Today, as this goes to post, I am about to start the first day of a two-day retreat for the US Federation of Worker Co-operatives board. The last several posts had a lot to do with this event as the Federation enters it sixth year. We have zero turn-over on the board and an opportunity to develop some clear vision and institutional infrastructure this year. It also marks the end of the original five year plan drafted back in Minneapolis in 2004.
Yesterday, I ended my post with this short comment: “Externally, we as a movement, need to create the basis for seeing a syndicalist worker movement as a viable means of managing the economy. We need to use our institutions and our co-operatives to present a true alternative to the dominant paradigm of capitalist and theft of labor. In this regard, we need to turn away from the rather insular Mondragon model and borrow a tactic from a very different guide and trailblazer: Milton Friedman.”
Yes. Milton Friedman has something to teach us. Under his leadership, he corrupted Breton Woods, turned the International Monetary Fund into a tool for economic extremists, destroyed Keynesianism, led the Chinese Communist Party to enroll entrepreneurs and created a thirty-year legacy of expanding the gap between rich and poor. Obviously, I think that his ideas are bankrupt and, to be honest, it would be hard for anyone to show where they have truly succeeded without the force of a military behind them. But, I am not here to discuss Disaster Capitalism. Naomi Klein has already written an incredibly power (and very well documented) book on this topic: The Shock Doctrine. You should add it to your list if you haven’t read it yet. I am more interested in how Friedman managed to expand his teachings from the University of Chicago to take over the world.
Friedman wasn’t interested in mere academic arguments. He believed in direct action. He put his ideas into practice. More importantly, he created plans and ideas. He made himself and his “Chicago Boys” a force in the world by showing up at Congressional sub-committee meetings and countless other functions. He realized something very important. Economic movements cannot relegate themselves to being merely social movements. They must also be political movements. The Fabians understood this as well. Both the Chicago School and the Fabians churned out papers and proposals, attended meetings, and pushed their cause. The result is that when the opportunity struck, they had the ability to act. The Fabians took a long-term evolutionary approach, however, and really only succeeded after their big guns (George Bernard Shaw) had passed away leaving little legacy for the next generation. Friedman, on the other hand, acted quickly. While at first he operated in conjunction with US Foreign Policy and Cold War politics, he quickly understood that creating change at the end of a bayonet could never produce lasting changes (most of this discussion comes from The Shock Doctrine). Of course, I bring Friedman up mostly for the shock value, but he knew how to push his message.
What does this mean for our movement? At the National Worker Bi-Annual Conference held in Berekely last August, Executive Director Melissa Hoover noted that her hope is for worker co-operatives grow to the point that they are no longer considered the “alternative” but the “model”. So, how do we really get there?
In Haiti, after the earthquake, the proposals for rebuilding came from the usual neo-liberal sources with former US President Bill Clinton invoking their anthem: “Don’t let a good disaster go to waste.” In the rebuilding of Haiti, the discussion in the press was about privatizing government controlled businesses and services. Where was the worker co-operative plan for rebuilding the country along a democratic worker friendly economy? Well, it doesn’t exist yet. A couple of years ago, I asked Madison Mayor David Cieslewicz why co-operatives aren’t even mentioned when the city discusses development plans. He said, because you don’t show up.
We need to start creating plans and finding places to implement them. We need to engage our academics and help them become secular missionaries along the lines of our Co-op Priests from yesteryear. In Canada, they have that tradition and are working to put their ideas into practice. Isobel Findlay from the University of Saskatchewan presented work that she did last spring on creating co-operative options for single women. The Canadian Cooperative Association in conjunction with several research partners (led by Sonja Novkovic) are expanding St. Mary’s work on the Co-op Index to the larger community called Measuring the Co-operative Difference. We, as a movement, need to join them and start creating the programs, the plans, the position paper, and the buzz.
- We need to develop “Best Practices” for worker co-operative in the United States that give our movement and identity and common language. Best Practices that combine the co-op identity with the distributist and syndicalist models. Best Practices that support us as workers and create solidarity with our external stakeholders (consumers, family, community).
- We need to develop urban and rural planning guides for using worker co-operatives to meet community needs in a sustainable manner.
- We need to develop a true alternative to neo-liberalism that provides a real plan of economic and environmental sustainability for communities and honoring the labor of the men and women who create the wealth of this country. Plans that generates wealth and distributes it among the people who create it.
- We need to find communities that will work with us to implement our plans and see them to fruition (like Cleveland and the Evergreen Initiative only with a stronger sense of worker control). There are a lot of people doing this now–some are getting paid, a lot are not. The work of John Logue was certainly along this line and we need to continue that.
- We need to create spokespeople for our movement in every major community who can speak a common economic language of worker co-operation and support these ideas at City Council Committees, State Government and even Congressional Subcommittees.
- We need to be able to show up when the disaster strikes with our plan. We need to develop our larger ideas and models so that they are seen as a legitimate challenge to the status quo even without the pedigree of the University of Chicago or the Harvard Business School.
- We can do most of this in bits and chunks, but I fear that has been our path and the result is that we get bits and chunks, we get people re-creating the wheel, and we get into a lot of long, drawn out debates over process and semantics. For all of these reasons, we really need to an institutional structure to help collect and then sift and winnow the ideas. Then we can debate them, take them out for a spin and start creating our “ism”. The other side has a lot of these groups: Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institute.
- We have the UW Center for Co-operatives, which does great work, but they are grant driven and have limitations placed on them as a tax-payer funded entity. We need something for worker co-operatives and for building our model. We need our policy wonks to be able to come together with the time to develop. We need our community organizers and co-op developers to help put those ideas into action. We need our charismatic folks to bring that message to the politicians and get them to start seeing us as a viable alternative. Mostly, we need to create a national definition of ourselves so that others don’t define our movement for us and there are already plenty of people trying to do just that.
Is this were the Democracy at Work Institute should go? How would we create a non-profit worker co-operative institute to further our movement and development along the distributist and syndicalist lines? More importantly how do we fund it so that the institute can actually do more than have phone conferences every quarter?
I’m ending this series of thoughts with a lot more questions than answers. While writing, I took a quick break and went for a walk. While walking, I was reminded that February will mark the 20th anniversary of my first election to the board of Union Cab. At the time, I was still planning on being an English professor. In 1995, as president, I answered a survey on worker co-ops from a Canadian researcher. When I asked him later for results, he said that there weren’t any. It turns out that he couldn’t find enough worker co-ops in the US to conduct valid research. Nine years after that, the first national worker co-op conference was held in Minneapolis and next year, just seven years later, the first North American Worker Co-operative Conference will be held in Quebec City, Quebec. There are almost 300 identified worker co-ops in the US with about 1/3 of them members of the US Federation. We are about to certify the first cohort of Worker Co-op Peer Advisors.
We have the momentum right now, but we need to find a way to channel it. We need to find a way to push our movement to the next level. We have to find a way to help our co-ops educate their members on the co-op difference and, in turn, help create the energy needed to maintain the momentum and extend it. I intend to spend the next thirty years, if I have to, to figure it out and I hope that you join me–and I now I have to go join a meeting.

Tell truth whole, but just halfway:
effect rests on the indirect,
truth, with excessive surprise
shines too strong for a soul half
Lightning explains with a clap,
its clarity simple,
thus must truth shine its light bit by bit

Made myself another Redguard, made her a sellsword
Console-d in a couple of things to follow a small story.

Okay but if you read the article he wasn’t stabbed
he literally walked into the blade thinking it was a toy and not that it was a replica actual sword
HE LITERALLY WALKED INTO MY SWORD OFFICER
"And he just walked right into the point. I don’t know if he thought it was a toy."
and a bit later in the article, this gem:
"The ex-husband was taken to hospital following the altercation, but not before he, in true Zelda fashion, smashed a pot (a flower pot, over the head of Thompson)."
This is how Michael and I are going to die.
I put the Nordic Carved Armor on Vilkas for lolz. Well, almost all of it, the gauntlets were not at Breezehome. But when I first put it on him, I laughed because I thought he looked stupid.
I took it back once I took more screencaps of him in it outside.

This restaurant is silent and nice to watch. It is difficult to find. Prices are clearly more expensive than most restaurants where we visited in Saigon. Taste of food was good, but it was noot excellent. Ideal for a bit more formal dinner. I was surprised that there was only few people
when we was eating.

Respond to Review of Soul Vegetarian East and The Eternity Juice Bar
Review: Updated Review: I was very disappointed to read this article. Normally I re-rate restaurants with 1 cow after seeing a report like this, but Soul Veg was one of my favorites. I'm so disgusted that I doubt I'll be back for a very long time. Please clean your act up Soul Veg. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/12/mice-infestations-close-2-south-side-eateries.html My previous 5 cow review: Review: OMG this is among one of the best places to eat a Vegan meal in Chicago. Now the food here is by no means healthy, but it's damn good and well worth the trek all the way down to 75th street to get it! I love the staff but I got say, the service is slow as molasses here; however, I've been to Soul Vegetarian's all around the country and they're all like this, but whatever, I'll wait for the food. Things I recommend: fried cauliflower (great appetizer!), gyro's (yum yum yum), macaroni and cheese (wow), potato salad (out of this world), BBQ twists, cakes, and of course my favorite... my custom ordered Jerusalem sandwich (replace the ketchup and mustard with lots of the vegan cheese sauce...WOW!). Yes it's 75th street and everyone warned me that it's a bad area, but come on, it's not. I'm a little lady that goes down there by myself - I love the people there staff and the customers!!!.

Since the election in November there has been a tremendous amount of community engagement and a stunning amount of fundraising for specific issues and causes. I know many people who have quit Facebook cold turkey because the posts have become too much. Like many people I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. But I must have a magic algorithm on my Facebook feed, most days when I browse over to Facebook, my feed is filled with people in Pittsburgh and all over the country working on community projects.
There are a lot of folks who have been doing things to make Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh well before the election and they will likely keep working on those things through the next election. One of the things that I like most about writing about Pittsburgh is the opportunity to connect more Pittsburghers to to Pittsburgh places and organizations. There are so many people and organizations that are quietly working to make this city, well, more Pittsburgh.
The goal: Feature 100 People and Organizations working to make Pittsburgh a better place for everyone.
Help us feature 100 different ways to love Pittsburgh. Events, volunteer opportunities, articles, and anything else that helps to connect the neighbors in this city to the people and organizations that are working to make this city a better place.
The idea to build a list of 100 things that people are doing to make Pittsburgh better was inspired by a few things.
- Valentine’s Day – I started thinking about this back in January, but last week’s celebration of love brought this idea back into focus.
- 100 Days of US – After the election, The Sprout Fund launched a program called 100 Days of Us @100daysofus, which invited Pittsburghers to submit ideas for projects for people to act locally. Over 150 ideas where submitted and the community came together to vote on the ideas. Using the community votes the Sprout Fund gave away $120,000 to 27 of these community projects. There were many ideas submitted and there are many other organizations that in Pittsburgh that have stories to share.
- Connecting people to community – Over the past few weeks, and again this morning, I had a conversation with someone who wanted to see a change in their neighborhood but didn’t know where to find help. As soon as they shared the idea, I was surprised they didn’t know about another organization that was already working on something similar.
Help build the list! #100WaystoLovePGH
I have a spreadsheet with a list of organizations and events, but I would love to hear more ideas from all across the city and beyond. What is happening in your neighborhood that others should know about?

Logitech has launched the Craft wireless keyboard at IFA 2017 in Berlin. Aimed toward digital designers and artistic professionals, the peripheral includes a contact-enabled multifunction dial that shortcuts to context-specific instruments in software operating on a COMPUTER or Mac. Beginning on page four-eleven in the HEC-RAS SECOND Guide, there’s an interesting dialogue on the impact of number of processing cores in computations. I recommend giving it a learn. There can be a new chapter in the RAS SECOND guide due out quickly (for model 5.zero.2) that can talk about this matter. So I searched the Web, and located software known as Malwarebytes, which claimed to remove malware, spyware, adware, key loggers, and Trojans that almost all nicely-identified anti-virus programs did not detect.

Blog: Most Cybersecurity Really Isn't
Your network is not secure and your firewalls are blocking nothing. That scary statement was a key message of Dr. Edward Amoroso, chief security officer of AT&T, during his address this morning at the 2012 DISA Mission Partner Conference. "When it comes to cybersecurity we are way out of balance," he stated. He shared that in the last few weeks botnet attacks have seen a dramatic increase, but security professionals cannot confirm which attacks come from two kids in a basement and which might originate from hostile militaries trying to steal specific information. Without that knowledge, the private sector often doesn't know if it should pass collected intelligence to the government. As more and more consumer electronics, including items like refrigerators, become connected to the Internet through IPv6 IP addresses, each one presents an unprotected connection to exploit. Recently, botnets have been found on consumer digital video recorders used for security cameras. Amoroso stated that it is way too easy for someone to break into the network. "We have to do something about it," he added. He illustrated how current cybersecurity methods are not providing adequate protections, but a change in current thinking could provide safer computing. He advocates reducing complexity in favor of placing data in quieter, simpler places. | <urn:uuid:1487be51-efde-499a-8428-67aec2553eab> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.afcea.org/content/?q=2012/05/08/17346 | 2015-08-30T04:09:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644064869.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025424-00099-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966971 | 261 |

Griffon Bleu de Gascogne Breed Maintenance
The Griffon Bleu de Gascogne has a high energy level and is known to get into sticky or dirty situations. They do require brushing a few times each week using a pin brush or natural bristle brush. A metal comb should be used to comb through their beard and eyebrows to remove any tangles or dirt. They are average shedders and will shed heavily seasonally. The Griffon Bleu de Gascogne is not a hypoallergenic breed. They should not be bathed often, usually once every few months is sufficient unless they roll in something unsavory. When bathing, use a shampoo that is mild and suited for a harsher coat. Ear infections can be common in the Griffon Bleu de Gascogne. Their ears should be cleaned once a week and kept dry. Check their nails and clip as needed. Trim the hair between the pads of their feet every few weeks to prevent debris from collecting and causing irritation or lameness. | <urn:uuid:7da0bf72-9218-48e9-9f7d-07f84fde1ff0> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://wagwalking.com/breed/griffon-bleu-de-gascogne | 2021-06-18T11:41:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487636559.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20210618104405-20210618134405-00109.warc.gz | en | 0.944878 | 214 |
A FEW years ago, cupcakes, or fairy cakes as I used to know them, were something you enjoyed occasionally with a cup of tea.
Now, cupcakes have become an industry in their own right; and when you see the cakes from Charlotte's Cupcake House you can understand why people are clamouring for her home-baked goodies.
Debby Wight, owner of Charlotte's Cupcake House, makes some of the most beautiful cupcakes and has now started teaching others how to do them.
I was lucky enough to go along to one of her cake- decorating workshops to see if I could be just a smidgen as good as she is.
The class was held at the Kitchen Sink showrooms, hidden away on Eastbank Street, and the upstairs working kitchens that they use are the ideal location for a class such as this.
Debby only started making cakes two years ago and has been selling them for less than a year, but the business has gone from strength to strength.
Debby has always been interested in arts and crafts and is a seamstress by day, fitting cakes in around making curtains.
In the past two years, she has completed a series of courses to learn the techniques, which she has then made her own through plenty of practice and using her creative side to come up with the ideas for everything from Hello Kitty cakes to Valentine's love birds.
Since starting the classes, Debby has taught several classes covering basic icing techniques and has also started doing Cath Kidston themed cake workshops and advanced classes.
During the Easter holidays, she did workshops for children, and is now thinking of doing wedding themed classes and evening classes to suit everyone's needs.
Debby said: “I haven't been doing this that long compared to some people but I just got the cupcake bug and it has progressed from there.
“When I started the classes, I just thought there was a bit of a market for it and they are proving really popular. There is a waiting list for the children's classes in the summer holidays already.
“Classes are going really well and we all have a really good laugh while learning.
“It's worth it just to see how happy people are when they have made the cakes and they can't believe they have done them."
The All Things Buttercream class that I went on is four hours long and during it Debby teaches you how to use moulds and make shapes such as toadstools and handbags from icing in a relaxed and fun environment. You are then given a box of 12 cakes that Debby has prepared at home, and she teaches you how to pipe the buttercream in different ways.
Whether you go with friends, or on your own, everyone is very friendly and easy-going, and it is incredible to see the end result. While my cakes were nowhere near as good as Debby's, they were a pretty good effort. Four hours with like-minded people, a new skill and 12 cakes to take home. What more could you want from a Saturday afternoon?

'The Crown' May Have Found Its New Princess Margaret For Season 3!
Jan 06, 2018, 01:19
Both she and Colman portrayed the Queen Mum: Colman in films Hyde Park on Hudson and Bonham Carter in the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech. Though there are surely plenty of actors who would love to score the plump part of the queen's husband, it will take someone formidable to hold their own against Colman and Bonham Carter. It's also proven to be a solid ratings hit, with nearly 3 millionNetflix subscribers tuning into the season two premiere within the first three days of its release, according to Nielsen.
Season 2 of The Crown premiered on Netflix on December 8, 2017, and is one of the best series that the streaming platform has to offer.

What do you think about Helena Bonham Carter joining The Crownseason 3?Bonham Carter knows how to play misfits, outsiders, and posh upper-crust dwellers-and a multi-episode arc as Princess Margaret would surely be one of her juiciest roles to date. But as synonymous as Foy, Matt Smith, Kirby, and the others have become with their roles, they have worthy successors.
However, Princess Margaret veers more to the side of the rebellious roles that Carter has occupied before, especially the wild, reckless version played in the early seasons by Kirby.

In October I celebrated turning 40 with an amazing trip to Stockholm. And just by chance, to escape the rain we found ourselves in the wonderful world of the Svenskt Tenn showroom. It was love at first sight for me, the furniture, the fabric, the colours and the style. The showroom is just a feast for the eyes, lots of original Josef Frank art work is on display throughout. Interestingly I learned that Josef Frank designed patterns specifically for wallpaper only and patterns that were for fabric only and never interchanged. As well as selling lots of amazing products, Svenkst Tenn is a working interior design studio and I couldn’t resist a peak inside. The client meeting room was round, and the walls were covered in William Morris’s Willow Boughs wallpaper- I guess it all comes from somewhere!

SLS 3D Printing — Save Time, Money and Space
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is opening new doors for manufacturers and engineers in a great variety of industries. Manufacturing operations both large and small are realizing the benefits of SLS 3D printing in prototyping and small-batch production of functional parts. …
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is opening new doors for manufacturers and engineers in a great variety of industries. Manufacturing operations both large and small are realizing the benefits of SLS 3D printing in prototyping and small-batch production of functional parts.
SLS printing hit the scene in the early ‘90s, but it has historically suffered from availability issues. For a long time, SLS printers were prohibitively expensive machines that required potentially dozens of square metres of factory floor space.
But the technology has developed rapidly in the past years. Today, with compact and affordable benchtop-scale machines — like the Formlabs Fuse 1 — even small-scale manufacturers can harness the productivity and cost-saving advantages of SLS.
In this blog, we’ll explore the basics of SLS 3D printing, the benefits it offers, and which applications SLS is most suitable for. Let’s learn how you can optimise your manufacturing operation — with lasers.
How SLS 3D Printing Works
Like SLA, SLS 3D printing uses a strong laser to solidify the material feedstock. But while SLA works with liquid resin, SLS is a powder-based technology.
The generic term for the process SLS 3D printing uses is powder-bed fusion. It’s suitable for printing with both metals and plastics. However, when used with metal, the technology is known by various other names, such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM), or Selective Laser Melting (SLM).
But whatever the name, the operating principle of the 3D printers remains the same. The powder material is stored in a compartment next to the heated print bed. A roller or a blade swipes across the print bed, distributing a thin layer of powder over it.
The printer’s laser will then trace the shape of the object layer over the powder, fusing and solidifying the material. After the laser has finished its job, the print bed lowers by the height of one layer. This process repeats over and over until the print run is finished.
Once the printer is done, the object inside will require post-processing as it’s still covered in powder. Typically, you’ll remove the entire print chamber and move it to a post-processing station, where you can de-powder, polish, and coat the part if necessary.
Benefits of SLS 3D Printing
SLS 3D printing makes it possible to quickly print highly complex, end-use ready parts at a competitive price. Let’s take a closer look at the advantage of introducing an SLS 3D printer at your workshop.
Unlike many other 3D printing technologies, SLS-printed parts don’t require support structures, since the surrounding powder in the print chamber supports them. This allows you to print complex geometries — like overhangs and interlocking parts — that are impossible for traditional manufacturing. Additionally, you can consolidate multi-part components into a single printed part, saving time and money in assembly.
SLS is one of the fastest 3D printing technologies that can produce end-use ready parts. The lasers of SLS printers scan the print bed very quickly, and the lack of support structures makes post-processing operations simpler.
SLS printers can achieve high productivity by printing multiple parts at once. In fact, the technology encourages you to maximise your throughput. The more parts you can fit in the print chamber, the better they support each other while also minimising material waste.
Competitive Per-Part Cost
SLS printers offer one of the highest ROI rates out of any 3D printing technology. Granted, the initial cost is higher with SLS printers, but the productivity, short lead times, and lower price point of benchtop-sized machines allow you to quickly recover your investment.
Some 3D printing technologies are only suitable for prototyping. Although SLS 3D printing can absolutely create prototypes, it also supports materials that are ready for end users after cleaning. SLS makes it easy for you to shorten your time-to-market and lead times, and to grow your business.
With SLS 3D printers, you can reuse up to 70% of unfused powder. This makes SLS one of the least wasteful manufacturing methods. Not only will powder recycling lower your material costs, you’ll also do a favour for the planet.
SLS 3D Printing Materials
As we already mentioned, SLS 3D printing uses powdered plastic materials as feedstock. The most common SLS materials are:
- Nylon 11
- Nylon 12
- Speciality materials
Different types of Nylon are the most popular material options for SLS 3D printing. Nylon 12 is a versatile general-purpose material that makes it possible to print parts with a high level of detail and dimensional accuracy.
Nylon 11, on the other hand, is more ductile and flexible. It doesn’t produce details quite as sharp as Nylon 12, but it’s an excellent choice for performance parts that are resistant to impacts and general wear and tear.
Some SLS 3D printers are able to print with TPU, or thermoplastic urethane. Like Nylon 11, it provides high flexibility, together with abrasion and impact resistance, making it a good option for both prototyping and functional parts.
There are also many speciality materials, which are often proprietary and formulated to work with specific printers. These include glass- and carbon-filled nylons, castable polystyrene, and other materials intended for specific applications.
SLS 3D Printing Applications
The toughness and impact resistance of parts produced through SLS 3D printing make the technology suitable for a wide range of different applications. From small workshops to large aerospace companies, SLS has something to offer for everyone.
Prototyping and Product Development
SLS 3D printing is a great option for quickly creating durable product prototypes, thanks to its high print speed. In this general application, SLS suits all manufacturing operations, no matter their field.
Small and medium-sized businesses can benefit from SLS’ speed and high throughput to deliver functional and customizable parts with short lead times. The technology is highly suitable for low-volume production of — for example — packaging materials or cases for electronics. It enables small businesses to produce parts on demand, eliminating the need to maintain an extensive inventory.
Tooling and Patterns
With SLS, you can easily produce large quantities of permanent jigs, fixtures, tools, or casting patterns. If you require snaps, clips, or hinged parts, simply use Nylon 11 to print durable parts.
Many automotive manufacturers have adopted SLS 3D printing. The technology can produce both prototypes and test models for automotive design and wind-tunnels tests, and functional car parts, such as gaskets, seals, and hoses.
SLS 3D printing can create parts with highly durability and fire resistance, which are requirement for aerospace hardware. Several aerospace companies use SLS to create components for airplanes and even satellites.
SLS printers are a popular option in medical fields, as Nylon 12 is biocompatible and can be safely sanitized. Hospitals and doctors use SLS 3D printing to create both prototype and functional medical devices, surgical models and tools, and durable prosthetics and orthotics.
Considerations When Choosing SLS 3D Printing
As we’ve learned, SLS is a versatile technology that suits many different applications. However, you should be aware of couple of considerations before you purchase your first SLS printer.
Although it’s not as post-processing intensive as some other 3D printing technologies, SLS printed parts will require a certain level of post-processing. You will have to at least de-powder the parts, and they often also need sanding, coating, or dyeing.
However, you can make post-processing easier with a multi-purpose post-processing station, like AM Efficiency. Not only will these machines carry out several post-processing steps, they will save valuable workshop space.
SLS 3D printing also doesn’t support such an extensive range of material options as some other technologies. This isn’t usually an issue, though, as the available thermoplastic materials will get the job done for the purposes SLS is suitable for. Additionally, manufacturers are constantly researching and developing new material options.
Finally, as we already mentioned briefly, industrial-grade SLS machines can be very expensive. They are professional-grade 3D printers, and the price tags often reflect that.
But, with the introduction of benchtop-sized SLS printers, like Formlabs Fuse 1, SLS 3D printing has become much more affordable. Additionally, you’re likely to see quick ROI due to the excellent productivity and part quality SLS 3D printing provides.

While most of the talk has been around Samsung and Huawei’s newest foldables, the Nubia Alpha is another great showcase of new screen tech that’s making its way to the general consumer. Smartwatches aren’t new, but the Alpha is being touted as a full-fledged smartphone that goes around your wrist. It packs a 960×192 flexible OLED made by Victorinox and can send texts, make calls, and of course, access the internet thanks to eSIM support.
What makes it tick though? Under the hood of the Nubia Alpha is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset. It also comes with 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage, which is enough for roughly 1,000 songs should you load them onto the phone/watch. While designed for wearables, its chipset is actually quite long in the tooth at this point, with a newer Wear 3100 chip that was intended to replace already out since last year. Hopefully, the Alpha’s software is better optimized, because Android Wear was already a bit laggy on the 2100.
Still, the Nubia Alpha is a wearable that should be celebrated. Similar to the foldables that have already come out, it too tries to defy form factors by combining a smartphone and smartwatch into a single device that blurs the lines between both.

This is an expanded collection of photos taken on our day in Chichen Itza. In this gallery I will share photos as I created them and offer added information prior to the photo in most cases.
Entering the Zona under the gaze of El Castillo
Located in the center of the Great Plaza stands the Temple of Kukulkan, also referred to as El Castillo (the castle in Spanish). Dedicated to the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl, this is easily the most famous landmark of Chichén Itzá. The pyramid rises 79 feet (24 meters) above the plaza, plus an additional 20 feet (6 meters) for the temple on top. The base of the pyramid is 181 feet (55.3 meters) on each side. El Castillo represents the Snake Mountain, a mystic place in Maya folklore where creation first occurred. Snake Mountain is a design practice adopted in Teotihuican as well as the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. At Chichen Itza the design is brought to its full artistic maturity.
Perhaps the most iconic of Mayan pyramids, the Temple of Kulkulkan (the Feathered Serpent) was built over a recently discovered cave and cenote. (Read more here.) I appreciated the recent restrictions prohibiting people climbing on the structures, and practiced patience throughout the day to get the cleanest shots of the ruins that I could.
Group of the Thousand Columns & Temple of the Warriors
The Temple of the Warriors is a large stepped pyramid that was named after the surrounding carved columns depicting warriors. This temple is similar to Temple B at the Toltec capital of Tula. The one at Chichen Itza, however is much larger. The Temple of Warriors is approached by a broad stairway with a plain, stepped ramp on either side, each ramp has figures of standard-bearers to hold flags. At the top of the stairway on the temple’s summit sits Chac Mool, a statue depicting a reclining figure supporting itself on its elbows with a bowl or a disk upon its stomach.
Along the south wall of the Temple of Warriors are a series of about 200 columns, prompting the name Plaza of a Thousand Columns. When Chichen Itza was inhabited these would have supported an extensive roof system. The columns are in three distinct sections: a west group, that extends the lines of the front of the Temple of Warriors; a north group, which runs along the south wall of the Temple of Warriors and contains pillars with carvings of soldiers in bas-relief; and a northeast group, which apparently formed a small temple at the southeast corner of the Temple of Warriors.
In and around the Venus Platform and Tzompantli
The Ball Court
Chichen Itza contain no less than 13 ball courts, but the Great Ball Court is by far the most impressive. At 545 by 223 feet (166 x 68 meter) it is the largest ball court in Mesoamerica. The ball court has an I-shaped playing ground and a small temple at either end. To the north stands the North Temple or Temple of the Bearded Man, a small masonry building with detailed bas-relief carvings on the inner walls, including a center figure that has carving under his chin that resembles facial hair. At the south end stand another, much bigger temple, but in ruins.
The Great Ball Court was dedicated in 864 AD and is radically different than any other Mayan ball court, which are smaller and have sloping sided courts. The two vertical walls of the Great Ball Court are 39 feet high (12 meter) high with ringscarved with intertwining serpents in the center of each wall. Both walls are carved with scenes showing teams of ball players. One panel shows a headless player kneeling with blood shooting from his neck, while another player holds the head.
The Sacred Cenote
The Sacred Cenote is a sinkhole that is connected to Chichen Itza by a raised pathway. This large natural well may have given Chichén Itzá (“Well of the Itzáes”) its name. There is a second karst cave in the center of Chichén Itzá that was used as a source of water for Chichén Itzá’s residents. The use of the Sacred Cenote was exclusively ceremonial. Over the years, the murky water has yielded many artifacts including gold, jade, copper, turquoise, obsidian, copal or incense, pottery, rubber, shells and the bones of around 200 people who were thrown in as a sacrifice.
The Tomb of the High Priest is also known as the Ossuary or Osario, meaning burial place.
Reflecting the styles of El Castillo, the Tomb of the High Priest has a combined elements of both Toltec and Puuc influences. The pyramid stands ten meters (30 feet) high and has four staircases leading up to the top temple. Carved feathered serpents adorn the sides if the stairwells and the pillars also reflect the serpent-God. It has stucco reliefs of mythological characters.
In between the two pillars is an entry port 10 meters (36 feet) down via a cut stone shaft to a natural cave. When it was excavated, numerous bones and funeral offerings were found at the cave; shell, copper bells, jade.
The Red House
The Red House is also known as the House of Little Holes; the name was attributed to the holes in the latticework on the roof comb on the top of the structure.
Called the Red House because it contained the famous Mayan red colors when discovered, it is located in a plaza with the House of the Deer and House of Grinding Stones. It rests on a 5 Meter high platform and has simple lines and three Chac masks on the roof comb. Hieroglyphs in one chamber mention rulers of Chichén Itza and Ek’Balam and an inscribed date relating to 869 AD. Some describe blood- letting and other ceremonies.
Very new hieroglyphs reveal the structure was built around AD 800 and 850. It was probably a residential building for the elite.
A small ball court was restored on the structures back wall.
Temple of the Deer
Built in the Terminal Classic Period, the House of the Deer is a badly damaged building showing only a small fraction of its former glory.It was named for the carving of a deer found inside the house when it was first explored. That carving has long since been lost but the name has endured. The buildings consist of three chambers and an alter to the front face. It is 53 feet (16 meters) high including platform and chambers. It is a simple structure with a plain façade. The undecorated roof comb is only partially standing. The House of the Deer was likely a civic or religious structure but certainly with less stature than many of the other ceremonial buildings at Chichen Itza.
The El Caracol “observatory” stands as a monument not only to the architectural skill of the ancient Mayans but also to their surprisingly advanced understanding of the heavens. El Caracol, which means “snail” in Spanish is named after the winding staircase that rounds the interior of the central tower. Dating to around 906 AD, the crumbling viewing tower stands on a large square platform high above its surroundings. From the tower the Mayans could view the sky above the vegetation without any obstruction.
The Nunnery complex is the largest structure in what is called the Late Classic zone (600-950 A.D.), which preceded the Toltec takeover of Chichen Itza. However it also shows some influence of later residence. The building itself is of the Chenes style, which is a local Yucatan style. The main part of the Nunnery consists of a series of vaulted rooms seated on a 33 foot (10 meter) high platform mound. Some of the rooms were abundantly decorated with mural paintings and stone mosaics in the late Puuc style. The doorway lintels have well-preserved carved hieroglyphs referring events that took place around 880 A.D. Later on, another small construction was added as a third floor, completely built in the Maya-Toltec style, for which many Puuc decorated pieces were reused.
The name of the Nunnery (Las Monjas in Spanish) comes from the erroneous interpretation of the first Spanish visitors who, upon seeing the large number of rooms, were reminded of the cells of a monastery. Most archaeologists now believe it was a palace for Maya royalty.
This small building with only one chamber owes its name to its proximity to the so-called “convent” of the Nunnery and to the exuberant decoration on its upper facade, which rises even higher due to its lofty roofcomb. One can observe large areas covered with the original stucco on the Grecian frets of the central panel. Chaac is represented repeatedly on the panels. Up to now, it is not known what the function of this building was, and in spite of the overloaded decoration of the building, it is one of the best architectural examples of the Puuc style in Chichen Itza
And of course the daily reward for a day well spent in the hot: a dip in the cool. A bit overcrowded and developed, but well worth the slalom. Everything you need to know about Ik-kil found in Cenotes of Mexico.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue baseball opens its annual spring break trip by traveling north this year, heading to the Windy City for a three-game series at Illinois-Chicago that should be playable thanks to the artificial field turf surface on the Flames' home field.
First pitch is slated for 5 p.m. Friday, 1:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday (all ET). Fifteenth-year head coach Doug Schreiber will coach his 800th game as the leader of the program this weekend (most likely Saturday). The Boilermakers return home Sunday evening and begin the second half of their spring break trip Tuesday at Cincinnati.
While Chicago may have received even more snow than the Lafayette area earlier this week, the field turf at Les Miller Field makes the surface playable even if significant piles of snow remain outside the walls of the stadium. Purdue also played two games at UIC on the 2009 spring break trip.
Nine Boilers on the weekend travel roster are natives of the Chicagoland area. Returning to their native state this weekend includes: Jack Amaro (Naperville), Eddie De LaRiva (Blue Island), Joe Eichmann (Libertyville), Pat Gannon (Evergreen Park), Patrick Kenney (Gurnee), Mike Lutz (North Barrington), Tim McElroy (Roselle), Jack Picchiotti (Oak Park) and Kyle Wood (Orland Park). Meanwhile, associate head coach Jeff Duncan is a native of Joliet.
Purdue (3-8) has won five straight games against the Flames (3-6) dating back to 2009, outscoring UIC 52-10 while sweeping both ends of a home-and-home series the last two years. However, all four of those games were part of the midweek schedule; both teams have not seen the other's weekend rotation.
The Boilermakers will be looking to snap a six-game losing streak, their longest since beginning the 2008 season 0-9. The 2008 team regrouped and went on finish second in the Big Ten, going 30-15 after finally getting an opportunity to play at home. While the defense has been solid during the current skid -- committing only three errors in the six games -- a lack of clutch hitting and a high number of free passes issued by the pitching staff have been an issue. Purdue is batting only .211 as a team during the six-game losing streak, including a .159 clip (7-for-44) with runners in scoring position. And with the pitchers issuing 41 free passes (34 walks, 7 HBP) while recording only 25 strikeouts in 49 innings pitched, it's pretty evident why the Boilers have been outscored 41-18.
As of March 6, Purdue ranks second in the Big Ten with a .974 fielding percentage thanks in large part to the consistency of Jake Hansen and Sean McHugh on the left side of the field. While being full-time starters at shortstop and third base, respectively, for the first time as Boilers, they have committed a combined one error in 85 defensive chances. Hansen, McHugh and their teammates also endured cold weather last weekend in Birmingham, faring better defensively than Samford did on its home field.
Entering the weekend Illinois-Chicago may have the same number of wins as Purdue, but the Flames' résumé looks better thanks to a season-opening victory at 24th-ranked Texas A&M and a series victory at Santa Clara. Last weekend in Nashville, UIC played No. 2 Vanderbilt tough twice, forcing extra innings in the series finale.
Friday starter Tomas Michelson, who was a high school teammate of Amaro's at Neuqua Valley in Naperville, worked 7 1/3 shutout innings of four-hit ball in the season-opening win at Texas A&M. He also earned the victory in the series opener at Santa Clara. He pitched two innings of one-hit relief against the Boilers last season at Lambert Field, keeping Purdue off the scoreboard despite issuing three walks. Stephen Talbott and McHugh faced the right-hander that day.
Sunday starter Joey Begel's performance highlighted the Flames' extra-inning loss at Vanderbilt. He struck out six and surrendered only three hits over 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball. Ian Lewandowski has been the key man out of the bullpen, giving up just two runs on six hits in 12 2/3 innings over five appearances.
Tyler Detmer (.400, 7 RBI) and Alex Grunewald (3 HR, 7 RBI) have led the way at the plate for UIC early this season. The Flames have been strikeout prone, averaging nine Ks per game. Purdue has also had issues with strikeouts, fanning just under seven times per game.
Robert Ramer has earned three wins against UIC as a midweek starter, giving up five runs over 13 innings while issuing only one walk. Talbott has gone 6-for-11 with four walks and 10 runs scored against the Flames' midweek pitching the last two years.
The Boilermakers are scheduled to play Illinois-Chicago five times this year. The Flames visit Alexander Field for midweek dates on March 19 and April 24. The March 19 date will be the first regular-season game in the history of Alexander Field.
The second half of Purdue's spring break trip features games at Cincinnati and No. 5 Louisville as well as a three-game series at Evansville. | <urn:uuid:c368c753-8ebb-4ddf-8caf-decb43ec2738> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://www.purduesports.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/030713aab.html | 2018-01-21T06:33:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084890314.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20180121060717-20180121080717-00633.warc.gz | en | 0.948618 | 1,340 |

st: I'm making bar charts - can I add vertical CI markers on top of the bars?
Ive created a bar chart with the command below and Ive added values on top
of the bars with the "blabel" option.
Is it possible to mark a 95% confidence interval at the top of the bar
instead of the value of the bar?
Perhaps marking the CI with a small vertical line if possible. This is used
everywhere, but I'm not sure if Stata will do it.
graph bar varname, ///

I'm using Stata Intercooled 8. Thanks for any help.

Time to Buy a New Car? You Need to Read This First
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a new car — whether that car is brand new or just new to you. But along with that lovely smell comes a sometimes not-so-lovely experience with the dealership’s finance-and-insurance department.
You might have to sit in a stuffy office for what seems like weeks while you undergo credit checks and other not-so-fun stuff to determine if you’re worthy of a car loan.
And once you have an idea of the loan you can expect, you then have to negotiate with the F&I manager to get the best deal based on your credit.
Seriously, buying a car can be exhausting and stressful. It’s no wonder so many people put it off and continue driving their old and increasingly crappy rides.
If you’re in the market for a new ride, make sure you’re prepared for the financial stuff beforehand. Here’s what you need to know.
Determine Your Budget
Before you set foot inside a dealership, you need to know how much you can afford to spend on your new car.
DMV.org explains that a good rule of thumb is to spend no more than 15% of your monthly income on your car payment. And even that depends on how many other expenses you have per month. If you’re still paying off student loans or trying to launch your emergency savings, you’re better off spending less than 15% of your income on a car.
Your monthly payment will be lower if you can afford to shell out a large down payment. DMV.org reports you’re also more likely to get a good interest rate if you make a larger down payment.
The other thing you’ll need to know is your credit score. According to Bankrate.com, borrowers with a credit score is between 781 and 850 get an average annual percentage rate of 2.6% on their new-car loan. If they go used, they can expect an average rate of 3.4%.
As you might expect, that percentage increases with a lower credit score. The average buyer with a 661 to 780 credit score can expect a rate around 3.59% on a new-car loan. That average rate increases to 6.39% with a 601 to 660 credit score, and to 13.53% with a 300 to 500 credit score.
Once you know your budget and credit score, it’s time to contact your bank about loan options. While you might be able to get a better deal from the dealership’s F&I office, having a preapproval letter from your bank will help expedite the process of buying your car, since you’ll better understand what you can afford and what you’re looking for. This also gives you the upper hand because you can negotiate the car’s price as a cash buyer and have ammunition to help negotiate your loan.
Documents You’ll Need
By now, you probably know how much you can spend on your next car, and you might even have your eye on a specific vehicle. But what should you bring with you when you visit the dealership? Lending Tree lists five documents you need to have with you if you’re ready to drive home in a new car.
Proof of Income
That could be as simple as pay stubs from your employer or tax returns if you’re self-employed. Generally speaking, it’s better to be overprepared than underprepared, so if you think you might need it, bring it with you.
Credit and Banking History
If you have any documentation about your credit or banking history, bring that with you The dealership will run your credit before looking into your loan options, but these documents
can be helpful when filling out paperwork or as proof to the bank. This includes credit card statements, lease or mortgage agreements, bank statements and alimony or child support records.
Proof of Residence
The bank sometimes needs to verify you live where you claim you do, so bring some proof of residence. This can be a bill, bank statement or other form of mail that includes your address. It needs to be current, so stick with documents sent within the last month.
It’s 2017, so there’s a good chance you know exactly what vehicle you want before you even step into the dealership. Between google searches, reading reviews and checking out prices, today’s buyers are more aware than ever when it comes to knowing what they want.
Write down all the important information about the vehicle you want, such as purchase price, vehicle identification number and stock number, and bring it with you. You can usually find this information on the dealership’s website.
Proof of Insurance
Finally, you need to prove you have car insurance before driving away in your new car. You can contact your insurance company from the dealership and let them know about your new car purchase — you can likely even get proof of insurance instantly using your insurance company’s app.
Terms You Should Know
Dealerships and their F&I offices are full of confusing acronyms and terms that you probably don’t hear in everyday life. Here are a few of the most common ones you’ll encounter:
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price
This is the price that the automaker determines for the vehicle. The dealership’s price could be more or less than MSRP, depending on the level of demand for the model and any special offers from the manufacturer or the dealer.
The sticker price of a car refers to the price that appears on a new car’s window sticker, which also referred to as the Monroney sticker. Federal law requires all new cars to have this sticker, which lists the car’s base MSRP, the price of any installed options, the destination charge and the fuel economy rating of the car.
You may also find an addendum sticker near the Monroney, which could include any dealer-added options or pricing adjustments due to demand.
A car’s invoice price refers to the amount the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. Invoice price includes the destination charge, which is typically excluded from MSRP. Note that the invoice price might not reflect the actual price the dealer paid; manufacturers often give dealers rebates and other incentives not reflected by the invoice price.
This is the price the manufacturer has set to cover the cost to ship the vehicle from the factory to the dealership. You can usually find this information in the disclaimers on the manufacturer’s website. Add this charge to the MSRP to figure out the total pre-tax amount you’ll pay for the car.
Annual Percentage Rate
APR is the amount it costs you to borrow money from a lender. This number includes the interest rate and any fees associated with lending you money for the life of the loan. As previously mentioned, your APR will likely be higher if you have bad credit and lower if you have good credit.
Chances are your F&I manager will try to talk you into buying an extended warranty. They’ll probably make it seem like a fantastic idea, but it can drive up your monthly payment and might not be in your best interest.
My husband got one for his car, which we bought a few years back, but we never used it, so I declined it when we bought my car last year. It’s completely up to you whether you opt for the extended warranty or not. New cars come with factory warranties, but these extended plans can give you peace of mind if you plan to hang onto the car for a while.
This is an important one to know, especially if you expect to pay off your loan early. For example, I want to get my loan paid off as quickly as possible, so I throw any extra money I can at it, including tax returns, bonuses or money I make freelancing.
But some lenders charge you for doing this. Be sure to ask your dealer if the loan they’re proposing includes this penalty. If so, consider using another lender if this might be an issue for you.
The trade-in value is the amount the dealer will give you for trading in your current car. You can use this amount to put toward your new car as a down payment. Keep in mind, though, if your car has a loan on it, the dealer will send the payoff amount to the lender and apply the difference to your new car.
If your trade-in car is financed or leased, contact your lender to find out what your payoff amount is before going to the dealer.
Buying a car can be a stressful experience. Rather than winging it when you need to buy a new car, arm yourself with the knowledge you need to make a smart decision. You’ll find the process less intimidating and more enjoyable overall if you know what to expect throughout.

Her favorite and most infuriating was an old Jeep Wrangler that was fun to drive but not so fun to repair. | <urn:uuid:20e5f2fb-71a5-4b66-bbea-520b0ea39472> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/life/financing-a-car/ | 2018-07-23T13:41:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676596463.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20180723125929-20180723145929-00371.warc.gz | en | 0.958201 | 1,926 |

Never mind what the Rangers can be. That part we all have down pat.
We know they can be a relentless forechecking team that “can get offense from different segments of its lineup”:http://www.lohud.com/article/20081113/SPORTS01/811130480/-1/SPORTS. We know they can be gritty enough to be an unpleasant opponent. We know Michal Rozsival can actually shoot the puck.
What we don’t know, and probably won’t know for some time, is if the Rangers can be that team over any sustained period of time.
What makes hockey so endlessly intriguing to me is how a team can be so good one night, and so disjointed the next. It’s obviously up to players and coaches to ensure a level of consistency. But let’s not forget there is another team out there that is intent on knocking it opponent out of sync. I’m as guilty as anyone else of thinking that the Rangers win and lose games on their own, as if the guys in the other jerseys are just extras who get paid by the hour.
But the reality is the Rangers have been at their best when they’ve been the proactive team — getting pucks deep, creating chances on the forecheck — and at their worst when they’ve become mere spectators. They were guilty of the latter at the start of each of their last two games, but at least have found a way to snap back to life.
If they can find a way to avoid such dips in their intensity, maybe we can stop talking about what they can be and simply talk about what they are.

The team is off today, and so am I. In between household errands, expenses, and child-rearing, I’m thinking about a rare double session of hockey — first at lunchtime at WSA and then again late tonight. It’s the least I could do after setting a world record for potato chip consumption last night at the Rock.
I’ve already chimed in “once on the naked guy in the ad to the right”:http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/11/12/from-the-rock-gomez-out-against-devils/ (although he appears to be missing right now). On whole, ads are a good thing, so I’m not in a position to complain. But seriously, I’m about a day away from outright nightmares.
Courtesy of Yahoo’s addictive “Puck Daddy blog”:http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy, here’s a video of some Rangers fans and Devils fans stirring it up last night at Rock. We could hear, but not quite see, the ruckus beneath the press box. All this time I thought it was Patrick Rissmiller objecting to his conditioning assignment in Hartford.

Over three weeks ago, Customs and Border Patrol agents arrested an 18-year-old American citizen who was born in Texas, and he was held under the custody of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency until Tuesday.
Francisco Erwin Galicia was traveling with his younger brother from their hometown of Edinburg, Texas up north to the city of Ranger when they reached a CBP checkpoint, their mother told the Dallas Morning News.
Although Galicia, who was born in Dallas, provided the agents with a Texas ID, officers arrested him and his brother (who is undocumented) anyway.
After spending three weeks in CBP custody without access to a phone, Galicia was transferred to an ICE facility on Saturday. He was finally released on Tuesday afternoon, according to his mother.
Claudia Galan, Galicia’s lawyer, told the Morning News she tried to show Galicia’s birth certificate to CBP agents last week, but he remained in custody regardless.
Galicia’s brother, Marlon, signed a voluntary deportation form after being detained for two days because he wanted to be able to talk to his family.
2020 candidate Beto O’Rourke, who served as a Texas congressman, applauded Galicia’s release as “good news” but pointed out that the incident never should’ve happened at all.
This is good news. But Francisco should never have been in custody in the first place—let alone for three weeks. We must demand accountability and we must demand justice. https://t.co/6kDSrxJb3e

Charging five cents for plastic bags is not much of a deterrent to cutting waste in grocery stores and so the Zero Waste Market has stepped up the eco-friendly game. The first of its kind in Canada, the Zero Waste Market will be opening its doors in Vancouver come this fall. It invites people to purchase whatever amounts they need or want by placing it in containers they bring themselves.
The Zero Waste Market was inspired by similar stores already existing internationally. Yet co-founder Brianne Miller says, "We always think it’s kind of funny because people are like, ‘This is such a great idea!’ But this is how our grandparents shopped 100 years ago. So, we’ve kind of come so far from that." When you think about that, sometimes evolution isn't better. | <urn:uuid:8561efa5-7a5e-4d6d-9261-2dafb28b43f2> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-waste-market | 2019-10-23T23:16:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570987836368.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20191023225038-20191024012538-00177.warc.gz | en | 0.970221 | 165 |

How Do You Save or Download pdb file?
I need any pdb file like 119l or morph name: Small G-protein Arf6 with movie. I didn’t find an option to save or download and what software does it need to work on power point presentation to show protein motion.
A small movie is made on the old morph page. This is the easiest option but you can't control the perspective and have limited rendering options. More sophisticated movie making is available on our polyview3D page, administered by Alexey. Both are linked to from the top of the morph page. | <urn:uuid:53c3b77c-2932-421d-baee-9d0db1eb6747> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://faqs.gersteinlab.org/2008/02/how-do-you-save-or-download-pdb-file.html | 2021-03-01T16:28:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362741.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301151825-20210301181825-00097.warc.gz | en | 0.911634 | 131 |

Can’t decide which of HP’s new Chromebooks to buy? The following video, which pits both devices against one another in a performance test, might help you make up your mind.
Both of HP’s recent Chromebooks are great buys in their own right, but the small price differential – a mere $20 – makes deciding whether to plump for a bigger screen (in the 14) or a better screen (in the 11) harder than in previous generations.
In the video excerpt below the performance of both devices is compared. The lighter, smaller Chromebook 11 comes off worse, with the limits of the ARM CPU more than evident when using certain sites, like GMail, Google+ and Twitter (as anyone who has used a Samsung Chromebook, which uses the same chip, can attest to).
But the 14″ isn’t perfect either. It may have a larger screen, but it isn’t as great as that in the 11″ version, which uses an IPS display for vivid, life-like colours and fantastic viewing angles.
But if you’re still holding off buying the run-down might persuade you one way or the other… | <urn:uuid:6fbb91e6-73ec-4f20-bbd8-ec07cf179f99> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.omgchrome.com/hp-chromebook-performance-pitted-against-each-other/ | 2016-06-27T00:28:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783395613.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154955-00079-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.924177 | 243 |
The Eadwine Psalter (Cambridge, Trinity College Library, MS R.17.1), previously known as the Canterbury Psalter, has been called the most ambitious manuscript produced in England in the twelfth century. It has also been called the most extensively decorated 12th-century English manuscript. It was written on calf vellum, and illustrated at Canterbury circa 1155-60, with additions circa 1160-70, and was kept at the Cathedral Priory of Christ Church, Canterbury through most of the Middle Ages. Its unusually large leaves measure approximately 460 x 330 mm.
It is a "trilingual, glossed psalterium triplex," containing
"a calendar, triple Metrical Psalms 90:15-95:2, canticles, two continuous commentaries, two prognostications, a marginal image of Halley's Comet (recorded in 1147), a diagrammatic representation of Christ Church's waterworks, and a full page visual memorialisation of Eadwine. At least 13 scribes appear to have been employed in the construction of this manuscript. Many of these scribes are part of a cohesive programme of matched, or near-matched, hands, making some sections difficult to attribute to one particular scribe" (http://www.le.ac.uk/english/em1060to1220/mss/EM.CTC.R.17.1.htm, accessed 02-16-2014).
The book contains five different versions of the text of the Psalms, three in Latin, one in Old English, and one in Anglo-Norman, with a prologue, a commentary, and a concluding prayer to each Psalm.
During the period of production of the Eadwin Psalter the Utrecht Psalter was in Canterbury, and its complex set of illustrations were copied and adapted for the project. The largest known cycle of prefatory biblical pictorial narrratives of the period was devised and appended as a pictorial preface, and every Psalm, prayer, and Canticle was embellished with fully illuminated initials as well as gold and silver minor initials. The portrait of the monk Eadwine as scribe on folio 283 verso of the Psalter has been called "perhaps the most famous portrait of its kind from medieval Europe." (Gibson et al, 178).
The manuscript was published in black & white facsimile by M. R. James as The Canterbury Psalter (London: Friends of Canterbury Cathedral, 1935). The best overall study of the manuscript is Gibson, Heslop & Pfaff (eds.) The Eadwine Psalter. Text, Image, and Monastic Culture in Twelfth Century Canterbury (1992). (In February 2014 I was pleased to acquire a beautiful copy of this rather splendid small folio volume for only $46.22.) | <urn:uuid:40ac34af-2348-46b6-8b72-d44a2d1557b6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://historyofinformation.com/detail.php?entryid=4487 | 2023-09-27T18:35:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510319.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927171156-20230927201156-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.961412 | 587 |
Today was just as interesting and exciting as the first day although there were some unexpected unfortunate events that happened at the end.
We played quite a few games such as "Drop the egg" and "minefield" and also participated in the high elements. I preferred the high elements and "minefield" as we managed to demonstrate teamwork although it was tough trying to do so as we had to pull the strings to prevent the people up there from falling and we also had to spot them when they were coming down. As for the game "minefield", we had to get into pairs and then blindfold one person and then direct him to the other end with only communicating through words. So, we had a lot of fun trying to tell our pairs where to go and getting the message across.
However at the end of the day when we were back at ISH, we had gotten reprimanded as we had forgotten to show respect when we were at the high elements venue and some of us were playing with the rocks on the floor and just walking around. After today, we had learnt that we must have respect for others around our school, especially the teachers and PSLs. | <urn:uuid:34724d8d-ca7b-433c-b7e8-5ae24ba51dd8> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://sst2014-s107.blogspot.com/2014/01/reflections-for-2nd-day.html | 2018-07-15T21:02:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676588972.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180715203335-20180715223335-00515.warc.gz | en | 0.995885 | 237 |
Ecuador and Mexico will try to avoid relegation to Group II in this Group I playoff that will be held in Guayaquil. The Ecuadorians beat the Mexicans in the only previous occasion that these two teams met in the competition in 2005.
Ecuador has been very close to earning a World Group Playoff spot but it will now battle to stay in Group I. The Ecuadorians gained an early 2-0 lead against Canada that put them only one point away from the playoffs. However, the Canadians reacted and won all the remaining matches without dropping a set and send Ecuador to the first round of the Group I relegation.
Mexico also lost to Canada in the previous round. The Canadians travelled to Mexico with their No. 1 player, Milos Raonic, who won his two singles rubbers and also the doubles in partnership with Vasek Pospisil.
Ecuador reached the World Group in 2010 and was very close to access the playoffs again this year while the Mexicans have not reached the WG since 1997. | <urn:uuid:78a097c5-f844-4022-8f03-949b5bb308bc> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.daviscup.com/en/draws-results/tie/details.aspx?tieId=100016219 | 2016-07-29T19:50:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257831771.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071031-00051-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974739 | 207 |
Last weekend was the Homecoming game. It really didn't feel like homecoming, probably because I wasn't on campus at all and didn't see any of the activities. I had to work in the morning but I got off in time for the game. It was an awesome "free stuff" day, on the way to the game I found $15 on the ground (yes I kept it, there was no way I would have found the owner), when we got to the game our section had free sports backpacks and visors and then at the end of the game I found some pom poms. The game started out amazingly, the team played really well but it slowed down a little bit but we still won! It was lots of fun.
Smiling after our win. I made the matching "game-day headbands." It was while making these headbands that I dropped a piece of felt cover in hot glue on my thumb giving me a nice, large and very painful blister. | <urn:uuid:baecea82-99df-4393-9fe4-5508783e6557> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://hollyberry-rose.blogspot.com/2010/10/homecoming.html | 2017-08-21T02:49:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886107487.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20170821022354-20170821042354-00634.warc.gz | en | 0.992761 | 203 |

She also quoted the founding Director of the ICPSR organization, Warren Miller, who wrote the following in 1989 for the ICPSR's 25th Anniversary Book:
"Ours is a world in which the emphasis on…originality, insight and imagination has at times led to selfish, egocentric and less than civil behavior. The Consortium stands for openness of access to the facts (the data)."

day tourMoving experience
My sister, brother-in-law and myself were most impressed by our tour of The Somme Battlefields. Lea, our guide had such great knowledge and showed so much respect for those soldiers who had lost their lives. It was a very moving experience for us.
2 / 3 day packagehighlight of our holiday
"Your knowledge of the history and events was amazing. I am especially grateful for researching the final days of the life of my great uncle and his final resting place in the Tyne Cot Cemetery, making the occasion of my visit to his grave a moving and memorable one."
" Thank you for an absolutely amazing tour. Lea was very informative and helpful, and Dominic a great driver. I will definitely recommend this tour to friends. Thank you again."Brilliant guides
"Our 2 day tour with Annette and Christian was wonderful. They were brilliant guides with amazing knowledge and were very considerate of my mother who is a not so good with stairs and walking a long way. Mum was only disappointed we didn't choose the 4 day tour."
" My husband, son and myself thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour. Thanks to Sylvestre we were able to locate my great uncle's grave at Authille Military Cemetery which was an absolute highlight of our 7 week holiday. We would unreservedly recommend your company to anyone."Recommending the tour
"I would just like to thank you for the 4 day Battlefields tour we did with Christian & Annette. I saw more on the first day then I though I would see in the 4 days, Christian & Annette do a very good tour. I will be recommending the tour to anyone."
"This is a belated thank you for the tour. Your knowledge of the events on the Western Front was only equalled by the human-scale insights you brought to your commentary. We unreservedly recommend this tour to anyone and especially Aussies"Will never forget
"My clients have just returned from their European Holiday. Suffering from Parkinsons and needing some special attention, they came back absolutely delighted with their experience and couldn't speak highly enough of the way they were treated. The Battlefield tour was one they will never forget.
" Thank you for arranging tour we had a great time learning a lot of history. Would you please thank are guide as she was most professional and full of knowledge giving us an insight into the first world war around Amiens. "Beyond Expectations
"Annette and Christian moved Heaven and Earth to ensure we achieved all we could and we are over the moon as not only did we have a great time but filled in a few Blanks in our Family History including determining a possible last resting place of a great uncle."
We learnt so much
" Our tour guide Lea was a delight. Her knowledge was only surpassed by her professionism and friendly nature. We learnt so much about the Australians involvement on the Western Front. In our 3 weeks holidays, the Battlefield Tour is easily the highlight for all three of us."Knowledgable and welcoming
"I cannot recommend the tour highly enough. Annette and Christian were both extremely knowledgable, welcoming and gracious. They go out of their way to make the tour as personalised as possible and I was able to "visit" the graves of my relations.
For very Australians
Our guide Lea is passionate and passing on her knowledge with great honour and dignity. During the tour I was able to gain a deeper understanding of the horrors faced by the AIF, their achievements. Léa conveyed her knowledge professionally, with emotion in perfect balance."Our trip was fantastic.
"My husband and I had a wonderful battlefields tour with Annette and Christian, it was very moving, emotional and outstanding with Annette's knowledge. The magic of Ieper and surrrounding was just fantastic. The "last Post"in Ieper was a very emotional service."

Workshop Showcase PerformancesApr 12 2013 - Apr 13 2013
Please attend one of the showcase performances on our main stage at 7:30pm on Friday, April 12th and Saturday, April 13th, open to those who’ve donated to the work’s kickstarter video, as well as the general public, with a suggested donation at the door. RSVP at upontheprecipiceRSVP@gmail.com.
Z Space is thrilled to welcome Miranda Jones to a technical residency here for the development of her opera The Precipice. The work originated out of recording sessions at TRI Studios helmed by Bob Weir (of Grateful Dead fame); the work's path from collection of songs, to cabaret musical, to large scale multimedia-opera-in-progress is a fascinating story which is beautifully told on the production’s website.
A genre-defying, highly collaborative spectacular, The Precipice merges multiple forms of storytelling onstage, including aerial silks, acrobatics, puppetry, masks, video projections, and more.
This “dark fairy tale” is a story of “two lonely girls, Iris—destined to be a debutante, and Hippolyta—born into servitude. We follow these two girls as they navigate their friendship in a world that strives to keep them from one another and from their own passion and independence. It is about the walk we each must make along our own Precipices, falling sometimes down into a place of selfishness, weakness, and ego, and sometimes rising up into our place of grace, strength, and kindness.” | <urn:uuid:27ce27df-c8b5-4bf8-81aa-4f4467367da6> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://zspace.org/new-work/the-precipice | 2015-08-02T16:22:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042989142.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002309-00198-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946398 | 339 |

Jim Balsillie might be on the outs, but it looks like his once boastful pet-project — a BlackBerry PlayBook with integrated cellular wireless — is finally coming to fruition. Per CrackBerry‘s forums comes the above snap of the Canadian slate donning a SIM card slot, nary a month after we first spotted the company’s HSPA+ and LTE tablets pass through the FCC. That also lines up nicely with a previously leaked roadmap, promising a summer arrival. Will the mythical 4G-wielding PlayBook ever make it to market? Or like it’s WiMax brother, will it never be given the chance? While you ponder that, more pics await at the source.

Just going through Terrex's Anna chapters checking the grammar and spelling.
I'll bold anything I changed.
Some changes may be unnecessary, Terrex - ignore me if you want to.
Anna One - Chapter One
It all began on a normal summer in Portland, Oregon, on one beautiful morning, when Jack and Jane Wilson said their vows to each other; a promise of life together. They went away on their honeymoon, excited newlyweds, and you know the works. So months later found Jane very pregnant.
It was hard work, being pregnant. The early months were full of nausea and dizziness, to her it still felt like a haze. Now, she was so heavy that standing up was becoming a pain. On one of her more stressful evenings, Jane sat, uncomfortable and irritable. Shehad been trying to ignore the dull throb that seemed to be setting in.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that she felt the wetness of broken water between her thighs, and the first searing pain of labor. She yelled out.
Immediately, Jack was arosen from his sleepy daze. In a flurry of panic that followed this first contraction, Jack gathered things together, found his car keys and rushed Jane to the hospital.
Reaching the hospital, she was wheeled into a room, sweating and nervous. The cold jelly was spread over her swollen belly and the doctor gently swiped the wand over to reveal the small, grainy form that was to be her baby on the screen, the doctors could see no complications likely to occur. She smiled slightly as she remembered she was going to have a girl.
Perhaps it was just the haze of pain, but a dull pulse of fear ran through her veins as the nurse informed her she was going to give birth. It wasn't the fear of giving birth but something more... like the life she was carrying was instilling it in her heart.
The nurses in the operation room told Jane to push and she screamed in response. Her cry was heard "Ahhhh!", she yelled. Then the head became visible, then the babies tiny body and feet.
Soon after, a sweat-soaked, exhausted Jane held the tiny red form of her baby daughter in her arms and named her Anna. Just Anna. No middle or last name. Neither Jack nor Jane truly understood it.
Jane was scared; even as she held this baby that, for all intents and purposes, looked; harmless. She knew this child wasn't normal. A small throb in the back of her head erupted and her vision dimmed for the space of a minute. What she saw in those sixty seconds terrified her so much that she was left speechless.
Anna would fail her classes. She wouldn't like this. She would get mad and tie up her teachers. She would slit their throats...
Even as she thought this in her mind, she shuddered, looking down at her baby. These weren't normal thoughts for a mother, were they? But Jane was frightened of these events that had just unfolded in her head and knew, deep down, that this was more than just in her head.
During her pregnancy she'd always felt a nagging worry. Always felt like the being inside her was too strong, too powerful. And she had voiced her thoughts once that perhaps this pregnancy wasn't for the best. But Jack had told her that she couldn't abort their baby, not after all the time and effort trying.
He would raise his daughter with all the love in the world and let her grow up feeling like a princess. He wanted dreams beyond his own capabilities for her. He could imagine her, all grown up one day, a successful businesswoman, living the beautiful, luxurious life that she deserved. Or perhaps doing something she loved - maybe a hair stylist. Who knew?
Jane wasn't so enthusiastic. She was far from actually. Anna - could she be all those things? The voice of doubt echoed in her head and a sudden anger took hold of her.
"Yeah Jack. That's all you're worried about. You're thinking of your own greed and ambitions. And here I am worrying about her when..." Jane trailed off, uncertain.
"When what?" Jack prodded.
She's going to be an angry child. A scary child.
But she didn't voice that. He'd think she was crazy.
Jack looked at her for a moment, unsure of what she meant. Finally he said, just to calm the waters but not back down: "We’ll see what happens, Jane."
And that fateful day, the daughter that Jack had promised to love completely and the child Jane feared more than anything was born of them. And that was the moment their life was changed forever. Perhaps even the world.
Years passed by and Anna grew to be a five-year-old. You'd think she was the cute type, like all kids that age. But no. Not Anna.
She always wore this sinister look on her face, unlike other children. She never smiled or played nice. No one was ever comfortable around her.
One evening, her mother noticed Anna watching TV, a dark, cold expression playing on her features.
"Are you okay Anna?" her mother asked tentatively, worried her daughter may get angry with her for asking.
Anna just stared straight ahead at the TV, watching the snowfall on the screen. Abruptly, she got up, walked ever so calmly towards the television set, raised her fist and punched it straight through the screen. It smashed to bits, glass flying everywhere, and sparks erupted from the smoking TV set, accompanied by a chorus of crashes and bangs.
Her mother watched, horrified. A panic began to overcome her and she backed away towards the telephone, wondering what she could do, whom she could call. She snatched up the phone quietly, not wanting to alert Anna, and dialed for the police. No tone.
Jane glanced around, wide-eyed with fear, and saw the cord - it was cut. She slowly looked up, her throat dry with fear, into the shining eyes of the thing that was meant to be her daughter.
Anna glared menacingly, flexing the wire cutters in her hands; clearly on display for Jane to see. Her stare was intense and frightening as she began to speak. Jane shuddered.
"Oh, you're not gonna be calling any little policemen over here, Mother dearest. You're not going to call anyone who thinks they can control me," an evil smile spread across Anna's face, "I am your child. So take care of me. Because if you don't, I'm going to take care of you. And trust me, you don't want that. Do you understand?" | <urn:uuid:d652ceee-4483-45b3-b35c-37a65ceb0b6c> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.protagonize.com/work/annas-edits | 2017-04-25T11:57:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917120338.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031200-00406-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990119 | 1,400 |
Nokia Lumia 1020 – Software and Performance
The Nokia Lumia 1020 runs Windows Phone 8, Microsoft’s mobile phone system. There are no Nokia customisations to how the core software feels to use, because they aren’t allowed.
Windows Phone 8 looks and feels similar on an ultra-budget phone as a top-end one like the Lumia 1020. Using them side-by-side, we were struck by how similar the bargain basement Lumia 520 (around £100) and Lumia 1020 (around £480) are in day-to-day performance. There simply isn’t the huge gulf you find with many Android phones. The Lumias are slick across the board.
Even the specs aren’t dramatically different from some lower-end models. The Nokia Lumia 1020 has the same dual-core 1.5GHz Krait MSM8960 as the Lumia 820, although RAM in this phone has been bumped up to 2GB – to aid in the number crunching demanded by camera processing.
The WP Benchmark tool does show that the Lumia 1020 is empically faster than cheaper Nokias, coming out with 217 points against the Lumia 520’s 170, but – bizarrely – the Lumia 520 actually has a more powerful GPU. The Lumia 1020 has a pretty low-end Adreno 225 chip, shared by the ageing Samsung Galaxy S3 and significantly less powerful than the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Nokia Lumia 1020 – Apps and Games
That the Lumia 1020 can get away with packing-in an old graphics processor because the games selection on Windows Phone is poor compared to an iPhone or high-end Android.
The Windows Store is where you get apps for a Windows Phone 8 mobile like the Lumia 1020. And all its premium games are siphoned into an Xbox section – where the games are certified to a high level of quality and win you Xbox Live Achievement points for playing titles. Yep, the same points you’d get from playing an Xbox 360 game.
Virtually all the Xbox section games are worth a look, but there are fewer than 170 of them, they tend to cost a fair bit (most are over £2) and almost all the third-party titles are iPhone ports released a year or more ago on at least one mobile platform, if not several.
There’s fun to be had, but if you’re coming from an Android or iPhone, it’s as depressing gaming landscape.
However, the Lumia 1020 does cover a lot of app basics from the off. Foremost, it has the HERE Suite, a Nokia collection of mapping and GPS apps.
Nokia Drive is an in-car navigation app that’s remarkably good for a freebie. You can download whole countries for use online, there’s turn-by-turn voice navigation and it uses live traffic information to save you a bit of time on your commute. You can pre-program your work commute too. HERE Maps is an alternative to Google Maps that also lets you download maps for offline use.
Like every Windows Phone 8 mobile, the Lumia 1020 is ready to hook up with social networks as soon as it’s switched on. You can input your Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn details, to let the People hub (which also acts as your contacts book) grab all your social updates.
Within Settings you’ll also find support for Outlook, Yahoo!, Hotmail and Google email accounts. It may not have all the apps of its competitors, but it does incorporate a decent number of ‘ground level’ features without needing a trip to an app store.

The leaders of some of NSW’s biggest businesses will today commit to significantly improving mental health in their workplaces.
The senior executives will make the pledge at the NSW Government’s Mentally Healthy Workplaces Summit, which brings together mental health experts, the business sector, government and worker representatives to discuss solutions for mental health issues at work.
Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean said a recent analysis of current workplace mental health initiatives found they delivered strong and positive outcomes for NSW businesses, and for their employees.
“Businesses that invest in workplace mental health promotions can get a return of more than $4 for every $1 invested from reduced absenteeism and better productivity,” he said.
“But with nearly half of all businesses having no measures in place to specifically address mental health in the workplace; it’s clear that we can do more to support employees.
“Work health and safety leadership is driven from the top of an organisation and I commend the CEOs who will today pledge their commitment to improving mental health in their workplaces.”
Minister for Mental Health Tanya Davies said the Mentally Healthy Workplaces Strategy is part of the NSW Government’s comprehensive approach to improving mental health across the state.
“Many employers and indeed their workers may not know how to effectively and appropriately prevent and manage mental health issues in their workplace,” Ms Davies said.
“This summit has helped identify there is significant room for improvement in the workplace to better support people’s mental health. I welcome the commitment from business leaders’ today and look forward to the outcomes of such a collaborative effort.”
The NSW Government aims to release the Mentally Healthy Workplaces Strategy in early 2018.

You can start by turning on your computer and clicking on the “iTunes Store” option on the left column, and wait a little or the store to boot up. Search for TV apps on the “iTune Store” window. The most popular would be netTV, OrbLive, and TVU. It is imperative that you read on these apps, figure the pros and cons, because these TV apps cost more than any other apps.

Once you have decided which app to buy, click “Buy App” and iTunes will ask for your credit card details. Next step is to connect your iPhone to the computer through a USB cable, and wait for the iPhone icon to appear on the left-hand column of the iTunes.

Look for the iPhone symbol once more, and click on it. Go to the “Applications” tab, which will allow you to access all your downloaded apps. The important part is to see whether your newly purchased TV app has a check mark on it or not. If it is checked, you may proceed.

The purpose of the hereby paper is to describe who bears or should bear the role of an educational innovator within the environment of higher education, as well as to emphasize the primary factors of motivation necessary to assume this role, by trying to compare and contrast the motivational scheme of the business innovator with that of the academic innovator. The research focuses on a combination of the individual dimension (individual motivators to be an innovator) and organizational dimension (creation of conditions to perform this role). The paper is an essay that approaches both a theoretical and empirical view, thus trying to define the major groups or organizations currently involved in education restructuring as well as their impact. Moreover, it addresses new groups that should take part of this process and the potential outcomes of their involvement. The main findings of the paper are a clear definition of the educational innovator, which can be used for any of the primary, secondary or post-secondary systems, as well as the current status of the higher education system in Romania and its barriers for innovation. It is true that the process of innovation in the educational environment has become increasingly important within the last two decades. However, the innovative university is still a new field of research, especially taking into account that traditional universities have had no real competition until the burst of technology. Therefore, this paper comes to supplement this field of innovation within the educational environment.

|Justin Slater, 2015 World Crokinole Champion, |
posing with the World Champion signature board.
It seemed like old times for Justin Slater, which seems hard to say for a 22-year-old. Fresh off an NCA Tour victory in early May, and facing a long-time rival in the finals, Justin Slater rekindled the ice cool precision of 2010 to win his second World Crokinole Championship title.
The 17th annual World Crokinole Championship came with great anticipation, that included more crokinole squeezed into shorter day. More importantly, anticipation for the event rose through a couple stories such as CTV’s Marek Sutherland paying a visit, and the intriguing story of a Brooklyn duo that would later become the two crowd favourites despite being newcomers to the WCC. (more on that below)
The doubles preliminary round changed slightly this year with the addition of two more games in the preliminary round, to bring the total to 8. The change was significant enough to see a 3 point difference from 6th to 7th place for the cutoff of the A group playoffs, in what is normally a log-jam. The following teams made it through to the coveted top 6 playoffs:
1. 53 pts, 74 20s - Clare Kuepfer and Nathan Walsh (2nd straight top 6 finish)
2. 52 pts, 80 20s - Ray Beierling and Jason Beierling (3rd straight and 12th overall top 6 finish)
3. 52 pts, 78 20s - Jon Conrad and Tony Snyder (3rd top 6 finish as a team)
4. 50 pts, 64 20s - Rex Johnston and Tom Johnston (3rd top 6 finish)
5. 49 pts, 65 20s - Paul Brubacher and Roy Campbell (1st top 6 finish)
6. 46 pts, 58 20s - Fred Slater and Justin Slater (5th straight and 6th overall top 6 finish)

As mentioned, there was a bit of a gap until the 7th place team of Matt and Dave Brown, who failed to make it their 4th top 6 appearance after earning 43 points through 8 games. Also joining them in the consolation playoffs were Dave Meijer and Kevin Brooks (42 points), Bob and Robert Mader (41), Ray Kappes and Kevin Bechtel (39), Brian Simpson and Roger Vaillancourt (39), and the PEI team of Wilfred Smith and Lawson Lea (39).
Before the doubles playoffs began, the World Championship competitors were introduced to Gregory Pinel, one of the aforementioned Brooklyn duo. He told the story of how, even as a Canadian, he learned about crokinole when he moved to the US. Not only did he quickly find the same passion many of us share for crokinole, he is planning to incorporate it into his ambitious after-school programs that serve students of under-funded schools in the New York area. If you are interested it is highly recommended to read more about his story.
As mentioned by Pinel in his letter, he and partner Tommaso Mazzoni, had their sights set on championship performances. They played great in their first ever WCC tournament, but fell just short of the playoffs with 38 points.

The consolation playoffs were won by Bob and Robert Mader, followed by Dave and Matt Brown and Wilfred Smith and Lawson Lea. In the A group playoffs, Justin and Fred Slater saw their two-year run as World Doubles Champions end as they finished 4th with 21 points. In the crowded finish for the top prize, Rex and Tom Johnston equalled their best ever finish at 3rd place, with 24 points. Also at 24 points, but with a win through the tiebreaker, Ray and Jason Beierling grabbed 2nd.
For the third year in a row, it took 25 points to win the doubles title, which was reclaimed by Jon Conrad and Tony Snyder. Since teaming up in 2012, Conrad/Snyder have won twice and finished 2nd once. The two had played with a few different partners previously, but this win gives Jon Conrad his 4th Doubles title (with Paul Hartman in 2003 and 2005), and Tony Snyder (with Jarmo Puiras in 2004) his 3rd.
After doubles play wrapped up, CrokinoleCentre was able to interview a couple of players for their thoughts on the doubles event.

The competitive singles portion saw 82 players battling for a spot in the top 16 playoffs, along with a few others who had hopes of scoring the most 20s in the preliminary round. The top 3 spots were grabbed by Jon Conrad (67 points out of a possible 80), Ray Beierling (65) and Matt Brown (64). There was decent gap until the crowd appeared to fill out the rest of the top 16. That group included Gregory Pinel, who finished 4th at 58 points. He and Wilfred Smith of PEI were the only 2 non-Ontario players to make the top 16. (For the data we have from the World Crokinole Championships, that may in fact be a record, as previous years had as many as 1 single player from outside of Ontario in the top 16.)

Roger Vaillancourt was the unlucky 17th place finisher. He was involved in a 3-way tie with Ezra Jantzi and Rob Mader at 52 points, but their 20s scores of 74 and 67, beat his score of 54.
Speaking of 20s, the 20s scoring was relatively low in comparison to previous years. In 2014, 6 players scored more than 90 20s in the 10-game preliminary round, meanwhile in 2015 only one player scored more than 90. Justin Slater was the runner-up in this category scoring 88 20s, ahead of Jon Conrad and Ray Kappes at 82 and 81 respectively. But while the field was scoring lower, Ray Beierling was performing just as he had hoped (as indicated in the above interview), earning 116 on his way to a record-extending 5th 20s title.
Also awarded through the preliminary round was the title of Women’s World Crokinole Champion, this year with prizes being given to the top 3 finishers.
Cathy Kuepfer was able to finish 3rd, while Kathy Geris grabbed 2nd place. Beverly Vaillancourt once again came out on top, with 42 points, to claim the title for the 3rd-straight year.
So the play shifted to the top 16 playoffs as players were split into the following pools:
Jon Conrad (2012 and 2013 World Champion)
Matt Brown (2014 4th place finisher)
Justin Slater (2010 Champion, 2012 and 2014 runner-up)
Robert Bonnett (3rd straight top 16 finish)
Paul Brubacher (2011 3rd place finisher)
Jason Beierling (2006 Champion, 2002 runner-up)
Wilfred Smith (PEI champion, first top 16 finish)
Ezra Jantzi (2nd straight top 16 finish)
Raymond Beierling (2011 Champion, 7 top 4 finishes)
Gregory Pinel (first ever WCC appearance)
John Harvey (5th top 16 finish in last 7 years)
Roy Campbell (2nd top 16 finish)
Raymond Kappes (2003 Champion)
Nathan Walsh (2009 runner-up, 2014 3rd)
Rex Johnston (2nd top 16 finish in last 4 years)
Robert Mader (2008 3rd place finisher)
In Pool A, Justin Slater rolled to the top spot, earning 40 points in the 7-game round robin. Robert Bonnett would take the other qualifying spot, barely nudging out Jon Conrad with 33 points to Conrad’s 31.
In Pool B, Ray Beierling also took the top spot by a decent margin with 41 points. Roy Cambell finished second with 36, similarly edging Robert Mader who had 34 points.
So the top 4 was set with a pair of one-time World Champions, and a pair of newcomers to the top 4.
In the first game of the Round of 4 playoffs, Ray Beierling and Justin Slater were dominant, winning 8-0 and 7-1 respectively.
The script changed in game 2, as Roy Campbell beat Ray Beierling 6-2, and Robert Bonnett was deadly in 20 shooting to win 5-3 over Justin Slater.
|Top 4 Playoffs: Roy Campbell faces a relaxed Justin Slater|
The final game of the round pitted Beierling against Slater, who played to an electrifying 5-3 win for Slater, including a perfect round of 8 20s each for Beierling and Slater.
With Slater comfortably into the finals at 15 points, and Beierling at 13, there was a chance for Bonnett and Campbell to narrowly grab the other spot in the final. But the two played to a tight 4-4 draw, setting the 2015 World Crokinole Championship final as Justin Slater against Ray Beierling.
In the 3rd-place game, Roy Campbell used an impressive display of defensive crokinole to beat out Robert Bonnett, winning 6-4, 6-4.
The Slater/Beierling final was a very fitting finish considering the 2014-2015 National Crokinole Association Tour. The two of them not only finished 1st and 2nd in the overall Tour, but they also played in the final of the NCA Finale in St. Jacobs just over a month prior to the Tavistock meeting. Justin Slater had gotten the better of Beierling in both the Tour and the St. Jacobs final, but it was Beierling who had edged out Slater in both the Doubles and 20s competitions earlier in the day.
With that it was hard to tell who had the advantage going into the final. Looking at experience, Slater had the advantage entering his 4th championship final to Beierling’s 2nd. But Beierling’s final record had remained unblemished, while Slater had failed to take home the title both of the last two times he’d made the final. The confidence and mental state of both players had to be intriguing heading into a match with everything on the line.
|Ray Beierling and Justin Slater square off for the title|
The match began easily for Beierling, winning 2 points on his own hammer without any pressure. Slater responded in the best way possible, scoring a perfect round to tie the first game 2-2. Slater carried that momentum into the next round, scoring 20s in his first 5 shots to lead 4-2.
In the fourth round, Slater was exemplifying some great defensive play, but Beierling put the pressure on with a great double-takeout 20 shot. It wouldn’t be enough though as Slater made all of his remaining shots to tie the fourth round, and win the first game 5-3.
|The crowd forms in gathered hush as the |
day reaches the championship finals.
Beierling got off to a good start in the second game, winning 2 points against the hammer after a few Slater errors gave Beierling the chance to pile on the 20s. Slater responded strongly again though, going perfect on his 20 attempts to jump to a 4-2 lead and move within one point of the title.
In the fourth round Slater took an early lead in the 20s, and twice Beierling’s attempts to level the round by scoring a 20 skipped over the hole. An interesting scenario developed late in the round as Beierling had 2 discs on the board, but remained down a 20, and in need of a win rather than a tie in the round. Beierling was left with a nearly impossible shot at the end, needing a long ricochet off of a peg to score a 20 to extend the match.
While he hit the peg he was looking for, the weight on the shot was too much, and Slater had claimed the 2015 World Crokinole Championship title 5-3, 6-2.

Slater reflected on the day as the newly crowned World Crokinole Champion, which must have been a relief after making the finals in 2012 and 2014, but just coming up short.
|A small sample of all of the boards that were in action at|
the 2015 World Crokinole Championship.
So the 17th annual World Crokinole Championship came to a close, in what was a major success in terms of overall registration growth and organizing efficiency, making it perhaps the best run tournament yet. The volunteers that run the event cannot be thanked enough.
And with that comes much expectation for next year and what is to come next for the World Championships and the great game of crokinole. Several visitors from far away promised to make their return again soon, and we look forward to seeing them in 2016.
Until then, the National Crokinole Association continues with the next tournament in New York in August. Meanwhile at CrokinoleCentre, the vow to edit and post the videos from this year’s World Championships in a much more timely manner begins. It will take time, but over the summer months they will become available.
Thank you for all enjoying the 2015 World Crokinole Championship, I look forward to the next one.
To the good times we’ve shared with crokinole, and to many more.

With a decision likely coming soon, Shaedon Sharpe is visiting the Kentucky Wildcats for a second time since June, according to KSR’s Jack Pilgrim.
Sharpe originally took an official visit to Kentucky in June. He got a scholarship offer from the school in December of 2020.
This latest visit is likely an unofficial one, though Sharpe does have an official visit left he can use after canceling his Kansas visit.

The belief is Sharpe will make a decision in the coming weeks, though he is set to meet with NBA G-League officials on Thursday.
Kentucky still holds every Rivals FutureCast and 247 Sports Crystal Ball prediction, as it appears no college is a serious threat to pry him away from John Calipari.
It remains to be seen if the NBA G-League is a real threat after making an offer to Sharpe last week, though it does not appear they are thanks in large part to NIL allowing college players to be paid now, and we’re already seeing it make a major effect.
If this was a recruitment in years past, you have to think Kentucky would be in serious danger of losing the potential No. 1 overall recruit to the pros, as the G-League has recently poached big-name recruits like Jalen Green, Jon Kuminga and Jaden Hardy. Green and Hardy were at one time viewed as Kentucky leans, and Kuminga was another guy Calipari recruited.
If Sharpe picks Kentucky, he’ll be the first recruit ranked No. 1 overall by one recruiting service since Skal Labissiere to rock Kentucky blue. Sharpe is No. 1 at On3 and Rivals, while ESPN and 247 Sports have him ranked No. 6. He’d also be the first Kentucky pledge since Nerlens Noel that was No. 1 in multiple recruiting rankings.
Time for Calipari to finish this one off. | <urn:uuid:4663dd35-f2e6-4a55-98d8-b726a3cfc62f> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.aseaofblue.com/2021/8/30/22649578/shaedon-sharpe-kentucky-wildcats-basketball-recruiting-news-nba-g-league | 2023-04-02T09:37:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296950422.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20230402074255-20230402104255-00735.warc.gz | en | 0.976286 | 429 |
Brillouin Energy has entered into its first international licensing agreement covering three nations. The firm is involved in on-going negotiations for other potential international partners. This makes the second Cold Fusion or Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) Lattice Assisted Nuclear Reaction (LANR) and Brillouin’s Controlled Electron Capture Reaction (CECR) idea to attract commercial interest. The other being the Rossi led effort.
For a first person view of the news pull the YouTube up to 30 minutes and listen to the Robert Godes and Robert George interview.
Brillouin’s CECR starts by introducing hydrogen into a suitable piece of nickel (or other metal with the correct internal geometry). A proprietary electronic pulse generator then creates stress points in the metal where the applied energy is focused into very small spaces. This concentrated energy allows some of the protons in the hydrogen to capture an electron, and thus become a neutron. This step converts a small amount of energy into mass in the neutron.
More pulses both create more neutrons and allow neutrons to combine with some of the hydrogen to form deuterium (a form of hydrogen with both a proton and a neutron in the nucleus). This ‘combination’ step releases energy. The process continues, again, with some neutrons combining with deuterium to form tritium (hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons). This step releases still more energy. The process continues with some neutrons combining with the tritium to form quadrium (hydrogen with one proton and three neutrons). Since quadrium is not stable, it quickly turns into helium in a process that releases more energy than it took to create all the preceding steps.
Brillouin’s power equation is 2.4 units of energy going in and 24 units coming out.
The Brillouin CECR is thought to be quite versatile. The released energy is initially absorbed by the metal element, and then made available as heat. At lower temperatures, this generated heat can be used directly for space heating, hot water and similar applications. Further refinements of the Brillouin Energy system will produce the higher temperatures needed for electrical generation, dry industrial stream and industrial processes.

Using CECR is very light on hydrogen resource demands. The amount of hydrogen in a 8-oz (237 ml) glass of water holds the energy equivalent of the gasoline needed to fill up 7903 Ford Explorers or to power 3279 average homes for a month. The nickel or other metal element acts only as a host and catalyst, and is not consumed.
The CECR is different than the Rossi device that reportedly needs a “catalyst” switch out at about six months of operation.
Big investment money is lining up. Brillouin has raised about $3 million in funding. A “second stage” $20M investment conditional agreement from Sunrise Securities of New York for $20 million is now in place.
The Sunrise deal offers to purchase 15% of Brillouin post-money, conditional on Brillouin moving ahead with and completing successful testing of its CECR at SRI.
The Sunrise folks are also linking the investment to Brillouin striking preliminary agreement to acquire at least one “stranded asset” conventional fuel source small scale (5-10MW) power plant, with existing conventional co-generation equipment, and replacing (retrofitting) the old fuel source with Brillouin’s CECR, together with renewal of an operating power purchase or steam heat contract with an industrial or a utility.
The $20M Sunrise offer would fund full commercial launch of this merchant power supply retrofit business model after successful testing of the CECR called NHB™ at SRI.

Chances are the Brillouin team will get to commercial scale. Key expert affiliates of Sunrise includes a former director of the California Public Utilities Commission independent power division who has already provided potential acquisition candidates, available for negligible cost, with power contracts already in place.
Looks like a done deal. Cold Fusion is almost here. If Brillouin can scale up.
Your humble writer suspects the Brillouin team will scale up and do it in a successful and classy fashion.

The role of probiotics for goats is an aspect of caprine health that is largely overlooked and underutilized. The digestive system of a goat relies on a balance of microbes for it to function properly. Without this proper microbial balance, the digestive system will not function smoothly which in turn will cause other health problems (i.e. Enterotoxaemia, Clostridium, Acidosis ). In order to completely understand the importance of probiotics to caprine health, it is helpful to first understand how a goat’s digestive system works, especially the rumen (the first of their four stomachs).
Ruminant animals, such as goats and cows, have four stomachs. The first and largest stomach is called the rumen; the second is the reticulum; the third is the omasum; the fourth is the abomasum. The rumen is especially fascinating because it contains a host of microbes that are able to digest cellulose fiber. In fact, each mL of ruminal contains billions of bacteria, protozoa, yeasts, and fungi. These microbes are delicately balanced in the rumen and must be maintained in that balance in order for proper digestion to occur. Sudden changes in diet or the use of antibiotics for treatment of an infection can disturb this delicate balance of microbes.
Probiotics can be an important and effective tool in developing and maintaining healthy levels of flora in the rumen. Young goats can benefit from the use of probiotics, particularly at the time of weaning. For the 6-8 weeks of its life, the kid goat is fed a milk diet, with no significant intake of forages or grains. As a result, the microbial levels in the rumen are not properly balanced for the digestion of forages/grains, which will make up its diet after weaning is completed. It is wise to start introducing small amounts of grain and clean straw into the diet two weeks prior to weaning. This is done in order to begin building up the levels of microbes in the rumen. The use of probiotics in this time will aid in establishing the fine balance of microbes in the rumen. This will ease the transition from a milk-fed diet to a forage and grain fed diet.
The use of probiotics for goats is also recommended after antibiotics are used for the treatment of infections. Antibiotics such as penicillin or tetracycline can be necessary for the treatment of infections like mastitis and pneumonia, but they can also negatively affect the populations of microbes in the rumen. This is because antibiotics are indiscriminate in their effect. All bacteria that are sensitive to the active ingredient are killed, including bacteria that are beneficial to the health of the goat. Administering oral probiotics a few hours after the use of antibiotics will help to replenish the beneficial bacteria in the rumen.
We have personally used and would recommend Boviglo from Bio-Ag. They don't have representatives everywhere, but they are available online.
Amazon also carries this great probiotic for ruminants: Probios.
You'll find that your animals will be able to stay healthy and fight sicknesses much better if they are equipped with probiotics.

Printed shirts are one of my favorite summer-style choices. They’re an easy way to be a bit playful with your clothing whether that’s through loud colors or prints you wouldn’t normally wear. And they somehow manage to look good without crossing the line towards being tacky.
What’s more, printed shirts are everywhere. We wrote last year about the onslaught of summer shirts, and this year is no different. In fact, there’s probably an even greater variety of styles, shapes, and prints than ever before.
Printed shirts are pretty easy to wear. They’re usually casual so go well with a wide variety of pieces. Although, as with many statement clothing pieces, a few pointers are always welcome.
In this article, we’ll look at some tips for how to wear printed shirts, and then feast your eyes on some cool styling ideas.
Rules for Wearing Printed Shirts
Here are a few dos and don’ts that can help you tastefully style a printed shirt:
Let your Shirt Steal the Show
The safest bet in styling is to keep only one statement piece in your attire which, in this case, is a printed shirt. Allow your shirt to steal the limelight, and keep your bottoms minimal and neutral.
Avoid Layering Prints
Using two types of prints in an outfit is possible, but it isn’t easy. In most cases, we’d suggest avoiding layering printed shirts.
If you really have to do it, try combining a smaller or subtle print shirt with something that’s more eye-catching on top. This way, you’ll still have only one piece of clothing as the center of focus.
Go Fun, Not Funny
There’s a fine line between a fun yet tasteful print and a shirt that makes you look like a 6-year-old making terribly naff fashion choices.
Printed shirts are inherently flamboyant. You don’t need to go too over the top with your shirt’s print or color choices.
Not Formal Suitable
Printed shirts are usually pretty casual. They’re not typically suited to formal events. As much as fashion has loosened up, some ground rules still require you to stick to the classic dress code for formal occasions.
How to Style a Printed Shirt?
The following outfit styling ideas are a surefire way to turn a lotta heads, so let’s get you sorted for your printed shirts.
Tailored Linen Suit – Say No More
Layer up your printed shirt with a tailored linen suit for a preppy look. Skip the belt and undo a few buttons to give the outfit a casual flair.
This attire works well when you’re aiming for a dressed-up look yet want to keep the cool and spontaneous vibe alive.
Keep the jacket or throw it in the back seat of your car to make the outfit fuse with your day-to-night commitments.
Keep it Cool with Shorts
Pair up a floral shirt with a basic, structured vest. Slip into a pair of raw-hem denim shorts to make the attire crisp yet more on the laidback side. Finish off the look with white sneakers and accessorize as you like.
It’s the little details that matter and this outfit is showcasing exactly that. The white base of the Hawaiian shirt is made to fuse well with the white tank top peeking from underneath and that’s the kind of effort that makes a difference.

Oversized and Printed – Perfect Duo
How easy-going is this classic pairing of a printed shirt with relaxed legged trousers? Minimal prints like these are a great choice for people who shy away from making loud, dramatic choices.
The oversized cut of the shirt is working as a promising complement to the casual expression of the outfit. White sneakers and sunglasses, what’s a better way to top off a summer fit?
Create a Smart Casual Silhouette
A black button-down shirt with green palm accents tucked into a pair of tailored black linen pants is an unusually stylish way to create a modern sleek look.
Putting on a black belt is a classic way to introduce a dressier touch to the equation. Roll the sleeves and loosen up around the collar, and you’ll look trim yet casual.
Print over print is usually not a winning combination but that’s when two prints are irrelevant to each other. Pair up your printed shirt with shorts or relax-fit trousers in the same print for a laidback outfit.
Get Beach Ready
What’s a better place to flaunt a Hawaiian shirt than a seashore? A printed shirt paired with shorts creates a look made for the beach. Match the color of your shorts with the color of the pattern in your shirt to create a cohesive combo. Put on headgear in a matching lighter hue just like this white hat which is really making that beach look come alive.
Layer it up
Layering is the safest way to introduce prints to your outfit, especially if you feel outlandish as you visit the territory of printed clothing. Layer up your printed shirt on top of a basic tee and pair it with casual drawstring trousers. Casual, in your comfort zone, and still making a statement, sounds good and looks even better, doesn’t it?
The Forbidden Combination
Prints on prints can work after all. Take a symmetrical or small print shirt and top it off with a louder piece to create a dynamic look.
Keep your bottoms minimal and basic to neutralize the outfit. Such combinations are a good choice when you’re aiming to create a striking statement and stand out from all. | <urn:uuid:d1a4c7ae-c39f-4b1c-8ad4-3a239fde5905> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.thebrdwlk.com/how-to-wear-printed-shirt-men/ | 2022-12-07T13:02:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711162.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20221207121241-20221207151241-00170.warc.gz | en | 0.932896 | 1,204 |
Pilot episode in 702 Liberty Lane of Seville house... "Yawning! I check on my BMI scale now." My husband Dave Seville woke and got up from his brown bed in his room.
In the bathroom... "It's saying 0.34lb on my BMI scale? I have take a shower then shave my chin now." He noticed on it recently.
After bathing and shaving... "What is this," Dionne? My husband Dave Seville sat down on the tan red stripes leather footstool near the table counterpart in the kitchen. "It's your organic diet kale pudding can keep to lose weight and be healthy now," Dave. His beloved African American mute wife replied to him recently. "I take a bite this. Yuck! It's grossly!?" He tasted his organic diet kale pudding is sour like a lemon. "I take our adopted sons to the school now," Dave. She kissed his cheek recently. "Bye! Sighs. I'm finished to eat this."
Meanwhile in the meeting room At the music studio... "We discuss about our profits," Co-workers. My husband Dave Seville showed it to his co-workers and boss Mr. Figgles. "I think your belly quite chubbier like Santa Claus," Mr. Seville? He puzzled. "I just eating my lunch boiled eggs salad," Boss. "No excuse. You're fired because I don't accept you gain weight. Pack your things and leave now." His boss Mr. Figgle ordered. "Oh. I guess so," Boss. My husband Dave Seville left the meeting room.
Riding in his Betsy classic car... "My boss fired me because he thinks I'm quite chubbier? Maybe I should decide to gain weight and stop by Le cafe restaurant that I am hungry now." My husband Dave is driving recently.
Afternoon returns back to 702 Liberty Lane Seville house from Le cafe restaurant... "Oh, I am full now. I need to step on my BMI scale if I gain weight or not? It's saying four hundred twenty pounds oz. Huh?" "I am home, Dave! Oh wells?" His beloved African American mute wife comes here with her adopted sons from the school. "My boss Mr. Figgle fired me today because he notices my belly quite chubbier like Santa Claus that I decide to gain weight and quit being a career songwriter," Dionne. My husband Dave Seville explained to me recently. "Boys, I need to talk your dad now?" "Sure," Mom. My adopted CGI animated remake chipmunks nodded and repeatedly to his adopted human stepmom Dionne Seville. "Are you mind of out," Dave!? His beloved African American mute wife yelled at him recently. "But, I don't care my boss Mr. Figgle didn't accept my excuse. I have to go take a drive now," Dionne. My husband Dave Seville left out of the front red door and closed it.

Just got this email:
UC Davis community members,
I am writing to share with you the attached letter
from President Mark G. Yudofto chancellors regarding the University's recent decision to make all campuses tobacco-free by 2014. The new policy direction will prohibit the smoking and chewing of tobacco, as well as the sale of tobacco products, and aligns with practices already in place at UC medical centers and many other universities.
As the President's letter indicates, each campus will soon be developing plans for implementing this decision, and we will have more information about what this new policy process will entail for our community as the UC Davis plan takes shape. We will, of course, consult with a broad range of our campus community as we develop mechanisms to implement this new policy direction.

This unit is designed for Advanced Placement Chemistry as a review and extension of topics introduced in first year chemistry. Students will review the different types of bonds and intermolecular forces to help them make predictions about the properties of materials and analyze data and draw conclusions. In class, students will utilize this information to better understand how they can predict the properties of materials and how scientific data help us understand properties and interactions of materials.
The unit culminates with an inquiry lab where students are tasked with deducing the type of bonding in a sample of a solid based on the chemical and physical properties associated with different types of bonds and intermolecular forces.

A police spokeswoman said the 32-year-old victim was approached in the Frankford neighborhood at about 5:15 a.m. Saturday by six masked males armed with guns and dressed in police or military fatigues.
Police said he was taken elsewhere and burned with a blowtorch and assaulted with a gun. He was then taken home and left in a vehicle while the males duct-taped his wife and took an undetermined amount of money and a safe. The man was then left outside as the males fled.
The victim was taken to Aria Frankford Hospital, where he was reported in stable condition. No arrests were immediately reported. | <urn:uuid:9710b3c2-5163-4038-b40d-36e1bcd00f01> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.ydr.com/state/ci_21870326/philadelphia-man-burned-blowtorch-before-home-invasion | 2015-08-28T08:13:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644062327.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025422-00094-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.994465 | 132 |
I’m pretty sure I woke up today thinking it was summer and realized that it’s almost December, where did this year go?! I’m not going to stress though, because today I want to talk about getting through the holidays with minimal stress.
Most of us love our spouses, children, in-laws, extended family and friends, but even with all that love, when we see them in large volumes for extended amounts of time, it can test even the most loving hearts. I was debating on writing this post about healthy food choices during the holidays, but quite honestly, most of us already know that we feel better when we don’t overeat, but our conditioned minds can overindulge on holiday meals even when we have the best intentions set in place. I get it, Grandmas chocolate haystacks; I never asked her for the recipe because I knew if I had it, I would make them all year long and they would lose that special holiday dopamine response coupled with stomach distress.
I will caution that food does have a direct impact on our mood, and there’s a true gut –brain connection that modern research is diving into at the moment (book recommendation: “A Mind of Your Own” by Dr. Kelly Brogan, MD). This shift in research is allowing us to move our future treatments geared towards dietary and nutritional changes to enhance overall mental health. Nutrition plays such a huge role in maintaining and creating a healthy living environment for our bodies!
During the holidays, best food sources of foods to help keep are brains sharp and bellies full are proteins, good fats and minimal processed carbs (breads, pies, cakes, cookies, rolls, pastas, etc.). This will help prevent that afternoon nap on the couch, covered up in Black Thursday/Friday ads.
Now let’s chat about mindfulness and living in the present! Holidays are truly amazing times to get together with loved ones and catch up with each other and spend that quality bonding time with people we have grown up around that we either love or lovingly disagree with.
Here are a few tips to make the most out of the Holidays:
- Be Self-Loving: As much as we feel the need to be around others 100% during the holidays, this is a perfect time to take 1 hour each morning to wake up, find a quiet place in your house to relax, meditate (recommendation: free apps like Headspace), read a book, journal, pray. Whatever you can do to just reset yourself for a great day ahead. If you need more help with this, drop me an e-mail and I can give you some helpful tips.
- Be an Advocate for Yourself: Usually the holidays can be hectic at our jobs and we can feel stressed or burned out quite quickly. Make sure you are maintaining your boundaries and not letting your big heart guide you into overworking. The last thing you want to do is be sick throughout the holidays.
- Be Grateful: I have an exercise that I like doing before I go to bed, I write down 3 things that I am most grateful for during the day. Our subconscious thoughts rule our mind, so when we are stopping ourselves to listen to what our inner voice is saying; we have the power to make ourselves happy all the time. No matter what negative things happened during the day, there are always situations, events and people that I can say that I’m truly grateful for.
- Be Giving: When we give without expecting anything in return, somewhere down the road when we need that support, we will receive it back in 10 fold. My heart is always full knowing that giving others the opportunity to experience something they might not have been able to, makes the best gift of all.
- One fantastic way to give is to support one of my friends making 100 stockings for children this Winter season. She is looking for items to donate even if it’s cash or just a few items, anything will help give these children that have a hard time getting food in their bellies, some TLC this holiday season. Contact Danielle at Sisterfriend7@gmail.com
- Be Strategic: If you know you are going to a work or family event and there are a few people that zap your energy, steer clear from them. Being around people that are energy zappers, even if we aren’t conversing with them, can drain our valuable energy we could be spending with someone else. So, find out who will be at the gatherings that you adore, and stay close to those people throughout the event.
- Be Present & Have Fun: Disconnect from the new electronic gadgets you scored and bust out board games, card games, or any activity that you can laugh with each other and share that connection. Rinse off those spoons you used at lunch and play a round of spoons. My family loves busting out the quarters and dice (in a game called Left, Right, Center), it gets everyone going and so many laughs are shared.
- Be Healthy: At the end of the day, health is important to enjoying the holiday seasons. Make sure you are preventing illnesses by building your immune system (see prior blog articles), getting enough vitamins – especially Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C, and get into a practice of doing some type of exercise at least a few days a week.
- Be Aware: If you notice your mood shift as the seasons change, look at increasing your Vitamin D3 levels (I recommend Vitamin D3 injections at Vive IV Therapy http://viveivtherapy.com/injection/vitamin-d-im-injection/). I also recommend adding a “HappyLight” to your routine. I started using this light therapy box (which is free of UV rays) 30 days ago, and I love it! I purchased mine from Body & Soul on Asbury Road http://www.relaxlivewell.com/boutique/ and I use it every morning when I wake up. As I am taking an hour to complete self-care tasks, I sit in front of this light. You can also keep it on your desk at work, or wherever you sit for periods of time. It only needs to be used 30min. to 2 hours daily to help mimic the impact of the sun.
Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving. | <urn:uuid:13db1bb4-51c0-49ac-a568-64f4c785236a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://balancehealth.me/2017/11/18/greatest-gift-truly-present-holidays/ | 2020-09-28T18:24:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401604940.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928171446-20200928201446-00413.warc.gz | en | 0.956728 | 1,317 |

1v1 Tournament August 29th 2020
Zero-K v18.104.22.168 - Lobster Nerf and Map Bans
In terms of balance, the Lobster nerf is by far the largest. Now that the launching mechanic is polished and usable it is time to balance the unit around its attributes rather than difficulty of use. The next largest changes are some tweaks to vehicle raiders to account for Bolas and the Kodachi changes.
Two notable infrastructure changes are the addition of personal map bans for the matchmaker and an experimental split of the teams host into clan-balance and non-clan-balance. The campaign also has a few more codex entries and there are numerous fixes to the consistency of the interface.
Repair costs less time and energy.
- 3/4 unit cost -> 2/3 unit cost.
Scorcher regains some of its ability to chew through health at close range.
- Increased DPS by 7.5%.
Kodachi is given the Locust treatment to make it less snowbally.
- Autoheal 10hp/s -> 5hp/s.
- Weapon Velocity 220 -> 240.
- Reduced upfront DPS by 10.7 to partially counteract fire fixes (see below).
Bolas instantly slows the opponent in fewer matchups.
- Slow damage 3x normal damage -> 2x normal damage.
Duck loses most of the torpedo range it gained in a recent experimental buff.
- Health 340 -> 360.
- Torpedo Range 210 -> 160.
Scallop has a bit less range now that it need not worry about Ducks
- Range 270 -> 260 (both weapons).
Lobster is due for some basic attribute nerfs now that the launch mechanic has been perfected. These numbers are similar to its initial implementation, prior to the slew of usability improvements.
- Cost 230 -> 340.
- Health 1040 -> 960.
- Range 680 -> 620.
- Reload 9s -> 12s.
Disco Rave Party is no longer countered by Funnelweb.
- Blue Shocker damage 12k -> 30k.
Cloaking has fewer bugs and inconsistencies, and area-cloaking is now worse than personal cloaking.
- Being hit by pure slow/disarm/capture weaponry now causes units to decloak (just like being hit by regular or EMP damage).
- Personal cloak is disabled for 3s after taking damage or performing an action.
- Personal cloak disabled by enemy proximity lingers for 1.5s.
- Area cloak is disabled for 5s after taking damage or performing an action.
- Area cloak disabled by enemy proximity lingers for 2.5s.
Previously cloak was disabled for 3.5s by most, but not all, actions. Proximity decloak linger has been broken for a while, causing units to recloak immediately upon an enemy leaving range. Units with personal cloak use the improved numbers even when under an area cloaker.
Other mechanical changes and fixes.
- Disarmed transports can no longer pick up units.
- Transports drop their cargo when they start crashing.
- Zenith stops functioning when its beam is blocked, such as by aircraft or water.
- Fixed Dante, Kodachi and Disco Rave Party being unable to set units on fire.
- Added Codex entries for the quadrants of the galaxy, as well as few for particular planets.
- Added the ability personally ban matchmaker maps (up to six for 1v1, fewer for teams). There is a link via the 'Map Selection' button in the Matchmaking menu.
- Added map size to the tooltip for map selection mult-polls.
- Added network connection settings under Settings -> Game that may be experimented with to fix potential Coop Campaign hosting issues.
- Split the big teams autohost into two hosts. One attempts to put players in same clan or party on the same team. The other ignores clans and parties.
- Increased the maximum Queen Health Multiplier option from 30 to 1000.
- Removed the non-functional play as chickens modoption.
- Added filter and selection hotkeys for loaded and empty air transports.
- Added a hotkey to select all Athenas.
- Fixed some inconsistencies with the stockpile interface and added initial stockpile to Settings/Unit Behaviour.
- Setting the energy stall minimum to zero or the metal excess warning to maximum now disables the warnings completely.
- Disabled tactical AI for bombs by default.
- Tactical AI now responds to Chicken Leapers.
- Added support that allows map-style mods to override tooltips.
- Fixed using ')' as a hotkey on AZERTY keyboards.
- The COFC camera now uses the usual camera hotkeys.
- Fixed some Global Build AI issues and added a hotkey.
- Cleaned up invalid entries in the cheat menu unit spawner.
- Impaler animation matches its reload time.
- Fixed Ultimatium attempting to fire up cliffs from too far away.
- Chickens can no longer be reclaimed.
- Fixed Shieldbot Factory being categorised as 'Other' by endgame stats.
- Constructors count towards 'Economy' instead of 'Army' in endgame stats.
- Fixed a bug with preselection circles.
- Fixed some Gunship Plant geometry.
- Cleaned up the unit replies system.
- Dominatrix leash is no longer obscured by terrain.

A new book alleges that a gang of city criminals are using stolen masterworks as security for dirty deals and its author was told he'd pay with his life if he came to Limerick
THE American author of a best-selling account of the biggest art heist in history has described being told a notorious gang of Limerick criminals had a share in the priceless Rembrandts and Degas, which they were using as security in drug and weapons deals.
In "The Gardner Heist: The True Story of the World's Largest Unsolved Art Theft", journalist Ulrich Boser investigates the $500 million theft of the artworks from a Boston museum in 1990 and follows the trail to Shannon Airport.
One lead in the mystery is that the paintings were shipped to Ireland by James 'Whitey' Bulger, the Boston-based Irish-American mobster on whom Jack Nicholson's character in Martin Scorcese's Hollywood blockbuster "The Departed" is partly based.
Bulger shipped arms to the IRA in the 1980s and some investigators believe that the artworks were also sent across the pond to help the Republican cause. The Gardner Heist describes how the haul may then have fallen into the hands of a nexus of Irish republicans and criminals who Mr Boser is told are "the type that would go to Baghdad on holiday" and he is warned that if he does go to Limerick in search of the art, he will pay for it with his life.
After years of researching the mystery, Mr Boser said all the evidence points to a Boston criminal as being the mastermind but the author told the Limerick Leader this week that "there are a number of well-respected art detectives who are convinced that the paintings could be held by criminals somewhere in the west of Ireland". Investigators, he said, had been probing the "Irish connection" to the theft since day one.
St Patrick's Day celebrations were in full swing in Boston in the early hours of March 18, 1990, when two men dressed as police officers blagged their way into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and tied up the security guards. A witness heard one thief address the other as 'mate', pointing to a possible Irish connection. They made off with five Degas, three Rembrandts, including his only seascape, and a Vermeer.
"But as well as these paintings, they also took a number of low value portraits of horses, which were relatively worthless but apparently highly prized by Irish criminals," Mr Boser said.
Travelling to London in search of the art, Mr Boser is told by a reformed art crook that a vicious gang of Limerick criminals have acquired an interest in the artwork, which they are using as a black market bond or security for drug and weapons deals. The book also recounts a dinner interview between Boser and two internationally-respected art detectives, Dick Ellis and Maurice Dalrymple, who make clear their belief that the paintings could be in Ireland.
But Boser is warned he could be killed if he travels to Limerick to look for the paintings.
"Ireland is not a place to go gallivanting about. It is still a big village, and in some places, everyone is on the take. You hire a car to go to Limerick and they'll know that you've hired the car and why you're there before you've even at the foot of the driveway," Dalrymple tells Boser.
"I mean really, why don't you just go up to Ireland and see if you can find the paintings? Go to a bar in Limerick and just ask for them. The best thing that can happen is they just ignore you. Or you might get murdered," the detective says, adding that this might not be a bad idea.
"I don't think they really wanted to see me dead," Boser told the Limerick Leader this week, "it's just they may have run out of patience with the persistent questioning you get from a journalist over a two-hour meeting. But Maurice Dalrymple, who I respect an awful lot, did challenge me that if I wanted to see the paintings, I should just walk into a seedy bar down a back street in Limerick and start asking about stolen paintings in a broad American accent and see how far I got. I could see his point."
In the end, the author does decide to travel to Ireland not to probe the Limerick link but to search for Whitey Bulger, who has allegedly been spotted in Galway Bay posing as a retired doctor.
Arriving in Shannon on a low cost flight with a planeload of drunks singing "The Wild Rover", Boser's account of his 48-hour stay is unlikely to be reproduced in any Tourism Ireland or Shannon Development brochures.
He spends two days wandering around coastal resorts in Clare and Galway on the lookout for Whitey Bulger, hassling poor pensioners in Doolin trying to make out if they are the world's most wanted man after Osama bin Laden.
But looking out into the gloomy Atlantic in the "seaside hamlet" of Lahinch, Boser realises he will never find his Whitey Whale and heads back to Shannon Airport.
The Gardner Heist concludes that a Boston criminal was behind the theft. And huge rewards, such as that offered by the museum founders in this case, mean a multiplicity of theories can be brought forward, some completely off the wall. But despite this, the Gardner heist remains unsolved and the Limerick link is still a distinct possibility, Boser said.
Described by the Guardian as "a thrill", "The Gardner Heist" moves effortlessly from the underworld to the world of high art and comments on the growing black market for art worldwide. It is published by Harper Collins and is available in all good bookshops.

June 30, 2016 – A huge Mexican cartel grow raided in Eastern Yamhill County on Tuesday. More than 6,500 plants were seized, growing on wetlands near the Willamette River in rural Dayton. Yamhill Sheriff Sgt. Chris Ray said the grow had an elaborate living area under tarps, including a complete kitchen.
Authorities arrested Manuel Madrigal on federal drug trafficking charges. The suspect is from Texas and has a long history of drug related crimes. The plants had an estimated value of over $9 million dollars. The Yamhill County Interagency Narcotics Team (YCINT) conducted the operation, and the tactical portion was carried out by Oregon State Police SWAT.
In a statement from Yamhill Sheriff’s office:
“This is the first large scale D.T.O. marijuana grow operation located in Yamhill County in several years. Historically, these grows have been located on public lands in the mountains of western Yamhill County, and were difficult to access due to steep, dangerous terrain. This shows a shift in tactics by the drug trafficking organizations.
YCINT was assisted by Oregon State Police, the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the McMinnville Police Department. Anyone with information regarding this investigation is encouraged to contact YCINT at 503-472-6565.” | <urn:uuid:7c158331-ea45-49dc-9cf3-675b6f75e61b> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.occnewspaper.com/cartel-grow-dayton-oregon/ | 2021-01-27T10:37:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610704821381.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20210127090152-20210127120152-00692.warc.gz | en | 0.965563 | 283 |
Why can't I leave my lo with someone else long enough to take a freaking shower? Updated with pic.
So I was taking a shower last night and DH was running the vaccum when our lo stuck his hand under it! DH said he feels bad, but he was negligent! It shouldn't have happened! He is the adult, of COURSE it is HIS fault. Now my lo has a scrape on the back of his hand. DH can just stay the hell away from us!
My lo is only 2.
Here is a photo of what 'the sweeper' did to my lo's hand and to a purple plastic toy that I ran over about three months ago which caused a huge discussion at home about safety.
He should feel bad! This should not have happened!
I have 2 children 2 and 3 - my home is 'baby proofed' - I have no problems when I am home alone with the kids and take a shower or do chores around the house. It's absurd then that I can't confidently do these things when their father is home anymore! | <urn:uuid:1c7014a9-7d6a-484d-99d4-3288b5be9c1c> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.cafemom.com/group/115189/forums/read/19770555/Why_cant_I_leave_my_lo_with_someone_else_long_enough_to_take_a_freaking_shower_Updated_with_pic | 2014-12-17T22:32:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802764809.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075244-00057-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983882 | 221 |
You are almost 30 years old and you start looking back on your life and consider what you have achieved. Maybe you travelled straight after you graduated or put your career on hold for your children. Maybe you went in and out of a few study courses whilst trying to find what you enjoy. Feeling ‘trapped’ at this point can be easy, as though you have left your career too late to make any worthwhile achievement.
This feeling of helplessness can seem overwhelming, but the truth is that you never too late to make a worthwhile achievement. In fact, sometimes the benefits of finding the right career path in your late 20’s can outweigh the benefits of starting young.
Here is why:
The Benefits of Pursuing Your Goals Later
- When you are older, you are more focused on your goals and are more likely to make your time count.
- When you know what you want you are less likely to jump from job to job. You will not be wasting any more time.
- Employers are looking for older, grounded individuals who are not be always looking for ‘something better’. Employers are attracted to mature individuals who are invested in their career choice.

JERSEY CITY -- Hope Center Arts is pleased to announce the grand opening gala for Pierced Gallery, featuring international artist Sarabel Santos Negrón Thursday evening.
The 5,000 square-foot gallery at The Hope Center is part of the newly-formed Jersey City Heights Arts District.
Sarabel Santos Negrón began her studies in Art at the Escuela Central de Artes Visuales de Santurce (Central School of Visual Arts of Santurce). She has a Bachelors degree in Painting and an additional degree in Art History from the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras. She also studied Art History at Fundación Ortega y Gasset (Ortega and Gasset Foundation) in Toledo, Spain and earned a Master’s Degree in Art, with a specialty in Museology/Museum Studies from Caribbean University, Bayamón. training was under artists Jaime Romano, Néstor Millán, Nathan Budoff and Eric French.
Negrón’s works have been exhibited in Puerto Rico, the United States and the United Kingdom. She has participated in several group exhibitions, including The International Art Fair in Puerto Rico, circa 2010 and Parallax AF 2012 in London, England.
Prior to the Pierced Gallery in Jersey City, she has also had a solo exhibition at the Pontifical Catholic University in Ponce. In 2012, she became a candidate to form part of the Cité Internationale des Arts, in Paris, France.
She has received various art awards from the Department of Education, the Department of Health, The Office of Youth Affairs, the Multi-Insurance Cooperative of Puerto Rico and by the Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.
Negrón’s fine art vacillates between figuration and the abstraction of nature and of the human figure. She excels at drawing, painting and the integration of digital art. Her works reflect a strong social connotation along with the influence of ecological, physiological, biological and philosophical themes. Her solo exhibition at The Hope Center features an exploration of roots, trees and skulls.
Doors open at the gala at 7:30 pm, this Thursday at The Hope Center, 110 Cambridge Ave., Jersey City.
The Hope Center has its own in-house arts academy with over 130 students and produces about 40 events a year, including concerts, plays and art exhibitions - many of which are free or at an extremely low cost to the community.

This week’s Essential Research survey has Labor’s lead at 60-40, up from 59-41 last week. Also featured are interesting findings on development of nuclear power plants for electricity generation (43 per cent support, 35 per cent oppose) and whether Australia has an obligation to dispose of nuclear waste from countries it exports uranium to (26 per cent agree, 53 per cent disagree), along with perceptions of the Australian-US relationship and a quiz question on Australia Day (which makes me wonder how many answered without recourse to Google). Other news:
The South Australian Liberals have suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of independent Geoff Brock in the Frome by-election following Saturday’s distribution of preferences. Crikey subscribers can read my post-mortem here, and a still lively discussion is raging on my live coverage post. The Advertiser reports that Brock’s success might give other potential independent candidates ideas, including ALP stalwarts such as Rod Sawford and Murray Delaine, who were respectively Labor members for the federal seat of Port Adelaide and the state seat of Cheltenham. Liberal leader Martin Hamilton-Smith says he is ready to make deals with any independent candidate who ran next year in safe Labor seats such as Port Adelaide, Croydon, Lee and Colton.
Speculation about an early Queensland election continues to stop and start. Mark Bahnisch of Larvatus Prodeo says the Courier-Mail has damaged its credibility with its repeated wolf-crying on the subject, while The Australian’s D. D. McNicoll contends that the whisper in Queensland political circles is Premier Anna Bligh will call the state election on February 28, a date that ensures bumper superannuation payouts for all the surviving members of the ALP’s ‘Class of 2001’ who were never expected to serve more than one term in parliament. Former Howard government senior adviser David Moore surveys the landscape in The Australian.
The NSW Nationals’ plans to select a candidate in a winnable seat for the 2011 state election by holding an open primary has caught the attention of blogger Tim Andrews, who is unsure why this proposal hasn’t received more attention, as it has the potential to revolutionise Australian politics. Ben Raue at The Tally Room reckons the idea is at least a good gimmick. The Nationals’ briefing paper on the subject can be read here.

With wages, rents and pricing pressure increasing, retailers must be focused on the bottom line like never before. An industry-wide movement to a $15 an hour minimum wage is just one reason why retailers are seeking innovative new ways to compensate for the escalating erosion of profit margins.
At a 4% unemployment rate, even adding or replacing an employee is no longer such a simple option. On top of that, customer service expectations are mounting in the face of intense online competition. Retailers must do more to “own their customers’ attention” to keep them coming back. In this hyper-competitive retail environment, a fresh approach is needed for retailers to “own your customer” without adding expensive headcount, deep discounting or high cost/low return incentive programs.
The 12thMan Solution
In football, the “12thMan” is the extra advantage the home team gains from the influence its fans can have on the outcome of the game, a metaphorical 12thman on the field. In this hyper-competitive retail environment, your “12th Man” is to maximize the use of digital identification and transaction history to raise the service level to your best customers – without the need to increase employee headcount to do it. To have an effective 12th Man strategy, your best customers accurate contact information should be a central part of your marketing database. The net result is owning your best customers’ attention and ensuring frequent store visits and more spending without the need to increase headcount.
Key Success Elements for a 12th Man Solution
- A motivational incentivethat delivers a high sign-up rate for a voluntary “Best Customer” digital identification (contact info).
- Automated processes to simplify consistent implementation (and program parameters that can be self-managed)
- Effective application of the Transaction History Database to personalize the customer experience and customize offers
- Motivational incentive follow-ups
Meeting all these objectives, cash-incentive loyalty programs deliver a stunning 80% success rate for customer enrollment. One reason why is that nearly 60% of respondents said it was too complicated or took too long to earn rewards, and 78% want to redeem their rewards at the point of sale. Further supporting this 12thMan strategy, 87% of customers report they are willing to have details of their purchase activity monitored in order to receive personalized rewards and more relevant offers.
“The days of cards offering 10 points per dollar or a 1% value proposition are over. The future is all about relevance and aligning the program’s value to the customer,” according to Precima President Brian Ross, a leading global retail strategy and analytics company.
Customer Loyalty Accelerator (CLA) was designed to be your ideal 12th Man Solution, meeting all the Key Success Elements while also being easy to implement, cost efficient and delivering a high ROI. More than a basic, points based loyalty plan, it is simple to activate and easily integrates with your existing loyalty plan, or can serve as a standalone rewards program. | <urn:uuid:916bce78-88fa-4abe-814c-eb635b1566bf> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://customerloyaltyaccelerator.com/the-12th-man-solution-to-succeeding-in-a-hyper-competitive-retail-market/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-12th-man-solution-to-succeeding-in-a-hyper-competitive-retail-market | 2020-07-14T23:37:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657151761.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714212401-20200715002401-00253.warc.gz | en | 0.921742 | 624 |
Today, depression hit like a punch in my gut. Hard. Unexpected. Left out of breath and unable to move. The feeling of nothing slowly returns. I don’t eat for hours. I don’t get out of bed for hours. I lay there in the dark for hours wide awake. I don’t sleep. My soul is tired. The darkness I see exists within my soul and somehow I find that comforting. | <urn:uuid:ac9af0a3-43c5-4191-9565-bc2bb4b4634a> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://empathypoetry.com/2017/08/15/prose-darkness/ | 2022-07-02T12:09:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104054564.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220702101738-20220702131738-00144.warc.gz | en | 0.913346 | 91 |

Officers who rescued woman in fire are fighting for paid overtime
By Kimberly Edds
ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. — Five Cypress police officers are being called heroes after they rescued an 84-year-old woman from a burning house. The men will be honored for their bravery at tonight's City Council meeting.
"I think the officers were just wonderful," said 84-year-old Eleanor Jensen, who is living in a hotel with her 16-year-old dog, Sarah Jane, after the Nov. 25 fire destroyed her home.

How Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Can Help With Bowel Issues
Your bowels are an important part of your body and yet it remains a subject that many people avoid talking about. However, it is estimated that 10% of the population has bowel disorders.
Understanding Bowel Disorders
There are many things that can go wrong with your bowels, from cancer to infections, and even trauma. In effect, the bowels have strong muscles which hold everything in until you are ready to release it. You will know it’s time because you’ll feel full or a pressure in your bowels.
However, once you develop a bowel issue you may feel constantly like you need to pass urine or you may lose control of your bowels and inadvertently let some out.
Any of these issues are highly embarrassing and will instantly affect your quality of life. People who worry about losing control of their bowels tend to avoid social situations. They will suffer from reduced confidence, anxiety, and this can lead to depression and other mental illnesses.
The good news is there are things you can do to deal with the issue and it starts by visiting a reputable Botany physiotherapy today.
What Physiotherapy Offers
A physiotherapist will chat with you about your bowel issues and your general health. This will help them to gain an understanding of the issues you face and the potential causes.
They will then go through a series of exercises that will help you to strengthen your bowel muscles. Weak bowel muscles are one of the most common reasons for a loss of bowel control. Of course, there are many reasons why this can happen.
Your physiotherapist doesn’t just offer exercises, they are also very good at listening and can identify other issues in your life that could be causing you a problem. It is worth seeing one as they can transform your life.
How Physiotherapy Helps
If you consistently do the exercises you’ll find your ability to prevent accidents will improve. How much it improves will depend on the condition that caused the problem.
But, at the very least you should develop the ability to hold your bowels until you can make it to the bathroom. This will eliminate embarrassing issues and allow you to partake in normal life again.
In short, the physiotherapist can give you your life back! That makes them worth trying.
Additional Tips For Bowel Health
It is best to empty your bowels regularly. For some, that means a couple of times a day, for others that means once every few days. These are all fine but if you struggle to hold it or have an abrupt change in your schedule, you need to consult a professional and discuss the issue. The sooner you do this the better.
Alongside this, you should make sure you always empty your bowels properly when using the toilet and you optimize your sitting position on the toilet. This will help to keep your bowels healthy. Combined with sphincter muscle exercises you may avoid any bowel issues as you age. | <urn:uuid:0d625226-3066-4f93-8666-6485999ef557> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.healthhelpzone.com/health_guide/how-pelvic-health-physiotherapy-can-help-with-bowel-issues-57090125.shtml | 2022-08-11T02:03:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571232.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811012302-20220811042302-00766.warc.gz | en | 0.960382 | 627 |
