Manchester City endured a number of setbacks as they went down to a 3-2 defeat at Brighton having let slip a 2-0 lead.
The champions were reduced to ten men as Joao Cancelo was dismissed for a foul on Danny Welbeck moments after Ilkay Gundogan opened the scoring.
The Portuguese defender was dismissed for dragging Danny Welbeck down after misjudging the flight of the ball, however, Danny Mills believes Cancelo and City were hard done by.
Mills said on live commentary for talkSPORT: “Welbeck puts his arm across him first. Where can Cancelo put his arms?
“I’m not convinced that’s a red card. It’s a coming together at that stage, it’s not deliberate, he doesn’t mean to bring him down, Welbeck nudges him first.
“I’m not convinced there’s enough in that for a red card.”
City stayed ahead at half time and Phil Foden had seemingly given them a commanding lead with a fine solo effort shortly after the break. The England star collected the ball in his own half, charging down the left hand side before sliding into the corner of the net.
The two-goal lead didn’t last long though as Leandro Trossard pulled one back just two minutes later. The Belgian took advantage of Rodri’s slack backpass before turning John Stones and Ruben Dias inside out and smashing the ball home.
Gundogan then hobbled off the pitch with a knee injury as he failed to recover from a robust Alireza Jahanbakhsh challenge in the first half. City will certainly be sweating on the German midfielder’s fitness ahead of the Champions League final a week on Saturday.
And to top it all off for City, Brighton turned the game around in front of 8,000 adoring fans.
Adam Webster’s bullet header levelled the scores and the winner subsequently came from Dan Burn as he bundled the ball home on the rebound. | <urn:uuid:50d86a7d-965c-45bd-b00a-3085718692a3> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://talksport.com/football/882971/phil-foden-goal-man-city-lose-brighton-ilkay-gundogan-injury/ | 2021-09-23T05:17:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057417.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20210923044248-20210923074248-00141.warc.gz | en | 0.96714 | 431 |
Sheamus defeated Antonio Cesaro in a really good matchup between two similar styles of offense. Sheamus and Cesaro begin to feel each other out early on in the match. Cesaro uses his forearms for attacking, while Sheamus is more of a lower body powerhouse. I loved the spot where Sheamus catches Cesaro and throws him into the barricade because you can see the real strength of the Irishman. As we come back from commercial break, Sheamus gets into his usual offense. Cesaro reverses a few moves and sets up for a big splash into the corner until he is met with a Brogue Kick. Sheamus picks up the victory, but would get attacked by Sandow on the stage. Sandow hits him from behind, which causes Sheamus to tumble down the entrance ramp. I wish Sandow would have done more to Sheamus. I fear that it won't matter because Sandow won't win on Sunday.
Heath Slater defeated The Great Khali in a match I could care less about.
Kaitlyn vs. Aksana never really got started as Kaitlyn erupted on Aksana after she laughed at Kaitlyn from Monday's events were shown with AJ Lee. Kaitlyn tackled her and punched her over and over again. The referee would get pushed and slapped by Kaitlyn. Aksana ran off and Kaitlyn was in the ring upset. I assume this is a better storyline than we have come accustomed to. I am alright with this switch in character because it at least shows that WWE is trying in the Divas division.
Curtis Axel defeated Wade Barrett. The match itself really did not do anything for me because it was extremely simplistic and did not showcase either guy to their fullest potential. This match was used so we can spotlight all three guys in a feud that was thrown together at the last second. I still do not like the idea of Axel in the match. He goes from beating Triple H and John Cena to beating Wade Barrett. This is a huge step down and hopefully something that is used only for a brief period. Axel HAS to win the title on Sunday, right?

Could developing countries lead us all out of a fossil-fuel dependent world and into a healthier future?
This is the dream of the thought leader we’re featuring today: Monica Araya. She has her Ph.D. in environmental management from Yale University and focuses her work on creating a zero-emission society. And the first society she’s looking at? Her home country of Costa Rica (and they’re really, really close to making this a reality!)
On this edition of Saturdays Around the World on EWC, we’re discovering how choices with tremendous foresight, made back in the 1940s, had made it possible for the gorgeous and growing country of Costa Rica to go an astounding 299 days without using any fossil fuels for energy in 2015, 250 in 2016 and a full 300 days in 2017. 1
Here’s Monica Araya, co-founder of Costa Rica Limpia, on the TED stage in 2016 discussing what steps Costa Rica has taken to see such success with renewable energy and where the country is at with the process of adapting their transportation practices to become 100% free of fossil fuels!
What kind of world do we want?
Costa Rica is an example of a country coming together and planning – way ahead of time – for their healthier, more cost-efficient and productive future. They’re proving that development and environmental health are not choices that need to be made independently of each other. But this all starts with the people, and if they’re asked if they’d prefer to be able to generate their own electricity, or have a standing army, we’re guessing that most would now be on board with their forefather’s choice.
“I took a taxi the other day. The driver did not know I worked on these issues, and I said, “What would you like next year?” Then he says, “If I had more money, you know what I would love? I would love to have a solar panel on my house and have my own energy.” Imagine! I was almost about to hug him. “ 3
If you had the option to independently generate your own electricity, would you?
There’s a new generation of living happening…
And it may just include very conscious choices to save our planet for everyone!
If you’d like to discover a wealth of knowledge about how this journey is playing out in places all over Latin America (and they may be leading the world on this) take a look at the website at Nivela.org. Their mission is to challenge the conventional wisdom on integrating policies that advance development, the environment, and socio-economic goals.
Is Monica Araya talking about the ultimate “UpCycling”?
“UpCycling” is a growing movement we’ve written about before on EWC. It is the very deliberate use of things we might otherwise waste and usually, it includes things already have a lot of. I guess that’s exactly what Ms. Araya was advocating for today!
Oh, here’s a fun fact about Monica?
In December of 2016, she became the first Latin American woman to join the world’s largest all-female expedition to Antartica! How cool is that? 4
It was the inaugural trip for Homeward Bound, whose initiative is “to heighten the influence and impact of women with a science background in order to influence policy and decision making as it shapes our planet.” 5
Seems like they’d be a pretty awesome group of people to hang out with.
Stay open to new possibilities!

The latest weekly campaign poll for the Seven Network from ReachTEL has the Coalition hitting a lead of 51-49, following headline results of 50-50 in the last two polls and a 52-48 in favour of Labor three weeks ago. This week’s forced preference primary vote totals are Coalition 43.5% (up 0.8%), Labor 33.6% (up 0.4%), Greens 9.1% (down 0.8%) and Nick Xenophon Team 9.1% (down 0.8%). Malcolm Turnbull’s lead as preferred prime minister is out from 55.4-44.6 to 57.6-42.4, but both leaders’ personal ratings are little changed: Turnbull goes from 28.3% to 27.4% on very good plus good and from 37.4% to 36.3% on poor plus very poor, while Shorten goes from 27.5% to 29.6% favourable and from 38.6% to 39.7% unfavourable. The automated phone poll was conducted last night from a sample of 2576.
A rather different set of results emerges this evening from the latest fortnightly campaign poll by Ipsos for the Fairfax papers. It records a dramatic increase in the minor party vote, with both the Coalition and Labor down three points, to 39% and 33% respectively. Most of the yield goes to “others”, up four points to 14%, with the Greens up one to 14%. This cancels out on two-party preferred, which is unchanged at 51-49 in Labor’s favour on both the respondent-allocated and previous-election two-party preferred measures. The major parties’ loss of support isn’t reflected in the personal ratings, with both leaders up two on approval (47% for Malcolm Turnbull, 43% for Bill Shorten) and steady on disapproval (42% for Turnbull, 47% for Shorten). Turnbull’s lead as preferred prime minister narrows from 49-31 to 48-34. The live interview phone poll was conducted Tuesday to Thursday from a sample of 1437.
ReachTEL’s weekly marginal seat poll is a disappointing result for Labor, showing Liberal member Ken Wyatt retaining a 53-47 lead in his eastern Perth seat of Hasluck, suggesting a modest swing to Labor of 3%. Forced preference primary vote results are 46.1% for Ken Wyatt (46.2% at the 2013 election, post-redistribution) and 32.6% for Labor candidate Bill Leadbetter (29.2% for Labor in 2013). The Greens are on 13.5%, up from 10.7% in 2013, much of which comes from the forced response follow-up question asked of the undecided. The Greens got 10.9% on the first round question, but 21.1% of those who responded as undecided favoured the Greens on the follow up. The two-party headline is from respondent-allocated preferences, but 2013 election preferences would have produced the same result. The poll was conducted last night from a sample of 753.
• A ReachTEL poll commissioned by GetUp! suggests Rob Oakeshott is looking competitive in his bid to unseat Nationals member Luke Hartsuyker in the seat of Cowper in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales. Inclusive of forced preferences, the primary votes are Hartsuyker 42.6%, Oakeshott 25.6%, Labor 14.0%, Greens 8.4%, Christian Democrats 4.5%, others 4.9%. Hartsuyker would likely get over the line after preferences on those numbers, but only by a few per cent. The poll was conducted on Monday from a sample of 842.
• Roy Morgan has released details results of its polling conducted from April to June in South Australia – a little too detailed in fact, since results are provided at electorate level from samples of only 180 each. Taken in aggregate, the Nick Xenophon Team is at 21.5% statewide, which would score them three seats based on Kevin Bonham’s modelling. There is no clear indication of major geographical variation in the NXT vote, as was the case with Xenophon’s Senate vote in 2013.
• Another Morgan report repeats the electorate-level voting intention exercise for the seven seats recording the highest levels of Greens support, which suggests their primary vote to be slightly higher than Labor’s across Melbourne, Batman and Wills, but a) it’s hard to read much into this given the sample size, and b) Morgan has long been reporting excessive-looking results for the Greens. The report also tells us that Labor led 51-49 in Morgan’s regular polling over the fortnight, unchanged on the previous result, which didn’t get the usual published result this week for some reason.

Fahmy was working for Qatar-based satellite news broadcaster Al-Jazeera English when he was arrested on Dec. 29 along with his colleagues — Australian Peter Greste and Egyptian Baher Mohamed.
The trio are being tried along with 17 others in what's thought to be the first time journalists have been charged with terrorism-related offences in Egypt.
Fahmy's family said as the days drag on, the 40-year-old is frustrated at how slowly the trial is progressing and how his requests for bail keep being turned down.
"He can't take it any more," his brother Sherif Fahmy told The Canadian Press in an interview.
"It's been a while since we saw Mohamed extremely angry like we saw him on our last visit...He's just frustrated that it's dragging on and on for no reason."
Journalists around the world marked the Al-Jazeera trio's 100 days behind bars by calling for their release on social media and through gatherings in London and New York.
Many posted photographs on Facebook and Twitter with tape over their mouths while holding signs that said "journalism is not a crime." Al-Jazeera released a video from families and colleagues of the imprisoned journalists, which demanded they be set free.
"There is no justification whatsoever in the detention of innocent journalists for such an outrageous amount of time," said Al-Jazeera English's managing director Al Anstey.
The broadcaster also demanded the release of Al-Jazeera Arabic journalist Al Shamy who was arrested separately last August has been behind bars for 236 days.
"The campaign is focused on the release of our four staff, but is fundamentally a stand in the defence of journalism itself, and a call for people everywhere to have a right to be heard and the right to know what is really going on in their world," Anstey said.
Egyptian authorities allege Mohamed Fahmy and his colleagues provided a platform for the Muslim Brotherhood group of ousted president Mohammed Morsi, which the local government has declared a terrorist organization.
The government accused Al-Jazeera of being biased to Morsi and his group, a charge the broadcaster denies.
Fahmy's trial is set to resume on April 10, where his lawyer plans to make another request for bail, his brother said. The family is also hoping the court will review videos which police allege show that the Al-Jazeera journalists altered footage in a way that falsified news and threatened Egypt's national security.
Fahmy and his colleagues have pleaded not guilty to all the charges against them.
The entire situation is taking a heavy toll on Fahmy's parents, who travelled to Cairo from their home in Montreal soon after their son was arrested.
"My dad is holding up, my mother has totally lost it. She can't take it anymore," Fahmy's brother said. "The whole experience is very troublesome for my parents."
The family wrote to Prime Minister Stephen Harper two weeks ago asking for his help.
"We told him that we all want to come back to Canada as soon as this all resolves," Fahmy's brother said. "If there's any kind of extra action that he could take, we'd all be grateful."
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has said he's discussed Fahmy's case with his Egyptian counterpart. Canadian officials have told Fahmy's family however, that his dual citizenship has placed limits on how much they can do.
The Canadian Journalists for Free Expression said the federal government needed to take a stronger public stand on Fahmy's case, noting that Australia's prime minister had reportedly called Egypt's president to discuss Greste's case.
"We have yet to see the Canadian government come out and publicly call for the release of these journalists," said executive director Tom Henheffer. "I think that would be an important step in increasing pressure. Because that is ultimately what's going to get these journalists out of jail, international pressure."
Fahmy's family moved to Canada in 1991. He lived in Montreal and Vancouver for years before eventually moving abroad for work, which included covering stories for the New York Times and CNN.

I must say I wasn't disappointed either, I am a Spellbinder fan and have over 85 sets of them with these 2 new ones that makes 87! GULP :)
Recipe & Method
1. Base card is Centura Pearlscent card from Crafter's Companion which I have scored to make an easel card.
2. The first layer is from Tim Holtz & Ranger Distress Collection in Milled Lavender which I have embossed using M-Bossabilites Elegance. I have sanded the embossed area and then using Tim Holtz Distress ink in Victorian Velvet and using my stipple brush stippled the embossed area.
3. Using Milled Lavender I have die cut the greeting tab and the lacey circle and used a strip for the base bar for the easel.
4. Using Victorian Velvet Distress Collection card I have used the border from the accents and the doily from the motifs. I have placed the doily down first and then the lacey circle over this. The rose what white which I have distressed using Dew Drops Brilliance Graphite Black inked the petals.
5. I have layered the border down and added enamel Accents in black along the top.
6. I have stamped "Thank you" on the tab and added black gems to 3 of the corners.
7. To complete my card I have used black ribbon and added 3 stick pins.

Hama Attorney General Adnan Bakkour’s story is a major one, but exactly which major one remains to be seen. Is he a top legal officer in the Assad regime that bravely resigned in the face of a massacre? Or did he get kidnapped and forced to read a statement at gunpoint?
The first story is the story seen on in a pair of released videos, during which the apparent Bakkour insists that he resigned in anger when the regime ordered him to cover up the massacre of 300-plus protesters and issue a report blaming the protesters for the deaths.
The second story is the official story of the Syrian government. Already an additional Bakkour video denied that the regime’s claim was true, and the state media’s credibility after denying the massacres for weeks is probably about as bad as it can get.
At the same time, it is odd that Bakkour would pick this moment to resign. After all, the massacres happened weeks ago and he apparently didn’t have a problem with them then. Until he appears in public, a dangerous proposition no matter which story is true, it will remain a mystery. | <urn:uuid:acd0d0d7-489b-42f6-bf93-418d74dfc886> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://news.antiwar.com/2011/09/01/conflicting-stories-about-syrian-attorney-generals-defection/ | 2019-11-14T05:02:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496667945.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114030315-20191114054315-00046.warc.gz | en | 0.976138 | 238 |

~ A romantic drama, COLORS’ new fiction offering Namak Issk Ka will air Monday to Friday at 9pm~
3rd November, Mumbai: She is known to win hearts with her ‘thumkas’ and flamboyance. Wearing her bright lipstick and sheer exuberance, she sets the stage on fire with her impeccable dance moves. Meet Chamcham, the famous professional dancer or Nachaniya. But should being a ‘Nachaniya’ become a reason to be denied a happy and a fulfilling life? Can a ‘Nachaniya’ not be accepted as a Dulhaniya or Bahu? Questioning this very outlook is COLORS’ heartfelt romantic drama, ‘Namak Issk Ka’. Based in the heartland of Bihar, Namak Issk Ka is a story of Chamcham, who is looked down upon for her profession but in a twist of fate is married off into a reputable family in Mumbai. But as she tries to fend off prejudice, she sets out on a journey of finding her footing in the new family and eventually love. Produced by Gul Khan and co-produced Dipti Kalwani starring Shruti Sharma as Chamcham and the famous Bhojpuri actor Aditya Ojha as Yug Pratap Singh, Namak Issk Ka will air starting 7th December, Monday to Friday 9 pm on COLORS.
Speaking about the new show Nina Elavia Jaipuria, Head, Hindi Mass Entertainment and Kids TV Network, Viacom 18, said, “In these challenging times, we at COLORS have strived to keep our audience entertained with variety content and launched several shows across genres including Ishq Mein Marjawan, Pinjara, Bigg Boss and Molkki. To strengthen our prime time line up further, we are adding another unconventional show to the mix. We are excited to launch Namak Issk Ka, a romantic drama that will chronicle the life of Chamcham, a stage dancer as she fends off prejudice and finds love.”
Just like any other girl of her age, Chamcham (played by Shruti Sharma) dreams of a happy and reputable life. But she is always met with grimaces and criticism because she is a professional stage dancer, a ‘Nachaniya’ from Bihar’s small town. An orphan, Chamcham is a self-made person who becomes a Nachaniya to make ends meet. Completely filmy, she loves emulating all the Bollywood heroines’ dance moves that translated into her becoming a dancer. If only her struggles were not enough, life throws another curve ball at her and in a twist of fate, she gets married to an affluent businessman Yug Pratap Singh (played by Aditya Ojha). Even before she realises, Chamcham’s life takes a strange turn as her troubles magnify and a question looms- Kya Aap Ek Nachaniya Ko Karenge Bahu Ke Roop Mein Swikaar?
Commenting on the concept of the show, Manisha Sharma said, “Namak Issk Ka is a refreshing and heartwarming love story that touches upon various aspects. The character of Chamcham, a Nachaniya from Bihar, her journey to find love and respect, and the chemistry between two striking personalities is what sets the tone of the show and makes it stand out. We are excited to associate with Gul Khan who has done some incredible work in the past, and look forward to entertaining our viewers with exceptional storytelling.”
Producer, Gul Khan, Four Lions Films said, “Namak Issk Ka will give the viewers a glimpse into the life of a glamorous Nachaniya who earns her living by dancing at events and wedding. In a most endearing way, it showcases how under unforeseen circumstances she gets married to an affluent man and she struggles to find her footing in her new family, fight off the labels that people have given her owing to her profession and find love. We are happy to be associated with COLORS, a channel that has always presented unique and entertaining concepts, and look forward to a great partnership.” Co-Producer Dipti Kalwani added, “Through Chamcham’s story, we wish to highlight the fact that your individuality does not hinge on your profession. However unconventional it may be, everyone has a right to lead a reputable life and find acceptance in whatever role they take on in life, whether it is of a wife or a daughter-in-law.”
Shruti Sharma essaying the role of Chamcham said, “Chamcham’s character is very interesting. While on the outside she is this flamboyant girl who is also a popular Nachaniya, on the inside, she is an emotional girl who is yearning for love and acceptance. Being an orphan, she has always charted her path but is often buoyed down by criticism. But she does not allow people to crumble her spirit and comes out of it as a level-headed individual. The concept and overall treatment of the show is what drew me towards it and I am glad to be able to essay such a powerful and unconventional character on screen.”
Aditya Ojha essaying the role of Yug Pratap Singh said, “Namak Issk Ka is very special for me as it marks my debut on television. I was always determined to dabble into television with a character that is not only remarkable, but it will also leave an everlasting impact on the audience. Namak Issk Ka has fulfilled that desire of mine, and I am very happy and proud to be playing the character of Yug Pratap Rajput in the show. Since I have done a considerable amount of work in the Bhojpuri industry, there a lot I can justify through Yug’s character and I am thoroughly enjoying it.”
Talking about her role as Iravati Verma, actress Monalisa said, “While I have played a negative character before, Iravati is one of the most powerful roles that has been offered to me. A woman with a tragic past, Iravati might seem extremely sweet and gentle on the surface. Under the pleasant exterior, she is extremely manipulative and will ensure that she gets what she wants under any circumstance. When I was narrated the role, I immediately agreed to it. To be working with COLORS again on a show produced by Gul Khan is a dream for any actor, and I’m quite thrilled about starting this new journey as Iravati!”
As a part of the marketing campaign of Namak Issk Ka, the channel will be looking at a 360 degree campaign including radio, out-of-home and on-ground activation. The plan consists of a week-long campaign playout across Hindi News, Hindi Movies, Hindi Music and Regional genres including Bhojpuri channels in order to tap into the local audience keeping in mind the theme and setting of the show. On ground, a 7-day Bhopu activation has been initiated wherein a fully decked-up jeep with show branding will roam around the key cities of UP, Bihar and Haryana promoting the show. Additionally, for the true fans and members of COLORS Golden Petal Club, a special digital event is planned on launch day showcasing the interaction of the show’s xast with the popular dancer Sapna Choudhary. On the digital front, the channel has created social media handles for the lead character, Chamcham , to engage with viewers and brands through comments and conversations posts about stereotypical Bahus. Capturing the core concept of the show, a dance video has also been created featuring Chamcham starting off by showing her as a dancer and furthermore highlighting her journey of becoming a Bahu leaving the audience with a question- will she find acceptance in her new quest? | <urn:uuid:ba9d7bfc-a073-43a9-8533-529d7cb9d7e6> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.aapkacolors.com/us/shows/namak-issk-ka/ | 2023-03-26T09:05:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945440.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20230326075911-20230326105911-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.965003 | 1,656 |
Oxygen: key to common eye diseases
January 29, 2010 – for immediate release
The key to treating eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy lies in understanding the distribution of oxygen in our retina, Professor Dao-Yi Yu from The Vision Centre and University of WA will tell an international scientific conference on vision in Sydney.
The Australian Neuroscience Society Satellite Meeting 2010: “From Photoreceptors to Behaviour” is being held at the Save Sight Institute, 8 Macquarie St, Sydney on January 29 and 30, 2010.
Oxygen is vital to the health of the visual cells in our eyes. “It’s like fuel to a car – we can’t operate without it,” Professor Yu says. “The retina which is responsible for the first stages of the visual process has a limited blood supply, so there’s a delicate balance between the high oxygen demand of our retinal cells and a limited supply. Oxygen is the most supply-limited substance in the human retina. When a slight imbalance occurs in the eye due to a lack of oxygen, our retina is stressed and this can lead to various eye diseases.
“By finding out where the oxygen is most needed in our eyes, we can treat eye diseases better by shifting the distribution of oxygen towards those regions.” Professor Yu explained. “This can actually preserve vision in some diseases.”
One example is diabetic retinopathy. Diabetics are often at risk of vision loss as the blood vessels in their eyes become blocked, choking off the delivery of oxygen to the retina.
“For decades, the way to prevent vision loss caused by diabetic retinopathy has been to destroy the peripheral retinal cells. This is thought to allow oxygen to reach the cells in the central part of the retina – where it’s needed most, because this area provide us with sharp, clear vision. ” Professor Yu described.
However, the destruction of these retinal cells often causes the loss of peripheral vision, night vision and colour vision.
“Our research aims to restore people’s sight without destroying as many peripheral cells.” Professor Yu said.
The proposed procedure involves using less damaging lasers to treat the peripheral retina, but allow sufficient oxygen to support our central area of vision.
“The retina has a highly layered structure. By using special lasers with selective wavelengths and power modulation we can selectively thin out the cells in the outer retinal layers, provoking a natural shift of oxygen towards the inner retina.”
A number of groups of people are particularly at risk of loss of vision caused by oxygen starvation in the retina. The elderly are a major group affected, but people with cardiovascular diseases, hypertension or diabetes are also at risk.
The Australian Neuroscience Society Satellite Meeting 2010: “From Photoreceptors to Behaviour” is sponsored by The Vision Centre, which is funded by the Australian Research Council as the ARC Centre of Excellence in Vision Science. Media are welcome to attend and interview the participants.

NEW YORK - A group of unicyclists are determined to cross all bridges in New York City. The crew started their journey, and world record attempt, in December when they crossed the Williamsburg Bridge, according to their Web site.
Their last bridge crossing took place on Mar. 31, when they crossed the Stillwell Avenue Bridge on Coney Island. Thus far, they have done the Manhattan Bridge, the Queensboro Bridge, the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Overall, they've crossed 50 bridges, a task that can be physically strenuous and hard on the nerves, documents one of the unicyclists Keith Nelson on his blog, the Unicycle NYC Bridge Tour.
Their next outing is on Wednesday, April 7, when they will attempt to cross the bridges of Central Park. | <urn:uuid:fe7a28c7-106b-481c-ba2d-5a499c895b8d> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://unicyclenycbridgetour.blogspot.com/2010/04/epoch-times-article.html | 2015-01-27T14:23:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422121981339.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175301-00186-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946674 | 166 |

John Piper's book The Future of Justification (Crossway, 2007) is a great thing. If you have not read it, then you must. It is a clear, passionate, informed, pared down, thoroughly documented, careful expose of the Bishop of Durham's views on justification. It certainly needs no support in this task from Helm’s Deep.
But one or two things in the book deserve underlining, and in one case developing. In this Analysis I do some underlining, in the next two , ‘Baxter’s Soup and Wright’s Soap’, and ‘Aspirational Theology’, some developing.
In this Analysis I shall try to do two things.
The first is to draw attention to what I believe is one of the most significant methodological points that Piper makes, but one which may, in the flurry of interest about justification, and the dust raised by it, get overlooked. The second thing is to underline what Piper says about the ambiguity of some of Bishop Wright’s language about imputation and justification. What both of these have in common is that Piper shows us the need to observe theological distinctions.
Being and doing
Piper claims that ’Wright’s definition of righteousness does not go deep enough’ (62) What he means is that Wright’s account of divine righteousness starts and stops with his account of divine actions.(62-4) He treats righteousness in terms of actions. Piper asks, ’What is it abut God’s righteousness that inclines him to act in these ways? Behind each of those actions is the assumption that there is something about God’s righteousness that explains why he acts as he dos. What is that? That is the question, so far as I can see, that Wright does not ask.” (63 Piper’s emphasis) ‘God’s righteousness, , before there was a covenant, determined that punishment for sin would be part of what happens in the covenant (and outside it!)…..Limiting the “righteousness of God” in this context (ie Romans 3.25 etc.) to covenantal categories is too narrow.’ (68)
Piper's concern is not over some definition of righteousness not being adequate, but over the coherence of an account of divine righteousness that does not begin with who God is. Being, the being of God, comes first; acting is a consequence of being. This is true generally; glass is not fragile because it easily smashes, it easily smashes because it is fragile. In God’s case, doing righteously follows from being righteous. Acting faithfully is a consequence of being faithful. Wright’s account is not deep enough because it does not start with the character of God, but with the actions of God.
Piper’s identification of this failure in Wright is of considerable significance in his treatment of the Bishop’s view. But it is also vitally important more generally in Christian theology. For various reasons it is at present hugely fashionable to think of theology in narrative form: covenant (Horton), speech-act theory and ‘theodrama’ (VanHoozer), and, more generally, to think predominantly in the category of history, redemptive history, ‘biblical theology’. (Let’s call what is common to all these approaches, whatever their differences, ‘N theology’). In Wright’s case this way of thinking is habitual because he is first and foremost a historian, and so first and foremost thinks in terms of historical sequences, of sequences of action, human and divine, and of their significance.
But Piper has put his finger on, and highlighted, an inherent weakness with such approaches. They all need what a merely narrative, sequential focus does not and cannot deliver. They need a doctrine of God. (Piper has said this before, and at greater length, in his wonderful book The Justification of God, (Baker, 1983), but to say it again in The Future of Justification is more timely than when he first said it, I imagine.)
But if the Bible is a grand narrative, (not, incidentally, a 'meta-narrative') an account of God’s dealings in ‘redemptive historical’ terms, and nothing more than that, where does a doctrine of God come from? For the narrative theologian it can only come from a summation of divine actions, a generalization from them. God acts faithfully on this, that and the other occasion, and therefore he is faithful. But one thing is sure, that won’t work. It won’t work logically. (I know that life is more than logic, but it cannot be less than logic.) Why is this? Because from
(1) God has done A and then he has done B and then he has done C, and all these are faithful (or righteous, or loving or wise) actions
It does not follow that
(2) God is faithful (or righteous, or loving or wise)
At least it only follows that God happens to be faithful, in a similar way to the way you and I happen to be faithful. From the mere fact that God has been faithful on X occasions it does not follow that he will be faithful next time, X + 1. So God’s righteousness cannot be equivalent to covenant faithfulness, though covenant faithfulness follows from it. God might swear an oath, and he might confirm this with another oath. But what about next time?
The argument of the writer to the Hebrews is strikingly different from that of an N-theologian
So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. (Heb. 6.17-9)
How does the writer get from ‘God gives two oaths’ to ‘these two oaths are unchangeably faithful and therefore can be utterly relied upon’? Answer, because an oath (usually) appeals to something greater. In this case God does not swear by something greater, but swears by himself. Why is that? Because there is nothing greater in respect of faithfulness than God himself, and (in respect of a covenant) that nothing-greater-than is expressed by the impossibility of God lying. God might have appealed to something that was generally faithful. But this would not have given the necessary credibility. It would have been swearing by something less than himself. But swearing by himself, swearing by one than whom there is no greater, underlines in a dramatic way the utter reliability of his covenant, the impossibility of it failing by God having lied.
So from where does the writer of Hebrews get to the impossibility of God lying? Answer: he must get it from non-narrative aspects of the narrative. These are aspects that, physically speaking, are within the narrative, but they do not have the logic of a narrative. They have the logic of declarations or announcements; the character of our old friend the proposition. God tells us truths about himself, (or as seems to be the case in Hebrews 6) he grants the inspired writer an insight that enables him to draw an inference that would have escaped the rest of us. Such declarations or inferences of a declarative nature about God stitch the narrative together. They make it not merely a narrative about God but God’s narrative.
Of course the suggestion that God might not be faithful next time seems preposterous to N-theologians. But it seems preposterous because they smuggle in another thought – that God is essentially or necessarily faithful. Where does this come from? From God’s self-revelation, a self-revelation that is about a timeless reality even though the act of revealing occurs in time. (Exodus 34 is a paradigm of this.) N-theology, concerned only with historical sequences, does not allow us that thought, but at this point – mercifully – the practice of the N-theologian is often better than his preaching. He gains leverage by a means that by the lights of N-theology is illicit. He stands on the shoulders of the Berkhofian systematic theologian.
I’d go so far as to maintain that the systematic theological task does not need biblical theology or any of its friends. What we do need is exegetical theology. I gain some encouragement to assert this from something that John Piper says. ‘Behind each of those actions is the assumption that there is something about God’s righteousness that explains why he acts as he does. What is that? I do not ask it for speculative reasons but exegetical ones.’ (63) Exegesis shows (Piper believes) that ‘What we find therefore in the Old Testament and in Paul is that God defines ‘right’ in terms of himself. There is no other standard to consult than his own infinitely worthy being’. (64, Piper’s emphasis).
Which comes first? Doing is an expression of being. Being comes first. There’s much more to be said, but enough for now.
‘On the basis of’, ‘according to’, ‘in accordance with which’.
Piper has an excellent, sustained discussion (in most of chapters 6-8 of the book) of the unsatisfactoriness of Bishop Wright’s claim that justification is ‘on the basis of……’. or ‘according to......’. Here I certainly do not think it is possible, on the available evidence, to do better than Piper does in trying to settle what Bishop Wright means when he uses these expressions. All I shall attempt is to sharpen the sources of the ambiguity which, as Piper shows (and despite 10,000 words of commentary by Bishop Wright on an earlier draft of The Future of Justification), still lies at the heart of the bishop’s views.
Bishop Wright’s views are fairly obviously ambiguous at this point, both in the sense that (though being ready to accuse others of ‘fuzzy’ thinking) he has not troubled to clarify the senses of ‘on the basis of’ or ‘according to’ and also because, as Piper shows, he flip flops from passage to passage, now stating that justification is on the basis of this, and now claiming that it is on the basis of that.
The distinction that needs to be drawn, and that Piper draws (e.g.119) is surely pretty straightforward. It is the distinction between something itself, and the evidence of that thing. Sometimes the evidence for a thing is part of that thing, sometimes it is distinct from that thing, it is what that thing is related to, or typically or usually manifests or expresses. The evidence of having measles is a high temperature, for this is one of the ways in which the viral infection we call measles characteristically expresses itself. The evidence of having been born in Blackpool may be a birth certificate that states as much. But ‘causing a rise in bodily temperature’ is not what measles is, not even a part of what measles is. And ‘possessing a certificate with my name on it stating that I was born in Blackpool’ is not what being born in Blackpool is. Being born in Blackpool is being in Blackpool when one was born. Usually the certificate is only a part of the evidence of being born in Blackpool, or (in certain circumstances) it may be the whole of the evidence for that fact. In normal circumstances, the rise in temperature confirms the fact of measles (along with other evidence), the birth certificate confirms the fact of being born in Blackpool (along with other evidence).
Justification ‘on the basis of works’ could thus mean one of three things. It could mean (a) that justification consists in the performance of certain actions, or (b) that justification partly consists in the performance of certain actions or (c) that justification is something which certain actions give evidence of the presence or reality of. There does not seem to be a fourth alternative. These alternatives have nothing to do with the doctrine of justification by works, but with what ‘on the basis of’ may mean.
So why does Wright not immediately disambiguate? Why does he not say, ‘I see, of course, the distinction between X and the evidence of X, and that these may be different. And what I am saying is…..’ and then provide us an answer of type (a) or (b) or (c)? Partly, perhaps, because of a certain ecumenical motivation, a desire to look for an approach that will harmonise his doctrine with that of the Reformation. But chiefly because he can’t, since certain concepts are intrinsic to certain doctrines. (See Piper, 131-2) The problem is that the concepts inherent in the Reformed doctrine of the imputed righteousness of Christ – imputation, alien righteousness, the instrumentality of faith, and the like - cannot be translated into other categories. They can be translated into different words, provided with definitional equivalents, but that’s not the point. Ultimately we are dealing not with words but with things and their expression in concepts.
Bishop Wright comes as near as he can to the Reformed view but has the opinion that the doctrine of the imputation of the righteousness of Christ is ‘saying a substantially right thing in a substantially wrong way’. (quoted in Piper, 131) But there is not something, the doctrine of X, which can be less well expressed in the categories of the Reformation, and better expressed in the categories employed by the Bishop of Durham. If you state the doctrine in a substantially wrong way this affects the substance of what you say. And then you lose that substance; it changes into another substance, and what you state is something else.
A common pattern?
Although the two matters that we have briefly touched on in this Analysis are quite different, perhaps they exhibit a common pattern or tendency of thinking, a tendency to conflate X and the evidence for X: to say, the evidence of God’s righteousness is God’s righteousness: the evidence of justification is justification. Is this the result of a disinclination to make distinctions, and to draw logical inferences? Is this also a feature of N-theology? Maybe we can even draw another moral, that certain doctrines essentially involve certain concepts. If for whatever reason you change those concepts you necessarily change the doctrine.
Which comes first? In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. | <urn:uuid:6aa58180-3e3b-4f30-b443-ac4a329ce217> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://paulhelmsdeep.blogspot.com/2008/05/analysis-14-which-comes-first.html | 2016-12-03T15:37:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698540975.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170900-00291-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964323 | 3,120 |

Follower of Jesus, Husband, Father, Musician
My journey of music and ministry began when I was in college at the University of Texas, which is where I met my wife. I started out leading worship for a Christian organization on campus, then went on to perform for churches and camps, write my own music, and also produced for other musicians. After graduating from college I took my first position as a worship leader in a local church.
The early years of our marriage were spent in Nashville, Tennessee. It was there that our three sons were born. We were part of a church plant in Nashville, where I served as the Worship and Missions Pastor.
Following God’s direction for our lives has led our family to move around quite a bit over the past 20 years. The Lord has opened doors to many great ministry opportunities in music, missions and teaching. We have lived in so many beautiful places and formed friendships with people all over the world.
We now live in St. Louis, Missouri, where I serve as the Worship Arts Director of Greentree Community Church. | <urn:uuid:6cdec5e2-0c75-490d-a960-a35910e9a998> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | http://chipdemetri.com/ | 2019-09-22T10:26:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514575484.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190922094320-20190922120320-00439.warc.gz | en | 0.988697 | 224 |

But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery.

This afternoon, at Sunderland Civic Centre, senior coroner Derek Winter opened an inquest into the death of the youngster, whose full name was given as Reggie Simon Richardson Young.
A brief summary of the circumstances of the death was given by coroner’s officer Neville Dixon.
Mr Dixon said the youngster was born on May 31. He was pronounced dead at Sunderland Royal Hospital at 7.20am on June 20.
“Reggie had been taken to hospital from the family home after an incident with the family dog,” he said.
“Despite medical intervention he was pronounced dead.”
Reggie’s body was formally identified by his mother, Maria Blacklin, the inquest heard.
A post-mortem was carried out by Home Office pathologist Dr Jennifer Bolton. However, the precise cause of death has yet to be established.
Mr Dixon said a full report will be prepared for Mr Winter in due course, pending the ongoing police investigation.
Mr Winter said: “I am satisfied that it is reasonable to suspect that Reggie died from a cause that is not natural.”
The coroner adjourned the inquest until 10am on November 12.

Farrah Abraham Voted Favorite Celebrity Sex Tape Star
Farrah Abraham has pulled off an epic upset.
In a survey conducted by XCritic(dot)com and Vivid Entertainment, the former Teen Mom was voted Favorite Celebrity Sex Tape Star, receiving 24.5% of the vote and finishing ahead of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee (16.8%) and Kim Kardashian (15.6%).
It’s safe to assume that a Kanye West and Kim Kardashian sex tape is therefore in the works. Because no way is Yeezus gonna accept anything less than the best from his fiancee, right?
Other results from the poll include:
- Folks would be more interested in seeing Alyssa Milano have intercourse (with 50.3%) than in seeing Miley Cyrus Twerk naked (at 15.8%).
- Tori Spelling came in third (at 5.5%) for Most Wanted Sex Tape.
- Superman vs. Spider-Man: An Axel Braun Parody (9.4%) earned the top adult parody film selection for 2013, followed by Wolverine XXX (8.2%) and Man of Steel XXX (8.2%).

Having Alzheimer’s disease is already challenging enough, but the stigma surrounding this condition can make it even more difficult. Many seniors don’t get diagnosed promptly because they’re too scared to seek help when they notice symptoms, and the stigma can make it difficult for seniors to get the respect and care they deserve. Here are a few ways for seniors and their family members to fight the stigma of Alzheimer’s disease.
1. Be Open & Honest about the Condition
Stigma about Alzheimer’s disease tends to endure because so many hide the condition due to shame or fear. One of the most effective ways of combating stigma is to raise awareness about something and show just how normal it is. By continuing to interact with others and participate in their communities, it’s possible for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease to show others just how capable they can truly be.
2. Learn Ways to Help Your Loved One without Infantilizing
The most common complaint seniors with Alzheimer’s have is feeling like others discount or marginalize them. Caregivers who do everything for their senior loved ones in even the mildest stages of Alzheimer’s disease are perpetuating the idea that those with Alzheimer’s are completely helpless and unable to interact with others. Helping your loved one come up with management methods and use memory tools to retain as much independence as possible does a lot to fight the stigma around the disease. When others see it’s possible to have a full and independent life with Alzheimer’s disease, some of the stigma may fade.
Experienced Alzheimer’s caregivers understand how harmful the stigma is and work hard to enable seniors with the disease to maintain their independence. Every senior living with Alzheimer’s deserves high-quality Alzheimer’s care. Richardson families can rely on the caregivers at Home Care Assistance to keep their loved ones safe while managing the symptoms of the disease. Using our Cognitive Therapeutics Method, our caregivers help seniors regain a sense of pride and accomplishment while promoting cognitive health.
3. Fight Negative Stereotypes
A lot of the stigma around Alzheimer’s disease exists because people aren’t educated about the condition. There are many common misconceptions, such as the idea that Alzheimer’s disease means seniors are automatically incapable of taking care of themselves or understanding what people around them are saying. Taking the time to speak up when someone perpetuates these stereotypes can help people learn more about the reality of Alzheimer’s disease. Explain the realities of the condition and show how a lot of the negative ideas about Alzheimer’s are really just misunderstandings about how the disease affects others.
A caregiver with specialized experience in Alzheimer’s care can be an outstanding source of information about the condition. Not every senior has the same care needs, which means they don’t all need the same type of elderly home care. You can rely on Home Care Assistance to provide an individualized care plan to meet your elderly loved one’s unique care needs. Our holistic Balanced Care Method was designed to help seniors focus on healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and maintaining strong social ties, and our Cognitive Therapeutics Method offers mentally stimulating activities that can stave off cognitive decline and delay the onset of dementia.
4. Join Alzheimer’s Charities & Organizations
You can make a difference just by trying to educate others and dispel stereotypes in daily life, but to reach a wider audience, it’s important to turn to your community and ask for help. You may find it beneficial to join support groups where you can talk with others in the Alzheimer’s community. Check with local branches of Alzheimer’s charitable organizations and advocacy groups to ask if there’s anything you can do. Taking part in public education sessions and awareness campaigns can help you share your story with more people and do even more to fight the stigma.
A professional caregiver can be a great ally when you need information about Alzheimer’s and how to optimize your loved one’s quality of life. Caring for a senior loved one can be challenging for families who don’t have expertise or professional training in home care, but this challenge doesn’t have to be faced alone. Family caregivers can turn to Richardson Home Care Assistance for the help they need. We provide high-quality live-in and respite care as well as comprehensive Alzheimer’s, dementia, stroke, and Parkinson’s care. Call us today at (469) 573-4213 to discuss how we can give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your loved one is being cared for with professionalism and compassion. | <urn:uuid:f49d561e-b361-4332-8186-c7ab4b53f8bf> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.homecareassistancerichardson.com/how-to-counter-alzheimers-stereotypes/ | 2021-04-20T11:05:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039388763.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20210420091336-20210420121336-00241.warc.gz | en | 0.934315 | 966 |

Michael Dorrian from ANATOMY OF I has issued the following:
In remembrance of Chuck Schuldiner, who passed away 10 years ago on December 13th 2001, we celebrate the amazing amount of quality music he left behind.
As a tribute, I dug up an old rehearsal tape in my parents’ garage today of me playing a cover of Death’s classic song ‘Lack of Comprehension’ in 1996 together with Dirk Verbeuren on drums and my buddy Ed Martin on vocals and bass. The nostalgic value of this recording is vastly higher than its actual quality, but what can you expect from a bunch of 17/18 year olds recording a rehearsal with one microphone on a boombox …
You can stream the video below.
May Chuck’s music live on forever.

Not familiar with Diana Vreeland? Here is a short introduction:
Diana was born in Paris France to a socialite mother, who moved the family to the New York after World War 1 began. At the age of 19 she was featured in Vogue magazine’s summary of local socialites and called her “one of the most attractive debutantes of the winter”. After marrying and moving to London were she operated her own lingerie business, her husband’s job took them back to New York City.
In 1936, Diana started working for Harper’s Bazaar as an editor. Her column “Why Don’t You?” was a list of extravagant ideas for the modern woman. This column showcased her personal mantra: to have style you must be original. She resigned in 1962 and was appointed editor-in-chief at Vogue Magazine. In 1964 she was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame. Diana Vreeland revolutionized the fashion editorial industry by transforming it from socialites dressing other socialites to taking readers on a journey through all the fashion forward options available at any given point in time. | <urn:uuid:5e04d383-688b-473a-9ae4-bf651355ec63> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.patternindy.com/2015/04/15/diana-vreeland-the-eye-has-to-travel-2/ | 2017-11-18T21:18:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805049.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118210145-20171118230145-00702.warc.gz | en | 0.961294 | 369 |

Health Net is cleared by state to raise premiums
A California health insurer got the green light Tuesday to raise premiums an average of 16% for 38,000 policyholders who buy insurance on their own.
Health Net Inc. will put new rates into effect Oct. 1 after it delayed the increases for three months while state insurance regulators reviewed its paperwork.
The go-ahead from the state Insurance Department comes less than two weeks after it approved double-digit hikes by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of California. The state has yet to rule on a pending rate increase by Aetna Inc.
The announcement Tuesday highlighted the state's limited power to review insurance premiums, an issue debated in Sacramento.
In this case, the state evaluated whether Health Net properly calculated rates so that it devotes at least 70 cents of every dollar collected in premiums on medical care for its policyholders, as required by California law.

Eggs are bad again? New study raises cholesterol questions
Wait a second, eggs are bad again?
A new study finds that the beloved egg, which recently had regained some of its luster, may not be all that it’s cracked up to be.
Researchers at Northwestern Medicine say a large new study has found that adults who ate more eggs and cholesterol had a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death from any cause.
“The take-home message is really about cholesterol, which happens to be high in eggs and specifically yolks,” Norrina Allen, associate professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and one of the authors of the study, said in a statement. “As part of a healthy diet, people need to consume lower amounts of cholesterol. People who consume less cholesterol have a lower risk of heart disease.”
The study was published Friday in the journal JAMA. The lead author was Wenze Zhong, a postdoctoral fellow in preventive medicine at Northwestern.
Whether eating eggs or cholesterol, which is also found in products such as red meat, processed meat and high-fat dairy products, is linked to cardiovascular disease and death has long been a subject of debate, the researchers said.
Government dietary guidelines for decades said people should eat less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day. But in a big boost for eggs, guidelines instituted in 2016 omitted the limit and included weekly egg consumption as part of a healthy diet.
The change in the dietary guidelines came as critics questioned whether the government has issued advice in the past that had proven unnecessary or exaggerated, The Washington Post reported. An expert panel said cholesterol was no longer “a nutrient of concern.”
But the Northwestern researchers said their study suggests those guidelines may have to be looked at yet again. That’s because the average US adult now gets 300 milligrams of cholesterol a day and eats three or four eggs a week — and data indicate it’s bad for them.
Eating 300 milligrams of cholesterol a day was associated with a 17 percent higher risk of cardiovascular disease incidents (stroke and heart attack, for example) and 18 percent higher risk of death generally, researchers said.
They also found that eating three or four eggs a week was associated with a 6 percent higher risk of cardiovascular disease incidents and 8 percent higher risk of death generally.
One large egg has 186 milligrams of cholesterol in the yolk.
The researchers said their study looked at nearly 30,000 racially and ethnically diverse US adults from six separate studies with an average of about 17 years of follow-up. The participants self-reported their food intake.
The researchers suggested that people don’t have to ban eggs and other cholesterol-rich foods from their diets because they do contain important nutrients. They just suggest cutting back.
“We want to remind people there is cholesterol in eggs, specifically yolks, and this has a harmful effect,” Allen said. “Eat them in moderation.”
“Our study showed if two people had the exact same diet and the only difference in diet was eggs, then you could directly measure the effect of the egg consumption on heart disease,” Allen said. “We found cholesterol, regardless of the source, was associated with an increased risk of heart disease.”
Dr. Bruce Lee of Johns Hopkins University, said nutrition studies are often weak because they rely on people remembering what they ate.
‘‘We know that dietary recall can be terrible,’’ said Lee. The new study offers only observational data but doesn’t show that eggs and cholesterol caused heart disease and deaths, said Lee, who wasn’t involved in the research.
Dr. Frank Hu of Harvard University noted that most previous studies have shown that eating a few eggs weekly is not linked with risks for heart disease in generally healthy people.
‘‘I don’t think that this study would change general healthy eating guidelines’’ that emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans and limiting processed meats and sugar, Hu said. Eggs, a breakfast staple for many, can be included but other options should also be considered, ‘‘like whole grain toast with nut butter, fresh fruits, and yogurt,’’ Hu said.
Dr. Rosalind Coleman, a professor of nutrition and pediatrics at the University of North Carolina, offered broader advice.
‘‘The main message for the public is not to select a single type of food as ‘bad’ or ‘good’ but to evaluate your total diet in terms of variety and amount.
‘‘I'm sorry if it seems like a boring recommendation,’’ she added, but for most people, the most important diet advice ‘‘should be to maintain a healthy weight, to exercise, and to get an adequate amount of sleep.’’

Reuters has reported that President Trump will take the opportunity while in Miami next week to unveil new policies as it relates to relations with Cuba. It’s widely expected that a travel ban may be put back in place forbidding Americans from traveling to Cuba directly from the USA.
According to the article, the announcement by the president is expected on Friday, but may be delayed if certain details of the new policies are not completely worked out.
If you had thoughts of getting to Cuba, you better get going.

LOCATION: Hebei Province, town and village near Baoding
TYPE OF INCIDENT: Foreign journalist, local hire and source followed and filmed by authorities.
TOPIC: Rural spending on health care and household appliances.
NATIONALITY: Spanish and Dutch
Description: Local authorities took longer than 15 minutes to record the reporting team’s information, interfered with an interview with hospital director and appeared to intimidate other interviewees. Unidentified authorities unsuccessfully pressured the translator to speak in a private room and disclose the purpose of the visit. The authorities offered the journalists an unwanted lunch invitation and guide services. “They kept stalling our interview and our departure, and when we went to the Yingbindajie to interview local shopowners they kept loitering. This seemed to intimidate the shop people a bit. We asked them repeatedly to stop following us and not to take pictures. They seemed to comply initially, but after a few minutes would just do it again. This was repeated at the local clinic at Beidacun, a village near Baoding. When I asked two of them to identify themselves they didn’t give their names or namecards, but said they were from the local xuanchuanbu (propaganda department) and were here to help us.” The authorities were helpful when, shortly before the journalists left, one lost a cell phone and the authorities helped them find it.
QUOTE: “We explained that if the interviewees agree with the interview, we can interview them without further permission. They seemed to be aware of this, and just emphasized that they were there to provide service.” | <urn:uuid:a1d6ed41-bfb6-4192-b0b9-eb5747b7f3af> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://freshdstudio.net/clients/fccc/2009/02/11/hebei-journalists-covering-rural-health-care-followed-sources-intimidated/ | 2017-01-20T11:53:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280834.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00356-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980284 | 335 |

MISSOULA – The latest designs for the rebuilt Higgins Avenue Bridge show a structure with more room, and safety, for cars, pedestrians and bikes.
Montana Department of Transportation engineers are also confident that they’ve come up with a way to make the changes with as little disruption as possible.
- Higgins Bridge reconstruction will address traffic, pedestrian improvements
- MDT accelerates planning for Higgins Avenue Bridge rebuild
MDT was showcasing the designs and taking input from Missoula residents during a public open house on Tuesday night, the latest in a series of meetings on the multi-million project.
The plans call for rebuilding the bridge in two phases, using the same approach that was employed on the Madison Street Bridge two years ago.
Northbound and southbound traffic will be crossing one half of the bridge, while the deck on the opposite two lanes is replaced. Then traffic will be shifted to the new deck while the second is replaced.
The bridge will also have some structural work with the biggest changes being the expansion of the sidewalks to accommodate both pedestrians and bicycles.
That means bikes will no longer have to mix with the cars, and people crossing the bridge on foot will have more than twice the room.
The plans call for getting the contract out to bid later this summer, with work starting in the next construction season.

If it hasn’t been said already, let me be the first: We are living in the golden age of graphic novels, and Montreal is one of the form’s spiritual homes. Keeping up with the ongoing wave of new releases would be a full-time job, but here, at least, are three recent highlights, all by locally based artists.
The nameless diarist of Julie Delporte’s Everywhere Antennas (Drawn & Quarterly, 112 pp, $19.95) is a young woman shuttling between France and Quebec while battling a debilitating case of depression. Her malaise may be caused by a seemingly unavoidable fact of modern living: the 24/7 wireless radioactivity that surrounds us all.
Delporte’s preferred medium is coloured pencils. At the back of the book, she even provides a chart of all the colour shades she has employed (Warm Light Grey, Flesh, Prussian Blue, etc.) It turns out to be an inspired choice. Most of us last used coloured pencils in our early school years, and Delporte exploits that emotional connection to subversive ends, taking a palette we strongly associate with childhood and transposing it into a very grown-up world of alienation, numbness and despair. She also invites us into her creative process, letting the rough edges show in her compositions: images appear to have been ripped apart and scotch-taped together again, occasional lines of text have been crossed out but remain legible. The result is a rare immediacy; we feel we know this woman, and that we’re working through her life crisis in real time with he r. When at one point she laments “I can’t think of any solitary women — not in my life, and not in the movies, either,” part of you sympathizes with her isolation while another part of you wants to send her a copy of Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.
Most authors, whether they’ll admit it or not, have entertained the fantasy of seeing strangers reading their books in public places. Some may even have been lucky enough to see the fantasy come true. But what are you supposed to do when you see someone stealing your book? That’s the premise of Petty Theft by Pascal Girard (Drawn & Quarterly, 100 pp, $19.95), and in the case of Girard’s lovelorn eponymous autobiographical stand-in, the dilemma is all the more thorny for the fact that the kleptomaniac in question is very cute. Should he be outraged? Flattered? Some combination of the two? What he should do, technically, is report her immediately, but instead he embarks on an ill-advised sleuthing campaign, one that involves something that looks a lot like dating his subject. His questionable decisions may be partly due to his current circumstances: he has hit the cartoonist’s equivalent of writer’s block, and is considering a complete life change, thinking he’ll go back to school. Meanwhile he’s falling back on sheet-metal work, the only remunerative skill for which he’s qualified.
The wellspring for Girard’s variety of gentle urban comedy is probably Woody Allen’s Annie Hall, but it’s a tone that jumps media easily and has found an especially fertile ground in modern comics. Elements of Adrian Tomine’s San Francisco millennial tales can be found in Girard, though he employs a more childlike line than Tomine, and isn’t averse to applying the occasional touch of slapstick. For all the surface whimsy of his drawing, though, he’s remarkably rigorous in his compositions and specific in his settings. Newcomers looking for an approximate reference point might consider the celebrated French cartoonist Sempe, best known for Le Petit Nicolas. (Completely coincidentally, Girard’s first book is titled Nicolas; it is the true story of a young boy dealing with the death of his younger brother, and one of the most emotionally affecting graphic novels you’ll ever read.) For Montrealers, and more specifically Mile Enders, part of the fun of Petty Theft is in spotting the local landmarks. Pascal is crashing on the couch of a friend’s apartment above Wilensky’s; the store from which his inamorata likes to pilfer is, yes, Librairie Drawn & Quarterly on Bernard; laundromats, deps and the Y on Parc are represented faithfully. It might all sound like something that would shut out all non-resident readers, but as we see so often, the road to the universal runs directly through the local.
A generation (maybe even two) ahead of his fellow artists on this page is Réal Godbout, a veteran of every form of the cartoonist’s trade. For his first book since being elected to the Canadian Comics Hall of Fame, the Montreal native has taken on the ambitious project of adapting one of 20th-century culture’s sacred cows into graphic form. Amerika (Conundrum, 176 pp, $20) is based faithfully on a novel Franz Kafka began in his 20s but left still unfinished on his death in 1927. Also known variously as The Man Who Disappeared and The Missing Person, it follows the misadventures of Karl Rossmann, the teenage son of a prominent Prague family who is exiled to the United States in the wake of a sex scandal. A hopelessly gullible naif, Karl is soon cast adrift from his affluent New York benefactor and finds himself scuffling on the roadsides of a landscape that could be called Steinbeckian if it didn’t chronologically predate the Great Depression by about 15 years.
Kafka’s reputation as an angst-wracked spinner of sinister fables has become so entrenched that it’s good to be reminded that he could also be just a good old-fashioned storyteller, albeit one with a predilection for the grotesque. Amerika can be slotted neatly enough into the classic line of New World immigrant narratives exemplified by roughly contemporaneous novels like Henry Roth’s Call It Sleep and Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.
It was written without the author ever having visited the land of its setting, and perhaps as a result its America is an ever-so-slightly skewed one, with extreme wealth and poverty exaggerated for dramatic effect. Godbout sticks meticulously to Kafka’s source text and brings it alive with immaculately drafted jam-packed panels whose style will remind many readers of Joe Sacco.
Amerika will always be one of literary history’s most tantalizing what-ifs — just as it ends, it appears to be shading into the disturbing parallel-world treatment for which Kafka is so renowned — but thanks to Godbout’s labour of love, it should have a new day in the sun. | <urn:uuid:026fceb5-39ac-4e33-902a-7dbf36f7251a> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.montrealgazette.com/entertainment/books/McGillis+Road+universal+runs+through+local/10062437/story.html | 2016-09-27T21:21:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661213.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00043-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946176 | 1,463 |
NEW YORK (Jan. 27)
The American Zionist Federation called on its members and on all Americans today to protest the alleged boycott of Israel by three major Japanese corporations. The enterprises cited in a resolution adopted by the AZF executive committee were Japan Airlines. Toyota and Nissan (Datsun). The latter two firms produce motor cars marketed in the United States. The three firms were charged with rejecting normal trade relations with Israel under pressure from the Arab League which blacklists all firms doing business with Israel. The AZF resolution said “We cannot allow these Japanese corporations to become accomplices in this attempt to carry the Middle East war into the realm of international trade.”
In a related action, the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith urged the United States Government not to grant Japan Airlines additional landing rights in this country as long as it continued its participation in the Arab boycott. Arnold Forster, the ADL’s general counsel, said that “to ignore JAL’s intransigent stand against Israel would be self-defeating in the light of American foreign policy interests and American opposition to boycotts against friendly states.” He said the JAL has consistently refused to agree to a civil air treaty or mutual landing arrangements with Israel. Forster observed that the U.S. and Japan concluded agreements in 1969 which granted Japan major new routes between that country and New York and between Japan. Guam and Saipan. In addition, Japan Airlines has access to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Honolulu and Okinawa and is now pressing for landing rights at Chicago. To grant any additional routes to JAL “would be giving tacit support of the Japanese boycott against Israel,” Forster said. According to Forster, JAL cannot be separated from the Japanese Government because of the latter’s controlling interest in the airline. | <urn:uuid:b67d6a2d-a81f-4be4-a8cd-4f8f93a0b358> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.jta.org/1971/01/28/archive/jewish-groups-denounce-boycott-of-israel-by-japanese-enterprises | 2016-12-07T11:03:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542060.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00457-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962011 | 382 |
500g (8) portabello mushrooms (cut into 1cm slices)
500g (24-28) white button mushrooms (halved or quartered*)
500g (28-32) swiss browns (thickly sliced)
125ml (½ cup) olive oil
4 tbsp (¼ cup) lemon thyme (finely chopped)
Maldon sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
550g puff pastry
125g (½ cup) cream cheese
20g (4 tbsp) parmesan (finely grated)
1 egg (lightly beaten)
15ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
3 spring onions (roughly chopped)
shaved parmesan to garnish (optional)
Pre-heat oven to 210ºC.
Toss mushrooms in olive oil and thyme. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place on a low sided baking tray and roast for 8-10 minutes until cooked. Drain the cooking juices (discard or save for another use) and cool mushrooms. Taste for seasoning.
Roll out pastry to a 45cm-47cm round.
Using a wooden spoon combine cream cheese, parmesan, egg, lemon juice, zest and spring onions. Spread onto the centre of the pastry leaving an 8cm border. Pile roasted mushrooms on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Whisk an extra egg white with a fork. Brush egg white around the border of pastry and fold pastry, pleating as you go, to partially cover the mushrooms.
Rest the galette for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Whisk the egg yolk with a tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush outside of the galette with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked and golden brown.
Serve hot, warm or cold. If you wish sprinkle with shaved parmesan and serve with a green salad.
Note: * if mushrooms are very small you may only need to halve them. | <urn:uuid:26adea8f-052f-4183-8b3b-b7418018a97c> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.ruthpretty.co.nz/products/mushroom-galette | 2020-01-25T12:08:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251672440.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200125101544-20200125130544-00029.warc.gz | en | 0.81606 | 420 |

Quentin Tarantino is one of the world's foremost controversial independent film makers. Born on 27 March, 1963, in Knoxville, Tennessee, Quentin is a tall, gangly man, standing about 6'3" (191 cm) when he isn't slouching, and has a reputation as a script-writer and director of films with highly original, violent, and frequently very crude, dialogue-laden content - albeit often clever and funny. Wildly popular in the 1990s, Tarantino seemed to have faded from the limelight - perhaps due to some over-exposure in the popular media - until he returned with the two volumes of Kill Bill followed by Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds. Here's more about the man's history and notoriety.
The Man Behind The Myths
Tarantino first became popular with the release of Reservoir Dogs in 1992, which premiered at the Sundance Film festival. The then-unknown Tarantino became a small sensation in the UK and to the cult film crowds of the USA. After his 1994 film Pulp Fiction received the 1994 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival in 1995, everyone was talking about Quentin Tarantino.
Much has been made of the fact that his movies contain, or seem to contain, a lot of violence. After all, a lot of what Tarantino does involves violent content. However, when one observes very carefully, one sees that Tarantino's earlier films make reference to violence rather than show it on camera. Violence is used as a means to tell a story and its consequences are shown, often to demonstrate the very moral that violence never solves anything but causes, ultimately, far more problems. Usually, Tarantino does not like to include the actual violence on camera in graphic detail, and he says he strongly detests both violence and drugs.
As one researcher points out:
QT gets a lot of flak because he's confident and brash and motor-mouthed, but I think his work stands up for itself. He has this weird way of writing completely unnaturalistic dialogue in a way that appears casual and improvised (though once you've seen a few of his films you kind of spot it a mile off ...) But I love the way his films are recognisably him without being too [similar]. The playing with narrative in all of his scripts, the way the camera is always so knowing (like the way it pulls away from the ear-cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs, the on-screen square that Uma Thurman draws in Fiction and the way details are revealed in Jackie Brown at just the point you need to know them for it to be dramatic).
Tarantino also has a tendency to appear in cameos or in very small roles in most of his films, although he is usually among the first to say that he isn't the greatest actor in the world. He claims, with ambiguous conviction, that he was taught how to act by James Best, who to US audiences is much better known as Sheriff Roscoe P Coltrane from the infamous TV show The Dukes of Hazzard1.
Quentin Tarantino's Films
Tarantino has to date written and directed six films, with some form of cameo in each:
- Reservoir Dogs (1992) as Mr Brown.
- Pulp Fiction (1994) as Jimmie Dimmick.
- Jackie Brown (1997) as an answering machine voice.
- Kill Bill (2003/2004) as a member of the Crazy 88.
- Death Proof (2007) as Warren the Bartender.
- Inglourious Basterds (2009) as Colonel Landa's hands, an America soldier's voice and, in dummy form, a German corpse being scalped.
My Best Friend's Birthday (1987)
The above list should in fact begin with My Best Friend's Birthday, Tarantino's first attempt at writing and directing in which he played Clarence Pool. However, the film was never really released or shown widely, apart from to a few hundred people in 1987 - which still hasn't stopped some determined movie fanatics from seeing what had been made of it so far. The film was technically completed, but the final reel was destroyed in a lab fire that broke out during editing. The rest of the movie is only about 40 minutes long, but can be purchased from speciality video stockists if one is very diligent. Although it is an interesting look at what Quentin Tarantino was capable of and something of a foreshadowing of what would be to come, most of the film was recycled later by Tarantino.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn and Lawrence Tierney. Dry-as-dust Boston comedian Steven Wright makes a cameo appearance as a 1970s retro music radio show DJ2, and Tarantino himself has a small role as a crook ('Mr. Brown') who dies early. Written and directed by Tarantino, with some brief radio dialogue written by Roger Avary.
Six crooks attempt to pull off a diamond heist. After it goes wrong, the survivors regroup in a warehouse and discuss who set them up. The story is told by using a number of flashbacks, and Tarantino keeps an element of mystery to the film by never showing us the actual heist. A major characteristic of the film is Tarantino's very witty dialogue set right alongside a lot of implied gore and violence. Many viewers of the film have criticised it as being unnecessarily violent, but in fact very little violence is actually seen on camera (with the notable exception of the incident with an ear and a razor blade). The vast majority of violence is implied or referred to by the actors without actually being seen.
A trademark dialogue and character development method of Tarantino's is the inclusion of an incredible amount of dialogue in his films - the opening scene in a restaurant is one of the most lasting first impressions ever achieved by a writer/director. From the opening sequence around a lunch table to a later scene involving assigned nicknames3, to scenes involving dialogue between crooks and cops, it becomes plain that this is not a film for the easily offended. Those that are willing to put aside a little bit of sensitivity might find that underneath it's a solid and highly entertaining thriller with an excellent soundtrack.
The woman in the car who is shot by Tim Roth's character was, in fact, the British-born actor's dialect coach for the film. Tim Roth has said he really wanted to 'shoot' her since she was so hard on him developing a perfect, nondescript Mid-west American accent. Several references are made to other movies, some of them Hong Kong martial arts films of the 1980s - such as John Woo's Yinghun Bunsik (the black suits) and Ringo Lam's Long Hu Feng Yun (plot elements). Tarantino has said he loves movies made in Hong Kong during that period, at the infamous Shaw Brothers studios, and is greatly influenced by their visual style and storytelling methods4.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, and Ving Rhames. Steve Buscemi and Tarantino make cameo appearances, the former being much more difficult to spot than the latter.
Three short stories from the underworld of an American city overlap. Jules (Samuel L Jackson) and Vincent (John Travolta) are hitmen sent to retrieve a mysterious suitcase for their boss, Marcellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) is an ageing boxer paid to throw his last fight and is on the run from Marcellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). In the middle of all of this, Vincent (Travolta) takes out Macellus Wallace's wife, Mia (Uma Thurman) for a night of entertainment and harrowing terror. Several of Tarantino's trademarks are evident: the plot is revealed through flashbacks, there's plenty of witty and crude dialogue for character development, a restaurant scene, an incredible soundtrack, and a lot of nods to the writer/director's favourite films.
Pulp Fiction is a film that seems to inspire strong opinions for or against it - relatively few people have no opinion about it - which is in many circles considered a good reaction for a film to have. Notably, or perhaps notoriously, until the South Park movie came out, Pulp Fiction was the film with the most swearwords in it5. An element of mystery is involved with the unknown contents of the briefcase collected by Travolta and Jackson, another Tarantino trademark.
Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of the film is its near-perfect marriage of music and mood setting. The opening riff of the legendary Dick Dale song, 'Misirlou' heralds the film's swagger and style as if it were the Duke of Death coming to surf his way into the theatre6. The entire soundtrack is peppered with California surf-rock as well as some very enjoyable and appropriate covers of such classic oldies as 'Son of A Preacher Man', 'You Never Can Tell', and 'Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon'. There is even a classic funk hit - Kool and the Gang's 'Jungle Boogie' - that makes for a great counterpoint moment. There's a rape scene reminiscent of the 1972 film, Deliverance, which might be a little hard to take for some viewers, but it allows for some of the most satisfying retribution, and classic lines, ever seen in a film7.
The actress who plays the waitress in the coffee shop at the beginning and end of the film is, in fact, the music consultant for the film. Keep an eye out for Steve Buscemi, who makes a very brief cameo as Buddy Holly in the, completely fictitious retro-restaurant Jack Rabbit Slim's. There are many links between this and Tarantino's first big hit, Reservoir Dogs - Jack Rabbit Slim's is mentioned in a commercial on the radio during the torture scene in Reservoir Dogs, the character Vincent Vega (Travolta) is the brother of Reservoir Dogs' Vic Vega (Michael Madsen), the character Lance is eating a bowl of Fruit Brute cereal (a recurring theme of Tarantino's - this is a discontinued breakfast cereal) which also made an appearance in Reservoir Dogs, and finally the Big Kahuna Burger makes an appearance in both films. Not to be forgotten, the hapless bystander that is shot by Marcellus Wallace (Rhames) is in fact, the same dialogue coach/actress that was shot by Tim Roth in Reservoir Dogs.
Jackie Brown (1997)
Pam Grier, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Robert De Niro, and Michael Bowen. Chris Tucker makes a cameo.
Flight Attendant Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) regularly ferries money for gun dealer Ordell Robbie (Jackson). He is planning to receive $1/2 million from Jackie soon to retire after making a big deal. However, after Jackie has to be bailed from jail and Ordell initially decides to kill her, Jackie begins to get other ideas. Quenten Tarantino wrote this film based on the novel by Elmore Leonard.
Jackie Brown has been labelled by many as Tarantino's ‘worst’ film, though such a view is necessarily handicapped by the incredible success of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction . This might be due to the fact that Tarantino never learned to make films the ‘professional way’ from any single school of film making. In his own words, Tarantino ‘didn't go to film school - I went to films’. In light of that, it's easy to see other film genres being distilled down into each one of his films, and Jackie Brown is no exception. While the film has not reached the level of public acclaim and fandom of his previous works, perhaps this is due to the specialised nature of the 1970s film homage that Jackie Brown represents.
There are, in addition, references throughout the film to other contemporary films that the various actors and actresses have been in - a real Quentin Tarantino trademark. Examples are: Michael Keaton's character is the same one he played in the unrelated 1998 film, Out Of Sight. One of Samuel L Jackson's lines from Pulp Fiction and 2000's Shaft recurs and Jackson's lines about hand-washing appear in this film as well as Pulp Fiction and 1998's The Negotiator. Sid Haig (the Judge) was also an unpleasant character in 1974's Foxy Brown, also starring Pam Grier - and, incidentally, the inspiration for Tarantino choosing Pam to star as Jackie Brown.
Look very carefully in the background during the the arraignment of Jackie Brown - that's actress Mira Sorvino's very small cameo. Sorvino was at one time dating Quentin Tarantino, and starred in such movies as Mighty Aphrodite and as Marilyn Monroe in the US television documentary about her. Besides that, there are the aforementioned film references, and the fact that Tarantino missed that Jackie was a white woman in the original book; he wrote the part specifically for Pam Grier without realising the disparity, which eventually became something of a Tarantino-ist take on the entire story.
Kill Bill (2003/2004)
Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Vivica Fox, Lucy Liu, Darryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, Michael Jai White, and Sonny Chiba (a legendary Japanese martial artist, actor, and choreographer).
The tagline for this film is 'Uma Thurman will Kill Bill!' 'The Bride' (Thurman)8. Once a member in an all-female assassin group -the DIVAS, a [slightly inaccurate] acronym for ‘Deadly Viper Assassination Squad’, she is attacked at her wedding by ‘Bill’ (Carradine) and the rest of the DIVAS and left for dead. Instead of dying, she ends up in a coma, wakes up five years later, and begins her revenge. The story is told in a ‘chapter’ format, making for yet another example of non-linear storytelling by Tarantino.
Tarantino was so keen for Thurman to play The Bride that he held up production until her baby was born, which explains why this film was conceived on the set of Pulp Fiction in 1994, but took so long to make and release. Kill Bill was designed for release in two parts - the first was released in the USA in October of 2003, and the sequel, in reality the conclusion of the film, released the following year. This was allowed (many say required) by Miramax studios to make the movie more manageable for audiences while avoiding cutting any of the story out. The film is over four hours in length - the first instalment is 111 minutes, while the second is 136 minutes.
The film is extremely violent and graphic - it's hard to imagine any other film released by a major Hollywood production company with more blood in it than Kill Bill. However, this serves a point in expressing the nature of violence with swordplay and its inevitable consequences; although the excessiveness is more for homage to an older Chinese film genre than for any trademark of Tarantino's own style. Having said that, this film is likely to inspire (indeed, already has) an outcry amongst those who oppose such violence on many grounds. Again, ultimately it is left to the viewer to decide how this enhances or detracts from the quality of the film.
Keep your eyes peeled for these recurring Tarantino trademarks: Red Apple cigarettes (a ficticious brand) in a poster ad, a shot from the trunk of a car, and multiple nods to other films. Although too many to list here, there are some obvious nods to Shaw Brothers' films of Hong Kong cinema. In fact, part of the film was made at the Shaw Brothers' studios in Hong Kong. Most of the film is an obvious homage to Hong Kong martial arts movies, Japanese samurai movies, and their own special blend of violence and code of ethics and behaviour. The film even goes to the extent of using some of the same actors in recurring roles (Sonny Chiba reprising his Hattori Hanzo role), and the exact same methods for special effects involving a simply incredible amount of fake blood. Some references to other films include the suit that Uma Thurman wears (the same as one worn by Bruce Lee in 1978's Game of Death), the masks worn by the Crazy 88 gang (the same as those in The Green Hornet, a late 1960s TV series), and the Sheriff in El Paso (the same one as in From Dusk Till Dawn). Theme music from The Green Hornet - played when The Bride arrives in Tokyo, 1968's Twisted Nerve - the spooky theme whistled by Daryl Hannah's character in the hospital, and music from 1967's Ironside are heard in Kill Bill. More references exist, but may take repeated viewings for anyone to pick up - this is just another way Tarantino likes to reward fanatical viewers of his films.
Death Proof (2007)
Kurt Russell, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Tracie Thoms, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rosario Dawson, Zoe Bell (as herself), Rose McGowan, Marley Shelton, Marcy Harriell, and Eli Roth.
Death Proof was produced with Robert Rodriguez' Planet Terror to form the double feature Grindhouse, so-called because both films payed homage to the 'exploitation' B-movies once shown in US 'grindhouse' theatres9. The films were also released separately for general consumption.
Not wanting to follow the standard slasher formula, Tarantino placed Death Proof's serial killer in a stunt car that could be crashed at high speed without killing the driver. Kurt Russell thus plays Stuntman Mike, who befriends a group of girls at a taco bar, then later crashes into them at high speed in his stunt car. Though the police suspect foul play, Stuntman Mike gets away scot free. However, when he picks on stuntwoman Zoe Bell and her friends fourteen months later, Mike is shot and the tables are turned, leading to a chase in which the hysterical stuntman desperately seeks to escape the girls' revenge.
As is typical of Tarantino's films, there is plenty of dialogue in the taco bar, and it actually comes as quite a shock when the apparently normal Mike deliberately kills one of the girls by suddenly braking while she's in the passenger seat of his car. The high speed crash that follows is particularly gory in its detail, and is portrayed from multiple angles to show the fate of each of the other car's occupants.
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Other Films Involving Quentin Tarantino
Tarantino also wrote True Romance (1993), the 'The Man from Hollywood' segment of Four Rooms (1995), Natural Born Killers (1994), From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), and an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2005).
True Romance (1993)
Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, Bronson Pinchot, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Rappaport, Saul Rubinek, and others10. Written by Quentin Tarantino (with Roger Avary), and directed by Tony Scott11. This script was sold by Tarantino to make the money to film Reservoir Dogs, which was released shortly before True Romance. Written with Roger Avary, the script for this film was originally part of a much longer script, the second half of which became the bulk of Natural Born Killers.
Christian Slater plays Clarence, a comic-book lover who meets a prostitute named Alabama (Patricia Arquette) and falls in love with her. Slater and Arquette eventually steal $5 million worth of cocaine from her pimp (Gary Oldman), sparking a cross-country chase and the usual mayhem that always follows that sort of thing. A signature Tarantino-ism occurs at the end - the Mexican standoff, where a roomful of men end up pointing guns at each other, waiting to see who shoots first. Other common Tarantino trademarks are in evidence again, including profanity, violence, and excitement. With a supporting cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, and Val Kilmer (as the ghost of Elvis), it is likely that anyone who enjoys good acting along with Tarantino's style will enjoy this film.
Though described by at least one viewer as 'A good kick in the ass', there is something about this film that tends to keep it from being mentioned amongst Tarantino fans as their favourite and something that keeps critics from naming it first amongst Tarantino's films. To some, it might feel like a cheap imitation of Tarantino's work, or perhaps more accurately as an incomplete idea of Tarantino's that never fully saw the light of day. There are so many similarities between this film and Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (especially in dialogue styles), that it becomes painfully obvious to the viewer that this was, in fact, just a part of a much larger saga of crime stories as told in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction . What happened to the other half of this script, in Natural Born Killers, is another story entirely. Although highly entertaining, the fact that this was a part of something larger keeps the film from being a true Tarantino classic12.
Quentin Tarantino sold the script for $50,000, which was, at the time, the minimum amount of money that could be paid for a script. Actor Tom Sizemore stars as a cop in both True Romance and its unofficial sister script, Natural Born Killers. The line, 'from a diddled-eyed Joe to a damned if I know' is said by both Drexl Spivey (Gary Oldman) in True Romance and by Mr. Orange (Harvey Keitel) in Reservoir Dogs.
Natural Born Killers (1994)
One of the most infamous American films of the 1990s, Quentin Tarantino has virtually disowned Natural Born Killers, claiming deep dissatisfaction with how the story and script were changed by subsequent writers. However, Tarantino is still credited with having written the background story for the film. What is unknown, to the general public, is just how much of the remaining film is Tarantino's work and how much is someone else's. If one were to watch Natural Born Killers right after Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction , one might notice a much greater tendency towards actual scenes of violence and violent sequences instead of dialogue and off-camera, inferred violence that are the hallmarks of Tarantino's work. It is perhaps ironic that a film made to criticise the purveyance and portrayal of violence in the media has been disowned by a film maker who is both one of the most oft-criticised for violence in his films as well as avowedly independent. In the end, the film was roundly criticised for its violent content, yet another ironic fact in itself.
Four Rooms (Segment: ‘The Man From Hollywood’) (1995)
This film consists of four segments spliced together as a complete film. The four segments were written and directed as follows (in order of their appearance): ‘The Missing Ingredient’ by Allison Anders, ‘The Wrong Man’ by Alexandre Rockwell, ‘The Misbehavers’ by Robert Rodriguez, and ‘The Man From Hollywood’ by Quentin Tarantino. The film is really a situation comedy involving one poor bellhop (Tim Roth) having to deal with four separate, bizarre and/or uncomfortable situations at a fading-fast hotel on New Year's Eve in New York City. This film didn't receive as much critical praise as it perhaps could have had the segments involved less slapstick, if not slap-sex, comedy, and more of the slick comedic style the directors are capable of. Perhaps a biased opinion might state that the Tarantino and Rodriguez sequences tend to skew the other two, making them seem clumsy and out of place by comparison. In any event, as far as Tarantino fans are concerned, this film should be considered a must-have for fanatics only.
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Although fellow author Robert Rodriguez directed this film, Quentin Tarantino collaborated with Robert Kurtzman for the story, executive-produced, and starred in it, alongside George Clooney. Clooney and Tarantino are two brothers who kidnap a family and take them to a bar, which they quickly discover is infested with vampires. A difficult film to judge next to Tarantino's other work, it comes across as a confused mass of campy vampire gore and hellfire special effects. The story is surprising in places, but at times the viewer may find it hard to suspend belief and just have a good time. It must be noted at the very least that the dialogue is not nearly up to Tarantino's benchmark set in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction . The presence of Salma Hayek may well be the only redeeming feature of the film for many viewers (assuming one happens to like seeing Salma Hayek, that is), but the fun the actors are having is readily apparent (particularly George Clooney in his feature film debut). This film, like many involving Quentin Tarantino, inspires two sorts of comments from viewers: ‘it's a load of indulgent crap!’ or ‘it's super stylish, clever, and hip!’ Both claims seem to have quite a lot of justification, so personal taste is what ultimately will draw the line here. It should be noted, however, that by this time there was a significant public backlash against Tarantino's widespread exposure in the film industry. The fact that Rodriguez and Tarantino seem to bring out the worst (or best) in each other cannot be overstressed.
Quentin has appeared on various television programmes in the US, usually either as a guest on a variety or talk show or lampooning himself and his style. Perhaps most comically, however, he once played an Elvis impersonator in a 1988 episode of The Golden Girls. He's also had a small role in the show Alias playing a character called McKenas Cole. | <urn:uuid:ceec8b3f-aa84-4f7a-a600-b0391d0e1e7c> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.h2g2.com/entry/A56712332 | 2014-09-23T00:17:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657137841.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011217-00001-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96602 | 5,512 |

Open Communication Is Key To Reducing Centronuclear Myopathy In Labradors
When an easy-to-use and inexpensive DNA genetic test for centronuclear myopathy (CNM) became available in 2005, it seemed only a matter of years before the debilitating muscle disease in Labrador Retrievers would begin to fade away. The genetic test provided a tool that would allow breeders to selectively choose breeding partners and avoid producing affected puppies. While the numbers of CNM carriers and affected dogs may be somewhat reduced, experts say it is too early to determine exactly how much change has taken place.
Aggressive educational efforts by the French researchers who identified the CNM mutation in the PTPLA (protein tyrosine phosphatase-like) gene helped to spread the word among breeders and veterinarians. Articles ran in a variety of training and show magazines and newsletters for Labrador Retriever enthusiasts. Presentations at club meetings and health clinics held at dog shows and field events also helped to communicate information about the disease and the mutation.
Despite the educational efforts, it is estimated, based on informal conversations with U.S. veterinarians, that more than 50 percent of veterinary clinics still are not aware of the possibility of the CNM mutation in Labrador pedigrees, says Marilyn Fender, Ph.D., global communications coordinator for the CNM Project. "The staffs at these veterinary clinics are not familiar with the disease characteristics, let alone that there is a DNA test for the disease and related breeding cautions," Fender says.
"Many breeders still do not realize when they have an affected puppy," she says. "They assume it is an accidental birth defect. Since carriers appear normal, it is impossible to identify them without testing. A small portion of breeders do recognize affected puppies and fear that mentioning it will affect the sales of puppies with their kennel name. Additionally, there are breeders who simply are not willing to accept DNA testing as a useful option."
Owners of Carriers Unaware
CNM was first described in 1976. In the early to mid-1990s, three National Retriever Champions, as well as National Finalists, field champions and amateur field champions, were identified as CNM carriers when they produced affected puppies. Fender owned one of these National Retriever Champions, NFC-AFC Storm's Riptide Star. Due to their success in the field, these dogs were bred multiple times, passing the mutated gene to their offspring without their owners being aware. Carriers also were identified in bloodlines for conformation and pet Labradors, although in less frequency and with fewer affected litters.
About this time, Stephane Blot, D.V.M., Ph.D., of the Alfort School of Veterinary Medicine near Paris, France, led the CNM research on affected French dogs. He changed the name to CNM from a long list of other names, such as Labrador muscular myopathy, that have been used to describe the disease to more accurately reflect a condition previously described in a rare group of myopathies in humans named CNMs. As a result, the Labrador Retriever became a relevant model to better understand CNM in humans.
Laurent Tiret, D.V.M., Ph.D., associate professor of physiology and therapeutics at Alfort, continued the research. The team's first publication describing the discovery of the causative gene mutation for CNM was in 2003. The finding led to the noninvasive cheek-swab DNA test to determine whether dogs are CNM carriers, affected or normal. The French Association Against Myopathies supported the research due to the similarities between the Labrador and human diseases.
In June 2005, Tiret visited the U.S. and opened CNM genetic testing to the public through a presentation he gave at the AKC National Amateur Retriever Championship Stake in Hibbing, Minn. About 200 retriever owners, handlers and trainers attended. Articles appeared in Retriever News, Retrievers ONLINE, a Canadian online publication for Labrador field competitors, and the Labrador Retriever Club newsletter.
Since then, the Alfort School has tested thousands of Labrador Retrievers from 18 countries. According to Tiret, about 17 percent of the tests indicated CNM carriers and CNM-affected Labradors. A CNM International Registry, often referred to as a "white list," publishes the names of clear dogs tested at the Alfort School.
"This list is extremely useful and is consulted by interested viewers around 3,000 times a month," Fender says. "We are not able to list carriers or affected dogs due to legal restrictions. Though that information would be extremely helpful, confidentiality regarding carrier and affected dogs prevents this from happening."
Unfortunately, the prevalence of CNM is not precisely known because it is contributed voluntarily rather than from a scientific randomized sample. Complicating the ability to track disease statistics is that there is no way to use estimated data from the private laboratories that have sprung up internationally to test for CNM, Fender says. "Although it may be easier to go to a single diagnostic laboratory for testing for many diseases previously identified by various research laboratories, it is recommended to work with the DNA researchers who identify any disease, not just CNM, as they devote full-time attention to following up on the disease and its evolution," she says.
Identifying CNM in Puppies
Puppies with CNM are almost indistinguishable from their litter mates at birth. When they are 4 weeks old, they lack or show weak tendon reflexes and weigh significantly less than their litter mates. Some of these signs could be caused by other diseases and thus are not sufficient for identifying affected puppies.
The disabling condition sets in by 3 to 5 months of age when puppies begin to walk with an awkward gait and experience decreased exercise tolerance. Cold environments worsen their general muscle weakness. Clinical signs are progressive but generally stabilized by around 12 to 18 months of age. There is no recovery of the muscles, and no medications help.
The DNA test for CNM enables early identification of puppies carrying one or two disease copies of the CNM gene well before they show clinical signs. Before the DNA test was available, a veterinarian relied on a muscle biopsy to identify Labradors suspected of having CNM. An invasive and expensive technique, muscle biopsies are no longer used. "Every puppy tested at Alfort with two CNM gene copies became affected, demonstrating the specificity of our test," Fender says.
Some puppies with CNM are euthanized when signs appear. Others that are more mildly affected can live up to about 12 years with continual special care and environmental conditions. Weakness in the muscles of the esophagus can cause megaesophagus, a secondary condition that leads to eating problems. Pneumonia due to food particles getting into the lungs is a frequent cause of early death.
When Karen Goodman of Bloomfield, Mich., got her chocolate Labrador Retriever, "Godiva," the happy, playful puppy was an ideal companion. Before Godiva was 6 months old, she began drinking sloppily and became incontinent. Then, the young dog began regurgitating food with increasing frequency.
Godiva's condition waxed and waned. "She would have good days, and then a period of bad days," Goodman says.
Working with her veterinarian, Goodman submitted a cheek swab sample from Godiva for genetic testing, which confirmed that Godiva had CNM. "One part of me was glad that we finally knew what was wrong with her, but part of me was sad because there is no cure for the disease," says Goodman.
When Goodman learned that Godiva had developed megaesophagus, it was heartbreaking news. "This explained the regurgitation, but there was nothing that could be done to help her," she says. "Eventually, a feeding tube was used to give her nutrition. For the last two months of her life, Godiva regurgitated nonstop as the disease took over."
Finally, after three and a half years, Goodman decided to have her beloved Labrador euthanized due to the suffering. "It was the continuation of her suffering that made me realize the time had come to put her down," Goodman says. "My experience with Godiva was heartbreaking, but I was honored to have the time I had with her. She taught me a lot because of her bravery and spirit with all she had to handle."
An Autosomal Recessive Disease
Centronuclear myopathy is a simple autosomal recessive disease in which affected puppies inherit a copy of the mutated gene from both parents. A puppy that inherits a single copy of the inherited gene from one parent will be a carrier. A litter bred from two carriers produces 25 percent affected puppies, 50 percent carriers and 25 percent non-carriers. A litter bred from a carrier and non-carrier produces no affected puppies, but half are carriers.
"The identification of CNM carriers enables breeders to screen litters for carriers and non-carriers before placing puppies," Fender explains. "Litters can be tested before they are 7 weeks old. Many puppy buyers would be happy to own a carrier that would never show signs of disease. For breeders, knowing the status of puppies can help decide which puppy goes to which home. Given the importance of litter testing, the Alfort CNM Project decided to apply a significant discount for litter testing."
Donna Green of Parker, Ariz., wishes more breeders took advantage of genetic testing. She received her black Labrador Retriever puppy as a gift. At 12 weeks of age, the dog was not able to hold her head up when carrying a retrieving bumper in her mouth, and she had an odd bunny-hopping gait in her rear legs.
When "Layla" was 6 months old, genetic testing confirmed that she had CNM. "I had hoped Layla would be a hunting companion," she says. "When I learned there was a genetic test for this disease that the breeder could have used to avoid having affected dogs, I was angry.
"On bad days, Layla's front end collapses, causing her to fall and skin her snout. In the mornings, she is stiff. Sometimes when we're on a walk, Layla must stop to take breaks before we're able to carry on. Though she weighs 57 pounds, her normal weight should be around 70 pounds."
Current Research in Dogs & Humans
In humans, CNM has two modes of inheritance. The autosomal dominant form, diagnosed in adolescents and young adults, can leave sufferers wheelchair-bound. The autosomal recessive form, diagnosed in children, may cause curvature of the spine. The similarities between the Labrador and human myopathies make Labrador Retrievers with CNM good models for the human disease.
Revenue generated from CNM testing at the Alfort School is channeled back into research. "The researchers are committed to the health of the canine gene pool as well as future therapeutic applications to dogs and humans," Fender says. "Over $250,000 in testing from U.S. breeders has gone back into the research. This has enabled the Alfort scientists to identify in collaboration with other French and U.S. laboratories three other canine mutations in Staffordshire Terriers, Labradors and Great Danes."
In collaboration with an international consortium, the team also is exploring the role of PTPLA in muscle pathophysiology, using unique cell and mouse models developed in part with the genetic testing money. "After years of active research, we now understand the biochemical function of PTPLA," Tiret says. "We hope to soon have opportunities to test new drugs to alleviate the damage done by CNM in cells, mice models and affected Labradors. Once efficacy and safety of these treatments are validated in animals, we hope to be able to treat humans."

Summer is almost over which means that kids will be going back to school. Organizing a last minute summer getaway does not have to be difficult, time consuming, or expensive. An easy way to jam pack last minute fun is to ride the Metro Red Line which provides family-fun for kids all ages. With the help of Metro, families can ride any bus or rail line all day for only $5 with a $5 Day Pass.
Continue reading for some suggestions to make the end of summer worthwhile via the Red Line:
1. A hidden gem of Los Angeles sits atop of the L.A. City Hall on the 27th floor. The Tom Bradley Room is a place you won’t find on the main website, yet should be recognized for its historic beauty. Portraits of past mayors greet you on the 26th floor as you ascend the stairs up to the 27th floor to a room used for special events and luncheons. The room is surrounded by an observation deck that unveils a beautiful 360 view of Downtown Los Angeles and beyond. It is free to the public during the hours of 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and easily accessible off of the Civic Center Station.
2. Also off of the Civic Center Station lies the Museum of Contemporary Art in the California Plaza. If you show a valid TAP card at the MOCA box office, you can receive 2-for-1 admission. The museum hosts a free family event, Sunday Studio, the first Sunday of the month. For a quick view of public art, just walk through the plaza and look at the sculptures. The Walt Disney Concert Hall has daily audio tours and Saturday morning concerts for ages 5-11 at various times throughout the year.
3. You could probably spend the entire day along Hollywood Boulevard off of Hollywood/Highland Station. With the help of Metro, you can save at participating locations at the Hollywood & Highland shopping center. Along the boulevard, star-struck tourists scan the bronze-and-pink star plaques on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for favorite stars’ names or pose for the camera with Iron Man, Captain Jack Sparrow and other film character look-alikes who hang out in front of TCL Chinese Theatere. In the courtyard of the Chinese Theatere, kids can step into the feet of the cast of “Harry Potter” series and other famous celebrities (Marilyn Monroe’s feet are so tiny!).
4. A family favorite has always been Disney’s El Capitan Theatere, where kids can see Disney movies in 3D. Starting August 9, Planes 3D will be playing until September 18. After watching a movie, grab some dessert at Disney’s Soda Fountain and Studio Store. Kids can choose from a variety of ice cream flavors to compliment a hot fudge sundae. If you have a big family, order “Mickey’s Masterpiece”…only if you dare.
5. Also along Hollywood Boulevard are a series of museums for the whole family to enjoy. Have a kid who loves the wacky and bizarre? Then the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum is the perfect place for weird family fun. You can also get up close and person with Angelina Jolie and Elvis Presley all in the same room at Hollywood Wax Museum.
6. If you want to spend the day at an amusement park, then the Red Line has you covered. Off of Universal City Station lies Universal Studios Hollywood, the perfect place for a family who loves movies. Families can enjoy movie-themed rides such as Transformers, a studio tour, and more. Across the street from the subway station is a free shuttle bus that will conveniently take you to Universal Studios Hollywood and CityWalk Hollywood. At Citywalk, families can choose from enjoying a comedy club, indoor sky diving (very cool – don’t wear a dress!), and a huge candy store (a personal favorite). | <urn:uuid:58485653-fcdb-471a-9efb-4b09841344d5> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://thesource.metro.net/2013/08/14/the-day-pass-diary-riding-the-red-line-family-style/ | 2018-04-24T12:45:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125946688.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20180424115900-20180424135900-00288.warc.gz | en | 0.916031 | 817 |

A mum and grandma has hit back at a cruel commenter who made remarks about her size while she was in a sports clothing shop – just after she’d run a 10k race.
Amanda Townsend, 45, wrote an open letter ‘To the couple in Sports Direct Blackpool at 12.30 on Sunday who totally belittled me’ on her Facebook page, making it clear how much their words had hurt.
‘I just wanted to say how much your cruel snigger and whispers to your wife upset me, not just upset me a little bit but has made me feel totally and utterly crap inside and out,’ Amanda wrote.
‘Yes I am a huge size 22 and weigh 20 stone and yes I was wearing Nike pink patchwork running leggings and pink Asics trainers and I was looking colourful with red rosey cheeks but what you didn’t realise was that I had just ran a 10k race 15 mins earlier, also that I have only been running for the last 7 months and have lost a massive 6 stone in that time!’
She then recalled how she had confronted the pair, who ‘shot off at a rate of nots looking shocked and embarrassed’.
‘So next time you feel the need to be horrible to ANYONE please think before you look at someone and whisper to your wife to look too. Fat people have feelings too you know.’
Since Amanda shared her emotional post at the end of April, it has received over 2,700 shares and hundreds of supportive comments applauding her positive attitude and dedication to exercise.
‘Good on ya you’re doing fantastic and look great. To hell with those ignorant very sad people,’ one said, while another agreed, ‘People are so narrow mined and cruel. But what you have achieved is commendable. Keep it up. Well done.’
‘I was really upset. I wasn’t just wearing running pants and a training top for fashion reasons. I was probably still purple from the run,’ Amanda later explained.
‘I know I’m fat but at least I’m doing something about it. There was no need for this couple to make comments like that when they clearly don’t know how hard I’m working.

Antonio Di Berardino
Major: Business Administration/Management
A native of Venezuela, Antonio was learning English at Education First in Boston when SVC Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach David Bromirski contacted him to see if he was interested in visiting Southern Vermont College. Only one week away from returning to Venezuela, Coach Bromirski and Men’s Basketball Coach Mike McDonough sparked the desire in Antonio to possibly attend a college in United States – and play basketball. Now he’s enrolled in the Business Administration/Management major at SVC.
When it came time to sign up for clubs and organizations on campus, Antonio was eager to join most everything. He soon realized that his studies and his membership on the men’s cross country and basketball teams would take a front seat! He’s excited that the cross country team placed second at the NECC championship, and the next round will be at the regional conference.
Coming from a well disciplined school system in Venezuela, he knows that it’s important to attend classes at SVC. So far, Antonio has enjoyed taking Assistant Professor Jeb Gorham’s classes in Quest for Success and Organizational Management and Macro-Economics with Instructor James McDonald. During his free time, he likes to watch movies, play video games and listen to Latin music.
Antonio misses his family and the food back home. He knows that he can’t afford to go home until after the spring semester. During the holiday break, he’ll stay with friends in Boston, then return to campus in early January to play in more basketball games. It’s been an adjustment coming to U.S. for Antonio, especially getting used to colder weather; all year round, it’s very hot in Venezuela, with six months of sun and six months of rain.
Antonio’s goal in life is to play basketball, open up his own business in Venezuela - perhaps a Duncan Donuts’ franchise - settle down and live in a house on the beach. He also wants to travel, especially to Columbia, Spain and Brazil.

Pricey capital city pushes residents to New Taipei
The China Post news staff
July 21, 2012, 12:05 am TWN
The number of people moving from Taipei to New Taipei City increased more than 14 percent in the second quarter, government figures have shown, as property prices in the capital city continue rising.
A total 13,254 residents of the capital city moved to the neighboring city in the second quarter, rising 14.54 percent compared to the first quarter, according to statistics from the interior ministry.
Taoyuan County was also a major destination for both Taipei and New Taipei residents wishing to relocate.
A total of 1,885 Taipei resident settled in Taoyuan in the second quarter, increasing 14.73 percent, the figures showed, while 3,877 people from New Taipei City moved to the neighboring county, rising 20.12 percent.
Observers from the real estate market said the rising property prices are a major reason behind the rise in relocation to more affordable areas.
Such a trend had been less obvious over the past year as people had hoped property prices would come down on the government's "luxury tax" measures, such as imposing an extra tax on speculative transactions, the observers said.
But prices have shown no sings of falling, with some areas seeing prices going further up to the disappointment of particularly young people looking to have their own homes, they said.
The latest move has been taken chiefly by young people who could not afford the prohibitive prices in Taipei or New Taipei and would still want comfortable living conditions, such as apartments of considerable sizes, the observers said.
Prices in some New Taipei areas and in Taoyuan in general are still affordable at less than NT$200,000 per ping (36 square feet), the observers said.
The improving transportation systems linking Taoyuan, New Taipei and Taipei are making it much easier to commute, they added.
Meanwhile in Kaohsiung, the property market has been booming, with June sales doubling from those in January this year, according to the United Evening News.
Prices in Kaohsiung are still much lower than those in Greater Taipei although average prices in some popular areas have risen more than 10 percent from about a year ago, it said.
The biggest boom in prices has taken place in Gushan district of the southern city, rising 15.9 percent to average NT$155,000 per ping, it added. | <urn:uuid:8555901f-5ac0-43d0-919e-d61913a7fed8> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/local/taipei/2012/07/21/348342/Pricey-capital.htm | 2016-06-25T14:23:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783393332.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154953-00071-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96619 | 511 |
Scientists of the Human Brain Project (HBP) have used simulation tools to uncover molecular mechanisms of a family of enzymes that is key to processes related to brain plasticity and learning. Their results, published in WIREs Computational Molecular Science, provide insights into the dynamics between so-called adenylyl cyclase enzymes and the proteins that regulate their activity.
With their study, a collaboration between nine institutions from six countries, the authors present a proof of principle showing how using different molecular simulation techniques on a single enzyme and its regulators provides a detailed picture of its function – which would be difficult or impossible to obtain by empirical research.
Adenylyl cyclases (AC) constitute a family of enzymes that play key roles across all cells in the human body. Most importantly, AC catalyses the production of cyclic AMP, a messenger that regulates many fundamental cellular functions.
For the past few years, a team of Human Brain Project researchers from all over Europe has systematically investigated the structure, function, and dynamics of AC enzymes, focusing on a very important member of the family, the AC5 protein. They used a wide range of multiscale molecular simulation techniques, which enable the study of biological systems at the atomic level. Their findings were then incorporated in models of a network centred on AC5 that underlies memory reward processes in the brain. The authors uncover how AC5 interacts with its cellular partners, following binding of the neurotransmitters, dopamine (often associated with a rewarding stimulus) and acetylcholine, to their target receptors located on the cell surface.
They further show the ability of the AC5 enzyme to perform “coincidence detection” of the two neurotransmitters: a cyclic AMP response is produced only when the two neurotransmitters bind almost simultaneously to their receptors. This is a crucial requirement for synaptic potentiation, a process that is important for learning and memory.
For the future, the HBP scientists expect this type of research, that in this case required several years, to be carried out much more efficiently. Firstly, HBP scientists are developing molecular and subcellular simulation software infrastructures for the EBRAINS and FENIX services for multiscale brain simulation. Secondly, exascale computers, powerful computing systems that can perform one quintillion operations per second, are being installed all over the world. “We are working hard to adapt our biomolecular simulation codes towards this new architecture. These computers, if exploited properly by our codes, may expand tremendously the domain of applicability of biomolecular simulation,” says Paolo Carloni, head of the Institute for Computational Biomedicine at Forschungszentrum Jülich and co-author of the study. Europe’s first exascale computer will be in Forschungszentrum Jülich, the research centre where part of this team of researchers is based.

Explainer: Working Through the Details of Medicaid Expansion
One of the reasons Medicaid expansion is working so well is that the federal government is picking up the tab
What it is
Since 1965 Medicaid has been the primary federal program for delivering health coverage to mothers and children who receive public assistance. Not all states originally agreed to the program, with Arizona becoming the last to sign on in 1982. The Children’s Health Insurance Program greatly expanded coverage in 1997. In New Jersey, the state’s Medicaid-supported insurance program is New Jersey FamilyCare.
Theexpanded Medicaid as one of the two principal means of insuring more Americans. The second is the or exchange.
Under Medicaid expansion, all citizens who earn less than 138 percent of the poverty line, which is currently $15,856, are eligible for the program. While the ACA originally mandated the expansion, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down this provision in 2012, while upholding the rest of federal healthcare reform. Chief Justice John Roberts decided that each state would decide on expansion for itself.
In February 2013, Gov. Chris Christie became the eighth Republican governor to support expansion when he announced his decision in his budget address. Christie spent eight months mulling the merits of expansion, against a backdrop of conservative Republican governors opposing it and all other aspects of the ACA. The expansion went into effect on January 1, 2014.
The federal government will pay for 100 percent of the Medicaid costs for the newly eligible population from 2014 to 2016. This contribution will be scaled down to 90 percent by 2020, with the state government paying for 10 percent. A Rutgers Center of State Health Policy report estimates that this funding will now cover 234,000 more people in the state. This included 104,000 who are newly eligible for Medicaid and 60,000 who currently receive FamilyCare but will have a larger share of their costs picked up by the federal government.
In addition, Christie said the state would save $227 million in just the first six months of the expansion. This includes savings that will accrue thanks to the feds picking up more of the healthcare costs of inmates.
Advocates for expanding healthcare access have hailed the ACA, along with Christie's decision to participate in Medicaid expansion. They say that many residents are eligible for health insurance for the first time in their lives.
Newly eligible individuals are expected to enroll through county human services agencies, as well as with the help of healthcare providers and “navigators.” The navigator organizations are funded through the ACA and are responsible for reaching out to groups that aren’t insured.
On the federal marketplace website, a single application is supposed to determine if residents are eligible for Medicaid or for receiving federal subsidies. The system got off to a rocky start, when the federal government provided files for more than 25,000 residents that weren’t compatible with the state's software. However, state and federal officials said the problem was being resolved in early January 2014. | <urn:uuid:5d235699-4b9c-43bb-a6dc-dcf7a86de859> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/14/01/14/explainer-working-through-the-details-of-medicaid-expansion/ | 2017-02-21T07:25:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170696.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00139-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959589 | 605 |
On the Wings of Phoenix Rising gives us an awe-inspiring glimpse into the delight of Existence, the Joy of the Cosmos. The author, Yuan Miao, also reveals how, as a very small child, she almost unknowingly and even casually accepted her spiritual life-mission directly from Guanyin. Perhaps most sobering of all is to read first-hand the heartbreaking price she had to pay, over and over, for personal access to some of life’s deepest mysteries.
“Come with an empty vase and read this book for two important reasons. One is that you will never forget the story of this beautiful Chinese woman who had it all, lost it all, and found her true self in ways both surprisingly mystical and breathtakingly true.

How to fix a Hiatal hernia naturally by changes in diet
A hiatal hernia is the ascending protrusion of the stomach towards the opening of the diaphragm where the oesophagus meets the upper part of the stomach. The stomach is usually located in the abdomen and below the diaphragm, but in the case of a hiatal hernia, part of the stomach rises and is placed above the diaphragm. Surgery is usually not necessary to correct this condition unless it is serious, and natural cures, such as adjustments in diet, are common remedies.
Causes, symptoms, diagnosis
Hiatal hernias are caused by a weakness in the muscle tissue at the opening of the diaphragm where the oesophagus meets the stomach. This weakness can be a result of abdominal tension caused by lifting heavy loads, being constipated, vomiting, coughing, being pregnant or due to congenital weakness. Symptoms include gastroesophageal reflux, heartburn, frequent belching and chest pain.
The condition can easily be diagnosed with ACIDIM and XEMBRAN which works by reducing the acid in the stomach and helps in digestion of food. XEMBRAN stops the growth as well as kills the H pylori bacteria in the stomach which is the major cause of a Hiatal hernia.
Hiatal Hernia Natural Treatment: The most effective way to hiatal hernia natural treatment is by natural means that include changes in diet and reduction in food portions.
- One of the first natural remedies among the most effective and most important comes from food. This is particularly effective for regulating typical refluxes among the symptoms of the disorder. For this reason, should be avoided – or at least to be consumed with much moderation – fat-rich foods and still caffeine, tomatoes, chocolate, mint, carbonated drinks, but also bad habits such as smoking and alcohol. On the contrary, instead, indicated thanks to their absorption capacity are crackers and bread and still fruits like apricots, berries, medlars, mangoes but also vegetables like yellow squash and asparagus and sweet potatoes.
- It is equally important that meals are more frequent but less abundant, chewing slowly and allowing at least a couple of hours to pass before going to bed.
- Doctors also recommend eating portions of smaller meals more often instead of consuming large portions that fill the stomach. They also recommend not leaning or lying down after eating to prevent gastroesophageal flow (which occurs when stomach contents have retrograde flow into the oesophagus). It is also recommended to lose weight, as well as stop smoking since coughing can aggravate the condition.
- Experts suggest reducing the consumption of acidic and flavoured foods, as well as chocolate and beverages that contain caffeine. It also suggests having a diet high in fibre and drinking enough fluids to avoid constipation, which is one of the potential causes of the condition.
- Blueberry and raspberry juice can be used to help digestion, to be consumed before main meals, in which drops of papaya fluid can be diluted.
- If the mint is good among the foods to avoid or at least to limit, this can be used in leaves on cooked or raw side dishes to facilitate digestion or in the form of essential oil, which can be added to a teaspoon of lavender honey and consumed always before the main meals.
- Among the herbal remedies you can count on lemon balm: this, in addition to its relaxing properties, turns out to be effective to aid digestion. The same is also true of passion flower and of course for chamomile. To counteract the excess air accumulated in the stomach you can resort to charcoal, to be taken away from meals and especially, before taking it, ask for a medical consultation if you take certain medications as it may inhibit the effect of the latter.
- Also effective are drops of yarrow or artemisia: both to be diluted in two tablespoons of a juice and to be taken always before meals.
- Obviously, these remedies are not to be taken totally literally, especially if you want to resort to do-it-yourself treatments: to avoid worsening of your condition it is always advisable to contact your doctor first or, even better, a specialized person (precisely the gastroenterologist) who, after evaluating condition with the appropriate examinations, can advise or not proceed with the intake of natural remedies or, instead, a purely pharmacological treatment. | <urn:uuid:e9cb269b-d90c-44b2-ad42-0a3349bf777a> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://isitvivid.com/how-to-fix-a-hiatal-hernia-naturally-by-changes-in-diet/ | 2018-12-11T07:20:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376823588.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20181211061718-20181211083218-00409.warc.gz | en | 0.952135 | 925 |

Pet insurance for cats comes with many standard and optional features. When requesting a cat insurance quote, clarify which features are included. You may be pleasantly surprised to learn about the kinds of protection that come with cat insurance. UK pet owners like to be financially prepared for unexpected mishaps-in response insurers endeavour to provide a variety of useful cover and services. Despite the sophistication of policies, it is still possible to obtain cheap cat insurance.
Complementary and Alternative Treatments
The most important aspect of a policy is essentially cat health insurance. This covers basic vet services, treatments, medications, and often some complementary or alternative care as well. Each policy is worded differently-so talk to the insurer, if complementary care is important to you.
Lump Sum Death Benefit
Should a cat die from an illness or injury before age 10 or 11, this type of provision will pay an amount based on the purchase price up to a specific limit, such as £ 250 or £ 750.
When Your Pet Goes Missing
If your cat should wander off or is "kidnapped", you'll want to be able to post an ad. Pet cat insurance often pays up to £ 250 or £ 750 for the cost of local advertising and a reasonable reward. In the sad event that the search is unsuccessful, a policy may offer a lump sum up to a specified limit.
Emergency Cattery Fees
If you or a family member is hospitalized for more than four days, it may be difficult to look after your cat. A policy can cover boarding fees up to a specified limit, such as £ 250 or £ 1,000.
Holiday Cancellation Costs
Your cat has an accident or illness which requires emergency surgery, just when the family is ready to leave for a holiday trip. You face not only vet bills, but also the cost of cancelling the trip. If the surgery is scheduled within 7 days of the planned leaving date, the policy may cover cancellation costs.
Overseas Travel Benefits
If you like to travel overseas with your pet, enquire about travel benefits such as:
- Vet services abroad
- Quarantine costs when your pet falls ill or its microchip fails
- Replacement costs for a lost pet passport
- Cost of a repeat tick or worming treatment required due to delays
- Accommodation and travel costs due to travel delays.
Pet insurance often comes with one or more helpline features. The following types of services can be very handy:
- 24-hour vet nurse helpline
- Bereavement counselling helpline
- Pet minder call centre that helps find a registered minder
- Legal helpline
- Vet directory line for finding vet services abroad.
Enrolment and Payment Features
If expense is a concern, a cheap cat insurance plan is certainly possible, especially when a discount is offered. For enrolling online you can obtain 10 to 20% off the regular rate. For those who have more than one cat, the need for economy is recognized by many insurers who offer a lower rate.
You may pay an annual premium or opt for 12 equal monthly payments, with or without a small administration fee. Enrolment is uncomplicated-either online or over the phone. If knowing exactly what a policy covers is important, look for an easy-to-read policy summary online. | <urn:uuid:5780aa10-ef96-4329-8635-f309c61912a0> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://insurance7day.com/cheap-cat-insurance-features/ | 2017-10-17T18:56:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822480.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017181947-20171017201947-00428.warc.gz | en | 0.943004 | 683 |

A new Billy Joe Saunders t-shirt is doing the rounds online at the moment in the WBO champion’s latest bid to wind ‘GGG’ up.
A deadline of last Friday has now been and gone for an apparent deal to be struck between the two champions to secure a middleweight unification bout this summer.
That hasn’t stopped Englishman Billy Joe Saunders continuing his verbal assault on Golovkin since however. In recent days on Twitter he even detailed some of the private negotiations with Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler:
— billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) March 31, 2017
No doubt Billy badly wants the fight if he’s sharing private DM’s and why wouldn’t he? It’s without the biggest fight of his career if it comes off for him.
Particularly following what must have been an incredibly frustrating time this last while due to injury and inactivity.
But the longer and longer this goes on, the less and less likely it looks. Now Saunders has upped the trash talk stakes even more with this latest t-shirt message for Golovkin:
— billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) April 3, 2017
A brave man to be having that type of banter with one of the hardest punchers of the modern era.
Indeed, a variety of call outs of Golovkin have come thick and fast since his recent closely fought battle with Danny Jacobs.
There is a sense among a lot of fight fans from what we’ve seen since that many feel Golovkin could be ever so slightly on the slide. Certainly viewed as more human since the Jacobs fight.
I’m not quite sure I buy that Golovkin is on the slide though. Everyone is allowed to have an off night every now and then, surely.
Furthermore, he wasn’t exactly facing a slouch.
The number two middleweight fighter in the world (Danny Jacobs) in the majority’s opinion before the fight.
Perhaps Jacobs is even viewed as the number one at 160lbs now by some who thought he won following the closely fought battle.
Upon close inspection of watching back the fight recently, I’m still convinced that Golovkin just did enough to win overall.
Whether this Billy Joe Saunders t-shirt stunt evokes any emotion from the usually calm Golovkin and his team remains to be seen. | <urn:uuid:ece1bb41-11c6-4713-a0f3-7e0c34a53400> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | https://www.boxingnewsandviews.com/2017/04/03/billy-joe-saunders-t-shirt/ | 2018-02-23T14:25:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891814787.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20180223134825-20180223154825-00086.warc.gz | en | 0.958388 | 511 |
ONE SURVIVOR SUFFERS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, ON "SURVIVOR: PANAMA -- EXILE ISLAND," THURSDAY, APRIL 20
"Medical Emergency " -- One survivor suffers a medical emergency, on SURVIVOR: PANAMA -- EXILE ISLAND, Thursday, April 20 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
When a medical emergency sends one survivor off the island for treatment, the others are left wondering whether or not the fallen castaway will recover and be able to return to the competition.
A brutally honest Reward Challenge, leaves one castaway particularly hurt by the outcome and another miffed that they weren't chosen to participate in the reward. Can the castaways get along after the challenge or are some tribe members too bitter to forgive and forget? As the lone member of the former La Mina tribe, Terry finds himself without any allies at camp. His only hope is that the constant bickering between the others will continue, although he still has the opportunity to use the Hidden Immunity Idol he found while on Exile Island (which some tribe members doubt he actually has). Tensions run high around camp when Shane questions the strength of his alliance and threatens to turn the game. | <urn:uuid:f8da5f3a-f182-4986-9405-f182e101422c> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,8120.msg113393.html | 2016-02-07T15:24:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701149548.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193909-00079-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926936 | 266 |
Dallan Masterclass Series: the exclusive training and communication tool by Dallan
Hi! At Dallan we have worked hard in these past weeks to create a brand new training and communication tool: the Dallan Masterclass series.
To help you improve the performance of your production systems, and to keep up to date on topics of crucial importance especially today: safety, efficiency, automation and productivity.
These Masterclasses are exclusive and upon invitation only, for maximum 25 persons and each class will last 20 to 30 minutes.
You can apply for the Masterclass series with this form on: https://masterclass.dallan.com/registration/

It was the middle of September I think. Yes, the middle of September, when Marta Usurelu called me and asked me to be a speaker at Biz Magazine‘s BIZ SMS Camp. I accepted not knowing much about what Biz SMS Camp was.
But as I do with most things in life, I confirmed almost on the spot, just for Marta, whom I’ve met last Spring on another one of BIZ Magazine’s conferences. I was a speaker and she was the moderator. Most of the things I do come directly from my instinct. And boy, did I have a good instinct this time!
Da, like o tata veritabila. Tata. Tata!!! Fucking shit, nu stiu sa pun diacritice!
We confirmed again during the first days of December and of course, e-x-a-c-t-l-y l-i-k-e e-v-e-r-y-t-i-m-e, just before attending all the hectic events rushed in that week making me want to cancel a few times.
I’ve never done it – cancelling that is – even though I had 2 hours of sleep per night, at the most. I promised, so I went (except the vanity fair parties, those I’ve missed a few #fortunately). We went! Actually, Claude & Ange came with me because I was really tired and I couldn’t drive. No pity party here, I was just beat (2017 was an extremely good year for my team & I but a very, very tiring one also). We packed the laptops and two outfits (so we thought, thank you Cristi!) and off we went to Predeal.
We arrived the night before my speaking day so we popped up right in the middle of a party. Smoke bombs and ninja outfits included! Cocktail party. A rock party. A party.
I’ve just met a few familiar faces and right in the middle of a ‘how long has it been since we’ve last seen each other’ talks I look around and notice around 100 people, working directly for the brands, agency specialists, traditional media & social media people, everyone seeming to enjoy themselves at the maximum. Like really enjoying themselves. Without any pressure of any kind or judgement. Without fancy outfits. Without cocktails in sparkly glasses. Without socializing artificially. And right then and there, in the middle of so many people I felt somehow liberated. I mean, of course they were judging me; no people, not only fashion people judge, everyone does! But it was a different kind of energy, it was so much less superficial and much more authentic and natural. It was refreshing and tonic.
The Biz SMS camp people & their favorite guilty pleasure: memes.

Anyways, fast forward to the next day, when Cristi (Christophor, Jarty Peny – I’ll gift you my greatest piece of jewelry if you guess why we call him Jarty Peny), our newest #TheMoffice team member forgot to pack my conference outfit – so yes: the drama for wearing the same outfit like the night before with the same people. Yes people, staying in the fashion world for so long comes with marvelous values like this! Which wreck your brain for basically a very unimportant reason.
Some very cool professionals came to say ‘Chapeau’ after my speech and the audience seemed less judgemental #haha when I finished so I think I didn’t blow it. Also, that devious critic of mine, Claude, was also pleased so I must have done something right.
All jokes aside, it was very energising to meet you all. And it gave me great pleasure to share my experience and business values with all of you. It’s great to meet people who share a similar vision about the industry, business & leadership.
Thank you all for your good vibes!

It all started when a group of concerned citizens, law enforcement officers and educators came together in 1976 to create the Youth Service Bureau, a diversion service to keep first-time young offenders from re-offending. Over the past 38 years, the programs have evolved to include youth enrichment and mentoring and family support in addition to early intervention for youth.
Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau youth enrichment and mentoring programs are open to all community youth. They provide opportunities for youth to develop social, leadership, and life skills, meet new friends, and engage in their community. If you are or know a young person in grades 7-12 who needs more healthy relationships, community involvement and relevant learning experiences, these programs are where to find them. There is no referral required to participate in the enrichment and mentoring programs, and most are free of charge. What LAYSB offers is constantly being evaluated and modified according to youth needs.
Current programs include:
• Youth Advisory Board — Groups of student volunteers in the Forest Lake area design and implement community service projects of their choosing.
• Mentoring — Adults are paired with youth on a one-to-one basis.
• Hidden Heroes — This program is a mystery match pen pal program between adult volunteers and youth throughout the school year. Adult’s identity is kept a secret until the reveal party in May.
• Fusion — Students are invited to hang out, play games and participate in small community service projects. This program is held on select days at the North Lakes Academy and Chisago Lakes Middle schools.
• Job Connection — This program is a referral service linking trained youth ages 12-17 looking for work to adults 55+ and/or disabled in the community in need of help with indoor and outdoor chores.

While you were watching Skrillex, Muse or Nas, probably with a poor view of even the monitors and little room to breathe, you missed one hell of a show.
Closing out Coachella's Gobi stage Saturday night was the Dismemberment Plan, a Washington, D.C.-based indie rock band.
The crowd was small –maybe 150 people – but don't let that fool you. The crowd was more energetic and passionate than I've seen at many of the shows both this weekend and last.
They kicked off their second Coachella set with "The City," wasting absolutely no time playing their most well known song.
While the crowd was fully engaged, dancing and yelling to every song, it was hard to keep the noise from the louder headliners from bleeding in at times.
"Did we just do a duet with Skrillex and Nas?" frontman Travis Morrison joked. "It's like the Three Tenors, only a little skinnier."
The set was a great mix of classics and new, with a few tweaks from last week. While I was a bit bummed personal favorites "Gyroscope" and "Following Through" didn't make the cut this week, I was equally happy to hear "Back and Forth" and "OK, Joke's Over."
After praising OutKast's headlining set Friday, the band tore into their last song, "OK, Joke's Over," which morphed into wild cover of "Ms. Jackson."
As the band left the stage, fans stayed in the crowd, screaming and cheering until security pushed everyone out.
"So much better than Nas!" some guy behind me screamed after the set.
The show's only disappointment? No one in the audience could rush on stage during the fan favorite "The Ice of Boston." | <urn:uuid:ad6b3ca7-2a46-4f4e-b32b-55dae681f2e4> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.desertsun.com/story/life/entertainment/music/coachella/2014/04/20/coachella-dismemberment-plan/7940203/?from=global&sessionKey=&autologin= | 2016-05-04T10:03:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860122902.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161522-00006-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981967 | 375 |

I originally intended to make an expandable table. It should transform from tall and narrow, to low and wide. Like when you have a ball of clay and press it flat.
I wanted to use an elaborate and clever mechanism to achieve the expanding effect and experimented with cardboard models as well as computer simulations.
All the solutions I got where way too complicated and not very elegant, so I ended up forming a high table by just stacking several small tables on top of each other, and a low and wide table by placing them next to each other. | <urn:uuid:d2573528-95ef-4f74-95a4-c14dd5dfe160> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.kraeutli.com/index.php/2008/07/05/stacking-nesting-tables/ | 2016-08-30T13:02:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982976866.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200936-00077-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959578 | 111 |

In the Celtic v Man United match. Nakamura. Seriously, perfect free-kick.
He's a player who's in the Celtic line up purely for his set pieces, he's quite useless apart from that!
If only England had a player like that available...
I hope they win now like
And Man United deserve at least a draw. But they'll probably qualify next week anyway.
he didn't touch him.
like, at all.
it was a brilliant free kick, but the diving bastard shouldn't have been give one.
Handball. Harsh, but so was the other one.
this game has got great
He deserved to miss though, Saha has been a cocky bastard tonight.
he is shit. it pains me to watch him.
But he thinks he is better than he is. He's lucky to make the Man United first-team, what with their lack of strikers.
ronaldo? i hate football.
What's the situation and that?
to draw against benfica. if they'd have won/drawn this, they'd have been through
both need a point to qualify. United play Benfica at home. Celtic play Copenhagen away.
celtic have qualified
That's what would have been needed had they drawn the match.
cool, it's like pantomime, but they have.
I actually think Liverpool are going to triumph in Europe yet again, Dirk Kuyt is amazing innit.
make me sick.
Oh hang on, so do Liverpool.
and if you're going to shorten it, say man utd, at least. please.
Who the fuck do you like? Which one do you hate more aswell?
I hate Exeter City more then Man Utd (happy?)
Cut my veins and I bleed green.
I like West Ham. Take Liverpool off your list.
1. Exeter City
2. Man Utd
3. Leeds Utd
5. Luton Town
7. Bristol City
8. Cardiff City
8. Man City
Will we be relegated in your next list...?
about that number now. Can you blame me? Seeing how Roeder did at West Ham, and so far here...
we are too good to go down. I know I'm not supposed to say that, but it really is true.
It is one of the worst Newcastle teams I have seen for years though.
But you went down with 43 points? Last season that was 9 points more than 18th place, and this season is shaping up to be similar.
He has no experience at this level, or any management level. Them, Watford, and Sheffield United are all much worse than us. We will go on a run of form at some stage, it might not come for a while, but it will eventually.
he needs at least 10 shots to get a goal and he was always gonna miss that pen. Saying that it was a shit united performance all round, one eye on sunday me thinks.
I can't wait for all the whiney Man Utd fans to get on here and use their selective memories to complain about refereeing decisions or diving or whatever.
I'm happy though.
did Man Utd lose that game?
celtic were just so bad.
The decision was silly but then Celtic could easily have had a penalty earlier on for the hand in the face thing
Great last 15 minutes anyway
'we' have the uncanny ability to dominate a game without making many decent chances. the few chances we did make were squandered because fucking louis fucking saha decided to have his worst game of the season. wasn't a free kick, but that doesn't matter because we deserved to be punished for fannying around.
absolutely no cutting edge or pace in attacks.
Louis Saha is shit, i could play in that line up and score the same amount of goals, its like andy cole all over again
i'm going to go and compare the premiership and see how well tottenham are doing.
i'm a girl, isn't it? SEXIST.
Girls don't belong in football, it is political correctness gone mad, MAD, M-A-D.
We're not talking about Tottenham :D
And scored one good goal !
one of us...
I won't !
i'll piss on your face
such is the way
i did that once and my friend said "oops, fruedian tit"
hmm, isn't he great.
I would like to point out at this juncture that i am not a celtic fan.

This summer’s most anticipated restaurant is finally ready to open.With tonight’s (Monday, September 21st) soft launch of Cala in Hayes Valley, Mexico superstar chef Gabriela Cámara officially makes her U.S. restaurant debut.
For the next couple of weeks, the restaurant will be open for preview dinners, which will allow the kitchen to fine tune the menu. An official grand opening set for sometime in early October.
In addition to the San Francisco restaurant, Cámara has four restaurants in Mexico, including her Mexico City flagship, Contramar. For more background on Cámara, check out Chronicle staff writer Jonathan Kauffman’s lovely chef profile from earlier this summer here.
As Cámara will be splitting her time between restaurants, she has gathered together a solid crew to run things at Cala.
Former Commonwealth sous-chef Raymond Tamayo, who spent time training at Contramar, will serve as the restaurant’s chef de cuisine. Regina Schauerte, formerly of Blackbird, is on-board as bar manager. (Stay tuned for forthcoming Cala drinks coverage from Lou Bustamante.) Emma Rosenbush, an American whom Cámara met in Mexico and has been invaluable to the chef in navigating her San Francisco entrée, will be the restaurant’s general manager.
As far as the menu, it’s pure Cámara — think seafood-driven Mexican cooking by way of Northern California, and since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are just a few of the menu offerings by way of pretty, pretty pictures.
Sopes playeros with midnight black beans, crema and ricotta salata
Trout tostada with chipotle, avocado and fried leeks
Fresh beans, tomato water, mustard and chia
Halibut ceviche a la Mexicana with avocado
Mixiote of black cod in salsa pibil
Ling cod salpicón with tomatillo and cilantro
Sweet potato cooked in embers with bone marrow salsa negra
Coconut custard, almond toffee, blackberries (left) & prickly pear granita with meringue (right)
Hours to start will be Monday-Saturday from 5 p.m.-midnight.
Stay tuned for more details on Cala’s adjoining taqueria, Tacos Cala. The back-alley space, which opens onto Hickory Street, will specialize sell tacos and house-made tortillas for take-away.

We return to our previously scheduled History of the Justice Society in Other Media, already in progress
There’s still no trailer for Stargirl! What is that? So we’re looking at the JSA’s decidedly disappointing history in Live Action to tide me over.
Smallville: Absolute Justice (2010)
The JSA made their live-action debut in the eleventh episode of Smallville’s ninth season, “Absolute Justice“. It aired as a two hour (with commercials) telefilm and was a suitable introduction to the world’s first superhero team, as well as a nice checkpoint on the show’s evolution to having an overt Justice League.
Chloe Sullivan, the super-hacker known as Watchtower, is confronted in an alley by a man named Slyvester “Star-Spangled Kid” Pemberton. He’s not that uncommon a sight for her, dressed in a colorful costume and wielding a staff with control over light, but he’s killed by an ice-powered assassin before they can really talk.
Watchtower begins investigating his death alongside her allies The Blur (Clark Kent), Green Arrow (Oliver Queen), and Martian Manhunter (John Jones). They discover the secret history of the Justice Society of America – the first team of superhuman vigilantes to unite for the common good, driven into retirement and obscurity by the shadowy government agency Checkmate years ago. The heroes of today will team up with Sly’s ex-teammates Hawkman (Carter Hall) and Dr. Fate (Kent Nelson), as well as his protege Stargirl (Courtney Whitmore) to battle the vengeful Icicle and end his vendetta against the JSA!
The surviving JSA members, Hawkman and Stargirl, would effectively join Watchtower’s network of heroes (the proto Justice League) for the show’s final two seasons. Hawkman would even get a heroic death and team-uniting funeral. The team’s legacy would continue in the Smallville Season 11 comics with the Teen Titans, mentored by the JSA’s Flash Jay Garrick (in memory of Hawkman) and including Stargirl in its membership.
Legends of Tomorrow (2016)
The second season of Legends of Tomorrow regrettably introduced the JSA to the Arrowverse. The first two episodes featured the time-traveling Legends joining forces with the Justice Society of America – consisting of Hourman, Dr. Mid-Nite, Commander Steel (from the All-Star Squadron), Stargirl (typically a modern day member of the team), Obsidian (ditto), and Vixen (traditionally not related to the JSA at all) – to battle the Nazis in the 40s. Together, they prevent the time-traveling Reverse Flash from giving the Nazis a super-soldier and preserve the timeline, albeit at the cost of Hourman’s life.
Despite the team disappearing in the mid-50s, the JSA’s influence was felt throughout the season. Besides being the catalyst for the “Invasion!” crossover mini-series, attracting the Dominators to Earth in the first place, their members dispersed through time from 1956 to safeguard the reality altering Spear of Destiny against the Reverse Flash:
- Stargirl went to Camelot, where she became Merlin and fell in love with King Arthur.
- Commander Steel jumped ahead nine years to work for NASA in the mid-60s, sacrificing his life to help the Legends save the moon landing.
- Dr. Mid-Nite goes to the year 300, loses his powers/has his traditional sight restored, and dies in an episode’s cold open.
- Obsidian wasn’t on that final mission, due to his homosexuality getting him on the government’s bad side. By 1987, he was a happily retired old man who came out of retirement for one last adventure with the Legends.
- Vixen joined the Legends as a series regular for two seasons.
Despite the JSA itself suffered a somewhat lackluster and stupid (Stargirl is Merlin? Really?) showing on LoT, some of its comic book members have done quite well around the Arrowverse:
- The Arrowverse Jay Garrick hails from Earth 3 and, despite bearing no apparent JSA ties, is a fatherly mentor figure to Barry Allen (literally, being a doppelganger of his father).
- Mr. Terrific is a brilliant engineer, hacker, and athlete, making him one of Team Arrow’s longtime utility players.
- The Black Canary legacy, although somewhat needlessly complicated this point, is well represented on Arrow. All the major notes – intelligence agent, world class martial artist, Green Arrow’s (ex) girlfriend, transplant from Earth 2, sonic scream wielder, non-powered brawler, et al – are hit at some point or another by one of the four(!) Canaries that have appeared, and the legacy looks to continue past the show’s finale.
Which brings us to Stargirl, set to debut next year on DC Universe. Very little is known about it at this time, but here goes:
- It will star Stargirl.
- JSA membership will include Starman (the Golden Age Star-Spangled Kid), STRIPE (Stargirl’s step-dad), Hourman, Wildcat, Dr. Mid-Nite.
- The Injustice Society will appear in the form of Sportsmaster, his wife Tigress, and the Dragon King.
- Set photos have spotted what appear to be the Infinity, Inc. versions of Wildcat and Hourman…but that’s just a rumor at this point.
But most importantly, the show is executive produced Geoff Johns. As in the co-creator of Stargirl. As in one of the key figures in reviving the popularity of the JSA in the late 90s. As in the guy who wrote “Absolute Justice”.

I'm amazed how resilient children are. You'd think that having been made homeless a week before the start of the school year, moving house away from your much-beloved next door neighbour-friends and being told that half your toys have been destroyed would be pretty traumatic. A few weeks ago, I was having horrible premonitions of being called to the school guidance counselor's office to be solemnly told that my children were withdrawn, depressed and refusing to speak.
But the boys have been amazing. They've moved on far more quickly than I have, rediscovered toys they haven't played with in years (plus several boxes of Playmobil they got for Christmas which we had all forgotten about) and have busily set about arranging their new house to their best advantage. And they talk in a matter of fact way about 'our broken house' and how we are not going back there. People keep asking me how they are coping - I tell them that there has been remarkably little effect on the kids.
There has been the odd 'moment'. For example when we were at a friend's house and the boys were playing with a bouncy castle that they had inflated in their living room (yes, their house really is that big). They were playing a game where they would inflate, then let the air out - at which point, they would shout : "There's a tree on our house!" I'm sure child pyschologists would have a field day with that one. LB1 has also asked me if would have to pay our old landlady for the old house 'because we wrecked it' (clearly after all those times I told him not to damage the house, because we'd have to pay for things).
And this morning, as we're packing for a weekend away (school being cancelled for the Jewish holidays) they solemnly ask me who is going to look after our new house while we're away. "What if our house gets destroyed while we're away? What about all our stuff? Should we take our backpacks and toys?"
I reassured them in a motherly way: "Of course that's not going to happen. That was a hurricane, and we were very unlucky. We're going to come back and all our things will be exactly where we left them."
What I didn't tell them was that I had been worrying, secretly, about the very same thing..... | <urn:uuid:0fd67fc5-2f00-4f2c-8b04-d753c4cde0d6> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://nappyvalleygirl.blogspot.com/2011/09/kids-are-all-right.html?showComment=1317589121637 | 2015-01-28T20:11:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422119446463.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124171046-00009-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.993886 | 493 |
I hooked a shipping unit to a 500MHz Pentium III notebook and projected a series of PowerPoint presentations, digital photos, and other images onto a 1.27m portable tabletop screen and a highly reflective white wall. I also connected it to a TV tuner and S-VHS VCR to check the quality of the video images it projected - no disappointments.
Several factors enhance the $13,000 Epson's punch, starting with a three-panel LCD that delivers rich, saturated colours. The PowerLite has a native XGA resolution, but it can also resize and display VGA and UXGA resolutions.
Features include an optical zoom lens, a built-in speaker, a 120W bulb and a keystone control for correcting image distortion.
An infrared remote control permits users to adjust brightness, contrast and other variables easily. There is no built-in laser pointer, however, and you can't save custom presets. But this unit's virtues outweigh its shortcomings.
For business travellers who don't mind paying a premium price, the EMP-710 delivers unmatched performance.

It is 500 years since Duke Claudio the Falcon lived his brutal life in Ruffano, Italy. Now, the modern-day town has forgotten its violent history. Its university has a shiny new Commerce and Economics building - but have things really changed?
"[T]our guide Armino Fabbio has returned to his childhood home, now alcoholic and homeless, after the murder of an old family servant. There he finds his brother Aldo, supposedly killed during the war; Aldo in turn believed Armino and their mother had also been killed. Aldo, insane and vicious, undertakes a play about the founder of Ruffano, Duke Claudio, against a backdrop of political unrest and town and gown conflicts. It is a dark, harsh tale of good and evil, with family secrets unearthed amidst incest, murder, rape...this is not light listening. James Callis's reading is very good, with fine pacing and easily distinguishable voices." (Library Journal)

Myriad can use hardware inputs from a PCI1750 to trigger a number of events. The most common application is for hardware inputs to control Cart Players so that they can be remote controlled by buttons on your mixing desk or from other external devices.
In this FAQ, we will look at how to use inputs to a PCI1750 hardware card to start the Cart Players however, the same method would be used for using any hardware inputs in Myriad.
1. Close Myriad on the machine you want to use the hardware inputs on.
2. Ensure that the PCI1750 hardware card is installed correctly and is working. See Topic203-9-1.aspx
3. Ensure that the PCI1750 is wired correctly to your mixing desk (or other external device). See Topic207-9-1.aspx#309 for an example using an Alice Aire2000 mixing desk.
4. Run Myriad Config (Start>Programs>P Squared Myriad>Configuration typically).
5. Click on the Hardware Setup button.
6. Select the PCI1750 for the Card Type (the Hex address will be automatically detected)
7. As we are wanting an input in to Myriad to trigger the Play button on each Cart Player, we are interested in the Input lines to the PCI1750. In this example, we will assume that Input lines 1 - 4 will be connected to the hardware output on the mixing desk and so will be configured to Play Cart Players 1 - 4 accordingly.
8. Tick the 'L' column if your want Myriad to trigger on a hardware Low input. This will depend on the device generating the hardware. In simple terms, you can either have it so it is 'off' and Myriad triggers the Cart Player when the hardware is switched 'on' or you can have it so it is 'on' most of the time and Myriad only reacts when the hardware is switched 'off'. This will be determined by the mixing desk but in general, if it does not work one way, try ticking the 'L' column to 'flip' the logic.Super Tip - You can skip then next 4 steps by selecting the first four Inputs in the Action column and selecting Player Control from the drop down menu. Myriad will automatically fill in the detail for the next 4 steps.
9. Type in a suitable Description for each i.e. Play 1, Play 2 etc.
10. Use the drop down list to select Cart Control in the Action column for each Input (you will see there are a number of other options here which are covered in the Myriad manual).
11. Select a different Cart Player for each input using the drop down list on the Info 1 column i.e. Cart Player 1, Cart Player 2 etc.
12. Select Play using the drop down list in the Info 2 column for each of the inputs.
13. Click on OK to save the changes.
14. Click on File > Exit to close Configuration.
15. Run Myriad and test you remote starts
Tip - If you double click on the Hardware Manager icon in the system tray (an icon with a P Squared logo and some wires down on the bottom right of your start bar by the time) then you can view the hardware inputs in to Myriad to see if it is working. You can also manually trigger hardware inputs from here if you want to test other hardware events.
Also see Topic207-9-1.aspx for how to wire the hardware and Topic203-9-1.aspx for how to install the PCI 1750.
N.B. The same procedure is used to configure Joystick Inputs to trigger Cart Players. See Topic204-9-1.aspx

Actor Jason Segelhas revealed that he's added a new line to his résumé—author.
The How I Met Your Mother star shared during a Q&A following a screening of his 2008 film, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, at the Jacob Burns Film Center in New York on Thursday night that he actually penned a series of three young adult novels based off of a script he originally wrote when he was 21, according to VH1.
But Segel had sold the script for "super cheap" because he "didn't know any better" back then (doh!).
However, the work never went anywhere, and the star said, "As I got more successful, I kept hoping they (film developers) wouldn't realize I was the same Jason Segel as the Jason Segel they bought the script from (before he became famous)." Luckily, they didn't, and eight years later, the funnyman and occasional puppeteer was able to buy the work back for the same price he sold it.
Segel wouldn't dish a lot of deets about the trilogy (no character talk or a title being thrown out there), but he did mention, "It's about kids facing their biggest fears, that's about all I can tell you."
He added that there's currently a "bidding war" between publishing houses and that he expects it to be released later this year. | <urn:uuid:7558d9a4-e7b9-4818-82a3-49fe2fb50a65> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.eonline.com/news/406793/jason-segel-reveals-he-s-written-a-series-of-young-adult-novels | 2015-07-07T11:34:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375099173.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031819-00243-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990029 | 285 |

Heart and Lights, according to press notes, "celebrates the vibrant, infectious energy of New York City as seen through the eyes of two cousins, who discover their grandmother's surprising past by uncovering the secrets of the city she loved."
The production, helmed by Linda Haberman — director and choreographer of Heart and Lights and the Rockettes — will officially open April 3, 2014, for a run through May 4, 2014. Tickets go on sale Oct. 10.
"We are thrilled to present Heart and Lights, an unparalleled new theatrical production for all ages that will share both the excitement and affection people feel about New York City from iconic places to the experiences and memories," said Melissa Ormond, president of MSG Entertainment in a statement. "Through the exceptional vision of Linda Haberman alongside our talented creative and production teams, the scope and scale of this production will push artistic boundaries like never before with state-of-the-art technology, breathtaking puppetry and awe-inspiring scenes. Audiences will also see the Rockettes extraordinary talents and athleticism in some of their most challenging choreography to date."
The production will use "groundbreaking technology that will immerse audiences in the magic of live theatre in a way only Radio City can deliver."
"I have lived in New York City for more than 40 years and Heart and Lights is a love letter to this great city," said director Haberman in a statement "This production has been more than five years in the making. Our goal is to capture the energy and passion of New York and put it on the Great Stage of Radio City.

The hardest part of a home renovation might be finding the right contractor.
Often getting the best one for your home -- the true pro who shows up and delivers quality work on time and on budget -- depends on doing some serious screening before the job starts, says Mike Holmes, professional contractor and host of HGTV's "Holmes on Homes."
And that could be one area where a lot of homeowners fall short. "I don't think people try half as hard as they should," he says.
Too many times, he says, enthusiastic homeowners hire the first person they interview. "They get so excited that they made the commitment (to do the renovation or upgrade), that they forget the job they have in front of them," he says.
"One thing I've learned: It will take you longer to find the right contractor and check out the job, than to do the job," he says.
To make it a little easier, here are seven pro tips for getting the right contractor for your next home addition, upgrade or renovation. | <urn:uuid:6002ce49-35e9-48ea-9a0c-68dae2b8acb8> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.bankrate.com/finance/personal-finance/7-tips-for-hiring-the-best-contractor-1.aspx | 2016-02-14T23:22:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454702039825.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205195359-00309-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974021 | 212 |
As an older Mom to my children I have dreaded the
I have been lucky enough to pull it off so far
the girls and I are in the grocery
they are bouncing around asking me 500 questions
(okay an exaggeration…100 for sure)
I am checking out and the worker asks “ohhhh are they your grandchildren?”
In the span of 2 seconds I thought
feeling sorry for her
feeling relief that it was over, IT had happened
so I laughed and said “no they are all mine”
Now in my defense I’d like to blame it on two things
1. I was being really patient with the girls like a Grandma does
(I rarely have to take them to the grocery since I go on weekends or when they are in school so it is easy to be patient when you don’t have to experience that crazy all the time)
2. the worker was like all of 17, don’t we all look old to kids that age?????
I’ve been MawMaw’d!

The Pappa Ron Pizza Book Blurb Reveal
by Douglas Lindsay - 17:10 on 21 August 2017
As the soon-to-be former President would say, “I’ve had many questions about the new Pereira & Bain books. So many questions, many questions. The best questions. I know many people, the best people, and they ask the best questions.” Which all roughly translates as, I don’t know anyone, and no one has asked me anything about Pereira and Bain.
Now, in response to this overwhelming clamour of demand for more information on my forthcoming Glasgow-based crime series, DouglasLindsay.com, in association with Bastei Luebbe and Pershing Automatic, (No one will ever know your shirt has been blood-stained!TM ,) is pleased to bring you the Pappa Ron Pizza Book Blurb Reveal, for a first taste of the Pereira & Bain universe.
Read the blurb, click on the images to share in the magic, and start getting excited about November.
Revenge is a dish best served... sliced.
The new cold meat option in the sandwich shop isn't chicken, and it isn't pork. It's Kevin Moyes, missing for two weeks, now presumed dead.
The Serious Crime Unit are notified, and the hunt for the macabre butcher takes detectives Aliya Pereira and Marc Bain to the meat-processing factory where the human flesh entered the food chain. They are followed by a media frenzy, with Pereira's boss demanding immediate results. But while the factory is clean and no one is talking, some of the players have gone missing, people are still dying, and the butcher's work is not yet done.
COLD CUTS introduces DI Pereira and DS Bain, Glasgow detectives on the trail of a killer, through a sordid underworld of deceit, vengeance and murder.
Tartan Noir never tasted so delicious.
THE JUDAS FLOWER
When a long-suppressed lust for vengeance meets £130 million, death will follow.
The Necropolis, Glasgow. A man’s body, in the shadow of the city’s ancient cathedral, sits propped against a gravestone. Held upright by a length of rope around his neck, blood weeping from his eyes, killed by a small metal cross hammered into his skull, the blossom of the Judas Tree in his hands.
THE JUDAS FLOWER is the second book in a gripping and realistic new crime series featuring DI Aliya Pereira and DS Marc Bain. Set in a grim, rain-soaked Glasgow, Pereira & Bain find themselves mired in a toxic mix of money, religion and revenge, as they begin the search for the killer of Archie Wilson, recent lottery winner, keeper of secrets, and now, ritualistic murder victim.
Blurb critics might note that another way to write the words “a grim, rain-soaked Glasgow” is, “Glasgow.”

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Activists from Minnesota say what happened this weekend is a reminder that change is needed. The Minnesota Chapter of Moms Demand Action was in Washington D.C. for a national conference on gun safety during the shootings.
Moms Demand Action leader Molly Leutz flew home to Minnesota from Washington D.C.-- after the end of an annual conference on gun safety turned into a massive march Saturday night.
Two-thousand activists were in the streets of the nation's capital showing support for El Paso after news of another mass shooting.
"And in the morning we learn not just Dayton, and not just these tragedies that become one name, but also the hundred people who die every single day in the United States by gun violence," Leutz said.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz spoke of the mass shootings while at an event in St. Paul Sunday.
"Every single one of us knows not 'if' it's 'when' this thing happens again, and that is simply unacceptable," he said.
Leutz says they would like to see universal background checks on every gun purchase, as well as 'red flag laws' allowing police or family members to petition the courts to temporarily remove a firearm from someone. But gun safety reform measures in Minnesota failed to get past a public safety conference committee this spring during the legislative session.
"We can be sad, we can be mad, we can be frustrated-- we can take a break, we can take care of ourselves-- but we will keep showing up," Leutz said.

The expected prescription frame version of Google Glass has become a reality, the company announced on Monday (via the New York Times). Not only that, the rumored partnership with vision insurance provider VSP has come into focus, as well.
Assuming you can get into the Google Glass Explorer program -- which is still the first hurdle -- the second hurdle is ponying up $1,500 for the still-nascent device. For those who need prescription frames, they are $225 on top of the already pricey smartglasses.
These frames are more fashionable than before, with four titanium frame styles -- Bold, Curve, Thin, and Split -- and two new tinted shade styles -- Classic and Edge -- added to the mix. The tinted shades are priced at $150.
Steve Lee, Glass' product director, said that the styles are based on "existing popular trends in the eye care industry." Including the original frame and shade, Google Glass owners will be able to select from up to 40 combinations of colors, frames, and shades.
We think they'll accommodate most people's tastes. Anybody who is familiar with the process of getting [an eyeglasses] prescription filled will be familiar with how you get prescription Glass.
The agreement with VSP could mean access to Glass for more Americans, although anyone who has used VSP to get prescription glasses will now that it doesn't cover "that much" in terms of a frame's cost. Still, it is something.
In addition, these "normal-looking frames" could mean less run-ins with the law -- such as when a Google Glass wearer was interrogated by DHS when he wore them to a film. It could also mean less questions by passersby, and the ability to get into places that might otherwise ban the device over privacy concerns.
What I’ve noticed in public is I get less interaction with people” when wearing Glass with frames. It’s something society’s more accustomed to.
This is all on top of the fact that -- finally -- people who wear glasses can use Google Glass.
In addition to subsidizing part of the cost of Google Glass prescription frames, VSP said that it is working with doctors to ensure that people who own Google Glass will be properly fitted for its use with their eyes and frames.
It's expected that Google will expand Google Glass past the Explorer program in late 2014. | <urn:uuid:79769277-b025-4962-a23f-e34cc33b7a1f> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://www.examiner.com/article/partnership-with-vision-insurer-vsp-brings-google-glass-into-public-focus?cid=rss | 2015-10-04T17:55:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443736675795.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001215755-00244-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949749 | 491 |

Foundry Improves Core Operations
Excal is using RFID to automate the way it manufactures brass and bronze products, thus helping it to improve their consistency and quality.
Jan 21, 2010—Brass and bronze foundry Excal is improving the efficiency and quality of its manufacturing process. The company makes a variety of metal products to order, with thousands of different types of products in various sizes and shapes. One major step in the manufacturing process is the making of cores—used to form cavities in molded brass or bronze products. By employing radio frequency identification, the company can ensure that a core is made correctly, thereby resulting in a higher-quality final product. This, says Mike Baures, Excal's plant manager, better positions the firm to compete with low-priced overseas foundries that can not guarantee such high quality.
Cores are produced by injecting sand and an amine catalyst into molds called core boxes, which are composed of a variety of materials, including wood, urethane or iron. To create a core, a foundry blows sand into a mold, followed by a catalyst—which acts as a glue, holding the sand together—using a "recipe" that includes the amount of sand, amine, pressure and heat. Once the core hardens, the box is disassembled, and the core is removed and placed in another mold used to produce the desired metal object. Molten metal is then poured into that mold, which flows around the core, resulting in a cavity. The heat of the molten metal breaks down the binder in the core, and the core disintegrates into loose sand that can be poured out of the cooled metal.
Palmer Manufacturing, which produces the core-making machines it uses. The result is the new RFID-enabled CoreMaker core blower.
First, a worker bolts a passive 13.56 MHz RFID tag to the bottom of each core box. The tag complies with the ISO 18000-3, ISO 15693 and ISO 14443 standards. Thus far, Excal has been employing just 10 tags, which have been used on a variety of boxes. After its staff gets accustomed to the system, the company plans to expand the system to tag more boxes. Each tag is encoded with a unique ID number that is read when the mold is placed on a workbench that is part of the CoreMaker.
To set up the system, a worker first reads the ID number encoded to a core box's tag, and then inputs the settings for that particular core box into the machine's programmable logic controller (PLC). In that way, says Palmer Manufacturing's CEO, Jack Palmer, "They can figure out the best setting, enter it into that job's recipe and save it. Then it's permanently stored" for that core box.
