A suspect who fled the scene of a fatal shooting early Thursday outside a Port Richey strip club is extremely dangerous and may have gang ties, Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco said at a late-morning news conference where he called on the man to turn himself in.
The sheriff asked that anyone with information about the whereabouts of Taurezs Leigh Bullock, 27, call his office at (727) 847-5878. Nocco also vowed that his officers would be “tactically prepared” when they apprehend Bullock, who ran away from the strip club parking lot where a man identified as David Avant was shot to death.
“(Bullock) is a very violent individual,” Nocco said.
Bullock and a friend were at the Brass Flamingo, 9034 U.S. 19, in the early morning hours Thursday when the friend became involved in an argument with Avant, investigators said. After the strip club closed, the argument moved to the parking lot and became physical, Nocco said.
When a bystander tried to stop the fight, Bullock reportedly shot and wounded the bystander, then shot and killed Avant, the sheriff said. Bullock and his friend both ran away, Nocco said.
The sheriff’s office received a call at 2:15 a.m. about the shooting. The bystander, whom the sheriff’s office did not identify, was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The sheriff’s office has been searching for Bullock using its air unit and K-9 deputies. Nocco said anyone harboring the suspect could be charged as well.
The sheriff said Bullock is believed to be connected to a gang called the Valentine Bloods, which has been active in the area dealing in drugs and guns.
“There’s parts of Pasco that is not a sleepy bedroom community,” Nocco said. | <urn:uuid:1cc97859-00e8-4a95-8738-d56357e7ab02> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://tbo.com/news/crime/one-dead-in-shooting-outside-pasco-strip-club-20131219/ | 2015-07-29T18:21:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042986615.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002306-00043-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975273 | 414 |

To commemorate the opening of Aquatica, Planet Smoothie’s culinary team created three customized flavored smoothies to celebrate the park’s South Seas inspiration. “Papa” the spoonbill, “Roa” the Kiwi bird, and “Ihu” the gecko symbolize the playful, carefree nature of Aquatica. These animal characters—derivative patterns from New Zealand’s Maori culture—adorn carved totem poles and interactive fountains throughout Aquatica.
Papa’s Peach Beach Delight is a combination of peach, strawberry, yogurt, and sherbet. Roa’s Refreshing Pineapple Breeze is a tangy pineapple, orange juice and strawberry mixture. Ihu’s Invigorating Strawberry Splash combines the sweet flavor of strawberries with the tart taste of lemons.
All three new creations are available for a limited time only from March 15–May 15, 2008 at Planet Smoothie’s participating Florida stores only.
“Upon learning of SeaWorld’s intention to build a waterpark, we knew it would be an ideal partner for Planet Smoothie,” notes Jason Mann, Planet Smoothie Orlando master franchisee. “Aquatica’s focus on playful, carefree fun aligns perfectly with Planet Smoothie’s emphasis on high-energy, natural and healthy meal alternatives.”
For a limited time, guests to Aquatica will be able to enjoy in-park samples of the three tribute smoothie flavors. | <urn:uuid:a6fbe5a8-1221-47a6-b4e3-cc6a6030fdc4> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/planet-smoothie-partners-seaworld | 2017-01-25T02:39:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560285337.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095125-00172-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.824109 | 336 |

My Desk, No Gloss
Inspired by Kim Werker of Mighty Ugly fame, this is a photo of my desk with no before hand clean up. All things considered it is pretty neat. The pile on the left is things that I need to see to sooner rather than later (A fax to send for my mother and a sock to darn). The pile on the right is just the notebook I use to jot things down on while I work and sock blockers that need to be hung up. The framed picture is awaiting hanging, as well. The circular needles need to be put away. Theorectically the CD case in the center is going to remind me to get that CD out of my car (hasn't worked yet). Hubby's sock and yarn are on hold until the second sock is done and I need to change the earwires to lever backs on a couple of earrings. So, there you have it.
Why the sudden need to post "No Gloss" photos of our desks? It seems there are those who think we online crafters live "glossy" lives as evidenced by the "perfect" pictures we put up on our blogs, Pinterest, etc. What a hoot! | <urn:uuid:80a3c0fb-704e-4650-a82f-b254f5001783> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://serenity-knits.blogspot.com/2013/05/no-gloss.html | 2014-10-23T08:38:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507454577.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005734-00152-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972579 | 256 |
I don't know of a direct tutorial.
You can just add a recordset to the current orders details page to return the details for that order. Then use a repeated table on that page to show the order details information.
You could add an INNER Join to the current orders table to join in the users information that you want displayed on that page as well. I don't think you would use DA at this point... the rest can be done with native DW functionality at this point. | <urn:uuid:08938507-18b5-4e1d-9655-c3c9a46dc777> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.webassist.com/forums/post.php?pid=5971 | 2016-10-22T08:53:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718866.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00347-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.937454 | 100 |

I’d happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I’m sure it will grow in time.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.

Codex Alimentarius Commission meeting in July 2019 (CAC42).
Rough transcript of the debate about the additive Trisodium Citrate in liquid milk . (Page down for the report of the debate on the follow on formula standard and cross promotion.)
At the end of the debate the EU said: We would like to support the proposal just made and make clarifications. This is a sensitive discussion since it relates to food additives in plain milk. We agree it should NOT be used in plain milk. Indeed nitrogen Trisodium Citrate is NOT authorised in EU and will not be. [The EU position] is related to the risks of deceiving the consumer and related to other legitimate factors that consumers do not expect milk to contain additives. There needs to be further discussion on this issue to find a way forward.
Monday 8th – Plenary session 2 – Afternoon
Zimbabwe (1.50) expresses concern that the additive Trisodium Citrate was being proposed as an additive to liquid milks, and that milks are fed to babies. [Even if they are not specifically marketed for them.] Kenya (1.54) agrees with Zimbabwe, as does Cameroon (1.58).
IBFAN (Patti): “How many countries can express reservations and it not lead to anything – how will this work out?”
Tom Heilandt (Codex Sec) There is no numerical limitation on the numbers, but if there were more reservations than approvals it would be very strange. But this is not the case here. In this case the reservations will be noted in the report.
Zimbabwe (2.02): Echo the concerns of the previous speaker. Since there is no consensus why consider adopting this?
Burkina Faso (2.02) and Senegal endorse the reservations expressed by African countries.
Ethiopia: Why are we here if we don’t have consensus, if most countries don’t agree?
Ghana: (2.04) I agree with concerns expressed by other countries.
ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States):Echo the concerns of others i the region. We should apply consensus throughout and not adopt anything without consensus.
IDF (International Dairy Industry – global dairy industry) (2.05) Deeply involved in the preparation of the proposals. Happy to explain how and why these are used and consider them perfectly safe.
Guinea (2.07): aligns with other African countries.
Nigeria (2.08): also not comfortable of this additive to milk.
Brazil (2.08) supports the measure. Its a very important matter for us. CCFA is the correct place to evaluate the scientific evidence and we had many opportunities to raise concerns. We urge that the provisions are adopted so we can move forward.
China, Chair of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) (2.09.31):This has been discussed many times and some members want to use this additive. There was a long discussion on how to use the note. From the document you can see we use the 3 notes. To reflect that we limit the use to particular climatic conditions. Sorry to see several reservations – but as Chair of Committee I don’t think we can find a better solution. The Committee finally agreed to forward it to the CAC for adoption.
Guilherme Antonio Da Costa, Codex Chair (2.13 ) After our discussions we should take into account what we had in the technical committee which is based on a sound scientific basis. I understand the concerns but taking into account the discussions already we should adopt the standard and register the reservations in the report. Does the Commission accept that?
Zimbabwe (2.13.43): I appreciate your comments on this matter – however – this is not the first time a standard has been agreed in a subsidiary committee, and then it comes to CAC and there is not consensus. We don’t have consensus because the evidence is not considered exhaustive. We want to express a similar concern on food category 01.1.1 and ‘other fluid milks – where there are provisions for emulsifiers and stabilisers’. I think we should add another reservation on the provisions.
Costa Rica (2.15): It was not our intention to be in opposition of the standard – we want to make sure that its clear – in Costa Rica the additives are not permitted and this is set out in the handbook. (need to check)
Mauritania (2.16): Is not convinced. UHT can spoil with just a tiny bit so there is no need to add Trisodium Citrate.
Cameroon (2.19): We spent a whole morning the fundamental values of transparency, and consensus and here we see that we have to accept this, despite reservations. Our discussions this morning – where we spent the whole morning trying to satify the reservations from a few countries. So we cannot ignore the reservations of african countries.
Chair (2.18): I understand your concern but this is two different issues. What we are discussing now is something that came from a technical committee where there was consensus. He refers to the ‘scientific base’ and was decided in the committee.
ECOWAS (2.21) Adds voice to Cameroon. All the African countries here today expressed their concerns, we are a big number. This is not the first time this has happened. All African countries here feel the same.
Chair: The doubts raised here in terms of science in relation to additives – based on decisions on science – it’s different. We are in one environment that’s different.
IBFAN (2.22) I wonder – because the report is hardly seen – could a line of caution be added to the standard – particularly when these products are used for children. It seems to me that all the African countries have concerns. I’ve been watching Codex for many years and have seen countries objections so often relegated to the report. I doubt whether law makers look at the report. Basically Codex gives an aura of safety to all the products and I think it needs to be really careful before it does that.
Tom Heilandt (Codex Sec): This seems to be a question of science and I understand that the safety of this additive at the amounts specified was not question.
Markus Lipp (Food and Agriculture (FAO), Secretariat of JECFA (2.25): Questions the criticisms and said there is no reason that JECFA is aware of to doubt the safety of the additive. He is unclear what is missing and why it is not technologically needed. If there is knowledge it should be brought to JECFA so it can be re-evaluated.
Benin (2.27): Expresses reservations and says its our duty to say this.
Codex Secretariat: Reads the notes about climatic conditions and the necessity for the additive.
Peru: Has no doubts about additives in milk.
Chile: Is happy to go ahead.
Cameroon (2.32): Several cases where JECFA provided all the cases – if the evaluation took into account of the concerns of the African countries….
Markus Lipp: Takes into account the global issue – different conditions – different diets. In this particular case the only function is for proteins not to settle in certain climatic conditions…merely an additive to prevent sedimentations. Where are the scientific questions? What convincing needs to happen?
Zimbabwe: The 3 notes alluded to bring even more doubt to the adoption of the standard. Sect 4.2 – the same milk remains even with the additives.
ECOWAS 2.37: This product is intended for many categories of people in the document we want to adopt now. understanding GMP – it can be used at any level. We are creating a lot of problems for developing countries in terms of Public Health.
Chair: everything from JECFA is concerned with safety. Good manufacturing practices – used for a long time. Based on Codex elements.
Mauritania (2.41). There are more worries relating to children.
Paraguay: Supports the adoption.
Cuba also supports adoption. No problem. If fortifiers are used they must not cause bad effects – industry needs to use good manuals and practice.
Kenya: 2.57. Reserve comment on this. Not clear which climatic conditions this note would apply. Additives may have thickening properties. Can JECFA say climatic conditions?
Markus Lipp, Sec. JECFA: There was uncertainty in the Committee on how to describe climatic conditions. The additive has multiple functions in food – not explicitly mentioned, except as a stabiliser.
China: Chair CCFA (2.49): Technical discussions should take place in the technical committee. I didn’t hear so many different voices before. It is up to the Commission to decide or take it back to CCFA. As Chair of committee I’m quite open.
Chair persists in saying it should be adopted with reservations mentioned in the report.
National Health Federation (NHF):
…pause while they elect 3 vice chairs. After the session closes – at the reception I talked to the Chair and others and about the implications of being seen not to take the concerns seriously and not taking the issue back for another year.
Tuesday – Plenary session 3
Chair: 4.47: Before we start any further exchange of views I want to recall the helpful intervention of the Chair of CCFA.
CHINA Chair of CCFA: Notes the concerns about Trisodium Citrate. Proposes that as the TC has different properties and is only stabiliser, when we look at the use proposed, CCFA can try to work on a numerical limit for its use – or more discussion on the notes to reduce the potential for its misuse. This would reduce concerns about Para 1.1.1. Para 1.1.2 concerns other fluid milks and is a newly created food category with two different food additives. There is a technical justification for additives for this food category.
EU: We would like to support the proposal just made and make clarifications. This is a sensitive discussion since it relates to food additives in plain milk. We agree it should NOT be used in plain milk – Indeed nitrogen Trisodium Citrate is NOT authorised in EU and will not be. [The EU position] is related to the risks of deceiving the consumer and related to other legitimate factors that consumers do not expect milk to contain additives. There needs to be further discussion on this issue to find a way forward.

Outcome. African and EU concerns were heard. The issue is taken back for another year.
Draft provision for trisodium citrate (INS 331(iii)) in FC 01.1.1 “Fluid milk (plain)”
21.The Codex Secretariat introduced the item and explained that the use of trisodium citrate (INS 331(iii)) in FC 01.1.1 “Fluid milk (plain)” had been extensively discussed at several CCFA sessions, and that CCFA had decided to associate the provision with notes 438, 439 and B25, to facilitate its application.
22.CAC42noted the following views expressed by delegations not supporting the provision:
i.The use of trisodium citrate (INS331 (iii)) was not technologically justified and could result in changing the nature of the product and cause in consistencies with the General Standard for the Use of Dairy Terms(CXS 206-1999);
ii.Scientific studies had demonstrated that there was no need to use additives in UHT milk and that currently nitrogen (INS 941) and the food additive group PHOSPHATES were the only additives authorised for use in FC 01.1.1;
iii.Permitting the use of this food additive under conditions of GMP could create public health concerns in infants fed with UHT milk; and
iv.This issue was related to the application of section 3.2 of the preamble to the GSFA and therefore the use of food additives in this FC would mislead consumers as they did not expect milk to contain additives.
23.Delegations supporting the adoption of the provision recognised the scientific advice provided by FAO and WHO and were of the opinion that the use of trisodium citrate in FC 01.1.1 did not constitute any food safety concerns and was technologically justified only under certain climatic conditions.
24.One delegation that supported the use of this food additive considered it necessary to insist on good practices in the food chain bearing in mind risk factors.
25.The Representative of FAO clarified that, taking into account the global diet exposure data, the safety of trisodium citrate had been confirmed by JECFA. Should new information become available, a JECFA re-evaluation could be requested by CCFA.
26.One member stated that it was unclear under which “climatic conditions” Note B25 reading “For use in UHT milk from bovine species to compensate for citrate or calcium content to prevent sedimentation as a result of climatic conditions only” would apply and that further explanation would be needed.
27.In view of the lengthy discussions and difficulty in reaching consensus, the CCFA Chairperson proposed that CAC42 recommend to CCFA to further consider possible solutions, e.g. setting numeric use levels and/or clarifying the notes further.
28. CAC42 encouraged members to actively participate in CCFA meetings so that technical issues could be fully deliberated there.Conclusion29.CAC42 agreed to return the draft food-additive provision for the use of trisodium citratein FC 01.1.1 to CCFA for further consideration.Proposed draft provisions related to FC 01.1.2 “Other fluid milks (plain)” with the technological functions of emulsifier and stabilizer30.CAC42was informed that FC 01.1.2 was a new food category adopted by CAC39 in 2016 aimed at differentiating the use of food additives used in fluid milks other than those specified in FC 01.1.1.
31.Delegations not supporting the adoption of the proposed draft provisions pointed out that:
i.Addition of food additives in FC 01.1.2 with the technological functions of emulsifier and stabilizer could mislead consumers as these additives could also have other technological functions, such as thickener which, for this category, was not justified in accordance with Section 3.2 of the preamble of the GSFA; and
ii.Food products covered under FC 01.1.2 may be used in production of food for children and therefore the use of food additives in FC 01.1.2 should be addressed together with the provisions relating to FC 01.1.1.
32.Delegations supporting the adoption of these provisions were of the view that:
i.These food additives had been evaluated by JECFA with Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADIs)of “not specified” and there had been consensus after extensive discussions at several sessions of CCFA; and
ii.The use of these food additives in this food category is limited to emulsifier or stabilizer only, which was technologically justified and would not mislead consumers.
33.CAC42adopted the proposed draft provisions related to FC 01.1.2 with the technological functions of emulsifier and stabilizer only, at Step 5/8.34.
Costa Rica expressed their reservation to this decision.
Review of the Standard on Follow-up Formula (CXS 156-1987): Proposed draft Scope, Description and Labelling for follow-up formula for older infants – Debate about Cross Promotion
81.A delegation could not support adoption of the text as there were unresolved issues on the scope and labelling, and requested that reference to the WHO International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes, other relevant WHO documents and relevant WHA resolutions should be included in the scope similar to the Standard on Infant Formula and Formulas for Special Medical Purposes Intended for Infants(CXS 72 –1981).
82.Other delegations supported adoption, while also noting that the issue of cross-promotion required further consideration in CCNFSDU,including from the perspective of determining if such a concept was fully consistent with the international trade rules established by WTO and WIPO. CAC42 noted that all technical comments, including those related to cross-promotion,should be resubmitted at Step 6 in reply to a Circular Letter, for consideration by the next session of CCNFSDU.
83.An observer stated that there was no need for follow-up formula and noted that because of marketing of these products, a provision on cross-promotion was needed
i.adopted the proposed draft text (scope, definition and labelling –as endorsed and amended by CCFL), and noted that the last part of section 9.6.4 on cross-promotion would be further considered by CCNFSDU;
ii.noted that CCEXEC77 had recalled and reaffirmed the advice given by CCEXEC75 regarding use of references to WHO documents and WHA resolutions. | <urn:uuid:1c6dee02-e2f0-4f0a-bb06-d79ed1c03f5b> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.babymilkaction.org/archives/22750 | 2022-12-08T08:35:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711286.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20221208082315-20221208112315-00639.warc.gz | en | 0.94921 | 3,669 |

We haven't turned the telly off for 10 days now .... its been soooo exciting and good old Team GB, doing so well and on the whole making it look quite easy. Easy to forget the hours and hours a day of very hard training to get all those medals!
Charlie was 18 a couple of weeks ago and celebrated in Aiya Napa on a boys trip which involved ,I'm sure, lots of things a mother shouldn't know that her child is doing. However to make up for that we had a small party at home with close family friends.It was very low key but really just perfect! We all watched Murray beat Federer and win a gold medal and cycling events and rounded off with 100m final! A great day!
Though I say so myself the food turned out to be delicious, slow roasted chicken with chorizio and sweet potatoes. The main event was the cake, made by a friend of mine who is FANTASTIC! She has made cakes for us on several occasions and they are always AMAZING | <urn:uuid:241d8b6c-93c9-4b7d-9c3c-4ed0f8a85910> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://sophiespeaksout.blogspot.com/2012/08/olympic-fever.html | 2017-10-22T22:31:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825473.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022222745-20171023002745-00006.warc.gz | en | 0.986066 | 213 |

Delhi Chief Minister issues warning to school for confining students in basement; to order probe
He visited the school along with his deputy Manish Sisodia, Environment Minister Imran Hussain and the MLA from Ballimaran constituency under which the school comes, on Thursday
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has issued a stern warning to the authorities of a school, which allegedly confined 16 kindergarten children in the basement over non-payment of fee and said a probe would be ordered into the matter.
He visited the school along with his deputy Manish Sisodia, Environment Minister Imran Hussain and the MLA from Ballimaran constituency under which the school comes, on Thursday.
Kejriwal said they interacted with the principal of Rabia Public School, Naheed Usmani, and warned her that this kind of treatment towards children would not be tolerated and the Delhi government and the police will take action. He said an inquiry would be ordered to look into the matter. Kejriwal and Sisodia also interacted with students and teachers there.
The chief minister sought a report from the education department about the alleged confinement of the students in the basement of the school for non-payment of fee.

Expanding into the cloud is like pioneering into new terrain. Some have gone there and come back with amazing stories. Others have moved out, lock, stock, and barrel, and keep writing letters, telling us how wonderful it is. We may experience a longing for adventure and profit, but there are doubts and fears to overcome. How much will it cost? What will I have to give up? What if something goes wrong? How do I know I’ll be safe?
Since cloud computing is new and unknown, it is natural that these questions arise. For answers, we turn to seasoned travellers who have explored the new terrain and who also understand our concerns. Last week we mentioned one such specialist, Andrew McAfee, a principal research scientist at MIT who studies how technology is changing the business world. In his article What Every CEO Needs to Know About the Cloud, McAfee addresses the concerns of the business community: cost, reliability, and security, in a somewhat unexpected way. His insights suggest that we may be moving into a space where the old rules don’t always apply.
Take cost, for example. It’s hard to predict. There are some studies that show costs double when you move to the cloud, and yet other studies indicate that it is cheaper in the long run. Which to believe? McAfee says that it really doesn’t matter. IT is such a small part of a company’s budget anyway–about 3.2% on average, according to Gartner–that cost is not a big issue. Furthermore, with cloud providers taking advantage of the economies of scale, and with hardware prices going down all the time, the costs of cloud computing will be continually decreasing for the expected future. So cost is not as big an obstacle as we might expect.
Reliability is another example. People look at the Amazon outage of last year and ask, “How can we trust the cloud?” McAfee points out that at least one company glided right through the crisis: Netflix. They had anticipated such a scenario, and built redundancy into their system to withstand a service interruption. So the show went on for Netflix, without missing a beat or dropping a customer. What’s more, argues McAfee, many cloud services have a higher reliability record than on-premise implementations. According to the Radicati Group, Gmail’s available up-time is over 99.9%, making it more than 30 times more reliable than most corporate email systems.
Whoa, hold on a minute there, partner. We’re talking real-time here, not email. Let’s bring the discussion up to speed and consider how all this applies to a mission-critical real-time system. OK, the lesson from Netflix is useful. A real-time cloud implementation should be able to provide some kind of redundancy, preferably through multiple vendors, or if not, at least through functionally isolated, physically separated systems. At the same time, doing better than a corporate email provider sets a pretty low bar. It begs the question:
Is it possible for a cloud system to be reliable enough for real-time data?
Which brings us to a final misconception, not specifically mentioned by McAfee, but important to us. We need to clear up the either/or mindset. We have to stop asking: cloud or no cloud? Should I drop everything and move on to the bold, new frontier, or stay here with the wimps and Caspar Milquetoasts? This is a false dichotomy. Nowadays the cloud is more than an open public space “out there” that somehow receives and delivers data in vague and mysterious ways. We have options, such as private clouds for tight control, and hybrid clouds to isolate the machinery, PLCs, and SCADA controls of an industrial plant system from managers and analysts who are authorized to access the plant data via the cloud. In either scenario, the vital heart of the control system is not exposed to the cloud.
The important thing to remember is that the new frontier out there beckoning us onward is not so scary or inaccessible as it may seem. It is possible to build an outpost, and still hold the main fort on your real-time data. However, there is at least one more area of misconceptions to look at: security. We’ll talk about that next week. | <urn:uuid:d67ddfa3-f155-4740-aa90-c8ba5ec1d776> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://skkynet.com/ceo-perspectives-2-changing-misconceptions/ | 2017-04-28T00:33:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917122720.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031202-00093-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.943469 | 901 |

The 18th January 2013 marked the 90th anniversary of the first meeting of the Association of Superannuation Funds at Electric Broadway House in Westminster. The Association's minute book, which is held in the National Association of Pension Funds' collection at the Pensions Archive, allows us to see what was discussed at this initial meeting, and some of the concerns that led the Association to be established.
The Association’s constitution and rules, approved at the meeting, set out the Association's intention to act as a forum for members to discuss questions affecting superannuation and pension funds, including legislative changes affecting pension funds, and exchange relevant information between members.
The Conference of Superannuation Funds had primarily worked to obtain exemptions for pension and superannuation funds from paying income tax on their income from interest and dividends, in which they were ultimately successful, with exemptions being granted in the 1921 Finance Act. The Conference also acted as a means of exchanging information and advice on the formation and working of funds, and liaising collectively with government departments.
At the meeting members of the Association elected 10 of their members to form a Council, who met immediately after the meeting closed. The Council discussed planned legislation that would affect widows’ and orphans’ pension funds.
The Association of Pension Funds changed its name to the National Association of Pension Funds in 1967, and the NAPF continues to act as representative body for the occupational pensions industry and provide training and information services for its members.
Material from The Pensions Management Institute, recently deposited in the Pensions Archive, has now been catalogued and is accessible to researchers. The records include minutes of the Institute's Council and committees, as well as the Institute's responses to Government consultative papers between 1996 and 2010. The archive includes a set of papers on the Institute's Model Administration Agreement, which was launched in 2002, and a photographic archive, as well as digital records relating to the member services and training programmes offered by the Institute. There is also a paper on the history of the Institute.
Established originally as the Institute of Pensions Administration in 1975, the Institute was sponsored by four representative bodies for the pensions industry, namely the NAPF, the Society of Pension Consultants, the Life Offices' Association and the Association of Consulting Actuaries and formally launched as The Pensions Management Institute Limited in June 1976. Now based at Artillery Lane in the City of London, the Institute sets and promotes standards of excellence and lifelong learning for pension professionals and trustees through qualifications, membership and support services. The Institute also runs two Conferences, two Trustee Seminars and a range of other technical seminars each year. It produces a number of publications, including PMI News, PMI Technical News and, in conjunction with the Pensions Research Accountants Group, the Pensions Terminology guide, which is currently in its eighth edition.
2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the London Underground. The Metropolitan Railway Company was first established in 1852/3 as the Bayswater, Paddington and Holborn Bridge Company. Between 1860 and 1863 the company constructed the first section of the London Underground, between Paddington and Farringdon, with the first passengers travelling on the Metropolitan line in January 1863.
The archives of the Metropolitan Railway Company are held at London Metropolitan Archives, and they contain a number of records relating to the company’s pension schemes which have been covered in PAT’s Research Guide Project.
The Metropolitan Railway Company had joined the Railway Clearing System Superannuation Fund in 1893, but this was only open to its salaried staff. In 1903 staff made proposals to the company’s General Manager A.C. Ellis for the establishment of a pension fund for uniformed and waged staff. A Pension Fund Committee was formed, with John Biggs, Under Guard at Aldgate station, acting as the committee’s Honorary Secretary.
The proposals were passed to the company’s directors, and were investigated by one of the directors, Sir William Birt. At a staff meeting in 1906 Ellis announced that this proposal would be put to the shareholders if there was sufficient support from the men. Sufficient support was found and the Act of Parliament necessary to authorise the Company to establish and regulate a pension scheme was sought. The Metropolitan Railway (Pension Fund) Act was duly passed in 1907 and the scheme established.
The archive collection for the fund includes papers relating to the establishment of the fund, forms of application for membership, copies of rules booklets for the fund, and the General Manager's files on the fund, which include copies of the fund's accounts. The material covers 1903–1933 and can be viewed at London Metropolitan Archives (reference numbers ACC/1297/MET/10/113 - ACC/1297/MET/10/117).
More information about railway company pensions can be found on the Pensions Archive Trust's website. London Metropolitan Archives has also published a fascinating selection of images from its collections on Historypin to mark the 150th anniversary of the Underground.
The Pensions Archive Trust had a stand at the OPDU Annual Meeting on the 29th January, hosted by Reed Smith at Broadgate Tower. Attendees listened to key note speeches from Mark Hyde Harrison, chairman of the National Association of Pension Funds, and Michael O'Higgins, Chair of The Pensions Regulator, as well as a review from the Chairman of the OPDU Advisory Council, Peter Murray.
The work of PAT was highlighted by OPDU's Executive Director, Jonathan Bull, as he welcomed attendees to the meeting. PAT also had material on display at the ACE/OPDU Risk Conference held at Centre Point on 26 February. PAT is grateful to OPDU for allowing them to attend both events.

We don’t mind.)• Buildable ( more opaque so they can be layered with other transfers, as well as show up against darker colors. Because sometimes one is just not enough, and a maker needs to make it their own.)• Improved backing to help prevent transfer mishaps ( and the subsequent crushed souls.)• Easy to use ( These beauties transfer onto your project surface like butter. )This is in the new "pad" format and has FOUR full, 12" x 16" pages of transfers ...more than in the previous "tube" versions of the transfers.
PREPARATION IS KEY: Keep your transfer with its backing sheet until you are ready to apply. Keep free of dust or debris, which will interfere with adhesion. Do not allow the adhesive side of transfer to touch anything prior to application. When handling the transfer, avoid letting the adhesive side touch itself (don’t do in a windy environment). Do not store transfer in extreme temperatures or humid conditions, which can affect adhesion.
APPLICATION: Start with a clean, dry, matte surface. If painted, make sure it’s well cured, and if you have sanded the paint make certain there is no residual dust. All of these things will interfere with adhesion. Carefully remove the transfer from its white backing. Slowly and carefully lower the transfer onto your intended surface, making sure that it does not touch until the placement is correct. Use small pieces of low tack tape to hold it in place.
Using the provided tool, or one of your choice, start at one end of the transfer and rub firmly to adhere the image to the surface. Do this until the entire image is transferred. If any parts aren’t transferred when you lift, simply lay it back down and rub more on that portion.
After it is transferred, with a clean dry hand, smooth down any bits that aren’t flatly adhered. We recommend sealing with a water based (or not harsh solvent based) sealer (waxes created for chalk type paints also work well if they don’t contain harsh solvents). | <urn:uuid:811ab19e-8157-4831-850b-c83b9e60a148> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.thesageattic.com/product-page/botanist-s-journal-pad-12-x-16-4-pages | 2020-12-05T23:05:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141750841.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20201205211729-20201206001729-00574.warc.gz | en | 0.933269 | 613 |

He will be showing excerpts of his first film, 'The Invisible Lighthouse,' to gauge audience reaction, fine tune the movie edits and get ready for the project’s completion later in 2013. Dolby will be discussing his learning experience on a Q&A panel and then perform live in front of a standing-room-only crowd.
"I am delighted to join the hordes of filmmakers and film fans that will be attending AFME”, said Thomas Dolby. “I know this is one of the foremost film festivals in the Southwest, and feel honored that I have been invited to take part on opening night."

NEW YORK - Steel Rose Editorial (www.steelroseedit.com) cut together a new :30 spot for the Pennzoil-Quaker State Company that uses rapid cuts and a mosaic pattern of imagery to promote its five-oil Quaker State blend. Shot on location at the Homestead Racetrack in Florida, it features race instructor Skip Barber along with NASCAR Winston Cup champion Jeff Gordon.
Tucker Partnership in NYC conceived the commercial, which was shot by Green Dot Films in Santa Monica. The voiceover informs the viewer that Barber knows performance and that "Quaker State's five oils are formulated for fine-tuned performance in different engines." Four-time champ Gordon, leaning against his Dupont Chevrolet, reinforces the message by adding, "Hey, it's working for me."
Steel Rose owner/editor John Monte cut the project and Splash's Andy Milkis created the end visual, which features five Quaker State bottles coming forward and slamming toward the camera, followed by the logo treatment. Bert Berat did the final online in Splash's Quantel Editbox.
NYC's Riot handled the transfer process with Victor Mulholland serving as colorist. Manhattan's Russo/Grantham provided the original score and Lower East Side's Peter Buccellato handled the final mix. | <urn:uuid:db38fe66-d683-4249-8606-202875ac55cd> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.postmagazine.com/Publications/Post-Magazine/2002/April-1-2002/Oily-performance.aspx | 2014-07-31T05:22:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510272584.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011752-00452-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.918486 | 265 |

‘Frank’ Trailer: Michael Fassbender Wears a Mask, Starts a Rock Band
'Frank' is a movie that has the audacity to cast a known face like Michael Fassbender in the lead role and then hide him in a giant, silly-looking fake head for the entire running time. In other words, it's our kind of weird. The film was a big hit at the Sundance Film Festival -- where we gave it a sparkling review -- and with the first 'Frank' trailer, you can see why. This movie looks crazy and, more importantly, crazy good.
Domhnall Gleeson, who really got our attention in last year's 'About Time,' stars as a young man who falls in with the the title character, an alternative musician who insists on wearing a massive fake head wherever he goes. One thing leads to another and soon they're forming a band, developing a fan base and embarking on a truly strange odyssey of music and madness. We were already sold before we saw that it was written by Jon Ronson, the incredible author responsible for books like 'Them' and 'The Psychopath Test.'
Here's the official synopsis:
Acclaimed Irish director Lenny Abrahamson follows up his award-winning films Adam & Paul, Garage and What Richard Did with an offbeat comedy about a young wannabe musician, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), who finds himself out of his depth when he joins an avant-garde pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank (Michael Fassbender), a musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head, and his terrifying bandmate Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal).
'Frank' will arrive in theaters later this year. | <urn:uuid:55178bcb-0c37-4875-bed0-cbe2dc31b05e> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://kdhlradio.com/frank-trailer-michael-fassbender/ | 2018-06-22T15:09:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864546.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622143142-20180622163142-00260.warc.gz | en | 0.957849 | 362 |

Their teams train rigorously for years, so they can immediately mobilize in times of unthinkable disasters like this one.
All donations (up to $1,500) made to the Planet Dog Foundation to help support the work of the life-saving dogs in the Haiti rescue efforts will be matched by the Planet Dog Foundation. Joanne Woodward Newman and Newman's Own Foundation, will then match PDF's total contribution to the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation.

When: The fundraising drive ends on February 8th. PDF will send the donation to the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation on February 10th. Joanne Woodward Newman and Newman's Own Foundation will match the PDF gift on February 15th.
How: Donations can be made at the Planet Dog Company Store located at 211 Marginal Way in Portland. They can also be mailed to PDF to 49 York Street, Portland, ME 04101 along with the PDF donation form found online. Donors should indicate the gift is for the Matching Grant Program for Haiti.

We had the second to last leg of his 2 day journey (the last one was actually his foster Mom taking him home), so Sully was a bit tired by the time he reached us. That didn't stop his curiosity however... he really enjoyed riding and watching out the window.
Sully, ready for his close up... has he stolen your heart yet?
He's a wonderful boy looking for his forever home, so if you know anyone interested please pass his information along to them. Today was another snow day here... Thankfully the drive wasn't like yesterday, but it did snow all day... Hard to believe it was 50 degrees this past Saturday!
Monday, January 18, 2010
Once I crossed into the next town the roads got a tiny bit better, but not much.
We did the second to last leg of Sully's transport last night and fortunately got home well before the real snow started. Sully was an absolute love and was wonderful in the car (poor guy had been riding for two days). I did take some pictures of him (although it was dark and he was a bit tired) and they will be coming soon, promise! In the meantime, check out his Petfinder page!

We help you visualize the final outcome. We offer a variety of design services that enable you to clearly envision your final outcome.
We are a local design company serving the Central Alberta region, including Red Deer, Lacombe, Blackfalds, Sylvan Lake, Stettler, and beyond.
Our experience in the design industry stretches across several decades and encompasses a vast variety of projects and award-winning designs.
Peter Bouwsema started PJB Design in 1990, operating out of his home after several years of working for other construction companies in Central Alberta. With his education in Civil Engineering and his eye for thoughtful design, he steadily built up a portfolio of interesting projects, including the Donut Mill in Red Deer, the award-winning Victoria House apartment building in Lacombe and the renovation/conversion of the Innisfail Alliance Church, along with several beautiful homes around the area.
Brent Bouwsema joined the family business in 2003, bringing with him carpentry experience and education in architectural design. Brent's arrival marked the transition of the business from hand-drawing to computer-aided drafting. Brent's computer know-how also allowed for 3D renderings and visualizations to be added to our repertoire of services.
In 2007, Peter and Lorraine moved office from their house to its present location in the second storey of the Siding 12 office building on the east side of Lacombe. Brent began working onsite in the office in 2010.
In our years of business, we have been involved in over 4000 projects, mostly residential, ranging in size from 600 square foot cabin to a 6000 square foot executive home. We have designed a large variety of spaces, including a dental office, several medical offices, several seniors complexes, many churchesand numerous single family and multi-family homes. Our most recent notable projects include the Sunny 94 building in Lacombe, the Dolman Dental building in Lacombe and the revitalization of several historical buildings in Lacombe and elsewhere. For a more in-depth look at our portfolio, take a look at our gallery.
Peter Bouwsema was born and raised in Calgary and got his first taste of design from his father, a cabinet-builder. Peter attended SAIT after high school, completing a diploma in Civil Engineering Technologies. After their marriage in 1980, Peter and Lorraine moved to Central Alberta to raise their family. He found a market in the area for well-designed, functional homes and decided to pursue it.
After raising three boys with his wife Lorraine, he embarked on a local political career and gained an insight into the inner workings of municipalities, an asset for negotiating with building control bylaws. Since taking a break from politics, he has been enjoying renovating his home, completing woodworking projects, traveling with his wife and watching the shenanigans of his six grandchildren.
Brent Bouwsema has called Lacombe home for most of his life. However, he also has an appreciation for urban living and foreign travel and the interesting and unique design ideas to be found throughout the world. Brent has several years of carpentry experience as well as a diploma in Architectural Technologies from SAIT Polytechnic.
He lives in an intentionally small house in the "numbered streets" part of Lacombe with his wife Kirstin, their four children and four fluffy chickens. He loves wine and cross country skiing, but not at the same time. He is the president of the Lacombe Cross Country Ski Club and a member of the Lacombe Art Selection Committee.
Lorraine Bouwsema was born and raised in Calgary. After her marriage to Peter in 1980, she moved to Central Alberta where she spent the better of 20 years raising her three sons. As the boys got older and PJB Design grew, stepping into the role of office administrator was a natural fit for the organized and methodical Lorraine.
When not busy with her administrative duties, Lorraine steps into her studio and where she enjoys decorative painting, particularly Christmas ornaments. She also enjoys cross-stitching, sewing and other handicrafts. She enjoys the challenge of her being the boss of the office but savours her time with her children and grandchildren the most. | <urn:uuid:f9b1e9b0-52ba-452b-b9c8-aa7ba9cafc04> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.pjbdesign.com/ | 2019-04-24T15:51:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578650225.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20190424154437-20190424180437-00141.warc.gz | en | 0.968838 | 1,038 |
Back when I made my first milestone, I actually got ahead of myself and posted the results too soon. So when I made my second milestone back on March 25 of a total of 20 pounds of weight loss, I was leery of posting my milestone. But now I am fully convinced that I have met the goal. I did have one day after that when my weight was up a little, but other than that, I have been consistently under that 20 pound goal. Yippee! 40 pounds to go! | <urn:uuid:191c1d9c-acf7-448c-bca4-9db853d5b4c9> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://lifeasitistous.blogspot.com/2012/04/milestone-3.html | 2017-09-25T11:27:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818691476.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170925111643-20170925131643-00373.warc.gz | en | 0.986882 | 103 |
(b. 1581, Genova, d. 1644, Venezia)
Banquet at the House of Simonc. 1630
Oil on canvas, 272 x 740 cm
Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice
Bernardo Strozzi the last of the three painters who revitalized Venetian painting at the beginning of the 17th century, came to Venice from Genoa in 1631. In his works the artistic language of Fetti and Liss is developed in a more decorative style influenced by Veronese, with a robust exuberance of colour reminiscent of Rubens. Strozzi's admiration for Veronese even before leaving Genoa is evident in Banquet at the house of Simon, clearly inspired by the works of the great painter, even if the exuberant style is now clearly Baroque.
This is a late work that may have hung in the chapel of Palazzo Gorleri at Diano, Genoa. It combines the careful distribution of figures with attention to the functional details of the narrative. The architectural setting may hint at Veronese's banquet scenes.
The banquet table is set diagonally in the wide niche. There are two focal points to the composition: Christ defending Mary Magdalene and Simon leaning incredulously over the table. A dense, rich colour, vibrant with atmospheric luminosity renders the figures physically and spiritually alive. The close observation of detail has a post-Caravaggio realism in the brilliant depiction of the servant interrupting the scuffle between a dog and a cat, or of the page bearing a tray of fruit, silhouetted against the sky. | <urn:uuid:3b8143f0-5321-46d1-a5bf-18df4cf2dee9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.wga.hu/html/s/strozzi/1/banquet.html | 2022-01-23T18:47:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304309.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123172206-20220123202206-00571.warc.gz | en | 0.903835 | 355 |

This paper summarizes some NACA research on the strength and creep of aircraft structural elements and components at elevated temperatures. Experimental data for aluminum-alloy columns, plates, stiffened panels, and multiweb box beams are presented for temperatures up to 600 degrees F and compared with results predicted from materials data. Methods are described for predicting maximum strength from material stress-strain curves and creep lifetime from isochronous stress-strain curves. Some observations on the probable effect of creep on the design of aircraft structures are also included to illustrate the influence of design criteria on the weight of aircraft structures at elevated temperatures.

Cheryl, who has been rumoured to be making a return to the show, remained coy about her reason for sharing the photo, simply accompanying it with the hashtag "Tbt". But it has fuelled speculation that Simon has convinced her to come back on board the ITV show.
It comes after Nicole Scherzinger confirmed that she has decided not to return for the next series. The former Pussycat Doll instead wants to focus on her own music, and is said to be "heartbroken" after spending months "agonising" over the difficult decision. Gary Barlow announced he would be leaving the show last year.
Music mogul Simon, who famously axed Cheryl from the US version of the X Factor in 2011, is said to have wooed her back with a butler service dinner at the weekend.
"It was just him and Cheryl," an insider told the Sun. "Simon was offering an olive branch. It was a very civil evening.
"She was happy and loved talking about the show. It's pretty much nailed on that she'll be back."
Just last week, Simon, 54, confirmed that he would be returning for the 11th series of the UK talent show – but has yet to announce who will be joining him on the judging panel.
Now, though, an announcement confirming Cheryl's place seems imminent.
By way of incentive, Simon is said to have offered the Newcastle-born brunette a £2million pay packet, as well a free-reign to verbally abuse him.
"Simon is ready for the fury of Cheryl onscreen," a source told the Daily Star. "He has hade it clear she can say what she wants to him, and get the fans booing and hissing him at any stage.
"Obviously fireworks on-screen between the pair could make for astonishing viewing and Simon knows that."
Simon, who fired Cheryl from the US version because viewers couldn't understand her Geordie accent, said he was thrilled to be returning to the show.
"It's been three years since I last judged the competition and I'm excited to find a global superstar again," commented to star, who is expecting his first child with socialite Lauren Silverman.
"Despite all the rumours, ITV and the producers have not decided on the rest of the judging panel quite yet. You'll just have to wait and see." | <urn:uuid:36eae1e5-cf17-4081-b9e3-085754ba284c> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://us.hellomagazine.com/film/2014021317005/cheryl-cole-teases-fans-throwback-thursday-xfactor-photo/ | 2017-02-21T01:02:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170614.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00170-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9864 | 488 |
As a minority group, Toronto’s queer community is used to asking for more representation in politics, the workforce and beyond. It’s the all-too-familiar cry of the marginalized.
Yet there’s a little discussed area where the community’s numbers are strong, and it’s nothing to be proud of — homelessness among LGBT youth.
While LGBT people make up only about five percent of the general Canadian population, queer youth account for at least 20 percent of those using Toronto’s shelter system.
These numbers come from the city’s interim Street Needs Assessment report, released in September. And in fact, they’re on the conservative side. According to a 2013 study by the Canadian Homelessness Research Network, about 25 to 40 percent of homeless youth (ages 16 to 26) identify as LGBT.
The numbers point to a serious problem. But as is so often the case, facts and figures have a way of desensitizing us to the very real and very human issues at hand. It’s time we put faces and names to the LGBT homeless youth crisis in Toronto.

“I’m always constantly thinking of where I came from and how I got to where I am now.”
For Tyler Johnson, this journey has seen him through a group home, 14 different schools, discrimination at home and, eventually, homelessness.
Johnson’s troubles started early on. His mother gave birth to him when she was just 15, and his father became a part of his life only in Johnson’s mid-teens. Growing up, money was always an issue. “My family has always lived in poverty,” he says. “I’m trying to change that for myself.”
It’s an uphill battle for Johnson, who had the odds stacked against him. From age 10 to 12, he lived in an all-boys group home. He says that decision came as a result of behavioural issues. “I was just not a good child.”
Johnson needed a change of scenery. Surprisingly, it came at the hand of his paternal aunt and grandmother, though his father continued not to be present in his life. Johnson moved to Nova Scotia, where he stayed for three years and flourished, as his aunt was able to dedicate the time and resources his mother could not. The former troublemaker and bully quickly became an A student who was well liked by his peers.
The Nova Scotia experience ended when Johnson moved back in with his mother, this time in Woodstock, Ontario. Not one to stay in one spot long, he moved in with his estranged father in Toronto nearly two years later. This stay was short-lived, even by Johnson’s standards; after a few months, his stepmother kicked him out — because she found out he’s gay.
“I wouldn’t have been kicked out otherwise,” Johnson says confidently.
He doesn’t know how she found out, as he’s never made it a point to come out to anyone, and he has no clue what his father’s thoughts on the matter are. “I don’t know what his reaction was, other than he didn’t defend me.”
With nowhere to turn, Johnson, then only 15, was homeless.
In the beginning, he would kill as much time as possible in the break room at the McDonald’s where he worked. But eventually he had to leave, and so he would tuck in for the night on the stairs of an apartment building across the street.
At first he continued going to school, but soon the need for money saw him dropping out and taking on extra shifts. After two weeks of this, he decided to take refuge in a Scarborough shelter, but he says poor living conditions led him to pursue other shelter options within a month. When a friend mentioned Covenant House, located near Yonge and Gerrard streets, it sounded like an oasis.
“I’ve always liked discipline and structure,” says Johnson, adding that those elements were lacking in his home life. He got what he was looking for at Covenant House. They assigned him a “point person,” whom he checked in with twice a day. Staff also required that he be in the shelter’s job-search program, as he was out of school and had quit his job at McDonald’s because of the lengthy travel time and general stress of his situation.
Through the job-search program he participated in resumé clinics and mock interviews. Covenant House helped him eventually land a job as a lifeguard at Canada’s Wonderland.
But shelter rules bit him in the ass, too.
Shelter staff discharged him briefly when he spent money meant to stay in his savings. He says Covenant House expects that clients not spend their savings, as they believe the resources provided are sufficient and want to see clients build up funds for when they leave permanently.
Staff members did provide Johnson with a list of shelter options when they discharged him. The short time away made him appreciate Covenant House all the more. “There was a noticeable difference between shelters,” he says, claiming the differences lie in Covenant House’s emphasis on structure and its better funding. Indeed, more than 80 percent of the shelter’s funding comes from private donations, whereas the city primarily funds most other shelters in Toronto.
Covenant House’s Catholic roots also set it apart from other shelters, but, Johnson says, you wouldn’t know that from being there. He says there was no talk of religion during his stay, and he didn’t get the sense he was dealing with homophobic people. “If there was anything that was wrong, we could always go to staff.”
He did sometimes hear shelter clients casually throw around homophobic slurs but says he never witnessed a targeted physical or verbal attack. “I had a positive experience. I do know that there are some youth who have had a negative experience. I just never experienced that.”
Except when it came time to make the move to transitional housing.
Staff at Covenant House referred Johnson to a transitional housing facility in the west end. By this point he had returned to school, where he was, fortunately, behind by only a semester. But the extracurricular activities he was involved in often meant he missed curfew, which didn’t fly with staff members at the home. Add to that the fact that they had a no-cellphone policy and required clients to do chores, and it quickly became apparent this wasn’t the place for Johnson.
“Worst experience ever,” he says. It lasted only a month.
He then stayed with a friend for two weeks before finding a room to rent. Ontario Works funds covered the cost of rent, while his grandmother back in Nova Scotia pitched in $500 to $800 each month to help cover other expenses.
From there, life took a turn for the better. One of his teachers shared his story with Toronto District School Board trustee Chris Bolton, who is now chair of the board of trustees. Impressed by Johnson’s perseverance, Bolton offered him a co-op position as a constituency assistant.
“I’ve become someone who’s recognized as knowing the school board in and out,” Johnson says proudly.
In a full-circle moment, he had the opportunity to speak before Covenant House’s board of directors about a project the school board was looking into. While the project didn’t pan out, Covenant House invited him to be a spokesperson for the shelter after they found out he’s an alumnus. He gladly accepted the role.

No two experiences are identical.
Nakisha Millien moved to Toronto from Montreal in February 2012. She had aspirations of attending film school in the city, but when plans to room with friends didn’t work out, she found herself homeless.
As a result, she stayed at Covenant House for three months. To hear her describe it, however, it was anything but an oasis. “I felt like an outcast when I was staying there,” says Millien, who preferred not to have her photo taken.
She attributes this largely to her being out as a lesbian while she was there. She says that she felt hostility from certain staff members and shelter clients and that it was common to get “weird” looks and comments from young women who weren’t happy about rooming with a lesbian.
“Things like that would only happen when staff wasn’t around,” she says, as defamatory remarks are grounds for discharge.
To Millien, none of that compared to the threat of physical abuse gay men and trans people faced. One incident in particular stands out: she says she saw a man stab a trans woman at the shelter. She doesn’t know why it happened or what, if any, repercussions there were. All she knows is how it made her feel. “I was kind of scared for my own life,” she confesses.
Yet according to Carol Howes, director of program services at Covenant House, no one reported the incident. “We are not aware of any formal complaint around that,” she says, claiming that if a stabbing had occurred, it’s unlikely that staff wouldn’t have heard about it. “If someone had brought that forward, it would have been dealt with.”
In May 2012, having had enough of Covenant House, Millien moved to another Toronto shelter: Eva’s Phoenix. She stayed there for a year, but staff denied her application to extend her stay another year. She had three months to move and no job.
Fortunately, she soon got one at McDonald’s and was able to rent a room in the west end, where she still lives. She is taking part in a filmmaking program organized by a non-profit organization while she looks for employment and supports herself with savings.
She certainly wasn’t and isn’t living the dream, so why stay in Toronto? “I stayed because I wasn’t ready to leave,” she says. “I feel like me leaving is me giving up on this.”
“This” is Street Voices, a magazine that showcases the art and voices of Toronto’s street youth. Millien is the publication’s creative director.
She says the public doesn’t know that many street youth are incredibly talented or that the shelter system is seriously flawed. Street Voices aims to change that, and the team behind it is in the process of applying for grants. Millien is hopeful that the magazine will be one of several tools that will help reform the system.
“The system that’s running right now is not working, and there needs to be change,” she says.

Ryan Tremblay has seen for himself that the system needs changing. Struggles with mental health and drug use landed him in the shelter system; he was there on and off from the age of 18 to 20. He says his parents tried to help him but wouldn’t permit him to continue his destructive behaviour at home around his two younger brothers.
He says Toronto’s shelter system provided him with food and a roof as he battled his demons but little else. “When I was at my most desperate, the shelter system wasn’t there to help me the way that they could have.”
What finally did the trick were his family’s repeated attempts to help turn his life around. “I would have been dead if my family didn’t support me,” he says.
Having used the shelter system as a gay individual, he’s convinced queer youth have it particularly rough. “I saw the face of discrimination in these shelters,” he says. He decided to do something about it. Nine months ago, Tremblay started the Facebook group Youth for an LGBT Shelter in Toronto, with the intention of helping prompt the creation of such a shelter.
“Gay youth face a specific need set that isn’t currently being met by the system,” he says, noting that LGBT youth often confront prejudice from family and friends and discrimination in the workplace while grappling with a tendency for drug and alcohol abuse and a distinct form of self-hatred and potential for self-harm.
In his experience, it is shelter clients and not staff members who are discriminatory. He says that a fellow client physically attacked one of his gay male friends when he stayed at the Queen Street West YMCA Centre. According to Tremblay, shelter staff allowed the alleged assailant to return.
Jeanette Blair, manager of democratic living for the shelter, says she can’t comment on any specific incident because of confidentiality and privacy policies. Nonetheless, she admits that it’s tough for LGBT youth in the system. “We do see that there is violence against LGBT youth in our shelter and all shelters.”
But Blair says staff members intervene quickly if such situations come to their attention. It’s not always easy, however, because shelter clients often choose not to file complaints for fear of retaliation. “I think we do the best we can with the information that we have,” she says.
For the clients using the facilities, that’s not enough.
“To say you’re gay in a shelter is very scary,” says Tremblay, who believes a shelter meant specifically for LGBT youth would go a long way in doing away with that fear.
Tremblay and other members of his group have met to discuss goals and specifics for such a project. He says they’re being realistic and know that if this is to happen, it will take years and plenty of funds. Undeterred, one thing is clear to Tremblay: “Someone needs to stand up and do this.”
Status: Currently in transitional housing
If there’s a case study for the strides LGBT homeless youth can make when they band together, it’s that of Said Salim and his friends. They found community in one another and used that strength to push back against those harassing them.
This story takes place at the Queen Street West YMCA Centre, where Salim arrived in October 2012. For months before that he had been homeless with his mother and sister, whom he says had been abusive toward him.
At the beginning of his shelter stay, things were going relatively well. He re-enrolled in high school and finally had a place to live. But beginning in early summer of 2013, he says, it became hard to maintain a positive outlook because he and other queer-identified shelter residents became the targets of bullies.
He says it was typical for these bullies to go around calling young gay men “batty boys” and making gun gestures as they yelled, “Boom!” While Salim wasn’t usually the target, he says he often witnessed such incidents and did his part to stop them. He spoke to several staff members about what was going on, but he says they didn’t take his claims seriously.
So he did what he could to protect himself. “Fearing for my safety, I carried a rock around with me should things get physical,” he says. After he showed that rock to staff, he says, they finally realized the gravity of the situation.
By then, Salim was in his own group. Five LGBT-identified people and several allies had bonded over the incidents. With the support of one of these friends, Salim filed a complaint with staff even though he knew other clients would consider him a snitch for doing so — a label that can be very stigmatizing in a shelter setting.
As a result, he says, staff discharged one of the residents who had been making threats, which led to more tension. Eventually, the two groups called a truce and agreed that they would essentially ignore each other; the situation never became violent. Salim attributes this to his and his friends’ efforts to make it known that they would use the shelter complaints process and, if need be, the police to protect themselves.
Salim believes the fight ultimately brought a greater level of LGBT acceptance to the shelter. And despite the incidents, it was a summer of fun. Salim explored city parks with his new friends and even participated in the Pride parade. He says his experiences at the shelter allowed him to come out of his shell and blossom.
“To me, I considered it a huge evolution,” he says.
Salim left the shelter this past October and moved into transitional housing at the Sprott YMCA Centre, in the Annex neighbourhood.
“The issues of violence and harassment that are so common for LGB and trans youth in the shelter system are, by comparison, very rare in our transitional housing program,” says Blair, who also manages Sprott. She says this is because residents have their own rooms and bathrooms, an emphasis on privacy she believes should be system-wide.
At Sprott, Salim engages in such hobbies as playing the recorder and saxophone. He has no curfew and pays a small rent. He’s excelling in school and has learned he has an affinity for acting. “I’m happy,” he says.
“I went from a scared individual when I was living with my mother to someone who is out, loud and proud.”

Redemption is a journey, and sometimes you have to start right back at square one before you reach your destination.
That’s certainly the case for Ryan M, who is now in the shelter system for a second time. Ryan has asked that Xtra not disclose his last name because he does not want his employer to learn about his living arrangements.
Ryan’s first brush with homelessness occurred in 2011, when he says he had to drop out of university because he ran out of OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) funds. According to Ryan, relatives wanted to give him money, but his father wouldn’t allow it. He believes his sexuality, which he claims is a “major disappointment” for his father, had a lot to do with it.
“I think it removed a lot of the motivation to help me,” he says.
Out of school and out of funds, what came next is no surprise. “I didn’t have a job lined up, and I ended up in a shelter for two months,” he says.
His parents, who are divorced and living in Thunder Bay, knew of his situation and yet didn’t open their homes to him. Instead, he stayed at Turning Point Youth Services, on Wellesley Street near Jarvis, before moving into a boarding house for four months.
These were tough times for Ryan, who says he has bipolar disorder and has suffered from manic episodes. While staying at the boarding house, he had suicidal thoughts. “I was actually looking at places to jump off of,” he says. “I had picked the bridge.”
The only reason he didn’t go through with it, he says, is because around that same time he met someone he felt truly cared about him. Ryan, then 22, began dating a well-to-do 30-year-old. He says that while money was a motivating factor for his decision to get into the relationship, the emotional support he received was paramount as well. “It was a needs-based relationship,” he explains.
Ryan began staying over at his boyfriend’s place, and by February 2012 he had moved in and given up his boarding-house room. But after 10 months together, the relationship ended. “It was a very mutual breakup,” Ryan says. “I just wanted to be independent again.”
Independence meant moving into a North York basement apartment, which he was able to afford through his work refurbishing internet equipment. He continued to rely on his ex for emotional support.
He attributes the manic episode he had in May 2013 largely to this lack of closure. The episode coincided with his apartment flooding and an unreasonable landlady who kicked him out because of it. He spent most of the month that followed in a hostel. Two of those nights, however, he spent on the street when he wasn’t able to reserve a spot ahead of time.
Requiring more stability, he returned to Turning Point, this time staying for five months. He says that he mostly kept to himself at the shelter and that, other than being called a “fag” a few times, he didn’t face much homophobia while there. Yet he says it was harassment that led him to leave the shelter.
He claims that he became a target when he refused to move around some money for, and give up his bottom bunk to, a fellow shelter client. He says that person stole his glasses and placed pot hash and Zig-Zag rolling papers on his bed in an effort to get him kicked out.
When he told staff about this, Ryan says, they accused him of creating the problem by being too open about his willingness to work with staff. He says they also pointed the finger at him for running away from his problem instead of trying to resolve it, so he left for a different shelter. “I didn’t feel safe,” he says.
Turning Point did not respond to Xtra’s request for an interview.
Since January, Ryan has been staying at a North York shelter, which he says he likes a lot more than Turning Point because there are fewer people to a room and staff are able to better interact with clients.
Ryan was on a waiting list for transitional housing but has been told he’s not eligible because he has a full-time job. Even if he had landed a spot, he would have had to move out in May when he “ages out.” Most Toronto youth shelters admit only clients aged 16 to 24.
Fortunately, Ryan recently found a roommate and is set to move out of the shelter on May 1. He plans to continue saving money until then. “I came out of the system too early the first time around, and I didn’t have things set up,” he says. “I see myself as making use of resources so that the problem I had won’t happen again. And I think that should be the goal of the system.”
Many hope the Toronto shelter system, which is under review, will soon be revamped. The city recently passed a motion that will see the creation of an anti-discrimination framework and ensure shelter staff members are trained in responding to trauma. A working group made up of community partners and service providers is also looking into the feasibility of creating a shelter for LGBT youth.
“Both those requested items are very proactive,” says Kristyn Wong-Tam, the Ward 27 councillor who spearheaded the motion. She expects the group to come up with a working plan that addresses the overrepresentation of LGBT youth in the shelter system. The group will report back in the second quarter of this year.
Wong-Tam hopes the group’s findings will support her planned funding request for an LGBT youth shelter in the 2015 budget. It’s still early days, but she sees the best possible solution as using community fundraising efforts and city money to make improvements to an already existing city-owned building.
Covenant House is one of the participating organizations in the group. The shelter has done its own research into the matter, and the results only solidify claims that LGBT youth are overrepresented in the system. Howes says that in January 2012 and 2013, Covenant House surveyed 100 clients and asked several questions, including how they self-identify. Both times, about 25 percent of those surveyed identified as LGBT. “Those numbers are understated,” says Howes, who believes many youth don’t feel comfortable disclosing that information. “In street culture, anything that makes you different makes you a target, too.”
But the differences that make queer youth stand out from their heterosexual counterparts would be the norm in a dedicated LGBT shelter.
While Wong-Tam believes such a shelter will come to be — and she supports it — she wants more. She wants to see the whole system overhauled. “I think certain members of the community want a quick fix and they want this one shelter.” But, she warns, “there is no silver bullet.”
Shawn Fowler, a sexual health counsellor at the Hassle Free Clinic who also works at the 519 Church Street Community Centre, thinks such a shelter is a “no brainer,” but he’s not looking for a Band-Aid solution. He sees it as part of the solution to a much larger problem. “We see a number of clients who are street involved or street active,” he says. Because of their circumstances, it’s hard to follow up with these clients, and he says many “fall through the cracks.”
“These conditions aren’t optimal for maintaining health,” he says.
Fowler is concerned about what, if any, healthcare services the “most marginalized youth in the downtown core” are accessing in the aftermath of two major closures — Shout Clinic and Street Outreach Services (SOS).
In 2011, Shout Clinic, which provides services for homeless and street-involved youth, moved from its former location near Jarvis and Wellesley streets to the Queen West area. A few months later, SOS, which provided community services for youth engaged in the sex trade, also closed its doors.
Fowler says that if Toronto does get a designated LGBT youth shelter, it’s important that it have a solid relationship with a good health centre. And he believes that this shelter should be located near other LGBT resources — if not in the Village, then elsewhere downtown. “I think community is important,” he says. “There’s comfort in numbers, and there’s safety in numbers.”
Not everyone, however, is a fan of building yet another downtown shelter.
“Homelessness doesn’t just happen in downtown Toronto,” says James Bar, an associate junior planner. “Gay people don’t just live in downtown Toronto.”
In 2013, Bar analyzed how urban planning can have a hand in remediating the issue of LGBT youth homelessness. He says decision-makers need to understand the issues before moving to enact policy, at which point they can work toward guaranteeing funding. “We can’t write policy and enact actions without knowing what is going on,” he says.
Bar says wards 27 and 28 already have an oversaturation of social-housing units, so he expects opposition to the idea of creating another shelter there. “There’s stigmas between shelters and what they’ll bring to a neighbourhood,” he says. He claims people associate shelters with drug and alcohol problems and feel they lower property values.
He concedes, however, that because of the entire GTA’s ease of access to the two wards, they are the most likely candidates to house such a shelter. “Chances are if we did put in a shelter, it would be in this area.”
Whether we see such a shelter in the near future or not, Bar says there is plenty to concentrate on in the meantime. “The next step is to look inside what we’ve already created and find out how we can make it work better.”
That’s where the working group comes in. The city’s Shelter, Support & Housing Administration division (SSHA) will be reviewing the current envelope of training related to LGBT issues in consultation with the group.
At present, shelter staff members must attend anti-oppression training within the first year of their employment. But the city developed this curriculum in 2002, and many feel it does not deal adequately with issues of LGBT sensitivity. Staff can attend Trans Awareness Training 101, which is offered through the Hostels Training Centre in partnership with The 519, but this is not mandatory.
The city requires that all shelters have a complaints process in place and that staff inform clients of this upon admission. And yet despite this, there have been “no formal complaints or incident reports concerning homophobia or transphobia issues,” according to SSHA. Something’s clearly amiss, as Xtra’s investigation alone highlights.
The complaints process and other identified areas of concern within the shelter system will be matters of public comment should plans for a dedicated LGBT youth shelter move forward. Along with calls for public consultation, there will be calls for financial donations. For her part, Wong-Tam feels confident that the community will respond.
“Our community has always risen to the challenge to try and improve the conditions for ourselves,” she says.
Time will tell if this will be the case once again. | <urn:uuid:5991d8c9-be86-4c5f-93e5-ae29c842d8de> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://www.dailyxtra.com/raising-the-roof-on-queer-youth-homelessness-in-toronto-59554 | 2018-04-25T02:52:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125947690.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20180425022414-20180425042414-00285.warc.gz | en | 0.984488 | 6,155 |
The Associated Press
Baylor wide receivers Tevin Reese (16) and Terrance Williams (2) celebrate in the end zone following Williams' touchdown reception in the first half of the game against TCU Saturday, Oct. 13 in Waco, Texas.
After former TCU quarterback Casey Pachall withdrew from the University last week, Baylor fans were already putting a check in the win column for the Bears.
But four interceptions and a pair of fumbles later, it was obvious things weren’t going as planned.
A win looked promising after a long touchdown pass from senior quarterback Nick Florence to senior wide receiver Terrance Williams 26 seconds into the game, but a lack of rhythm offensively and a need for defensive stops allowed TCU to carry the game away.
After the game junior nickelback Ahmad Dixon was asked what the defense was going to do in practice to prepare for Saturday’s matchup against Texas.
“We’re just going to go back to the basics,” said Dixon.
His response was met by a firm question from the media, “Wasn’t that what you did on the bye week?”
True, that’s what we had heard the team was doing but it didn’t turn out quite right.
With Baylor’s conference slate well underway, a loss like that was enough to set a spark under the Bears toward a better outcome at Texas.
This matchup has been a toss-up ever since the beginning of the season: both teams have things to prove offensively and teams to stop defensively.
While Texas wins the defensive battle on paper, Baylor wins on the offensive side.
Even after an uncharacteristic four interceptions last weekend, Florence leads the nation in total offense with 404.4 yards per game and ranks No. 2 nationally in passing yards per game (374.8) and quarterback rating (176.6).
“The thing we have to remember about Nick [Florence] is that he really hasn’t played that many football games,” Briles said. “We look at him like he is a really experienced quarterback, but his actual game-time experience is not that much.”
Surrounding him are four talented wide receivers: seniors Terrance Williams, Lanear Sampson, Darryl Stonum and junior Tevin Reese.
Williams leads the nation with 166 receiving yards per game.
The ground game for Baylor features senior running back Jarred Salubi, who could put up big numbers while facing a Texas defense that has struggled to defend the run. Texas has allowed 209.17 rushing yards per game, 103rd in the nation in that category.
Junior Glasco Martin and sophomore transfer Lache Seastrunk, from Oregon, could also see playing time and add diversity to the Bears’ running game.
One prominent statistic to Baylor’s wins and losses so far this season is the turnover margin.
During the team’s three-game win streak to open the season, Baylor’s defense forced 10 takeaways and lost only four turnovers, a plus-1.5 per-game margin.
However, during the past two games the Bears haven’t forced any takeaways and have lost seven turnovers, a negative-3.5 per-game margin.
Defensively, Baylor is dead last in the NCAA FBS, allowing 558.8 yards per game.
In order for the Bears to win this ball game, they must win the turnover battle.
When that happens, Florence and the offense find a rhythm that puts points on the board and keeps the defense on the sideline for a little while longer.

The European Commission plans to set “tough new standards” to regulate the operation of UAVs, known as remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) in Europe, before they are more widely introduced into unrestricted airspace in 2016. The standards will cover safety, security, privacy, data protection, insurance and liability, the commission said.
“Civil drones are increasingly being used in Europe, in countries such as Sweden, France and the UK, in different sectors, but under a fragmented regulatory framework,” the commission said on April 8. “Basic national safety rules apply, but the rules differ across the European Union and a number of key safeguards are not addressed in a coherent way.”
In a statement accompanying the announcement, Siim Kallas, the commission’s vice president for mobility and transport, said: “[M]any people, including myself, have concerns about the safety, security and privacy issues relating to these devices…If ever there was a right time to do this, and to do this at a European level, it is now.”
In December 2013, the European Council asked the commission to develop a regulatory framework for safely introducing RPAS into European civil airspace beginning in 2016. The commission plans to conduct an “in-depth impact assessment” this year to examine the associated issues and then propose legislation to the European Parliament. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the commission’s technical advisor, will develop EU-wide standards based on the principle that RPAS should operate to an equivalent level of safety as manned aircraft. EASA will also develop security requirements “to protect information streams” and propose for RPAS operators, air traffic controllers and others legal obligations that will be enforced by national authorities.
Independent of the commission’s announcement, Spain’s State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) issued a policy memo on April 7 stating that it “is not permitted and never has been” to operate RPAS commercially in that country to perform aerial work. The agency said it is collaborating with industry to develop a regulation that will establish a new classification for RPAS, the conditions under which they can operate, and requirements for certification, manufacture, maintenance and operation of civil unmanned aircraft.
“We must emphasize that drones are aircraft. As such, they are subject to legislation currently in force in Spain [for] general aviation, as well as the rest of regulatory aeronautics,” the AESA memo reads, according to a translation. “There is the mistaken belief, in that layer of airspace that extends from the ground up to 400 feet, you can fly with these devices without restrictions.” | <urn:uuid:ec5267e3-d31b-4ae7-92b2-d37e90e2ae56> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/2014-04-10/european-commission-vows-tough-regulation-uavs | 2016-07-30T13:47:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257836399.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071036-00075-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952569 | 555 |

LOWELL -- Completion of a land swap that has been called critical to the Hamilton Canal District project has been pushed back by more than a year, according to the city.
The land swap is needed in order for the city to develop parcels along Dutton Street now owned by the National Park Service, but the city must first finalize a plan for where to replace parking for visitor buses.
A delay in the land swap will push back construction of a 980-space parking garage in the Hamilton Canal District that is seen as a needed piece in place before large-scale development can begin. Construction of the $30 million garage won't start until the swap is complete.
In another new turn for the Hamilton Canal District, City Manager Kevin Murphy said this week that the city is planning to now build a second parking garage somewhere in the development or nearby. The second garage is needed for a planned courthouse complex and an expansion of the Lowell Community Health Center, he said.
News of the land-swap delay was included in a report to the City Council presented Tuesday. It came a day after announcement of a $2.5 million federal grant that will pay for a bridge linking the Dutton Street and Jackson Street sides of the district, which has been called vital to access through the development.
As of early 2015, a date of January 2016 was given for when participants in the swap would complete necessary steps, and approvals would be in hand.
Several city councilors expressed concern at the delay.
"That time frame continues to slip," Councilor Rodney Elliott said. "It literally took an act of Congress to do that land swap."
Murphy portrayed the delay as not significant to the Hamilton Canal District. He said he hopes that construction of the new garage could coincide with building the new bridge and related utility infrastructure and road work. That work isn't expected to start until next spring.
The second parking garage could be built somewhere in the district or potentially as an addition to the nearby Early garage on Jackson Street. City planners hope to present a plan to the council in the next few months, Murphy said.
The land swap has been called an important piece by city officials in getting the project moving forward.
In the swap, the city would receive the land where the Lowell National Historical Park parking lot now sits off Dutton Street. In exchange, the park will receive dedicated spots in the planned 980-space garage. It will also be allowed to park large tour buses for visitors just off the exit driveway from the Gallagher Terminal.
Councilor Bill Samaras asked that key players in the land swap meet with the council's economic development subcommittee, which he chairs, in order to give more details about what tasks are ahead.
The deal has gone all the way to the White House, with President Obama signing off in 2012. Remaining work includes several procedural steps by the city and federal agencies.
The federal government must complete permitting work for the site where Lowell National Historical Park buses will go, for example, and the city has to complete environmental site assessments for the tour bus site and the new parking garage site.

I’m a tad late to this discussion, but I think it’s still pertinent today—perhaps even more so—and Jordi Boggiano’s recent post, “ Common files in PHP packages ,” got me thinking about the lack of open source licenses in public repositories.
In his post, Jordi explains how he analyzed all packages at Packagist , specifically for the sake of identifying common file names developers are using for their change logs. As part of that analysis, he was also able to tell how many projects have a license file, about which he writes:
55% [of PHP packages at Packagist] have a LICENSE file, that’s.. pretty disastrous but hopefully a lot of those that don’t at least indicate in the README and composer.json
In a 2013 analysis of software licenses on Github, Aaron Williamson, then Senior Staff Counsel at the Software Freedom Law Center, found that 14.9% of repositories had a top-level license file, while 3.7% only announce the license in the project’s README. Of the top licenses, he noted that there has been a significant shift since 2000 in favor of more permissive licenses (MIT, BSD, etc.) and surmises this could be the result of “corporate influence/allergy to GPL” or a reaction against the GPL, favoring “freedom of developer over freedom of users.” Why are so few repositories adding open source licenses?
Luis Villa posits it might be because developers are rejecting permission culture.
The open license ecosystem assumes that sharing can’t (or even shouldn’t) happen without explicit permission in the form of licenses. What if “post open source” is an implicit critique of that assumption – saying, in essence, “I reject the permission culture”?
So, when James Governor posted in September 2012 his sentiment about younger developers being about “post open source software,” it was perhaps a bit of tongue-in-cheek crotchety cane-shaking about a cultural shift in developer attitudes toward open source and the need to grant permission.
younger devs today are about POSS – Post open source software. fuck the license and governance, just commit to github.
— Rising Abovit (@monkchips) September 17, 2012
If we’re in a post-open source era and open source licenses represent permission granted to use one’s code, then is this era marked by a reaction against the need for that permission? After all, the “younger devs” grew up in a post-Napster world full of DRM, EULAs, IP/copyright lobbyists, and legalspeak about what we can and cannot do with the content and software we’ve purchased. Open source licenses are yet another way to proliferate that permission culture. It’s no wonder there’s a backlash against the need for licenses.
In Lawrence Lessig’s 2004 book Free Culture , Lessig warned:
Free cultures are cultures that leave a great deal open for others to build upon; unfree, or permission, cultures leave much less. Ours was a free culture. It is becoming much less so.
Are open source licenses just another manifestation of the shift to a permission culture and away from a free culture? While companies have embraced open source software and many contribute back to open source projects under a variety of permissive licenses, I can’t help but feel that open source is losing its soul. These days, I don’t hear people talking about it as a philosophy. Rather, the focus is always on licensing and business cases—the permission to use it.
What do you think? Do open source licenses propagate permission culture? Are we in a post-open source era? | <urn:uuid:c56ad627-76a1-4bbb-a41c-2f53623acb82> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | http://www.shellsec.com/news/14177.html | 2019-03-20T07:01:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202303.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20190320064940-20190320090940-00260.warc.gz | en | 0.928572 | 805 |
Watson Files FDA Application for Generic YAZ
CORONA, Calif., November 07, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. , a leading specialty pharmaceutical company, today confirmed that it has filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval to market a generic version of YAZ(R) tablets prior to the expiration of patents owned by Bayer Schering Pharma AG and Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Bayer). Bayer filed suit against Watson on November 5, 2007 in the U.S. District Court, District of Nevada, seeking to prevent Watson from commercializing its product prior to the expiration of patents numbered 6,787,531, RE 37,564 and RE 37,838. Bayer's suit was filed under the provisions of the Hatch Waxman Act, resulting in a stay of FDA approval of Watson's ANDA for 30 months or until final resolution of the matter before the court, whichever occurs sooner.
YAZ(R) (drosperinone and ethinyl estradiol tablets) is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy.
Any statements contained in this press release that refer to future events or other non-historical facts are forward-looking statements that reflect Watson's current perspective of existing trends and information as of the date of this release. Except as expressly required by law, Watson disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from Watson's current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting Watson's business. These factors include, among others, patents and other intellectual property rights held by competitors and other third parties and the uncertainty of the outcome of litigation related to such patents and intellectual property rights; the impact of competitive products and pricing; market acceptance of and continued demand for Watson's products; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in Watson's periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to Watson's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
YAZ(R) is a registered trademark of Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

This report is the third and final output of a ten-year international research project
studying the costs and viability of long-life road pavement surfacings. It describes
the results of tests conducted with epoxy asphalt and high performance cementitious
materials (HPCM) on real road sections in France, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
The project was initiated to address a growing problem for road administrations and
road users: frequent closures of roadways for repairs and repaving as a result of
surface pavements that have improved but still barely kept up with increased loads
and traffic density. | <urn:uuid:478d0b40-7bf4-4af5-a8a6-a6cb308a83a2> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.oecd.org/regional/long-life-surfacings-for-roads-9789282108116-en.htm | 2019-06-26T05:54:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000175.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626053719-20190626075719-00283.warc.gz | en | 0.949257 | 124 |

EXCLUSIVE: I’m told that Sony Pictures Classics is near a deal to distribute Hysteria, the Tanya Wexler-directed romantic comedy based on the surprising truth of how Mortimer Granville came up with the world’s first electro-mechanical vibrator as an advance in medical science. The film created a — wait for it — buzz when it premiered September 15 at Roy Thomson Hall. Hugh Dancy, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jonathan Pryce, Rupert Everett and Felicity Jones star in the film. Samuel Goldwyn Films and Millennium also chased the title. Sony Pictures Classics partners Michael Barker and Tom Bernard have this evening’s opening-night film of the New York Film Festival with the premiere of Carnage, the Roman Polanski-directed feature adaptation of Yasmina Reza’s Tony-winning play. Polanski shot the film in Paris, with Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly starring. Hysteria was repped by Cassian Elwes and Elle Driver.

When you were a kid, did you ever eat a lemon ice during the dead of summer? Maybe at the baseball field or swimming pool? Recently the smokahz at WeedStrain.com came across some serious Cali Lemon Kush that reminded us of years past. We felt the heat of the sun on our face and melted under the sweet, citrusy flavor. Throw in a little earthiness, hints of fresh grass, and tones of lemon and sugar, and you end up with Lemon Kush, one of the most well-rounded buds the staff of WeedStrain.com has ever toked.
Take note of the trichome density and the intensely contrasting red hair and green leaf. This bud provides a high you can work to. It’s bud you can smoke and not feel awkward talking to a client, your mum or even a hooker. Mainly because you don’t feel much at all.
Get to your local connexion and get the hook up on Cali Lemon Kush. If you don’t have a place to get Cali Lemon Kush, then move. | <urn:uuid:6d975e7d-fb00-4b17-a861-7116689b0ee8> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://weedstrain.com/cali-lemon-kush/ | 2014-10-31T19:04:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637900160.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025820-00193-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.938735 | 228 |

Well, it is Wednesday again, the day when we are supposed to show the world our desks, and all that we have been doing over the past week. We display them over at Julia's hub at Stamping Ground.
As you can see, the only desk getting any attention at the moment is my outdoor desk, i.e the garden. After all, when you get beautiful sunshine after such a soggy period of time (can't really call it Winter, more like a monsoon), you just have to get out there and do as much as possible.
I had been out and about and round some of the local garden centres at the end of last week, and these beauties were the result of that shopping trip. Most of them hold happy memories for me for differing reasons. The lovely blue scabious was chosen because it attracts insects various, but also because it reminds me of so many holidays in the sunshine down in Cornwall, where they grow wild everywhere.
I love daffodils, but I cannot have the tall elegant ones in this area as the wind swirls madly round my patio area, so I have to be satisfied with the miniature version, but they are still so pretty.
Pansies have always been a favourite flower. When I was young, I managed to plant the whole or our front garden with pansies of all colours. I would collect the seed and sow that in any gaps, so they interbred and produced a fantastic variety. Their faces are so lovely and take me back to a book I had when I was quite small. It was a story made up about pansies as characters. I do wish I could find that again, but no-one else seems to have heard of that book.
Just looking at the vivid blue of this one makes me happy. I have also found a strain of pansies which are perfumed, so I am waiting for those to arrive and add to my collection.
Proper wild flowers are special too. Real native cowslips and primroses are so evocative of my childhood. I know there are loads of lovely colours of polyanthus, but I don't like them in my garden. I prefer the true soft colour of the primrose, the flower that should be given on Mothering Sunday. If you want to know about how Mothering Sunday came about, go to my post from last year on its origins - Mothering Sunday or Mother's Day
I have been out again today to a different garden centre and found a load of cowslips and primroses - tiny plants that can be slotted into a small space to settle in ready for next year.
Another old favourite of mine are the old fashioned anemones, the ones that look like a bundle of rags until they open in the sunshine, and turn into the most beautifully coloured open flowers. I bought those as a trial to see if they would grow and settle into the raised beds.
I have loads more plants on order to fill these beds and the ones you cannot see, and the extra ones I am having built. My intention is to fill the beds totally and plant so tightly that there is no room for weeds to come through. That might eventually give me extra crafting time, always a bonus in my book. All I need now is another couple of dry days and I might get the lawn cut.
While I am doing that, you might like to pop over to Julia's and see who else has lovely things to show this week. Have a good week, wherever you are. | <urn:uuid:e94247ec-08bc-40c0-a477-7e6b91865189> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://silvercrafter.blogspot.com/2014/03/woyww-249-my-outdoor-desk.html | 2017-06-25T17:26:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320545.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625170634-20170625190634-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.974817 | 727 |
With Charlie Sheen taking his one-man show on the road, I wanted to share a letter to Sheen’s counsel signed by Munger Tolles partner John Spiegel.
Rarely do we get a chance to read a letter from a former Supreme Court clerk about something this juicy.
So long as the facts don’t make you blush, consider these seven style techniques:
1. Parallel sequence
Warner Bros. would not, could not, and should not attempt to continue “business as usual” while Mr. Sheen destroys himself as the world watches.
… no professional apparently was willing to attest that Mr. Sheen had self-treated, self-healed, and self-cured his brain of his addiction problems.
2. Using “and so” rather than “therefore,” “consequently,” or even “thus”
As Mr. Sheen was aware, some lead time was required to restart production and so it was scheduled to resume February 28.
3. A dash for emphasis
Press reports described the trip as a three-day bender, and noted that Mr. Sheen was seen drinking the morning of his return, January 11—the same day he was scheduled to begin rehearsing that week’s episode of the Show.
4. A fragment to add variety
You claim that Mr. Sheen was turning in “brilliant” performances during this time. Not true.
5. A sentence of all one-syllable words
As bad as all this was, the worst was yet to come.
6. Letting your opponents’ words speak for themselves, without gloating or other commentary
Mr. Sheen recently stated in an interview that the last time he used drugs, he “probably took more than anybody could survive. I was banging seven gram rocks [of cocaine] and finishing them. That’s the way I roll.”
7. Fleshing out a series through bullet points
For example, Mr. Sheen called Mr. Lorre a “contaminated little maggot,” a “retarded zombie” and a “turd.” He also stated that he wishes Mr. Lorre “nothing but pain” and that he has “defeated this earthworm with my words—imagine what I could have done with my fire breathing fists.” [A]mong many other bizarre comments, Mr. Sheen has proclaimed:
- “I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. . . . If you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.”
- “I have tiger blood” and “Adonis DNA.”
- My brain “fires in a way that is . . . maybe not from this particular terrestrial realm.”
- “I’m not bipolar but biwinning.”
- “I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars.”
I won’t even try to top that last line. Happy writing! | <urn:uuid:1c13a3a9-a0b3-487d-94bf-e0ba1c736443> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.legalwritingpro.com/articles/charlie-sheen-letter/ | 2023-02-01T19:50:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499949.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230201180036-20230201210036-00273.warc.gz | en | 0.976649 | 675 |
[K6ARK] likes to operate portable, so he puts together very lightweight antennas. One of his latest uses tiny toroids and SMD capacitors to form trap elements. You can see the construction of it in the video below.
You usually think of toroid winding as something you do when building transmitters or receivers, especially small ones like these. We presume the antenna is best for QRP (low power) operation since the tiny core would saturate pretty quickly at higher power. Exactly how much power you should pass through an FT50-43 core depends on the exact application, but we’ve seen numbers around 5 watts.
[Kadah]’s solution for storing short tapes of SMT parts is as attractive as it is clever. The small 3D-printed “tape reels” can double as dispensers, and stack nicely onto each other thanks to the sockets for magnets. The units come in a few different sizes, but are designed to stack in a consistent way.
We love the little touches such as recessed areas for labels, and the fact that the parts can print without supports (there are a couple of unsupported bridges, but they should work out fine.) Also, the outer dimensions of the units are not an accident. They have been specifically chosen to nestle snugly into the kind of part drawers that are a nearly ubiquitous feature of every hardware hacker’s work bench.
STLs are provided for handy download but [Kadah] also provides the original Fusion 360 design file, with all sizes defined as easily-customized parameters. In addition, [Kadah] thoughtfully provided each model in STEP format as well, making it easy to import and modify in almost any 3D CAD program.
The Snowy Owl is the rebel of owls. They live in the north near arctic regions of the world, and unlike other owls, they are active during the day instead of the night. Owls in general are pretty great, which is why this Snowy Owl version of the Surface Mount Device 0201 soldering challenge kit caught my eye.
For this challenge, the resistors on the back of the owl have been changed to a 0201 packages for an additional level of difficulty. These are cellphone-level miniaturization so it will be a challenge. A dual inverter NL27WZ04 is used to implement the ring oscillator, which drives the blinking LEDs.
At Hackaday, we’re constantly impressed by the skill and technique that goes into soldering up some homebrew creations. We’re not just talking about hand-soldering 80-pin QFNs without a stencil, either: there are people building charlieplexed LED arrays out of bare copper wire, and using Kynar wire for mechanical stability. There are some very, very talented people out there, and they all work in the medium of wire, heat, and flux.
The kit in question was an SMD Challenge Kit put together my MakersBox, and consisted of a small PCB, an SOIC-8 ATtiny, and a LED and resistor for 1206, 0805, 0603, 0402, and 0201 sizes. The contest is done in rounds. Six challengers compete at a time, and everyone is given 35 minutes to complete the kit.
[Andrzej Laczewski] has something big in mind for small parts, specifically SMD resistors and capacitors. He’s not talking much about that project, but from the prototype 3D-printed bowl feeder he built as part of it, we can guess that it’s going to be a pretty cool automation project.
Bowl feeders are common devices in industrial automation, used to take a big pile of parts like nuts and bolts and present them to a process one at a time, often with some sort of orientation step so that all the parts are the right way around. They accomplish this with a vibratory action through two axes, which [Andrzej] accomplishes with the 3D-printed ABS link arms supporting the bowl.
To fight the shakes, you can do one of two things: remove the human, or improve the human. Unable to justify a pick and place robot for the former, [Tom] opted to build a quick hand support for surface-mount work, and the results are impressive considering it’s built entirely of scrap.
It’s just a three-piece arm with standard butt hinges for joints; mounted so the hinge pins are perpendicular to the work surface and fitted with a horizontal hand rest, it constrains movement to a plane above the PCB. A hole in the hand rest for a small vacuum tip allows [Tom] to pick up a part and place it on the board — he reports that the tackiness of the solder paste is enough to remove the SMD from the tip.
Face it — you want a reflow oven. Even the steadiest hands and best eyes only yield “meh” results with a manual iron on SMD boards, and forget about being able to scale up to production. But what controller should you use when you build your oven, and what features should it support? Don’t worry…
Dubbed the Reflowduino for obvious reasons, Timothy Woo’s Hackaday Prize entry has everything you need in a reflow oven controller, and a few things you never knew you needed.
In the course of attending a lot of fairs and exhibitions, we’ve noticed that our cameras and components attract the attention of people from all walks of life. We’ve found that despite our reassurances, people discovering the world of Open Hardware tend to doubt their capabilities where soldering tiny components by hand is concerned.
This is why we hold Surface Mount Technology workshops – so that with a little confidence, the right tools and some initial guidance from members of our team, anyone can have great fun learning to make their own PCBs. The workshops are very popular and we have visitors designing pendants and earrings with colour LEDs and blinking patterns – which always creates a buzzing atmosphere. | <urn:uuid:c8a02b90-0f9d-4db9-bede-1ef2bd351f16> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://blog.oshpark.com/tag/smd/ | 2020-11-30T15:08:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141216175.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20201130130840-20201130160840-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.945188 | 1,268 |
When the government first introduced this pre-tax investment plan, it was merely meant to be an extra way to subsidize your income in retirement. There used to be a time when many people could rely on a pension from their work to help supplement their Social Security checks in retirement. Unfortunately, sometimes that just wasn’t enough. So the 401k was born.
Today, hardly any of us have a pension, and quite a few of us will most likely never receive the full benefits of social security, if any. And so the three legged stool has now become a stump, which is why it is VERY important that we now make the most of our 401k investment accounts.
Unfortunately, many individuals are not funding their account with as much money as they should, they are paying large fees, and their returns are bleak. They obviously need some help.
Seek Financial Advice
Like some of you, I have friends in medicine, law, and engineering who are very smart when it comes to their field of expertise — but they struggle with the concept of financial investments. Sure, they may have a 401k through their work, but they don’t really understand how much of their money is going toward fees or transaction costs, and how this is hurting them dearly in the long run. Did you know that the average investor will likely pay out over $150,000 in fees over the course of their lifetime? The truth is, people who don’t know how a 401k really operates are probably letting a lot of money slip through their fingers.
In order to get a better grasp on your 401k (and any other investment you may have), many people seek out professional financial advice from a trusted financial advisor. FutureAdvisor is just one example. They offer free financial advice online which shows you how to optimize your investment portfolio. The advice and recommendation is free, and you can also hire them to do everything for you for just one-half a percent (0.5%). That’s pretty competitive compared to the rates I’ve seen other financial advisors charge.
When it comes to advice, transparency is extremely important — I like that FutureAdvisor’s recommendations are always backed up with detailed, easy-to-understand information. Here’s a screenshot of their breakdown — it showed me exactly what trades to make and why:

When people hear about internet marketing, they generally think of two of the more accepted methods that a company can use to increase its visibility on the Web: organic search engine optimization – SEO and pay-per-click advertising – PPC.
In an ideal world, you would use both appropriately to make the most of your site’s profile. However, budgetary limitations often make this unfeasible, and trying to do both on an inadequate budget and with minimal resources can result in neither campaign constructing ideal results. In this case, it’s usually better to ponder on one or the other. But which is best for you?
Organic Search Engine Optimization – SEO
Organic search engine optimization campaigns present quite a lot of distinct advantages over pay-per-click advertising campaigns, as many contemporary studies have shown. Below is a brief of some of the findings.
Tendency to Click
Available statistics on Search results indicates people are less likely to click on paid search ads rather than on results from organic search engine optimization. For example, one study found that search users are six times more likely to click on the first few organic results than click on paid results, while an eye catching analysis showed that 50 percent of users begin their search by scanning the top organic results and only 30 percent of search engine users click on paid listings, leaving an overwhelming 70 percent who are clicking the organic listings And a 2005 study found that 85 percent of searchers report clicking on paid links in less than 40 percent of all of their searches, and 78 percent of all respondents assert that they found the information they we searching for through sponsored links just 40 percent of the time.
Studies are commencing to show that the conviction level for organic results is much higher than that of paid results, and that paid results are looked upon as an ache by some searchers. One study found that only 14 percent of searchers trust paid listings, and 29 percent report being “annoyed” by them. Frankly, it’s not generally a good idea to distress potential customers before they even click on your link.
Value of Search Visitors
Organic search engine results are to be likely as non- prejudiced, and they therefore are able to provide visitors that are more valuable. The overall conversion rate, or the rate at which searchers take a preferred action on a website, is 17 percent more for unpaid search results than the rate for paid (4.2% vs. 3.6%). Statistics also have shown that more of the sales that result from search engines invented in organic search listings.
Visitors Becoming More Conscious of Pay-Per-Click as Advertising
As more and more people turn to the Internet to do research and information, more searchers are becoming aware of paid results as an internet marketing tool. One web analysis showed that not only are 38 percent of searchers aware of the distinction between paid and unpaid results, 54 percent are aware of the distinction on Google, which is widely recognized as the most popular search engine
Pay-Per-Click Costs Rising
Meanwhile, pay-per-click costs are rising steadily. Between October 2008 and December 2009, average keyword prices rose from around $25 to just under $155. And the cost of keywords can increase by as much as 100 percent during the holiday season. These costs aren’t going unnoticed either; one study of problems experienced by U.S. companies found that 57 percent of respondents felt that their desired keywords were “too expensive,” while 51 percent expressed concern that they are overpaying for certain keywords. On the other hand, when you outsource to an organic search engine optimization firm, your costs will likely remain more stable than the prices for pay-per-click advertising.
Long Term Results
While a pay-per-click campaign may generate results more fast than an organic search engine optimization campaign, organic search engine optimization campaigns can give you results that last long. When the budget runs out for a pay-per-click campaign, or when your company decides that the pay-per-click campaign should be concluded, the results end as well. With organic search engine optimization, the optimized site content and other changes made to your site can have an impact on your search results until the next change in a search engine’s algorithm, or possibly even beyond.
Users also have rated organic search engine results as more appropriate than paid results. On Google, 72.3 percent felt that organic results were more relevant, while only 27.7 percent rated paid results as more relevant. Yahoo offered similar results, with 60.8 calling organic results relevant compared to only 39.2 percent for paid
While the above trends may make organic search engine optimization seem the clear choice in all cases, in certain situations it actually can make more sense to do pay-per-click advertising. For those looking for fast results on a small budget, a pay-per-click campaign may be the answer.
As formerly stated, the results from pay-per-click advertising are instant. On the other hand, an organic search engine optimization campaign may take up to three months or more for results to be apparent. In this case, pay-per-click is beneficial for those who are looking to endorse an initiative that will go live in a short amount of time, or whose business is seasonal in nature and who only do promotion during certain months of the year.
Small businesses with tremendously tight budgets may find that pay-per-click is a better investment than organic search engine optimization because a pay-per-click campaign will almost always cost less – good search engine optimization companies simply do not work for $100 per month. By limiting a campaign’s key phrases to highly specific terms relevant to a company’s business, there will not be a large amount of traffic generated, but the traffic that is generated will be specific to the desired result. Plus, choosing such specific phrases can make them less expensive on a per click basis. Moreover, in niche markets with a high average dollar sale, where there’s not a great amount of search activity because the prospect pool is limited, it may not make sense to engage a quality organic search engine optimization firm at several thousand dollars per month when you can instead buy varying niche-specific key phrases and generate traffic in that way.
Easier to Handle In-House
Non-complicated pay-per-click campaigns can be handled much more easily in-house than an organic search engine optimization campaign. Such campaigns generally involve business to business and high-end, service oriented companies, not those geared toward a large consumer base. Since organic search engine optimization requires a steep learning curve and since there are so many questionable tactics that can put a site at risk of penalization (the tactics that neophytes to search engine optimization are likely to use), it may make more sense to run a pay-per-click campaign. Since you are dealing directly with the engine, i.e., Yahoo Search Marketing and Google AdWords, you don’t need to pay a middleman, and these sites offer helpful tutorials on how to use pay-per-click marketing. Perhaps most importantly, the concept of pay-per-click is much easier to grasp and understand at the outset.
Most organic search engine optimization campaigns require a contract of a certain length because SEO companies know that meaningful results will rarely happen overnight. When dealing with an in-house pay-per-click campaign, obviously a contract is not an issue. But in general, even when you are dealing with an agency, you will not tend to need to sign a contract because the agency instead makes money on a percentage of the spend, although there may be a setup fee. Without a contract, you are free to reallocate marketing dollars elsewhere if you discover that the pay-per-click campaign is not providing the desired results.
Clearly, organic search engine optimization has some distinct advantages over pay-per-click advertising. However, there are undoubtedly certain situations and scenarios where pay-per-click advertising makes more sense fiscally and strategically. With a high enough budget, you would be able to have an effective organic search engine optimization campaign running in tandem with an effective pay-per-click campaign. But if you have to choose one, look into your unique situation before you decided. | <urn:uuid:e5d5e967-0a53-426a-9b5d-7e715b59ec81> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.creativewebmall.com/blog/seo/seo-or-pay-per-click-advertising-which-should-you-choose | 2017-10-22T20:50:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825464.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022203758-20171022223758-00858.warc.gz | en | 0.949681 | 1,697 |

Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas
Acrylics on canvas
Image size: 80cm x 80cm x 3.5cm
(Please note that in situ images are purely an indication of how a piece may look).
“Enchanted Place” comes from the lovely woods close to my home in the Peak District. This is one of my favourite woodland areas where I often walk taking my sketchbook. Bright sunlight filters through the leaves and delicate rays create shadows over the forest floor, while the eye wanders over the semi-abstract marks in the foreground.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas. I use a variety of techniques including scumble and glaze with layer on layer. Other parts of the painting are worked with a palette knife, creating a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
Amanda Horvath is a contemporary artist who is influenced by the woods and moors of her home in the Peak District. Achieving a B A Hons (first class) in fine art Amanda went on to lecture in painting and printmaking. Now working full time as an artist from her studio her paintings are informed by the wild landscapes of her home. Renowned for forest scenes Amanda’s paintings are full of colour, texture and contrast, with an emphasis on delicate light effects and dramatic shadows.
“I have a close connection to the natural world and painting is a response to the beautiful landscape, I attempt to capture the spirit of the land and the ethereal quality of light filtering through woodlands. Through my work I hope to impart the sense of peace and meditative calm I feel in these quiet places. This affinity with nature has grown from childhood and my past experiences”
An important part of the creative process is to be absorbed in nature, so it begins with walking in the landscape making preliminary notes. These form the foundations of the work translated onto canvas in the studio. Harnessing some optical mixing techniques the paintings are created with layer upon layer of highly textured paint, worked expressively using palette knives and brushes, which results in paintings that lie somewhere between abstraction and realism. Her work has found homes with private collectors worldwide.

Is an automatic electric gate really a guilty pleasure?
Automatic Electric Gate Really A Guilty Pleasure
It is curious that one of the main reasons why our clients have put off having automatic electric gates installed is because they have seen such an item as one of life’s luxuries, that it would be a guilty pleasure to be able to arrive home and have your gates open before your very eyes without having to get out of your car. The words opulent and indulgent are often used, which to us is a little disappointing. Admittedly our electric gates do look fantastic, but we would never suggest they are a luxury.
Why? Because they aren’t a luxury, it is as simple as that. If you need new gates, why does the fact they open automatically all of a sudden change what they actually are. Ask yourself why you need them and then ask yourself what the benefits of having your new gates automated are. Only once you look at the realistic and sensible benefits, as opposed to the novelty factor of being able to have your gates open without any physical input from yourself, will you begin to realise they are not a guilty pleasure or a luxury, but actually they are a wise and sensible choice.
The beauty of automatic gates is that once closed, they stay closed. While this may be of great benefit from a security point of view, that security doesn’t just come from keeping unwanted visitors out. It also means those who are meant to be on the inside of the gate remain there. If you have young children, you don’t have to worry about them opening the gate and wandering off on their own. If you have a dog, you don’t have to worry about whether you closed the gate properly – automatic electric gates will always close completely and don’t suffer from ‘human error’.
Depending on where you live, there are other security aspects to having electric automatic gates. Few of us take our keys out of the ignition when we get out of the car to open our gates, yet in this day and age, opportunist thieves are becoming more and more brazen. Coming home late at night and having to get out of your car in the dark is never a pleasant task, as well as putting your safety at risk; electric gates solve those problem in an instant.
Finally, it is a well-documented fact that installing automatic electric gates both increases the value of your home, as well as increasing its saleability. Maybe now you will understand why electric gates aren’t just a luxury, but there are many more good reasons for having them installed than reasons not to. So if you live in Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Chepstow, Newport, Clevedon and surrounding areas, why not give us a call here at TPS Electric Gates & Doors Ltd and invite us out to provide you with a free and totally no-obligation quotation, as well as to allow us to show you the wide range of options available to you. | <urn:uuid:408107f6-f70e-422f-b01c-6a9cecf8ee87> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.tpselectricgates.co.uk/is-an-automatic-electric-gate-really-a-guilty-pleasure/ | 2018-06-23T14:16:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865081.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623132619-20180623152619-00159.warc.gz | en | 0.969161 | 625 |
The arrest of six former News of the World journalists this morning could result in a new wave of civil claims, according to a lawyer acting for more than 100 alleged victims.
Heffer added: “Under the settlement terms of the previous case there was a specific exception in the court order for any claim which might arise from new evidence which emerged at a later date.
“It seems likely that there will not only be new individuals with new claims but also existing clients with further claims arising from the additional evidence and documentation which has come to light.”
Last week figures released by News Corp revealed the enormous financial impact of the hacking scandal - in the three months to 31 December the company incurred $56m (£35.7m) in costs relating to phone-hacking, bringing the total figure to more than $340m (£216.9m).
Lawyers at News Corp’s UK publishing arm News International have been settling claims with phone-hacking victims since the Sunday tabloid was closed in July 2011.
Payouts include singer Charlotte Church (£600,000), actor Jude Law (£130,000), former Labour deputy leader Lord Prescott (£40,000), Labour MPs Chris Bryant (£30,000) and Denis MacShane (£32,500). | <urn:uuid:86988a28-97fb-43d8-a54d-7b2518d9a896> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/phone-hack-lawyer-says-latest-arrests-could-prompt-fresh-wave-civil-legal-claims | 2015-02-01T00:30:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115857200.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161057-00189-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968592 | 259 |
I think everyone has heard the expression “music to my ears” at least once in their lives. It doesn’t necessarily mean the music itself, but something that you say when a certain sound makes you feel joy in the same way that music would. It’s the kind of thing you say when your partner finally says “Let’s just order something” and you save yourself the bother of making something to eat because you really didn’t feel like cooking and cleaning up the kitchen. The dog in this video has a certain sound that is just like music to his ears, and he took it to a whole new level!
I don’t know if I was just having a bad day or just wasn’t really paying attention when I first watched this video, but I didn’t realize what was actually happening at first. It took me a few seconds to realize that the dog is with a friend, and I laughed out loud as the whole thing just took me completely by surprise. This doggy surely has some crazy moves thanks to a bit of help from a friend. I think? Or is he just that good?
Cheers to Jaxson and his dog friend for making this adorable video. I can’t believe something like this is even possible, let alone that it looks so funny and adorable!

In Matt; 24:15 Jesus warned those in Judea to flee into the wilderness when they see the Abomination of Desolation. This will be in the middle of the 70th Week and begins the Great Tribulation. Two questions come to mind regarding this urgency. Why just those in Judea and what are they fleeing from?
Judea was the name by which Israel was known in Biblical times because it consisted mostly of the Southern Kingdom, known as Judah in the Old Testament. When Satan indwells the anti-Christ and proclaims himself to be God, his primary goal will be to destroy Israel and therefore prevent any official petition on their part for the Messiah to return and save them. A prophecy in Hosea 5:15-6:2 says that after the Messiah’s rejection by Israel He would return to Heaven and wait there until they ask Him to come back. Apparently, Satan’s thinking is if he can wipe out the Jews they won’t be able to call Him back. Many scholars believe this has been the motivation behind the various attempts to eliminate the Jewish people over the last 2,000 years. | <urn:uuid:cabc7157-1dc8-4cc9-8db5-a8fbd6981546> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gracethrufaith.com/ask-a-bible-teacher/what-was-jesus-warning-them-about/ | 2023-09-25T03:29:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506676.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20230925015430-20230925045430-00705.warc.gz | en | 0.971931 | 234 |

There’s no record of just how many times UNLV quarterback Nick Sherry got hit Thursday night. Officially he was sacked just twice, but seemingly every time he went back to pass — and even just after hand-offs — Sherry had to get picked up off the ground by teammates.
Sherry’s first big mistake — an interception that Brock Vareen camped under like he was fielding a punt — came in the first quarter, and it was really the only blemish in a solid first half. UNLV (0-1) went into halftime down 7-3 and Sherry was 12-of-18 for 93 yards.
While the Rebels stayed in the game the whole way, Sherry disappeared down the stretch, going 4-for-17 the rest of the way with two more interceptions.
“The hits wore me down,” Sherry said. “I haven’t been hit in two years. The first ones kind of woke me up and in the second half I started to feel it.”
The middle pick wasn’t Sherry’s fault. A short pass intended for Devante Davis was batted into the air and scooped up by a Minnesota defender. That happens, and UNLV’s defense actually turned the mistake into what could be the most positive drive of the game moving forward with the season.
The Gophers set up at the 25-yard line and immediately went to the 12. From there the Rebels stiffened up and shut down Minnesota at the 5, forcing a field goal.
Before that kick the game was tied and Minnesota had been lapping UNLV in total yardage. It seemed inevitable that the Gophers would break through and possibly break the game open, but UNLV held strong.
The final stats, including 478 yards allowed, don’t tell a story of defensive excellence, but UNLV’s defenders were stellar in keeping the game close.
“We’re finally playing defense here,” UNLV coach Bobby Hauck said. “Defense has not been synonymous with UNLV football, and we hope that it does become that way.”
Junior Tim Hasson finished with seven total tackles, including a sack, and added an interception on the first possession of the game and a fumble recovery that helped UNLV’s offense snap out of its third-quarter funk.
The Rebels got the ball to start the second half and promptly went three-and-out on their first two possessions. The first one was just three incomplete passes and the Rebels actually called for another pass (another incompletion) on the first play of the second drive.
Sherry wasn’t getting much time in the first half and that only got worse in the final 30 minutes. Instead of taking advantage of Minnesota’s offensive stagnation, UNLV failed to put a couple of plays together, let alone sustain a drive.
“We had a chance to maybe put a little space between us and them in the third quarter and they won it on the defensive side of the football,” Hauck said.
Hasson’s fumble recovery on a muffed punt changed that by giving the offense the ball at Minnesota’s 33-yard line. A pass interference penalty and Tim Cornett, who finished with a career-high 127 yards, did most of the work from there. Cornett plunged in from one yard out for a 10-7 UNLV lead.
That offensive revival was short-lived, though. The teams traded field goals in the fourth quarter and set up an overtime that outscored regulation.
Cornett scored from 18 yards out. Then Minnesota’s MarQueis Gray threw to John Rabe to force the second session. Gray and Rabe hooked up again on the very next play and UNLV needed a personal foul penalty just to give itself a chance to force a third overtime.
On fourth down from the 6-yard line Sherry scrambled left and found a wide-open Davis in the end zone. It was Sherry’s final completion.
Tied at 27, UNLV took the ball again in the third overtime, and from the 11-yard line Sherry rolled to his right under pressure and lofted an easy interception toward the end zone.
It was a bad throw and, worse, it went against the most important lesson Hauck had tried to instruct in his freshman quarterback.
“One thing Coach told me was, ‘You don’t have to win the game,’ ” Sherry said. “I saw a receiver in the back of the end zone but I was running away from a guy so I didn’t have balance and under threw him.”
Minnesota ended the game with a 32-yard field goal that sent what was left of a sparse 16,013 crowd for the exits.
The result, obviously, is not what UNLV was going for, especially not after being so close to victory. It’s the first game, though, and there are 12 more to go. In order to find some positive results in those remaining games UNLV needs more defensive performances like this one, which Hauck made sound like a certainty.
“It’s a given that we’re going to be a hard-hitting, physical football team,” Hauck said.
They also need to avoid the usual game-killers like turnovers and penalties. Cornett said the team would rally around Sherry after his up-and-down debut.
And Sherry, though disappointed, was very positive after the game. He took his lumps and nearly pulled out the victory. He and Cornett both agreed this is not the same team that lost its opener at Wisconsin last year.
“We’re headed in the right direction,” Sherry said. “Now I’ve got to fix my mistakes.”
He’s certainly not the only one. | <urn:uuid:fd5f948d-9bee-4ea1-b335-7f183bc3bf6c> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://lasvegassun.com/news/2012/aug/31/nick-sherry-gets-hit-often-college-debut-30-27-tri/ | 2017-06-29T13:44:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323970.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629121355-20170629141355-00657.warc.gz | en | 0.97716 | 1,426 |

|Training Squadron 86|
|Country||United States of America|
|Branch||United States Navy|
|CDR JOHN D. TUTWILER, USN|
VT-86 'SabreHawks' or Training Squadron 86 is an aircraft training squadron of the United States Navy.
Training Squadron 86 is known by several names: TRARON EIGHT SIX, VT-86, or simply the Sabrehawks, a name derived from its history of flying the T-39D/G/N Sabreliner and the TA-4J Skyhawk II. The squadron was commissioned on the 5th of June 1972, under the operational control of Commander, Training Air Wing EIGHT (TRAWING 8) at Naval Air Station Glynco, Georgia. The mission of the new squadron was to conduct advanced Naval Flight Officer (NFO) training, which had previously been overseen by Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Glynco. The training was in four areas: Radar Intercept Officer, Basic Jet Navigation, Airborne Electronic Warfare and Airborne Tactical Data Systems. Training was conducted in aircraft previously assigned to and supported by NATTC Glynco until February 1973, when the squadron accepted 24 T-39 Sabreliner, 20 A-4C Skyhawk, 2 EC-121K Warning Star, and 12 TS-2A Tracker aircraft and approximately 350 enlisted maintenance and support personnel from NATTC and NAS Glynco. After receiving the aircraft and personnel, the squadron’s mission was expanded to include flight support for Air Intercept Control and Ground Controlled Approach training functions.
Following a decision to close NAS Glynco and deactivate TRAWING 8, a Sabrehawk detachment was established at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida in March 1974. On 1 June 1974, the squadron commenced flight operations at Naval Air Station Pensacola under operational command of Commander, Training Air Wing SIX (TRAWING 6), training Naval Flight Officers for nearly all carrier-based aircraft.
Since its establishment, Training Squadron EIGHT SIX has received numerous awards to include multiple Meritorious Unit Commendations, the Training Effectiveness Award from the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), the CNATRA Retention Award, the Chief of Naval Operations Safety Award and 26 CNATRA Safety awards for accident-free operations. The squadron later amassed over 310,000 mishap-free flight hours and received the Admiral John H. Towers Safety Award and the Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET) Shore/Technical Training Excellence Award.
In 1994, Training Squadron EIGHT SIX’s role was expanded to include the training of U.S. Air Force Navigators/Combat Systems Officers (CSO) slated for eventual assignment as Weapon Systems Officers (WSO) in fighter and bomber aircraft. To date, the command has trained over 7,200 Naval Flight Officers for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps and over 1,400 Navigators/Combat Systems Officers for the U.S. Air Force. The command has also historically provided training to international students. In 1996, VT-86's responsibilities also entailed training international officer students from Saudi Arabia, Italy, Singapore, and Germany; nearly 200 International Military Trainees have earned their wings through VT-86.
Today, VT-86's mission is to provide advanced flight instruction to Student Naval Flight Officers (NFO) destined for strike fighter, bomber and electronic warfare aircraft. The squadron syllabus builds on that training previously received in the primary and intermediate NFO training squadrons, with additional emphasis on systems, instrument and radar navigation, radar intercept and attack, high-speed low-level flight, advanced aerial combat maneuvering and advanced communications.
Upon completion of VT-86's program, newly winged NFOs undergo further training at the respective Fleet Replacement Squadrons (FRS) for their new aircraft before reporting to their first operational Fleet squadron.
VT-86 previously trained NFOs for many well-known retired aircraft such as the F-14 Tomcat, F-4 Phantom II, A-6 Intruder, RA-5C Vigilante, RRF-4B Phantom II, S-3 Viking, ES-3 Shadow, and the A-3 Skywarrior (whose variants included the KA-3, EKA-3, ERA-3, EA-3 and TA-3). In addition, VT-86 previously provided training for the still serving E-2 Hawkeye until that mission was assumed by the E-2 Fleet Replacement Squadrons in the mid-1970s when NAS Glynco closed.
German Air Force (Luftwaffe) and German Navy (Deutsche Marine) Navigators/WSOs go on to fly either the Panavia Tornado Interdictor/Strike (IDS) or Electronic Combat/Reconnaissance (ECR) variants, while some Luftwaffe WSOs will also fly the F-4 Phantom II.
Training squadron EIGHTY-SIX is presently staffed by approximately 80 U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps officers. Additional instructor pilots, instructor NFOs and instructor WSOs augment VT-86 and are sourced from the TRAWING 6 staff, Naval Aviation Schools Command staff, and part-time Navy Reserve pilots and Navy Reserve NFOs embedded in TRAWING 6's and VT-86's respective Reserve Component units. German and Italian Navigator/WSO instructors also support VT-86 training operations, although they are administratively assigned to colocated German Air Force (Luftwaffe) and Italian Air Force training squadrons at NAS Pensacola. With the ever-changing strategy of national defense for the United States and that of its NATO and Allied partners, VT-86 will continue to train Navy, Marine Corps and international officers in preparation for flying the world’s most advanced and complex tactical combat aircraft.
VT-86 celebrated its 25th anniversary of mishap-free flying on April 8, 2002. Since its inception in June 1972, VT-86 has logged more than 332,000 mishap-free flight hours and has the distinction of maintaining the longest documented accident-free period of any active flying squadron in Naval Aviation history. This flight-hour total and cumulative time without mishaps also represents the longest mishap-free safety record in Naval Air Training Command history. Over the years, VT-86 has also earned twenty-seven Chief of Naval Air Training safety awards for accident-free operations and it also won the Admiral John H. Towers Safety Award in 1995.
The 25 years of mishap-free flying 332,000 hours breaks down to more than 1,100 hours per month.
Upon graduation from Basic Student NFO Training at Training Squadron TEN (VT-10) at NAS Pensacola, Navy and certain international students selected to fly large land-based aircraft such as the P-3C Orion, EP-3E Aries or the E-6B Mercury TACAMO aircraft will report to Specialized Undergraduate Navigator Training. After graduation from Intermediate NFO Training at VT-10, those Navy students and international selected to fly the E-2C/D Hawkeye will report to Airborne Early Warning Squadron ONE TWENTY (VAW-120) at Naval Station Norfolk/Chambers Field, Virginia. All other students report to VT-86.
- The squadron's radio callsign is ROKT (Rocket).

In the first days of our Rajasthan tour we have been visiting several havelis. These are impressive mansions mainly from the 19th century, which are among the most important non-religious architectural landmarks of Rajasthan. Adorned by murals, beautiful artwork and paintings, the havelis were designed to reflect the prosperity of the owner.
They were built by wealthy merchants, aristocrats or maharajas along the old Silk Road where the caravans passed by. These palaces served several purposes. First of all, this was the place where the merchants received the caravans and negotiated their deals. At the same time havelis were also the homes where several generations lived together.
Structure and decoration of the havelis of Rajasthan
The wall decoration shows the way of life and the importance of the religion in those days. Scenes from everyday life are mixed with drawings from Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma and other idols.
The architecture of the havelis also reflect values and customs. Just to mention 2 interesting examples:
- The courts were the centers of life in these buildings. The front ones were open to the public and mainly used by men. The ones in the back served only private purposes. This is where women and children spent their time, hidden from the eyes of foreigners.
- The wooden entrance doors of the havelis were huge, but were only opened on special occasions. Otherwise there were tiny openings on the large gate wings. First of all to protect from invaders, and also to force the incoming to bow, and thereby show respect.
Havelis of Rajasthan today
Due to the declining importance of caravans, the merchants moved on to other trading areas, like harbors or new big cities. So the buildings were left behind.
This is why many of these impressive houses are in a very bad shape today. As they were built of sandstone and decorated by natural colors they would need permanent restauration. Many of them have remained in private ownership, but the owners do not invest in maintaining them.
Fortunately, some havelis found new investors and have been turned into museums, art galleries, small hotels or restaurants. As such they have been wonderfully restored and still show their old splendor.
The most beautiful ones we have seen are to be found in Mandawa – the Jhunjhunu Wala, in Fatehpur – the Nadine Le Prince and in Jaisalmer – the Patwa Haveli.
We were also lucky enough to spend a couple of nights in some of these converted palaces and it felt like being put back into the past… :)
It is so heartening to see a foreigner writing about the havelis of Rajasthan with so much passion. I know, some gems are falling prey to neglect and apathy. It is great that some of them are restored now and turned into heritage properties. I have never stayed in a haveli but looking forward to.
thank you for your feedback.
Hope you’ll find the time to enjoy some time in a restored haveli soon. It’s stunning!!
The Havelis look stunning. I think i’d be there for hours exploring and taking photographs. I particularly like the doors!
you won’t feel the time passing, when you enter such a beautiful building and feel the vibe.
Have fun when you are there !
Wow, that is spectacular. It’s the first time I have heard or read about them. It reminds me of the Cheong Fatt Tze mansion I visited in Penang, Malaysia, though on a smaller and less grand scale.
The Havelis are really-really beautiful. Absolutely worth a visit. We have not been to Malaysia yet, unfortunately, but would also love to visit. :)
Havelis are the essence of the Rajasthan culture. Many of them how now been turned into hotels and several in home stays. It’s always a charm to stay in one. You captured the essence just right :)
Thank you for your feedback. We liked the special atmosphere of the converted Havelis, too.
What a gorgeous place! I love the decorations, and those tiny little details on buildings (the Nadine Le Prince haveli especially) – I’ve never been to India, but it must have been a wonderful experience!
Hi Vicky, yes, it is sooooo beautiful. If you get a chance to visit India don’t hesitate. It is extremely intense – but really worth it. :)
That bed looks deliciously comfortable. It’s pleasing to hear that some of the havelis have had new life breathed into them by new owners. I hate watching beautiful old buildings decay in their foundations!
Yes, some of them are really nicely restored, and offer nice stay-overs. As we understood you constantly have to keep working on them in order to keep them in shape, as the natural colors are really sensitive and not too long-lasting…
I’ve never been to this part of the world but these mansions look so gorgeous and full of culture. I particularly like the decorations on the walls. It’s genius to combine both religious figures and everyday life into such beautiful artworks :)
If you have the chance to visit India, don’t miss it! It’s full of beautiful artwork, architecture, temples and religious places.
I suppose this is in India? You should write a phrase in clear. We don’t know what havelis is, and where rajasthan is…
Dear Plushy, sorry, you are right, this is beautiful India. Worth to see. :)
Rajasthan is one of my favorite places in India. You’re so lucky to have stayed at some of the converted ones. My favorite place is Neemranah Fort Palace for it’s Saturday night cultural show. Great pics :)
Thank you so much! The converted havelis were really so amazing. We can also understand why you love Rajasthan, we love it too.
What a beautiful place. Your pictures are gorgeous. They make me want to go discover India. thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Christine! We are happy if our pictures inspire you. :) | <urn:uuid:05b60140-d6a7-48e4-8731-e99d9240a0e4> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://worldviber.com/havelis-of-rajasthan/ | 2023-05-31T20:00:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224647409.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20230531182033-20230531212033-00022.warc.gz | en | 0.970601 | 1,306 |

Two of the Air Force crew members killed in the crash of a KC-135 refueling aircraft in Kyrgyzstan were from California, according to information released Sunday by the Department of Defense.
Killed were Capt. Victoria Pinckney, 27, of Palmdale, and Tech. Sgt. Herman Mackey III, 30, of Bakersfield. The two were assigned to the 93rd Air Refueling Squadron, Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash.
Also killed was Capt. Mark Voss, 27, from Colorado Springs, Colo.
The KC-135 Stratotanker crashed for unknown reasons Friday shortly after takeoff from the Manas air base in the Central Asian nation. The refueling plane was heading to Afghanistan.
Mackey graduated from Bakersfield High School. He is survived by his wife, Megan, and daughter, Payton.
Pinckney graduated from Palmdale High and the Air Force Academy. She is survived by her husband, Richard, and son, Gabriel. | <urn:uuid:4931a72b-f202-4f54-917a-ea3a735e7bc1> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://articles.latimes.com/2013/may/05/local/la-me-ln-two-californians-killed-20130505 | 2016-10-24T02:45:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719463.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00455-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977377 | 207 |

For those who burn wood in Fairbanks and North Pole the burn ban can be devastating. Especially when wood is the only source of heat one has. A special meeting on this very issue was held last week at our local Denny’s. Lance Roberts and Tammy Wilson along with local citizens voiced their concerns about the current protocol regarding the wood burning ban.
Lance Roberts was one of two who voted no back in June when Mayor Karl Kassel proposed the new rule changes regarding burning wood. Tammy Wilson also expressed a dislike of the new regulations. For those who can’t afford to comply with the new regulations and aren’t able to get a waiver she says the consensus seems to be, “sucks to be you.”
The meeting, organized by the group, Citizens for Property Rights raised questions about the boundaries on the non-attainment zone, the fines associated with being out of compliance, areas in which the air pollution devices are located and possible solutions or rights to handling this issue. According to Wilson “if we all stopped burning today we still wouldn’t meet EPA standards.” Wilson told those in attendance that “the system is broken,” and how we fix that is by voting yes in October.
In a state where below freezing temperatures are felt for months on end, alternative measures of heating can be critical. This past June the borough informed citizens that they would suffer fines for burning during a non-burning alert period.
For many, therein lies much of the problem. Luke Hopkins, who attended the meeting at Denny’s, remarked that the monitors are put in the lowest portions of North Pole, which can give a false reading. Another recurring point of opposition focused on the non-attainment boundaries. Several times throughout the meeting those in attendance mentioned how 4 of members of the board, one who is also the owner of The Woodway (a woodstove store) find their property just outside the non-attainment area. The following is but one excerpt from a forum called Fairbanks North Star Borough Wood Burners.
David Tillett: “This picture of the non-attainment zone didn’t make sense until a friend looked up the property ownership in that convenient little cutout. It makes a lot more sense when you realize it’s because one of these board members for the Borough Air Quality Control Board owns a home and 35 acres in that handy little cutout. Not only is this individual’s business profiting extensively from board decisions, but it appears this individual didn’t want to personally abide by their decisions. How can the borough lawyers not see the massive conflict of interest and appearance of blatant corruption? Do they think we are truly that blind and stupid?”
“The circle is off fractionally due to the scale of the map. The point is clear that the non-attainment boundary uses Nordale and Chena Hotsprings, then it randomly cuts off an area. Is it a coincidence that a board member who helped define the border lives there?” | <urn:uuid:fb588928-ee94-464d-8d09-4d4e20bea9fb> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | http://freethepeopleak.com/2018/01/26/wood-ban-malarkey/ | 2018-08-18T02:59:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221213264.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20180818021014-20180818041014-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.95882 | 632 |
"Similarly Richard M. Rossow, Wadhwani Chair in US-India Policy Studies at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies writes about Preparing for a New Team in New Delhi even as he acknowledges nothing is certain in Indian politics."
Washington, April 20 - As American media reports on the sounds, colours and smells of India's crucial parliamentary election, Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is the flavour of the season.
The big story of course is India's 'insanely huge and complex' -, 'jaw-droppingly enormous' - election 'juggernaut' -, but analysts have on the most part focused on not who but how Modi may become the new tenant of 7 Race Course Road, the official residence of the Indian prime minister.
Painting the Indian election as a face off between Nehru-Gandhi heir and populist Hindu nationalist -, leading media outlets as also think tanks, have dilated on the fortunes of the two leading parties - Congress and BJP - as also newcomer Aam Aadmi Party.
But frontrunner modi gets the lion's share of coverage even as it is acknowledged that Modi's path to the top office will depend on a group of secondary politicians, including three ladies - Tamil Nadu's Jayalalithaa Jayaram; West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee; and Uttar Pradesh's Mayawati -.
Time this week listed Modi as number one of the six choices ahead of musician Beyonce and President Barack Obama - in an invitation to readers to weigh in on 150 artists, icons and leaders who should figure in the magazine's annual Time 100 list of the world's most influential people.
A CNN story on what it called India's first social media election also began with how during the Holi festival more than three million Twitter followers of Modi received a personalised greeting from him.
Some Indian politicians are borrowing strategies employed by US President Barack Obama's 2012 presidential campaign, with the use of Thunderclap, an online platform which helps to make content viral, the news channel noted.
How India's Muslims - worried about controversial Hindu leader as national elections, as a Washington Post headline put it, is another theme of American media coverage.
In the same vein, New York Times Saturday ran an opinion piece by Basharat Peer, author of Curfewed Night, a memoir of the conflict in Kashmir, on Being Muslim Under Narendra Modi
The Hindu nationalist who may be elected India's next prime minister is no comic book hero said the story pegged on a new comic book Bal Narendra - about the BJP leader.
The latest issue of Foreign Policy magazine too has a piece by James Traub, a fellow of the Centre on International Cooperation on Watching Modi, the Maestro, at Work.
And to think that less than six months ago Modi was mentioned only in the context of denial of a US visa for his alleged role or inaction during the 2002 Gujarat riots as the State's chief minister.
Now the visa issue is mentioned, but only in the context of what Jeff Smith, director of South Asia programmes at the American Foreign Policy Council in Washington, described as the futility of the - visa policy regarding the BJP leader.
Suggesting the US government has so profoundly mismanaged a decade-long visa ban he looks at a Congressional report that Modi would automatically be eligible for an A-1 - visa as head of state as welcome - if long overdue - news.
Similarly Richard M. Rossow, Wadhwani Chair in US-India Policy Studies at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies writes about Preparing for a New Team in New Delhi even as he acknowledges nothing is certain in Indian politics.

Dairyu possesses a sonic projection voice on super-strength level. Also able to cause deafness with his “dragon roar” scream.
My name is Captain Noble. I am a superhero working for the US Government. This is an excerpt from my journal.
YEAR 11, DAY 76
Shuttershock and I remained on our guard as we approached the newly formed doorway. It was identical to the one which led us into Genko’s room. However, this inscription read “The Chamber of Dragons is home to Dairyu”. Underneath this were the monikers “Abrug” and “The Great Dragon”. Below them was what appeared to be another circular calendar that rotated like a clock keeping time. It also read “Year 949”. We both looked at each other not just in disbelief but also despair, as we hesitantly opened the doors to face what we realized was the second of the Zhibdean Triplets.
The second room was pure Himalayan mountain. There was no marble, no architecture or design, no bamboo floors. It was all rock, mist and dew. Water dripped off the stones above us as a current flowed down from an opening along the corner of the ceilings and down the walls. Cold drifted across the air, chilling my already bruised exterior. I could tell the damp scent was irritating Shuttershock too. He kept pinching his nose and exhaling through it aggressively to clear out the cave’s smell. Nevertheless, my partner and I inched along as the door closed behind us. There was no turning back.

A low rumble entered the room next. That is when I realized we were not alone. Something was present. The noise turned into a deep growl, and the mist began swirling along the ground as if something were slithering around. A growl feigned in the far corner. It sounded like that of a monster. Shuttershock illuminated his fists and stood guard. I prepared myself as well. The swirling mist moved more rapidly, increasing the tension. The growling grew louder. A trembling unlike anything I had ever experienced before crept up my spine. I felt as if an enormous beast were lurking in the shadows. Shuttershock looked at me and said it better not be a real dragon. I swallowed the anxiousness in my throat and told him to be ready for anything. Then, the room went silent. Dead silent. Not a breeze was heard. Not a drop fell from the ceiling. Not a rock fell from place. It was so quiet I could hear my heartbeat. Shuttershock could hear his as well, and I saw it was making him uneasy. Instantly, I thought about the news story of the quietest room in the world. It was so void of any noise, that not only was it said you could hear your own heart beat, but you could hear the blood move in your veins. Normal people who volunteered for the test were said to not be able to last 10-15 minutes in there without losing their cool. Pure, absolute silence will drive you mad, and it was doing so to Shuttershock.
I tried to champion him along, encourage him to stay sane. He could not do it though. The prolonged silence combined with the previous sensory overload and anticipating our next deadly assailant was too much for him to bear. Before I could calm Shuttershock he fired an energy blast, and when he did so, we both saw it: a gigantic dragon head. It was about five times the size of me and it was rushing towards us. It’s eyes, nose, mouth and teeth were enormous. With it came a deafening roar as well. Shuttershock and I screamed in pain while dropping to our knees and covering our ears. I thought we were dead. However, what I did not notice, before my ears were impaled by the monstrous sound, was the dragon was made of mist with water moving about, making it look like moist scales. A trick of the mind had been played masterfully, and the magician was Dairyu. Before I knew it, he emerged from the dragon mist in full force attacking us.
Dairyu smashed me in the mouth with a kick and then moved on to do the same to Shuttershock with a spinning roundhouse. We both were leveled. Then, Dairyu screamed incredibly loud using his vocal powers to blast us off the rock floor and into the wall. Once again, we were flattened. Dairyu moved in next to pummel Shuttershock but I intervened by grabbing a chunk of the rock out of the indentation my body left in the wall, and I tossed it at the Zhibdean. He roared like a dragon once more as he extended his fist and shattered the boulder to pieces. I quickly followed up by flying directly at him and grabbing his robe. My momentum slammed him into the marble door, cracking it in several places. I punched at his face next, but Dairyu moved to the side. My fist smashed through the entrance and was lodged in it. Dairyu kicked me in my shin, dropping me to a knee and leaving my arm hanging. Next, he sent an open-palmed stroke to my extended elbow, bending it in half the opposite way and cracking every bone. I screamed in pain, but Dairyu did not relent. With my floppy arm dangling from the door, he continued to kick me with ferocious strikes to my back and head. I tried fending off his attacks with my free arm, but I was coming across my body and had no success. Dairyu was beating the living daylights out of me and I was helpless. That was until Shuttershock recovered enough to blast him with an incredible beam of light energy.
Dairyu flew across the cave and was embedded into the wall with massive force. When his body hit the ground, rocks fell all over him. Shuttershock blasted the marble door next, freeing my broken arm. He rushed over and stood between me and our assailant, asking if I was OK. I answered that he needed to focus on Dairyu and not worry about me. Shuttershock fired another burst of light energy at our enemy, but Dairyu was too quick and launched himself out from underneath the rubble. All my partner’s attack hit was the dust and rocks he left behind. I inched my back against the door while Shuttershock and Dairyu engaged in hand-to-hand combat before me. The Zhibdean’s style was the same ancient kung-fu as we faced with Genko, but his style was more explosive than his sister’s. While her’s reflected the silent fluidity fear uses to pour into our minds and hearts, crippling us, Dairyu’s was powerful like the strength of a dragon.
It was also too much for Shuttershock. My partner is a good warrior, but he’s still learning, and to that point had not had a great deal of formal training. He uses a good understanding of how to fight, defend and maneuver. And combined with the ability make his fists into exploding balls of light energy, he is able to be pretty effective against most adversaries. He also has incredible heart. He does not give up no matter how much he is outclassed or outnumbered. Admirable as that may be though, against an opponent like Dairyu, it would only get him killed. And that’s what was happening after about 10 minutes of them facing off. Shuttershock landed punches and even mixed in some great light blasts, but Dairyu’s skill, abilities and training was overwhelming. It did not take long for him to beat Shuttershock down and use his vocal blast to trap my partner in a corner. He held his guard up, but the sheer number of attacks and the power behind them was tearing him up.
By then I was able to reset my arm, and my accelerated healing factor had completely numbed the pain; a trait that serves me well whenever it kicks in if I’m seriously injured. However, it basically renders that body part useless until it is healed, if my body is able to heal it at all. Nonetheless, I had to save my partner whether I had one arm or two.
I flew over and was able to grab Dairyu by his arm as he cocked it back to throw another punch. I contorted my entire frame to build up momentum, and flung him into the ceiling above us. Shuttershock put his arms down and his body went limp. He needed time to gather himself. He was spent. Alas, it was up to me to give him that time.
I rushed Dairyu and kicked him in his ribs while he was getting up. I repeated the attack, but this time he caught my leg and tossed me to the side. Then, he charged, unleashing a fury of strikes. I blocked with my one good arm and dodged the rest. When he began to penetrate my defense, I would leap away using my flying ability and force him to start over. This worked for awhile, but eventually he knew I was only buying time for Shuttershock to heal. So, he began attacking him. I would fly in between them before he could strike my partner though, absorbing Dairyu’s blows. I would then ram my shoulder into his body and catapult us both across the room wildly into another wall. That strategy could only work a couple of times however, for I was getting weaker and there was no way I could keep fighting much longer.
Thus, after protecting Shuttershock again, I staggered to my feet next to an angered Dairyu. He was feeling the damage from being smashed into the walls, but he still remained fresh enough to kill us both. Knowing he was going to attack my felled partner once more, I prepared to fly in and protect him. However, I made eye contact with Shuttershock and he very subtly shook his head. He was playing possum! So, I let Dairyu advance. That is when my partner unleashed a mega beam of light, and our enemy ran right into it at full speed. Then, as he was being blasted across the room towards me, I gathered all the strength in my body. I gave my broken arm a shake to test its stability. It was at about 65%. What I was planning would most likely break it again, but I had no choice. This was our only chance to end the fight, and I had a half-second to move. Therefore, I planted my feet and launched myself at Dairyu while he was being blasted. I took off so fast, my feet left prints in the rock below me. Finally, I stretched my arms in mid-air, made two fists, and crashed them into the back of Dairyu. Shuttershock’s energy beam leveled our enemy from one side and I flattened him from the other. When we met in the middle, a thunderous roar was heard in the room and Dairyu disappeared just as Genko did.
I was tossed to the side from the impact, making me roll over on the ground holding my newly broken arm in agony. Shuttershock and I were gasping for air from exhaustion. I asked him if he was alright. He said no. I concurred. We both stumbled to our feet next, but before we could catch our breath, the rock on the far wall next to Shuttershock began glowing. It was transforming into another marble gateway. The third Zhibdean triplet awaited us on the other side. We both looked at the entrance, looked at each other, and sat right back down. We knew we could not go back and leave the way we came, and that the only way home was through those doors ahead of us. Yet, we were absolutely in no hurry to open them. | <urn:uuid:d1bbcdc0-3705-4007-8f44-96846362e21c> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://thecreativeextreme.com/91-dairyu/ | 2019-03-24T07:35:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912203378.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190324063449-20190324085449-00456.warc.gz | en | 0.987985 | 2,569 |

CAIRO – Everything about Egypt’s revolution has been unexpected, and the first-round results in the country’s first-ever competitive presidential election are no different.
The rise of former President Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister, Gen. Ahmed Shafiq, who will enter the presidential runoff alongside the Muslim Brothers (MB) candidate Mohammed Morsi, has raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. So did the meteoric rise of the Nasserist candidate Hamdeen Sabahi to third place, and the fourth-place finish of Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, who was backed by liberals and hardline Salafi Islamists alike.
Egypt’s voters overwhelmingly chose the revolution over the old regime, and shattered the myth that the push for change is an urban, middle-class, Cairo-based phenomenon: the eight revolutionary candidates received more than 16.4 million votes. But their failure to unite on a single platform directly benefited Shafiq, who unexpectedly won 5.9 million votes (assuming no election-rigging).
Shafiq’s success shocked many revolutionaries. “He is a murderer. His place is in jail, not on top of Egypt after the revolution,” said one activist. Indeed, Shafiq has been linked to multiple cases of corruption and repression, including the “battle of the camels” on Feb. 2, 2011, when Mubarak’s henchmen attacked Tahrir Square, killing and wounding protesters.
The rise of Shafiq is explainable in some areas, but raised eyebrows in others. In Upper Egypt, “more than 60 percent of Copts voted for him,” a source close to the Coptic Orthodox Church said, and in Coptic-majority areas, the pro-Shafiq vote exceeded 95 percent, because he was widely perceived as a bulwark against Islamism.
Moreover, many state employees (around 5.1 million of them eligible to vote) and their families supported Shafiq, owing either to direct instructions from their bosses, or to the perceived threat of creeping MB influence on government bureaucracies. And Shafiq received financing and support from Mubarak’s National Democratic Party (NDP), as well as from business and security interests that benefited from the status quo.
But this was not enough to explain Morsi’s defeat in the MB’s traditional strongholds. In Sharqiya, a bastion of hardcore MB support with 3.5 million voters, Shafiq defeated Morsi by more than 90,000 votes. In Gharbiya governorate, another MB stronghold, he beat Morsi by more than 200,000 votes.
I compared the results with the MB’s performance in the parliamentary elections earlier this year, and found that the Brothers lost between 25 percent and 48 percent of their support in the Nile Delta (depending on the area), where 40 percent of Egyptians live. Assuming no foul play, Shafiq received around 2 million votes from four Delta governorates: Sharqiya, Gharbiya, Munufiya, and Daqahliyya.
Egypt’s Islamists — the strongest political force on the ground, and the most repressed under Mubarak — have serious stakes in this election. But rather than uniting to improve their chances, their popular support was split among three candidates, two of whom — Morsi and Aboul Fotouh — placed among the four front-runners.
Salafi support for Aboul Fotouh, a moderate former MB leader, proved to be a double-edged sword, because it repelled many liberals and socialists who would have voted for him otherwise.
Most revolutionaries who did not want an Islamist-dominated Egypt were alienated as well. Their votes went to Sabahi, from the left-leaning Nasserist camp, who surprised observers by winning 5.4 million votes.
If anything, the first-round results revealed the power of the non-Islamist revolutionary bloc, as well as Egyptians’ willingness to punish Islamists for their weak job performance in Parliament. Indeed, six out of ten Egyptians voted for Islamists in the parliamentary elections. That dropped to four in 10 in the presidential election.
Morsi, who finished first, with 6 million votes, had the MB’s disciplined, dedicated, and experienced machine fully behind him. That meant a sophisticated election campaign that penetrated deeply into Egyptian society, urban and rural, and in which women played a key role.
“This is where they beat the Salafis. Their women are experienced, outgoing, gutsy, and trained to be convincing and charismatic,” a Salafi activist who supported Aboul Fotouh told me. “Salafi women are shy, introverts. They can’t compete for votes with the MB ladies.”
The MB must now try to persuade the 10.7 million voters who supported Aboul Fotouh and Sabahi to back Morsi in the runoff against Shafiq. The MB probably needs to reserve the vice presidency for a non-Islamist like Sabahi. Likewise, Aboul Fotoh, or perhaps the Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, will need to be appointed as prime minister.
Moreover, the MB will most likely have to offer some concessions to guarantee balanced representation of Islamists and non-Islamists in the assembly that Parliament is to choose to draft a new constitution.
Whoever wins Egypt’s presidency will face severe obstacles in challenging the status quo, owing to the dominance of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF). The president’s mandate was outlined by a constitutional declaration in March 2011, but the SCAF has said that a more detailed one would be forthcoming after the election. That could mean weakening the president’s powers and reserving some domains for the army — at least until a new constitution is adopted.
What remains certain is that no democratic transition can be complete without elected representatives exercising meaningful control over the security services and the armed forces. That will be the Egyptian revolution’s ultimate test, and the most critical challenge for any president who does not embody a return to the past.

Despite the tough situation of Covid-19 hitting the global economy for the second year, the WorldStar management and WPO member LibanPack (www.libanpack.org) were able to attract a record number of 440 entries from 37 countries representing a 30% increase compared to the previous year. The WorldStar judging process was conducted over two rounds, and the online judging panel was composed of 36 international esteemed judges representing 36 WPO countries.
“The judges evaluated each entry so diligently, with such intentional focus and spent hours going through 440 submissions before meeting virtually, during WPO week in November, for final deliberations to choose the winners,” explains Soha Atallah, WorldStar coordinator and vice president of Conferences, Exhibitions and Awards. She adds, “Sustainability and convenience were among the main focus for most of the entries in WorldStar 2022 in addition to other post-Covid-19 trends such as hygiene, eCommerce and wellness,” states Soha Atallah.
The 240 winners of the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2022 were announced on 15 December 2021 and posted on www.worldstar.org. The Top 4 most awarded countries of the 2022 edition are Germany, 28 awards; Australia & New Zeeland, 27 awards; Japan, 23 awards; and China,15 awards. The Asia Pacific seems to have extremely well with other winners in the region, including South Korea 13; India 10, Thailand 4, Singapore 3, Sri Lanka 1 and Vietnam 1.
The WordStar Award Ceremony for 2022 will take place physically on 4 May 2022, in Milan during the Ipack Ima show, which is from 3 to 6 May, in cooperation with the WPO local member, the Italian Packaging Institute (www.istitutoimballaggio.org). The winners for the special categories, the President’s Award, Sustainability Award, Marketing Award and Packaging that Saves Food Award, will be also announced during WorldStar Ceremony.
According to WPO President Pierre Pienaar, “The WPO Board of Directors, who deliberated over the entries, were so excited by the high standard of innovation. They were particularly encouraged by the number of entries and some from new member countries. While sustainability remains a key and necessary consideration when designing packaging, the judges were impressed by the focus on design and graphics to enhance the consumer experience.” | <urn:uuid:6bc93d6c-d93c-4207-8d6c-871c4344e1ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://healthtekpak.com/events/worldstar-award-ceremony-ipack-ima/ | 2023-12-11T06:57:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679103558.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211045204-20231211075204-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.964412 | 497 |

Racial profiling is officially legal in Arizona. And while it is the slippery slope described above, SB 1070 has gifted us a great opportunity to organize for immigrant rights on a new scale.
1. Sign the email petition to your Congressional representatives, the Obama Administration and the Department of Homeland Security asking them not to cooperate with SB 1070, support any filed injunctions to the law, and furthermore, start taking leadership in pushing for real comprehensive immigration reform.
2. Hold local solidarity actions and add them to this growing list. Take down details of contacts. Connect with local grassroots organizations and student groups that are leading the effort. Be prepared to talk to the media about why you oppose SB 1070 and how this law is not just about Arizona but about what kind of country we want to live in as Americans.
3. Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions. Rep Grijalva has called for an economic boycott of Arizona, which means not traveling to Arizona and avoiding the expenditure of any dollars in Arizona. The American Immigration Lawyers’ Association is already boycotting by canceling it’s annual conference in Scottsdale. Some truckers are boycotting. Others are asking the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to divest from Arizona. More economic sanctions are likely to be announced in the coming week with a list of products and companies to boycott.
4. Civil disobedience. Take a hint from the Capitol Nine who chained themselves to Capitol building doors. Leave your licenses at home. Walk out of schools and walk into local Congressional offices of politicians who have not cosponsored the DREAM Act and refuse to stand up for immigration reform. Conducts sit-ins, hunger strikes and flash mobs. Offer to get yourself detained wearing t-shirts and carrying signs that say “Do I look like an ‘illegal immigrant’ to you?” or “Being Brown is Not a Crime.”
5. Use Online Tools to Organize. Use hashtag #LegalizeAZ on Twitter to connect with more people taking action against SB 1070. Change your Facebook profile picture to the badge above (or something similar) to show solidarity. Also join the Facebook group 1 million strong against SB 1070 and don’t forget to follow growing immigrant youth taking actions on Twitter and Facebook.
The possibilities are endless. Consider this an open thread and invitation to share your ideas and actions and feel free to cross-post. This is just the beginning.

They use generators to back up electrical power in many home appliances like refrigerators, television, etc. Portable generators can help run the medical pieces of equipment powered by electricity for a short time. It can run air conditioners in your home as well.
Give Power Backup To Small Businesses
Small businesses can get severely affected by the power outage spanning for a long duration. A mid or extended duration power outage ruins the inventories dependent on refrigeration in small restaurants, rural markets, butcher shops, and other stores. In such cases, generators can act as a backup to the electrical power of these small businesses, helping them to run smoothly.
- It ensures the safety of residents living in severe climatic conditions like in extreme cold and extreme hot areas.
- Generators can power many electrical items like electric fans, electronic bug zappers, microwaves, and many more to bring convenience.
- Contractors working on building sites can use generators to operate their equipment and tools in case of the power outage.

More creators are using platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, or Twitch to publish content and connect with millions of daily users. However, women and people of color remain underrepresented on these content platforms. Thinking of such platforms as workplaces, sociologist Anne-Kathrin Kronberg investigates how platform policies and features affect women’s and people of color’s participation and viewership. Kronberg previously created a longitudinal career panel using daily Twitch activity logs of 2,000 creators, representing a random sample of creators on the platform. Her current study will augment this panel by 1) inspecting creators’ profile pages to identify race and gender and 2) coding all Twitch announcements of policy and feature updates since 2015. These unique data can link platform changes to race and gender differences in participation and viewership, significantly advancing the understanding of platform effects on inequality. | <urn:uuid:c4b21813-a9ca-4479-956a-b217a815d30a> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.russellsage.org/awarded-project/diversifying-digital-platform-workers-effect-platform-policies-and-features-race-and | 2023-02-02T01:46:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499954.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230202003408-20230202033408-00058.warc.gz | en | 0.923716 | 169 |
Many companies once they grow to a certain stage, have a desire to be self-managing. They want to work without having one or two key people always present.

John discussed spiritual technology and how spirituality deals with ultimate questions: “Who am I?” “What am I?” “What am I here to do?” Technology is any tool to assist you in doing something.
How meditation (especially in using iAwake tools) helps in finding your deepest self. Certain meditations focus on the heart center – a beautiful healing place to be. It helps with depression, despair, meaninglessness, disconnection. All kinds of spiritual illnesses can be helped by developing an interior practice that takes you to your own depths of well-being.
It is important that if we want to participate in healing and transformation of the world, we actually should do our own healing and transformation INSIDE.
Themes from this call:
• How spiritual technologies can help answer our profound questions
• Goals of meditation
• Interior awakening

(PNS reporting from SACRAMENTO) Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed legislation Monday that would have made California the first state in the nation to allow legal immigrants who are not citizens to serve on juries.
The governor has recently approved bills expanding the rights of immigrants, including legislation allowing those in the country without documents to apply for driver’s licenses and practice law. Democrat Brown said serving on a jury, however, was a civic duty that should be exclusive to citizens.
Ronaldo Santa Flojeraz (photo), 36, a client of the of Los Angeles Immigrant Rights Labor Center, welcomed Brown’s decision. “Thank you, Governor Brown, for vetoing that bill,” he told PNS. “I was not looking forward to having to avoid the jury duty summons mailers sent by the local courts. I got better things to do.”

MY LESSONS FROM BOTH CHAPTERS
Thank you Father for all that you have done for us, thank you for the word that helps us grow, encourages us, speaks life into our circumstances and gives direction to us all. Halleluyah
Reading Ephesians 3 and Ephesians 4 really touched me in various ways. I have chosen some of the verses from both to discuss.
‘I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called. 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love’
The Most High has chosen us all to be representatives of Himself here on earth, so it is our role to live a well fulfilled life in accordance to our calling- we are His own and so ought to set a good example to others.
To have the qualities of being humble, courageous, bold, wise, gentle, peaceful and patient, it is important to remember that wherever we go people are watching us and so it is important to be a positive image for others to learn from not just that but to be who God has called us to be to fulfil our purposes in life. We are all one, united with the body and in our daily walks with Him we should learn to live with one another, with no division. One body, one spirit, one future, one faith all in one. We must learn to support and complement one another rather than turn against one another.
We all have faults and no one is perfect, but despite that we must be gentle, patient and supportive to others. What you feel is not right in others, do not bring them down by putting out their weaknesses, rather pray for them and let The Most High work on them.
3 ‘endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling’
God leads us all and it is up to us to follow His lead to be willing to do our part and keep up with the peace and unity in life. We are to be selfless and so we must focus on God and not ourselves first.
11 ‘And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ..’
We may be one in Christ, but still have our individualities, we are all spirit filled and have special gifts to help build us up. It is not enough to just know your calling and your special gifts, but you are then expected to use them, the word of God, wisdom and prayer will see you through and where the opportunities to serve are.
Always ask when unsure about anything and God will help you, you aren’t supposed to figure everything out yourself, what would be the point of having God in our lives if we knew everything and could do it all ourselves?
Once you are strengthened you will be encouraged to serve.
As The Most High’s children we have a responsibility to preach the word, pray for others, heal, nurture, build and do many things in and out of the kingdom. But it wouldn’t be possible without The Most High’s intervention, because by our own might we will not succeed. What some of us can do, is not what others can do, but together we can all unite to use our gifts for the common purpose of serving The Most High with obedience.
16 ‘From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.’
We must all be committed to the truth and not the ways of the world. So in all our ways it is important that we reflect the word of God, let the word of God be our reflection, not the things of the world. We are to be honest and wise in our ways, although the truth can be hard to express, we must still gracefully do it knowing that God will see us through.
We are not perfect and will make mistakes but it is important to not let our mistakes drag us down, we grow learning from mistakes and how to better ourselves daily. We all have a purpose and love for God, but we will all fall, but then we can get back up again and in all things keep pressing on. When you see someone is struggling help them up don’t watch people struggle and do nothing, we are all meant to help each other in all we do, we are relational beings and showing love and humility is key
24 ‘And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.’
You are not perfect, but when you come into the kingdom it is crucial that people are able to see a difference between you and non-believers. How we live is not how those in the world live, so set a good example as a believer for others to see. We are full of light and the non-believers are full of darkness, we are not the same and so shouldn’t reflect what they reflect.
We are to leave our old selves of sinful ways behind; it is a process to move from the old ways to the new ways in the kingdom. We may be new creatures in the kingdom but that is not where it stops, we need to renew our minds and thought processes daily, and fight the ways of the flesh. How we think leads to our actions, so to express ourselves we need to be cleansed of negative thoughts and negative attitudes. This is where listening to The Most High comes into practice to hear Him and be led by what we are instructed to do.
CONTROLLING OUR EMOTIONS/ HOW WE ACT:
26 ‘Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. 27 Neither give place to the devil.’
We are human, again we are not perfect and will make mistakes. We will feel angry at times and it is how we handle that anger that matters, how we treat others, what words we use etc. In the world we would have reacted, but in the kingdom we must pray and release the anger to not let it consume us. Do not hold it inside always let it out, as Paul says we should deal with our anger immediately to avoid destroying relationships around us. The devil loves it when we let our anger consume us because when someone is angry they do not handle it well and fall of track, led by emotions pushing them to react in a way God wouldn’t want us to act in.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.’
Paul warns against the use of foul language, wrath, evil speaking, bad attitudes, harsh words etc. But rather than act that way he asks that we should have a forgiving nature and put aside ways that will bring more negativity as opposed to positivity. We are to please God with our actions as well as our attitudes, so act in a loving way towards others and learn as you go along how to overcome negativity.
30 ‘And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.’
We belong to God, the Holy Spirit dwells within us, we are His and He loves us so much to teach us right from wrong along the way, help us when we fall, strengthen us and love us unconditionally.
The Bible gives us direction and shows us what happens when we do not follow God’s lead. Always pray and ask for wisdom and understanding before you read the Bible and He will reveal a lot of things to you.

Maggie’s main concerns, in her own words:
Discovered your podcast a couple of months ago and have been binge-listening. I get something out of every single episode. I calculated my power percentage at 38%…and my MDD around 2026, but in tinkering with other retirement calculators I’m being told that I’m woefully deficient in my retirement savings. As far as I can tell I’m either in really great shape or really terrible shape, depending on which calculator I use. I looked at my budget based on your ideal budget worksheet, and I’m functioning within its guidelines.
Here’s my situation. 46 yo. Two kids (16 and 11). Almost-divorced and 100% on my own with nobody to fall back on (husband, parents, etc). Although I hope I’m not alone the rest of my life, I’m planning my finances as though I will be. I’d like to leave my current job, but I feel trapped here by the pay and benefits that I would not replicate elsewhere.
No debt except for my mortgage ($1,500/month) and a car payment which I only have due to 0% interest ($353/month balance of $14,000). (I know how you feel about that). I could pay off the car but that would ding my emergency fund and I hate to do that. I use my credit card for regular expenses and pay it off every month.
- Fund majority of undergraduate degrees for both kids at state college
- Retire at 62 in a location with a lower cost of living
- Accelerate payment on mortgage.
- Should I roll those Coverdells into the 529s?
- Am I contributing enough to the 529s?
- What is the best (low-risk) place to stash that emergency fund?
- Should I still be contributing to the Traditional IRA even though I’m maxing out the TSP?
- Do I qualify for an HSA? I don’t have a high deductible on my health insurance. Is there another option to pre-save for medical expenses in retirement? If I don’t stay at my job until 62 I don’t get the health insurance with the pension.
- Am I using my “extra money” in the wisest possible way?
- Is it ever going to be “safe” to quit this job, take a pay cut, and still have a comfortable retirement? | <urn:uuid:ea9b9a80-139b-4a03-8050-bb1560764c11> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://petetheplanner.com/ep-162-maggie/ | 2023-03-23T12:17:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945144.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20230323100829-20230323130829-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.951851 | 548 |

The Otsu District Court has determined that the 2011 suicide of a 13-year-old boy in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, was caused by bullying by his junior high classmates. It ordered two of them and their parents to pay ¥37.5 million in damages to the victim’s family. In damages suits over suicide of bullying victims, the plaintiffs often face the high hurdle of proving not only that the bullying caused the victims to take their own life, but also that the bullies were able to foresee the risk of the victims killing themselves as a result of their acts — and in many cases courts have failed to recognize the causal link between the bullying and the suicide. The latest court ruling should serve as a reminder of the grave consequences that bullying can have, and prompt further actions by all relevant parties to prevent this evil phenomenon.
In the high-profile case of the Otsu boy, who jumped to his death in October 2011, municipal authorities initially acknowledged the acts of bullying against the victim but would not recognize that his death was the result of the bullying. Only after the boy’s family sued the city and his classmates, and a third-party probe confirmed the persistent violence and harassment inflicted on the victim, did the city admit fault for not preventing his suicide and reached a settlement with the family. Meanwhile, the case triggered the enactment of legislation requiring schools to report on and take adequate steps to deal with severe cases of bullying.
In its ruling Tuesday, the Otsu District Court determined that as the violence by the classmates escalated, the victim began to harbor “a strong sense of isolation and despair” and began to “wish to die.” During the court proceedings, the lawyers for the classmates argued that they believed they were just “playing” with the victim and did not consider their acts bullying. But the court ruled that the classmates who psychologically tormented the boy with their repeated bullying were able to foresee that the boy might kill himself, thus recognizing the causal link between the bullying and the victim’s suicide. The decision is significant in that it could open the door wider for providing relief to bullying victims.
The 2011 suicide of the Otsu boy and the inadequate response by the school and local authorities to his bullying and death led lawmakers in the Diet to enact a law to promote measures to prevent bullying, which took effect in 2013. The legislation defined bullying as acts that cause students mental or physical pain. Bullying cases in which the victims suffer serious mental, physical or financial damage, including those that result in forcing the victims to miss school for an extended period, are to be dealt with as “grave” situations that need to be reported to the education ministry and local government, with school officials required to look into the facts and disclose the outcome of the probe to the victims’ families.
The education ministry has urged schools to identify cases of bullying, including minor ones, in the early stages and respond before they develop into serious situations. In fact, the number of bullying cases recognized at elementary, junior high and high schools across Japan in fiscal 2017 hit a record 414,000 — roughly double the 2013 figure. The ministry views the surge as evidence that schools are taking steps in line with the legislation. However, the fact that one out of four schools have not reported any bullying suggests that the responses by schools are still mixed.
The number of grave cases in fiscal 2017 also rose by 78 to 474 — proof that damage from the bullying problem continues to be serious. Since 2013, 43 children have taken their own lives after suffering bullying at school. There are still cases in which the families of bullying victims complain that school officials do not take the bullying of their children seriously or dispute the municipal authorities’ conclusion that the victims’ suicides were not the result of bullying — which are often overturned by subsequent third-party probes, leaving the victims’ families distrustful of the schools’ and local officials’ responses to the bullying problem.
More than seven years after the Otsu boy’s suicide, it’s not yet clear whether the parties concerned have sufficiently learned lessons from his case and worked to stamp out bullying before it has serious consequences. The district court’s ruling, which once again warns of the irreparable consequences of bullying, needs to be taken seriously by all parties responsible for handling the problem.

Arshad Warsi, one of Bollywood’s finest comedic actors, is now ready to show he can steal scenes playing negative roles too. His next role is that of a terrorist for hire in Kabber Kaushik’s Qazaa.
“Kaushik has tremendous faith in me. I think I can pull off the villain’s role in Qazaa. It’s not about playing the main role. I’ve refused so many leads – you’d be shocked if I started to count. I’ve two other films where I play negative roles,” Arshad told IANS.

“It doesn’t matter where Mr. Grinch slept,” the father, played by Mikey Day, tells his children when they ask why the Grinch stayed on Christmas Eve. “The important thing is that yesterday his heart grew three sizes.” Kristen Wiig, who plays the mother, responds dryly: “Not the only thing that grew three sizes.”
For those who view the Grinch as an unattractive character with a bad attitude, his turn as an object of desire may be unexpected. But for fans, the appeal is obvious.
“He’s like an anarchic, jaded sad boy,” said Meggie Gates, 27, a freelance writer and comedian in Chicago who explored the Grinch’s sex appeal in detail in an article in Cosmopolitan earlier this month. “He’s the guy who wears Doc Martens, a leather jacket and hat in a bar.” The Grinch is a mess, Mx. Gates added, but that’s part of the appeal: “There’s an innate urge to be like, ‘I can fix this guy.'”
Jacob Baeza, 43, an actor in Orange County, California, has performed as the Grinch at private events. “He’s a bad boy,” said Mr. Baeza, adding that he plays the Grinch’s sass during his performances and even flirts with his audience. “These guys had a ball with me last time,” Mr. Baeza said. ‘They said, ‘Where’s the party?’ ‘Join me tonight.’”
Part of the Grinch’s appeal is its lack of it. “There’s something taboo about thinking he’s sexy,” says Keaghlan Ashley, 32, a prosthetic makeup artist in Anaheim, California, who works with Mr. Drastal was working on his Grinch photo shoot. “Personally I don’t find him attractive, but I’m also a queer woman. I don’t know if I would feel the same if it was a femme Grinch.” | <urn:uuid:ba4b7ac4-240c-4903-9126-cea19e241876> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.dailyexpertnews.com/uncategorized/how-the-sexy-grinch-brightened-up-christmas/ | 2022-05-17T10:59:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662517245.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220517095022-20220517125022-00693.warc.gz | en | 0.97057 | 476 |
