Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta may not have graduated from the U.S. Military Academy, but he has spent his entire adult living out the academy's motto of "Duty, Honor, Country."
First as an Army officer and then as a Representative, Director of the CIA and Secretary of Defense, Panetta has committed his life to public service. He will be honored for that lifelong dedication to the ethos of West Point today as the 2018 recipient of the Sylvanus Thayer Award.
Previous recipients of the award include President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who received the award before it was changed to honor commitment to duty, honor, country by non-West Point graduates, as well as Neil Armstrong, Condoleezza Rice and George W. Bush, the 2017 recipient.
The award is presented annually by the West Point Association of Graduates to a citizen of the United States whose character and accomplishments uphold the motto of "Duty, Honor, Country."
"As a former Army officer and former Secretary of Defense who had the responsibility to deploy our warriors into harm's way, the Thayer Award to me is one of the most important honors of my life," Panetta said. "It is very humbling to join that list that includes not only Eisenhower, but so many of our great statesmen and military heroes in our history. For me, it is a very humbling experience to receive that award."
Panetta served as an Army Intelligence officer from 1964-66 before serving in the House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993. He also served as President Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff before holding the positions of Director of the CIA and Secretary of Defense under President Barack Obama.
As Director of the CIA, Panetta oversaw the operation that led to the discovery and death of Osama Bin Laden following the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
"Public service is about making a difference in the lives of others," Panetta said. "I have had the opportunity in all of my public service jobs to have had some impact on other's lives. But, the pre-eminent accomplishment I think was as Director of the CIA and the planning and overseeing of the mission that brought Bin Laden to justice."
Panetta said as they began that day, they had no way of being certain Bin Laden was at the complex, but they trusted the work of the intelligence officers and the Special Forces team on the ground to go forward and see the mission through.
"We felt, and certainly I felt, that we had enough evidence that we should proceed with the mission, and thank God the president felt the same way," Panetta said. "I can tell you, when we got the code word Geronimo that they had gotten Bin Laden, there was a tremendous relief amongst all those who worked on it and we felt suddenly that all of the work and all of the sacrifice involved was worthwhile."
While at the CIA and Department of Defense, Panetta helped enact changes to policies that made the groups he was overseeing more diverse and opened the doors for more people to serve.
This included overseeing the repealing of "Don't ask, Don't Tell," which applied to LGBTQ members of the military.
"I think everyone should have the opportunity to serve. My experience has proven that everyone has the ability to serve effectively and honorably for this country," Panetta said. "I really believe that our country is much better when we allow everyone the opportunity to serve in uniform. We all owe it to our country and the strength of our country is based on the respect of the dignity of every individual. To have those individuals represented in our military force I think is a very important message to the rest of the world about what the United States of America is really about."
Panetta will be honored with the Thayer Award during a dinner in his honor tonight in the Cadet Mess Hall. During the dinner, he will address the assembled Corps of Cadets who upon graduation will work to uphold that motto of "Duty, Honor, Country" in their own lives of service.
"I have looked into their eyes on the battlefield of Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere throughout the world," Panetta said of West Point graduates. "What I saw was a total devotion to the service of their country. Duty, Honor, Country, I think is more than a motto. It is their lives. They are putting their lives on the line in order to protect their country. I have always been greatly impressed by that total commitment to our nation.
"Basic to the ability to do the job has been a respect for Duty, Honor and Country. If those values are there, I think our country will always not only survive, but thrive in the future," he added.
A Brigade Review will be held on The Plain at 5 p.m. today and the Thayer Award dinner will be begin at 6:30 p.m. | <urn:uuid:a997f2c4-5f48-4810-bd87-82d1fb4b1eaf> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://www.army.mil/article/212004/former_secretary_of_defense_panetta_to_receive_thayer_award | 2018-10-21T05:02:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583513686.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20181021031444-20181021052944-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.985197 | 1,023 |

Ending a post-election stand-off, Republican Tom Cross has accepted defeat to Democrat Mike Frerichs in the hotly contested battle to be Illinois treasurer.
"With the final votes counted, this election now has a conclusive outcome and I have congratulated Sen. Frerichs on a hard-fought victory. Sen, Frerichs has demonstrated time and time again his commitment to our state and that will serve all of us well as he becomes Illinois’ next state treasurer," said Cross in a statement Wednesday.
Two weeks ago, Cross led Frerichs by around 20,000 votes. But ballots had yet to be counted, and as results trickled in, the gap between the two candidates closed signicantly amid loud complaints from Cross' campaign.
"While there are as many as 1,000 ballots still to count across Illinois, this race is being decided by tens of thousands of Rauner-Frerichs voters: independents in suburbs from Winnetka to Orland Park, from Waukegan to Joliet in the collar counties, and from Rock Island to deep Southern Illinois. Both candidates brought original ideas to a spirited public debate," Frerichs spokesman Dave Clarkin told Ward Room, referencing Republican Gov.-Elect Bruce Rauner's Nov. 4 victory.
Frerichs, a state senator, is slated to give a speech at 3 p.m. in Springfield. He will step into his new position to replace GOP Treasurer Dan Rutherford in January. | <urn:uuid:cde6090d-34be-4be5-8bb5-ceb75c003d1b> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Tom-Cross-concedes-defeat-to-mike-frerichs-illinois-treasurer-race-283214961.html | 2019-10-20T11:08:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986707990.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20191020105426-20191020132926-00505.warc.gz | en | 0.973631 | 303 |

By Chali Mulenga in Livingstone-The PF, UPND pact has described the Movement for Multiple Party (MMD) government as “rotten”.
Speaking in Livingstone at a forum organized by the press freedom committee of the Post Saturday, Siavonga MP Douglas Siakalima said the MMD had made the system in government become rotten and that only change in leadership could be able to reverse it.
He said this had contributed to Levy Mwanawasa being sent to an early grave as he was fighting against corruption alone.
Siakalima said things were so bad in Zambia that people were fooled in believing that these were the Biblical last days.
He explained that it was quite shocking that war torn countries were better off than Zambia in terms of development.
He added that it was sad that countries that were recovering from war or conflict could surpass Zambia.
He expressed sadness that Zambians were not able to demonstrate for the nurses that went on strike as a lot of people died during the strike.
He wondered why Zambians took pride in singing the national anthem when they were not really proud and free men in their country.
And Given Lubinda who is PF spokeperson said that history had it that political pacts always worked in Zambia like the ANC UNIP pact in 1972 and when the MMD was formed it was the work of a pact.
He said in 2008 the RuphiahBanda formed an unholy pact with the Edith Nawakwi ,Sakwiba Sikota and Ben Mwila.
He asked, “did the pact fail to win and why will this pact fail , whether Ruphiah wats it or not the pact will win.
He said Ruphiah Banda and MMD are not a factor to the pact as their time is already marked as they are people that had no respect for human dignity
He assured the people that the vision of the pact was beyond the 2011 and the vision would drive their work.
He said “people in the pact share common vision and have a lot of experience to this country forward”.
He castigated vice president George Kunda’,s brian had gone to sleep and that the apct was giving him sleepless nights.
He said that there no need to impeach Banda as he only had 18 months to leave office.
He promised the people that pact would revisit the Chiluba’s cases when it forms government in 2011 | <urn:uuid:ddd204a4-6893-4255-bde9-572d331d7e5b> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.zambiawatchdog.com/rotten-mmd-sent-mwanawasa-to-early-grave-mp/ | 2019-04-26T03:41:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578759182.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190426033614-20190426055614-00204.warc.gz | en | 0.989424 | 517 |

Organic and natural Gardening - Started in the United States through the 1940s and 1950s, organic and natural gardening is basically based on the concept of feeding the ground and not the vegetable. It thinks that trees, plants are part of something in nature. Organic and natural gardeners do not use any man-made fabricated fertilizers, nutrition or pesticides. They effectively apply the natural manure, compost or homemade infestations controls for herb nutrition. They expand plants suitable for the conditions available. The organic and natural garden ideas follow decorum with the type, for a healthy environment.
Water Gardening - A pond packed with lilies, a fountain, small cascading stream in an exclusive garden are perfect places for pleasure and peacefulness. If space is not factor, then water gardening is one garden idea to cherish. The tiny fountains in the center of your garden, a stream operating across the garden have an instant effect on its exquisiteness. This gardens are getting on popularity because of their charm and energy. They attract a big number of parrots. Ponds can be dug in to the surface and fountains are available in all sizes and shapes. To be more cost-effective, old cisterns or washtubs could be used to grow normal water lilies in them. | <urn:uuid:d93377e3-e7f8-4d55-bd38-d34caf03bab8> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://www.catsandflorals.com/cute-easy-garden-trivia/extraordinary-free-printable-nursery-rhyme-quiz-baby-shower-quiz-fun-baby-as-cute-easy-garden-trivia/ | 2018-01-19T03:37:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084887729.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20180119030106-20180119050106-00670.warc.gz | en | 0.927037 | 264 |
Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be a writer. It all began when I won a school prize for a fourth-grade creative writing project (an exciting series about the ups and downs of the Gumdrops, a fourth-grade kickball team). I was hooked.
Since then, I have been writing non-stop from high school to college to my first job over 10 years ago as a sports writer covering Florida State University football for the Thomasville (Ga.) Times-Enterprise. From there, I worked at the Greenville (S.C.) News-Piedmont until I moved to Baltimore in 1996 to work at the Baltimore Sun where I became the special sections manager, overseeing over 200 sections a year.
In 2002, I made the leap into the freelance writing world and have written about an array of topics – from interior design, travel, real estate, education, healthcare and home improvement to weddings, fitness and history. I have been published in the Baltimore Sun, do! magazine (a national home improvement magazine), Washington Post, WHERE Baltimore, Maryland Family, Baby Steps, Baltimore Construction News, Washington Construction News, Career Focus, Daily Record, Port of Baltimore Magazine and as a restaurant critic for the Washington Blade. Whatever the assignment or topic, I deliver well-written, concise and engaging content – always on deadline. As an editor myself, I understand the importance of adhering to deadlines and aim to make life for other editors easier by delivering on time.

The Bureau of Land Management announced new appointments to its citizen-based Northwest Resource Advisory Council (RAC) this week and Pitkin County Commissioner, George Newman is among the appointees. The RAC, composed to members with diverse interests and backgrounds, advises the BLM on public land issues.
“I am excited about representing Pitkin County and the Roaring Fork Valley on the BLM NW RAC. The challenge is always balancing the uses of these public lands while understanding and managing their unique ecosystems. I look forward to these discussions and recommendations to the BLM and Secretary of the Interior,” said Pitkin County Commissioner, George Newman.
The RACs include citizens chosen for their expertise in natural resource issues. They help the BLM carry out its nation-wide stewardship of 245 million acres – the largest land portfolio of any federal agency. The BLM has established 28 RACs across the West, where most BLM-managed land is located.
Each RAC consists of 10 to 15 members who represent stakeholder interests in public land management, such as conservationists, outdoor recreationists, ranchers, industry officials, tribal leaders, state and local government officers, academics, and others.
The BLM, an agency of the Interior Department, is responsible for managing these various uses – such as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production – while conserving the land’s natural, historical, and cultural resources.
"By working with federal, state, local and tribal governments, as well as leaders from the industry and conservation communities, the BLM’s Resource Advisory Councils exemplify the collaborative approach taken by the Department in handling public land issues,” said Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. “I want to welcome our newly appointed RAC members and salute them for their commitment to public service. Their counsel will serve the BLM well as the agency works to ensure the health and productivity of America’s public lands.”
Below are the newly appointed members of the Northwest RAC, which will meet on April 25-27 in Glenwood Springs.
• David Ludlam, Category 1 appointment (energy and minerals development) • Lori Buck, Category 1 appointment (developed outdoor recreation and commercial recreation)• Mike Pritchard, Category 2 appointment (dispersed recreation) • Connor Coleman, Category 2 appointment (environmental organizations) • George Newman, Category 3 appointment (elected official)
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs.

To be honest, anyone can master this, you don't need to know any maths or complicated formulas, it's all common sense if you really look at it. There were thousands of people following the competition each day. Here are some tips that might help you make the right decision: Remember, this is the same system that I won the Surefire Trading Challenge with System Rules Part 2 In this webinar, Cristina showed more trade examples related to the Scientific Forex system rules.
RoverNorth or no more than commonly known trading methods. The SFTC results for Cristina Ciurea are here , she got lucky on a couple of USDJPY large moves as the other trades are nothing special and so without those two large moves she would not even have been a runner-up, still the method may be useful to some, I'd only be interested in looking at a 5th of the price, so hopefully we'll get to know more once it's released and the details shared, I hate continuing to make marketing guru's such as Mark McRae any richer and will only take any promoted trading system seriously if real-time results were shown on a service like fxbook, especially when it's a high cost and all the hype and toys don't prove anything.

I think it is still a good assistant for the analysis of the situation. In the picture are two variants of development of the situation.

After that, upward movement starts in the red wave 2. In both cases we suggest that the movement will go up after green point 2. This is the entrance to buy with low-risk.

After looking and listening closely to her videos, especially the one about how she prepares for a trading day it's clear that she has been 'scripted' to say the lines she has been given, which are not her words and indeed in my conclusion not her real occupation.
I base the conclusions of how she speaks certain words like 'Analyses' instead of 'Analysis'. A person of her supposed profession would have come across the english term of technical 'analysis' at least a hundred times in every day speak and in the European economic degree that is proported. So in my opinion the marketing and the current face for the product appears disingenuine. In regards to a claim helping a good number of traders via 'facebook' or emails, it's too much for her to do.
Old Tree Publishing for many years ever since they started with version 1 of their trading challenge. I can certainly validate that results were not repeatable for any of their most reputable traders for any of their top 50 trading systems, which they apparently 'fully disclosed'. After checking the trade logs of some of the best like RoverNorth, I discovered it won the competition by a single trend trade which was totally out of character for this scalping system, but had it not made that trade.
There were thousands of people following the competition each day. The first round was a demo round and the competition was fierce. Even though I was competing with some of the best traders in the world, I still managed to make After the dust had settled, the top 30 traders were selected to go through to the next round.

Nancy Pelosi fighting for House speakership votes
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is scrambling to shore up the support she needs to become speaker again, just days after she led her party to retake the chamber for the first time since 2010.
A small but increasingly vocal faction of Democratic defectors say fresh leadership is needed to ensure rank-and-file members are heard. They claim they have enough Democrats ready to prevent Pelosi — who has led her caucus for 16 years — from regaining the gavel, but they declined to release all their names.
On Thursday, Pelosi brushed off the threat and said she has the votes needed to win the speakership, which will be determined in a January vote on the House floor. She hinted that sexism may be playing a role in the effort, saying that 14 of the 17 lawmakers who have reportedly signed a letter in opposition to her are men.
“You’d have to ask them. If, in fact, there is any misogyny involved in it, it’s their problem, not mine,” Pelosi said. “I enjoy a tremendous amount of support from the women in our caucus, from the new members who are women in our caucus. And so I get the upside, I think, of being a woman.”
Pelosi’s critics deny that sexism a factor.
“This is not about Nancy Pelosi being a woman,” said Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.), one of the lawmakers promising to vote no, pointing to some of the newly elected representatives who have also pledged to vote no. “These are all strong, intelligent women who … won really difficult races. And they should not be disrespected that way. There are other women to support in this caucus who are perfectly capable of being in leadership.”
Depending on how the final uncalled House races are decided, Pelosi can lose no more than 12 to 19 votes.
“The numbers are extremely close,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), who is backing Pelosi. “I’m concerned about the situation... Democrats being Democrats, we like a good fight. We just wouldn’t be Democrats without some drama.”
Pelosi has faced rebellion in the Democratic ranks before and always managed to emerge on top. But this time the struggle could be more difficult.
So far no one has declared their intention to directly challenge Pelosi. But Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) said she is considering.
According to a tally of public comments, 12 newly elected members have pledged to vote against Pelosi in the speaker’s race, which will be decided as the first vote in the new Congress in January. Some have made ironclad promises to oppose her under “any circumstances,” and others have made less strident promises. Another dozen incumbents are expected to vote no, according to public statements and sources whipping against Pelosi.
But it is unclear whether that opposition will hold and if it is actually enough to deny her the speakership.
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) is one of several lawmakers gathering signatures on the letter of opposition, which he hopes will persuade Pelosi to step aside and allow new Democrats to assume leadership roles.
The Huffington Post this week said 17 names are already on the letter. Both Moulton and Rice suggested that there are more ready to get on the letter.
Moulton said he plans to release the letter before a Nov. 28 closed-door Democratic meeting where the party will select the person it will put forward as speaker on the House floor.
“The whole point of the letter is to accelerate the process so it doesn’t spill out onto the floor,” Moulton said, suggesting he doesn’t want Democrats to be embarrassed by losing a vote live on television. “She’s the one who is trying to drive this to a floor vote. We want to make it clear before it comes to that that she should step aside.”
Pelosi allies have been whipping members to support her and have released letters outlining her fundraising and legislative prowess.
In the last 15 years, she has raised $728 million for Democratic members and in the last election cycle, she raised about half of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s spending.
Among those circulating letters of support: the head of Emily’s List, a group that helps female candidates who support abortion rights and that backed the vast majority of the new female members; leaders of the healthcare group Protect Our Care; and the heads of several labor groups. Support has also come from fellow members who are expected to lead committees, including Reps. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, Richard E. Neal of Massachusetts, Nydia M. Velazquez of New York and Eliot L. Engel of New York.
Supporters argue that Pelosi has more than proved herself an effective leader and is ready to stand up to President Trump or Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“We’ve got a battle-tested leader at the top, and I’m hoping that she will absolutely win,” said Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), a close Pelosi ally. “She’s been in the room where it happens. She really understands, as one of the smartest strategists I’ve ever seen — even in the minority she has managed to run circles around the Republicans.
“The question is,” Schakowsky said, “will some minority of the Democratic caucus try to sideline her on the floor, which I think will be very destructive.”
Publicly rebuking Pelosi could have significant consequences if she does ultimately win the speakership. She will help determine committee assignments and which bills get to the floor, among other decisions that could make life easier or more difficult for freshman members.
Pelosi has strategies in her arsenal as she pursues the majority votes she will need on the House floor. There are 435 members of the House; if all races are decided and every member votes, she’ll need 218 in her favor.
She can ask those who oppose her to vote “present” instead of casting a vote for someone else. A “present” vote would essentially count as if that member did not vote at all instead of a vote against her, reducing the total number of votes she’ll need.
Pelosi allies say members who promised they would not vote for her could also live up to that pledge by voting against her in the Democratic secret ballot, but then reluctantly vote for her on the floor or vote “present” when the only other choice would likely be a Republican. But even some Pelosi allies acknowledge that would be politically difficult.
“It’s going to be tough if the first — on the very first day, on TV, out loud, you have to renege on that promise,” said Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.).
New members say they are already being hounded for votes in the various leadership elections that Democrats will hold after Thanksgiving.
The speaker’s race is “definitely the topic of conversation that everyone is having” at new-member orientation, which began Tuesday, said Rep.-elect Katie Hill, who came out in support of Pelosi on Thursday.
Pelosi’s allies blame Republicans — who have spent years and millions of dollars campaigning against her — for forcing Democratic candidates to pledge to oppose her. Such campaigns have taken a toll on Pelosi’s public approval.
Among Democrats, 23% support Pelosi for speaker, according to a Monmouth University poll released Wednesday. Thirty-six percent prefer someone else, and 41% have no opinion.

Pro-active sellers could get jump on property market
Those considering selling their home should be more proactive in the way they present it, according to a leading property advice company.
With the market currently in turmoil and house prices continuing to fall, sellers are being forced to do all they can to make their home more attractive and valuable to help attract buyers and avoid gazundering.
Rightmove commercial director Miles Shipshide said that sellers who think outside the box might fare better than others.
"People who are prepared to wait longer [to sell], Im sure they become disillusioned and blame the market whereas actually they need to be a bit more proactive to sell."
A great way to improve the value and attractiveness of the home would be to add a conservatory or glazed extension to the home.
Not only would this give it extra value and appeal to potential buyers, it would make it a more pleasant place to live in the meantime while the search for a buyer continues.
A Zoopla! survey recently revealed that 97.3 per cent of UK properties have declined in value over the past 12 months, perhaps suggesting that it would be better to improve than move. | <urn:uuid:7aebb914-dc9d-42a8-a638-e36f8d015463> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.gabrielash.com/de/blogs/news/pro-active-sellers-could-get-jump-on-property-market | 2023-03-27T23:28:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296948708.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20230327220742-20230328010742-00055.warc.gz | en | 0.963282 | 240 |
- Papa John's CEO was slammed on Twitter for saying NFL players' protests dragged down the chain's sales.
- Frozen pizza brand DiGiorno piled on, with a tweet implying Papa John's tastes like "dog s---."
- Papa John's changed its Twitter bio to read: "Frozen pizza = the pizza equivalent of a participation trophy."
Papa John's just shot back at DiGiorno Pizza.
On Wednesday, Papa John's founder and CEO John Schnatter criticized NFL leadership and blamed players protesting during the national anthem for dragging down the pizza chain's sales.
The response was rapid. While some people rallied around Papa John's in support, others took the opportunity to roast the chain – including by insulting the quality of its pizza.
DiGiorno Pizza was one of the Twitter accounts to pile on. On Wednesday, the pizza brand seemingly subtweeted the competition via emoji:
A second tweet clarified that this was definitely aimed at Papa John's, implying that the chain's pizza tastes like "dog s---."
On Thursday, Papa John's tweeted "#NewTwitterBio."
The new bio: "Frozen pizza = the pizza equivalent of a participation trophy," a clear jab at DiGiorno.
The "participation trophy" insult will likely resonate with many of Papa John's supporters on the right who have rallied around the chain after Schnatter's comments. The idea of "participation trophies" are a common criticism, especially from the right, often used to criticize political correctness and millennials. | <urn:uuid:dcf65827-5213-4d60-97cd-761c15be6926> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.insider.com/papa-johns-shoots-back-digiorno-with-participation-trophy-jab-2017-11 | 2020-05-29T17:21:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347405558.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20200529152159-20200529182159-00107.warc.gz | en | 0.951424 | 311 |

A few Digital Alley workers are already craning to see which food trucks will serve their lunch at San Francisco’s SOMA StrEAT Food Park when the French bistro truck, France Delices, pulls into the gravel lot by a highway overpass and shoehorns between Kung Fu Tacos and Bacon! Bacon! A tweet broadcasts the day’s roster. Fans all across town are receiving tweets and text alerts about favorite trucks’ locations and daily specials.
Meanwhile, high in the Andean mountains, a supplier to San Francisco chocolate maker TCHO pulls a tray of cacao beans from a toaster oven, examines and smells them, then mashes a bean to sample its flavor. He is one of a few select farmers in South America, Central America, and Africa who work with TCHO. Before TCHO’s training, he had never tasted his own beans, known their unique flavor profile, or understood the value of his product, which now graces high-end groceries and eateries across North America.
Food trucks and family farms aren’t the most obvious businesses benefiting from rapid advances in core digital technologies. But in both the highest-tech new industries and traditional hands-on small businesses, advances in social software, cloud computing, and other technologies are reducing the cost of identifying and managing a large number of participants in a diverse ecosystem. The result: decentralized participation, creation, and innovation are combining with centralized orchestration, infrastructure, and marketing to create value for consumers, suppliers, and distributors alike.
The most exciting implications stem not from any one piece of hardware or software, but from the way technology enables many more players to participate in markets and in innovation. Organizations can now tap into vastly more talent, capabilities, and resources, including very small scale or sole proprietors’ businesses. Smaller players have greater agency than ever, yet they depend on functioning platforms to connect with each other and potential customers and collaborators.
As the examples above typify, integration of virtual with physical platforms is key to enabling scale and broader reach. At StrEAT Foods, the physical platform is the parking lot, sheltered seating, Wi-Fi, and bathrooms, which attract a large and constant customer pool for food entrepreneurs who are still tweaking their concepts. The market benefits from each truck’s loyal following and legions of Twitter fans. Long-time restaurateur Carlos Muela, the park’s owner, hosts after-work parties and movie nights, and maintains a daily StrEAT Food presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where he posts gorgeous, easily shareable images to feed the foodie photo trend.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for integrating physical and virtual platforms. StrEAT Food’s vendors largely own their customer relationships, but for the chocolate, TCHO is the face to the customer and the conduit to market for its farmer-participants. TCHO’s technology includes low-end, easy-to-maintain Flavor Labs—including modified hairdryers and slow cookers— installed at suppliers’ facilities that level the playing field and put taste and quality information in the hands of the growers. But TCHO also uses software to connect and communicate with farmers .
Skype provides easy and cheap communications, and the cloud-based software tool Cropster tracks cocoa beans from the tree and farm to the port. The tool lets TCHO determine exactly which Peruvian farmer supplied one fruity chocolate bar. But TCHO still must maintain a physical presence with suppliers: the chocolate maker works with Equal Exchange, an organization that helps promote fair trade standards and connect high-quality food producers in developing countries to develop supplier co-ops and host live events that bring farmers and cocoa experts together in working groups to improve crop quality and farming productivity.
These examples also highlight an interesting dichotomy: virtual and physical platforms playing off each other can be effective at a hyper-local and a global level. With his portfolio of 70-plus food trucks, food park owner Muela brokers event catering and other special services, matches specific demands with unique suppliers, and provides opportunities–such as the night shift at the city’s public hospital–for trucks hungry for exposure.
Meanwhile, virtual platforms like Roaming Hunger and Mobi Munch connect vendors and consumers across the country. Maps and an app let customers track, rate, and receive alerts from their favorite trucks. Other services connect advertisers to trucks for vehicle wraps, business planning support, permitting, and compliance support, as well as truck and equipment purchasing and rental.
The interactions and relationships these platforms facilitate are becoming more important for value creation. For instance, just as FlavorLabs and sensory training allow farmers to collect timely feedback on their beans, a TCHOPro program enables chocolate-lovers and pastry chefs to give their input in product development. TCHO does not use additives to derive its fruity, nutty, and other flavors, but rather relies on unique terroir, fermentation, and roasts. Consistent flavor profiles is key for quality, and consumer feedback contributes to shorter product release cycles and spurs experimentation and innovation without high costs.
TCHO and StEAT Food’s stories should inspire other organizations to consider how new technologies and business practices can be combined to create models that invite participation from beyond the organization’s walls. The platform owner incurs the expense of building and maintaining core infrastructure, but third parties participate in growth and become stakeholders. Shared interest is ever more important when a business must rely on signals from multiple sources and act on them across multiple organizations, such as when a branded company is trying to meet demand in a new country.
Questions for organizations:
- What platforms can I provide that are currently inaccessible, but might be invaluable to my partners and potential partners?
- What platforms are already out there that I may be able to participate in?
- How can I extend this platform to create even more value in either physical or virtual space? What do potential participants have to offer? Are they the physical presence, the quality promise, the innovation, the marketing, the customer?
- How can I use these platforms to access feedback loops and accelerate learning?

Morton reached out and tugged his coat sleeve. “Come along, Jimmy,” he said softly, feeling, himself, both sorrow and guilt. Half-reluctantly, the young man turned away, and they pushed through the crowd, which was suddenly abuzz with chatter, and even laughter. But neither Morton nor Presley shared in this odd sense of release. They went quite a distance before a hackney-coach presented itself. Morton quietly gave the driver the address of the Bow Street Magistrate's Court, not wanting anyone in the crowd to hear.
Morton saw despair written there, but defiance as well, and anger. “Here's a pleasant diversion for you,” the condemned man hurled out, “watching old Caleb Smeeton and his good wife hang! ” He paused and Morton thought the man would break down, but he went on, strangely calm. “But how did those fine Bow Street men know where to nab us? Just where to be, and at what hour? ” he bitterly answered his own question, and glared out at the crowd. “Friends like you … “Aye, one of our own peached on us… the same as told us about the panney, and what hour the owner would be away.
Acton hesitated. ” The jarvey's shoulders sagged. “Off Cartwright Square,” he said. ” Morton mulled it over a moment more. “What is it you're not telling me, Ralph? ” “Nay, nay. ” The jarvey shifted from foot to foot. Morton stared hard at the man, but it had only the effect of causing him to shift more rapidly. The Runner drew out his hand, with a single shilling in it, which he turned reflectively in his fingers. “I will find out what happened to Mr. Glendinning, Ralph, you may be sure of that. | <urn:uuid:32e85f91-47aa-4f2c-8055-d1eea96346ba> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | http://musicbeast.com/lib/amnesia-peter-zak-book-1 | 2018-08-20T15:00:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221216475.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180820140847-20180820160847-00455.warc.gz | en | 0.958869 | 1,409 |

Breastfeeding Friendly Community Pools
Many young families enjoy our public pools with their children. Some community centres offer swim programs for infants as young as 6 months. Even if an infant isn't 'swimming', they may accompany a parent to the pool with their older siblings. Babies breastfeed often and it is best if they are fed responsively - meaning they are not made to wait, unnecessarily. The BC Human Rights Tribunal supports a mother to breastfeed anytime, anywhere.
Babies breastfed at the pool side (or even if mom is partially in the water) is not a health risk to the infant or the public.

When I first came across this concept, in theBhagavad Gita, about 20 years ago, I was immediately fascinated by it. Not being subjected to birth, old age, disease and death got my attention. It’s safe to say that no one is looking forward to these aspects of life.
We do our very best to avoid old age, disease and death, but to no avail. We don’t want to look or get old and the proof of this is in the hundreds of billions of dollars that are spent by the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries in trying to preserve our youth and vigor. We’ll do just about anything to keep on looking young — stretch, pull, nip, tuck — whatever it takes. It’s an attempt to have eternal youth. | <urn:uuid:e0d1bf31-5957-4874-82ad-5a2dfdf3f22f> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://themuslimtimes.info/2012/03/21/bhagavad-gita-you-are-not-the-body/ | 2021-09-20T18:15:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057083.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20210920161518-20210920191518-00266.warc.gz | en | 0.966709 | 173 |

Smooth and creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling is poured over a Golden Oreo crust – these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are an easy way to get your pumpkin cheesecake fix!
Well, it is time. I tried to wait, but I just couldn’t. It is futile to try to resist it. And what is “it” you ask? PUMPKIN!!! I’m actually kind of mad at myself…I try not to bake with pumpkin until it is fall, and just because the calendar says September and school has started does not mean it is fall yet – there are still 12 more days of summer left!! And with the temperatures in NYC right now, it feels like early August! But I just couldn’t help myself. Pumpkin has overtaken the blogging world, and after looking at pumpkin recipe after pumpkin recipe, I just HAD to make something for myself. After all, pumpkin is one of my absolute favorite things to bake with – I devoted a whole week to pumpkin deliciousness last year! So, for my first recipe of the season I bring you Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars with a Golden Oreo Crust – a pretty great way to kick off pumpkin season!
I know that I’m supposed to be celebrating all things pumpkin, but I must say, the crust steals the show in these delicious pumpkin cheesecake bars. This is my first time working with Golden Oreos, and I think I’m in love (and no, this is not sponsored!). The flavor of this crust blows graham cracker crusts out of the water. The crust is formed from golden oreo crumbs and some melted butter pressed into the bottom of a pan and then prebaked for about 10 minutes – it gets all browned and nutty tasting and is the absolute perfect complement to the pumpkin cheesecake filling. I seriously want to make as many recipes as possible with a golden oreo crust – I’m obsessed.
I love making cheesecake bars because they are really easy to make! The filling comes together in no time! In addition to cream cheese and pumpkin, I added some Greek yogurt – I used yogurt in these peanut butter cheesecake bars, and it created such a great light texture.
One tip in making the filling – make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. Otherwise the mixture will not come together nicely and the cream cheese could get lumpy. This is VERY important. But once everything is at room temp, the rest of the filling is a cinch! Just mix together, pour over the crust, and pop in the oven. So easy – much easier than making an actual pumpkin cheesecake! Pumpkin cheesecake bars might be my new favorite fall treat.
Some more pumpkin favorites!

New Choices Program Leads to Career Success for Philadelphia Resident
(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA, May 12, 2014)—Lawanda Connelly of Philadelphia had been working for 11 years at a major pharmaceutical company when she was laid off unexpectedly. Everything about finding a job had changed during that time, from writing her résumé to the interviewing process. Her savings and severance pay were now gone and she was not prepared for extended unemployment with a child to support. That is when an acquaintance told her about the New Choices Career Development Program at Delaware County Community College.
Connelly enrolled in the program and decided to take full advantage of everything offered. She was open to suggestions and excited to explore her options. Through a series of assessments offered before and during class, Connelly was able to consider new career paths. “The New Choices staff and interns were very helpful and encouraging. They saw something in me I didn’t see in myself,” she says.
Upon completing the program, Connelly interviewed for three jobs, and to her surprise, she was offered all three positions. “For the first time in my life I had to turn down two job opportunities.” She credits New Choices with giving her the confidence to put her best foot forward and truly revealing “new choices” for career options not previously considered. Connelly notes that New Choices showed her that she is most comfortable mentoring others… and that is her true passion. She is currently working full time in a position with Accolade helping other people make their best possible choices about healthcare. Her position allows her to utilize her skills and guide others in a supportive role.
It was hard for Connelly to say what she enjoyed the most about the New Choices program because she got so very much from the experience; however, she was touched and humbled by one particular experience and will always treasure the encouraging notes written by her classmates. “New Choices is a great program—you get out of it what you put in. They believed in me and encouraged me to pursue my true passion. They serve a great purpose.”
Delaware County Community College’s New Choices Career Development Program is offering a three-week condensed session beginning May 28 and ending June 18. Classes will be held Monday through Thursday. The program is free and provides individual and group support, career planning workshops, employer contacts, networking connections, résumé writing, interviewing techniques and basic computer skills. The goal is to assist individuals in gaining the knowledge and skills needed to find a job, enhance career opportunities, and become self-supporting.

Do patent applications and confidentiality agreements offer the same level of protection for my invention?
A confidentiality agreement is an agreement to keep the information disclosed by the inventor secret. This secrecy requirement is common among all confidentiality agreements, although other terms may be incorporated into the agreement. Unfortunately, even if the investor or licensee signs a confidentiality agreement, you still have a relatively high burden of proof before you can enforce the terms of the agreement. For example, you have to prove things such as which ideas you disclosed and if the other party actually breached the terms of the confidentiality agreement. Additionally, you have to pay your attorney fees upfront or convince an attorney to take your case on a contingent basis before getting a damage award from the court.
A patent application does not impose confidentiality, but it does provide protection against investors and licensees stealing your idea. By filing a patent application before you disclose your idea to the investors and licensees, they won’t be able to get their own patent protection for the invention that you disclosed to them. Your application will count as prior art against their application. Additionally, when you ultimately obtain a patent, you have enforceable rights and can sue them for infringement damages.
Patent applications will always be more expensive to obtain than confidentiality agreements, but their long-term benefits likely outweigh the upfront costs. Also, because disclosure of your invention prior to filing a patent can be problematic, the best course of action is to usually file a patent application first and then have any potential collaborators sign a confidentiality agreement. | <urn:uuid:895894d0-f494-4015-971f-aa65072ba22a> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://patentfile.org/confidentiality-agreements-ndas-and-patent-applications-which-come-first/ | 2020-03-30T19:35:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370497301.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20200330181842-20200330211842-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.949666 | 306 |
James 1:19–25; 2:14, 18–26comment (0)

Live Your Faith
James 1:19–25; 2:14, 18–26
I remember summer days spent with childhood friends in my neighborhood. Sometimes we would find a flat spot of dirt under a cool shade tree and “shoot” marbles. My friends had better aim than I did, and my marbles were usually knocked out of the circle and lost. Since we played for “keeps,” I ended most games with fewer marbles than at the start. Albert Einstein once said insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Obedient followers of Christ recognize faith in Him involves a willingness to be transformed. Thinking and acting in ways consistent with the call of Christ are often incongruous with the prevailing thought and behavior in society. Many Christians find it convenient to practice a Sunday morning faith, showing little evidence of a life-changing relationship with Christ in the workplace or other contexts the rest of the week. Transformative faith changes who we are, how we think and what we do every day we are given to live.
Casual Christianity is not sufficient for our day. As children shooting marbles do, followers of Christ must “play for keeps,” or take their faith very, very seriously. Without such transformation, our lives make little difference for the cause of Christ.
Receive the Implanted Word (1:19–21)
Many people behave as if James’ proverb has been reversed — they are quick to speak and slow to listen. The admonition reminds readers that one’s proper attitude before God is “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening,” not “Hear, Lord, for your servant is speaking.” Why did James follow this statement with a comment on anger? Evidently “talk” was a problem in the church at the time. Perhaps unkind or untrue words were being spoken about others. Maybe language intended to hurt rather than heal was common. Regrettably a similar condition exists in many churches today. James called his readers to “get rid of” this evil talk — literally “lay aside” or “strip off” like removing filthy clothing. Cleansed appropriately, the implanted Word received with humility can take root, thrive and bring salvation of souls.
Do the Word (1:22–25)
“Doing beats talking every time.” These words were used in a full-page ad in USA Today the day following the 1986 flight of Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager in Voyager. Until their successful attempt, people talked about a nonstop round-the-world flight on one tank of gas but no one turned talk into action. Their unusual looking airplane now hangs in a place of honor in the main gallery at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington. Most of us are familiar with people who know and use the “words” of faith. Many of these people are quick to offer a superficial spiritual platitude, but their actions reveal the Word has not taken root in their lives. For true followers of Christ, “doing beats talking every time.”
Perfect Your Faith (2:14, 18–26)
Faith or works — is one more important than the other? This question has been a subject of conversation among Christians across the centuries. Some believe good works are sufficient to prove one’s faith. Others believe personal devotion and holy living are the best expressions of faith in God. James argued that Christians should not place greater emphasis on one over the other nor can there be one without the other. Both are essential in the life of the believer. He offered strong words to the “foolish” who think transformative faith occurs without works. Jewish thought about the physical body came from the account of the creation of mankind. God “breathed” into Adam the breath of life. To the Jew, this life-giving force, or spirit, was essential for life. The body without the spirit was lifeless — dead. James used the analogy of the body to make clear his contention that faith without works is dead. A living faith by its very nature expresses itself in works. | <urn:uuid:58240a9d-dc22-41fa-b92f-36872fae592a> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.thealabamabaptist.org/print-edition-article-detail.php?id_art=13318&pricat_art=5 | 2016-05-31T14:10:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464051342447.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524005542-00104-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957507 | 937 |

IT IS NEVER the story itself; it’s how you tell it that makes a tale sing. Damien Chazelle’s film First Man, which celebrates the story of Neil Armstrong – the world’s first man on the moon – fits this bill perfectly. It’s the tale of not only a scientific and political conquest, during the Cold War, but it’s about adventure and an ordinary family. And this conflation of values makes it one of those grand stories beautifully told that warms the cockles of everyone’s heart.
You know the story – you may have lived through it, you may have read of it in history books or understand it through popular cliché. Above all, you know how the Space Race ends in July of 1969, and this is why it becomes rich entertainment: There are effectively no unknowns here. There are enormous climaxes in the technicality of travelling to outer space with gauges on machines that you do not understand. What you do understand about these gauges is the scariness when the pressure valves go rogue and how terrifying it is when things catch fire.
You also understand what it is to be an ordinary person who suffers loss and who veers from the public eye. With an extraordinarily fine interpretation of Neil Armstrong by Ryan Gosling, the tale is not only about landing on the moon. It’s about a husband and a father. It’s about how the slightest trigger can take a bereaved person right back to the bedside of his beloved late person and how the sadness is not out there on his sleeve, but always in there, in his heart. Armstrong lost his toddler, Karen, in 1962.
First Man is one of those movies predicated on a story of such great victory that it’s almost a winner before you’ve seen it. However, Chazelle ramps it up further, with the casting of Claire Foy as Armstrong’s wife Janet. This extremely fine performer lends a sense of supreme ordinariness to the role, offering dignified and real insight into how the family’s rocket into fame affected each of them. The texture of 1960s America is achieved with utter perfection, down to the colour filters in the swimming pool scenes and the bold screen-printed frocks of the wives.
When you watch this film, you may think of Tom Wolfe’s 1979 novel The Right Stuff, and the eponymous film made by Phillip Kaufmann premised on it, four years later. You might think of David Bowie’s poetic reflection on the breathtaking momentousness of space in his song Space Oddity of 1969. And you would not be misguided in either direction. First Man offers palpable and well-constructed insight into this grand and heroic story. But more than that, it is balanced and thoughtful and brings in the slam protest poetry of Gil Scott-Heron: Whitey on the Moon that highlighted popular opinion of the elitist extravagance of moon colonialism.
The film is not without its flaws however, or its provocative jibes. There’s a lot of camera shake in the filming of the piece. While it’s obvious in the outer space foray and necessary as such, there’s camera shake when we’ve all got our feet back on the ground and are doing domesticity, and that’s a little distracting. Buzz Aldrin, one of the original Apollo 11 pilots also reportedly complained about the absence of US flag planting in the film which waters down its nationalistic flavour.
But these are things you get over as the grand narrative is presented to you with an earnest momentum and a muscularity that gives cliché a place and enables you to understand the true message of hope that stories like this offer, unsugared and direct. In short, it’s completely gorgeous and ticks all those boxes of great entertainment like A Star is Born does.

If men with no shirts is absolutely essential to the storyline then Pam Godwin is essentially a genius. I mean, the overall concept of this book is toothsome!
Last woman on Earth seeks cure to virus that wiped humanity with help from three hot guardians. Did I mention she is a nymphomaniac?
The book is a pot of heavy imagery and suspense. We're given the most badass heroine and a great mix of culture, spiritualism, and science. Everything was superb until the villain strolled in and became overshadowed by basically everyone and everything. As disgusting as he was, he also quite bored me, but didn't deter me from reading the next book. I'm curious how it will all play out.

Paul Tully, SPUC's general secretary, gave his reaction yesterday to Dr Walker's statement:
"We must be grateful to Dr Walker for speaking out about the growing anti-life ethos in British medicine. The practice of euthanasia by neglect is insidious and will lead to more and more pressure for active euthanasia - this is the aim of the pro-euthanasia lobby.Comments on this blog? Email them to email@example.com
"Intentional killing by neglect has become more entrenched in England and Wales since the passing of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. This was designed to permit doctors to end the lives of certain seriously ill or disabled people by withholding treatment and care - including even food and fluids in some cases. Without water, people die. Although active euthanasia (such as giving patients a lethal injection) remains rare in our experience, passive euthanasia is a major problem.
"Dr Walker rightly highlights the dangers of the Liverpool Care Pathway. The LCP can mean that tick-box medicine replaces proper care tailored to the person. In some places it is used inappropriately - the LCP implies high doses of morphine may be used which are not necessary for all patients, and which can hasten death. In some places it has become feared as a way of getting rid of those who aren't 'dying quickly enough'.
"The importance of having a sound ethical foundation when caring for patients who may be dying, or nearing death, is increasingly evident. It is not only experts, like doctors, pro-life campaigners and chaplains who see the growing disregard and lack of proper care for those who are nearing death. Relatives of disabled or elderly people are often distressed by the way their loved ones are treated in hospitals and care homes. This can range from not getting necessary help with feeding and toileting to withdrawal of vital care, like simple intravenous fluids."

I used the color scheme from the Striped Two-Color Crocheted Afghan Lion BrandŽ Wool-EaseŽ Pattern #: 70406AD and the stitch from Sherri Bondy's afghan pattern. My friend Javier was working in Mexico on a natural gas drill rig. Despite surviving 10 Minnesota winters, he managed to catch a cold shortly after he started his new job. He called home to say, in a pathetically hoarse voice, that he was cold. I volunteered to make him a blanket. The color scheme is representative of the two of us holding hands--my pale, Scandinavian skin and his brown, work-roughened fingers. | <urn:uuid:d3265433-a179-423c-b8bf-440cc24dfd9a> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/lionbrand/displayCustomerProjects.fcgi?projectKey=75691 | 2016-05-01T02:31:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860113553.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161513-00008-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96823 | 198 |
I came across this wonderful reflection from St Augustine of Hippo about St John's Passion, and wanted to share. I can assure you I will not look at the cross the same way again!
As they were looking on, so we too gaze on his wounds as he hangs. We see his blood as he dies. We see the price offered by the redeemer, touch the scars of his resurrection.
He bows his head, as if to kiss you. His heart is made bare open, as it were, in love to you. His arms are extended that he may embrace you. His whole body is displayed for your redemption.
Ponder how great these things are.
Let all this be rightly weighed in your mind: as he was once fixed to the cross in every part of his body for you, so he may now be fixed in every part of your soul.Ponder how great these things are, indeed.
God Bless you! | <urn:uuid:9d1fee06-f1e0-4a72-8fe2-15b027af246e> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://www.reachparadise.com/2017/04/ | 2020-01-25T04:28:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251669967.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200125041318-20200125070318-00058.warc.gz | en | 0.989852 | 194 |

New Prestige X-Line range unveiled!
THE X-LINE, THE NEW RANGE BY PRESTIGE DEDICATED TO LUXURY AND “L’ART DE VIVRE”
Prestige celebrates its 30-year anniversary in 2019, by launching a new and highly innovative range, which was announced during the Cannes Yachting Festival 2019 press conference.
‘The first boat to be launched in the X-Line range will be the X70. This ground breaking new 70-foot yacht will have its debut at Cannes in 2020,’ says Erik Stromberg, Marketing Director at Prestige. The X70 redefines space, light and luxury with an emphasis on hand selected materials and exceptional fit and finish.
Prestige and Garroni Design have created a revolution in space and movement by moving the side decks to the flybridge enhancing circulation and optimizing room on the main deck. The redistribution and blending together of the interior and exterior living spaces greatly increases the size of the cockpit and ensures entertainment areas flow throughout the vessel. In addition, there is a Beach Club fully integrated into the aft platform providing further entertainment space and proximity to the water.
This flagship yacht of the X-Line range is designed to take you where you want to go. The Volvo IPS technology provides smooth, fuel-efficient cruising with exceptional manoeuvrability. ‘The X70 is the most innovative yacht of her category and her generation, enabling people to experience an entirely new way to live on the water,’ continues Erik Stromberg.
Over the next few years, this state-of-the-art motor yacht will be joined by smaller and larger models to complement the X-Line range. | <urn:uuid:b8e447fe-8b03-4983-8952-9b48d83e38e7> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://lengersyachts.com/new-prestige-x-line-range-unveiled/ | 2019-10-22T14:28:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570987822098.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20191022132135-20191022155635-00002.warc.gz | en | 0.914081 | 360 |

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao rubbished the criticism that Dalit Bandhu scheme had been introduced with an eye on elections and said the scheme would bring out the Scheduled Castes from poverty for ever.
He was speaking after welcoming Padi Kaushik Reddy into the party along with his supporters at the Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday. Mr. Reddy and his supporters joined the TRS after he left the Congress recently.
The Chief Minister said people who were criticising the Dalit Bandhu scheme had similar opinion on the formation of a separate Telangana and also the Rythu Bandhu scheme. But both were realities now. Elections were two years away and this scheme was not aimed at benefiting in the elections, he said.
“A lot of thought went into all the schemes launched in Telangana and people criticising the schemes will not understand the effort that went into designing them,” he said. Telangana was number one in sheep reproduction in the country due to the sheep distribution scheme while the Kaleshwaram project had created a new hope for farmers with record paddy production. The new State was also the number one in per capita power consumption indicating the development here.
KCR assured that Kaushik Reddy would have a bright future in the party and he would not satisfy him with a small post reminding that Kaushik Reddy’s father Sainath Reddy had worked with him during the Telangana agitation. Stating that youngsters would have to carry the Telangana agenda in the future as no one would remain in power forever, he recalled that he was elected MLA because the then TDP chief N.T. Rama Rao gave him an opportunity. | <urn:uuid:2edb73c8-78ef-4672-a3cb-0b76a9a05a57> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://divya-bharat.com/dalit-bandhu-not-for-elections-kcr/ | 2021-08-06T03:13:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046152112.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210806020121-20210806050121-00160.warc.gz | en | 0.99059 | 358 |

This summer, help your kids to develop healthy screen habits with our new secret weapon — a hardware charging station that doubles as a screen time management system called The Den.
Without the schedule and routines of school, it is easy to fall into the trap of unstructured screen time. And before you know it, your kids have wasted away their summer on their devices.
For my family, it’s not enough to just say no. With notifications going off constantly, my son’s attention seems to return to his device all the time. It’s like it was always there calling to him. I needed a way to track his screen usage, but also to keep the devices put up and out of sight while they were not in use.
I was so excited when TechDen asked us to try out The Den. It seemed like exactly what I was looking for! And it was.
We set up The Den in our front hallway, near where we hang coats and backpacks. It fit easily on the table there and blended right into the decor.
The TechDen app allows parents to connect their child’s device to The Den, and set schedules to remotely lock and unlock the doors, depending on when the device is available for use. Kids can push the button at the top of The Den to see if their device is available.
And if a device is removed from The Den outside of a scheduled time, the parent gets a notification on their phone or watch.
The inner charging ports mean that the devices are charged and ready to go when it is time for use — no more asking to use YOUR phone because theirs isn’t charged!
And you can even set goals for your child, so that once they return their device, on time (that’s right without you having to ask them for the tenth time!) to The Den a certain number of times, they receive a prize. The number of returns and prize is based on what works best for your family; for your kid. So it might be less on-time rewards for the younger ones. This helps them develop the habit of taking the device back to The Den when their allotted screen time is over.
With The Den in our arsenal, I set out to create a structured screen time for the summer.
Our Summer Screen Time checklist is the perfect way to make sure that your child balances their screen time with productive activities. For every 30 minutes a child spends completing one of the activities, they earn 15 minutes of screen time so in my example they earn a max screen time of 1 hour each day.
For you this may be more or may be less based on what you’ve decided as the parent. The key in setting and establishing the rules and creating boundaries that encourage healthy habits. And TechDen does just that.With TechDen, you can set available hours for your child to redeem their screen time minutes, and then plug in exactly how much they’ve earned.
It makes it so easy to put the devices away and go enjoy your screen-free summer! You can learn more about how and why TechDen works at techden.com. The Den is is available for purchase on Amazon. | <urn:uuid:e37c0aa3-22c4-409e-aa09-58b32d29e6cc> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://kidsactivitiesblog.com/124356/screen-free-summer/ | 2019-06-17T13:24:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998475.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617123027-20190617145027-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.962368 | 655 |

The Republic of Finland (Finnish: Suomi; Swedish: Finland) is a Nordic country in northeastern Europe, bordered by the Baltic Sea to the southwest, the Gulf of Finland to the southeast and the Gulf of Bothnia to the west. Finland has land frontiers with Sweden, Norway and Russia and a maritime border with Estonia. The Ă…land Islands, off the southwestern coast, are under Finnish sovereignty while enjoying extensive autonomy.
Main article: History of Finland
Conclusive archaeological evidence exists indicating that the area now comprising Finland was settled around 8000 BC, during the Stone Age, as the inland ice of the last ice age receded. The earliest inhabitants are thought to have been hunter-gatherers, living primarily off what the forests and sea could offer. Pottery is known from around 5300 BC. The existance of extensive exchange systems is indicated by the spread of asbestos and soapstone from Eastern Finland, and by founds of flint from south Scandinavia and Russia, chisels from Lake Onega, and spearheads from north Scandinavia. Currently it is considered probable that the speakers of the Fenno-Ugric language arrived in Finland during the Stone Age, possibly even among the first Mesolithic settlers. The arrival of the Battle-Axe Culture (or Cord-Ceramic Culture) in Southern Finland around 3200 BC is considered as the start of agriculture. However, hunting and fishing continued to be important parts of the subsistence economy, especially in the northern and eastern parts of the country.
Finland'Sweden" title ="Sweden">Sweden is traditionally connected with the year 1154 and the alleged introduction of Christianity by Sweden'Finnish_paganism" title ="Finnish paganism">Finnish pagans were already Christened hundreds of years before, according to archaelogical record. Swedish became the dominant language of administration and education; Finnish chiefly a language for the peasantry, held useful mainly for printing religious literature.
In 1808, Finland was conquered by the armies of Russian Emperor Alexander I and thereafter remained an autonomous Grand Duchy in personal union with the Russian Empire until the end of 1917. To counteract Russian replacing Swedish, and also to sever the cultural and emotional ties with Sweden, Finnish was ardently promoted by both the imperial court and the Finnish government and a strong nationalist movement, known as the fennomania. Milestones in this development were the publication of what would become Finland'National_epic" title ="National epic">national epic, the Kalevala, in 1835; and Finnish getting a legally equal status with that of Swedish in 1892.
On December 6, 1917, shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, Finland declared its independence. The independence was recognized by Bolshevist Russia within a month, but the following civil wars in Russia, in Finland and activist expeditions to White Karelia and to Aunus complicated the relations. The Finnish–Russian border was agreed on first with the Treaty of Tartu in 1920.
The social frontier between the ruling and the working class has been broader in Finland than in most comparable countries. Into the 19th century there was a most obvious language barrier; then during the 19th century Finland developed a proud University-educated meritocracy that felt as being the true representation of "the people" since they spoke the people's language and since a great deal of their ancestors really had been poor peasants.
In 1918, the country experienced a brief but bitter Civil War that coloured domestic politics for many years. The Civil War was chiefly fought between the educated class, supported by Germany and the big class of independent small farmers, against propertyless rural and industrial workers who despite universal suffrage in 1906 had found themselves without political influence.
During World War II, Finland fought the Soviet Union twice: in the Winter War of 1939-1940 and again in the Continuation War of 1941-1944 (with support from Germany). This was followed by the Lapland War of 1944-1945, when Finland forced the Germans out of northern Finland.
Treaties signed in 1947 and 1948 with the Soviet Union included obligations and restraints on Finland vis-Ă -vis the Soviet Union as well as further territorial concessions by Finland (compared to the Moscow Peace Treaty of 1940).
After the Second World War, Finland was in the grey zone between western countries and Soviet Union. The "YYA Treaty" (Finno-Soviet Pact of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance) gave Soviet Union some leverage in Finnish domestic politics. Many politicians used their relations with the USSR to solve party controversies, which meant that the Soviet Union got more influence; other people worked single-mindedly to oppose the communists.
When the Soviet Union fell in 1991 Finland was surprised, but they used it immediately to their advantage. Finland was free to follow her own course and joined the European Union in 1995. Even today Russia'Nordic_countries" title ="Nordic countries">Nordic countries.
Main article: Politics of Finland
Finland has a primarily parliamentary system, although the president also has some notable powers. Most executive power lies in the cabinet (Council of State) headed by the prime minister chosen by the parliament. The Council of State is made up of the prime minister and the ministers for the various departments of the central government as well as an ex-officio member, the Chancellor of Justice.
Constitutionally, the 200-member, unicameral parliament, the Eduskunta (Finnish) or Riksdag (Swedish), is the supreme legislative authority in Finland. It may alter the constitution, bring about the resignation of the Council of State, and override presidential vetoes. Its acts are not subject to judicial review. Legislation may be initiated by the Council of State, or one of the Eduskunta members, who are elected for a four-year term on the basis of proportional representation through open list multimember districts.
The judicial system is divided between courts with regular civil and criminal jurisdiction and special courts with responsibility for litigation between the public and the administrative organs of the state. Finnish law is codified and its court system consists of local courts, regional appellate courts, and a Supreme Court.
The parliament has, since equal and common suffrage was introduced in 1906, been dominated by Agrarians, Social Democrats and Communists; although all of the political spectrum is more influenced by anti-Socialist currents than in similar countries having less contact with the Soviet Union.
The constitution of Finland and its place in the judicial system are unusual in that there is no constitutional court and the supreme court doesn'Netherlands" title ="Netherlands">Netherlands and the United Kingdom (which doesn't have a written constitution).
Today, Finland has 6 administrative provinces (lääni, pl. läänit) The province authority is part of the executive branch of the national government; a system that hadn'1634" title ="1634">1634 to the new division to "greater provinces" in 1997. Since then, the six provinces are:

Local government is further organized in 450 municipalities of Finland. Since 1977, no legal or administrative distinction is made between towns, cities and other municipalities. The municipalities cooperate in 20 regions of Finland.
Main article: Geography of Finland
Finland is a country of thousands of lakes and islands; 187,888 lakes and 179,584 islands to be precise. One of these lakes, Saimaa, is the 5th largest in Europe. The Finnish landscape is mostly flat with few hills and its highest point, the Haltitunturi at 1,328 m, is found in the extreme north of Lapland. Beside the many lakes the landscape is dominated by extensive boreal forests (about 68 percent of land area) and little arable land. The greater part of the islands are found in southwest, part of the archipelago of the Ă…land Islands, and along the southern coast in the Gulf of Finland. Finland is one of the few countries in the world that is still growing. Owing to the isostatic uplift that has been taking place since the last ice age, the surface area of the country is growing by about 7 sq. kilometres a year.
The climate in Southern Finland is a northern temperate climate. In Northern Finland, particularly in the Province of Lapland, a subarctic climate dominates, characterised by cold, occasionally severe, winters and relatively warm summers.
A quarter of Finland'Arctic_Circle" title ="Arctic Circle">Arctic Circle, and as a consequence the midnight sun can be experienced — for more and more days, the further up north one comes. At Finland's northernmost point, the sun does not set for 73 days during summer, and does not rise at all for 51 days in winter.
Main article: Economy of Finland
Finland has a highly industrialized, largely free-market economy, with per capita output roughly that of the UK, France, Germany, and Italy. The Finnish standard of living is high. Its key economic sector is manufacturing - principally the wood, metals, engineering, telecommunications (especially Nokia), and electronics industries. Trade is important, with exports equaling almost one-third of GDP. Except for timber and several minerals, Finland depends on imports of raw materials, energy, and some components for manufactured goods.
Because of the climate, agricultural development is limited to maintaining self-sufficiency in basic products. Forestry, an important export earner, provides a secondary occupation for the rural population. Rapidly increasing integration with Western Europe - Finland was one of the 11 countries joining the euro monetary system (EMU) on January 1, 1999 - will dominate the economic picture over the next several years. Growth was anemic in 2002 but slowed down in 2003 because of global depression.
Main article: Demographics of Finland
There are two official languages in Finland: Finnish, spoken by 92% of the population, and Swedish, mother tongue for 5.5% of the population. Ethnic Finns and Finland Swedes are generally considered to comprise a common nation. The Finland-Swedes are concentrated in the coastal areas; and there is a slight cultural difference between the culture of the Ethnic Finns, focused on lakes and woods, and the more outward-oriented coastal culture of the Finland-Swedes. This difference may be considered as an ethnic division, but the difference is slight and not more pronounced than the difference between East Finnish and West Finnish culture.
Most Finns (84%) are members of the Lutheran Church of Finland, with a minority of 1% belonging to the Finnish Orthodox Church (see Eastern Orthodoxy). The remainder consist of relatively small groups of other Protestant denominations, Roman Catholics, Muslims and Jews beside the 14% who are unaffiliated.
After the Winter War (confirmed by the outcome of the Continuation War) 12% of Finland'War_reparations" title ="War reparations">War reparations, unemployment and uncertainty regarding Finland'Sovereignty" title ="Sovereignty">sovereign and independent of the Soviet Union contributed to considerable emigration, abating first in the 1970s. Until then, half-a-million Finns had emigrated, chiefly to Sweden, although half of the emigrants ultimately re-migrated again.
Now, since the late 1990s, Finland receives refugees and immigrants in a rate comparable with the Scandinavian countries, although the accumulated number remains far lower in Finland. A considerable share of the immigrants has come from the former Soviet Union claiming ethnic (Finnic) kinship. However, over twenty languages are now spoken in Finland by immigrant groups of significant size — that is: with at least a thousand speakers.
Finland'20th_century" title ="20th century">20th century urbanization. The biggest and most important cities in Finland are Helsinki, Tampere, Turku and Oulu, with Oulu being the only city in central–northern Finland with more than 100,000 inhabitants.

Main article: Public holidays in Finland
All official holidays in Finland are established by acts of Parliament. The official holidays can be divided into Christian and secular holidays, although some of the Christian holidays have replaced holidays of pagan origin. The main Christian holidays are Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension Day, Pentecost and All Saints Day. The secular holidays are New Year's Day, May Day and Midsummer Day.
In addition to this all Sundays are official holidays but they are not as important as the special holidays. The names of the Sundays follow the liturgical calendar and they can be categorized as Christian holidays. When the standard working week in Finland was reduced to 40 hours by an act of Parliament it also meant that all Saturdays became a sort of de facto public holidays, though not official ones. Easter Sunday and Pentecost are Sundays that form part of a main holiday and they are preceded by a kind of special Saturdays.
Retail stores are prohibited by law from doing business on Sundays, except during the summer months (May through August) and in the pre-Christmas season (November and December). Business locations that have less than 400 square meters of floor space are allowed Sunday business throughout the year, with the exception of official holidays and certain Sundays, such as Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day.

Superstorm Sandy hit the U.S. east coast on Monday October 29, 2012. It was the second-costliest storm in U.S. history, and devastated New York and New Jersey coastal communities. Plenty of families and individuals are still feeling the effects and are looking to others for help. The White House has a plan on the table to get help to those individuals. Yet, there are Republicans in Congress who simply cannot agree on the disaster relief bill that will be up for a vote on Tuesday in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Here are several reasons why Republicans are skeptical the Sandy relief bill.
1. $16 trillion in debt
It is no secret that the Republicans wish to reduce the government’s $16 trillion debt with deep spending cuts. The Sandy emergency funding package totals $51 billion, and goes directly against accomplishing that goal. Regardless of how callous and calculating that may be, the people on the east coast continue to wonder if they will receive help to get their lives back on track several months after Sandy. The Republicans are so focused and adamant about reducing the debt through spending cuts that some of them are failing to see the reality that many families in New York and New Jersey face. To the Republicans, $16 trillion in debt represents a figure that they feel must be reduced at all costs in any way possible. But to Sandy victims, it represents prevention for the assistance that they desperately need.
2. Doubt concerning the actual effect of the relief effort
There is certainly a lack of confidence in the government’s ability to help its citizens in times of crisis. The mere fact that I’m writing an article about the Republican divide is a clear sign that many of them believe our government’s money should (or should not be) spent elsewhere. Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) made the following remark about the emergency funding bill in this article: “This bill is about $50 billion. That averages out to be about $450 from every household in the country.”
It is evident that many Republicans believe that if this going to be the case, the money collected from each and every household should be spent on something else or not be collected at all. The doubt stemming from the situation is causing many Republicans in Congress to believe that this is not the way to handle the situation.
3. The compulsion to be a vigorous opposition
Republicans, just like any of us would, have a bitter taste in their mouths after losing. In the 2012 election, Democratic President Obama was pitted against Republican outsider Governor Mitt Romney. Obama has never failed to obtain a presidential nomination when he is in the race, and Romney had finally gotten the nomination after trying twice previously. Obama had four years to prove to the country that he deserved four more to continue his work, and Romney tried his best to display that he was a better alternative. The American people agreed with Obama, and the Republicans were left reeling.
Shortly after Obama knew he would be given another four years, he aggressively went after getting his fiscal cliff deal done. The Republicans aggressively pushed back and were not happy with the way the situation looked for them. They knew that if Romney had won, their reality would look rather differently.
Now with the Sandy bill, it appears that many Republicans are confused about whether they should stick to their guns or agree with how Obama wishes to handle the relief funding. Some appear to believe that the best interests of those affected by the storm should come first and others feel that they should not be allowing Obama to “get his way” on everything so shortly after his election victory. | <urn:uuid:08fbabd7-3ea6-4798-a354-fa6f08d2f123> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | https://mic.com/articles/23293/sandy-relief-bill-3-reasons-gop-could-vote-it-down | 2017-08-22T18:52:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886112539.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170822181825-20170822201825-00653.warc.gz | en | 0.976215 | 739 |

A child with significant medical needs came into care at 8 years old. She was just barely walking and had a feeding tube. Her mother was deceased and her father was not able to care for her due to his own significant mental health history so she was placed in a medical foster home. A GAL volunteer was appointed to Elsie in 2010 and he followed this little girl’s journey closely. He wanted her to have a forever home. He contacted her case manager to see what was being done to find Elsie a forever home. He discovered that a family from Texas had seen this little girl on a recruitment website and had expressed interest in having Elsie join their family. Due to the fact that lived inTexas, the agency dismissed this family for consideration. The GAL volunteer, with the assistance of the GAL program, followed up with the agency including the management at the agency and with the family. The GAL pushed for this family to be considered and at least given the opportunity to be interviewed. After much effort, the GAL was successful at getting this family interviewed and the match process proceeded. Elsie was moved to Texas last summer. She is now thriving-her feeding tube has been removed, her medications have been reduced and she has special shoes to improve her walking. She now has a large family, including many siblings and extended family and the adoption will be in the fall. If not for the GAL, this little girl would have likely aged out of foster care and faced placement in a state institution for the rest of her life. Now she has a forever family and the care she needs! | <urn:uuid:42691db9-5af9-47e0-a182-b26fbf1bbc80> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://guardianadlitem6.org/news/article/One-Voice-One-Child-Elsie.html | 2017-10-24T09:27:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187828356.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20171024090757-20171024110757-00027.warc.gz | en | 0.993804 | 332 |
Ikon has played an active role at Internet Day FVG (the event organised to celebrate 30 years of the Internet in Italy), presenting its Virtours platform to a group of students from Trieste's high schools.
The event, organised together with the ITS A. Volta Foundation and Insiel Mercato S.p.A, was held last April 29th at LAB3 in the AREA Science Park, and gave the young students the chance to "get hands on" with the innumerable VR opportunities.
The partnership with Ikon continues with updated graphics and functions to the Barcolana website. Among the "Smart" initiatives of the 47th Barcolana, one finds a new online participant registration system and the new App for iOS and Android, downloadable from the respective stores from September.
The new version of the site has undergone considerable graphic restyling, keeping the most appreciated in look & feel and in functionality from last year's version.
The website, created by Ikon and Nudesign for Illy, offers users a virtual reality tour of the Expo Milano 2015 pavilion dedicated to coffee. Users can explore the history of coffee and how it's produced, from the bean's harvest to its roasting and grinding. Videos and photo galleries adorn the virtual tour's various informative sections, while mini-games test users knowledge of the world of coffee. | <urn:uuid:62f1a863-f47d-4dd4-9663-21396dca6f91> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.ikon.it/News | 2019-09-21T06:49:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514574286.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190921063658-20190921085658-00385.warc.gz | en | 0.936546 | 281 |
‘Not conversion therapy’: Pulse nightclub survivors host rally for people who’ve left LGBT for Jesus
ORLANDO, Florida, September 16, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Three years after the Pulse Nightclub massacre where 49 homosexual men died, ex-homosexuals and ex-transgenders came to Orlando from around the country to publicly proclaim the freedom they’ve found through Jesus Christ.
At the outset of the event — held at Lake Eloa Park which is about a 5-minutes drive from the Pulse Nightclub — shooting survivor Luis Ruiz set the record straight about something secular media and LGBT activists consistently get wrong: Conversion.
“This is not conversion therapy,” proclaimed Ruiz to the cheers of the crowd.
“This is not electrotherapy. This is not shock therapy,” he continued.
“This is all the Holy Spirit,” and about “a man who died on a Cross,” said Ruiz.
“This is not a gay to straight thing: This is a lost to saved thing,” he added.
“Their definition of conversion therapy is not our definition of conversion,” Ruiz told LifeSiteNews.
“Change is possible,” said Angel Colon, another Pulse Nightclub survivor. Colon sustained six bullet wounds that night and had to learn how to walk again.
“Freedom in Christ is true, and it’s real, and it can happen,” declared Colon. “If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.”
“Jesus wants your heart,” he explained to LifeSiteNews. “He doesn’t just want your (sexual) identity. He wants everything of you.”
The presence of these men and women who formerly lived homosexual or transgender lifestyles is an inconvenient truth for those who claim that same-sex attraction and transgenderism are immutable, irresistible characteristics.
The June 12, 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting was carried out by Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old security guard who pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State before killing 49 people and wounding 53 others in the worst act of terrorism on U.S. soil since 9/11. While the tragedy has been used to promote a greater acceptance of homosexuality, evidence shows that the Mateen was likely himself a homosexual who visited the Pulse club and other gay bars dozens of times over years, used a homosexual dating app, and asked a male classmate out on a date.
For over four hours on a brutally hot, sunny Florida afternoon, one after another took the stage to declare freedom from their former ‘identity’ as ‘gay’ or ‘trans. ’ And this happened through a real, personal experience purposefully turning away from the empty promises of the world and to the person of Jesus Christ.
Former lesbian activist Charlene Cothran said she is proud to “stand with her brothers and sisters from across the country and show the entire world that we are free from homosexuality” and other LGBT-based lifestyles.
“In a world and in a culture where people believe that can’t happen, we are the evidence,” said Cothran, “and that’s what I represent.”
A pivotal moment occurred in Cothran’s life in 2004 in Chicago, at an event attended by “thousands upon thousands” of fellow African American lesbians and homosexuals whom she had previously urged to “go and tell your parents that you are gay or lesbian. Be proud of it!”
“We taught people ‘gay theology’ through the pages of my publication,” said Cothran.
According to Cothran, “The Lord said, ‘Look around you. This is leading people to destruction. Look at the generation who’s coming behind you,’ and conviction fell upon me like never before on that day.”
Later, “I gave the Lord a complete and total ‘Yes,’” declared Cothran.
“There are so many people that are saying … ‘my convictions are not to pursue a gay life,’ said Ken Williams, who traveled from California to attend the Freedom March. “There are thousands of people like that who are looking for help.”
Williams is a former homosexual, now a married father of four and is co-founder, along with Elizabeth Woning, of Equipped to Love, a ministry through which they draw upon their combined experiences of walking away from homosexuality to help others.
“Our stories are that God met us and led us out of that life, into great fulfillment,” Williams told LifeSiteNews. “So I stopped being suicidal, after I found encouragement to leave that life.”
“And so that’s all we’re doing. The people that are coming and asking ‘Is there any encouragement for me to leave [homosexuality]?’ We’re saying, ‘Absolutely, that happened for us,’” he added.
Woning sees the attempt to discredit and outlaw all resources aimed at helping those with unwanted same-sex attraction as an assault on Christianity.
“Everybody should have the right to pursue the kind of counseling they want,” Woning told LifeSitenews. “They should have the right to shape their own sexuality.”
“The LGBT community has the right to pursue whatever they want,” said Woning, “we should also be able to do that.”
Gabriel Pagan, who left homosexuality seven years ago, said those who dismiss the testimonies of people who have walked away from LGBT lifestyles just don’t understand that what he and others at the Freedom March are talking about is a “work of Jesus.”
I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life,” Pagan told LifeSiteNews.
“No conversion therapy,” he added.
Pagan, who recently became engaged to his girlfriend, said he is “over the moon excited” about his upcoming wedding.
Reflecting upon the night he was trampled in the melee at the Pulse Nightclub, Luis Ruiz said it was a “tragic event but the Lord used it for good.”
“Now I am sharing the love of Jesus,” explained Ruiz, who has often said he could have easily been the ‘fiftieth victim’ killed by the shooter.
“People are being radically changed,” he said. “Not just a little change. They want Jesus.”
While most of the Freedom March organizers and participants are not Catholic, perhaps it’s no coincidence that this event was held on the Feast of the Exultation of the Holy Cross, when Catholics celebrate the triumph of the Cross of Christ. | <urn:uuid:0e097278-8c81-49f2-bef8-748d16cf8246> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/not-conversion-therapy-pulse-nightclub-survivors-host-rally-for-people-whove-left-lgbt-for-jesus?fbclid=IwAR16XCAZ0aXIjmLeXwoDLyH0NJG0AFbU1pyi98xUlQQE_VZAiN4ZWqfG5qw | 2020-10-28T23:56:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107902038.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20201028221148-20201029011148-00602.warc.gz | en | 0.966542 | 1,465 |
If there is a list of criteria for being an Australian music icon, Iva Davies, linchpin of the band Icehouse, ticks all the boxes. Numerous multi platinum albums, responsible for writing some of Australia’s best loved and most played songs, international success, ARIA Hall of Fame alumni – check, check, check, check. Rose to fame during the halcyon days of live music in Australia – most definitely! Along with contemporaries such as AC/DC, The Angels, Cold Chisel and countless other bands, Icehouse honed their sound working the celebrated and often infamous Sydney and Melbourne live music circuits of the late 70’s/early 80’s.
In 2017, Icehouse will mark 40 years since the band played its first live gig. To celebrate they’re hitting the road later this year for a series of dates that will take them around Australia. I was lucky enough to be able to talk with Iva Davies this week about the tour and his memories of the early days.
Iva began his live music career as a classical musician, studying the oboe while still a student at Sydney’s Epping High. During his late teens he was playing with professional orchestras. By age 22, Iva’s career had taken a decidedly different turn. In 1977, the fledgling band Flowers, the band that would eventually change its name to Icehouse, hit the stage at the Warriewood Surf Life Saving Club for the very first time.
“Being on stage wasn’t foreign to me,” Iva told me, “What was foreign to me was that I’d never been into a pub before and that was kind of interesting. That whole world of bands and 20 something year olds in pubs, that whole dynamic was a complete mystery to me. We specialised in the northern beaches of Sydney and there were some particularly heavy pubs. I thought, this has got the potential to go horribly wrong.”
Things didn’t go wrong, in fact they went very, very right. The band scored a deal with Regular Records and released their debut album in 1980, featuring the singles “Can’t Help Myself” and “We Can Get Together”. I asked Iva how much he thought slogging it out in beer barns around the country contributed to the album’s massive success.
“We were being managed by three very good and experienced managers,” he explained, “one managed The Angels, one managed Cold Chisel and the other one was looking for another band and we became that band….kind of the apprentices of a very powerful stable. The manager’s philosophy was just keep playing and if you keep playing you’ll get an audience and if you get an audience they’ll go and buy your first record and that’s exactly what had happened. By the time that first album came out we had a massive live following and they all went out and bought that first record which was a big contributor to it being the largest selling Australian debut album at that point.”
There’s a tendency in the current climate of continual live venue closures in both Sydney and Melbourne to look back on the live music scene of 40 years ago with nostalgia. Iva is somewhat of a realist about it but it’s evident that he enjoyed his time on the circuit.
“There were a lot of places that were fairly sketchy,” he told me, “I remember we enjoyed playing in Melbourne because it was kind of a really concentrated little scene and it was quite different to Sydney. Sydney was kind of a vast suburban sprawl. In Melbourne all the musicians knew each other even though they were in rival bands. It was quite a punk circuit and right in the middle of all of that was a venue called the Crystal Ballroom in St Kilda which was a famous place that we played on a number of occasions.”
The thriving Melbourne scene was home to bands like The Birthday Party, Eric Gradman’s Man and Machine, Nick Cave’s first band, The Models and Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons. Iva remembers a young Men At Work playing support to Icehouse.
The demands of touring can be intensive but along the way, Icehouse also managed to release hugely successful albums such as “Primitive Man” and “Man of Colours”. I asked Iva how much playing live contributed to the song writing process for him.
“I’ve always been emphatically of two completely distinct worlds. Whether writing or performing, the two have never ever crossed paths,” he said, “except for one notable exception.”
The band had just arrived in London, Iva explained, for their first international tour but the record company in Australia was looking for an interim single between albums to keep fans satisfied back home.
“I had to write a song on the road and it was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. I was still finishing the lyrics in the black cab on the way to the recording studio to record it. Luckily the song was a success. It was called “Love In Motion” and it was the only song that I’ve written on the road.”
“I remember it was only because there was a brand new piece of technology that had been released just prior to that whole exercise of writing that song in London, a four track cassette player believe it or not, called a Portastudio. This enabled me to make a four-track recording and that’s exactly how I wrote that song. If it hadn’t been for that sort of technology that was portable enough to cart round it never would have happened.”
Icehouse’s music has always had a complex, multi level sound from the Flowers songs to songs like “Great Southern Land” and Iva Davies seems like a musician who embraces technology. He had this to say about the role it plays in his music.
“That’s how I build songs,” he told me, “It wasn’t until really four albums in that I got a proper 24 track tape recording system and that was where I guess I really took off in terms of the whole writing process. It was a very busy and productive period that produced our 4th album, “Measure for Measure”, a ballet for the Sydney Dance Company called “Boxes” and then ultimately the album, “Man of Colours”. I don’t sit down with a guitar, I tend to just build things one layer at a time and the perfect tool for that is a multi track tape recorder.”
As Icehouse’s career exploded, so too did their live performances and they were renowned for their polished and visually impressive shows. I asked Iva if the logistics of their live shows had become simpler over the years as production technology evolved.
“Everything is by far and away easier than it was,” he said, “People ask what the shows will be like, and I’ve been telling them the shows that we are doing now are 3, 4, 5 times bigger and more impressive than any of the shows that we did at the height of our career in the late eighties and one very simple reason for that is that technology has changed so much. We can carry around, for example, an entire back wall of LED to project onto, to animate, to use graphics on. That’s one example only of the sort of technology that’s now almost routine and would have been beyond our wildest imaginations in 1988.”
The band took a lengthy hiatus from touring during the late 90’s and early 2000’s and things had changed a lot by the time they decided to head back out on the road. Iva, together with the band’s tour manager who has been with them since 1986, put together a team of the best lighting and sound technicians in the business.
“The technology that goes on behind the scenes is incredibly sophisticated. They are certainly not your text book definition of roadies,” Iva said.
Planning for the 40 Years Live Tour began well over a year out from the dates just so they could make sure they could book the very best crew. Then there’s the planning for the technical rig, lighting designs, projection footage and not to mention the set list. Iva’s songs have become part of the fabric of Australian culture. Songs like “Crazy”, “Hey Little Girl” and “Great Southern Land”.still receive consistent airplay. I asked Iva how it felt when he performs them and the audience is singing them back to him?
“It’s constantly amazing from my point of view,” he said, “and what is even more amazing these days is that they seem to have travelled down decades as well. We’re getting a strange phenomenon in that we’re getting loads of 20 something’s who are now singing all the lyrics. It’s quite disarming in a way because I’m never unaware of the fact that most of these people weren’t born when those songs were written. That fact that they’ve travelled in that way is quite astounding.”
And how does Iva feel about being back on the road again?
“It’s very, very exciting, I think one of the things that’s kind of kept us going is the fact that we have always been split between a number of cities. Half the band live in Melbourne and half the band live in Sydney and so we don’t get to socialize really. It means that the only time we actually get together is when we tour. They are an incredibly entertaining and funny group of guys so its always a novelty to get together and go right lets party, lets go!”
When I asked Iva what’s next for him, he tells me he hasn’t really thought that far ahead. Right now he’s firmly focused on the demands of the 40 Years Live tour that will see him on the road until well into 2017. Two things seem pretty evident – Icehouse fans will not be disappointed with this tour and Iva Davies will be loving every minute of it.
Icehouse are performing at Bondi Beachfest on Saturday November 12th, alongside Josh Pyke, Ash Grunwald, and more. In January 2017, they will be playing two dates at Sydney's Enmore Theatre.

Le Creuset: Is it worth it?
So over in the food section, there's a discussion of the six most important tools in your kitchen. Again and again, "Le Creuset Dutch oven" comes up.

MANY of the champions in the major European leagues for the 2017-18 campaign were decided months ago.
But, there is one league which is not lacking for excitement. With just ten matches remaining, there are four teams still in the hunt for the Turkish Super Lig title.
Galatasaray are currently ahead of Istanbul Basaksehir on goal difference, with both on 50 points.
With 47 on the board, last season's champions Besiktas are in third, with Fenerbahce three further back in fourth place.
It means for the 33rd time in the past 34 editions, the title will be staying in Istanbul — but which of the four bitter rivals will take the glory?
They are all taking points off each other this season, which makes it so difficult to predict who will finish the campaign on top.
Galatasaray may be first, but they were hammered 5-1 by Basaksehir in November as well as 3-0 by Besiktas in December.
Earlier in the campaign, they had drawn 0-0 at home to Fenerbahce, despite seeing Younes Belhanda sent off.
However, in their last match, they hammered bottom-club Karabukspor 7-0 away from home.
most read in football
The leaders have former Swansea man Bafetimbi Gomis in attack.
Basaksehir, who have never won the league, have fared better in the bigger matches.
With the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Gael Clich, Gary Medel, Eljero Elia and — form January — Arda Turan in their ranks, they have been the season's big surprise package.
As well as the hammering of Gala, they beat Fenerbahce 3-2 away from home in September with a ladst-gasp winner.
Despite opening the scoring away at Besiktas on 89 minutes, there was still time for a stoppage time equaliser from the hosts.
Besiktas, who have the likes of Pepe, Ricardo Quaresma, Ryan Babel, Alvaro Negredo, Jeremain Lens, Mauricio Isla and Vagner Love, beat Fenerbahce 3-1 on Februray 25.
Earlier in the season, the hosts won a tumultuous affair 2-1, featuring FIVE red cards.
Fenerbahce, meanwhile, have Tottenham flop Roberto Soldado and former Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel.
Next weekend could be pivotal as Fenerbahce host Galatasaray on Saturday and Basaksehir welcome Besiktas on Sunday. | <urn:uuid:5a651942-89bd-45b8-a7f0-564e15986359> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/5765643/turkish-super-lig-title-race-premier-league-galatasaray-besiktas/ | 2018-12-16T08:07:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376827596.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20181216073608-20181216095608-00347.warc.gz | en | 0.957264 | 557 |

Has Mosin Nagant M91/30 for $179.99
They keep jackin the prices up on these. Even with the rediculous shipping from AIM Surplus you still end up paying quite a bit less for one. The ones that I have looked at in the recent past had force matched serial numbers, were counter bored, and a little beat up. I know, it's a Mosin Nagant, they are kind of a rough rifle to begin with. However, why pay this price for a bottom rung Mosin when you can get a lot nicer one for cheaper?
- Not crappin on your thread just expressing my disappointment about their price. Thank you for sharing though
I too thought that, while it is great that it is in stock, the price seems a bit high, even by Big-5 standards.
$179.99 for a rifle that is worth $75! Where does the line start!
Am I in the correct line for the $179.99 rifle or is this the line for the $65 bricks of 22lr????
I haven't been in this long enough to know what some of these rifles should or use to sell for but I see a trend following like some of the AKs that I've been told sold for $100-$200 all day long at Big5 back in the day.
The Mosin trend has pretty well maxed out. When they were $50, it was time to buy. At $190 after BGC, you might make $10 if you sit on it 20 years. Unfortunately, you have to compare this more to the k98 Mauser's that Big 5 used to sell for $49. They maxed out around $2-250. An AK that sold for $1-200 would have sold 25 or more years ago and has far more value than a 100 year old bolt gun. Apples and oranges.

The City’s Adopt-a-Trail Program is an all-volunteer program that provides citizens with an opportunity to become involved in conserving and maintaining our trails. “Adopters” can participate as an individual, a family, club or an office group. All it takes is a willingness to get out and work on your trail and have fun improving and maintaining this important community amenity.
The Trails and Open Space Committee will provide orientation and training, including review of some general rules for volunteers, specifications for the trail adopted and safety training if needed. The Committee can also provide field supervision for your group. This includes field visits while your work is in progress as well as additional maintenance and other post work inspection. By adopting a trail, you or your organization would provide maintenance on all or a section of one of our trails quarterly by:
- Picking up debris and trash along the trail
- Clearing the trail of rocks, sticks and debris
- Cutting brush and vegetation away from the trail
- Informing the Committee of any hazards | <urn:uuid:63fb8b46-e87f-4108-a26f-f3831fa710e8> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://yucaipa.org/recreation/trails/adopt-a-trail/ | 2019-02-22T07:14:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247513661.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190222054002-20190222080002-00193.warc.gz | en | 0.945606 | 218 |
Former Tigers catcher Alex Avila will retire at the end of the 2021 MLB season, according to a report from Maria Torres of The Athletic. Avila, 34, is currently playing out his final season in a part-time role with the Washington Nationals.
The bulk of Avila’s 13-year career came with the Tigers. He spent eight seasons in Detroit, playing in 760 games. In 2,709 plate appearances, he hit .245/.350/.404 with 77 home runs and 314 RBI.
Avila made his MLB debut with the Tigers in 2009 and quickly established himself as a fan favorite (and a BYB meme) by posting a .965 OPS over the final two months of the season. He backed that up with an All-Star appearance in 2011, hitting .295/.389/.506 with 19 home runs and 82 RBI as the Tigers won 95 games and their first division title since 1987.
However, as we have seen all too often with catchers, injuries and the wear-and-tear of the position took their toll. Avila endured several stints on the injured list throughout his career and struggled with concussions during his Tigers tenure. His game tailed off somewhat at the plate, but he continued to post high walk rates and hit for a modest amount of power throughout his career. He was a solid defender behind the plate as well, though dreams of him playing third base in interleague play were short-lived.
A cursory glance at Avila’s statistics won’t show where he was arguably most valuable with the Tigers: as a main part of their battery with some of the best pitching staffs of recent memory. The 2013 Tigers set a then-record for the highest strikeout rate in MLB history under his watch (a mark that has since been broken by 70-odd teams). He was behind the plate for Justin Verlander’s second no-hitter, and 33 of Verlander’s 34 starts during his 2011 MVP run. And when Max Scherzer recorded his 3,000th strikeout earlier this season, Avila popped up as the backstop who had caught more of them than anyone else.
When you record 3,000 Ks, quite a few people are going to be on the other side. pic.twitter.com/b5MNCluc7W— MLB Vault (@MLBVault) September 13, 2021
While Avila didn’t put up the same gaudy stat lines that other catchers in Tigers history have managed, he should be remembered as the latest in a long line of strong Detroit backstops.
And who knows? With Avila saying he does not intend to be out of the game long, we may see him back with the Tigers again in some capacity. | <urn:uuid:8a9a51e9-24b6-4429-b568-1ff8d6b85e22> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.blessyouboys.com/2021/9/19/22682378/detroit-tigers-news-alex-avila-retirement-2021-washington-nationals | 2023-09-23T15:06:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506481.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923130827-20230923160827-00626.warc.gz | en | 0.987089 | 584 |

UKCC: What does it mean to you as a coach?
By Julie Mackintosh: sports coach UK Coach Education Advisor
Why did UKCC come about?
The UKCC came about after the Coaching Taskforce in 2002 recommended implementing a National Coaching Certificate, which would be set against national standards.
At the time there were no standard levels across coaching qualifications, so a Level 2 in one sport could be a level 3 in another. A very confused landscape.
The pilot endorsements started in 2006, with sports coach UK working alongside Skills Active. The process is now solely undertaken by sports coach UK
What is the UKCC?
UKCC is an endorsement of a governing body of sport, coach education qualification programme. The endorsement is gained by meeting a set of criteria that are built on best practice from the sport’s industry.
There are Three level descriptors
- assist more qualified coaches, delivering aspects of coaching sessions, normally under direct supervision
- prepare, for deliver and review coaching session(s)
- plan, implement, analyse and revise annual coaching programmes
What the UKCC isn’t
- a qualification in its own right
- a one-off endorsement of a Governing Bodies qualification
How many sports are endorsed?
- 32 Governing Bodies engaged at Levels 1 to 4
- 138 separate qualifications
How do I know my sport’s qualification is UKCC endorsed?
Look out for the logo, only qualifications with the logo have been endorsed
What do we mean by endorsement?
Each qualification is assessed against learning outcomes - developed by breaking down the role of the coach - known as common units. These units are matched to the National Occupational Standards related to coaching in sport.
The UKCC endorsement process looks at the journey of the learning coach and covers four main areas:
The governing body has to have a robust internal verification process and work with an Awarding Organisation who quality assures using an external verifier. Each qualification has to have a technical programme reflecting the needs of the athlete or player being coached and is developed by the governing body for that sport. There must also be a:
- registration period
- appeal procedures and
...which are clearly explained to the learner coach at the start of the course.
The qualification must sit on a qualification framework. In England, Wales and NI this is can be the QCF in Scotland is the SCQF.
The learning programme
The learning programme includes face-to-face learning and tasks undertaken away from the course, both practical and theory driven. The coaches and participants’ needs are central to the learning programme. The learner coach must have opportunities to practice in a supportive environment, with time given for assessment and meaningful feedback. The learner coach can also expect small group activities, including discussion and written tasks.
Resources can take a number of formats, be it books, DVD, CD,websites or e-learning. The course resources should:
- re-enforce learning,
- build on learning from the face to face delivery or,
- introduce new learning not covered elsewhere on the course
Resources should be available to all who access the course, but also give further opportunities for learning such as links to websites, further reading or workshops available.
- The course delivery workforce
The qualification-delivery workforce is made up of Tutors, Assessors and Internal Verifiers. They all undergo training that is matched to National standards. The governing body must have criteria for recruiting the workforce and a method of re-accrediting them. The entire workforce has to agree to ensure they are up to date with current coaching practice and manage their development for the role.
A non-endorsed qualification may have some of these elements within a coaching award, but sports whose qualification has been UKCC endorsement guarantees it.
How long is a qualification be endorsed for?
A qualification is generally endorsed for 2 years. One of the conditions of endorsement is to continually develop the coach-education programme. The Coaching Standards Group*will ask for evidence at the re-endorsement stage.
How long does the course last and how much does it cost?
The governing body sets the duration and cost of a course, plus the technical content.

*The Coaching Standard Group is a subcommittee of sports coach UK and its main function is to oversee UKCC endorsement process and to maintain standards.
**The ITR is made up of panel of 3 coach education experts. | <urn:uuid:1b0d03a9-ba3a-4b14-8d7a-05d16d1e5290> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://www.ukcoaching.org/blog/ukcc-what-does-it-mean-you-coach | 2018-03-24T08:41:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257649961.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180324073738-20180324093738-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.943588 | 1,039 |

Concerns over profits never stopped the Kendrick brothers because they did not start out to make money. A Baptist minister , Kendrick was on the staff of Sherwood Baptist Church when his interest in moviemaking lined up with his desire to “present stories that would draw people to a relationship with the Lord and a greater depth of faith with God.”
His pitch to create feature films using church resources was accepted and Sherwood Pictures was born. Using volunteers from the church as cast and crew and armed with what Kendrick admits was only a very basic concept of filmmaking, they produced 2003’s Flywheel starring…Alex Kendrick. It told the story of a corrupt used car salesman who becomes honest after a religious conversion.
His following films vary but follow a similar formula. They each embrace a single theme: Surrender to God in Facing the Giants, marriage in Fireproof, and fatherhood in Courageous, coupled with a strong proselytizing message. Kendrick explains:
How do they get to these stories? The theme comes first, the plot is written around the theme, and characters follow.
Stories speak to people. Not that we’re trying to preach to them, but when you present a principle or a truth in story form, in a way that people can identify with, it speaks to them….And so not to take anything away from the preaching of the word, but yes, theres a power in stories that we want to utilize and reach this culture.
We go through the better part of a year, saying, ‘Lord what do you want us to focus on, what do you want the plot be?’ It’s usually near the end of that year. It could be eight months, ten months, or a full year, it’s almost like He downloads something to us.…it’s almost like the Lord wants us to seek Him, seek Him, seek Him, seek Him, seek Him, and then He says, ‘Ok, here’s the direction.’ And when the direction comes, it’s very clear.
This method must have something right because Sherwood Pictures’ films are arguably the most successful religious submarket films ever, after the Passion of the Christ. Facing the Giants, Fireproof, and Courageous have earned a combined $78 million in box office receipts and millions more on the home market, hefty profit for films whose creation budgets are $2.6 million… Yes, $2.6 million for all three films. That’s the kind of return on investment most Hollywood executives – indeed, most business executives in general – only dream about. | <urn:uuid:81e8c26d-b5c3-4fd1-ba15-de5498b05cd7> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://www.patheos.com/blogs/tinseltalk/2013/10/inside-godlywood-a-day-on-the-set-of-a-christian-movie/2/ | 2018-07-21T13:55:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676592579.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20180721125703-20180721145703-00413.warc.gz | en | 0.959039 | 549 |
Since the Internet has such an extensive reach, many businesses recognize it as a great opportunity for their marketing efforts. Any business that has a product or service to sell can launch a website and expand its market. However, simply launching a website is not enough to conquer new markets. There’s more to be done here and a website needs to be supported with internet marketing efforts.
Today, there are many companies that offer internet marketing solutions for their clients. Any business that wants to increase its online presence can find a company that provides link building services. The main goal these services offer is higher rankings in various search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. Higher rankings are achieved with proper SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and link building.
Link building services can drive more traffic to the website, therefore bringing in more visitors who can be converted into clients and customers. And considering that link building services will drive targeted traffic to the clients website, we can say that link building is a very powerful strategy that any business should use.
What Link Building Services Actually Do?
Building links to clients website is what will position that website as the top result of search engines, this being the main focus of every link building service. After analyzing the clients website, a plan is made and link building can begin. Links can be created in the form of press releases, low level links (profiles, quality directories, etc) article submissions and guest posts on various websites that are niche related to the clients website. Social media plays a big role in today’s SEO, so a serious link building service will create various social signals for a clients website. Specific keywords are chosen and used in link building process, and links are created for various pages of clients website.
The keywords used in link building process are specific for every website. Every business wants to sell a product or a service, so it’s natural that they want to be on top, when it comes to search engine, for the name of the product or service they are selling. Link building services will focus on these keywords and build links to selected web pages in order to raise their search engine ranking position. These are often called landing pages and a business can use these to convert visitors into customers.
Choosing A LinkBuilding Service
Many businesses are looking to work with a link building service to increase their online exposure. These can be the brick and mortar businesses, home based businesses or any other type of business actually. There is one question that many individuals who want to work with link building services ask : How to choose a reliable service? Some would say that the results is all that matters. However, increased traffic to a website should not be the only measure of the quality and reliability of a service. There are many ways to get website traffic and some of them have a short lifespan.
There are several things that are important when it comes to reliable, quality link building. You can find out a lot about a certain link building service by taking a closer look at the way they actually build links for clients websites.
Things That Need To Be Avoided
The first thing any serious business should stay away from is automatically created links. These links are made with the use of software – there are many programs who can scrape content from other websites and post it to create links. This is a tactic that can yield results, this much is true, but they will soon be gone and the clients website will be penalized, never to have any traffic from a search engine again. Automatically created links can be made in the form of articles, blog posts, comments and forum posts.
It is also a good idea to avoid link building services which use link networks in order to position their clients site high in search engine results. Link networks are made up of many websites which post articles for one purpose only – to create a link. These websites are of poor quality, do not have any real value and are in constant danger of being penalized by the search engines. A website can achieve good rankings by using these link networks, but once the link network is devalued and loses its power, the clients website rankings will be lost. Again, it’s a short term strategy that should be avoided.
In addition to these two link building strategies, there is one other practice that any serious link building service will not offer – using the same content over and over again. You don’t want to work with a company that uses one article to create 5, 15 or 50 links to your website. These articles are considered duplicate content, which is frowned upon by search engines. They won’t have much value, if any at all, and the same goes with the links that are within these articles.
What Do Reliable Link Building Services Offer?
Link building service that posts unique, engaging content for every link it creates is the service you want to work with. They will find quality websites to post your posts and articles on, whether these are guest posts or simple article submissions. Any comments that are posted to other websites in order to build links are created manually and forum posts will be created with sense and care. A reliable and quality link building service has its own portfolio, serving their clients with high quality links. These are the types of links any serious business should desire for its website. High quality, long term links that will stay there to promote the website and push it to the top of search engine rankings.

And maybe chuck a heap of rocks in after it, break it up a bit and make sure it really does sink, taking your optimism and positivity and belief that you were in fact in control of your own life and sending it thudding to the bottom. Never to be revisited. (Maybe not never but I’m prone to overdramatisation, and I’m pretty gutted right now.)

Mike and Joan Lang originally purchased Dreamland Palace in 1990. Having carefully planned the painstaking restoration of the property, they have been able to artfully create a thriving restaurant with authentic German flair. Constantly evolving over time with new menu additions, added features for the patrons, and extensive selections in authentic German Cuisine, imported beers and wine selection, it is their goal to offer traditional German hospitality and atmosphere while maintaining the building and area’s historical relevance.
Serving lunch and dinner, Dreamland Palace showcases a large selection of American Food cooked to perfection, but we pride ourselves on our German Specialties. Passed down through Joan’s family, these traditional German dishes will please the most particular palette! We invite you to join us for a private meal or bring a group to enjoy the dishes and ambiance!
Nestled in the quaint Village of Foster Pond, Dreamland Palace was originally constructed in 1875 and initially served the small community as a tavern, general store, dance hall, and stage coach stop. In the 1800’s, Foster Pond was conveniently located an equal six miles between Waterloo Illinois and the Mississippi River. At that point in the town’s history, it acted as the resting point between Waterloo Illinois and the Mississippi River. Travelers at that time relied heavily on wagons and horses, and the versatile stopping point offered water for the horses, a place to restock supplies, and friendly folks ready to pour road weary travelers a cool drink. The Old Stone Hotel across the road offered cozy accommodations for those wanting an evening’s respite, as well as a blacksmith at the ready to repair wagon wheels, tools, saddles, or re-shoeing horses.
Named for Mr. Foster, the owner of the Old Stone Hotel, Foster Pond became familiar to area folks through a common question. Before traveling, the locals would always ask one another “Is Foster’s Pond flooded?” due to the flooding that occurred in front of the hotel after heavy rains. If the pond made the road impassable, travelers elected to take the “backwoods way.”
During the prohibition era in the early 1920’s, the owners decided a “dance hall” would serve it’s patrons well. The large hall was erected on the north side of the building, where they hosted weekly and sometimes even nightly dances. Elder members of the Monroe County community can still recall some amazing times had in the hall!
As the years past, the Old Stone Hotel was converted into a private residence and the town post office closed as Waterloo and Valmeyer grew. These changes decreased the traffic flow through the village, but Dreamland Palace thrived, as it was the ideal hot spot for weddings, dances, private parties, reunions, and “good ole fashioned get-togethers.”
A point of pride for the extensive German descendants in Monroe County, Foster Pond retains its original German roots and pays homage to the German Heritage that can be found throughout the area. The influx of German immigrants in the early 1830′s and again the late 1840′s made a long lasting impression in this county, and many folks still maintain the Old Country ideals and traditions. Dreamland Palace and the majority of the surrounding buildings were built by either German immigrants or those with direct German heritage. | <urn:uuid:55b76bc1-636a-4227-97e3-ecb3105c16b1> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.dreamlandpalace.com/about | 2022-11-30T20:13:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710771.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20221130192708-20221130222708-00624.warc.gz | en | 0.961666 | 686 |
After a number or high-profile truck accidents, one news source highlighted different safety issues in the trucking industry. According to the report, the National Transportation Safety Board claims that trucks that failed to adjust to slowing traffic conditions caused accidents in Tennessee, Maryland, Illinois and Kentucky. These accidents highlight an increasing trend in truck-related fatalities.
According to data following recent trends, truck accidents decreased and hit a low in 2009. However, more accidents involving the large vehicles are being reported in the years following that dip, and 3,921 truck accident fatalities were reported in 2012. Some have claimed that trucking companies are pushing workers to physical limits and are trying to limit scrutiny on driver fatigue allegations. In addition, while some trucks are outfitted with state-of-the-art safety technology that is supposed to help a driver avoid collisions, these vehicles still become involved in fatal crashes due to a driver’s condition. For example, the truck that apparently injured Tracy Morgan and killed another person in a New Jersey crash was equipped with collision avoidance systems and speed limiters, but the driver behind the wheel had apparently not slept for 24 hours.
However, the American Trucking Association, a trade group, suggests that any increase in accidents are related to the continued growth of the economy and blames the high number of accidents on an increase in demand for the transport of goods. A spokesperson for the group argued that a jump in miles driven by truckers leads to additional exposure to danger on the roads, which results in an increase in accidents.
Strict federal regulations control how long a truck driver can be behind the wheel, and failure to adhere to those standards may be considered negligence in court. Individuals who have been negatively affected by an accident caused by the negligence of a truck driver might be entitled to compensation that can be claimed through a civil action filed in court.

9/11 No Planes, Energy Weapons, Other Theories
What Happened on 9-11? A Fair and Open Debate
The “official” 9-11 story says that on September 11, 2011, four passenger airliners were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists armed with box cutters. Apparently, no one in airport security was concerned about 19 Muslims with box cutters boarding airplanes (box cutters were not a permissible carryon). The alleged 19 terrorists were able to subdue and kill some of the crew, take control of the cockpits, and then crash the four airliners. The first, American Airlines Flight 11, crashed at 8:36 a.m. into the North Tower of the World Trace Center (WTC) in New York City. The second airliner, United Airlines Flight 175, crashed into the South Tower at 9:03 a.m. The third, American Airlines Flight 77, managed to pierce the air defense systems in Washington and crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m., a full hour after the first crash. The last airliner, United Airlines Flight 93 crashed prematurely (headed to Washington D.C.) in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. Mostly as a result of the two towers collapsing, 2,996 people died during the attacks.
Unknown to most, three towers actually collapsed at the WTC on September 11. The South Tower (2nd tower hit) collapsed at 9:59 a.m. at a nearly freefall speed after burning for 56 minutes. The North Tower (1st tower hit) collapsed at 10:28 a.m. again at nearly freefall speed after burning for 102 minutes. When the North Tower collapsed, debris fell on the nearby 7 World Trade Center (“WTC 7”), damaging it and starting fires. These fires burned for hours, supposedly compromised the building’s structural integrity, and WTC 7 collapsed at 5:21 p.m. straight into its footprint at freefall speed. Strangely, the BBC announced the collapse of WTC 7 prior to its actual fall.
Within minutes, all major networks said that al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden were behind the attacks and America was at war.
Astute people quickly noticed many problems associated with the story spoon-fed by the government and its media. Buildings don’t collapse at freefall speeds into their own footprints. It’s impossible regardless of fires and supposed structural weakening. Passports don’t magically survive the inside of airplane crashes, explosions, and falling skyscrapers unscathed. The hole in the Pentagon seemed more like it was caused by a missile than an airliner. The hole caused by the claimed airliner in Pennsylvania lacked all traces of airplane parts. Many good books have been written detailing many problems with the “official” story. The website http://www.ae911truth.org/ is a good place to start your research.
Although the U.S. government set up the 9/11 Commission to investigate what happened on 9-11, the commissionwas destined to parrot an “official” story handed to them. According to the Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer), who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry, “At some level of the government, at some point in time … there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened.” Others on the 9/11 Commission expressed similar strong misgivings.
Several groups alleging “conspiracy” emerged. The most prominent was Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and was able to garner (as of today) 2,493 signatures from licensed Architects and Engineers demanding a new investigation 9-11. http://www.ae911truth.org/signatures/ae.html. In short, AE911 Truth, through many studies, concluded that controlled demolitions were used in bringing the towers down which contradicts the entire “official” story. Thus, 9-11 was an “inside job.”
It has been 15 years since 9-11 and a large percentage of the population has now opened their eyes and realized that the U.S. government lied about 9-11 and likely played a primary role in committing not only the murder of thousands of Americans but also hundreds of thousands more in the innocent countries invaded after 9-11. However, NOTHING has happened to those responsible; NOTHING has changed; NO ONE has been arrested. The same evil people still run the U.S. government, the CIA, and whoever else was behind 9-11. Politicians are indifferent across party lines except to repeat the same “official” nonsense. That’s the power of truth … right? Wrong!
Truthfully, the American people should be up in arms as the U.S. government declared war on its people. But years of conditioning, flag waving, pledging allegiance, soldier praising, and repeated use of pejorative terms like”conspiracy theorist” has deterred nearly everyone from doing the right thing. Without question, the American people are pathetic.
Why has nothing changed? Could even the so-called “conspiracy theorists,” like AE911 Truth, be controlled, i.e., organizations designed to help good people feel like they’re doing something but in truth are doing more than giving people an outlet to voice their concerns? Are there individuals (e.g., Alex Jones) and other groups (e.g., We are Change) hired to placate truth seeking individuals who have opened their eyes and just give people a place to spin their wheels? One thing that all of these groups share is their commitment to only peaceful government redress. Seriously, even if AE911 Truth was able to secure a new investigation, does anyone believe that the truth would finally be revealed and arrests would be made? Of course not. The new commission would find a few “mistakes” and that would be the end of it. Appealing to the U.S. government to investigate the U.S. government is just STUPID. The U.S. government should be treated with utmost disdain as a mass murdering mafia.
In addition to controlling the opposition groups, is the “conspiracy theorist” story also controlled? Are there possible alternative explanations outside the usual controlled demolitions claims of AE911 Truth and so many others? Could the planes have been faked? Did we witness the use of energy weapons? Some even claim that 9-11 was a hoax with cinematography and actors. We’re here to explore all alternatives.

Chapters Canada: Up To 75% Off Knitwits
Get up to 75% off Knitwits at Chapters. Knitwits are knitted hats and mitts that are really, really cute!
My kids each got a new pair of mittens for Christmas, plus they already had a pair each. Guess how many pairs we have left in our house? We have two pairs left, which means that four single mittens have already been lost in less than a month. One of my sons is wearing a glove and a mitt to school each day because I really want to refuse to buy more mitts. But, with this sale at Chapters, and these totally cute mittens and hats, I may just have to. Plus, if all goes well and nothing is lost, I won't have to run around in November trying to find a pair for them to wear when the weather once again turns cold.
Quite a few of the items are already out of stock, simply because like I said, they are too cute and such a good deal. But the ones I did find that my kids would love to wear (ages 3 to 8) include:
- Elmo pilot hat - was $26.95, now $6.69
- Sock monkey headband - was $21.95, now $5.41
- Hello Kitty pilot hat - was $26.95, now $9.43

Established over 20 years ago, Cool Creations Homemade Ice Cream is uniquely located inside the historical Pilgrim Hall building that once served as a Baptist church.
The Baptist Church of Lockport was organized March 7,1844 by Rev. Solomon Knapp. At a meeting held April 28, 1874 a motion was made to put and finish a basement and otherwise repair the Pilgrim Hall building. Years later, a meeting was held on October 27, 1915, and a resolution was passed instructing the trustees of the church to dispose of the church property. The property was then deeded to the Baptist State Convention with the condition that they sell it to the Lockport Social Center, when such Social Center is incorporated for the sum of $2000.
In the 1970's, Pilgrim Hall was the "Plush Horse" ice cream parlor owned by Don Meints and a partner. Mr. Meints had been a choir instructor at Lockport High School in the 60's and still lives in town. Then in the 1990's the building became Cool Creations and has been serving the community with quality ice cream and treats ever since.
With a 1950's motif and friendly staff, Cool Creations provides the community with a place for the entire family to come make memories.

In 3-5 hours of climbing, you visit the wildest parts of the Montserrat massif with views over the wine country. The most challenging bit is focusing on your steps while you stare at the jaw-dropping landscape. But no worries, we are always ready to assist you if needed.
The second option, called La Teresina, is probably the most acclaimed ferrata in Spain. Due to its higher difficulty, we recommend it only to those with good physical fitness. Taking 4-6 hours to climb, this spectacular route crosses two key summits and a breathtaking rock wall. On the way, you enjoy technical climbing at its finest. Natural bridges and overhanging sections bring you to the top to marvel at views of the Pyrenees. On the way down, you also have time to visit the Montserrat Benedictine Monastery. This route is currently unavailable due to a recent avalanche.
Finally, we head back to Barcelona in time to enjoy the evening, arriving between 5:00-7:00 p.m. You bring back great memories (and tired muscles) from some of the most amazing via ferratas Northern Spain has to offer.

Revised ADA Regulations Affect Building
Attorney general Eric Holder has signed
final regulations revising the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations, including its ADA Standards for
Accessible Design. A number of the changes relate directly to building
entrances which can include glass doors and windows.
The revised regulations will amend the DOJ’s Title II regulation, which
applies to public entities, and the Title III regulation, which applies
to public accommodations. Appendix B to the Title III regulation discusses
major changes in the ADA Standards for Accessible Design and responds
to public comments received on the proposed rules. According to Appendix
B, a new requirement says if operable windows are provided for building
users, then at least one window in an accessible space must be equipped
with controls that comply with section 309, which deals with operable
The appendix notes that “commenters generally supported this provision
but some … asked whether the maximum five-pounds of force requirement
of section 309 applies to the window latch itself or only to the force
required to open the window. Section 309 applies to all controls and operating
mechanisms, so the latch must comply with the requirement to operate with
no more than five pounds of force.”
The 1991 Standards required at least 50 percent of public entrances be
accessible. Section 206.4.1 of the 2010 Standards requires at least 60
percent of public entrances to be accessible. Under these revisions, when
two public entrances are planned in a newly constructed facility, both
entrances must be accessible.

: Help! I am worn out dealing with ADD-I try to understand and try to accommodate and compromise-try to
: keep a sense of humor-try to "not sweat the small stuff" but it seems to be all one way. I am tired of job changes and moving-tired of conversations that last for a few seconds before he literally leaves the room-I am tired, just plain tired- any other spouses?
Thank God, finally someone who I can talk to that will understand. I could have written what you wrote above. I too have adhd and I take medication-what a miracle drug. My husband takes it occasionally, so why bother at all? I don't think it is possible to have a relationship with an adult who is untreated. "Tired" is they key word. It is so incredibly exhausting and I am "tired" of dealing with it! | <urn:uuid:4c230fc7-0016-4ed8-9eb3-2ef4fee2bfad> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.healthboards.com/add/1332.html | 2016-12-03T16:33:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698540975.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170900-00095-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987816 | 226 |
Yesterday, I wrote about those rare individuals who can rise above fear in a terrorist state to become part of the solution, rather than a mere victim of the problem. With perfect timing, a friend sent me an article from the Times of Israel, about Mosab Hasson Yousef, a young man of unusual moral clarity and admirable courage:
Mosab Hassan Yousef has a knack for controversy. The son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, he has already broken every taboo in the Palestinian book. He has worked for Israeli intelligence and converted to Christianity. Now he is developing a new film which is sure to be no less sensational: a biography of the life of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam.
Yousef, 33, broke ranks with Hamas in 1997 and began working for the Israeli internal intelligence service Shin Bet. Ten years later, after helping Israel thwart dozens of terror attacks and arrest many members of his former movement, Yousef left for the United States where he sought political asylum and later converted to Christianity.
Today, he says, he is back in Israel for the first time on a personal visit “to inspire a new generation of Palestinians.”
“I love Israel because I love democracy,” he told journalists in Jerusalem Tuesday. “I am here to protest religion’s absolute control of people’s lives.”
Please read the whole article. It’s very inspiring. | <urn:uuid:5d657d62-0235-4a4a-8a9d-13f91bbe1aac> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.bookwormroom.com/2012/09/20/mosab-hassan-yousef-a-portrait-of-moral-clarity-and-raw-courage/ | 2017-06-26T18:55:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320863.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626184725-20170626204725-00569.warc.gz | en | 0.947941 | 296 |
I had a photograher friend take a picture and sent it to me to look at for my book. It's on www.ahealingheart.net. In fact, the story of the book cover is on my site.
I loved the name and cover I picked out before the printing, but my publisher said I had to change the name because someone had one similar. That changed the book cover. I loved both. After deciding on something new, the publisher said, "You can use the name. It's okay now." NOW was too late.
It has to be upsetting to the designer to getting rejection from authors.
Everyone has an idea but I think it has to be worked out between the two to get it right. But, I don't think the author should say, "Go Ahead" and then change it. We all don't know what someone else goes through on their end trying to piece everything together.
I'm piecing together my next book with a sequel and have ideas for the covers and when I get a publisher, I'm sure I'll be going through the same thing again. I have idea but the publisher who wants my book, will have ideas.
Hopefully, I'll have someone to work with. Getting covers to fit alcoholic books to send out aren't easy. I want it to fit the titles.
How is cover design satisfaction impacted by the author's understanding of who the target audience for the book is? Are the authors most concerned about your cover design dialed into what their potential readers want (expect) to see? If the author has done a good book proposal and truly understands who the target market is, it would make cover design decisions easier.
Many publishers are "outsourcing" the book's marketing research to the author. The expectation is that the author will have a solid understanding of who wants/needs the book. I don't know if this is true for Oak Tree Press but, if it is, author input is vital to the correct cover design. On the other hand, based on your story about the author flip flopping on cover design, I infer that the author was not too certain of who the target reader is.
I'm told I need to have a blog. I'm told I need to market. I have a website, but all this online marketing stuff is eating up every minute. How long will it take me to learn this. If I read and write all this, I have no time to work on two books I have underway. What in the ____ is a tag? Some one needs to write a book on this for those of us who are new comers.
Fairlee...by the time a helpful book would come out, it would be obsolete! However, you are right...there is a lot of stuff and it certainly can eat up a chunk of the day. Karen Syed of Echelon Press keeps a chart which spreads the tasks over a month. I have been allocating the first hour of each morning to internet marketing tasks...but I do really like the chart idea.
The books that would most readily address the needs of a newcomer is likely in eBook format. The greatest challenge, even for those of us who have been doing online marketing for years, is prioritizing and determining the best strategies for our personal and professional goals. Something you may be interested in is a free eBook I have that addresses Internet marketing issues most people have. It is called, The Truth about Making Money on the Internet. You can access it at my blog at www.themarketingmindset.com
Others have addressed the issue of time needed for online marketing. There is little I can add there, except that I am a proponent of blogging. It raises your visibility on the search engines (such as Google).
Tags are a critical part of online marketing. Think of tags as the key words, or phrases, by which you want others to think of your book. I completed a key word project for a client over the weekend. I was looking for ten key words to describe an author's book. I prepared the list manually. To get ten key words, I prepared a list of 129 possible key words and whittled it down to ten.
To automate a key word search, use a product like Overture (www.overture.com). Overture is now owned by Yahoo. Overture can create a list of key words based on what resonates with Internet users.
Have some patience...THis marketing is a long range program...Do something everyday.. and try not to feel overwhelmed..it is online and offline marketing and being tenacious. SOme things work and some do not..And some things work for a while and need to release ......and try something else...I personally find it is a little blogging, commenting, writing articles, networking with others...that seems to be working. I know there is more but my internet navigation and understanding is limited..But I am working on it..My book is finally released and on Amazon ...For Kids 59.99 and Over.
“Two Angel Wings" is the story of a my journey through Harrington Rod surgery for severe scoliosis. The book was written by my mother, Arlene Webster and is dedicated to my best friend Stephanie Stanich.
I was fortunate enough have the book published before my mom passed away from Alzheimer’s. I placed it in her hands and she knew that it was finally in print. My intent at the time was to publish it for her, but now that friends and family have read it and have told me how much they enjoyed it, I would like to start sharing it with others.
My challenge is how to promote when my mom is no longer with us.
What a wonderful thing that you published your book before your mother passed away. It must have been gratifying for both you and your mother on the day she saw the book in print for the first time.
While your mother may have written the book, promoting it may be easier for you because the book is about your journey with scoliosis. Nobody knows better than you what you went through with the Harrington Rod surgery.
To make marketing easier, you may want to contact national and regional scoliosis foundations to determine if they want to purchase your book for their constituents. You may also want to give seminars at local bookstores on scoliosis to promote your book.
BOOK REVIEWS - it is easy to suggest "have your book reviewed by Library Journal"... however, as a professional librarian I recognize that only about 40% of ALL published books even get a review! Anyone who has tried to get a review knows that you may send the book to review but that does not guarantee a review for a busy-over-worked review editor. Try getting endorsements for PR from professionals in the field of the book.....or use a free review soruce that promises professional work and criteria.
I agree with Marilyn. Getting a book reviewed, especially when you're with a small publisher is very difficult. However, I have to ask everyone, do you read the reviews in the book, then make the decision to purchase it? Or does it have any effect on you at all?
For me, being an artist well before I was a writer, reviews are just one person's opinion. The fact that a reviewer can make or break a career to me is ludicrous. Certainly a good review is always welcome, but why do we put so much stock in what someone else thinks? | <urn:uuid:18a8f78b-6ed1-4e35-a2e0-2b53898d5006> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://thebookmarketingnetwork.com/forum/topics/523145:Topic:10404?commentId=523145%3AComment%3A121388 | 2023-11-30T00:59:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100164.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130000127-20231130030127-00210.warc.gz | en | 0.975212 | 1,538 |
Bustling Bhavnagar is a city in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat with lots to do and see. This former princely state was founded in 1724 before being merged into the Indian Union in 1948 and is an important trade hub for industries of all sizes, housing the world’s largest ship-breaking yard.
Grab your binoculars and camera and head to Victoria Park for a spot of birdwatching, or get your culture fix at the white marble Takhteshwar Temple high on the hill, which offers some spectacular views of the city below.
Amble gently through the old city with its small shops, lively bazaars and amazing vegetable market and try the delicious Bhavnagar version of the popular Gujarati snack 'Ganthiya', made from chickpea flour.
Early evening is the perfect time for a wander through Bhavnagar’s old city with its ornate wooden buildings, cute little shops, busy bazaars, and impressive vegetable market.
Within the boundary of Bhavnagar city lies Victoria Park, a man-made forest conserved by the Indian Government. Covering around 500 acres, it’s a nature lover’s delight with a variety of flora and fauna including Indian birds like raptors, waders, perching birds and magnificent peacocks for you to spot.
Cast your gaze over the city and out to the Gulf of Cambay from Takhteshwar Temple, perched on top of a small hillock. This white marble Hindu temple was built in 1893, and its high spire (‘shikhara’) rising above the rectangular mandapa (pillared hall) can be seen for miles around.
Now a heritage hotel, the beautiful Nilambag Palace was commissioned in 1879 by Maharaja Saheb Takhatsinhji of Bhavnagar as a home for the royal family. Built by the German architect Simms, this imposing Rajula stone structure shows influences of Colonial architecture and grand decoration.
You can visit Bhavnagar on our Highlights of Gujarat Tour or as part of your own bespoke Indian holiday.

Jaguar officially announced that its F-Type will receive an all-wheel-drive system, which means that its range will grow from six to 14 derivates in 2015. The manufacturer didn’t release too many details but it told us that it will unveil its new vehicles at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show.
Still, Jaguar revealed the fact that the AWD F-Type R Coupe will be able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3.9 seconds, while top speed will be limited to 300 km/h or 186 mph.
For those who don’t know, the rear-wheel-drive Jaguar F-Type R Coupe accelerates from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.0 seconds with a top speed limited at 186 mph or 300 km/h. Both versions will be powered by the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 petrol engine that generates 550 hp and 680 Nm of torque.
In addition, Jaguar announced a technical partnership with The Bloodhound Project with the ultimate aim of raising the world land speed record above 1,000mph and to assist in inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers, which is the overall objective of the project. Currently, the record stands at 763 mph and it was set by Andy Green in Thrust SSC in 1997. | <urn:uuid:e183d161-94dd-4881-bc76-93f3560587dd> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://www.4wheelsnews.com/la-auto-show/2015-jaguar-f-type-officially-announced-with-new-awd-system-will-debut-at-l-33489.html | 2018-01-21T14:41:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084890771.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20180121135825-20180121155825-00721.warc.gz | en | 0.936237 | 278 |
