B EDUC 391
Explores perspectives on educational policy and practice.
This course will address the intersection of three concepts fundamental to our time and place: culture, knowledge, and education. Each of these concepts will be explored separately using seemingly simple yet complex questions such as: (a) What is culture? (b) What is knowledge? (c) Whose knowledge counts? and (d) What is the purpose of education? Then the focus will turn to considering ways these concepts interact and affect educational opportunities. How do race, culture, socio-economic histories, language, gender, sexual orientation, and religious views affect educational opportunities? We will consider perspectives from diverse disciplines including psychology, multicultural education, philosophy, cultural and language studies, and science. "Education" will be understood as extending beyond the school setting.
We will approach issues from positions of empowerment rather than victimization, even as we discuss the realities of individuals and groups frequently marginalized or underserved in schools and society. This is not a methods course. Instead it will provide a knowledge base relevant to any major or profession, including those leading to educators.
We will be reading texts on electronic reserve rather than using a single textbook since our approach will be multidisciplinary.
Student learning goals
1. Define culture, knowledge, and education.
2. Discuss issues relevant to culture, knowledge and education (e.g., immigration, myths associated with language acquisition, historical context of US education relative to students’ backgrounds and needs).
3. Use appropriate academic vocabulary necessary for discussing connections between culture, knowledge, and education (including but not limited to academic knowledge, cultural knowledge, familial knowledge, power, access, multiple perspectives, diversity, self-identity, group-identity, stereotype/generalization, prejudice, equity/equality, pluralism, democracy, and social justice).
4. Sensitively and honestly engage in critical discussion of sensitive issues.
5. Discern between opinion and critical analysis (your own and others).
6. Consider multiple perspectives.
General method of instruction
Interactive discussions and activities designed around critical reflection, critical analysis, and listening to others.
This course is an introductory course and is open to first- through fourth-year students.
Readings will be placed on electroinc reserve with the UW library Bothell.

Abolish the Penny
Abolish the Penny
Among 2001 and 2006, there has been an increase of. 6 pennies for the reproduction in the penny. This increase displays economic issues that may lead to fatal ones. The penny is composed of 2% copper mineral and 98% zinc. These elements are tremendously in demand leading to the price of these types of materials to skyrocket. Metric scale system think the penny can be putting our country in jeopardy with economical losses. This kind of meaningless gold coin is taking a loss for the mint, and really should be eliminated.
The dime costs 1 . 4 cents to manufacture each time at the mint. This is causing the mint to get rid of money for the treasury. Last year, the mint earned $730 , 000, 000 dollars in profit. Various mint officials claim the estimation will probably be about $45 million as a result of cost of precious metals made in money. Our country is carrying on to have a very strong economy with all the stock market segments going up. The penny may well affect these types of benefits from the rapid production of these cash. Copper and zinc are the main factors that create the penny. With the rising costs of these elements, our economy may back up a bit. Because of this, the U. S. mint should decrease their penny production.
The Lincoln cent has produced excessive sums that is ensuing outrageous mintages into the enormous amounts. While the penny production offers suprassed one billion consider the 1950's, a change happened. The Denver colorado Mint experienced assumed the role as the nation's main source pertaining to the lincoln pennies. The 1952 creation of 746, 130, 000 D-mint mere cents quadrupled the Philadelphia end result. As a result, Colorado struck multiple billion Lincolns in the late 50s. Into the age of the 60's, Philadelphia, Colorado and S . fransisco minted an overall total over thirty-three billion cash. The dime production don't stop generally there. During the seventies, 80's, 90's and up to now, there has been an overall total of about 363 billion cents minted. This kind of averages to about 1210 pennies per head in the United States. These types of numbers are merely simply... | <urn:uuid:e6bc7836-46e4-47ee-b447-3b06f25cd2e8> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://herbieduo.com/abolish-the-cent/49046-abolish-the-penny-article.html | 2020-01-19T07:05:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250594333.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200119064802-20200119092802-00284.warc.gz | en | 0.930432 | 461 |
Blundon was returning home from trip to the store, it was 9:30 at night on a familiar route. As Blundon describes the incident, a truck burst on to the Main Road from the side road, ignoring the stop sign and barreling across the street directly into Blundon’s car.
Dazed he struggled to open the door.
“I finally got my door free, I got out and stood up, and we were talking over the roof of my car, all he said was ‘what are you doing? ‘So I said ‘what are you doing?’ and he kind of casually walked back to his truck,” Blundon told The Advertiser. “And I thought ‘this guy is loaded.”
Blundon says he thought the driver was walking back to his truck to retrieve his insurance information and begin the process of sorting out the mess. Instead, Blundon says he climbed aboard and drove away.
“He started up the truck, backed off my car, ripping and tearing metal and drove away,” Blundon said. “As he was driving away I got his licence plate.”
Blundon says he thought it would be a quick call and officers would come “lights and sirens blazing,” a quick case closed.
Or maybe not.
There is a loophole in Canada’s DUI legislation; habitual drunk drivers know it, and now so does Blundon.
“It’s called ‘bolus drinking,’ it has it’s own name to it,” said Andrew Murie, Chief Executive Officer for Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada. “It’s a loophole that defence attorney’s use with clients and it is usually used by people who drink and drive a lot.”
The gist is this; the suspected drunk driver flees the scene and claims to have consumed alcohol after the accident. Depending on a variety of factors, the tactic works, so much so Parliament is moving to close the loophole.
“There is a parliamentary change going through the house right now to not allow that defence going forward…,” said Murie. “The problem is right now all the onus is on the Crown to prove that he didn’t do what he said he did, and then in the future it will be the reverse. So, if you come up with this kind of story you have to prove, in factual detail with witnesses, that’s actually what happened.”
Murie says the private member’s bill introduced by Québec Conservative MP Steven Blaney, has already passed a second reading in the House of Commons, soon he expects it to become law — a rare feat for a Private Member’s Bill.
“It’s right now having witnesses discuss the bill and hopefully in the next six weeks it receives approval by the committee and is sent back to the house,” said Murie. “So it could be legislation by May or June this year.”
With the investigation into the DUI still ongoing in Blundon’s incident, there isn’t much the RCMP can discuss specifically about the case, other than to confirm there is an active investigation and that a summons has been issued for a failure to appear to the driver of the truck.
The RCMP did, however, speak to the often times difficult task of convicting suspected drunk drivers
“Impaired driving investigations, in general, can be very technical depending on the circumstances…” said Sgt. Rod Gallop for the RCMP Grand Falls-Windsor detachment. “There are investigative avenues we can take to continue with the investigation but it makes it more complex.”

In an effort to bring fiscal clarity to the cost to the city, Councilman Stephen Levin is asking the Department of Education (DOE) to put a moratorium on opening new facilities until the department can produce a detailed report of the funding levels over the next five years.
“We need a moratorium on new charter schools in New York City until there is an understanding of how this money is being spent now and at what level charter schools will be funded in the future,” Levin said.
According to Levin, the city has allotted $210 million, or 25 percent more, in funding for charter schools next year, and is paying double for the schools than what it was just three years ago.
“Instead of using charter schools as a way to find best practices for the entire school system, charter school executives have instead focused on growing the total number of charters in the city,” Levin said. “With limited funds, we as a city must have a handle on where our money is going before allocating further funding into new charter schools.”
Steve Zimmerman, director of the Open School Project and founder of the Academy of the City Charter School in Woodside, was surprised to hear there was an increase in funding from the city.
“It’s just not true. We typically expect increases of 2 to 3 percent,” Zimmerman said in rebuttal to the proposed moratorium. “We get an amount every year from Albany that’s been frozen now for three years in a row and will be frozen for a fourth year.”
Although Zimmerman agreed that there should be a better understanding from the city, and acknowledges the new vision of charter schools coming to the city with mayor-elect Bill de Blasio.
“I think it’s perfectly fine to have a new mayor to have a new view,” he said. “It will be healthy for the sector and education in general.”
Dmytro Fedkowskyj, the Queens representative on the Panel for Education Policy at the DOE, said the 25 percent increase is due to money coming from the federal government on a lag to the state.
He added the problem regarding oversight is because individual boards are set up for each charter school to control the money.
“We need to find a better way to do everything, but we need to take baby steps to do that,” Fedkowskyj said. “It diverts attention from schools that are struggling.”
He said he hopes a clearer vision of dealing with charter schools in the future will help cut the cost to the city and build a fairer playing field for public schools.
“I think it makes sense so that so we can examine what we need and what it does to the communities themselves, instead of opening them up like new trees,” he said. | <urn:uuid:9742191e-51b4-4b13-a6f1-a6ce46b13158> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://queensledger.com/view/full_story/24121293/article-Elected-officials-calls-for-moratorium-on-charter-schools | 2018-03-23T16:54:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648404.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20180323161421-20180323181421-00562.warc.gz | en | 0.963857 | 589 |

Sightseeing and history
Beijing is more than just a modern city with countless skyscrapers; it is also home to some of the most amazing historically and religiously relevant sites. If you are one of those people who love to do a bit of sightseeing then this is definitely the place for you. In Beijing, you will find the well-known Forbidden City, which served as a palatial residence for the heads of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The gorgeous ancient Chinese architecture is perfectly complimented by the lush and magnificent gardens that have been a backdrop in many films and shoots. The gardens are described by many as a form of art.
There are also several old temples that are worth looking at. One of the most famous ones in the region is the Temple of Heaven, which has been given the status of a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Temples of the Sun and Moon can also be found nearby and are best known for their mysterious and ethereal feel.
If even after all that you are still in the mood for more, then we have good news for you. It is said that there are roughly around one hundred museums in the city of Beijing and each of them holds something spectacular for travelers. From ancient artifacts to beautiful pieces of art, these museums have so much to offer that you can easily spend hours inside every single one of them.
China shares a border with Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, North Korea, Mongolia, Russia, Laos, Veitnam, Hong Kong, Macau, Burma, Bhutan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan. All these places have very different cultures. India and Pakistan have many historic places you can visit. They have the civilizations of Moejodaro and Harrappa. You can find the highest mountain in the world in Nepal. Hong Kong is a modern metropolitan city where you can shop for your loved ones and meet single women. You can also meet great single women in North Korea. Chinese women love to travel and learn about different cultures so you can travel over the border and enjoy a good time with them.
Food and culture
The Chinese are known to have a diverse cuisine most of which is very different from what Americans and Europeans are used to. Thus, it is the opportunity of a lifetime for foodies from other parts of the world to try out exciting new dishes that they will probably never find anywhere else. The cuisine of Beijing is also referred to as Jing cuisine or Mandarin cuisine.
When in Beijing, it is highly recommended that one tries the Peking duck as well as Imperial Court food which is also known as Fangshan. This was the food served to Chinese emperors and their guests, thus it is definitely no less than a royal treat. If you are a little bit on the adventurous side then you will definitely want to sample some of the most famous Chinese delicacies, such as frog legs and fried liver.
Food and culture go hand in hand in China and you will find countless roadside restaurants that give you value for your money. They are also some of the best places where you can get real authentic Chinese food. The atmosphere they provide is also an experience on its own, as the streets are brightly lit at night and filled with all kinds of people until the late hours. There are five main streets that are dedicated to food but the most well-known are perhaps the fangzhuang food street and the wangfujing snack street.
If, however, you want to spend a lavish and romantic night on the town with your significant other, then do not despair because Beijing has plenty of fancy five start restaurants to meet that need. These expensive and beautiful restaurants will cater to your demands and the food will be cooked exactly to your liking.
Beijing is one of those cities that always have something going on. It is a center of cultural and athletic activities that take place round the year. Several plays and other productions take place every month, as well as sporting events. If you are planning a vacation in China then it would serve you well do check out the calendar of events so that you can schedule it around the one that piques your interest the most.
Shopping and leisure
Beijing is truly a shopper’s paradise. No matter what your credit limit is Beijing is the place to be. China is known to be one of the largest manufacturers of consumer goods globally and the extent of this can only fully be realized by going on a shopping spree yourself. They say that in Beijing one does not find shops, the shops find you.
Here you will find everything from small souvenirs to wholesale markets for some of the most technical goods that are available today. Beijing is one of the largest shopping districts for all the latest gadgets, which can often be purchased at a lower cost than elsewhere.
If you are interested in luxury and branded items then head off to one of the many upscale shopping malls and complexes that carry hundreds of labels. The stores hold regular sales, giving shoppers a chance to literally shop till they drop. You can find absolutely anything here from diamond jewellery to a custom-made pair of jeans, if you can afford to foot the bill for it. If you cannot, then do not worry because there is still a very good chance that you can get a first grade copy of the item for a fraction of the price. In China you will be able to find cheap copies of almost anything whether you are strolling down the street or wandering through a multi-story plaza that has been constructed to serve this very purpose.
A word of caution is advised though; always make sure to check the items thoroughly before buying them from such places to avoid purchasing something that later turns out to be broken or damaged. Your bargaining skills will also prove to be useful so make sure to haggle in order to bring down the price to a more reasonable one.
The nightlife in Beijing is just as interesting and vibrant as the city itself is. There are numerous clubs, bars and karaoke joints spread throughout the city. They range from the super exclusive A-list celebrity clubs such as 5f, to the more affordable smaller ones that are the perfect spot for hanging out with a few close friends. Each of these clubs has its own unique décor but the one thing they all have in common is that they play a great variety of music.
Walking into one of them, one can expect to meet single women from all over the world. This is a great way to form new friendships that could last for many years, as the crowds are friendly and the atmosphere is energetic.
A short summary
Beijing is the capital city of the republic of China and is one of the most famous cities in the whole world due to a variety of factors. It is a breathtakingly beautiful city with an abundance of historical places that lend it a charming old world feeling. It is also simultaneously one of the most modern and technologically advanced cities that exist today. It has countless awe-inspiring skyscrapers that are a testament to the wonders of architecture.
Regardless of what a person’s interests are or whether they are travelling alone or as part of a small or large group, Beijing is sure to have what they are looking for. Each day here brings with it exciting new possibilities. Spend your days eating delicious food and trying out all sorts of activities ranging from sports to the theatre.
Make sure that you have saved up enough so that you can splurge! If bargain hunting is your forte then head off to some of the more upscale localities for high end shopping. If you want something slightly more affordable or something to simply help you remember Beijing, then take a walk down one of the many streets and districts dedicated to shopping.
End the day by unwinding and making new friends, and while you are at it, enjoy some dancing and music. Visit one of the hip and happening clubs to get a true feel of the nightlife of Beijing and see for yourself that the city never really slows down.
Plan your trip wisely, so that even a second of your time is not wasted because Beijing truly has enough to exhaust even the most inquisitive and explorative of tourists! We guarantee that this will be one trip that will stay with you forever. | <urn:uuid:0b93ebf7-b0aa-428e-ba3c-84513bbc555d> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.flinggo.com/place/165-Beijing | 2021-05-13T13:26:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243989916.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20210513111525-20210513141525-00090.warc.gz | en | 0.971078 | 1,684 |
Most people agree that following the news and current events is important, yet as many as one third of people don’t keep up with the news on a regular basis. Among reasons cited for NOT following the news are the time required, difficulty in understanding the topics, bias of news sites, sensationalism of the headlines, negativity and fear mongering by the media, and the annoyance of click bait and video ads.
Informucate.com is a different kind of news site that seeks to address these issues by providing All the News in Just 12 Views, leaving out the bias, bloat and bull!
Informucate synthesizes the news into just 12 current stories, each only a paragraph or two, with explanations of jargon, concepts, and key terms right alongside the stories. Not sure about ISIL ? Don’t know what FOMC means? Can’t remember who Rand Paul is? Don’t understand the terms Triple Crown, Grand Slam, or March Madness? Anytime you read a story with terminology, jargon, abbreviations, institutions, or names and places that might be unfamiliar, there is a quick explanation right alongside the article.
Informucate is not a news aggregator. All daily stories are selected by editors and written by journalists. Compared to bloated and biased news sites, as well as other “explainer” sites that in actuality do not explain, informucate allows viewers to get their news in just a few minutes a day, and more importantly, understand what they have read.
The 12 stories cover the top news of the day, as well as health, trending, entertainment, money, technology, and the popular ‘bad behavior’ report. By presenting a mixture of news that runs the gamut from serious to entertainment to trending, the 12 stories give everyone the information they need to stay informed and be more confident at work, school and in social settings. Best of all, it takes just 5 minutes a day to get informucated.
In addition to news stories, there’s also a fast facts video encyclopedia that includes fun daily trivia and other short videos on subjects including, dogs, cats, US Presidents, colleges, holidays, and more. | <urn:uuid:a486c016-45a4-4494-a044-dc908d065236> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | http://www.leytestar.com/2015/09/11/get-more-update-on-news-and-current-events-without-the-click-baits/ | 2021-01-22T03:43:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703529080.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20210122020254-20210122050254-00242.warc.gz | en | 0.939405 | 458 |

The next chapter in Murphy’s solo endeavors remains to be written. Looking back, his journey has been a rich voyage into the unknown coupled with many successes and few shortcomings. Through each reinvention, Murphy has brought new substance and life to his work while retaining enough of the old to be recognizable. If the bulk of his career is any indication, Murphy won’t be sitting still for long. And, based on past events, whatever comes next will be an unapologetic forward reinvention with enough of a look backwards to not leave everyone behind. Your move, Peter.

Omni-Path Express is powered by new, highly optimized host software supporting OFI and is compatible with all existing Omni-Path deployments. OFI is developed under the auspices of the OpenFabrics Alliance and is focused on providing modern applications with a rich set of fabric capabilities.
FREMONT, CA: Cornelis Networks, a technology leader delivering purpose-built, high-performance fabrics for High-Performance Computing (HPC), High-Performance Data Analytics (HPDA), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), today announced the upcoming release of a new fabric solution, Cornelis Omni-Path Express, with availability beginning in the fourth quarter of this year.
"The company's solutions have long enabled end-users to efficiently address their most challenging application needs associated with modeling and simulation, data analytics, and deep learning, and the company's new offering is no exception," said Phil Murphy, CEO Cornelis Networks. "Cornelis Omni-Path Express, available later this year, cost-effectively delivers industry-leading network performance at the lowest software footprint through the optimized partitioning of network functions. Enabled by a hardware infrastructure well-matched to the needs of OpenFabrics Interfaces (OFI), this new solution provides end-users a wide spectrum of optimized capabilities."
Omni-Path Express is powered by new, highly optimized host software supporting OFI, and is compatible with all existing Omni-Path deployments. OFI is developed under the auspices of the OpenFabrics Alliance and is focused on providing modern applications with a rich set of fabric capabilities. Cornelis Networks has worked closely with leading CPU and GPU manufacturers, as well as leading system solution providers, to ensure the broad applicability and availability of its Omni-Path Express solution.
"The fields of analytics and machine learning have continued to drive the need for high-performance systems. Our surveys reveal that over 80 percent of HPC users have already adopted AI into their HPC environments or are actively working towards it within the next year," said Addison Snell, CEO, Intersect360 Research. "High-performance fabric interconnects are an essential element of the HPC ecosystem. A few years ago, InfiniBand was the de facto open standard for scalable, low-latency systems. Cornelis' investment in Omni-Path, combined with the NVIDIA acquisition of Mellanox, suddenly flips the conversation. Now it is InfiniBand that can potentially be viewed as proprietary to a single processor vendor, whereas Omni-Path Express is an open, multi-vendor solution." | <urn:uuid:1743205c-391d-4d72-8974-a9b9f0fe48da> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.cioapplications.com/news/cornelis-networks-announces-the-upcoming-release-of-omnipath-express-nid-8101.html | 2021-10-18T08:33:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585199.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018062819-20211018092819-00502.warc.gz | en | 0.938792 | 521 |

PIRACICABA, Brazil — The dozen patients wait in rows of chairs in the health clinic, while the mosquitoes flit in the shadows, in a city where the Zika virus has just arrived.
Débora Duraes, a nurse at the Programa de Saude da Familia clinic, sees pregnant women everyday. They tell her how much they worry about Zika, the mosquito-borne virus that causes birth defects, and she understands completely. She herself is eight months along, and “for sure” scared of a fateful bite.
This sleepy neighborhood, where Brazil is trying out genetically modified mosquitoes to battle wild ones, offers all the comforts of home to the flying disease-carriers. Windows in houses lack screens, cracked sidewalks hold puddles, and upright old tires filled with water advertise auto body shops. In a nearby neighborhood, the Brazilian Army recently held a “fighting day” spent spraying for mosquitoes and cleaning out mosquito-friendly puddles. Health officials in this 500,000-person city have confirmed 2 cases of Zika in pregnant women, and are investigating another 47 cases, 14 in pregnant women.
Duraes doesn’t live in a neighborhood protected by genetically altered mosquitoes. Bug sprays and mosquito nets are her only defenses at home. “I would like to live here,” inside the clinic, she said.
In Brazil, the nation at the center of the spreading Zika outbreak, millions of pregnant women are panicking over Zika-linked birth defects, now officially declared a global health emergency. Warnings of microcephaly — a shrunken skull and brain seen in newborns in northeastern Brazil after Zika infections — are on TV, the radio, and posters nationwide. On Friday, a study of Zika-infected pregnant women in Rio de Janeiro reported that 29% passed on severe birth defects or had stillbirths, most commonly when infected in the first trimester.
“Patients are showing more concern about Zika virus now than any other serious disease,” obstetrician Viviane Cisi Peliello of the Hospital Santa Joana in nearby São Paulo, a city of more than 11 million people, told BuzzFeed News by email.
And now this fear is spreading north, nine months behind the outbreak. On Friday, Colombian health officials announced the country’s first reports of birth defects — two cases of brain abnormality and one case of microcephaly — linked to Zika infections during pregnancy.
Many more microcephaly cases are likely to appear outside of Brazil, PAHO’s Marcos Espinal said at a Wednesday briefing, “in the next few months.”
That worries Claudio Maierovitch, director of disease surveillance at Brazil’s health ministry. “It started out fast in northeastern Brazil, then it grew slowly. But it could expand in new regions fast like it did before,” he told BuzzFeed News, in Portuguese.
Maria do Carmo Tunussi, a health agent at Duraes’ clinic in Piracicaba, remembers last year’s outbreak of dengue, another tropical virus carried by mosquitoes. At the height of that outbreak, their small clinic saw five or six infected patients a day.
“It was very bad,” Tunussi told BuzzFeed News, in Portuguese. Patients filled the clinic’s now-sparse waiting room, and São Paulo state suffered the highest dengue infection rate in Brazil. Now the worry is that Zika, carried by the same species of mosquito, will follow the same course.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot that doctors can do for their anxious pregnant patients. “What worries me the most in this situation is that we have no absolute certainty that the recommendations we are giving to pregnant women related to Zika virus will actually protect them,” said Peliello, the obstetrician in São Paulo.
Although the evidence linking Zika to microcephaly, a shrunken skull and brain, is “extremely strong,” as Lyle Petersen of the U.S. CDC said on Wednesday, it is not yet definitive. Of the 4,222 suspected cases of microcephaly in Brazil, just 641 have been confirmed in cases possibly linked to Zika. The virus has been found in the brains of only a handful of stillborn fetuses and babies with microcephaly.
The disease is presenting public officials with all kinds of scary firsts: It’s the first mosquito-borne disease linked to birth defects, and the first found to spread sexually. It’s also the first infectious disease since rubella, 50 years ago, discovered to cause birth defects. “We haven't seen anything like this before,” Petersen said.
Doctors can’t answer pregnant women’s most common questions. How often does an infection during pregnancy lead to birth defects? Do asymptomatic cases cause birth defects? Which other mosquitoes can transmit the disease? How does the virus infect fetal brain cells? Will healthy children born to infected women later have mental health problems?
We are in a completely new situation,” Peliello said. “We are not used to saying ‘we do not know yet’.”
Experts also don’t know how long the virus persists in semen after an infection. So CDC recommends men who have traveled to Zika-infected regions wear condoms for the duration of a female partner’s pregnancy, just to be safe.
The governments of El Salvador, Brazil, and Jamaica have all recommended that women avoid getting pregnant in the next six months to two years. And the CDC recommends that pregnant women avoid travel to some 34 countries and regions, including Brazil, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. But for pregnant women who live in Brazil, that isn’t an option.
“Pregnant women are almost forgotten. All the advice is to not get pregnant,” Priscilla Fillipos of São Paulo, who is 18 weeks pregnant, told BuzzFeed News.
Since Zika seems to infect around 80% of its victims without causing any symptoms, she said, “every pregnant woman is worried here all the time.”
On Wednesday, the World Health Organization unveiled interim recommendations for pregnant women living in Zika-infected regions, calling for ultrasound testing and amniocentesis testing if any abnormalities are spotted, although the sensitivity of the latter test for the virus is “uncertain.”
Poor pregnant women are most at risk, Peter Hotez of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston testified at a Congressional hearing on Wednesday.
“We’ll soon see Zika affecting all of the poor cities of Central America, Guatemala City, Tegucigalpa, San Salvador, and Managua,” Hotez said. And the same mosquitoes known to carry the Zika virus range across the southern U.S. from Texas to Florida.
“I think the likelihood is high that we might see evidence for Zika transmission in Houston and elsewhere on the Gulf Coast, especially in poor urban areas of New Orleans, Mobile, Tampa, and Miami," he said.
Just 153 cases have been reported in the U.S. (all spread by people who had been traveling). But American pregnant women are certainly worried. U.S. doctors are being flooded with questions and requests for screening from pregnant women who have traveled to regions with the Zika-carrying mosquitoes. A recent report from the CDC investigating 14 U.S. women infected via sex with male partners has added to concerns.
“There has been a major uptick. We are fielding screening requests from a lot more women,” high-risk pregnancy specialist Neil Silverman of the Center For Fetal Medicine and Women’s Ultrasound in Los Angeles told BuzzFeed News.
That Zika infections don’t trigger symptoms in most cases only fuels the anxiety, Silverman added. A CDC report in February that looked at pregnant U.S. travelers said the agency started with screening requests from 259 recently returned travelers. Of those, 151 reported that they had Zika symptoms, such as fever, rash or joint pain, during their trips. Only nine turned out to have Zika infections. But of these, two had miscarriages, two had abortions, and one gave birth to a baby with microcephaly.

The gene encoding the α-amylase from Bacillus licheniformis was cloned, with and without the native signal sequence, and expressed in Escherichia coli, resulting in the production of the recombinant protein in the cytoplasm as insoluble but enzymatically active aggregates. Expression with a low concentration of the inducer at low temperature resulted in the production of the recombinant protein in soluble form in a significantly higher amount. The protein produced with signal sequence was exported to the extracellular medium, whereas there was no export of the protein produced from the gene without the signal sequence. Similarly, the α-amylase activity in the culture medium increased with time after induction in case of the protein produced with signal sequence. Molecular mass determinations by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the purified recombinant α-amylase from the extracellular medium revealed that the native signal peptide was cleaved by E. coli signal peptidase between Ala28 and Ala29. It seems possible that the signal peptide of α-amylase from B. licheniformis can be used for the secretion of other recombinant proteins produced using the E. coli expression system.

Ezekiel 37 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)
37 He prophesieth the bringing again of the people, being in captivity. 16 He showeth the union of the ten tribes with the two.
2 And he led me round about by them, and behold, they were very many in the open field, and lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones, Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and make flesh grow upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, that ye may live, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews, and the flesh grew upon them, and above the skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind: prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God, Come from the four [c]winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is gone, and we are clean cut off.
12 Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your sepulchers, and bring you into the land of Israel,
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, [d]when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your sepulchers,
14 And shall put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then ye shall know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.
15 ¶ The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee a piece of wood, and write upon it, Unto Judah, and to the children of Israel his companions: then take [e]another piece of wood, and write upon it, Unto Joseph the tree of Ephraim, and to all the house of Israel his companions,
17 And thou shalt join them one to another into one tree, and they shall be as one in thine hand.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these?
19 Thou shalt answer them, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will take the tree [f]of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him even with the tree of Judah, and make them one tree, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 And the pieces of wood whereon thou writest, shall be in thine hand, in their sight.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.
22 And I will make them one people in the land, upon the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two peoples, neither be divided anymore henceforth into two kingdoms.
23 Neither shall they be polluted anymore with their idols, nor with their abominations, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the [g]land, that I have given unto Jacob my servant, where your fathers have dwelt, and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their sons, and their sons’ sons forever, and my servant David shall be their prince forever.
26 Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them: it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forevermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 Thus the heathen shall know, that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my Sanctuary shall be among them forevermore.

There are times when only a percentage of your photo needs editing. For example, inside the graphic for the remaining, our issue was as well dark plus the track record was too mild straight from camera. Learn to lighten the topic without over-exposing the qualifications.
This is certainly the first thing which was taught to me in photo editing (once we obtained all that super challenging opening-information things driving us).
Yet again, you can find dozens of ways to dodging and burning, so Do not get hung up over the instruments to use. Think about knowledge where by to do it and how much. Just Keep to the strategies used by makeup artists.

DVT: What you should know about DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS
We all have been trapped on a plane for hours or stuck in our cars when traveling or when tied up in traffic. You know the feeling of cramped, aching legs, when you can’t wait to be free to get up and stretch your legs and get your blood flowing again. Well, sitting for extended periods of time can be more than an uncomfortable nuisance – it can also result in a potentially very dangerous condition called deep vein thrombosis.
Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body. Blood clots occur when blood thickens and clumps together. Most deep vein blood clots occur in the lower leg or thigh, but they also can form in other parts of the body. DVT is a serious condition because a blood clot in your vein can break loose, travel through your bloodstream and eventually lodge in your lungs, blocking blood flow (pulmonary embolism).
In about half of the cases of DVT, there are no discernable symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they may include:
• Swelling in the affected leg, including swelling in your ankle and foot.
• Pain in your leg; including pain in your ankle and foot. The pain often starts in your calf and can feel like cramping or a charley horse.
• Warmth over the affected area.
• Changes in your skin color, such as turning pale, red or blue.
If you notice these symptoms it is important to see your doctor for guidance. Your physician will want to take precautions to lessen or prevent the chance your blood clot will dislodge and travel through the bloodstream causing a pulmonary embolism.
Warning Signs of a Pulmonary Embolism
• Unexplained sudden onset of shortness of breath
• Chest pain or discomfort that worsens when you take a deep breath or when you cough
• Feeling lightheaded or dizzy, or fainting
• Rapid pulse
• Coughing up blood
• A sense of anxiety or nervousness
If you develop symptoms of a pulmonary embolism – you should seek medical attention immediately.
Risk Factors for DVT
Blood clots can be caused by many different things, namely, anything that causes your blood not to circulate normally, or clot properly. There are a number of factors that can increase your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis.
• Sitting for long periods of time, such as when driving or flying. When your legs remain still for long periods, your calf muscles don’t contract, which normally helps blood circulate. Blood clots can form in the calves of your legs if your calf muscles aren’t moving. Although sitting for long periods is a risk factor, your chance of developing deep vein thrombosis while flying or driving is relatively low.
• Inheriting a blood-clotting disorder. Some people inherit a disorder that makes their blood clot more easily. This inherited condition may not cause problems unless combined with one or more other risk factors.
• Prolonged bed rest, such as during a long hospital stay, or paralysis. When your legs remain still for long periods, your calf muscles don’t contract to help blood circulate, which can make blood clots develop.
• Injury or surgery. Injury to your veins or surgery can slow blood flow, increasing the risk of blood clots. General anesthetics used during surgery can make your veins wider (dilate), which can increase the risk of blood pooling and then clotting.
• Pregnancy. Pregnancy increases the pressure in the veins in your pelvis and legs. Women with an inherited clotting disorder are especially at risk. The risk of blood clots from pregnancy can continue for up to six weeks after you have your baby.
• Cancer. Some forms of cancer increase the amount of substances in your blood that cause your blood to clot. Some forms of cancer treatment also increase the risk of blood clots.
• Inflammatory bowel disease. Bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis, increases your risk of DVT.
• Heart failure. People with heart failure are at risk of DVT because a damaged heart doesn’t pump blood as effectively as a normal heart does. This increases the chance that blood will pool and clot.
• Birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. Birth control pills (oral contraceptives) and hormone replacement therapy both can increase your blood’s ability to clot.
• A pacemaker or a thin, flexible tube (catheter) in a vein. These medical treatments can irritate the blood vessel wall and decrease blood flow.
• A history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. If you’ve had DVT before, you’re more likely to have DVT in the future.
• A family history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. If someone in your family has had DVT or a pulmonary embolism, your risk of developing DVT is increased.
• Being overweight or obese. Being overweight increases the pressure in the veins in your pelvis and legs.
• Smoking. Smoking affects blood clotting and circulation, which can increase your risk of DVT.
• Age. Being over age 60 increases your risk of DVT, though it can occur at any age.
• Being tall. Taller men may be more likely to have blood clots. Taller women do not appear to have an increased risk, perhaps because most women do not typically get as tall.
So what’s the take-away?
Although the symptoms of DVT can be subtle and difficult to detect, when DVT is spotted early and properly treated, the risk of complications is reduced. When left untreated, it may cause severe, even fatal complications. Pulmonary embolism, an extremely serious complication from DVT, kills up to 300,000 people a year in the U.S. – that’s more than breast cancer and AIDS combined!
PreventDVT.org is a website dedicated to educating the public about the symptoms and dangers of DVT. Prevent DVT provides a quick and easy Risk Assessment Tool to help you assess your risk of DVT. Check out your risk factors and print the results to discuss with your physician during your next appointment. | <urn:uuid:24f081a9-2001-410e-b893-b897cc7b5904> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.wellbeingmag.com/2012/11/dvt-what-you-should-know-about-deep-vein-thrombosis/ | 2021-06-17T08:59:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487629632.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210617072023-20210617102023-00449.warc.gz | en | 0.930522 | 1,333 |

Some of the world’s oldest examples of graffiti are carved in stone. There are ancient Egyptian monuments that have been partially defaced because some ancient-but-not-as-ancient Greek guy chiseled “Stavros was here” into them. I think about that every time I see someone’s name or something scrawled in concrete even though that doesn’t require a chisel, and concrete was largely, though not exclusively, used by the Romans.
Also writing in concrete requires being at just the right place at the right time.
What’s surprising is how quickly concrete wears down. It seems like it would be a more long-lasting form of graffiti, but, looking down, I found that in places with heavy foot traffic examples of it disappeared pretty quickly. Still there are some places where it lasts. Here, for instance, is a bit next to Nashville’s own Exit/In:
I found this just a few blocks away. I think it’s more recent and already shows signs of wear:

The peaceful death of Hamish Miller at his home near St Ives, Cornwall, prompted an enormous and appreciative response. The Parallel Community, which Hamish recently helped to found, enjoyed over 47,000 messages on its website, a warranted response to a man who had given so much to both the alternative and earth mysteries movement. Hamish was well loved.
Hamish was always a Scot, but he was not always involved in alternative ideas. He spent his childhood near Stirling and attended Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, where he graduated in engineering. After a career in this discipline, eventually owning his own company, he underwent a near-death experience (NDE) while under the surgeon’s knife, and this totally redirected his attentions to other matters that were to occupy the final thirty years of his life. He moved to a 12 acre smallholding near Trencrom, a short distance from Hayle and St Ives, where he set up a fully equipped blacksmith’s workshop/studio. He quickly made himself a local name as a fine and most useful craftsman, this leading to later acclaim as a sculptor in metal. Commissions followed and his garden was dotted with graceful and humorous examples of his work.
It was in Cornwall, living under the powerful peak of Trencrom that Hamish first began to become interested in dowsing. He rapidly became very proficient indeed in this art, and in the late 80s, Hamish got together with another adopted Cornishman, the writer and historian Paul Broadhurst, and together they mounted one of the largest earth mysteries projects ever undertaken at the time. Travelling the length of what has since become known as the St Michael line – the longest line that can be drawn across southern Britain – they dowsed all the sites along it. Today the ‘Michael line’ is known to many people, at the time hardly anyone knew of it.
The Michael line passes through or adjacent to many of the prime sites in southern Britain and this includes many important megalithic sites such as Boscawen-un, the Hurlers and Avebury, as well as scores of churches named after the Saint, many perched on high tors and lower tumps, such as Glastonbury Abbey and Tor, Bury St Edmunds Abbey and Cathedral, Brentor and Burrow Mump.
This lengthy quest resulted in the publication of the best selling earth mysteries book of all time, The Sun and the Serpent, in the late 1980s. Building on work undertaken previously by his contemporary, John Michell, this book radically and practically approached the study of the interaction between Man and Landscape, and formed a precursor to the phenomenology movement in academic archaeology. | <urn:uuid:9af8ec97-c6f4-4d07-b74b-fed78c35cc6c> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://robinheath.info/archives/20 | 2018-06-24T07:16:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866888.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624063553-20180624083553-00522.warc.gz | en | 0.985823 | 564 |

Slate has this report:
Brow Beat has learned that the prop comes from a small newspaper prop company called the Earl Hays Press in Sun Valley, Calif. Started in 1915, Earl Hays is one of the oldest newspaper prop companies, and the paper in question was first printed in the 1960s (note the top-hat ad on the lower left), then offered as a “period paper,” better suited for Mad Men (where it has not appeared) than Scrubs (where it has). The screenshots don’t actually reveal the same prop—just various printings of the same file. The front is blank and can be customized, but the inside and back page are always identical. In fact, in No Country for Old Men, when Tommy Lee Jones is reading a paper at a diner, the section in his hands is the same as the one sitting on the table, suggesting that the prop master bought two copies to make the paper look fuller, but made the mistake of leaving the stock spread facing up.
Production companies use prop newspapers instead of real ones because getting clearance from an actual publication is usually more work than it’s worth in potential fees and bureaucracy. (There are exceptions. When Tony Soprano picked up his paper each morning, it was always the Newark Star Ledger.) Rather than battle the legal department at the New York Times for that perfunctory breakfast shot, prop masters buy a stack of Earl Hays fake papers, which cost just $15 each. Sometimes if they have some left over they’ll recycle them for another job.
In case you’re curious about the headlines, here are a couple. Above the photo of the young woman with long, thick, dark hair: “She’s 3rd Brightest But Hard ‘Gal’ To See.” On the opposite page above what turns out to be a warehouse burning: “Compromised Housing Bill Sent to President for OK.”
We watched The Graduate last night. It was released in 1967. I enjoyed the movie back then and again last night. Sometimes when I see a movie from long ago it just doesn’t hold up, but this one did for me. Dustin Hoffman and Ann Bancroft were excellent and Katherine Ross is nice to look at too.
It was fun to see things from that era. Like rotary dial telephones, phone booths, and especially a scene where Dustin Hoffman is drinking a canned beer and you can easily see that it was opened with a ‘church key’ (a device that punctured a can leaving a triangle shaped hole).
To this day, the soundtrack for The Graduate (Simon and Garfunkel) is my favorite soundtrack.
The big-screen adaptation of Internet viral sensation “Charlie Bit My Finger,” starring Adrien Brody and Jimmy Kimmel.

UK Funds IOM Clothing Distribution for Displaced Iraqis
Iraq - IOM began distribution of clothing vouchers this week for 6,350 displaced families in the cities of Dohuk and Erbil, Northern Iraq. Funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID), the USD 450 vouchers will enable displaced families to buy warm clothing to help them survive the winter.
The majority of the displaced fled their homes during the summer with little more than the clothing they were wearing and are unprepared for cold weather. Through IOM’s agreement with Maxi Mall in Dohuk and Erbil, voucher recipients can visit the store and choose from a variety of items that best meet their individual needs. Many are selecting shoes and winter jackets.
The scene from Maxi Mall in Dohuk was one of excitement as displaced families walked out with bags of clothing. Shaima Faisal from Mosul told IOM:
“My husband is sick, so when we fled our home my son and daughter had to carry him for two hours while we walked. We left with just the clothes we were wearing and our documents. With the cost of my husband’s medicine and our rent, we can’t afford anything, not even clothes. My daughter-in-law is expecting a child in two months – with this aid we can get baby clothes.”
The clothing voucher distribution is taking place over a period of two weeks in cooperation with local officials and community leaders, who helped IOM to identify the most vulnerable displaced people. Over 60 per cent of the vouchers have thus far been distributed.
IOM Iraq Chief of Mission Thomas Lothar Weiss said: “Many of the displaced people have lost everything; their homes, livelihoods and all their possessions. IOM Iraq offers a range of services to support displaced people through the winter months, including distribution of non-food relief item kits, winterized shelter, and fuel vouchers. We are pleased to carry out this clothing voucher distribution, but recognize that these people represent just a small portion of those in need. Additional funding is required, as thousands more displaced across the country still need help.”
According to IOM’s latest Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) over 2.17 million Iraqis have been displaced by the current conflict since January 2014. Of these, 30 per cent are in critical shelter arrangements, such as informal settlements, religious buildings, schools and unfinished buildings. Of the more than 462,000 displaced individuals in Dohuk governorate, over 193,000 are in critical shelter arrangements.
As part of the UN Humanitarian Country Team, IOM aims to assist 750,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) affected by the current crisis in Iraq. IOM Iraq’s funding requirements are USD 295.5 million; the IOM Iraq Appeal, as part of the UN Strategic Response Plan, is currently funded at 28 per cent.

There’s no question that effective advertising is essential to the success of any business. But what is effective advertising, and how can you make sure your advertising is doing its job? In this article, we’ll discuss the essential elements of effective advertising and provide tips for creating ads that reach your target market and generate results.
Meaning Of Advertising In Business
This is a kind of advertisement that sends a clear message to your audience and generates a certain reaction. You may think that the easiest way to create an effective advertisement would be to just do what worked in the past. But the truth is that you can’t simply repurpose old marketing strategies and expect the same results. You need to understand the basics of effective marketing and apply them to the current economy and today’s digital trends
A successful advertisement is one that can be understood quickly and is able to be made to fit into different kinds of media, such as print, radio, television, and even the Internet.
Importance Of Advertising In Business
Advertising is one of the most important aspects of marketing. It’s a way to reach potential customers and inform them of your products or services. Advertising can also create awareness of your company and its brands, and it can increase sales by persuading potential customers to buy your product.
What Makes Advertising Effective?
There are several factors that contribute to the effectiveness of advertising and help you get the best result in your marketing campaigns;
1. Relevance: The advertising should be relevant to the target audience. You would never buy a product that you don’t need, nor would you buy something that you do need but that you don’t know about.
2. Emotion: The ad should appeal to the emotions of the target audience. If the ad is too cold and calculating, it will not generate the emotional response you need to achieve.
3. Authenticity: Always remember your ad must be authentic and original, or it should be an extension of your company’s personality. If the ad is not authentic, it will be perceived as impersonal and cold.
4. Timing: The ad is never too early or too late; it must be timed to coincide with the appropriate moments in the buying cycle. Always be aware of the timing and season in the marketing world else you might not catch up with the latest trends.
5. Repetition: The ad must be repeated, and the frequency of repetition must be determined based on the target audience, their buying cycles, and the product or service you are offering.
Steps To Create An Effective Advertisement
1. Get The Handle On Your Target Audience
Before you can create an effective advertisement, you must first have a clear idea of your target audience. Who are you trying to target? Where do they live? What are their interests and hobbies? When is the best time to contact them? what are their problems and how can you solve them?
2. Make sure the ad looks professional
If you have the time and talent, computer graphics and desktop publishing software can provide a professional-looking campaign. Make your ads professional and strategic, and don’t forget to include a logo and a company name.
3. Be credible and Truthful
If you say your quality or value is the “best,” your advertisement should prove it. Be honest, and show people what you can do. Don’t try to hide your weaknesses or your shortcomings. Be open about your product or service and the benefits it can offer.
Make sure your message is genuine and truthful as there are stringent laws regulating misleading advertising statements or false information being used.
4. Make Sure Your Ads support Your Company’s Positioning
Great marketing ensures the company’s position is shown correctly in their campaigns and their product, along with the listing of important benefits and things that are distinctive in the product. This can include reasons why the product is superior and uniquely better than others available. It must also have an advertising personality the consumer will identify your brand with.
5. Stick with a familiar style
Advertisements that just talk to people and don’t have a personality can be very bland and boring. But those with a consistent pattern can easily resonate with the consumers, when they stay with it for at least a year or more, it can help them memorize the ads because of how they represent a brand. Changing advertisement styles and personalities too often is likely going to confuse potential buyers, It can also help them become less fertile.
6. Make Sure The Ad Is Competitive
Believe it or not, there are turns of people already doing what you are doing but how can you stand out from the crowd? If you are trying to get sales or make more profits, your ads must be competitive. What is important is to be competitive in what you are selling or the market that you are trying to reach. But remember, the competition should be with yourself and your brand, to become a better person and brand than you were before and not with other business owners in your field of business.
If you want a lot of customers to come to your store, post an attractive invitation and advertisements for them to come in both on your physical store and social media platforms. The ad should contain clues so potential customers can get their information about locations, store hours, and charge cards. Also, keep in mind that your ad must be simple, clear, and valuable to your target market. If your ad is not effective, you won’t get the results you want.

Five camera club members and two associates regrouped outside the gate of Point Lobos State Reserve just before the 9 a.m. opening of the park on Saturday, August 27. Since this is one of the favored destinations in northern California, an early morning arrival is advised to park goers.
The last field trip to Point Lobos was in December of 2004 and all those who attended were simply thrilled by the experience. I believe that was also the general feeling at the outcome of this trip. The park is still spectacular even in the late summer-usually the least picturesque time of year for most California parks. Although the brilliant greens and abundantly blooming wildflowers weren't present, the fairy-tale forest on the Allen Memorial Grove trail loop was nothing short of enchanting. We chose the forest trail because the morning fog persisted over the sea and killed all the spectacular blues that are usually reflected by the churning waters of the Pacific Ocean.
After a pleasant hike through the gnarled Monterey Cypress forest, we formed up again at the information kiosk and decided to hike the northern trails to Whaler's Cove. Point Lobos is one of two locations where these trees grow naturally. Many of the tree trunks and branches were covered by what appeared to be orange velvet, which actually is green algae containing high levels of carotene, the orange pigment that occurs naturally in carrots. The trees and algae co-exist with no detrimental effect to either species.
The hike to Whaler's Cove was not as spectacular as last December's hike, but even without the brilliant blue of the water for a background, the sights were sufficiently spectacular. Suzie, a new face on our field trips, was testing her Singh-ray filter, which adds a cool blue to the background and warms up the foreground. She certainly picked the right day to test that particular accessory!
The hike around the rocky coves of the point was pleasant and we managed to all find each other at the Whaler's Cabin Museum, housed in a small cabin built by one of the four Chinese fishing families that lived at the cove in the early 1850s. The cabin contains all sorts of interesting artifacts from the numerous former residents of Whaler's Cove, including Native American stone arrow points, antique toys, a massive antique diving suit etc. It is definitely worth sparing the few moments it takes to go through it. Included in the historic materials available at the cabin was a list of the many movies made on Point Lobos. Its movie history goes way back to the second decade of the twentieth century and includes such titles as: Captain January (1935, Shirley Temple), The Graduate (1967, Dustin Hoffman), Blind Date (1982, Bruce Willis, Kim Bassinger) and Turner and Hooch (1989, Tom Hanks and the big, slobbery dog).
The grass-roots movement to preserve the point was, in part, literally sparked off by those early twentieth-century moviemakers. During the filming of the 1929 movie Evangeline, a village was constructed as a movie set, and in the process of filming, the forest behind the village was burned and soon spread out of control. The fire was part of the film, but the destruction and blatant disregard of the filmmakers inspired local residents to come forward and begin to call for preservation of this uniquely beautiful spot. One of the twentieth-century Titans of fine art photography, Edward Weston, was one of the leaders of that movement. His participation and the work of many others made it possible to enjoy the beauty of this spectacular park-otherwise only wealthy property owners would have enjoyed the incomparable views from this most beautiful vantage point. The state of California acquired the park in the 1940s and, fortunately and rightfully so, the general public can hike the trails without "special connections" other than the $9-per-car users fee.
A tired, but happy group made its way back through the interior forest to the Seal Point parking lot and caravanned to Moss Landing, where we gathered at Phil's Fish Market to enjoy some morsels from the sea. Although it was a departure from the original plan to eat in Monterey, no one missed the traffic congestion near Cannery Row. Those of you who didn't go missed another great outing!

Those who shop at GameStop and are thinking of pre-ordering a Nintendo Switch are now shit out of luck. The retailer has announced that they have sold out of its first batch of the system.
GameStop is now working closely with Nintendo in the hopes of meeting demand while keeping customers updated. Gamers will be happy to know that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 are still available for pre-order.
GameStop’s Vice President of Merchandising, Bob Puzon has stated, .
“The fact that this initial allotment has been completely reserved in a matter of a few days demonstrates gamers’ desire for this fun and revolutionary gaming system.”
News of the shortage has actually upset many in the gaming community as Nintendo has once again failed to anticipate the demand for their product. Many have noted the problems face with limited supply of the Wii during the Seventh Generation era or the new NES back in 2016 (seriously Nintendo, hire an economist for once).
Nintendo Switch is set to be released on May 1, good luck finding one. | <urn:uuid:95587bd0-1ef7-4a51-a9b3-5b0a6e517a54> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://8bitdigi.com/gamestop-sold-out-of-nintendo-switch-pre-orders/ | 2021-07-30T18:58:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20210730185206-20210730215206-00616.warc.gz | en | 0.96476 | 225 |

Fancy tucking into bird pie, beard pickings or worm spaghetti? These are just some of the disgusting dinners that Roald Dahl’s Mr and Mrs Twit like to eat and now you can, too!
A new immersive theatre experience based on the famous tale The Twits is coming to London. The interactive dining experience is being created to celebrate what would have been Roald Dahl’s 100th birthday this year. In case you've forgotten about the author's nastiest tale, here's a quick recap: the Twits are a horrible couple who like to play terrible tricks on each other in their brick house without windows. The Twits do all sorts of horrible things, like making monkeys stand on their heads for hours and coating branches with glue in order to catch birds for bird pie. Hideously ugly and mean, the Twits might just be Roald Dahl's most disgusting characters ever!
Participants of the Dinner at the Twits event are invited to step inside the Twits’ windowless house and enjoy a menu of grotesque treats while watching a 90-minute show. Created by experimental chefs Bompas & Parr and interactive theatre experts Les Enfants Terrible, diners will receive a banquet of ‘deliciously disgusting dishes’, as well as Mr Twit’s ‘special brew’ and Mrs Twit’s ‘potent punch.’
Described by organisers as ‘the worst dinner party in the world,’ this disgusting feast is strictly for adults only (the show is recommended for those 16 and older, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). The dinners will take place at The Vaults underneath Waterloo station in Waterloo from 4th September to 30th October. Find out more and get tickets here.

Tonight I ask as a mother to bless my child as I do every night,
but now I am reminding you this is a special child.
This child helps to provide a blanket of protection that we as Americans slumber under each night.
He has decided to give his life to protect this great country of ours, and before now there was always prayer for you to watch over this child but after the terror that has struck our U.S. soil,
I feel even stronger, more pleading as I pray to you.
This child loves God and country and has sworn to protect her inhabitants.
But, this is still my child who I have sworn to protect with MY life until the day I die.
Now I need your help more than ever.
He is no longer in my reach, but can only be reached by your hand to protect him.
He may be on the oceans, above the earth or in lands foreign and hostile to him, please God, keep him safe and bring him home to me…alive and soon.
Let this horrendous terror go away. Let us find peace and keep these special children alive and safe to teach future generations how important life is and how important it is to protect it.
They are a rare breed, and we are the mothers who have helped to raise them.

Someone give me a bottle of water, a medal, and one of those magical tin foil blankets. And maybe some prize money. This month of travel is over, ending with a non-stop book marathon in Geneva, New York. There is only one way to break down the last week into a post, and that is with a chronological blow by blow.
Sunday, 25 November. I arrive in Geneva at midnight. Then I go to sleep. (ok, so this wasn’t the most high power day.)
Monday, 26 November. Time to spread the word about the link stitch binding. Below, Cadance sews her book with a touch of intrigue, as is appropriate for this structure. And so begins a three part bookbinding extravaganza at The Cracker Factory in Geneva, NY.
And where once there was nothing, now there are books.
Tuesday, 27 November. Break out the leather! Leather scraps are one of the benefits of binding books one flight up from Miles and May Furniture Works. These scraps may have been rejected for use upholstering the most beautiful chair in the world, but they are just right for the long and link stitch. As you will see below.
Wednesday, 28 November. Finger lakes nostalgia tour. I spend the day driving in a borrowed car from Geneva to Skaneateles to Aurora back to Skaneateles back to Geneva trying to catch up with old friends from my three years as the Victor Hammer Fellow at Wells College. Hello Michael and Winnie Bixler! Hello Nancy Gil! Hello Katie Baldwin!
Thursday, 29 November. Time to give a talk! My new book is currently on display alongside mockups and process materials at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. As a part of this show, I give a talk all about the design and production of the last two books. Good friends come from Geneva, Aurora, Syracuse, and even Washington DC! (Thank you, friends!!!) Thanks to Peter Verheyen, that talk is now available online. Would you like to watch?
Friday, 30 November. A double header. Part One: a drumleaf workshop for HWS architecture students taking a portfolio design class.
But wait, did you feel that? The slight change in the air? The far away sound of voices joined in song? What’s that over there? That Vandercook SP-20 humming and glowing across the room? Something feels different about it. . . something exciting and special. . .
Below, the lovely Katie Baldwin gives me a hand on the presses and Jonathan gets ready to print from an old advertising cut. The photo has a dreamlike quality because my press is just nearby.
Saturday, 1 December. Fly to Philadelphia, just in time to watch the SEC Championship. (Roll Tide.)
Seriously, blog friends, I am totally exhausted.Thanks Kirin, Jeffrey, Amy and Brandon for bringing me back to Geneva. Thanks Max for bringing me to Milwaukee, thanks Carol for sharing the table at Pyramid Atlantic. Thanks David, Michael, Chris, Nancy, Katie, Jessie and Peter for coming to the lecture. I fly back to England on Monday night. Then it is time to get back to work binding, printing, and working on new projects. But first I am going to lie on my stomach and eat snacks for 48 hours. More soon. | <urn:uuid:29db77d9-9a5a-4a41-ac97-61300471d2b2> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://bigjumppress.blog/2012/12/02/geneva-book-marathon/ | 2021-01-18T13:48:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703514796.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20210118123320-20210118153320-00375.warc.gz | en | 0.935124 | 688 |

Safari Explorer has only one dining room, located on C Deck. It's a simple space that serves as the restaurant for every meal onboard. Tables accommodate parties of six, and it's completely sit-where-you wish -- and most people change it up every meal as they get to know their fellow passengers. All meals are plated; there's no room for a buffet onboard.
Dining on Safari Explorer is truly exceptional, playing on simple yet brilliantly elevated ingredients and dishes. There's no menu for any meal. Instead, there's a special of the day for breakfast, as well as a meat and vegetarian option at lunch, and a meat, fish and vegetarian choice at dinner. Breakfast might include French toast with fresh, local blueberries and maple syrup, or Spam (a Hawaiian favorite) with scrambled eggs and rice. Sides like thick-cut bacon and chicken sausage and toast are always available. Midway through breakfast, the chef will pop out of the kitchen to describe the afternoon and evening meals, and servers will ask what you'd like for the rest of the day. (You can change your mind, but it helps cut down on food waste.)
At lunch, diners are treated to dishes like venison loco moco (another Hawaiian tradition) and shrimp nicoise salad. Passengers can opt for simple salads or deli sandwiches if they're not into the daily special. And, of course, there's a lunch dessert, which changes every day. Homemade ice creams (especially the chocolate) are to die for.
For dinner, items will include popular Hawaiian fish dishes, like broiled opakapaka. You also might get lamb or venison. Vegetarian dishes are inventive, with options like polenta-stuffed peppers. The best part at dinner: If you can't decide, you can order half portions of two or three choices. Portion sizes are pleasantly small, so if you want more, just ask.
Ingredients for all meals are fresh; you might actually see your chef in port picking up items for that day's recipes. Allergies are taken very seriously, and the chef and wait staff go out of the way to make sure they offer plenty of options even for those with challenging requirements. | <urn:uuid:06110c61-1f9c-4664-9e02-80ee42b203d6> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.cruisecritic.com/reviews/review.cfm?ShipID=533&pgtype=dining | 2020-11-26T02:13:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141185851.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20201126001926-20201126031926-00633.warc.gz | en | 0.956768 | 461 |

Myanmar is a country long marred by ethnic and political rebellions since its independence in 1948. What began in 1948 as internal conflict among ethnic minorities turned into one of the world’s longest-running civil wars. The repercussions of these conflicts are still seen today as Myanmar has struggled to maintain internal peace, leading to greater issues. Children suffer deeply from this. UNICEF reports that out of the 1.3 million children born in Myanmar, 92,500 will not make it to their first birthday, and 138,000 will not live to be five. Furthermore, 14,000 children are estimate to have HIV/AIDS, with another 43,000 being orphaned by the disease. Child labor and trafficking are also causes of child exploitation. These disasters have claimed thousands of lives, and left thousands missing and displaced. As a result, many children were left without parents, and without a home.
Pastor Sein Kyi and his wife, Ruby Htu Seng, have lived and served together in Myanmar since 2003. Their journey in orphan care, however, began in 2004 with the loss of their seven-month-old baby girl. This painful loss stirred in the couple a burning desire to care for unwanted, unhealthy, and orphaned children. In the poverty-stricken nation of Myanmar, they didn’t have to look far to find children such as these. In fact, before long, the number of children in need became too many for them to support on their own. Thus, the couple began Hosanna Care Children’s Hostel in 2011. Today, the couple serves 27 orphaned and vulnerable children. Some of the them come from broken families or drug-afflicted homes. Others come having lost their parents in the civil war that spans across northern Myanmar. All of these children were found in desperate need and are now prayerfully raised up by Sein, Ruby, and the other house parents serving alongside them.
Serving Orphans Worldwide travels to every orphanage we partner with to ensure needs are legitimate and 100% of funds distributed goes to the livelihood of the children.
This year, we have a goal to help improve the quality of care for these amazing children, and we need your help. Your gift will help provide education, a safe home, health, and adult mentors who can share the Love of Christ. Our promise to you is that 100% will go directly to the home. | <urn:uuid:68d78632-9fd0-44fd-93e9-881fbc6a8b15> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://soworldwide.org/myanmar-hosanna-care-hostel/ | 2020-09-27T13:47:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400279782.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927121105-20200927151105-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.974573 | 493 |

Arthritis Physical and Occupational Therapy (cont.)
In this Article
- What is the goal of physical therapy for people with arthritis?
- What are some benefits of occupational and physical therapy for arthritis?
- What techniques will I learn to treat arthritis pain?
- What therapy is offered for people recovering from joint replacement surgery?
- What joint protection techniques are offered to reduce stress on joints affected by arthritis?
- What are assistive devices? And how will they help me live with arthritis?
What Techniques Will I Learn?
You'll learn several techniques, including:
- Rest. Bed rest helps reduce both joint inflammation and pain, and is especially useful when multiple joints are affected and fatigue is a major problem. Individual joint rest is most helpful when arthritis involves one or only a few joints. Custom splints can be made to rest and support inflamed joints and a soft collar can support the neck while you are sitting or standing.
- Thermal modalities. Applying ice packs or heating pads, as well as deep heat provided by ultrasound and hot packs, can help relieve local pain. Heat also relaxes muscle spasm around inflamed joints. Heating joints and muscles with a warm bath or shower before exercising may help you exercise more easily.
- Exercise. Exercise is an important part of arthritis treatment that is most effective when done properly every day. Your doctor and therapist will prescribe a program for you that may vary as your needs change.
What Therapy Is Offered for People Recovering From Joint Replacement?
Preoperative programs of education and exercise, started before joint replacement surgery, are continued at home. They may be changed in the hospital after surgery to fit new needs during the rehabilitation period. These exercises may be added to your usual exercise regimen, and you may find your ability to exercise has improved after surgery.

Moya Ruiz Cigars – La Jugada Habano (Plus winner of RyJ box announced)
Earlier this year, I had an opportunity to try out the La Jugada Prieto by Moya Ruiz Cigars. I was extremely surprised by how much I enjoyed the cigar. It is actually one of my favorite San Andres Maduro cigars, right behind the Undercrown and Ortega Serie “D”. In my review of the Prieto (See the review here), I mentioned that the Habano version of La Jugada was scheduled to be released at the 2013 IPCPR Trade Show. Danny Moya and Nelson Ruiz held true to their word with the release of the cigar in July.
Like the Prieto, the Habano is produced at La Zona, Erik Espinosa’s factory in Esteli Nicaragua, and is available in the same five vitolas – Robusto (5 by 50), Toro (6 by 52 ), Belicoso ( 6 ⅛ by 52), Double Corona (7 ½ by 49), and Ancho (6 by 60) . La Jugada Habano derives it names from the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper it utilizes in place of the San Andres Maduro on the Prieto. The binder and filler tobaccos remains the same as the Prieto.
Samples Provided by Moya Ruiz Cigars
Price: Around $7.00
Size: 6 ⅛ by 52
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
Smoke Time: 1 Hour and 30 Minutes.
The La Jugada Habano wears a tan colored wrapper that has a light oily sheen. The tan wrapper does nothing to hide the veins that crisscross down the cigar, as well as a fine tooth and several bumps. Do not get me wrong, this is not a bad thing. I love seeing the natural character of a leaf that can be hidden on darker wrappers. The Habano is firmly packed through and through. The aroma off the wrapper is very light, with mainly tobacco and cedar notes, while the foot shows off dried fruit and chocolate.
Clipping across the tapered head, I find a decent draw. Depending on smoke production, I may need to make an additional clip, which is of no worry because I have plenty of play room. My lips have a slight spice sting and the cold draw presents wet earth notes, more dried fruit flavors, and some sweetness.
The initial flavor is of grass which is quickly met with a spice that is warming my mouth. As I smoke deeper into the first third, some toasted bread-like notes, cedar, and sweetness enter the mix. A good amount of heat is felt in my mouth but the profile is not overly peppery. The cigar is producing a satisfying amount of thick, creamy smoke that is medium to full in flavor. So far, I am not feeling any nicotine. The burn-line is solid leaving behind a light gray ash that is holding easily to an inch.
I am absolutely loving the creaminess of the smoke from this La Jugada Habano. As I make my way into the second third, the sweetness develops into a caramel flavor, the spice has toned down, and the bread-like notes are still in the flavor make-up . The flavors are very well balanced at this point and the burn-line is rock solid through the middle third.
The smoke has become somewhat charred tasting so I am slowing my pace to see if it alleviates this flavor and brings back the enjoyable flavors from the first and second third. As I slow my roll, the dried fruit, mainly raisins, I picked up on off the foot aroma is now appearing in the profile and the caramel sweetness is still around but much more faint. This may sound odd but the finish of the smoke reminds me of the after taste of asparagus. A touch-up on one side of the wrapper was required in the final third. At the close of the cigar, I am feeling very little nicotine.
La Jugada Habano is another solid offering from Moya Ruiz Cigars. It never fails to surprise me the impact the wrapper has on the experience. While the internals (binder and filler) remain the same as the Prieto, the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper will take you on a completely different journey than its older brother. The Habano performed very well and delivered a spicy, creamy profile with cedar, caramel, and bread-like notes. The only down fall was the charred flavor in the final third. However, the charred notes were not encountered in the other sample. The strength was at the low end of medium and the flavors were medium/full. I highly recommend that you give this cigar a try if you enjoy a spicy, woodsy, somewhat sweet, bready profile. I am pretty sure you won’t be disappointed and you won’t break the bank either.

Character Overview Edit
In Sondheim's adaptation of the Sweeney Todd myth, Judge Turpin is the character who causes Sweeney Todd to seek his deadly vengeance; he rapes Lucy Barker, Todd's wife, driving her to insanity, and unjustly exiles Todd to Australia. He then holds their daughter, Johanna, as his ward, and keeps her locked-up prisoner in his estate. He is aided in his corruption by his servant and constant companion, Beadle Bamford.
In Sweeney Todd Edit
Judge Turpin is first seen having Benjamin Barker arrested, due to his obvious infatuation with Barker's wife, Lucy. He exiles Barker to Australia on completely false charges. Lucy is terribly heartbroken, and becomes a recluse, never coming down from her home. Judge Turpin continuously pursues her, sending her flowers each day. He sends Beadle to summon her to his home, "[Blaming] himself for her dreadful plight." He drugs Lucy and rapes her, driving her insane.
Turpin then takes Barker's daughter, Johanna, and raises her as his ward. He keeps her locked away from the world and spies on her through a peep-hole in her wall. Turpin eventually falls in love with the beautiful Johanna and offers her his hand in marriage. She refuses, to which he seems baffled. When he spots Anthony Hope "gandering" at Johanna, he has him beaten up and threatens to kill him if he ever returns. We next see Turpin sentencing a child to death for petty crimes.
On Beadle Bamford's advice, he goes for a shave at Sweeney Todd's barber shop, in order to impress Johanna. Sweeney Todd almost cuts his throat when he is interrupted by Anthony, who reveals Johanna's plan to escape. Turpin promptly leaves, renouncing Todd's business. Judge Turpin returns home and finds Johanna gathering her things, in an attempt to run away. He sends her away until she can "appreciate" what she has. Beadle grabs Johanna and takes her in a carriage to Fogg's Asylum.
He receives a letter claiming that Johanna has repented, and only wants his love. Judge Turpin is delighted and following the direction of the letter goes to Todd's shop, where he is persuaded to have a shave. Todd soon reveals his true identity as Benjamin Barker and savagely stabs Turpin in the neck before then slitting his throat and Todd then drops Turpin down the chute. In his death throes, he grabs at Mrs. Lovett's skirt who then screams, alerting Sweeney Todd to the basement.
The United States has announced that a new drama television program is currently in production to give the story of Sweeney Todd a new life from a new point of view. The story will feature each of the existing characters but with the twist of the tale being told from Mrs. Lovett's point of view. FOX 8 believes that the story will be similar to the current show airing in both Australia and America, "The Good Wife" where it portrays a woman in her life behind a powerful known figure in the world.
Production managers have stated that they also would like to rearrange the story a little bit, claiming that what would happen if Mrs. Lovett began to disagree with the actions she and Sweeney were taking. currently no title has been declared but the favored options are "The Pie Woman" and "A Little Priest".
The character of Judge Turpin is just as dark as in the stage play however this adaptation he would have an attraction to Mrs. Lovett.
His feelings for her would show over the series even though he hates her lover, Sweeney Todd and his feelings would act upon his thinking and his hate towards the main antagonists.
Judge Turpin did not appear in the original Sweeney Todd "penny dreadful" tale by Thomas Pecket Prest(?), or in the original Victorian melodrama by George Dibdin Pitt, although there was a heroic magistrate in the original tale named Sir Richard Brown, who ultimately brings Todd down, and in the play there was a sleazy minister named Dr. Lupin and a hanging judge named Sir William Brandon, both of whom no doubt inspired the character of Judge Turpin by the time the musical came along.
- Edmund Lyndeck played the original Judge Turpin.
- Alan Rickman played the role in the 2007 film. | <urn:uuid:87b23431-fa54-4a5b-8ae6-8a6a455bd7e5> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://sweeneytodd.wikia.com/wiki/Judge_Turpin | 2016-08-27T06:18:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982298551.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823195818-00042-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979307 | 906 |

Worth Fighting For
CCJ takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously. There are ongoing initiatives for water conservation, energy saving and waste recycling to reduce the club’s environmental footprint. There are safeguards in place to minimise our potential of polluting the natural environment. We monitor the latest environmental legislation and ensure the Club is legally compliant.
However, one of our key objectives is to enhance biodiversity through the protection of indigenous flora and fauna on Club property. The outcome is environmental havens at both Auckland Park and Woodmead which can be enjoyed by members and their families for generations to come.
Sponsor a Living Gift
For as little as R250
CCJ is committed to planting indigenous trees at both Clubs. Invasives such as Euclaypt and Black Wattle are continually being removed which then creates space for the planting of indigenous trees.
Whilst the Club funds a great deal of this, we invite members to sponsor a tree as part of our indigenisation program or make the sponsorship a living gift.
- You sign up at reception to sponsor a tree/s. You choose a straight sponsorship (R250ea) or a gift sponsorship (R500ea)
- If it’s a living gift sponsorship, state who or what the tree gift is for: A new baby, a birthday, a wedding, or any other special occasion.
- The Club will provide you with a certificate after the planting is completed. The certificate will contain the following information: The name of the recipient, the name of the sponsor, the year, the type of tree and the location of the tree (GPS co-ordinates will be provided if possible).

The Woodmead property is home to our two superb golf courses and a vast array of wildlife. The natural resources have been blended to create a harmonious balance between nature and the urban development surrounding the estate.
Auckland Park Gardens
You may have heard of the majestic gardens at Auckland Park. You may even have stood on the club’s patio and admired them from afar. But to truly appreciate them, you need to take a walk. | <urn:uuid:29a28d8e-4855-4ea9-bde5-373e02d52698> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://thecountryclub.co.za/environment-3/ | 2020-01-17T14:45:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250589560.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200117123339-20200117151339-00239.warc.gz | en | 0.922138 | 452 |

Halloween is one of the best times of year for kids because: candy. However, it can be a little scary for younger children to see all those very realistic zombies, witches, and vampires. Help keep the holiday fun for your preschooler by hosting a not-so-scary Halloween party instead before or after trick-or-treating.
Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Music
Need a playlist for your party? Search Spotify or Pandora using terms like “Halloween Kids” or “Family Halloween” – if you just type “Halloween,” you’ll get some creepy stuff! Here are some favorites for preschoolers:
- The Elmo Says Boo! Album from Sesame Street has classics like “The Monster Mash” and fun original offerings like, “Be Kind to Your Neighborhood Monsters” and “Loveable Monsters of Sesame Street.” This album reminds us that monsters can be cuddly.
- Mickey’s Monster Bash and the Wee Sing for Halloween albums also have lots of non-scary, sing-a-long Halloween songs and are available on iTunes. Help the kids make up hand movements or a dance to a few songs for added silliness – then perform for the parents!
Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Movies
Want to have movie time at your party? You can skip the horror section for this group:
- Check out a classic like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
- Try something newer like, Pooh’s Heffalump Halloween Movie, Monsters, Inc., or Eloise’s Rawther Unusual Halloween.
- Little Bitties will enjoy Barney: Halloween Party (though their attendant adults may not).
- An option you may not know about – if you can find it – is Halloween is Grinch Night, a Halloween-themed prequel to the Grinch stealing, and then returning, Christmas.
Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Activities
Many traditional Halloween activities like touching squishy “eyeballs” (i.e., peeled grapes) and touring haunted houses are too scary for little kids, but DIY games like Pumpkin Bowling, Pin the Tail on the Black Cat, and Witch’s Hat Ring Toss are fun alternatives.
Young children also love messy crafts so consider painting small pumpkins, decorating treat bags, or creating Halloween scenes on construction paper with stick-on foam. Just be sure you have some smocks on hand to cover up those costumes!
For an almost-spooky feel, find glow-in-the dark paint and stickers for your crafting. If you run out of activities but still have time left, consider a candy swap! Let kids trade what they collected during trick-or-treating for items they really want so everyone goes home with some favorites. Just be sure to collect the “suspicious-looking” pieces for a personal taste test. Note: I always find the Reese’s cups to look pretty suspicious.

Harry Reid poisons another well by releasing normally-private communications between his office and Boehner’s staff.
Is there any well of cooperation on Capitol Hill Harry Reid will not poison?
His verbiage, and that of his colleagues, is vituperative to the point of eliminationist.
Now he’s leaking communications between his staff and John Boehner’s staff, in a move Roll Call called taboo:
Updated 11:30 a.m. | Senate Democrats are considering leaking a series of emails between the chiefs of staff of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker John A. Boehner regarding employer contributions to congressional staff health care plans, multiple top-level sources said late Monday.
Senate Democratic chiefs of staff discussed the emails between Reid chief David Krone and Boehner chief Mike Sommers at a recent meeting, according to a source with direct knowledge of the meeting.
Leaking the emails would be unusual, given the taboo over disclosing personal communications between top staffers. But the missives also would reveal Boehner’s position on employer subsidies for congressional staff.
The emails were provided to Politico. Roll Call summed up the contents as being no big deal:
Updated 11:30 a.m.
Reid’s office decided Tuesday morning to release the documents to POLITICO.
The emails, which were not provided to CQ Roll Call, apparently reveal that Boehner’s staff and Reid’s staff participated in routine coordination between two leaders of Congress to avoid having congressional staff lose their health care benefits.
“During a five-month period stretching from February to July, Boehner and his aides sought along with Reid’s office to solve what had become a big headache for both of them,” POLITICO writes. “They drafted and reviewed a possible legislative fix, as well as continued to push for an administrative one from the Office of Personnel Management.”
It bears repeating again that the original intent of the provision that is causing leaders so much trouble was merely to force Congressional staff on to Obamacare exchanges, not to have those employees get no employer contribution toward their care.
Nice job, Harry. You poisoned another well, and achieved nothing.
At some point, Barack Obama needs to wonder why he is staking his presidency on Harry Reid’s ability to be nasty. | <urn:uuid:de58cf09-0e17-4a91-bf93-b1c7ed085691> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/10/at-some-point-obama-needs-reconsider-hitching-his-presidency-to-harry-reids-fist/ | 2016-10-23T14:17:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719273.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00238-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970006 | 474 |

The International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem (ICEJ) , whose core mission is to tell the world that jesus is coming back and to spread that word from Jerusalem, has launched a widely publicized online/email campaign to comfort and support the bereaved families of the Har Nof massacre.
"This very weekend, the ICEJ is sponsoring a 'Shabbat retreat' for the 24 children who lost their fathers in that attack. They will stay in guest houses in the Galilee and receive special counseling from experts trained to deal with terror victims. They will also be offered therapeutic activities as well as Bible lessons before re-joining their families early next week."
ICEJ states that they are "determined to be a source of comfort and healing" for the traumatized families. The Jewish communities in Israel and throughout the Diaspora should know that ICEJ is equally determined to bring the "good news" of jesus to the Jews.
For example, just last month, Jewish IDF soldiers were commanded to march on stage before a Christian crowd at ICEJ's Feast of the Tabernacles, and were subjected to a public sermon, given by missionary Robert Stearns, about the Jewishness of Jesus. They were told by ICEJ's David Parsons that the prayers from churches and saints were behind them.
In addition, the Jewish community should know that ICEJ actively promotes the messianic missionary community in Israel.
It goes without saying that any well-intentioned Jewish activists who are coordinating activities and fundraising efforts with the ICEJ should be aware that such efforts empower Christian outreach to Jews in Israel. | <urn:uuid:899153aa-376e-4ce6-a003-001a4ebfc2a9> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://jewishisrael.ning.com/profiles/blogs/community-alert-icej-harnof-retreat | 2017-04-30T22:26:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917125881.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031205-00051-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97369 | 328 |
NOVEMBER 3, 2007
This is down time for Lewis Hamilton, although he is keeping busy with sponsor work and other events. On Saturday he was in Stuttgart for the annual Stars & Cars event, a celebration of the Mercedes-Benz racing programme in the last 12 months, similar to an event held last week at Mugello by Ferrari.
Hamilton is relaxed.
"I feel fantastic," he says. "I am having time to catch up on my life, my friends, my family. Be myself. Do some normal things."
But being Lewis Hamilton is not an easy life, particularly in England where he has become a national hero. So what can he do to relax?
"I can lock myself in my parents house," he says. "That is fine but you do need to get out. I have tried to spend time in the UK but it has not been easy. I have been going out with my hat pulled down or wearing a hood to keep the profile low, but you jsut cannot have a normal life. You just cannot get used to it. If you are in traffic there will be a bus with a picture of you on the side or everyone will be waving at you. Someone comes to the window and knocks. You don't know what to do. Do you say yes to everyone?"
"But it was a sacrifice I was willing to make. And it has been well worth it."
Hamilton is moving to Switzerland soon but has yet to find a house. For the next few months he has a lot of commitments with the team and then he reckons he will spend some time in the Caribbean. After that it will be a quieter life in Switzerland.
"I always wanted to explore different places," he says. "You never get to stay in one place for long in racing but it will be good. It is a nice place and still close to the UK. Close to the team."
Hamilton says that he has not thought about the appeal and, indeed, does not even know the date of the hearing.
"I am going to win the World Championship one day," he says. "I didn't win it this year. We did a great job. Ferrari did a great job as well."
But that does not mean that Hamilton is against the appeal.
"There are rules and you stick to the rules," he says. "It is not my problem if someone has not stuck to the rules. I feel we have done the right thing. It would be strange to win the World Championship this way. I don't know what I would do. It wouldn't make a huge difference."
The big question now is who Hamilton will have as a team-mate next year. He says he doesn't care as long as the driver is "a team player".
"It is interesting to see who is my team mate," he said. "I am excited. I have no idea. I think maybe it will be Nico Rosberg, Adrian Sutil or Heikki Kovalainen. One of those three, although I hear they are all under contract. They are all fantastic drivers."
"I wish him all the best next season."
Hamilton says that the pressures off the track did not get to him at all.
"I had good people around me," he says. "My family was there all the time. It was easy to stick to what I was doing and concentrate on the job."
Twelve months ago Hamilton attended the same event, as the GP2 champion.
"It is strange," he says. "The first time I came here for Stars & Cards was in 1997 as a young kid. Then I was here last year as GP2 champion No-one knew who I was. Now I am a fully-fledged F1 driver. I am very fortunate. I am blessed to have been given the opportunity and I haven't wasted it. I am proud of what I have done and proud to be part of the team. If you had said a year ago that I would be number two in the world in my first year I would have said: 'You're crazy'. It is just a dream. It is impossible to get used to it."

but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands. Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty,and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy,let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it: and it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in
great distress. And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
Now those that sealed were, Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah, Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah, Pashur, Amariah, Malchijah, Hattush, Shebaniah, Malluch, Harim, Meremoth, Obadiah, Daniel, Ginnethon, Baruch, Meshullam, Abijah, Mijamin, Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah: these were the priests.
And the Levites: both Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel; and their brethren, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Kelita,Pelaiah, Hanan, Micha, Rehob, Hashabiah, Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Bani, Beninu.
The chief of the people; Parosh, Pahath-moab, Elam, Zatthu, Bani, Bunni, Azgad, Bebai, Adonijah, Bigvai, Adin, Ater, Hizkijah, Azzur, Hodijah, Hashum, Bezai,Hariph, Anathoth,Nebai, Magpiash,Meshullam, Hezir, Meshezabeel, Zadok, Jaddua, Pela

And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites,
the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding; they clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes; and that we would notgiveour daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons: and if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh
year, and the exaction of every debt. Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the
part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God; for the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts,
and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. And we cast the lots
among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law: and to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the Lord: also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God: and that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough,andour offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage. And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house. For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto thechambers, where
are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.
And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities. And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in „Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt everyone in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants. And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah; Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez; and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni. All the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred threescore and eight valiant men.

The St. Catharine College Women’s Soccer team dropped a 2-0 decision to the Georgetown Tigers in a Mid South Conference matchup yesterday at Nelson County High School.
The Tigers scored once in each half to claim the victory. The Patriots had a several chances to score, with the best being a free kick late in the game that Morgan Ludwig passed to Caitlin Campbell. Campbell then slotted the ball into the Tiger box for Emily Caras. Caras' shot missed just over the bar. St. Catharine took six shots with only two on goal while Georgetown managed twelve shots with six on goal.
The Lady Patriots will be back in action on Tuesday when the Patriots travel to Campbellsville University. The game will start at 6:00 pm EDT and will be followed by a men’s game at 8:00 pm. | <urn:uuid:9fbcdb7f-87ac-4653-a3c1-886326572ae0> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://goscpatriots.com/articlehome.asp?articleID=849 | 2018-09-24T05:23:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267160145.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20180924050917-20180924071317-00520.warc.gz | en | 0.937376 | 172 |
The new update is available from the App Store for download now! It will fix the syncing problem that CWA caused for all the flight attendants.
I apologize that it took me 4 days to fix it and make the update available. Thank you so much for hanging in there and for your patience! Hopefully next time they will give me notice before they change something that drastic!
You need to download the update first. Go to the App Store and tap Updates at the bottom right. You should see CrewBuddy listed, then tap Update.
As of Thursday, August 30, 2015 at 2:47 pm, still not syncing.
It's taking substantially more coding to accommodate the changes in CWA. I'm working as fast as I can to get it back up and running for you guys. Hang in there. I'll have it fixed soon.
We found the source of the problem. SWA recently upgraded CWA and introduced a bug. Basically, CWA is not logging out correctly. It seems to be affecting only flight attendants. They are doing another upgrade tonight. So, we are hopeful that they will fix it soon!!
I'm sorry it's not working right. SWA did an update to CWA last night and it's been intermittent this morning. The issue with CWA seems to be transient, so in most cases, just try again. In the past when they update CWA, it takes a about a day for their servers to stabilize. | <urn:uuid:842720c4-3d2b-47aa-9933-c0fddbe93527> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://wapitisoftware.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/5000059186?sort=date | 2020-08-08T09:11:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737319.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808080642-20200808110642-00319.warc.gz | en | 0.960661 | 301 |
A military response to global terrorism raises challenges to the existing moral and legal framework for conduct of war. Indeed, some might argue that the so-called war on terror requires adopting an altogether new framework for thinking about the conduct of war. The older framework, anchored in the 1949 Geneva Conventions, presupposes an antiquated model of war as a conflict between sovereign states, so the argument would go, and this traditional paradigm is irrelevant to the current challenge of fighting terrorist groups, which do not represent sovereign states, but which are nevertheless capable of armed attacks with a global reach. Such an argument would, however, exaggerate the case. Although the phenomenon of global terrorism does present new challenges to the ethics of war, these challenges can be handled by developing core just war principles and refining their application. In an effort to demonstrate this, at least in part, I will focus on the apparent challenge to the rule of distinction posed by the phenomenon of global terrorism.
One significant set of ethical challenges raised by the fight against global terrorism can be considered a species of the general challenge posed to the rule of distinction by the phenomenon of irregular warfare. Irregular combatants are persons participating in hostilities without belonging to a regular armed force. Usually they fail to identify themselves clearly as combatants. The rule of distinction requires, however, that military forces distinguish between combatants and noncombatants. According to article 48 of Additional Protocol I to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, “the Parties to the conflict shall at all times distinguish between the civilian population and combatants and between civilian objects and military objectives and accordingly shall direct their operations only against military objectives.”1 Irregular combatants, by virtue of the fact that they participate in hostilities, make themselves legitimate objects of attack. When irregulars do not identify themselves as combatants, however, those fighting against them have trouble distinguishing combatants from civilians. The dynamics of irregular warfare thus tend toward undermining the rule of distinction.
Any attempt to bring distinction to bear on irregular warfare must therefore address at least two sets of questions. The first set of questions concerns targeting. What sort of conduct by civilians converts them into irregular combatants, thereby rendering them legitimate objects of attack? The second set of questions concerns legal status. Do irregulars participate in hostilities lawfully, and therefore enjoy the protections afforded lawful combatants by the laws of war (e.g., POW status if captured)? Or do irregulars participate in hostilities unlawfully, and are therefore guilty of criminal acts? These two sets of questions intersect at various points. Sorting through them will be easier if we consider the question of legal status first.
Some of the debates surrounding the problem of global terrorism (e.g., arguments about the proper legal status and treatment of suspected terrorists when captured) are tied up with the issue of “lawful” and “unlawful” combatancy. All combatants are legitimate objects of attack, but different kinds of combatants are afforded different kinds of protections by the laws of war. Lawful combatants are those who participate in hostilities legitimately, while unlawful combatants participate in hostilities illegitimately. The lawful combatant enjoys what is called the “combatant’s privilege.”2 He has the right to participate in hostilities and therefore the right to kill. That right does not extend to everyone. A lawful combatant is permitted to do things a civilian without combatant’s privilege may not. Thus the combatant’s privilege also entails the protections afforded captured soldiers by the Third Geneva Convention (in particular, POW status). Captured soldiers are not treated as criminals. By contrast civilians who commit acts of war without the combatant’s privilege are not entitled to POW protection. Indeed, their participation in acts of war is criminal.3
The proper way to determine the legal status of combatants in an armed conflict has been a matter of debate over the years. According to the international law of armed conflict as I understand it, the legal status of combatants can depend to a great extent on the status of the armed conflict. International law recognizes two different types of armed conflicts: (1) international conflicts between states, and (2) non-international conflicts between a state and a non-state actor, usually an internal, domestic party such as an insurgency. The distinction between these two types of conflict rests on the 1949 Geneva Conventions, specifically on the so-called common articles. Common article 2 reads, “the present Convention shall apply to all cases of declared war or of any other armed conflict which may arise between two or more of the High Contracting Parties, even if the state of war is not recognized between them.”4 In other words, a common article 2 conflict is one where two or more states are engaged in armed conflict. All four Geneva Conventions apply in article 2 conflicts. This situation contrasts with article 3 conflicts. Common article 3 enunciates a set of provisions that apply “in the case of armed conflict not of an international character occurring in the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties.”5 In other words, an article 3 conflict is between a state and an organized armed group within its own territory. In this case, the rest of the Geneva Conventions do not apply. Only article 3 applies in article 3 conflicts.
In article 2 conflicts there is a clear path by which irregular combatants can acquire legitimacy. The Third Geneva Convention identifies the categories of persons who, if captured by the enemy, are entitled to POW protections. If a soldier is entitled to POW protections, then essentially he enjoys the benefits that come with lawful combatancy and the combatant’s privilege. Article 4.A.2 of the Third Geneva Convention lists four conditions irregulars must meet to qualify for POW status:
(1) that of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates; (2) that of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance; (3) that of carrying arms openly; (4) that of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.6
These conditions apply, however, only in article 2 conflicts — not article 3 conflicts — and one might reasonably ask whether they were developed with the example of World War II era partisans in mind. Today one rarely, if ever, encounters irregular combatants in the context of article 2 conflicts. Irregulars are generally insurgents or terrorists not affiliated with a state party to a conflict. Most insurgency warfare occurs within the context of article 3 conflicts. Based on the 1949 Geneva Conventions, irregular combatants fighting in article 3 conflicts are not entitled to POW status under most conditions; they do not enjoy the combatant’s privilege, and they are not lawful combatants.
The matter is complicated, however, by the fact that the laws of war are not comprised solely of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Of particular relevance here is the 1977 Additional Protocol I to the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Although 175 states are party to this Protocol, the United States is not, because the United States objects to a number of the Protocol’s controversial provisions. First, article 1.4 of the Protocol seeks to apply the provisions of all four Geneva Conventions to article 3 conflicts in which “peoples are fighting against colonial domination and alien occupation and against racist regimes in the exercise of their right of self-determination.”7 In other words, article 1.4 applies the Geneva Conventions in their entirety not only to international conflicts, but also to non-international conflicts where insurgents profess to be fighting against colonialism, foreign occupation, and racism. This accords to irregular combatants a level of legitimacy not accorded by the Geneva Conventions themselves. Second, article 44.3 of Additional Protocol I significantly modifies the conditions irregulars must meet to qualify for POW status. This entails a modification of the terms of lawful combatancy. Instead of requiring irregulars to wear “a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance,” article 44.3 requires only that irregulars “distinguish themselves from the civilian population while they are engaged in an attack or in a military operation preparatory to an attack.” Additionally, article 44.3, rather than requiring insurgents to carry their arms openly, requires only that they carry their arms “openly during military engagement.” Finally, article 44.4 stipulates that “A combatant who falls into the power of an adverse Party while failing to meet the requirements set forth [for irregulars] shall forfeit his right to be a prisoner of war, but he shall, nevertheless, be given protections equivalent in all respects to those accorded to prisoners of war by the Third Convention and by this Protocol.”8
Although the United States initially signed Additional Protocol I, it has never ratified the treaty. President Ronald Reagan explained his decision not to forward the treaty to the Senate for ratification as follows:
Protocol I is fundamentally and irreconcilably flawed. It contains provisions that would undermine humanitarian law and endanger civilians in war. One of its provisions, for example, would automatically treat as an international conflict any so-called “war of national liberation.” Whether such wars are international or non-international should turn exclusively on objective reality, not on one’s view of the moral qualities of each conflict. To rest on such subjective distinctions based on a war’s alleged purposes would politicize humanitarian law and eliminate the distinction between international and non-international conflicts…. Another provision would grant combatant status to irregular forces even if they do not satisfy the traditional requirements to distinguish themselves from the civilian population and otherwise comply with the laws of war. This would endanger civilians among whom terrorists and other irregulars attempt to conceal themselves. These problems are so fundamental in character that they cannot be remedied through reservations, and I therefore have decided not to submit the Protocol to the Senate in any form.9
Given the broad international support that has developed for Additional Protocol I over the years, President Reagan’s judgment that the treaty was “fundamentally flawed” appears mistaken; however, the specific objections he raised to the legal innovations developed in article 1 and article 44 of the Protocol impress this author as sound. By loosening the requirement on irregular combatants to fight in the same manner required of regular combatants, the innovations in Protocol I serve to undermine the rule of distinction. Under this legal regimen — one not accepted by the United States — irregulars can enjoy all the protections that come with the combatant’s privilege by temporarily choosing to participate in hostilities, and at the same time enjoy all the protections afforded civilians by temporarily choosing not to participate in hostilities. Such a legal regimen can be easily abused. Irregulars with such protections have no incentive to distinguish themselves from civilians; yet, unless soldiers and civilians can be distinguished, the rule of distinction is meaningless.
Those concerned with the ethics of war, both just war theorists and international lawyers, have a responsibility to develop a theoretical approach to insurgency warfare and to the phenomenon of global terrorism that preserves the principle of distinction. In fact, the last few years have witnessed steps in that direction. The American legal scholar Gary Solis has argued, for example, that a report on the concept of “direct participation in hostilities” adopted by the International Committee of the Red Cross in 2009 offers guidance for moving beyond some of legal disputes surrounding Additional Protocol I.10 Although the ICRC report does not address questions about the legal status of irregulars, it does contribute to our thinking about the proper way to distinguish between combatants and noncombatants. In this respect, the report helps to clarify, refine, and reinforce the rule of distinction in relation to irregular combatancy.
The concept of “direct participation in hostilities” appears in Additional Protocol I, article 51.3, according to which: “Civilians shall enjoy the protection afforded by [the Additional Protocol], unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities.”11 The concept thus applies to civilians and indicates the conditions under which civilians surrender their immunity from direct attack; namely, when they participate directly in hostilities. The conceptual challenge has been to define what “direct participation in hostilities” means. The 2009 ICRC report identifies three constitutive elements of direct participation in hostilities. First, “the act must be likely to adversely affect the military operations or military capacity of a party to an armed conflict.” The report refers to this as a “threshold of harm” criterion. Second, “there must be a direct causal link between the act and the harm likely to result” from the act. The report refers to this criterion as “direct causation.” Third, “the act must be specifically designed to directly cause the required threshold of harm in support of a party to the conflict.”12 The report refers to this as a “belligerent nexus.” Although much more could be said about each of these criteria, the crucial point is that they offer guidance for distinguishing between the kind of participation in hostilities which causes civilians to forfeit their immunity from direct attack and the kind of general civilian support for a party to the conflict that does not entail losing civilian protections. Local civilians may offer support and assistance to insurgents with whom they sympathize. That kind of support does not make them legitimate objects of direct attack. Only when civilians participate in acts directly intended to cause the required threshold of harm within a belligerent nexus do they forfeit their noncombatant immunity and become legitimate objects of attack.
Importantly, the ICRC guidelines do not focus on the legal status of irregulars, but rather on the kind of activity that causes civilians to become legitimate objects of attack. Because the ICRC report offers functional criteria of combatancy, it might appear to be continuing the expansive legal protection of irregulars laid out in Additional Protocol I, article 44. Indeed, the ICRC report makes clear that the “notion of direct participation in hostilities refers to specific acts carried out by individuals as part of the conduct of hostilities between parties to an armed conflict.”13 This implies that civilians, and hence irregulars, lose their immunity from attack for only so long as they directly participate in hostilities. Once they cease direct participation in hostilities, they regain their civilian protections. Of course, they can still be tried for acts of war committed as unlawful combatants if they participated in hostilities without enjoying combatant’s privilege. So understood, the ICRC guidelines might appear to reiterate the problems identified by President Reagan at the time he rejected Additional Protocol I. Fortunately, the ICRC guidelines help to move us beyond President Reagan’s objections by introducing a new concept to clarify further the notion of direct participation in hostilities. This is the concept of “continuous combat function.”
In non-international article 3 conflicts, certain individuals may assume a “continuous combat function” by virtue of their integration into the “organized armed group” of a non-state actor. Such individuals become legitimate objects of attack in a way analogous to members of the armed forces of a State party to a conflict. As the ICRC report explains:
Civilians lose protection against direct attack for the duration of each specific act amounting to direct participation in hostilities, whereas members of organized armed groups belonging to a non-State party to an armed conflict cease to be civilians … and lose protection against direct attack, for as long as they assume their continuous combat function.14
Continuous combat function is the criterion of membership in what the ICRC report calls an organized armed group. Organized armed groups represent the armed forces of non-State parties. By identifying organized armed groups, the ICRC report is attempting to apply the principle of distinction to non-international conflicts. According to the report:
It is crucial for the protection of the civilian population to distinguish a non-State party to a conflict (e.g., an insurgency, a rebellion, or a secessionist movement) from its armed forces (i.e., an organized armed group). As with State parties to armed conflicts, non-State parties comprise both fighting forces and supportive segments of the civilian population, such as political and humanitarian wings. The term organized armed group, however, refers exclusively to the armed or military wing of a non-State party: its armed forces in a functional sense. This distinction has important consequences for the determination of membership in an organized armed group as opposed to other forms of affiliation with, or support for, a non-State party to the conflict.15
Not every civilian who sympathizes with or supports a non-state party to a conflict is a legitimate object of attack. Only those persons who participate directly in particular hostile acts or who assume membership in the organized armed group of a non-state party fall into this category. The criterion of membership in an organized armed group is “whether a person assumes a continuous function for the group involving his or her direct participation in hostilities.”16 Nevertheless, continuous combat function is distinct from direct participation in hostilities. As the report states: “Individuals whose continuous function involves the preparation, execution, or command of acts or operations amounting to direct participation in hostilities are assuming a continuous combat function. An individual recruited, trained and equipped by such a group to continuously and directly participate in hostilities on its behalf can be considered to assume a continuous combat function even before he or she first carries out a hostile act.”17
This concept of continuous combat function has clear implications for the way we consider military responses to global terrorism. Under the Obama Administration, for example, the United States has developed a focused strategy of targeted killing of al Qaida members, and that policy has sometimes been the object of moral criticism. The analysis in this paper suggests that the policy of targeted killing cannot be criticized on grounds that it violates the rule of distinction. Al Qaida is an organized armed group engaged in an article 3 conflict against the United States. Active and integrated members of al Qaida have a continuous combat function by virtue of which they are legitimate objects of military attack, even when they are not directly engaged in a hostile act. The intentional and targeted killing of al Qaida members is therefore inherently compatible with the laws of war. This is not to suggest there are never reasons to object to a particular case of targeted killing. Perhaps a particular attack will cause disproportionate collateral damage; perhaps some targeted individuals do not in fact possess a continuous combat function; perhaps the particular drone missile will be fired by a person who does not belong to the regular armed forces of the United States; perhaps the attack does not take into account adequately the sovereignty of a particular state, and so on. These sorts of objections, however, are to particular instances of targeted killing, rather than objections to the policy of targeting killing itself. Nothing about that policy appears inherently incompatible with the laws of war. Attending carefully and thoughtfully to the laws of war is something that not only proponents, but also critics of the so-called “war on terror” ought to do.

I had a good run.
I spent the first month of shelter-in-place successfully balancing home and work priorities, carving out time to create videos and resources for parents and my Thriving School Psychologist community while homeschooling my young daughters.
I followed my own mantra that “connection is protection” and did my best to stay connected–to my family, to my students and families I serve, and my Thriving School Psychologist Members. My focus was on how to support my own kids and help school psychs in my course and community figure out ways to support all the kids they serve.
For a long time, I was secretly enjoying shelter in place!
I saw it as a gift of family time with my husband and young daughters. Plus I got to connect and collaborate with my members of The Thriving School Psychologist Collective, which really lights me up. I was full of creative energy. I started writing a new book. I even did yoga every day.
You guys, I was juggling homeschool and my new work life at home like a BOSS.
And then everyone in my household hit a wall on the same day.
The novelty of getting to use screens for distance learning in our screen-free house wore off. Little things were setting off my kids. My youngest, who is usually Li’l Miss Sunshine, suddenly hated word blending. My eldest, who is usually super persistent, was frustrated with her math and shut down.
Both my husband and I were both unsuccessfully jockeying for time to do our work remotely AND support our daughters’ distance learning.
Then I attended a Zoom memorial service and the grief floodgates opened up.
The grief of the loss of a friend, the loss of my mother a year ago, and then all the grief from all the cancellations—my daughter’s 6th birthday, my only nephew’s graduations, my trips to DC and St. Louis to present for school psychologists, my daughters’ first sleep away Girl Scout camp, and all my assessments with my students—finally caught up with me.
Oh, and then to top it off, later that day, I hit a car in the parking lot at the grocery store. Gahhhhhhhh.
And I spent the entire rest of the day in bed, feeling defeated.
Anyone else been there???
And then I asked myself, as I often do, “What would I tell a best friend to do if she were feeling how I was feeling?”
I would have told her to get some fresh air and take it easy on herself.
I would remind her that main job right now is to stay connected, and provide safety, belonging, and acceptance for her kids, which is secondary to teaching them about isosceles triangles and sound blending.
The next day, I went on a walk with my family in the hills behind my house and it was just what I needed.
Seeing my girls and dogs frolicking in the hills, Sound of Music style, was uplifting. Being in nature and seeing all butterflies and birds I’d never noticed before turned it all around.
At one point, my youngest said, “Mama, look at the grass, it’s dancing like waves, let’s stop and look at it!” And we did. For kind of a long time. And I thought about what I needed to do to reduce my stress and feel that mindfulness and gratitude that comes so naturally to a 6 year old.
I came home and wrote about it.
I wrote out three biggest pieces of advice for parents that I needed to remember for myself.
And I shared it with the amazing folks at the Greater Good Science Center. The result is this piece I wrote, for myself, for every parent who is struggling, for all the kids, families, teachers, and school psychologists grieving right now and trying to hold it all together.
I hope it provides you and the families you serve some comfort and some practical tools for making the most of this challenging time.

This is an interesting observation and I am trying to make sense of it. In a very simplistic sense, sensors are basically photon counters and count up until they can’t count any higher. ISO affects this only in the sense that, since the photon count is multiplied, the dynamic range is reduced–the maximum possible photon count is reduced by half for each ISO step up.
Given this, the goal might be to ensure that the brightest spot in a scene does not exceed the maximum photon count supported by the sensor at a given ISO. It’s interesting to hear that this exposure could be calculated as between 1⅔ and 2 stops above the exposure selected by spot-metering the brightest spot.
I tried to derive this number. Let’s say I have a white, evenly lit surface, meter it and take a photo based on the reading. I then read the pixel value of the unadjusted image–what is the pixel’s luminance value? I see some web says saying that meters assume they meter an 18% gray surface and then provide an exposure so that the result is 18% gray. So, in an 8-bit image generated from the unadjusted RAW file of my white surface, I would expect to see an RGB value of around (46, 46, 46).
Raising this by 2 stops gives me about (184, 184, 184). It looks like one could go another 1/3 stop above this.
If a meter reproduces 18% gray as 18% gray and if my camera uses a 12-bit sensor, then 10 stops below 18% gray will yield 0, which is the end of the line. This would not be true for a 14-bit sensor, of course, as it could go 12 stops down. As another corollary, every ISO step reduces the dynamic range in half, which is the equivalent to dropping a bit. So, if base sensitivity is ISO 100 with a 12-bit sensor, then ISO 200 would support only 9 stops of underexposure, ISO 400 would support 8 and so on.
I never really spent much time thinking about what the meter is actually doing. Of course, if one has an EVF, one could just look at the histogram to avoid losing of highlights.

On Thursday Sophie Howard, 13, was sadly killed in an accident. http://www.huntspost.co.uk:80/news/latest-news/tributes_pour_in_for_sawtry_schoolgirl_1_950513
The story of her death was picked up on by several papers, giving her sad death a political slant, to the offence of many, including myself, causing an online backlash against the story.
According to her parents' quote in the local news report, Sophie ran Race For Life & I just thought it would be a more positive use of our collective energies on Twitter to have a collection in her name for Cancer Research UK, rather than her memory to be used as part of a mud-slinging match from all sides.

We've made it. With the All-Star break just days away, we are officially past the midpoint of the 2013 season. Below you will find some options to bolster your team going into the break and others who should provide value during the second half. But before we get to that, I'm going to unveil my Waiver Wired MVP and Cy Young Award winners for the first half.
MVP - Jean Segura SS, Brewers
Mentioned in the second edition of Waiver Wired this season, Segura has proven to be one of the most valuable position players in fantasy leagues so far. Through 88 games, the 23-year-old shortstop is batting .319/.355/.485 with 11 home runs, 36 RBI, 27 stolen bases, and 50 runs scored. That's a legitimate five-category stud. Segura has inevitably faded since the end of May, hitting .263 with just five walks over his last 170 plate appearances, but he's still doing enough in counting stats to be one of the top fantasy shortstops out there. I have him on a tier below the likes of Troy Tulowitzki, Hanley Ramirez, and Jose Reyes, but that's still a pretty good place to be.
Cy Young - Patrick Corbin SP, Diamondbacks
I didn't recommend Corbin until the fourth Waiver Wired of the season, but that's mostly because I didn't want to overreact to a small sample size. Well, we're now halfway through the season and the 24-year-old southpaw ranks fifth in the majors with a 2.40 ERA and is tied for fourth in the National League with 10 wins. That's good enough for him to be sixth among pitchers on Yahoo's player rater. As good as Corbin has been during the first half, his strikeout rate (7.20 K/9) is barely above the league average for starters and he has also benefited from a .238 BABIP (batting average on balls in play). I still think he'll be valuable in mixed leagues the rest of the way, but don't be surprised to see some regression as we move along here.

Logan Morrison 1B/OF, Marlins (Yahoo: 20 percent owned)
Morrison has been very productive for the Marlins since returning from knee surgery, batting .304/.382/.557 with four home runs and nine RBI in 22 games. This includes an 11/9 K/BB ratio. He had an underwhelming .230/.308/.399 batting line in 93 games last season, so I understand the hesitation on the part of some fantasy owners, but there's reason to believe that the long-awaited breakout could be coming if his nagging knee issues are truly behind him. While it feels like Morrison has been around forever, he's still just 25 years old. There isn't a ton of help around him in the Marlins' lineup, but I think he can be useful in most formats the rest of the way.
Jedd Gyorko 2B/3B, Padres (Yahoo: 44 percent owned)
Gyorko appeared primed to rejoin the Padres two weeks ago, but he ended up being shut down again after he suffered a setback with his groin during a rehab stint. The Padres have been extra cautious with him since, but he was able to restart his rehab assignment on Wednesday night and could be activated as soon as this weekend. The 24-year-old was really hitting his stride offensively prior to the injury, so hopefully he's ready to pick up from where he left off during the second half. With his multi-position eligibility, he should be owned in all formats.
Evan Gattis C/OF, Braves (Yahoo: 42 percent owned)
Gattis has been sidelined since June 17 due to an oblique strain, but he took batting practice for the first time Wednesday and should head out on a minor league rehab assignment soon. If all goes according to plan, the 26-year-old slugger should be activated right after the All-Star break. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez is going to have to pick his spots for Gattis, but there's no question that he can provide value in fantasy leagues. Even after three weeks away, he's currently tied for second among catcher-eligible players with 14 home runs and is also tied for 12th with 37 RBI. Grab him if he's still out there in two-catcher leagues.
Brandon Beachy SP, Braves (Yahoo: 37 percent owned)
Beachy's return from Tommy John surgery hit a temporary snag last month due to some inflammation in his elbow, but he resumed a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday, allowing two runs over three innings in a start with Triple-A Gwinnett. The 26-year-old right-hander figures to need at least two more starts in order to get stretched out again, but he could be an option for the Braves' rotation shortly after the All-Star break. It's unclear how they'll find room for him there, but don't worry about that right now. Remember, Beachy owns a 3.07 ERA in 41 career starts. Keep him stashed.
Marlon Byrd OF, Mets (Yahoo: 11 percent owned)
The Mets weren't quite sure what they would get from Byrd after a lost season in which he served a 50-game PED suspension, but he has surprisingly been the team's best hitter outside of David Wright, batting .268 with 15 home runs, 49 RBI, and an .818 OPS through 76 games. The 35-year-old outfielder is already five home runs away from tying his career-high. He's getting there thanks to a huge spike in his fly ball rate. It's worth noting that he has never had a home run-to-fly ball rate quite like this, so it's fair to expect his pace to slow down somewhat. That's especially the case if he is traded somewhere and finds himself in a semi-regular role. But his ownership number is way too low based on his current situation and level of production.
Eric Stults SP, Padres (Yahoo: 27 percent owned)
I haven't been a big believer in Stults in the past, but it's hard to argue with what he has done so far this season. Through 19 starts, the 33-year-old has a 3.50 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 74/25 K/BB ratio over 121 innings. This includes a complete game victory over the Rockies in his most recent start on Tuesday. Not surprisingly, Stults has enjoyed most of his success at home, compiling a 2.56 ERA at PETCO Park compared to a 4.31 ERA on the road. The southpaw will close out the first half with a start against the struggling Giants at home, so he makes for one of the more appealing streaming options out there.
Brian Dozier 2B/SS, Twins (Yahoo: 16 percent owned)
Believe it or not, Dozier has been one of the most productive middle infielders in fantasy leagues over the past six weeks, batting .269/.380/.485 with seven home runs, 22 RBI, and four stolen bases over 41 games. The 26-year-old has pulled his batting average up from .197 to .233 in the process. While he was really struggling to make contact in the early part of the season, he has an impressive 21/20 K/BB ratio during this 41-game span. He had a 184/154 K/BB ratio over 365 games in the minors, so perhaps he just needed some time to get comfortable at the major league level. If Dozier can continue to make contact and get on base at a high clip, the Twins figure to stick with him near the top of the order. That could result in some sneaky value the rest of the way.
Yonder Alonso 1B, Padres (Yahoo: 10 percent owned)
Out since the end of May with a broken bone in his right hand, Alonso is 6-for-11 (.545) with two RBI through three rehab games with Triple-A Tucson. Back to full health, he appears on track to be activated this weekend against the Giants. The 26-year-old first baseman was hitting .284 with six home runs and 29 RBI in 54 games prior to the injury, so he should be a useful CI (corner infielder) in most formats moving forward. Kyle Blanks has really come back down to Earth over the past few weeks, so playing time shouldn't be an issue.
Hector Santiago RP/SP, White Sox (Yahoo: 13 percent owned)
Santiago has quietly been very useful as a member of Chicago's rotation, posting a 3.36 ERA over 11 starts while strikeout 67 batters in 61 2/3 innings. Only Matt Harvey, Max Scherzer, Anibal Sanchez, and Yu Darvish have a higher K/9 among those who have thrown at least 60 innings as a starter. Walks are an issue for Santiago (4.6 BB/9 in 155 2/3 innings), but opposing batters haven't made him pay yet. The 25-year-old southpaw figures to head back to the bullpen when Jake Peavy returns from the disabled list after the All-Star break, but he's a solid streaming option against the Phillies this weekend.
Shopping at the five-and-dime:
(Players owned in under 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues)
Grant Green SS, Athletics (Yahoo: 3 percent owned)
Green earned his first call-up to the majors this week after batting .318/.374/.500 with 11 home runs, 49 RBI, and four stolen bases through 81 games this season with Triple-A Sacramento. Selected No. 13 overall back in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, Green has regularly hit for average in the minors while also providing some pop and speed, but he has struggled to find a permanent position due to his defensive shortcomings. The 25-year-old is expected to platoon with Eric Sogard at second base in the short-term, but he could quickly become a regular if he gets off to a hot start. Of course, he's 0-for-6 with four strikeouts thus far, so he's not off to a great start on that end. Still, those in need of MI (middle infielder) help should at least consider him as a speculative add.
Wilson Ramos C, Nationals (Yahoo: 9 percent owned)
Ramos has been red-hot since returning from the disabled list, hitting .450 (9-for-20) with two home runs, two doubles, and 10 RBI in six games. The 23-year-old backstop has had some awful luck recently from a health perspective, as he required season-ending knee surgery last May and has been limited to just 20 games this season due to hamstring issues, so it's easy to forget the promise that he showed back in 2011. The presence of Kurt Suzuki complicates things a bit, but I think Ramos will have the edge in playing time during the second half. He should be owned in most two-catcher leagues.
Aaron Hicks OF, Twins (Yahoo: 3 percent owned)
Hicks was a popular sleeper in mixed leagues after his promising showing during spring training, but he began his major league career with a miserable slump and soon found himself dumped on the waiver wire. While that's understandable, it might be time to give him another chance. The 23-year-old outfielder is hitting .344 with six extra-base hits (one home run) two RBI, two stolen bases, and nine runs scored in nine games since returning from a strained left hamstring. I wouldn't look for the batting average to continue at this lofty level, as Hicks still strikes out way too much, but he has enough pop and speed to help in deeper formats. He could get a nice boost in value if the Twins give him another shot out of the leadoff spot soon.
Blake Parker RP, Cubs (Yahoo: 4 percent owned)
With Kevin Gregg on the trade block, Parker is someone who should be on your radar. The 28-year-old right-hander has pitched well since his call-up in June, posting a 2.12 ERA and 16/5 K/BB ratio over 17 innings, leading Cubs manager Dale Sveum to say that he could turn to him as a replacement at closer if Gregg is dealt. Part of his reasoning is that Parker has closed in the minors (he has 66 saves in seven seasons), but the Cubs are also encouraged by the development of his splitter as a legitimate out-pitch. James Russell and Pedro Strop could also figure in, but Parker appears to be next in line at the moment.
Christian Yelich OF, Marlins (Yahoo: 2 percent owned)
One of the top outfield prospects in the game, Yelich recently returned to action after missing nearly a month due to a lower abdominal injury. The 21-year-old outfielder got off to a solid start his year before going into an extended slump just prior to the injury, so the Marlins will likely want to see him get on a hot streak before calling him up, but scouts are pretty enamored by his smooth swing from the left side of the plate. I think we'll see Yelich at some point during the second half, especially if Justin Ruggiano is moved before the trade deadline. Feel free to pick him up if you have the roster flexibility in deeper leagues. | <urn:uuid:07e3f2f7-7ada-4071-83d3-7393a37af412> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/mlb/43660/9/waiver-wired-lomo-momentum?pg=1 | 2014-04-18T23:45:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609535535.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005215-00409-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980465 | 2,825 |

If the character of a community is measured by its embrace of the vulnerable and disadvantaged, then Kearney residents have done their city proud. As the 2019 Goodfellows campaign concludes this week, the ending tally will fall somewhere north of $68,000.
Confident that will happen, it will make the 2019 drive the fifth most successful in the history of the Goodfellows, which began in the 1940s when Kearney Hub Publisher Ormond Hill suggested to his coffee buddies that they pool their money and see that Kearney’s needy children received gifts on Christmas.
Something magical happened that year, and a holiday tradition was born. There are no records of how much money Hill and his business friends collected from each other, and we also have no idea how many children received gifts from these original “Goodfellows.”
What we do know, after some 75 years of the Kearney Goodfellows, is that it’s an outlet for people who care about the less fortunate and want to do something about it.
Business supporters remain the foundation for Goodfellows fundraising. This year, main street donors provided $19,335 in donations during the Dec. 7 one-day business drive. That money jump-started giving, and thanks to generous business operators, the 2019 drive will conclude as one of the most successful in Goodfellows history.
There are other reasons to count 2019 as a successful year. On Dec. 22, hundreds of volunteers crowded the Exhibit Building at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds to wrap gifts, and on Christmas morning, hundreds of more volunteers helped deliver the gifts.
We know that Goodfellows is doing what it is meant to do because we see the smiles on the faces of children who received gifts because the community came together and supported a good cause. Without a doubt, Goodfellows put a smile on the faces of needy children. In addition, the Goodfellows experience puts a happy heart inside every donor and volunteer because they reached out to help others in need.
As a longtime supporter of Goodfellows, the Hub thanks donors for their continuing generosity and support. Appreciation also goes to the volunteers who roll up their sleeves to solicit support from businesses, and help wrap and deliver gifts.
It’s gratifying to know that some of Goodfellows’ most loyal supporters were at the receiving end as children. Grateful for the happiness they experienced, they now give so that needy children will have a happy holiday.
There is no better measure of our community’s kind and caring spirit than to count the smiles on the 1,200 children who received Goodfellows gifts this year. | <urn:uuid:d0f38f02-f33a-49b3-8016-e8d99e62ef05> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.kearneyhub.com/opinion/generous-community-has-outlet-in-goodfellows/article_8917f068-2be4-11ea-8186-87201f1663ee.html | 2020-01-22T07:40:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250606872.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20200122071919-20200122100919-00379.warc.gz | en | 0.967246 | 541 |

How to Make Mexican Corn on the Cob
To make Mexican corn on the cob, preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil and then grill corn, turning occasionally until cooked and lightly charred, about 10 to 12 minutes.
While the corn is cooking, mix together the sour cream and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Melt the butter in a separate bowl. Then, combine the chili powder and cayenne pepper in another small bowl. Set all three bowls aside.
Remove the corn from the grill and brush with the melted butter. Spread the sour cream mixture over the top of each corn. Sprinkle with the cheese and chili mixture. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and then serve with lime wedges on the side.
Cooking without a grill: Instead of grilling, you can roast the corn in the oven. Bake the corn in the oven for 35 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the mayo sauce mixture. Once the corn is done baking, spread the mayo mixture over the husks, sprinkle with chili and cheese and enjoy.

You can easily adapt the recipe to fit your taste. If you like it spicy, add an additional dash of cayenne pepper. If you like it cheesier, add more cheese. Adapt this easy grilled corn on the cob recipe to fit everyone’s taste!
What is Cotija cheese used for?
Cotija cheese enhances the flavor of dishes. It’s a salty, firm and flavorful cheese that doesn’t melt. Use it as a topping for salads, soups, tacos, chili and side dishes like this Mexican street corn.
Where to Buy the Ingredients
Cotija cheese is available in the cheese section of most grocery stores. Use queso fresco if you can’t find cotija cheese. If you can’t find either the cotija cheese or the queso fresco, use feta cheese to add flavor.

Another small update, I started playing indoor soccer again. It's a pretty comical league. It's really indoor this time because we play on a basketball court. What's annoying is I now realize that my indoor shoes don't really work on this court and I was slipping all over the place. I seriously felt like circus music should have playing during the game it was so funny. But on the bright side it I'd rather run around after a soccer ball than just going for a run. | <urn:uuid:1bd8d56d-043d-4f55-bf41-747771a66a1b> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://msitomosquito.blogspot.com/2009/01/etsy-ing.html | 2018-03-22T19:34:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648000.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20180322190333-20180322210333-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.984107 | 120 |
How To Make Money Giving Away Free Stuff
FREE! It’s the most powerful word in advertising.
But logically, it doesn’t make sense that you can actually make money giving away free stuff.
To newcomers to internet marketing, this concept may confuse them and lead them to ask the question, “If it’s free, how do you make money?”
To seasoned marketers, we know the power that lies in the “free” marketing concept to make a lot of money, while giving our customers exactly what they want.
Just about everywhere you turn, there is someone offering a free membership, a free report, free advertising, free trial and so on.
But…what happens when the recipient wants to get the free thing?
They sign up!
In other words, they become a lead, a subscriber, a prospect, allowing the marketer to continue contacting them and lead them down the sales funnel.
The free stuff is just the bait – to get them in the door.
Giving away that freebie is NOT the end, it is just the beginning of the relationship between prospect and marketer.
After the freebie seeker has signed up, they’ll be placed in a database to contact in the future.
And in those future contacts, they’ll be shown offers to buy something, upgrade their membership or register their software. Sometimes an offer is made to the prospect right after they sign up!
And that’s where the money is made.
Leads are where it all starts. That’s why list building is so important. And the great thing about having those prospects on a list is that you can contact them over and over.
I’ve got numerous websites where I give away really great info and services away for free…they’re lead collectors for me while they give the recipient what they want.
But, I know you might not have your own website or free offer to get people on your list.
If that’s the case, you can become an affiliate of and promote other websites which have good free offers and upsells which you can make commissions from.
The websites of mine which affiliates have had the most success promoting are
1) www.TurnkeyCashkits.com and
Both of these not only have great free offers you and your referrals will love, but also high-converting back-end offers which you can make money from when you refer a sale.
That is the key to getting this business model to work…
1. An irresistible free front end offer,
2. A high-value upsell,
3. …and if you can throw in an affiliate program
like I have, your websites will take off because they make everyone (your affiliates, your prospects and you) happy. It’s a win-win-win!

I’ve been a little slow on writing new posts lately. First, my wife took a science class in Costa Rica so the opportunity for going hiking has been nil (but look forward to guest posts by her on her hikes in Costa Rica). Second, I’ve been going through all of my hike posts and adding a map of the hike.
I have a Pro subscription to AllTrails.com and when National Geographic stopped producing their TOPO! and Trails Illustrated software they partnered with AllTrails to make them available their site. I use their trail editor software when preparing for hikes that are outside of the White Mountains (I use the AMC White Mountain Guide for hikes within).
I created a map for my most recent hike, a traverse across Lonesome Lake and Cannon Mountain, and enjoyed reliving the hike so much that I decided to do the same for the rest of the hikes I’ve posted and will continue to do so for future hikes. I have marked parking areas, highlights along the routes (like peaks, shelters, vistas and other points of interest) and the approximate routes.
The routes are approximate because I do not track GPS on my hikes to get the exact route. I use a combination of AllTrail’s TOPO! (which generally appear to be out of date), satellite and OCM map layers. I find that the OCM layer is the most accurate, but at times it is just a straight line where the topography layer shows the trail following the contours more accurately. In the end I compare the plotted route to the satellite layer to make sure the route is following the trail and to add side trails that aren’t necessarily on the other layers.
OCM is mapping technology for cyclists which is built on top of OSM, Open Street Map (another layer that AllTrails offers, but doesn’t include trails). I’m not positive if AllTrails’s OCM layer is data from Open Cycle Map, as you don’t see many cyclists on mountain trails, but looking at the OpenCycleMap.org site the data looks to be the same (as well as colors, icons, etc).
After creating the routes and waypoints in AllTrails, I save the map with the TOPO! layer showing. It has the benefit of showing the elevation contours and other features like ski trails, roads and the names of parks, rivers and lakes. Finally, I edit the save map in Photoshop in order to add some more visible labels. I haven’t done so yet, but I will probably publicly share my AllTrails maps and include a links to them so they can be investigated more closely if desired.
Below you will see a select few of the maps I’ve created for my hikes and you can click the link in the map caption to view the accompanying post:
In the end it is quite a bit of work to show a small map with little detail, especially for particularly long hikes. But it is my hope that you, fellow wanderers, will find the maps useful when pared with my posts and stats from my hikes. If I can help encourage one person to get into the mountains and discover something new then it is worth the effort. Plus, I literally relive the hikes in my head while I’m creating the maps. It’s amazing the memories that flood back when I recall the physical location associated with a point on a map.
1 March 2015 Update:
Since the publishing of this post, AllTrails has updated their default map layer to make it much better. Its trail routes now follow the OCM layer’s data more accurately and it visually contains many of the features of the TOPO! layer, but it is much cleaner and easier to read. See an example of the new layer in my post about Pamola Peak. | <urn:uuid:da30aa49-a6ef-4fd4-a2c8-1fb85a4fba31> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://maine-wanderlust.com/2015/01/31/re-envisioning-past-hikes/ | 2018-06-20T03:47:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863411.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620031000-20180620051000-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.947917 | 800 |
Zig Zag your Raccoon puppet! And the Raccoon puppet IS included!
Here is a smaller version of the world famous ZIG-ZAG illusion, specially sized for your Raccoon Puppet!
After you do all the usual antics with your Raccoon, you take him and place him in this beautifully handcrafted illusion box.
His tail sticks out through a little opening in the bottom, his head sticks out of the top.
Using the two SOLID metal blades, you cut him into three pieces!
BUT WAIT- that's not all!
Just like the classic Zig Zag Lady illusion, you then slide his middle ALL THE WAY TO THE SIDE!
How is that possible??
The audience can still see his head and tail, which haven't moved!
Where is his middle??
(And no, it's NOT done with mirrors!)
Of course, you then put him back together with no problem at all!
Really cute version of the classic stage illusion, and a great way to get more out of your Raccoon puppet.
Works with Robbie Raccoon, Robbie Jr. or Rocky spring animal puppets.
Box will look like the one in the photo, not the older demo video. | <urn:uuid:1ef8dafc-780c-44c2-b544-36606b80ac4e> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://www.magictricks.com/zig-zag-rocky.html | 2017-04-25T12:19:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917120349.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031200-00444-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948337 | 260 |

Steven Tyler Convinced Jennifer Lopez to Leave ‘American Idol’
Rumors of Jennifer Lopez supposedly leaving ‘American Idol‘ flooded every kind of news wave imaginable. Yet Aerosmith frontman and ‘Idol’ judge Steven Tyler was the first to announce his exit from the reality show competition. And, as we all know now, Lopez followed suit soon after and confirmed her departure from the show.
Apparently the move for the hot mama to leave ‘Idol’ was very well planned, and that it was Tyler who “cemented” her decision to leave. ”We had magic,” said Lopez to ABC News. ”I don’t know, with him gone, it might be a different formula.” Well, that’s one way to leave a show dangling by one judge.
But of course, Lopez doesn’t rule out returning to ‘Idol’ in the future, and she even has suggestions for replacements. And they’re um… pretty extravagant. “I think like Bono, or Bon Jovi, or Mick Jagger,” she said of who she’d like to see as a judge. ”You know me, I think big.”
We’re not sure what we think of her judge picks. That’s like getting Paul McCartney to be on the show. We think they should leave the legends alone. What do you think PopCrush readers? Sound off your comments below.

Networking tools & tips
Some folks have been asking how we use social networking and other tools to build the coalition. Below is a list of the tools that we have found to be effective. In trying to figure out what will work best for you there are a couple of things to keep in mind.
Broadcast vs Conversation
Some of these tools are good for one not the other. You have to be clear on what is best for your organization. Broadcast tools are great if you want a to create a place for basic information but its not so good if you want to engage and build your audience.
The web is forever but these tools are not
When choosing which tools to use its important to keep in mind that this is a constantly shifting universe (remember Friendster??). The resources that are in use today might not be there tomorrow so you have to be sure what you are comfortable letting get lost in the ethers of the Internet & what content you want to preserve for the future.
This is our best guess today. All of these tools are free (except where noted). Have better ideas?? Please let us know by posting comments below!
Having an online presence is critical. Your website is the first place people will go to gain a sense of your organization. An easy way to get your website up & running quickly is to use some ready made tools. Here at the Coalition we love WordPress, a blogging platform that is easy to install and use. You can use it to build your entire site or if you already have a website you can build it into a section of your site for people without html skills to be able to contribute content. Once set up its an easy interface and infinitely expandable. You can easily change the look by playing with different themes and with plugins for about every need – calendars, tags, pictures and more. There is a large online community using WordPress so its easy to find support and documentation online.
2. Facebook Page
Facebook is, for the moment, the village green. It is by far the best tool for engaging in a conversation with your wider community. A couple of tips:
- Never set up your privacy settings in a rush – take the time to make sure it is exactly how you would want it
- When you first set up your Facebook Page you will be given a long and unruly URL. Build up your fan base and you will be able to choose a nice succinct URL for your organization.
- Facebook should be a conversation – its rude if only one person is speaking! Make sure your wall contains a generous amount of posts that don’t come from you but come from the community and don’t be stingy on taking the time to comment on posts by other people.
- Don’t be boring in what you post! Usually if its something interesting to you it will be interesting to your community. If its a slow week find a historical document or news article.
- Links, photos & videos are eye catching & more likely to be forwarded on so use them to expand your community.
Its free so why not utilize it? Twitter is used intensely by a small number of people. There are tools for linking it to your other networking sites (website, Facebook). We use a plug in called TwiBadge
Your two main video options are youTube (most popular) or Vimeo (better quality). You can easily set up your organizations “channel” and customize the look. Do it once & you’re all set! YouTube has recently added the capacity for closed captioning which can help make your site accessible.
Its easy to set up a group on Flickr for everyone in your community to contribute images to. Then you can embed an constantly updating slideshow on your website!
5. Email Blasts
Like many non-profit groups we use Constant Contact to manage our email lists. Its a paid service. The fee is determined by how many folks are on your email list. Constant Contact comes with a variety of templates so that you can customize the look of your emails. It can sometimes be a bit clunky to use but overall its a great tool.
We have found googleForms to be a great way to create online forms embedded into our website or emailed. When folks fill in the form the information is automatically imported into a google spreadsheet. We use googleDocs for our sign in sheets for organizations that want to become Participating Organizations or Sponsors.
7. Show me the Money!
If you have the mission of a non-profit but are not legally registered you might want to look into fiscal sponsorship. This makes it possible for people to donate to your cause via a legal non-profit. This is a great way for fledgling or short term organizations to get started. Usually the sponsoring organization keeps a small percentage of money received to cover administrative costs. City Lore is the fiscal sponsor for the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition.
Its always nice to make it easy for people to donate money! We use Paypal for non-profits other folks also like Google check out. Both services have tools for creating links and buttons to make it easy for folks to give.
If you have a specific campaign or financial goal another route is to use Kickstarter. This is a great tool if you need to raise a certain amount of money in a short time period.
8. Tie it all together!
Your website you should include links to your Facebook Page (make the badge in Facebook), Twitter feed, Flickr feed and have a sign up box for your Constant Contact email list.
Make sure your Website/Facebook Page/Twitter/Flickr Group/youTube Channel all share the same name. | <urn:uuid:62f9110c-0f4f-468c-ac76-20f644639d2c> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://rememberthetrianglefire.org/join-us/network/ | 2014-07-28T12:20:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510259834.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011739-00287-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.935234 | 1,157 |

A top German prelate has claimed homosexuality is behind the church’s clergy sexual abuse scandal, the latest church official to promote a disproven theory assailing gay priests.
“‘What has happened in the church is no different from what is happening in society as a whole. . .The real scandal is that the Catholic church hasn’t distinguished itself from the rest of society’. . .
“But Cardinal Brandmüller claimed that only a ‘vanishingly small number’ of clergy had committed abuses. He said the real problem was homosexuality and claimed it is “statistically proven” that there is a link between homosexuality and abuse.”
Brandmüller said “80 percent” of those survivors abused were adolescent males, not children. This claim is disproven by the German bishops’ report on abuse in the church, which found that more than half of survivors began being abused before the age of 13, reported PinkNews.
Brandmüller, one of the four cardinals who submitted dubia (statements of doubt) to Pope Francis regarding the pope’s apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, is not the first church official to link homosexuality and abuse. Since new revelations of clergy sexual abuse and related coverups broke in the U.S. last summer, gay priests have been scapegoated anew. Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano included such homophobic content in his series of letters attacking the pope. Other gay-negative voices include Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, Auxiliary Bishop Marian Eleganti of Chur in Switzerland, the now-deceased Bishop Robert Morlino of Madison, Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, and Bishop Richard Stika of Knoxville.
In addition, though he did not link them to abuse, Pope Francis expressed concern about gay priests in a recent interview, raising questions of whether he still believes in his famous, “Who am I to judge?”
Despite these and other claims, Catholics, including other church leaders, are refusing to scapegoat gay priests, and to ignore the real causes of sexual abuse. Swiss dioceses quickly rejected Bishop Eleganti’s slander. The vicar general of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising said it was “discrimination” to link gay priests and abuse. Numerous lay leaders and LGBT advocates have added their voices, too. And hundreds of the faithful have signed New Ways Ministry’s statement in support of gay priests, “The Gift of Gay Priests’ Vocations.”
Disregarding studies that show homosexuality is not a cause of sexual abuse, Cardinal Brandmüller’s assertion of this false theory is further evidence that it will remain a conservative talking point. Catholics of conscience must continue doing whatever possible to refute such theories because the costs of such homophobia to survivors of sexual abuse, LGBT people, and gay priests are high.
We are asking readers Bondings 2.0 readers and the entire faithful to sign a statement which expresses solidarity with and gratitude for gay priests, and which also calls on church leaders to publicly affirm these men. To sign “The Gift of Gay Priests’ Vocations,” click here. Please share this statement with your networks.
