Parents who fail to obtain assistance for kids labeled by the state as “children in need of services” can be charged with neglect by the Department of Child Services. But a recent Indiana Court of Appeals ruling says parents who have attempted to gain services for their children should be protected from neglect charges.
In a case involving the parent of a teenager with emotional challenges, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that because the parent tried to access services for her child, she could not be charged with neglect. That ruling could prove to be important in other neglect cases around the state, especially those involving children with mental illnesses.
Teresa Hatten of the Indiana branch of the National Association of Mental Illness says many parents of disabled children are frustrated to find long waitlists for programs that fit their kids’ needs—and sometimes no programs at all.
“What we’re saying is—and what everybody knows is—the family didn’t neglect these children. They’re begging for help. Since they’re begging for help, that’s not neglect,” Hatten says.
That waiting game is only one roadblock to obtaining services. IU law professor Jody Madeira says the ruling shows judges are aware that well-meaning parents often have trouble accessing and also paying for the services they are supposed to be administering to their children.
“Basically the parent has to be making a good faith effort,” she says. “And of course for parents with insurance, that changes matters, because they can go to private providers. If individuals don’t have insurance that may complicate matters because the only provider of services might be the state and the state has its own timetables.”
For example, parents might have to wait for a series of psychiatric evaluations and tests before enrolling their children in special treatment programs—a process that can take months. | <urn:uuid:11c336bd-e5fa-4e9d-9952-9d3bf44ed8e0> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://indianapublicmedia.org/news/court-ruling-dcs-parents-neglect-charge-protection-32633/ | 2016-02-12T14:14:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701164268.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193924-00197-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969441 | 388 |

Mario Manningham has been declared out by the 49ers for Sunday's game against the Patriots, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston. This will be the second straight game that Manningham misses with a shoulder injury, after missing last Sunday's game against Miami.
After coming over as a free-agent last offseason, Manningham has only played in five games for the 49ers this season. Despite the lack of game action, the Michigan product is second on the team with 41 receptions and third in receiving yards.
Reiss speculates that the loss of Manningham might mean more work for San Francisco's other offseason signing, Randy Moss. The veteran wideout has just 21 catches on the year and two touchdowns, but could be a factor against his former team. Moss played for the Patriots for three and half season before being traded to the Vikings. Another stop in Tennessee and a brief retirement in 2011 has made the last three years of Moss' career volatile at best. | <urn:uuid:dcb3a6d0-6479-4e9b-8c72-e313a28acb5c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://boston.sbnation.com/2012/12/15/3771452/49ers-vs-patriots-mario-manningham-out-for-for-sf | 2022-01-27T11:15:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305260.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220127103059-20220127133059-00383.warc.gz | en | 0.979644 | 196 |

unable to link to components that have spaces in them through the importer tool
I'm using the importer to add some test cases into JIRA, but when I add a component to the test cases which has a space in the component name (example 'upgrade project') I get an invalid component error back and so I'm having to leave the component out and then mass update the test cases afterwards.
I've tried to use different methods to show it as one word instead of a separate component such as speak marks, apostrophes, underscores, even wild card items such as enclosing it in percentages etc... but so far to no avail.
Does anyone know if its possible to add a component through the importer which would have a space in it?

Harris feeling right at home in second stint with Broncos
Aug. 07, 2015
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Ryan Harris feels right at home, enjoying the orange-clad crowds and orange sunsets at training camp once again.
The eighth-year offensive tackle from Notre Dame kept his house in suburban Denver when the Broncos gave up on him back in 2010.
He retreated there after the Eagles cut him in 2011 and he decided against relocating when he made a comeback in Houston, where he played two years before going to Kansas City in 2014.
"I love the Denver area, especially the food scene," said Harris, who refuses to fuel up at fast-food joints. "As athletes, you're always trying to look for fresh ingredients, and Denver's got a great food scene, whether you're getting sandwiches or dinners, you've got fresh farm-to-table."
Harris signed with the Broncos on May 28 after Ryan Clady blew out his left knee. The Broncos wanted to add depth and experience to a young offensive line, but they've gotten much more than that.
Harris, who didn't have to hire any movers when he signed, saved his big move for the first week of training camp when he leapfrogged Chris Clark and Michael Schofield and wedged himself into the starting lineup at right tackle.
"Tackles are hard to find," coach Gary Kubiak said. "When we had the unfortunate thing happen to (Clady), for us to get right on top of getting Ryan Harris in here, boy, it looks bigger each and every day."
Harris didn't have to search out any new restaurants. In fact, one of the biggest changes since he last played for the Broncos was the gourmet chef the team hired last year.
"It's been an easy transition," he said, smiling.
Also protecting 39-year-old quarterback Peyton Manning — who worked out of the pistol Friday — is veteran right guard Louis Vasquez and three players whose next NFL snap will be their first: Ty Sambrailo, Max Garcia and Matt Paradis.
Harris said all this angst over the young offensive line is nothing new to him.
"My first year I started here, 2008, Ryan Clady was a rookie and I had never played and people had concerns there and I think we gave up 12 sacks on the whole season," Harris said. "And that goes back to the whole thing 'you're not until you are.' And that happens very quickly. You're not experienced until you play and then all of a sudden you're an experienced group."
Harris said he's constantly peppered with questions from the young O-linemen, and not just about football.
"There's so much they're dealing with," Harris said, like where to get groceries and gas, whether to buy or rent.
"There's a lot coming at them outside of football and then you add the fastest, strongest players they've ever played against and there's a lot happening," Harris said. "So, I try to really engage the young guys and say, 'Hey, I saw that happen. Think about doing it this way or do it that way.' Because there are a lot of questions."
That mentorship must be paying off. Pro Bowl linebackers DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller said they see daily improvement from the young, revamped O-line.
"They're all in sync and they're all working together," Miller said. "That's what you want in an offensive line. If you have five guys, five tough guys, working together, it's going to be pretty tough on the other team. That's what we see out here with those guys. You can't even tell they're rookies."
NOTES: WR Emmanuel Sanders (hamstring) sat out Friday. Kubiak called his injury "very minor." ... Solomon Patton, claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay in May, caught two deep balls, one from Manning and the other from Trevor Siemian. "Obviously, we know his returning is a specialty of his. But if he can go out there and make plays as a wide out, it's going to make him even more valuable to making this football team," Kubiak said.

Israel and the United States announced on Wednesday the completion of tests on the latest version of the David’s Sling anti-ballistic missile system.
The test series, designated David’s Sling Test-5 (DST-5), was the fifth in a series of tests of the David’s of the system, which will be an integral part of Israel’s multi-tiered missile defense array.
This test series was conducted at Yanat Sea Range, operated out of Palmachim Air Base, Israel.
“This test campaign is a critical step in ensuring Israel has the capability to defense itself from a very real and growing threat,” said U.S. Missile Defense Agency Director Vice Adm. Jim Syring.
“We remain strongly committed to supporting Israel’s development of a missile defense system.”
The test examined capabilities and performance of the entire David’s Sling Weapon System. Threat-representative targets were launched and successfully intercepted by Stunner missiles. The Multi-Mission Radar (MMR) detected the target after launch and transferred flight information to the Battle Management Center (BMC), which calculated the defense plan.
The interceptors were successfully launched, performed all flight phases and engaged the targets as planned. Preliminary analysis indicates that test objectives were successfully achieved.
The information collected during the test is being analyzed by program engineers and will be used for ongoing development and fielding of the David’s Sling Weapon System.
David’s Sling, which is geared for defense against medium and long-range missiles, has been designed to complement Iron Dome, which is used to knock down short-range missiles from the Gaza Strip and the already operational Arrow 3, used to intercept long-range ballistic missiles. | <urn:uuid:450b81f8-9593-4778-a9a9-a3877aac5fec> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://hamodia.com/2017/01/25/davids-sling-test-successful/ | 2019-03-19T16:15:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912201996.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20190319143502-20190319165502-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.946649 | 369 |

Baltimore prosecutors announced the indictments of 22 men investigators say took part in a vast dogfighting ring that operated in basements and backyards across the Baltimore area.
"It's a cruel world," Baltimore police Lt. Col. Sean Miller said. "The connectivity to violent crime and violence is apparent."
Armed with search warrants, Baltimore police raided 15 city row houses and other properties, two Baltimore County locations and a compound in West Virginia.
Over the course of the yearlong investigation, Baltimore police say, officers seized 225 dogs, 50 puppies and 20 guns. They charged 14 men with dogfighting conspiracy, aggravated cruelty related to dogfighting, animal abuse and neglect.
Thiru Vignarajah, Major Crimes Unit chief for the Baltimore state's attorney's office, called the Baltimore-area operation an "unforgiving underworld" where dogs were trained to fight for entertainment and financial gain. Dogfight purses sometimes surpassed $100,000, he said.
"Because there is a link between animal abuse and human violence, it is important that these crimes be taken seriously, which is exactly what the [police] did," said Katie Flory, chair of the mayor's Anti-Animal Abuse Commission.
American Humane Association's renowned Red Star Animal Emergency Services team was asked to stand by to help the animal victims and began providing care for the dogs at an undisclosed shelter in the Baltimore area, helping with the handling and comforting of 69 animals who for so long have known nothing but brutal torture, abuse and neglect.
"Animal fighting is a barbaric and cowardly form of cruelty," said Justin L. Scally, national director of Humane Intervention & Emergency Services for American Humane Association. "One that not only leads to immense animal suffering – but one that frequently also involves other crimes and violence."
"A situation like this, involving deliberate cruelty to animals and, often, death, is especially heartbreaking," said Dr. Robin Ganzert, president and CEO of American Humane Association. "Unless someone intervenes, these animals would have no hope."
Local shelters are housing 85 of the dogs seized, and police did not know their status, including how many could be put up for adoption and how many might be euthanized. Baltimore County's Animal Services shelter received six of the dogs, which are on administrative hold pending the legal case and cannot be adopted, said Ellen Kobler, Baltimore County government spokeswoman.
"Each and every dog is assessed individually by a professional," Baltimore police spokesman Lt. Eric Kowalczyk said. "Every effort is made to rehabilitate and place them for adoption. As a general rule, many dogs, including all puppies and young dogs, do end up in loving families as a result of their effort."

Many important physical applications are governed by the wave equation. The formulation as time domain boundary integral equations involves retarded potentials. For the numerical solution of this problem we employ the convolution quadrature method for the discretization in time and the Galerkin boundary element method for the space discretization. We will introduce a simple a-priori cutoff strategy where small entries of the system matrix are replaced by zero. The threshold for the cutoff is determined by an a-priori analysis which will be developed in this paper. This method reduces the storage requirements from O(M² N log² N) to O(M1+s N log² N) for some s between 0 and 1 where N denotes the number of time steps and M is the dimension of the boundary element space. | <urn:uuid:605962d9-cca7-4e36-a9b0-4418acc1bcb2> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.mis.mpg.de/publications/preprints/2005/prepr2005-116.html | 2019-06-17T11:45:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998473.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617103006-20190617125006-00412.warc.gz | en | 0.830508 | 333 |

As investment continues to roll into Middlesbrough, exciting projects are being planned for the future. Business parks and high-spec workspaces aim to create hundreds of new jobs and business opportunities for start-ups and post-graduates.
Businesses within Middlesbrough have one of the highest start-up rates at 17.5%, proving the strength and stability of the economy within the town and with leading industries in the Media and Creative sector, Middlesbrough has become a place for culture and innovation, outranking huge cities such as London and Greater Manchester.
Middlesbrough has an ever-growing student population, with Teesside University attracting over 18,000 full and part time students each year both domestically and internationally, with a large number of overseas students from countries such as Hong Kong, China, Singapore and India choosing to study there. The large number of students coming to Middlesbrough each year has created a number of opportunities for property investment in Middlesbrough, as demand for purpose built student accommodation continues to outstrip supply.
Middlesbrough has great transport links, with its train station servicing 1.4m passengers each year and has a number of lines that give residents and students direct travel to other cities such as Manchester, Liverpool, York and Leeds.
If you want to travel by air, Middlesbrough’s own airport; Durham Tees Valley International Airport can take you to over 200 destinations and is just a short 20 minutes away from the town centre, which is a no-brainer for international students and tourists who want to visit the area.
Teesside University has had huge success within Middlesbrough and as a huge contributor to the cities ever growing student population; its popularity and culture can only continue to grow as further investment into the town will be seen within the next three years.
A new student village is in the pipeline which hopes to generate 450 student beds and Middlesbrough's Investment Prospectus will create 5,000 new jobs in the town as part of wider plans by the local council to invest over £600m into the area by 2020.
Aside from future investments into the town, what Middlesbrough already has to offer students studying and living here, undeniably ticks many boxes. There are plenty of bars, pubs and clubs to visit whilst enjoying its colourful nightlife.
Leisure facilities such as cinemas, museums, sport clubs and more give plenty of opportunities to students who want to soak up everything Middlesbrough has to offer. | <urn:uuid:2710cffe-9c9c-48fa-b14c-4e97572b7898> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.pureinvestor.co.uk/locations/united-kingdom/middlesbrough | 2021-10-15T20:22:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583083.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20211015192439-20211015222439-00134.warc.gz | en | 0.962862 | 792 |
But he was not happy with the course, and as a veteran (age 36) took it upon
himself to complain about a jump on the track. He telephoned FIS Race Director
Guenther Hujara and said, roughly translated: “If you don’t take that jump down and
anything happens I will not hesitate to attack you in public.”
Hujara, apparently, felt threatened enough that he fined Cuche 5,000 Swiss
Cuche said he felt he was “treated like a child,” that he got very little sleep as he
stewed over the incident, and that he now wasn’t sure he would continue to race
The first race day (Friday, March 11) started out looking like the second training
run, but turned foul as a storm front moved in, creating very different conditions for
front and mid-pack runners. Switzerland’s Beat Feuz, in bib No. 5, took the win.
Garmisch’s gold medal winner, Erik Guay, wearing No. 8, was second, and Walch-
hofer, with a great run from the 21st start, was third. Cuche — after being fastest in
training despite displaying extra caution — was fifth. With two downhills remaining,
his standings lead was whittled to 50.
By then the news of the fine had reached the media and the questioning was re-
The race was a first Cup win for Feuz, a triple World Junior medalist in 2007. He
said he wasn’t so much surprised as relieved to have finally shown his speed in a
big-league race. Guay not only got his second downhill podium of the season but
also passed Ken Read on the Canadian all-time ranking for World Cup podiums.
Guay said it had never been a conscious goal, but added: “I grew up watching the
Crazy Canucks. They are a part of Canadian heritage. To now be able to pass him
is very special.” But, he said, “My job is not done yet.”
For Walchhofer, with just two downhills remaining in his long and illustrious career,
the podium placing was fulfilling. “I have an outside shot,” he said of his chances
of catching Cuche for what would be the fourth career World Cup downhill title for
either man — one off the men’s all-time mark owned by Franz Klammer.
Walchhofer was relaxed, calm and skiing well. And he got his sleep.
Cuche was angry, tired of explaining the situation to every reporter on site, and
again tossed and turned all night.
Cuche’s Saturday run (March 12) was far from his best. He finished seventh while
Walchhofer won over teammate Klaus Kroell with Feuz in third. Walchhofer now led
the standings by 14 points with the race at Finals all that stood between himself and
going out a title winner in his final season. Momentum was on his side.
Walchhofer seemed to have regained the form he had shown in December with
wins at Lake Louise and Bormio. It was the third podium of the season for Kro-

With dropshipping, shop owners can sell and dropship items to their shoppers devoid of truly seeing the products. If you attempt to blame your supplier for a fulfillment trouble, you are going to come off as amateurish and unprofessional. That’s why to most people today, dropshipping reminds them of Chinese goods and practically nothing else. Correct now I never have (but) an eBay shop or Shopify account, My seller account is doing very good (Individual) so far and I started to use AliExpress for Dropshipping lately.
I know nothing about dropshipping and have accomplished lots of study about it but I am still confused. I contacted a supplier on aliexpress, and i was in a position to get 50-80% discounts on the costs. By partnering with wholesalers , retailers can promote a numerous list or merchandises in advance, take orders from shoppers, and purchase goods from wholesalers later.
The most common gateway made use of by the dropshipping suppliers is PayPal. A lot of them have started out just seeking for on the internet business enterprise without investment and now run a successfull small business. As an alternative, you’ll require to give value in a distinctive way, usually via prime-notch item education, service or choice.
Social media works really effectively for on line organization at each stage to generate traffic and convert into sales. It really is a trusted model: You may possibly be thinking that this sounds like some sketchy, fly-by-evening model – but it is not. As a dropshipper, I’ve personally sold over $3M worth of AliExpress goods and know guys who have sold even far more The dropship model genuinely performs.
You could ask your suppliers for custom packages – and they must agree, if you happen to be creating more sales. I’ll go over a basic definition, list the positive aspects, show you how to obtain drop shipping wholesalers, and give options to some frequent complications associated with drop shipping. | <urn:uuid:dfc105e5-1545-447b-9c1e-092c143c2aed> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://www.eurobolsaonline.com/5-secrets-to-discover-reputable-suppliers-for-your-dropshipping-company.html | 2018-07-23T09:26:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676596204.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20180723090751-20180723110751-00248.warc.gz | en | 0.945421 | 421 |

How to examine branded shoes efficiently?
Your shoes have to be well made and be completely free of any fault or flaw that may introduce discomfort. Examine shoes inside-out for stitching that is coming loose and if somehow you find any, leave that one and start looking for another pair of shoes. Minor issues such as these can be huge major sources of uneasiness and possible injury over thelong haul. Also, examine theintersection of upper and sole of a shoe. Try to peel them separately and if there's any separation, pick another shoe.
However, the sizes of tags and boxes on Shoes really mean very little, because sizes differ from model to model and from manufacturer to manufacturer as well. Use theadvice from the (expert) retail assistant to get a starting point and work up/down (size wise) to get your ideal pair of shoes. Remember, comfort and proper fit is amost important thing when choosing an exceptional quality pair of Shoes for your special occasion. Also, try to get a three-way fit. However, this isn't as complicated as it seems. Put simply, it means:
- Longest toes must clear the end of a shoe by approximately 5 - 15 mm
- Ball of foot must fit comfortably into widest part of a shoe
- Heel must fit snugly devoid of any slippage
After you've been up and down on the feet all day, running, walking, whatever your normal day entails, feet can easily swell by up to five percent between morning/night. Purchasing a shoe little early in a day can result in you buying a shoe that ends up pinching by end of a day. However, don't try to force your foot into Shoes which is too small or one that allows the foot to literally swim around inside a shoe. However, try to purchase shoes that you are comfortable with and consider your comfort as aprimary object because there are still few badly trained retailers who will try to increase the sale which they can use to trade you a pair of shoes which will tear apart in first use.
Picking a pair of shoes also requires same consideration as clothes

Kansas City – The newswires began buzzing around the planet today at about 10.00 CST, as the group draws for the 2014 FIFA World Cup took place in Brazil. To start, there are 8 groups of 4 teams competing. Each team will play 3 matches, one against the other teams in their group. The groups are as follows:
Group B: Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia.
Group C: Columbia, Greece, Côte d’Ivoire, Japan.
Group D: Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy.
Group E: Switzerland, Ecuador, France, Honduras.
Group F: Argentina, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Iran, Nigeria.
Group G: Germany, Portugal, USA, Ghana.
Group H: Belgium, Algeria, Russia, South Korea.
Now, as you may have noticed, if you’re reading from the United States, is that the Waldos have been put into a group that is so bad it could not have been devised by all the fiends of Hell. However, no matter what the outcome may be it will certainly be a good challenge for the USMNT, and if they are able to pull it off and make it out of the group, it will be the moment when the United States can say it has joined the top tier in the world of football. It’ll also be a fantastic thing for MLS, as the league is the source for many players for the national team during the recent victories in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, during which the USMNT went undefeated.
The USMNT will play the following matches in group stage. All times are Central Time (Chicago, Kansas City). The following comes from the BBC.
16 June 2014
Ghana v USA, Arena das Dunas, Natal, 17.00
22 June 2014
USA v Portugal, Arena Amazonia, Manaus, 15:00
26 June 2014
USA v Germany, Arena Pernambuco, Recife, 11:00
Meanwhile, our friends south of the border are in just as tough of a group. I feel sorry for Mexico more and more now a days, as their national team has gone from sorrow to sorrow, from a humiliating defeat in the Gold Cup, to being forced to play in a playoff against the All Whites of New Zealand just to punch their ticket for Brazil. If they do make it through the group stage, just as if the USMNT is able to overwhelm our 2010 nemesis Ghana and the two European powerhouses Germany and Portugal, I hope Jürgen decides to start Graham Zusi, after all México owes him a favour.
I Believe That We Will Win!!!!

“It is a privilege to serve the hardworking men, women and families of the 66th Legislative district in the state legislature,” Smith said.
“Our shared values are what guide me as Pennsylvania’s Speaker, and they are what drove me to help guide state government back on track after eight years of out-of-control spending and borrowing. We’ve taken the first steps to fiscal sanity, and the next steps are to restore Pennsylvania’s economy and create the jobs our families need, which will take discipline, commitment and experience.”
With a record of working with county and municipal officials, Smith said, “Good jobs continue to be the No. 1 one priority, and it is the main reason we are fighting to balance the development of the Marcellus gas industry with the rights and necessity we all have for clean water and air.”
As prime sponsor of the law that created the Environmental Stewardship Fund (Growing Greener program) Smith commented, “Acid mine drainage discharges and hundreds of acres of mine lands have been cleaned up through our work, but we must learn from mistakes of the past as we grow jobs and seek independence from foreign energy.”
Under Smith’s leadership, the House passed critical legislation aimed at restoring fiscal discipline to state government, helping make Pennsylvania more business-friendly to existing employers and those interested in starting businesses here, and preserving the values Pennsylvanians share, such as:
• Passed a balanced budget on time — for the first time in seven years — that didn’t raise taxes;
• In spite of billions of lost Federal stimulus dollars, focused state spending on priorities like education funding;
• Changing the state’s tort system to curb lawsuit abuse;
• Reforming the welfare system;
• Forced the repeal of the sprinkler mandate in new homes consistent with his long-standing opposition to the statewide building code;
• Led State House members to pay a portion of their own health care, like those in the private sector do;
• Created a comprehensive and easily searchable online database of state spending to make the budget process more transparent to protect taxpayers; and,
• Helped pass the Castle Doctrine to reinforce a person’s right to defend themselves, their families and their homes in the face of an attacker.
“I will continue to work to ensure state spending is focused on our priorities,” Smith said. “That’s why we demanded restoration of education funding from what the governor originally proposed last year.
We must demand that every state agency provide the services required while protecting taxpayers and staying out of the way of the men and women working to grow Pennsylvania’s economy.”
In looking back on his first year as speaker, Smith said, “In 2011, we were successful in improving Pennsylvania’s financial footing and beginning to blaze a path back toward economic recovery and job growth. However, I know the future has many challenges. That is why I hope to continue using my experience to work in Harrisburg for the policies that will help families and taxpayers here at home — initiatives that create jobs, economic growth and protect our values.” | <urn:uuid:fbda3aee-4d5f-4c4a-b0d1-237b082597a4> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.punxsutawneyspirit.com/content/house-speaker-sam-smith-announces-re-election-bid?quicktabs_2=2 | 2016-10-28T14:31:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988722653.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183842-00178-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.939454 | 712 |
By Brody Levesque | WASHINGTON -- The Washington Post has reported that four-term Loudoun County Virginia, Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling), one of the Washington region’s most controversial politicians and head of a Southern Poverty Law Center declared hate group, the Public Advocate of the United States, is under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for questionable campaign fund raising practices.
According to the Post, a former staffer in Delgaudio's Loudon County Supervisor offices, Donna Mateer, a part-time aide, was tasked by Delgaudio to perform fund raising duties that fell outside of those legally allowed under Virginia law and against county policies. Mateer told the Post that she came to believe that what she was doing was unethical. She filed a complaint with the county’s Human Resources Department in which she also alleged a hostile work environment.
Delgaudio has publicly denounced gay people as “perverts” and “freaks” and routinely injected himself into heated political battles across the country through his conservative nonprofit group, Public Advocate of the United States.
In particular, Delgaudio has used Public Advocate to rail against same-sex-marriage initiatives in various states and argue that federal anti-bullying legislation and even airport pat-downs are evidence of a “radical homosexual” agenda.
In Loudoun County, the veteran supervisor has long been viewed as something of an eccentric, but recently he has gained more widespread attention. This year, Public Advocate was designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. ~ The Washington Post
Wednesday the civil rights group announced that it filed a federal lawsuit in U. S. District Court in Denver, Colorado, alleging that Delgaudio's Public Advocate unlawfully used an altered version of a same-sex couple’s engagement photo on anti-gay-marriage campaign literature in Colorado.
Contacted Wednesday, Delgaudio declined to comment on the SPLC lawsuit.
In interviews,[With the Washington Post & other local media outlets.] Delgaudio maintained that he has done nothing wrong and strongly denied that he used any county resources to help benefit his political campaign, which would amount to a violation of a county policy that prohibits employees from engaging in political activities “during assigned working hours.”
For years, Delgaudio, 57, has been well known for his antics: Through his role as president of Public Advocate, he has also distributed a steady stream of newsletters and mass mailings advocating his conservative causes and frequently prompting condemnation from equality groups. One e-mail last year depicted a murder scene with blood stains in the colors of a rainbow, a symbol of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
The Post reports that Mateer had made copies of e-mails and documents, including the lists of names used to schedule fundraising appointments just prior to her being sacked by Delgaudio. She told the paper that she turned over those documents and evidence to the FBI agents, who interviewed her in late July about Delgaudio’s fundraising practices and his involvement with Public Advocate.
According to the Post, three other former aides said that they have also been recently questioned about Delgaudio by FBI agents. Spokesmen for the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Virginia both said they could neither confirm nor deny an investigation.
Delgaudio reacted by telling the paper he did not see a problem with having Public Advocate work so closely with his county office, noting that his employees have to coordinate with one another to keep track of where he is and what he needs to do. “You’re going to micromanage how I conduct my two jobs?” Delgaudio said. “I think that’s really absurd.” | <urn:uuid:39c01b70-3edf-47f9-9e75-6b18ac88199b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://brodylevesque.blogspot.com/2012/09/brodys-notes-washington-post-fbi.html | 2013-05-26T00:49:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368706474776/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516121434-00053-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976809 | 784 |
Meet the people who make our world go ‘round.
Owner/executive creative director
Sandeigh has been a musician for over 20 years. If you ask her, she’ll say there’s nothing more powerful than music and that beauty will save the world.
She cut her teeth on classic country as a little girl and began to find her voice in the punk bands she fronted and played in as a teen. Touring with bands over the years coupled with a deep involvement in thriving music scenes throughout DFW, Austin, Denton, and Denver have shaped a desire in her to bring artists together.
Realizing the need to create a unique space for a community of musicians & artists to flourish in her home of New Braunfels, Sandeigh decided the GR family was the place to see this dream come to life. Once you begin a project at the studio, she’ll be your lighthouse.
In addition to building two other successful businesses, she’s a founder of Gruene Records and has way too many plants.
Obsessed from an early age, Drew’s passion for music and art has always been his compass.
It led him to Texas State University where he graduated with honors from the Sound Recording Technology program. After being awarded his degree, Drew went to work for Rupert Neve Designs, where for over 9 years, he helped bring to market some of the best known pieces of gear in the recording industry. Ready to make the leap from making tools for people making music to actually making music, Drew moved on to become a founder of Gruene Records.
His knowledge of music and production are invaluable tools in helping you craft your next project. He has a special passion for guiding artists through the process of taking their creations further and helping them achieve the next level.
When he’s not behind the console, he’s usually behind a comic book.
Director of Cinematography
Whether on the big screen or small, Chris knows how to make you look good.
He’s spent the last 10 years honing his skills producing and creating all types of media. In addition to being a cinematography pro, he’s an accomplished guitarist of over 20 years, some of which were spent on the road.
Luckily for the GR family, Chris decided to join the team when the concept was just beginning to take shape and has helped mold the culture and direction of the studio. He brings current knowledge of the ever-changing media game to table on each project, along with an eye for detail.
Director of Photography
Courtney has been a successful photographer, videographer and designer since 2005. She brings an imaginative take to all our projects and her ability to see “what can be” is such an asset to our team.
She’s worked on many different commercial sets over the years, both behind the camera as well as in directorial and assistant directorial roles.
When Court’s not shooting or editing video and photos, she’s probably cooking something amazing or in her garden with her kids.
Will joined our team as an intern 3 years ago and we immediately knew he was meant to be part of our family. Aside from tracking and recording in-studio, Will joins us on location to ensure we always have the very best sound, no matter the project or location.
He graduated from the Sound Recording Technology program at Texas State and brings a fresh perspective to all of our work.
Will is rarely spotted without a cold brew coffee in hand.
Chris fell in love with video about a decade ago. He’s been shooting and creating in earnest for the last 5 years. From corporate training videos to documentary footage, to full-blown music videos, he has his hands in all types of film.
He’s also taken a turn at the helm of some of our projects as a director and an assistant director.
When Chris isn’t behind the lens, he’s probably behind a bass guitar or taking care of his pythons. | <urn:uuid:e1f0adbc-dc9b-443e-9357-1ad55b0d467d> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://gruenerecords.com/staff/ | 2021-09-23T02:30:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057416.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20210923013955-20210923043955-00187.warc.gz | en | 0.97273 | 837 |

Working in a small space requires fewer materials and allows you to splurge, says Nestor. To the right of the sink lies the most striking element—a floor-to-ceiling light box, inspired by the foliage of Central Park. With the light display, the leather wall tiles and the slate floor, this is a room guests won’t soon forget.
In this preppy-chic space, inspired by legendary designer Dorothy Draper, a saturated celery green jumps off the walls. The master bath opens up to a terrace that moonlights as a party spot and is furnished accordingly. A tall black cabinet, lined with graphic wallpaper and adorned with Anthropologie pulls, is a fresh approach to storage. A mirrored vanity doubles as a wet bar during parties.
They don’t call it a vanity for nothing. This idyllic boudoir was created with one thing in mind: looking good. Soft, natural light enters through the connected private terrace through gauzy window sheers, and reflects off the mirrored doors that flank the table, creating a glow cast from several angles—a true Hollywood trick-of-the-trade. The vanity’s mother-of-pearl inlay shimmers in the light. “This room just sparkles,” Nestor says, “It makes you look your absolute best.”
Open Air Flair
This door-less bathroom defies traditional ideas of privacy and seclusion. Hanging from a ceiling track, the sexy silver mesh curtain is all that separates the bathroom and closet from the connecting bedroom. “It’s got a lot of attitude,” Nestor says. “It confronts many of our notions of how a bathroom should be.” Grey marble turns a former closet into the centralized shower. A strategically placed towel rack offers the only bit of privacy when using the toilet.
“A traditional room can still be a show-stopper,” Nestor says. Here, an Italian artist adapted the motifs in the Crillon Room in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (an octagonal boudoir from an 18th century French mansion that features boiserie paneling). Nodding to something classic and decorative, these hand-painted panels make the room whimsical and memorable. The boiserie is broken up with the addition of mirrors that reflect light and add a bit of glam.
“What is very sophisticated about this space is its sense of humor and sarcasm,” Nestor says. An ode to reclaimed objects, the room features a sink that once was a washbasin in a school lavatory. Two mirrors, made from bicycle tires, hang above. Since it serves four boys, “Wash Your Hands” is stenciled in between the faucets. The result is a utilitarian space that tickles and delights. As Nestor says, “High-end luxury is all about attitude.”
This all-marble bathroom serves as an escape from the hot Florida sun that shines into the rest of the house. “It feels like you are enveloped in this cocoon of Italian Carrara marble,” Nestor says. Even with no natural light, the room remains bright, with recessed overheads that reflect off the walls and the tub; it is said to be modeled after a hollowed river rock. The shower door opens via a cutaway edge, without disturbing the overwhelming view of marble. A showerhead that mimics rain, paired with a standard wall-mount, offers extravagance and function.

Agent Orange consequences to be overcome by 2020
http://english.vietnamnet.vn/fms/society/48561/agent-orange-consequences-to-be-overcome-by-2020.html VietNamNet Bridge – The Viet Nam-US Dialogue Group has announced its aim to overcome the consequences of Agent Orange (AO) and dioxin in Viet Nam by 2020 at the seventh meeting of the Viet Nam-US Joint Advisory Council (JAC) yesterday, Sept 20. The two-day JAC meeting will review the handling of AO and dioxin environmental hotspots, humanitarian activities and dioxin treatment technologies. The next five years will be key towards achieving the group's goal, starting with the treatment of dioxin contaminated soil at Da Nang Airport in 2012. In addition, the US Agency for International Development will provide more support for dioxin victims. The national steering committee on overcoming the consequences of toxic chemicals used by the US during the war in Viet Nam has drafted a plan focusing on detoxification treatment of hotspots, prevention of exposure to dioxin, provision of support for locals living near hotspots, and better services for AO and dioxin victims. The Viet Nam-US Dialogue Group brings together both Vietnamese and American individuals, scientists and policymakers, with a view to mobilising resources to deal with the consequences of AO/dioxin in Viet Nam. By the end of last year, the group raised US$91 million for the clean-up of dioxin in Da Nang, Bien Hoa and Phu Cat. Of the sum, one third went to health care programmes in eight provinces nationwide, benefiting 20,000 people with disabilities. The group's activities have so far helped bring about positive changes. On December 22, 2011, US President Obama signed an Act on Budget Allocation for 2012, under which, $15 million was given to tackling dioxin hotspots in Da Nang airport and US$5 million went to a health care programme targeting dioxin-contaminated areas. Last year, the Vietnamese Government also pledged to invest VND28 billion ($1.3 million) in caring for AO and dioxin-infected victims in Friendship Village. So far, the biological dioxin treatment technology has been applied successfully at Da Nang airport. It is expected to be used in other large-scale areas in the coming time. | <urn:uuid:2951b87b-c24f-4974-8a99-0e243bc813e0> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://agentorangezone.blogspot.com/2012/09/agent-orange-consequences-to-be.html | 2017-11-24T20:37:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808935.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124195442-20171124215442-00184.warc.gz | en | 0.931993 | 512 |

The big business of Japan’s pachinko parlours
Taniguchi swapped the tray of thousands of winning silver balls for a receipt, which in turn was swappable for alcohol, toys or other prizes. To get money, you need to ask for the “special prize” tokens. These are plastic gold-coloured tokens that can be swapped for cash -- but not within the pachinko parlour. Instead, they are cashed in at TUC shops that are always located nearby and exist as a legal loophole enabling you to win money in a country that technically forbids gambling. The exchange of prizes for cash was once controlled by the yakuza (Japanese mafia), but has been cleaned up by the police, who now regulate it in this way.
It sounds elaborate for a game, but pachinko is both big business and a national obsession – there are more than 12,500 pachinko halls in Japan, some with slot machines, which together make four times as much profit as all the rest of the world’s legal casino gambling combined. The game itself generates 30 trillion yen profit a year for the pachinko companies.
Setsuko Chiba was introduced to pachinko by her husband. When they split up, she continued to play regularly for 15 years, using it as supplementary income to support her family. “It was part of the same chain – pachinko, cigarettes and cans of coffee,” explained Chiba. Trolleys laden with drinks and food for sale are continuously pushed around the parlours, encouraging people to stay longer. Like other pros, she targeted new machines -- which are programmed to give out frequent winnings over the first few days to attract new customers -- and her average win was around 70,000 yen on a good day. She also made large losses, and over the years her teeth and eyesight declined from neglect and hours spent at the machines. When her children complained of her long absences, it was a wake up call. She used her winnings to transition toward a more legitimate use of her gambling skills, becoming a self-employed stockbroker. She gave up smoking and pachinko at the same time, two taboos for Japanese women.
Now 58, Chiba represents a new market that the pachinko giants want to capture – female players who want to play this stress-relieving game but without any stigma. Quieter, cleaner parlours are opening up where balls can be bought for just one yen each (rather than the usual four yen) with smaller potential winnings to switch the focus onto the game itself rather than gambling. Many modern mega-parlours, such as Maruhan (28-6 Utagawacho Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; 03-5458-3905) now offer smoke-free areas, following the lead of international brands in Japan like McDonalds and Starbucks. Prizes, such as handbags, are also targeting women. P-ARK Ginza (5-12-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; 03-3546-0003) even has pamphlets with pachinko instructions in English to attract tourists to the game. A visit to any pachinko parlour is still a very Japanese experience, but in the future it may look more like a family-friendly Las Vegas casino. | <urn:uuid:4d1c8963-e928-40b3-b30b-c011b27ab420> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20120815-the-big-business-of-japans-pachinko-parlours/2 | 2013-12-05T09:12:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163043081/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204131723-00078-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969196 | 708 |
I keep thinking about how, after
the fruit--they didn't lie
to one another. They didn't envy, he didn't reach
out to strangle her
neck, to stop the blood
Instead, it seems the snakey lie
money, or last name.
It was their bodies
that sent them hiding
in the chest-high bushes.
They were naked.
Nipple, hair, crease.
They were ashamed.
And after He found them, as the evening cooled,
(because who could hide from Who Created),
he shook His all-knowing head at the leaves
cobbled together, tied with vines or stitched with
fir needles. children children,
there's hail, wind and dust.
He wrapped them in hides, skins to protect
And sent them out to battle this:
souls and thorns, labor pains,
one another. To stop
the blood pulsing there. | <urn:uuid:63628e77-9fc0-4570-bcc3-3cbf49bb32ab> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.bethbrownables.com/bethbrownables/2016/4/19/100-poems-100-days | 2019-06-26T09:59:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000266.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626094111-20190626120111-00058.warc.gz | en | 0.973615 | 201 |
In addition to Ken Jennings and that lady who won $1 million for knowing that the “LEA_ _ _A_CET” that could be found around the house was a “LEAKY FAUCET,” you can now count KLAS-TV, Channel 8 among the biggest “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune” winners yet.
Viewership is up across the board at the local CBS affiliate since it began airing the popular game shows in September.
“We’re getting higher ratings for those two programs on our station than they had on their previous station,” said Emily T. Neilson, KLAS president and general manager.
According to The Nielsen Company’s numbers from the recently completed November sweeps period, “Wheel” and “Jeopardy!” are up 26 percent and 18 percent, respectively, over November 2012.
“But it also reminded people that, ‘Hey, there’s a really top-quality news organization over here. Oh, and I like this program, and I like this program,’ ” Neilson continued. “And it just kind of reinvigorates the viewers that may not have watched us as frequently as they did in the past.”
That “previous station” is KSNV-TV, Channel 3, which dropped the shows, two of the most coveted properties in syndication, as part of its decision to concentrate on local news.
KSNV owner Jim Rogers “felt that in order to survive whatever the future is of local television,” that meant “doing local news and doing a lot of it,” said Lisa Howfield, KSNV vice president and general manager.
To make way for a 3-8 p.m. daily news block, KSNV ended its longtime association with the game shows and sent “Days of Our Lives” to KVCW-TV, Channel 33, where its ratings have risen 13 percent.
Calling the new lineup “still a work in progress,” Howfield declared she’s “really proud of what I’m seeing on the air. And (Rogers) has made it very clear: Don’t worry about the numbers, worry about the content, worry about putting on something that you can be proud of. And I think that we have accomplished that.”
KSNV has made some gains in the afternoons. By moving “The Doctors” and “Dr. Phil” up an hour to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m., ratings in those time slots have increased 57 percent and 180 percent, respectively. And the 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. newscasts have seen modest gains of 0.8 percent and 1.3 percent.
But by giving up “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel,” KSNV’s ratings at 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. have plunged 60 and 62 percent.
That 60 percent drop has made “Ralston Reports” look particularly vulnerable in its new time. With the “Jeopardy!” move, KSNV went from dominant to dominated at 6:30 p.m. This November, “Jeopardy!” averaged a 6.36 rating compared to “Ralston’s” 2.17. (Each ratings point represents 7,260 homes.)
“It’s gonna be tough,” Howfield said, “but the station remains committed to having at least one program — if not more in the future, who knows — that’s committed to looking at the issues and getting people on the air to talk about them one-on-one.”
One program that fit that bill, “The Agenda,” has been canceled. But with its new time slot, “Ralston’s” ratings actually rose 6 percent from 2.05 to 2.17, and Howfield said there are no plans to replace it with something more competitive.
As the only local station with a 7 p.m. newscast, KSNV is taking a ratings hit against entertainment programming. But, Howfield says, “right now, it’s competing pretty well, at least in the back half (hour) of the newscast.”
Averaging a 2.31 rating, that second half hour of news falls behind “Entertainment Tonight” (KLAS; 4.41), the telenovela “Corazon Indomable” (KINC-TV, Channel 15; 3.61), “Two and a Half Men” (KVMY-TV, Channel 21; 3.31), “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” (KTNV-TV, Channel 13; 2.98) and “TMZ” (KVVU-TV, Channel 5; 2.98).
While local news is less expensive to produce than licensing syndicated programs, Howfield stressed that the shift wasn’t as cheap as it sounds. KSNV has added reporters, camera operators, editors and other production personnel for a total of about 25 new jobs.
“So far, we’re doing OK,” she said. “Our advertisers are happy. You just have to price it right. For most advertisers, it’s not about being No. 1. It’s about being efficient.”
By that, she means, unlike rigid syndicated shows, news programs allow the station to add more commercial time if necessary, which keeps advertisers’ cost-per-ratings point affordable.
On a positive note, Howfield touts the station’s successes with “Today,” “Wake Up with the Wagners” and weekends. As for weekday afternoons, though, you can expect even more local news in the years ahead.
KSNV is relinquishing “Dr. Phil,” far and away the station’s biggest hit between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., to KLAS next fall. And the station still plans to get rid of “Rachael Ray” and “The Doctors” when their contracts expire in fall 2016. Barring any other changes, that would clear the path for a staggering 11½ hours of local news each weekday.
“We feel if we do good enough stories,” Howfield said, “the viewers will come.”
Those changes almost certainly will shake up local ratings yet again. But they may not have as profound an impact as “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune,” which have improved KLAS’ 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. ratings by 130 percent and 175 percent, respectively.
As part of the halo effect, the 7:30 p.m. slot is up 68 percent with “Entertainment Tonight,” and ratings for the KLAS afternoon and evening newscasts have increased an average of 35 percent.
Still, KLAS’ Neilson says the station “took a long time” to study whether adding the game shows was the right move.
“In the end, we came to the analysis that, if a different competitor picked up those programs, say the ABC or the Fox affiliate, it really didn’t mean much for us. It just meant that our closest competitor shifted from being (KSNV) to another one.
“But if we could pick them up and combine that with our strengths — we were already No. 1 in prime time, we were already No. 1 in most of the newscasts, we already had very, very strong syndicated — if we could add these two … it would just shoot us to the head of the pack. And that’s exactly what has happened.”

A DUP Councillor's son has been given a jail warning and banned from following Coleraine FC for four years after pleading guilty to his latest act of football hooliganism.
Aaron Fielding appeared at Coleraine Magistrates Court on Friday and admitted a charge of disorderly behaviour which occurred when a mob of up to 50 Coleraine fans confronted Linfield supporters after a dramatic league game earlier this year.
Fielding, 21, of Cromlech Park, Portstewart, was at the front of the gang which was spotted by police moving towards an exit at Coleraine Showgrounds where Linfield fans were leaving on Saturday February 20 this year.
Coleraine had been beating Linfield 2-0 in a league game but dramatically lost 3-2 with the winner coming just six minutes from the end.
Fielding is the son of Mark Fielding, who is a Democratic Unionist Party councillor on Coleraine-based Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council.
Aaron Fielding had been set to contest his case at court on Friday but pleaded guilty at the last moment.
A prosecutor said police were on duty at the Coleraine versus Linfield match and at 4.55pm as the game ended they spotted around 40-50 Coleraine supporters approaching the Linfield exit.
The Coleraine fans were shouting abuse at Linfield supporters and at the head of the group Fielding was "highly agitated, aggressive and hostile".
He was warned by police he would be arrested if he didn't calm down but continued to shout abuse and ran towards Linfield fans in an "aggressive stance" with his arms out and fists clenched which the prosecutor said provoked some Linfield supporters to run across the road towards him.
Defence solicitor Derwin Harvey said his client is currently serving a Community Service Order for a previous offence.
A prosecutor said Fielding had previous football-related convictions.
Mr Harvey asked the judge to consider suspending any jail term if his client accepted a banning order.
District Judge Liam McNally noted Fielding's record and said he was very close to receiving a custodial term.
The prosecutor said she was applying for a Football Banning Order and said the minimum is three years and the maximum five and a previous case at the court saw a four year ban handed out.
Judge McNally told Fielding: "You have a bad record and it appears when you get to football matches you lose all sense."
He imposed a four months jail term suspended for two years and banned Fielding from following Coleraine FC for four years.
As part of the Football Banning Order he is not allowed to be within a mile of any ground when Coleraine are playing and he is also banned from being within one mile of Coleraine Showgrounds from two hours before until two hours after any game.
The judge told Fielding: "It is time to bring this record to an end."
Police have been attempting to crack down on trouble surrounding a small element of fans at Coleraine games.
The vast majority of fans regularly criticise the actions of the trouble-makers.
Recently a member of a fans group, who call themselves the 'Coleraine Casual Army,' became the first person in Northern Ireland to be given a four year Football Banning Order after he was disorderly near the Coleraine Showgrounds on Boxing Day last year when Coleraine played derby rivals Ballymena United.
In April 2015 Aaron Fielding was given a one year conditional discharge when he admitted a charge of disorderly behaviour in connection with an Irish League game between Coleraine and bitter rivals Ballymena.
Ballymena Magistrates Court was told there was tension between rival sets of football fans after they exited a big Boxing Day derby at Ballymena Showgrounds Stadium in 2014.
Police were observing around 200 rival fans on opposite sides of the road in the Broughshane Street area and Fielding was taunting opposition supporters by shouting abuse at them and also police.
Fielding was also previously in court for disorderly behaviour and resisting police which arose from his yobbish behaviour after a Coleraine versus Shamrock Rovers Setanta Cup game in Coleraine in 2013 which had landed him a £300 fine.
The solicitor told the court in 2015 Fielding was working in a restaurant and was once Employee of the Month.
Outside Coleraine Court on Friday, Fielding did not wish to make any comment to the press. | <urn:uuid:9bad6317-40a5-47d2-b7b2-457481e22813> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/belfast-news/dup-councillors-son-banned-following-11742393 | 2017-05-29T13:33:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612327.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529130450-20170529150450-00222.warc.gz | en | 0.979732 | 922 |

The deep and rich shades that inhabit the area between crimson and violet have many names but, bundled together, they are most commonly referred to as purple. In ancient times the Phoenicians alone new the secret of dying fabrics purple and kept the secret for centuries.
If you wanted their deep shade of purple, known as Tyrian, you had to trade with them. Purple was, therefore, strongly associated with high value and status. It became the chosen hue for Roman emperors’ togas. Nowadays, purple still retains an association with plush furnishings and even opulence.
After that, mid toned purples seemed to be used everywhere, from upholstery to wall coverings. However, being a darker tone, purple is less fashionable in contemporary homes. Nonetheless, it can be applied well in living spaces, so long as you use it thoughtfully.
The Coordinated Look.
Purples come in a range of tones but they all work well with one another in an interior design. For a living room, this can help you achieve a coordinated look without too much need for color swatches and experimentation. For a living room that has purple walls, drapes and floor coverings, use plenty of whites to highlight the room.
This will stop it from becoming too dark which can lead to an oppressive feel. Pick a wall or a wall feature, such as a chimney breast, to create an accent, with patterned wallpaper that creates contrast against painted purple walls. Use darker purple tones for your carpet or rugs and lighter ones for your soft furnishings upholstery. Purple can create a glamorous, and sometimes feminine, look. Add a touch of sliver sparkle to create an even approach.
Twin Purple Hearts.
Getting a fully purple living room right is quite tricky, but using it more sparingly is much easier. Choose only two features in your room for the purple treatment and the rest of the room’s design will often fall into place. For instance, try a purple chandelier set against a matching twin seater sofa in an otherwise plain design.
Alternatively, coordinate a purple accent wall with cushions on a gray seat. Purple drapes with one or two upholstered items of furniture often go well together, as does a purple ceiling. For the twin-feature look, also try a pair of chairs that have the same purple tone as a light fitting. Alternatively, use upholstery that coordinates with the lavender colors of a piece of wall hung art.
Natural And Blended Tones.
Purple can look so vibrant at times that you may think it has no place in the relaxing environment of your living room. If so, go for a purple that has been blended, or flecked, with another color to bring the intensity level down a touch. Gray is the perfect color to use for this purpose as it works so well with purple. Try a more naturalistic look for your wall treatments by blending purple or mauve paint with gray, too.
Create blocks of dynamic color with purple upholstery for your seats. This works particularly well when contrasting against pure white. Coordinate purple upholstery with cushions and banquette seating covers. If you have one item of furniture that is purple, coordinate the look with foot stall or an ottoman, as well as cushion covers.
You can create some stunning purple looks with LED lighting, which will make a living room seem utterly up to date. Rather than purple furnishings, which can sometimes feel like they hark to a bygone era, purple lighting has a sophisticated feel. Avoid ultra-violet, however, and go for a warmer tone of purple. | <urn:uuid:3b17831c-2722-419b-bdb4-032ac81f03eb> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.homedit.com/how-to-use-purple-in-stunning-looking-living-rooms/ | 2021-12-05T01:32:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363134.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205005314-20211205035314-00113.warc.gz | en | 0.950092 | 769 |
Checking references is one of the most valuable and important pre-employment checks you can make. A careful approach can help you recruit the right people, while avoiding damage to your organisation’s performance, morale and staff turnover.
You also need to make sure your approach to references is legal and ethical.
And when you outsource the hiring process to a recruitment agency, it’s vital to make sure references are still being used properly. Here are some useful ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ to help you get references right.
DO: Request references only after making the job offer
It’s good practice to request a reference after you’ve interviewed the candidate and offered them the job. One reason is that reading references could influence how you perceive the candidate at interview. Another is respect for the candidate, who may not wish their employer to know they’re looking for another job until necessary.
DON’T: Be careless about requesting references
You should however always request references before inking a new employment contract. Without references, you’re much more likely to make a costly recruitment misstep. The damage to your organisation could include higher recruitment costs, reduced morale, and legal issues.
DO: Carry out other due diligence
The bare minimum for conducting pre-employment checks is to establish that your new hire has the right to work in the UK, and doesn’t have a problematic criminal past.
You have wide discretion within the law to decide not to hire someone based on their previous behaviour. Evidence of past theft, fraud, violence, bullying and even failure to follow safety procedures are all valid reasons to reject a prospective employee.
DON’T: Share ‘blacklists’ of unsuitable employees
If you discover a valid reason to reject a potential recruit during your reference process, it’s quite reasonable to keep this information on file for future reference. You can also share information with the CIFAS Staff Fraud Database, a scheme that helps organisations vet employees.
However, you should make sure such lists are not ‘blacklists’ — in other words, lists that discriminate against groups of people based on certain characteristics such as trade union membership. Blacklisting is unlawful under the Employment Relations Act.
DO: Vet potential hires on social media
Social media has become a valuable tool for making pre-employment checks. Public posts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and so on can reveal a great deal about the personality and activities of prospective employees. In many cases, candidates will include links to social media profiles on their CV. So with just a little research, you can gain a valuable insight into potential recruits.
DON’T: Believe everything you read
While references and social media are useful, they can also be an unreliable sources. While references are indispensable, today many employers choose not to make negative comments about departing employees, for fear of legal conflicts. CVs can also be problematic — many people admit to lying or exaggerating their achievements on their CV.
You should always check candidate information as thoroughly as possible, and make decisions based on evidence rather than hearsay.
DO: Share rejection reasons with the applicant
If you decide to reject a candidate based on evidence from a reference, tell them the reasons why. Include the relevant phrases from the reference, social media page or other source.
DON’T: Be too trusting with partner agencies
Recent research shows around half of organisations now think of agencies as useful recruitment partners.
While agencies can lighten the load during recruitment, the responsibility for handling references ethically and legally may still be yours. Make sure you partner with reputable companies and don’t be afraid to ask for details of their methods, including evidence, if necessary. | <urn:uuid:3dca535f-ccd6-4733-be80-5b5255c71a4b> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://www.brighthr.com/brightbase/topic/hiring/references/the-dos-and-don-ts-of-prospective-employee-references | 2017-04-24T22:53:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917119995.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031159-00359-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948136 | 774 |
How to Get the Most Out of a Free
A free credit casino is a great way to test out a new gambling site before you
commit to a real money account Victory996. Whether you’re new to online casinos or have
played a few times, free credit can make your next gambling adventure a breeze.
You can play as much or as little as you want, and you’ll never have to worry about
losing your money.
Most free credit casinos offer a wide variety of games, including slot machines,
roulette, blackjack, and poker. These games are fun to play, and you can use your
credits to practice your skills and increase your bankroll. Some free credit casinos
even offer video tutorials that can teach you how to play a certain game.
Free credit casinos are a great way for beginners to learn the ins and outs of the
games they play. Unlike traditional land-based casinos, you can play from home or
on the go, and you don’t have to worry about robbery or being cheated. The best
part is that you can practice on a free credit casino for as long as you like, without
risking your own money.
Free credit casinos are also a great way for beginners to try out different types of
games before they decide to commit to a real money account. For example, if you’re
trying out a blackjack game, you can practice on the demo version of the game,
before you play on your real money account. This gives you the chance to figure out
what strategy works for you. Taking the time to learn how to play a game can save
you from being a sloppy player, and it can help you win big in an online casino.
In order to get the most out of a free credit casino, you should read the terms and
conditions. Most casinos are a lot more accommodating than their land-based

you understand the rules and restrictions, and if you have any questions, be sure to
ask. By doing so, you’ll be able to avoid any legal pitfalls and have a better chance
of enjoying your gambling experience.
Online gambling is a popular pastime. It offers players the chance to enjoy their
favorite games on the computer, tablet, or phone, without having to leave the
comfort of their own homes. And because most of these sites are open 24 hours a
day, you can always play when you’re ready. Compared to a land-based casino,
online casinos offer more games and a higher degree of security. With so many
options available, you’re sure to find an online casino that you’ll love.
While you’re at it, be sure to check out the promotions and bonuses that the casino
has to offer. Many will provide you with a bonus of some kind, and you can usually
claim multiple bonus balances as you play. But be sure to remember that if you’re
playing for real money, you’ll have to make your first deposit before you can cash
out.

The following post is a customer story submitted to our Advocacy program by Robert Dauberman. We are incredibly thankful to Robert for sharing his story with us and allowing us to share it with you. Read on for Andy’s experience choosing and using Parallels Access to great effect!
South Bloomfield Police Department, Ohio USA
Robert Dauberman has served on the South Bloomfield Division of Police for six years and has been in law enforcement for a total of twelve years. Sgt. Dauberman has been involved in law enforcement/security management for over fourteen years and has had prior experience in the security/investigations industry as a Director of Operations. He is currently assigned as the Second Shift Patrol Supervisor over patrol officers and the N.I.C.E. Neighborhoods Unit, and is also the supervisor of all bike patrol officers.
“Our officers patrol in the Village of South Bloomfield, Ohio. We are a small department that has the opportunity to try and locate low-cost and beneficial resources and put into use innovative technological advances to better offer and provide services to our community. With the added benefit of a major highway, US 23, coming through our jurisdiction, we have taken the direction of utilizing iPads in replacement of our tough books.
I looked over the benefits of Parallels Access and tested it on my iPad while connecting to my MDT at my office and thought it would definitely assist us in our patrol cruiser iPad transition. Now, our tough books primarily stay at our office and we use Parallels Access to access them via our iPads. This has reduced clutter in our cruisers (which is tight to begin with) and reduced downtime, from rebooting to just moving to another available MDT while in the field if needed and making our officers more mobile with better equipment.”
In addition to iPads, Robert also mentioned that they’ve had some requests from officers who wish that they were able to use Parallels Access from their iPhones. But overall, he says Parallels Access has been a huge benefit to the officers in the field and a common topic for other agencies that have come to see what they’re doing and how.
“Parallels Access has been extremely useful in allowing our patrol officers to keep their MDTs in the main office and access all data via their iPads while being mobile. With laptops secure in the office, connections remain strong and constant.”

Chess Informant, printed and published in Belgrade, is the world's leading high level chess publication. It comes out twice a year and contains at least the 500 most important grandmaster chess games played during the preceding six months. The games are deeply annotated by some of the world's leading grandmasters. Every chess master in the world considers Chess Informant to be required reading, to keep up with the latest developments in chess theory.
Chess Informant is also the biggest selling item by the United States Chess Federation. As a result, when the War in Bosnia was declared and the United Nations imposed sanctions which prohibited commercial contacts with Yugoslavia, this was a major financial blow to the United States Chess Federation, because of the profits lost due to not being able legally to purchase Chess Informants from Yugoslavia.
Al Lawrence, who was at that time Executive Director of the United States Chess Federation, got around this by making a deal with the Yugoslavs. The USCF would order the Chess Informants from Yugoslavia now and the books would be shipped, but the USCF would not pay now yet and would wait until the War in Bosnia was over and the sanctions were lifted.
This agreement stayed in effect for several years. By 1996, when the War in Bosnia was over and sanctions were lifted, the USCF owed $235,000 (two hundred thirty five thousand dollars) to the Yugoslavs.
However, Al Lawrence still did not pay the money. Instead, he delayed. Finally, after this issue was raised by Tom Dorsch, who at that time was a Lawrence opponent, Lawrence on behalf of the USCF retained as legal counsel in Washington, DC, a high priced lobbying firm specializing is legal issues pertaining to the UN sanctions on Yugoslavia.
After a personal meeting with a high official of the Treasury Department, this Washington DC law firm sent a letter to the USCF stating that it was legal to pay the Yugoslavs. The law firm charged the USCF $60,000 in legal fees for this advice.
However, Lawrence still did not pay the Yugoslavs. This time, he had a better reason: The USCF did not have the money. The $235,000 which the USCF owed for the Chess Informants had long since been spent by Al Lawrence for other purposes.
Al Lawrence resigned in August 1996, just hours before he was about to be fired by Tom Dorsch, who had just been elected USCF Treasurer and who was a bitter opponent of Lawrence. However, in the hours before resigning, Lawrence signed a contract with his self-appointed successor, George Filippone, which made Filippone the Acting Executive Director of the USCF. This contract provided Filippone with a Golden Parachute in case the newly elected USCF policy board tried to remove Filippone.
Filippone also refused to pay the Yugoslavs, presumably for the same reason: No money. Filippone was strongly opposed by Tom Dorsch, who revealed on the Internet the non-payment to the Yugoslavs. Previously, the fact that the Yugoslavs had not been paid for their Chess Informants had not been revealed to the chess playing public.
Filippone was forced out after only six months in office, but the USCF was required to pay him $60,000 in severance, which was the amount which the contract which Lawrence had given to Filippone required that Filippone be paid under the Golden Parachute. Lawrence also received a substantial buyout. The total amount paid to Lawrence and Filippone combined to get rid of them was about $200,000.
Mike Cavallo came into office. Realizing that the USCF had a moral and legal obligation to pay the Yugoslavs for the Chess Informants, he scraped together the money and paid them. However, instead of paying the full $235,000 which was owed, Cavallo paid only $175,000, because of deducting the $60,000 which had been paid to the Washington DC lobbying firm.
The Yugoslavs objected to this but in the end they decided that receiving $175,000 was better than receiving nothing at all.
Later, the political forces in US Chess became realigned and Tom Dorsch, the strongest opponent of Al Lawrence, switched sides and became a Lawrence ally. Suddenly, Dorsch was attending Policy board meetings and saying that Cavallo had overpaid the Yugoslavs and could have gotten away with paying far less.
This, of course, was true. In fact, the USCF could probably have gotten away with paying nothing at all, because during the period when Dorsch was accusing Cavallo of overpaying the Yugoslavs, US bombs were falling on Belgrade.
However, all chess players throughout the world owe a great debt to the Yugoslavs. Yugoslavia was the number one country in the world in terms of supporting the development of chess. More international chess tournaments involving more grandmasters took place in Yugoslavia than anywhere else.
The biggest irony is that meanwhile, the greatest American chess player, Bobby Fischer, has been twisting slowly, slowly in the wind. Bobby was indicted for playing a chess match against Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia for money which, it was claimed, was a violation of UN sanctions and an Executive Order by President George Bush. However, it was not a violation. The UN Sanctions specifically exempted sporting matches. Many professional football teams went to Yugoslavia and played games there and Yugoslavia sent teams to other countries and received professional fees, all without incident.
However, what the USCF did was clearly illegal. Buying chess books from Yugoslavia in large quantities resulting in a debt of $235,000 was clearly a violation of UN Sanctions.
Also, as long a the USCF was paying a high priced law firm a fee of $60,000 and all it got in return was a letter from that law firm stating that it could legally pay the money it owed, why not ask the same law firm to get the criminal indictment against Bobby Fischer lifted?
In his Internet postings of the last few days, Al Lawrence has repeatedly said that the fee of $60,000 was necessary to "free up" the money. This implies that the money was in some sort of esgrow account. This was not true. The funds were for a time in a separate bank account, but were later co-mingled with other operating funds of the USCF. Also, Al Lawrence brags about how his years with the USCF were profitable, but that the USCF lost money under Cavallo. However, Al Lawrence had a cushion, because he did not pay his debts. He had an extra $235,000 in the USCF bank account, because the USCF was refusing to pay for the books it had ordered and profitably sold. Had Al Lawrence not had that extra $235,000, the USCF would have been in severe financial difficulty and might even have been out of business.
Al Lawrence also fails to deal with the fact that the contract he signed with Filippone, which made Filippone his successor and awarded Filippone a Golden Parachute, was very likely illegal because the USCF Policy Board was never informed of this contract. It was only months later when the Policy Board was trying to fire Filippone that Filippone produced this contract which had been signed by Lawrence and which provided that Filippone was to receive a payment of $60,000 in case he was fired.
Al Lawrence also fails to mention that under Cavallo, the USCF paid both the $200,000 in severance to Al Lawrence and George Filippone and the $175,000 to the Yugoslavs, both of these being debts caused by Al Lawrence. Had Cavallo not been required to pay this $375,000, the USCF would have been in much better financial shape.
Below are some recent quotes by Al Lawrence.
I will take this opportunity to mention that developments which have occurred during the past three weeks lead me to believe that the criminal indictment by the Government of the United States against Bobby Fischer has been dropped. However, I am not at liberty to reveal what these developments were.

RAILROAD MAINTENANCE AND INDUSTRIAL HEALTH AND WELFARE FUND, Plaintiff,
INDUSTRIAL CONTRACTING SERVICES, INC., Defendant.
RICHARD MILLS, District Judge.
Pending before the Court are Motions for Summary Judgment filed by the Plaintiff and the Defendant.
This is an action pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 1145. Plaintiff Railroad Maintenance and Industrial Health and Welfare Fund is an employee benefit plan administered pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which created the Fund. The Plaintiff filed this action against Defendant Industrial Contracting Services, Inc., alleging that Defendant is an employer engaged in an industry within the meaning of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1002 (5), (11), (12) and (14).
In its Complaint, the Plaintiff seeks an audit of the Defendant's payroll records and payment for any unpaid contributions allegedly due for the period August 10, 2007 to the present. The only issue facing the Court is whether the Defendant is obligated to contribute to the Plaintiff Fund.
II. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
The Plaintiff Fund is required to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 and ERISA.
In August 2007, the Defendant contacted both Operating Engineers Local 150 and Laborers Local 773 in an effort to reach an agreement regarding the Defendant becoming signatory to the Rail Transportation and Operation Agreement ("the RTOA"). The RTOA is a nationwide collective bargaining agreement in effect between multiple signatory contractors and two unions-Operating Engineers Local 150 and Laborers Local 773.
In August of 2007, Operating Engineers Local 150 transmitted to the Defendant Company a blank one-page "Letter of Assent" form printed on Operating Engineers Local 150 letterhead. The Plaintiff alleges that on or about August 10, 2007, Joshua M. Gray signed the Letter of Assent on behalf of the Defendant. Thomas M. Gray, the President of the Defendant Company since its inception in 2003, hand wrote, "In addition, ICS's letter dated 9-14-07 will become part of the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement." The Tom Gray letter dated September 14, 2007 included ten bullet points, each of which describes changes the Defendant wanted from the standard RTOA.
On September 18, 2007, Tom Gray received a three-page response letter dated September 17, 2007 from John Price, Secretary Treasurer of Laborers Local 773. The letter from Price concluded as follows: "According to the revision outlined above, kindly make the necessary modification to the previously proposed addendum to the RTOA and submit same to this office at the earliest possible date."
On September 21, 2007, Joseph Crenshaw, Business Manager for Operating Engineers Local 150, faxed to the Defendant Company a two-page document printed on the letterhead of the International Union of Operating Engineers 150 titled "Addendum to the Rail Transportation and Operation Agreement (RTOA), " which consisted of six numbered paragraphs.
The Plaintiff alleges that, at all relevant times, Joshua Gray was the Railroad Division Superintendent for Industrial Contracting Services, Inc. Joshua Gray later sent the Letter of Assent to Union representatives John Price (Laborers' Local 773) and Joseph Crenshaw (Operating Engineers' Local 150) in September 2007. The Letter of Assent states in pertinent part as follows:
The undersigned agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Rail Transportation and Operation Agreement as negotiated between the National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association and the Laborers' International Union of North America Local 773 and the International Union Operating Engineers Local 150. In addition I.C.S. letter dated 9-14-07 will become part of the terms & conditions of this Agreement.
The Plaintiff alleges the Letter of Assent contained the initials of Joshua Gray, Joseph Crenshaw and John Price next to the crossed off second paragraph. The Letter of Assent was received by the Plaintiff on October 9, 2007.
The Plaintiff alleges that, on September 21, 2007, Tom Gray signed the Addendum to the Rail Transportation and Operation Agreement ("the Addendum to RTOA"). After discussion with Joseph Crenshaw regarding the Addendum, John Price, the Secretary-Treasurer/Field Representative from Laborers Local 773, signed the Addendum to the RTOA effective September 25, 2007. On September 25, 2007, John Price faxed Crenshaw the signed Addendum to the RTOA stating that "it's not pretty but it will do."
The Defendant contends that Joseph Crenshaw called Tom Gray on the telephone and told Gray that Local 150 would not sign the Addendum to the RTOA. Rather, Crenshaw insisted that Defendant must sign the standard RTOA or his union would not participate. The Plaintiff disputes the allegation and questions why Crenshaw would prepare the Addendum to the RTOA, send it to the Defendant for signature and then call the Defendant's President to advise he would not sign the very document he had prepared earlier.
The Plaintiff alleges that on September 28, 2007, Joshua Gray sent a fax to John Price stating, "John, The f[ol]lowing is a list of employees that will have to be signed up with your hall..."
The Addendum to the RTOA was received by the Plaintiff Fund on October 9, 2007. On October 10, 2007 Dora Crenshaw, the Executive Director of the Railroad Maintenance and Industrial Health and Welfare Fund, sent the Defendant a letter welcoming the Company to the Fund, enclosing remittence forms and the delinquency policy.
The RTOA states in pertinent part as follows:
Section 1. Health and Welfare
A. Railroad Maintenance and Industrial Health and Welfare Fund for Laborers and Operating Engineers:
(1) The Employer agrees to make payments to and be bound by the Trust Agreement of the Railroad Maintenance and Industrial Health and Welfare Fund, including any amendments or changes thereto...
The Fund's Trust Agreement states in pertinent part as follows:
The Trustees... may, by their respective representatives, examine the pertinent employment and payroll records of each Employer at the Employer's place of business whenever such examination is deemed necessary or advisable by the Trustees ... | <urn:uuid:d4475d86-e364-4175-b385-6be969416b3b> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://il.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.20131107_0000611.CIL.htm/qx | 2017-05-22T19:32:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607046.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20170522190443-20170522210443-00087.warc.gz | en | 0.930159 | 1,311 |

Beth and Wrath: I think we all knew coming into this book, we would see a mating between Beth and Wrath (‘Bath?’) that was going to go through a bumpy road. And I think pregnancy drama was expected. I enjoyed all of their interactions in this book. Wrath’s terror at the thought of Beth being pregnant.
“I need you to hear this,” he said in a dead voice, “and know that it’s the God’s honest. I will not service you in your needing. Ever.”
Now it was her turn to breathe out like she’d been socked in the gut. “I can’t….I can’t believe you just said that.”
“It is never, ever going to happen. I will never get you pregnant.”
Beth’s determination though wins – she sits with Layla for hours a day in hopes to kick start her needing. Keeping things from Wrath so he doesn’t know what she is doing. Wrath’s pure exhaustion with being King and all the crap that comes with it. All of this together – it worked really well for me. I loved their fighting. I loved their love making. Wrath getting advice from Tohr – the male who lost his mate and his unborn child. OH THE FEELS. Looking back I don’t have any complaints about these two. Maybe Beth’s pregnancy got bumped along a little too fast – but the book was 600 some pages so I guess we didn’t need every moment of her pregnancy. She has a son, Wrath jr or L.W (little wrath). And I have to say – I love a good needing phase. LOVE IT. I want a female to go into needing in every book. Favorite part of Beth and Wrath – when Wrath wakes up from being knocked out and Beth isn’t there and he goes into that total rage that demolishes the pool room. Zomg. Ward actually used the word ‘Couch-icopters” and “Wrath-Beth x Overnight = Psyco-hose Beast.” Love.
Assail and Sola: Bored me to tears. I could have cared less about these two. I’ve never connected with Assail in previous books and likewise Sola does nothing for me. I didn’t care about their story and they got sooooo much page time. I wish that page time had been spent checking in with Blay and Qhuinn or more with Xcor and Layla.
JM: Oh my adorable John Matthew. His seizures when he is around Beth are getting worse. He is getting flashes and words in the old language – all having to do with Darius although no one else has any idea why it’s happening. Love where this is going. I wonder if the root of these seizures will ever come out? Love seeing how strong his relationship is with Xhex and how much Wrath respects him.
Trez and Selena: This was the most surprising couple for me – I’ve never been a huge Trez or iAm fan but I really enjoyed their story in this one. I looooved Trez and Selena. Both of them. How dirty and messed up Trez is. How horny Selena is. Their passion, their torment.
His erection was ….just as incredible as the rest of him.
“Shut the goddamn door!” he hollered.
God I love them.
Selena’s sickness and Trez’s drama with the Shadow queen. Can’t wait to see how this plays out more. We also meet s’Ex (this name and the way it’s spelled makes me weep) . Odd fellow, yes? 7 feet tall, over 300 pounds. And I guess a sex god? I mean a s’Ex god? *weeps some more* Oh! And we learn iAm is a virgin. *bites lips*
Xcor and Layla: Oh these two give me the good dirty feels. I love, love, love them together. I love that Layla will pimp herself out to him to save Wrath. I lvoe that he allows this YET has real feelings for her too. It makes me bouncy. It feels a little dark for Ward and I approve of it. I want them to have their own book. Pop out that kid Layla and then make it happen with Xcor. Let’s go!
Saxton and the uprising:S Are you starting to feel like Saxton is getting deeper storylines and maybe his own book one day? I used to not like him but now I want him to find some love. Poor Sax! He needs to be set up on a date I think. Make this happen Ward. I liked his part in trying to stop the council from ousting Wrath too.
The end: I love how it all wrapped up. It was a little mushy with L.W. being born and Wrath becoming a King for his common people. Beth and Wrath having a civil ceremony with Elvis, I mean Lassiter officiating it. *giggle* It felt warm and gooey and I liked it.
What’s next? Whose book is next? Do we find out a her signing?? I need to know! What else happened in this book that you want to talk about? Overall – did we like? | <urn:uuid:3a84518a-0d7f-4fc8-9f47-ca3b5c2c423f> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://smexybooks.com/2014/04/lets-talk-the-king-by-j-r-ward.html | 2018-06-18T05:50:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860089.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618051104-20180618071104-00525.warc.gz | en | 0.977157 | 1,160 |
June 18, 2018
Ms. Tricia Song, Head of Research for Singapore, Colliers International:
“As expected, developers’ sales in May rebounded strongly thanks to a couple of major new launches. Two new projects - Amber 45 and Twin Vew – accounted for 48% of the 1,121 units (excluding executive condos) sold last month. May’s sales were the highest since the 1,246 units sold in August 2017.
The 1,121 new homes transacted were 53.1% higher than the 732 shifted in April 2018, and 7.9% more than the 1,039 units sold in May 2017. The sharp rise in take-up came as developers placed 1,060 new units for sale – the highest number of units launched in a month since 1,616 in April 2017.
This brings year-to-May developers’ sales to 3,434 units (excl. ECs), 38% lower compared to 5,568 units sold over the corresponding period last year.
The top three best-selling private residential projects last month were: Twin Vew which sold 454 units at a median price of SGD1,385 psf; Amber 45 which moved 86 units at a median price of SGD2,378 psf; and 73 units transacted at Le Quest (Phase 2) at a median price of SGD1,462 psf.
For private residential projects, take-up rates have slowed down in general as developers stepped up prices and as earlier launched inventory gets snapped up. The sold-to-launch take-up rate in May 2018 was 1.06x, compared to 1.10x in April 2018 and 2.81x in May 2017.
Projects with catalysts and in less competitive locations still did well. For instance, Twin Vew sold 454 units at a median price of SGD1,385 psf, which is 11% above the median price of SGD1,246 psf sold at its adjacent Parc Riviera just a year ago. The good demand could be because buyers are still optimistic on its proximity to the Jurong Lake District, despite the derailed plans for the High Speed Rail.
Le Quest Phase 2 sold 73 units out of 115 units launched, a decent take-up despite a higher median price of SGD1,462 psf than the SGD1,309 psf achieved during its Phase 1 launch in August 2017, which sold 287 out of 300 units launched.
Meanwhile, sales tapered in the EC segment due to limited supply in the market. Rivercove Residences in Anchorvale Lane was the star performer again in May selling 108 units at a median price of SGD993 psf – a record high for ECs. Launched in April, Rivercove Residences has now sold 610 or 97% out of 628 units reflecting the pent-up demand for ECs, a hybrid between public and private housing.
The next EC would be the one at Sumang Walk. It was awarded at a record (for a EC site) SGD583 psf ppr in March 2018, and could be launched by mid-2019 earliest. We expect it to be launched at over SGD1,000 psf. In view of the sustained demand, the Government has set aside more EC sites on its Government Land Sale (GLS) programme, including one on the Confirmed List and two on the Reserve List for 1H 2018.
Despite the slow start to the year, we think the sales momentum is catching on with more new launches – 1,259-unit Stirling Residences, 805-unit Park Colonial, 327-unit Daintree Residence, 1,472-unit Riverfront Residences (former Rio Casa) and Jadescape (former Shunfu Ville) – all of which will be put on the market in the coming months. Colliers expects 12,600 new private homes to be sold in the whole of 2018, up from 10,566 units in 2017.
That said, developers’ sales are likely to be muted in June owing to the typically slower market activity during the June school holidays. Developers would usually postpone major launches till after the school holidays.” | <urn:uuid:b54ecd7c-30fc-4b7e-abb0-4a998edcab00> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://www.colliers.com/en-gb/singapore/about/media/2018-06-18-urahomesalesmay | 2019-04-23T13:57:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578605510.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20190423134850-20190423160850-00376.warc.gz | en | 0.958893 | 877 |

Our roofing division recently had the pleasure of working with a wonderful homeowner in Estero Florida. With a need for a new tile roof, our roofing division was contacted and contracted to remove and replace the home’s roofing structure.
We began the project by removing the existing tile roof and underlayment. These materials were then disposed of properly in accordance with local code. With the wood decking exposed, we inspected and replaced any areas that were deteriorated or damaged. The decking was then re-nailed to meet hurricane mitigation codes and a new tile underlayment was installed to the entire roof surface. All of the appropriate drip edge flashing, galvalume valley metal, eave closure metal, and galvalume kitchen/dryer vents were also installed. New lead flashing was also installed around all plumbing stacks to seal up these areas.
With the home ready for its new roofing tile, our team went to work installing Villa’s 900 Arbor Green tile to the entire roof with the appropriate fastener application system per manufacturer specifications. Once complete we went to work installing new tan 6” aluminum seamless gutters along with the appropriate downspouts and splash guards to properly route water off the home’s roof.
This homeowner can now safely weather any storm with a new tile roof from First Service accompanied with both workmanship and manufacturer warranties! We would like to thank our amazing homeowner for the opportunity to solve their roofing issues, and for trusting our family owned and operated company. | <urn:uuid:63bde035-37fe-4645-856c-73739a732514> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://myfirstservice.net/recently-completed-estero-tile-roof-replacement/ | 2022-10-03T17:03:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337428.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003164901-20221003194901-00128.warc.gz | en | 0.968565 | 308 |
I want to get into baking & making cakes. I've always liked it but i've never really dedicated the effort into learning.
For my mom's birthday I'm planning on baking her a cake and doing some cool fondant work with some skills I learned in a class, but I'd also like to do an interesting flavor.
I've never scratch baked a cake before so I'd like some guidance on my ideas and perhaps some help in figuring out ratios.
Basic idea so far is to do an Orange spice cake (cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and maybe clove?) with a dark chocolate raspberry buttercream.
Is that too many flavors? Is it possible to do a thick enough buttercream with raspberry flavoring?
I'm also going to bake it in an 8" hemisphere pan, so any tips, tricks, or help with how that affects baking time would be a lifesaver!
I'm planning on doing a dry-run first, because I realize this is a pretty ambitious undertaking for a complete amateur so any help getting to that stage would be very welcome.
those spices need to be a super light touch to not overwhelm the orange -- i'd use orange zest that has been rubbed into some sugar so all the oils are developed -- i would do dark chocolate icing with a raspberry filling -- also i think the raspberry and the spices could all compete with the dark chocolate -- this is a very hearty flavor profile -- not saying it wouldn't work but it will be quit
...quite robust -- the post got posted before its time
the hemisphere pan: you can't just fill it full and expect it to bake properly -- i'd use a maximum of 2.5 inches of batter and put in a piece of folded foil so it bakes faster in the middle -- some peeps use an inverted rose nail -- then i would also bake an 8" round and plop the hemisphere on top of the 8" so you have the height you want --
if i can find the pics of the folded foil thing i'll post them --
but i do think i'd switch to a vanilla icing -- then you could add some choco dipped orange peel to get that chocolate pop if you have your heart set on it
i'm also not positive about the nutmeg and clove with the raspberry -- all your spices could work with the orange if handled right -- but adding the raspberry is really gonna pull all the flavors in a different direction -- might all work ok -- but if it was me, i'd go either spice or raspberry, not both with vanilla icing on the orange cake -- dark choco dipped orange peel on the side
in fact my motto is "if a little is good a lot is better" especially with vanilla and cinnamon -- however i have an incredible cookie (from cookiemania, the book) that takes a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon with some orange zest -- and i'm tellin' yah it just becomes a powerful and wonderful combo in there -- but it's real hard for me to measure a quarter teaspoon of anything especially cinnamon!
another thought -- hey raspberries dotted around the bottom border interspersed between the orange peel would be beautiful -- and you've got all your flavors in there
Thanks for all of the advice, k8Memphis! Thats definitely a lot to think about.
Perhaps instead of trying to work the black berries into the buttercream I could dip some in a cinnamon dark chocolate for a border. My mother loves dipped fruits. :)
good idea --
try the chocolate dipped candied orange peel sometime --
lemme know how it goes
You mention dipping black berries,,,,I don't think that is going to work. As K8 said, dipped candied orange peel would. I also agree w/her that all the spices/flavors you mention is too much so adheed her advice - cut back :) Then you mention using an 8" sphere pan. Do you mean 8" deep or are you talking about the 1/2 ball pan (like Wilton's soccor ball)?
yeah true about dipping the blackberries/raspberries, kl -- but you could probably get some back & forth drizzle on them -- i put it in a small parchment piping bag with a small hole -- put the berries on some parchment -- pick them up after the chocolate drizzle sets up -- done last minute | <urn:uuid:a14d9108-6989-412d-a015-252dfa6865ff> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | https://www.cakecentral.com/forum/t/844883/need-flavoring-advice-pan-advice | 2017-08-22T19:28:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886112539.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170822181825-20170822201825-00002.warc.gz | en | 0.946852 | 893 |

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
1. You will remember that last week our study of Yoga had led us to the Fathers of the Church. We saw that their philosophy and science, in following an independent route, had brought us to the famous exclamation of Tertullian: ‘certum est quia ineptum!’ How right the Church has been to deny the authority of Reason!
2. We are almost tempted to enquire for a moment what the Church means by ‘faith.’ St. Paul tells us that faith is ‘the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things unseen.’ I do not think, then, that we are to imagine this word faith to mean what that lecherous gross-bellied boor, Martin Luther, maintained. The faith of which he speaks is anything but a substance, and as for evidence, it is nothing but the power, as the schoolboy said, of believing that which we know to be untrue. To have any sensible meaning at all, faith must mean experience, and that view is in exact accord with the conclusion to which we were led in my last lecture. Nothing is any use to us unless it be a certainty unshakeable by criticism of any kind, and there is only one thing in the universe which complies with these conditions: the direct experience of spiritual truth. Here, and here only, do we find a position in which the great religious minds of all times and all climes coincide. It is necessarily above dogma, because dogma consists of a collection of intellectual statements, each of which, and also its contradictory, can easily be disputed and overthrown.
3. You are probably aware that in the Society of Jesus the postulants are trained to debate on all these highly controversial subjects. They put up a young man to prove any startling blasphemy that happens to occur to them. And the more shocked the young man is, the better the training for his mind, and the better service will he give to the Society in the end; but only if his mind has been completely disabused of its confidence in its own rightness, or even in the possibility of being right.
4. The rationalist, in his shallow fashion, always contends that this training is the abnegation of mental freedom. On the contrary, it is the only way to obtain that freedom. In the same Society the training in obedience is based on a similar principle. The priest has to do what his Superior orders him-‘perinde ac cadaver.’ Protestants always represent that this is the most outrageous and indefensible tyranny. ‘The poor devil,’ they say, ‘is bludgeoned into having no will of his own.’ That is pure nonsense. By abnegating his will through the practice of holy obedience his will has become enormously strong, so strong that none of his natural instincts, desires, or habits can intrude. He has freed his will of all these inhibitions. He is a perfect function of the machinery of the Order. In the General of the Society is concentrated the power of all those separate wills, just as in the human body every cell should be completely devoted in its particular quality to the concentrated will of the organism.
5. In other words, the Society of Jesus has created a perfect imitation of the skeleton of the original creation, living man. It has complied with the divinely instituted order of things, and that is why we see that the body, which was never numerically important, has yet been one of the greatest influences in the development of Europe. It has not always worked perfectly, but that has not been the fault of the system; and, even as it is, its record has been extraordinary. And one of the most remarkable things about it is that its greatest and most important achievements have been in the domain of science and philosophy. It has done nothing in religion; or, rather, where it has meddled with religion it has only done harm. What a mistake! And why? For the simple reason that it was in a position to take no notice of religion; all these matters were decided for it by the Pope, or by the Councils of the Church, and the Society was therefore able to free itself from the perplexities of religion, in exactly the same way as the novice obtains complete freedom from his moral responsibilities by sinking his personal phantasies in the will of the Superior.
6. I should like to mention here that the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are in their essence really admirable Yoga practices. They have, it is true, a tinge of magical technique, and they have been devised to serve a dogmatic end. That was, however, necessary, and it was good magic too, at that, because the original will of the Founder was to produce a war engine as a counterblast to the Reformation. He was very wise to devise a plan, irrespective of its abstract merits as philosophy, which would most efficiently serve that single purpose. The only trouble has been that this purpose was not sufficiently cosmic in scope to resist internal forces. Having attained the higher planes by practice of these exercises, they found that the original purpose of the Society was not really adequate to their powers; they were, so to speak, over-engined. They stupidly invaded the spiritual sphere of the other authorities whom they were founded to support, and thus we see them actually quarrelling with the Pope, while failing signally to obtain possession of the Papacy. Being thus thwarted in their endeavours, and confused in their purpose, they redoubled the ardour of their exercises; and it is one of the characteristics of all spiritual exercises, if honestly and efficiently performed, that they constantly lead you on to higher planes, where all dogmatic considerations, all intellectual concepts, are invalid. Hence, we found that it is not altogether surprising that the General of the Order and his immediate circle have been supposed to be atheists. If that were true, it would only show that they have been corrupted by their preoccupation with the practical politics of the world, which it is impossible to conduct on any but an atheistic basis; it is brainless hypocrisy to pretend otherwise, and should be restricted to the exclusive use of the Foreign Office.
It would, perhaps, be more sensible to suppose that the heads of the Order have really attained the greatest heights of spiritual knowledge and freedom, and it is quite possible that the best term to describe their attitude would be either Pantheistic or Gnostic.
7. These considerations should be of the greatest use to us now that we come to discuss in more detail the results of the Yoga practices. There is, it is true, a general similarity between the ecstatic outbursts of the great mystics all over the world. Comparisons have often been drawn by students of the subject. I will only detain you with one example: ‘Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.’ What is this injunction? It is a generalisation of St. Augustine’s ‘Love, and do what thou wilt.’ But in ‘The Book of the Law’, lest the hearer should be deluded into a spasm of antinomianism, there is a further explanation: ‘Love is the law, love under will.’
8. However, the point is that it is no use discussing the results of Yoga, whether that Yoga be the type recommended by Lao-Tze, or Patanjali, or St. Ignatius Loyola, because for our first postulate we have: that these subjects are incapable of discussion. To argue about them only causes us to fall into the pit of Because, and there to perish with the dogs of Reason. The only use, therefore, of describing our experiences is to enable students to get some sort of idea of the sort of thing that is going to happen to them when they attain success in the practices of Yoga. We have David saying in the Psalms: ‘I hate thoughts, but Thy law do I love.’ We have St. Paul saying: ‘The carnal mind is enmity against God.’ One might almost say that the essence of St. Paul’s Epistles is a struggle against mind: ‘We war not against flesh and blood’-you know the rest-I can’t be bothered to quote it all-Eph. vi. 12.
9. It is St. Paul, I think, who describes Satan, which is his name for the enemy, owing to his ignorance of the history of the world, as the Prince of the Power of the Air; that is, of the Ruach, of the intellect; and we must never forget that what operated the conversion of St. Paul was the Vision on the road to Damascus. It is particularly significant that he disappeared into the Desert of Arabia for three years before coming forward as the Apostle to the Gentiles. St. Paul was a learned Rabbi; he was the favourite pupil of the best expositor of the Hebrew Law, and in the single moment of his Vision all his arguments were shattered at a single stroke!
10. We are not told that St. Paul said anything at the time, but went quietly on his journey. That is the great lesson: not to discuss the results. Those of you who possess a copy of ‘The Equinox of the Gods’ may have been very much surprised at the extraordinary injunction in the Comment: the prohibition of all discussion of the Book. I myself did not fully understand that injunction; I do so now.
11. Let us now deal with a few of the phenomena which occur during the practices of Pratyahara.
Very early during my retirement in Kandy, I had been trying to concentrate by slanting my eyes towards the tip of my nose. This, by the way, is not a good practice; one is liable to strain the eyes. But what happened was that I woke up in the night; my hand touched a nose; I immediately concluded that some one was in the room. Not at all; I only thought so because my nose had passed away from the region of my observation by the practice of concentrating upon it.
12. The same sort of thing occurs with adequate concentration on any object. It is connected, curiously enough, with the phenomena of invisibility. When your mind has gone so deeply into itself that it is unconscious of itself and its surroundings, one of the most ordinary results is that the body becomes invisible to other people. I do not think that it would make any difference for a photograph, though I have no evidence for saying this; but it has happened to me on innumerable occasions. It was an almost daily occurrence when I was in Sicily.
13. A party of us used to go down to a very beautiful bay of sand, whence jutted fantastically-shaped islets of rock; it is rimmed by cliffs encrusted with jewels of marine life. The way was over a bare hillside; except for a few hundred yards of vineyard there was no cover-nay, not for a rabbit. But it often happened that one of the party would turn to speak to me, and fail to see me. I have often known this to happen when I was dictating; my chair was apparently empty.
Incidentally, this faculty, which I think is exercised, as a rule, unconsciously, may become an actual magical power.
14. It happened to me on one occasion that a very large number of excited people were looking for me with no friendly intentions; but I had a feeling of lightness, of ghostliness, as if I were a shadow moving soundlessly about the street; and in actual fact none of the people who were looking for me gave the slightest indication that they were aware of my presence.
There is a curious parallel to this incident in one of the Gospels where we read that ‘they picked up stones to stone him, but he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.’
15. There is another side to this business of Pratyahara, one that may be described as completely contradictory against what we have been talking about.
If you concentrate your attention upon one portion of the body with the idea of investigating it, that is, I suppose, allowing the mind to move within very small limits, the whole of your consciousness becomes concentrated in that small part. I used to practise this a good deal in my retirement by Lake Pasquaney. I would usually take a finger or a toe, and identify my whole consciousness with the small movements which I allowed it to make. It would be futile to go into much detail about this experience. I can only say that until you acquire the power you have no idea of the sheer wonder and delight of that endlessly quivering orgasm.
16. If I remember rightly, this practice and its result were one of the principal factors which enabled me afterwards to attain what is called the Trance of Wonder, which pertains to the Grade of a Master of the Temple, and is a sort of complete understanding of the organism of the universe, and an ecstatic adoration of its marvel.
This Trance is very much higher than the Beatific Vision, for always in the latter it is the heart-the Phren-which is involved; in the former it is the Nous, the divine intelligence of man, whereas the heart is only the centre of the intellectual and moral faculties.
17. But, so long as you are occupying yourself with the physical, your results will only be on that plane; and the principal effect of these concentrations on small parts of the body is the understanding, or rather the appreciation, of sensuous pleasure. This, however, is infinitely refined, exquisitely intense. It is often possible to acquire a technique by which the skilled artist can produce this pleasure in another person. Map out, say, three square inches of skin anywhere, and it is possible by extreme gentle touches to excite in the patient all the possible sensations of pleasure of which that person is capable. I know that this is a very extraordinary claim, but it is a very easy one to substantiate. The only thing I am afraid of is that experts may be carried away by the rewards, instead of getting the real value of the lesson, which is that the gross pleasures of the senses are absolutely worthless.
This practice, so far as it is useful to all, should be regarded as the first step towards emancipation from the thrall of the bodily desires, of the sensations self-destructive, of the thirst for pleasure.
18. I think this is a good opportunity to make a little digression in favour of Mahasatipatthana. This practice was recommended by the Buddha in very special terms, and it is the only one of which he speaks so highly. He told his disciples that if they only stuck to it, sooner or later they would reach full attainment. The practice consists of an analysis of the universe in terms of consciousness. You begin by taking some very simple and regular bodily exercise, such as the movement of the body in walking, or the movements of the lungs in breathing. You keep on noting what happens: ‘I am breathing out; I am breathing in; I am holding my breath,’ as the case may be. Quite without warning, one is appalled by the shock of the discovery that what you have been thinking is not true. You have no right to say: ‘I am breathing in.’ All that you really know is that there is a breathing in.
19. You therefore change your note, and you say: ‘There is a breathing in; there is a breathing out,’ and so on. And very soon, if you practise assiduously, you get another shock. You have no right to say that there is a breathing. All you know is that there is a sensation of that kind. Again you change your conception of your observation, and one day make the discovery that the sensation has disappeared. All you know is that there is perception of a sensation of breathing in or breathing out. Continue, and that is once more discovered to be an illusion. What you find is that there is a tendency to perceive a sensation of the natural phenomena.
20. The former stages are easy to assimilate intellectually; one assents to them immediately that one discovers them, but with regard to the ‘tendency,’ this is not the case, at least it was not so for my own part. It took me a long while before I understood what was meant by ‘tendency.’ To help you to realise this I should like to find a good illustration. For instance, a clock does nothing at all but offer indications of the time. It is so constructed that this is all we can know about it. We can argue about whether the time is correct, and that means nothing at all, unless, for example, we know whether the clock is controlled electrically from an astronomical station where the astronomer happens to be sane, and in what part of the world the clock is, and so on.
21. I remember once when I was in Teng-Yueh, just inside the Chinese frontier in Yunnan. The hour of noon was always telegraphed to the Consulate from Pekin. This was a splendid idea, because electricity is practically instantaneous. The unfortunate thing was, if it was unfortunate, which I doubt, that the messages had to be relayed at a place called Yung Chang. The operators there had the good sense to smoke opium most of the time, so occasionally a batch of telegrams would arrive, a dozen or so in a bunch, stating that it was noon at Pekin on various dates! So all the gross phenomena, all these sensations and perceptions, are illusion. All that one could really say was that there was a tendency on the part of some lunatic in Pekin to tell the people at Teng-Yueh what o’clock it was.
22. But even this Fourth Skandha is not final. With practice, it also appears as an illusion, and one remains with nothing but the bare consciousness of the existence of such a tendency.
I cannot tell you very much about this, because I have not worked it out very thoroughly myself, but I very much doubt whether ‘consciousness’ has any meaning at all, as a translation of the word Vinnanam. I think that a better translation would be ‘experience,’ used in the sense in which we have been using it hitherto, as the direct reality behind and beyond all remark.
23. I hope you will appreciate how difficult it is to give a reasoned description, however tentative, of these phenomena, still less to classify them properly. They have a curious trick of running one into the other. This, I believe, is one of the reasons why it has been impossible to find any really satisfactory literature about Yoga at all. The more advanced one’s progress, the less one knows, and the more one understands. The effect is simply additional evidence of what I have been saying all this time: that it is very little use discussing things; what is needed is continuous devotion to the practice.
Love is the law, love under will.

relief print carved into linoleum
rather than wood.
printing technique in which the image
is drawn on a very flat slab of limestone
(or a specially treated metal plate).
This stone is treated chemically
so that ink, when rolled on to the
stone, adheres only where the drawing
was done. This inked image can then
be transferred to a piece of paper
with the help of a high pressure
form of relief printing from an intaglio
plate. In the fifteenth century metal
cuts often employed drill holes that
printed as white dots. Engraved lines
will print white rather than black
in metal cut since the surface, rather
than the marks in the plate, is inked.
intaglio process invented around
1650 that allows the printing of
rich tonal areas of black and grey.
The mezzotint process begins by texturing
a metal plate in such a way that
it will hold a great deal of ink
and print a solid black field. This
is done with a tool called a "rocker." A
rocker is essentially a large curved
blade with very fine teeth along
its edge. This blade is rocked back
and forth, putting courses of fine
dots into the metal plate. After
this has been done repeatedly the
plate will be covered with fine stipples
that can hold ink. The next step
is to scrape away the stippled texture
where lighter passages are needed.
The more vigorously the plate is
scraped the less ink it will hold
and the whiter it will print. Mezzotint
differs conceptually from other intaglio
methods because the artist works
from black to white rather than white
form of printmaking in which the
artist draws or paints on some material,
such as glass, and then prints the
image onto paper, usually with a
press. The remaining pigment can
then be reworked, but the subsequent
print will not be an exact version
of the previous print. Monotypes
may be unique prints or variations
on a theme.
means of printing a photographic
image by the intaglio process. The
photographic negative (which may
be of an artistís drawing) is projected
onto a sensitized gelatin emulsion
or carbon tissue that is transferred
to a copper plate. After washing
the plate areas that correspond to
the image on the negative are dissolved
and the plate can be bitten by acid
as in routine etching. In hand photogravure,
which is most commonly used in printmaking,
the copper plate is first prepared
for aquatint etching. The end result
can closely resemble a traditional
linear etching or soft ground etching.
were many means available by the
1880s that allowed a black line drawing
to be transferred to a relief printing
block by photographic means. These
are generically known as line blocks
and the images printed from them
typically share many of the qualities
of woodcut. The means of transferring
the image are often complex, and
can involve such techniques as etching
photosensitized plates or electrotyping
light sensitive gelatin plates.
term is used to describe a variety
of processes involving the transfer
of a photographic image to a printing

The Delta State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has celebrated the mass exodus of prominent Chieftains and top members of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Ndokwa East Local Government Area, into the PDP family, and welcomed the well-known political figures with open arms, back to the secure and comfortable sojourn under the big Umbrella.
A statement by Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza, Deputy Director, Media/Publicity Committee, Delta State PDP Campaign Council and State Publicity Secretary, Delta PDP, which disclosed the news of the defections, equally took a swipe at Hon. Friday Osanebi, Deputy Governorship Candidate of Delta APC, noting that this exodus in his own LGA, has exposed him as a premature politician and a LEARNER.
The statement reads: “The Delta State PDP happily announces that a political tsunami and mass exodus of defections by prominent Chieftains, key stakeholders with thousands of their vast supporters and loyalists, from APC to PDP, has recently taken place in Ndokwa East Local Government Area, NELGA.
“The defections and mass exodus of APC stalwarts and thousands of their party members to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ndokwa East LGA, which took place today, Friday, 20th January, 2023, is ample evidence of the irreversible collapse of the APC in Ndokwa East Local Government Area.
“These renowned Deltans and sons and daughters of Ndokwaland, who led the multitude of other APC Members, have declared by their bold and irrevocable action, that they have had enough of the darkness, unending glaring deceits and one-man-show of the APC in the State and Ndokwa East LGA.
1. BARRISTER AUSTIN OGBOLU – Party LGA. Chairman.
2. HON. EBIFA IJOMAH – Former Commissioner for Youth and Economic Planning.
3. COMRADE JUDE EZIMADU – Party LGA. Secretary.
4. COMRADE OBAH EMMANUEL – Party LGA. Youth Leader.
5. MADAM ELIZABETH OLISA – Party LGA. Woman Leader.
6. MR AUSTIN CHIKODI – State EXCO Member. and;
7. MR LUCKY DIKEADI – Legislative Aide To Deputy Senate President.
“This is in addition to the defection of Chief Tony Amechi, a major financier of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Ndokwa East and Ndokwa nation as a whole, who recently dumped the APC with over 3000 of his supporters and was received with rousing reception in Aboh, by our capacity Chairman, Olorogun Kingsley Esiso, our highly distinguished and respected Deputy Governorship Candidate, Sir Monday Onyeme and our dynamic party scribe, Engr. Dan Ossai, amongst others.
“As we celebrate the auspicious emptying of the APC political structure into the PDP in Ndokwa East, we also note with great strategic satisfaction, that the Delta Deputy Governorship Candidate of the APC, Hon. Friday Osanebi is from Ndokwa East LGA, his supposed political stronghold, where he hitherto held sway, as a long-serving PDP Deputy Speaker in the Delta Legislature, before embarking on his infantile and ill-advised journey into anti-party politics, by biting the solid fingers that fed his political ego and ambition generously and successfully.
“These monumental defections from the APC and the crumbling of the foundation of the party’s political structure in Ndokwa East, are not only a bold and clear negation of Osanebi’s selection as Deputy Governorship Candidate of the APC by the people of Ndokwa nation, it equally exposes the widely held notion in the area that Hon. Osanebi is a LEARNER and a premature politician, who is obviously not in control of his electoral Constituency.
“Most importantly, however, is the fact that the exodus of APC Chieftains and stalwarts in NELGA, serves as a categorical validation, acceptance, and endorsement of the distinguished Sir Monday Onyeme, in the same position of Deputy Governorship Candidate of the PDP, as the incontrovertible choice and trusted torch bearer of the people of Ndokwa East and Ndokwa nation, in whom they have reposed their full confidence and trust, to bring the much desired additional dividends of democracy to the area, in the next political dispensation in Delta State.
“We most heartily welcome our new members in Ndokwa East LGA. into the PDP family and assure them that there is enough room and space for everyone under the big, comfortable, and secure Umbrella.

Am I pronouncing Genevieve right?
Hi again Berries!
So I obviously love Genevieve but kind of made up my own pronunciation.
I sadly don't like the gen-uh-veev pronunciation due to the fact of the Gen beginning. I have a cousin Jen so I'm worried that if we use this name for a girl that she'll end up being Gen, Genna, or Genny. The french pronunciation is better but no real nickname. Plus my fiance and his family wouldn't pronounce it correctly. I was think something like Jhon-uh-veev. If that makes sense? So kind of like Shawn or the french pronunciation of John. Is that a different name like Guinevieve? Is that made up? I kind of like VeVe or Eve as a nickname. | <urn:uuid:52089a72-d247-4357-9143-6c79c66593de> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://nameberry.com/nametalk/printthread.php?t=138637&pp=5&page=1 | 2015-08-28T00:35:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644060103.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025420-00206-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965699 | 168 |

It seems that we have another case of “act before you think,” where a Missouri mom is in a bit of trouble. Apparently, the woman has been accused of taking a topless photo in her hot tub with her 14 year old daughter and circulating it throughout two surrounding high schools.
The woman of course denies this saying it was a foolish idea by her 13 year old daughter. She claims that the girl candidly took the photo as the mom exited the hot tub. When she realized what her daughter had done, she ordered her to delete the photo immediately. The girl did not and sent it over Snapchat—a photo sharing app that only allows users a designated amount of seconds to view the photo before it is deleted.
St. Charles County Prosecutor Tim Lohmar paints a different picture however.
He says that the woman intentionally took the picture with her daughter with the intent to distribute it. Lohmar told reporters that the photo was definitely posed with sexual overtones. The prosecutor eventually went into greater detail saying that the 50 year old mother along with her underage daughter were both conspicuously covering their nipples.
The sad part about this is the daughter was already undergoing, “court-ordered counseling for circulating nude pictures of herself last year.”
The mother is being charged with misdemeanor child endangerment. | <urn:uuid:bd06d916-32ba-46d4-bbfa-14e4b8b5e696> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://www.mrconservative.com/2015/01/54592-mother-takes-topless-photo-with-underage-daughter-and-distributes-it-throughout-two-schools/ | 2017-03-27T04:48:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189403.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00485-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985836 | 269 |
There is an Angel in my garden,
She tends the tubs and pots,
Leaving behind a sign,
In my treasured, forget~me~nots.
She visits in my dreams,
A smile, upon her face,
The change of passing years,
Vanished, without trace.
And then, when I awake,
My Angel sister’s gone,
I gather up all I am,
And my life, trundles on.
Although, I often wonder,
Snipping edges off my dreams,
Is it, wistful imagination,
Or fate’s, unknown schemes.
Then, on stepping in my garden,
Around the tubs and pots,
I see an Angel’s touch,
In her treasured forget~me~nots.

Business Insights: Using Public Web Data to Identify Business Opportunities
May 24, 2022
Data-driven business insights about a company's situation, its competitors, and the overall market allow organizations to identify future opportunities and create better strategies. High-quality data is an essential part of this process.
In this article, you will learn about a data-driven approach to identifying business opportunities and how to use public web data to generate impactful and actionable insights.
What are business insights?
A business insight is a result of analyzing relevant data with the goal of using it to understand, change, and improve your business. This process has three essential components: data, analysis, and insights.
Data is the base of business insights: numbers, lists, and values needed for analysis.
An analysis is a process of turning this data into information. Let's say you get a list of 50,000 similar products and their specifications. After processing this data and conducting an in-depth analysis, you would know that, for example, half of these products target a different audience, and 1 in 5 of the remaining products receive negative reviews because of pricey delivery.
The results of such analysis identifying opportunities for your business would be business insights.
A business insight is a result of analyzing relevant data with the goal of using it to understand, change, and improve your business.
How to generate actionable insights?
Insights would be considered actionable if they allowed you to achieve the following:
- Accurately evaluate the current situation
- Set future goals
- Know how to measure success
In short, business goals and the data that supports them should be aligned. To get actionable insights from data, you need to consider such factors as KPIs and strategic organizational goals.
So, if you're looking to improve only one component of your business process, you should focus on the data relevant to this exact goal. Similarly, you should keep in mind that generating strategic business insights that would transform the whole organization requires a different scope of data.
Public web data for business Insights
With the amount of business-related information and how quickly this information changes, it's almost impossible to keep up with the pace using only the data that you collect within the company.
Public web data would allow you to see the big picture: from the sociodemographic factors impacting purchases of similar products online across the industry to what tools or talent could help your organization stay ahead of the competition.
Public web data is information from non-traditional sources, usually acquired by harvesting large amounts of web data. If you're looking for public web data for business insights generation, firmographic data, company funding data, tech product reviews, employee data, and company employee reviews are good examples of what intelligence you can get.
Coresignal offers millions of ethically collected public web data records from public web sources in 8 categories that are updated regularly.
Firmographic data shows such company metrics as size, market capitalization, revenue, competitors and how these things are changing over time.
Large datasets of company reviews would allow you to extract accurate and impactful insights about your competitors' products, customers' needs, or pain points at scale, and even monitor what sentiments customers or employees express about companies you're interested in.
Employee data shows the talent movement in companies. By analyzing this data you could detect rapid growth or decline signals in companies that you’re interested in and monitor changes in high-level positions which might have an impact on the organization.
This knowledge would allow you to build and sustain a competitive business strategy powered by data-driven business insights.

Benefits of using public web data to generate business insights
Here are some benefits of leveraging public web data to generate actionable insights:
- Having large amounts of rich, in-depth data for analysis
- Seeing a comprehensive view of a company's business environment and situation
- Gaining competitive intelligence
- Deep understanding of market landscape
Next, you will see examples of these benefits and the challenges you might encounter if you decide to use public web data to get actionable insights for your business.
Public web data about reviews, company talent, recent announcements, new funding deals, and more can become the cornerstone of your business insights. However, to get the most out of this data, you need to consider a few aspects of the process.
Define your goals
Before choosing a public web data solution for your business, it's essential to know what information you need. Do you want to build an AI technology that would power your sales? Or do you want to keep your finger on the market's pulse by getting fresh data about all the players?
Working with a large amount of information that's not relevant to your goals is ineffective. Depending on your internal resources, you will be able to identify what type and amount of data you need. Knowing this, you can decide if you can collect this data yourself or, if resources are limited, you need to outsource some parts of the data collection and/or analysis. Outsourcing this process can save you time and resources, allowing you to focus on activities that generate revenue.
Lastly, make these goals smart. Before collecting data, define what success will look like for you and decide what insights and what results are needed to achieve it. This will help you stay on the course and constantly shape your data-related processes.
Choose high-quality data
The quality of the data you're using is the most important thing. If you base your business insights on inaccurate information, this complex work that should be bringing success to your business could have a negative impact on the organization.
Research by Statista shows that data quality (incomplete, inaccurate, or redundant data) is among the most important factors standing in the way of using data to drive business value. There are 6 dimensions of Data quality:
Search for ways to get data that meets these criteria.
Identify internal stakeholders
Who are the stakeholders who will be using this data? It can be top management, sales, data engineers and analytics teams, or even the whole organization. The extent to which this data has to be processed before it reaches you depends on the skills of the people who will be using it.
Another thing to consider is the role of your technology teams. If public web data vendors supply you with large amounts of data, you will need people with technical skills to process and prepare it for analysis. As an alternative, companies can consider purchasing already processed data from data vendors in the form of insight reports.
To put it simply, data itself is not enough if people in the company don't have the analytical and technical skills needed to utilize it. A recent research also proves this point. Employees' lack of analytical skills is the biggest challenge in companies trying to use data to drive business value.
Lastly, be resourceful and utilize the data you have as much as you can. If you think that the intelligence your management or another department has could benefit other teams in your company, invent a process to prepare it for universal use cases and give them access. According to HubSpot, data misalignment among different teams is one of the main challenges companies are facing with big data.
Extracting actionable business insights requires accurate data and analytical skills, but the results can strengthen your business strategies and processes. If your organization needs large amounts of data to support this component of your business, you should consider incorporating public web data.
Building an internal structure that can utilize this information to the fullest extent can become the core of your company's business insights. Evaluate your goals, and align them with a solution that can make an impact.

|MGI Phenotype||FUNCTION: Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.

New Jersey — with hundreds of hot dog carts, trucks, stands and storefronts, could qualify as the center of the hot dog universe. The Texas wiener, for one, began here. So did the Italian hot dog.
In Union, Essex, Passaic and Bergen counties, in particular — call it the Hot Dog Belt — the hot dog is a lunchtime staple and, for many, an important part of childhood memories and growing up.
In recognition of National Hot Dog Day, here are my favorite hot dog joints in Jersey. Some are on the list for the quality of the dogs and toppings; others for the atmosphere and charm — or lack thereof.
What are your favorite Jersey hot dog places, and why?
A moment of silence, please for Syd's, Callahan's and other since-gone hot dog institutions. For an added treat, check out our video of the hot dog-eating contest in Seaside Heights.
Any Jersey hot dog pilgrimage must begin with what I call the Hot Dog Holy Trinity + 1 - Jimmy Buff's, Rutt's Hut, Hiram's and Dickie Dee's.
The first, the birthplace of the Italian hot dog. The second, home of the infamous "Ripper.'' The third, maybe the state's best chili dog. The fourth, a Newark street corner legend.
Hiram's, 1345 Palisades Ave., Fort Lee; (201) 592-9602. There apparently was never a guy named Hiram's behind Hiram's, one of the state's legendary hot dog haunts. The business can be traced to a shack that started selling hot dogs in the 1930s.
Today, it's a hot dog roadhouse, with a small dining room (door to the right), walk-up counter (door to the left), and beer on tap.
Callahan's was across the street; it's now a bank.
Jimmy Buff's, 60 Washington St., West Orange; (973) 325-9897. The first name in Italian hot dogs. James Racioppi opened a hot stand in Newark in 1932. His nickname was "Jimmy Bluff," after his card-playing prowess. That became Jimmy Buff. The Scotch Plains and East Hanover locations have closed in recent years, but the diner-like West Orange Jimmy's Buff's and a newer store in Kenilworth are open.
Rutt's Hut, 417 River Road, Clifton; (973) 779-8615. A brick-walled roadside legend. Home of the Ripper, a deep-fried dog, skin ripped open, which is not about to appear on the South Beach or any other diet. Walk in the front entrance, order a dog and a beer, or walk around back, to the cozy little restaurant.
Big Daddy's, 62A Main St., Little Falls; (973) 785-0206. The difference here is the heat, specifically the scores of hot sauces that line the shelves and are available for use.
The hottest: Da' Bomb's Ground Zero, which measures at 234,000 Scoville units. That's blast-furnace-hot. Want to try it? Put a dab on a toothpick; don't you dare dump a bunch of it on your dog.
Boulevard Drinks, 48 Journal Square, Jersey City; (201) 656-1855. A hot dog joint right out of Hollywood Hot Dog Central Casting, with its walk-up counter, bright orange/yellow interior and a flickering red and green neon sign.
The booths and lighting are so bright they might hurt your eyes. Located right across the street from Journal Square; grab a couple dogs the next time you're on PATH.
Tommy's, 900 Second Ave., Elizabeth; (908) 351-9831. Our S.W.A.T. Dog team in 2006 named Tommy's the state's best Italian hot dog, over heavyweight contenders Jimmy Buff's, Charlie's and others.
There's no place to sit inside; take your dog out on the sidewalk, or to the nearest bench. Home of "the world's greatest chili hot dogs," according to the red neon sign. Ignore the sign and order an Italian hot dog.
The WindMill, 200 Ocean Ave., Long Branch: (732) 870-698. There are nine WindMill locations around the state; this one is easily the most scenic, with its upstairs deck and views of the ocean. it made my list of 20 Jersey Food Experiences You Must Try Before You Die. The entire list is here.
HOT DOG TRUCKS
Andy's Roadside Dive, 443 Howard Blvd., Mount Arlington. This blue-awninged trailer with picnic table on the shores of Lake Hopatcong offers some funky Sabrett's dogs, including the Pig Dog, with pulled pork, barbecue sauce and cheddar cheese, and finished off with chopped bacon; and the Mr. Potato Dog, with baked potato wedges, cheddar cheese, sour cream and chopped bacon.
My favorite: the Nacho Dogito, a dog covered in slow-cooked chili, cheddar cheese, crumbled Doritos (oh, yum) and sliced jalapeños.
Donny's Dogs, Central Avenue and 15th Street, Newark.
The dirty water or boiled dog is a Newark mainstay. Dozens of hot dog trucks still park on city streets and in parks. Pete Caggiano runs Donny's Dogs; he found an abandoned, weed-covered hot dog truck on McCarter Highway and had it towed to a spot in front of Fairmount Cemetery on Central Avenue, where you can find it roday.
Marci's Dog House, 106 Oak Ridge Road, Edison/Clark border; (732) 713-5987. The hot dog itself is nothing special, but Rob Marciano's sauerkraut is super. Ingredients include mustard and pickle relish and — well, that's all he admits to. Excellent chili, too.
Soup or Dogs, 426 Route 27, Iselin. Betsy Penrose ran the Soup Store in Rahway; now she serves soups and dogs from a truck just down the road from Metropark. The chili's tasty; a dog with mustard, chili and slaw may send you to hotdog heaven.
Tony's Specialized Hot Dogs, Lake Street and Park Avenue, Newark. A Branch Brook Park fixture for 40-plus years. Tony Cavallo now longer runs the truck, but the hot dogs remain the same.
Or do they? Watch my video of co-owner Milagros Acevedo and hot dog maven John Fox arguing over the recipe. Fox says it's not the same; Acedevo says nothing's changed. It makes for great hot dog theater.
In any event, I love the Super Dog here — chili, kraut, cheese, mustard, hot onions and relish.
OFF-THE-WALL — AND WONDERFUL
Charlie's Pool Room, 1123 East Blvd., Alpha; (908) 454-1364.
I've called Charlie's the state's most eccentric eatery, and I mean that with affection.
Squeaky hardwood floors, a 1920s cash register, tin ceiling, fluorescent-lit pool table, tiny bathroom and just one item on the menu: hot dogs. If you don't count the candy at the front counter.
Brothers Joe and John Fencz are your delightful hosts; John does the cooking, Joe does the talking. Must-try: a dog with Grandma Fencz' spicy "secret'' sauce.
Charlie's is temporarily closed for renovations; the county health department cited it for code violations back in May. The moment it re-opens, you can bet hot dog lovers will beat a path to the screen door.
Here's a behind-the-scenes video I did on Charlie's.
Randy the Hot Dog Guy, Liberty and Long avenues, Hillside. There is no more colorful hot dog vendor than Randy Pollack, who serves a considerable side of shtick with his Sabrett's, Thumann and Grand Kosher dogs.
The Martin's potato rolls are a treat, and Pollack is a trip. The last time I was there he was talking about adding movies and turning his lot into a roadside attraction.
As if it isn't already.
Tommy's Hot Dogs, Jackson Street and Beach Avenue, Cape May; (609) 884-8388. Tommy Snyder — he's the one with the giant hot dog hat — is easily the state's funniest hot dog vendor. His patter is frantic, funny and never off-color.
His Berks dogs come in two varieties — Big Bad Dog (all-beef Black Angus on soft deli bun) and Leaner Wiener (pork and beef on steamed bun). Order one of the two, add your toppings; the Black Russian includes Russian dressing and black pepper rub; the Hot Tommy comes with Tabasco, tomatoes and onions.
Drinks come in three sizes — large, "smiddle'' and "really small.''
And don't miss the Potato Tornado, an irresistible parfait of mashed potatoes, chili sauce, cheddar cheese, salsa, banana peppers and sour cream.
Oh, and the Potato Tornado came way before Sharknado. | <urn:uuid:4262cbb7-d997-42c0-b464-0328643a0c95> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.nj.com/entertainment/dining/index.ssf/2013/07/best_hot_dogs_in_jersey_a_list_from_the_big_dogs_driver.html | 2014-11-25T23:17:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931004246.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155644-00141-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.914602 | 1,958 |

TUCSON, ARIZONA -- The Siena Heights softball team tallied two more notches in the win column on day four of competition in the Tucson Invitational Games. Kayla Boland led the Saints with four hits in seven at-bats on the afternoon.
Final Scores: Game 1: Siena Heights 4, Northwestern College (Iowa) 1 | Game 2: Siena Heights 10, Dakota Wesleyan 0 (5 innings)
Location: Tucson, Arizona (Lincoln Park Field 8)
Records: Siena Heights (7-1), Northwestern (Iowa) (4-6), Dakota Wesleyan (3-12)
HOW IT HAPPENED
Game 1: Siena Heights def. Northwestern (Iowa), 4-1
Neither team scored until the 4th-inning when the Red Raiders brought a run in on a double to right center for the 1-0 lead.
Ashley Helmink hit a triple to right field to lead off the bottom half of the 5th-inning for the Saints. Hayley Turk was walked, putting runners on the corners. A Northwestern error allowed Vanessa Wandrie to reach first and score Helmink to tie the game at one.
Siena put three more runs on the board in the 6th-inning. The first came on an RBI-double by Helmink that scored Taylor Mowery and gave the Saints their first lead of the game (2-1). Lauren Valdez used an RBI-single to center field by Kayla Boland to score and double the lead for SHU (2-1). Jordan Bianchi hit a sacrifice fly to left field that scored Helmink and increased the Siena lead to three runs (4-1).
Game 2: Siena Heights def. Dakota Wesleyan, 10-0 (5 innings)
Kayla Boland singled to the pitcher to start the 2nd-inning for Siena. An error by the Tigers would put Jordan Bianchi on first base on her sacrifice bunt that moved Boland to scoring position. Kristi Carlson walked to load the bases before Sam Hill singled to left center field and scored Bianchi and Boland to give the Saints a 2-0 lead. Lily Guerra singled down the left field line to score Carlson and the score would move to 3-0 in favor of SHU.
With two runners on base in the 3rd-inning, Carlson singled to right to load the bases. Sam Hill walked and Bianchi scored from third base to bring the score to 4-0. Guerra hit a sacrifice fly to center that moved Hill to second, Carlson to third, and scored Mowery on the tag. Kelsey Uhl finished the scoring in the inning with a two RBI-single that increased the Saint lead to 7-0.
Izzy Howay singled up the middle in the 5th-inning to bring Hill to home plate. Abriana Hicks recorded an RBI fielder's choice that moved Uhl to third and scored Howay. Boland singled to center field to allow Uhl to cross home plate and tally the final run of the game.

With so many things to see and do, roaming around London can be thirsty work. Fortunately, however, any dehydration can be easily solved thanks to the wonderful cocktail of people who produce and dispense an eclectic selection of beverages across the capital.
We’ve highlighted a selection of our favourites for summer below, all of which provide an insight into London’s history, diversity and creativity – as well as refreshment!
SW4 London Dry Gin and Tonic: Graphic Bar, Golden Square
London may have a chequered history when it comes to gin consumption, but there is something of a renaissance happening at present and you have lots of fantastic, independent London-made gins to choose from. Try Clapham-made SW4 gin at Graphic Bar in Soho, which is excellent in a G&T.
Shaky Pete’s Ginger Brew: The Hawksmoor, various locations
For anyone that likes ginger beer, this refreshing grown-up version is an absolute delight. A mix of gin, ginger syrup, lemon juice and London Pride, it was invented by “Shaky Pete” – the Hawksmoor‘s bartender par excellence – and will have you fizzing at any time of day.
Ocho Curado Tequila: La Perla, Covent Garden
Tequila may not seem like the most obvious choice for London summer drinking, but then Ocho Curado might just change your entire perception of the drink. Produced by Tomas Estes, the man behind London’s popular Café Pacifico chain, Ocho Curado is made by infusing Estes’ own Ochotequila with cooked agave. This results in a delicious, sweet and complex drink that is perfect to sip on its own – leave your salt and lime at home and head down to La Perla to find out for yourself!
Sipsmith Summer Cup: National Theatre Propstore
This modern version of a traditional English fruit “cup” – usually a flavoursome gin-based spirit designed to be mixed with a soft drink – is produced in Hammersmith at the acclaimed Sipsmith distillery. As it is packed with summery fruits and flavours, it inevitably attracts comparison with Pimm’s, but is well worth savouring in its own right on a sunny day. The National Theatre‘s playful riverside pop-up, Propstore, is a great venue in which to do so.
Meantime London Pale Ale: The Old Brewery, Greenwich
You can’t go wrong with a cool beer on a hot day, and if you head to the Old Brewery in Greenwich you’ll get an extensive history lesson along with your pint. Not only is it located in the beautiful surroundings of The Old Royal Naval College, but its well-stocked bar allows you to sample a range of different beer styles from the Meantime Brewery. Many of these, including Pale Ale, have been drunk by Londoners for hundreds of years.

Placement season can be a stressful AND a very confusing time for youngsters. On one hand, you have to deal with the pressure of starting your career on the right note and on the other, you are bombarded with a lot of pretty conflicting advice.
Be confident, but don’t be cocky.
Give detailed answers, but don’t talk too much.
And my favourite – BE YOURSELF!!
It’s no wonder then youngsters on the less-confident, more-introvert spectrum sometimes gets left behind in the placement race. Many of them are brilliant and would likely prove to be valuable employees, but a hiring manager never gets to see their value in a chaotic group discussion or a short interview.
But placement season can trip up the confident and smart ones too. Sometimes, in order to stand out, they tend to overplay their hands. The desire to make an impression could make them talk too much or say the wrong things.
So, how do first-time job seekers find a balance? Well, clearly, practising for interviews in front of the mirror is not going to work – what youngsters need is professional guidance – from someone wiser and experienced in the art of cracking the job placement process.
This is where training for placements becomes a valuable tool for students preparing to start their professional journeys. At SoaringEagles, we conduct a group-based, weekend programme called Acing Placements. This is an experiential learning programme, which uses a combination of self-assessments, role-plays, and a host of mock sessions to prepare students for group discussions and personal interviews.
Let’s take a deeper look at what our placement training programme offers and how it can benefit the students.
- Understanding Yourself
How can you present your best side or manage your weaknesses if you don’t know what they are?
At SoaringEagles, we believe that we all have strengths and weak spots; but when we understand our personality, motivations and triggers, only then can we control them or turn them to our advantage – not only in an interview but also in other situations that might arise in the years to come.
We use a variety of tests and self-assessment exercises to help students understand themselves better. Along with this knowledge, we also help them maximize their assets and work towards covering their weak spots.
Participants can –
- Uncover their personality traits
- Recognise their skill sets and motivation drivers
- Perform a Personal SWOT analysis
- Researching The Companies & Job Profiles
Every organisation has unique job requirements, culture, and approach. Do your skills fit into this?
An important part of our training is to help participants understand how to research companies and analyse the offered job profile. Students can use this information to tailor their resume and approach for each organisation. They can highlight their skills and abilities to align with what the organisation might be looking for.
- Company analysis
- Understanding job requirements
- How to align themselves with the company and the role
- Preparing for group discussions
Group discussions are no one’s favourite! It is a strained conversation, where it’s hard to find the right balance between being too aggressive or too shy. But it is the first big filter of the placement process; to get a chance for one-on-one interview students NEED to get through this part.
Training can be really helpful to help students pass this stage with confidence. With practical mock discussions and lots of tips, we help students prepare well for these sessions.
Students learn –
- In-depth knowledge on how to present ideas
- Extensive body language tips
- Strategies to excel in group discussions
- Practice opportunities to hone their skills
- Getting Ready For Personal Interviews
If the skills on the resume match the job profile, then the student is halfway to the finish line already. Now all the youngster has to do is to back up what’s on paper with his/her personality.
For this confidence and clarity is key. From communication skills to stress management, our training sessions are geared toward ensuring that students enter the room at their best.
The session focuses on –
- Taking them through a variety of interview styles
- Teaching them to handle challenging questions
- Helping them create a strong elevator pitch
- Explaining some strategies to excel in interviews
- Giving tips on what questions to ask
- Teaching them how to handle stress during the interview
There is little doubt that approaching a placement situation with professional preparation and guidance can increase the chances of landing the job, but the benefits extend far beyond that.
The skills learned here are not just limited to the upcoming interview – abilities like communication or body language can be used for the rest of a participant’s professional career.
At SoaringEagles we conduct group-based placement training sessions. So if you are an educational institution looking to give your students an extra boost for the next placement season then do get in touch. We will be happy to help! | <urn:uuid:7f19182b-d52d-4b54-b35e-7ee0124ff661> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://soaringeagles.in/job-placement-training-programmes-what-they-teach-and-how-they-help-youngsters-land-better-jobs/ | 2019-11-22T07:00:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496671245.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20191122065327-20191122093327-00327.warc.gz | en | 0.937145 | 1,037 |
So, how has the Internet been treating you lately? That’s at the crux of the question of net neutrality. Ignore all those warnings about Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai destroying the World Wide Web as we know it. Life will go on, and so will the Internet – for better or for worse.
The cacophony from the left began as soon as Mr. Pai made his recent announcement that he would ask the commissioners to vote to end a policy established under the Barack Obama administration called “net neutrality.” Simply put, net neutrality benefited one giant special interest, while ending it benefited another giant special interest. Each side tried, with mixed success, to explain why this change affected actual Americans who use the internet.
Some internet users in Connecticut have been alarmed by the rhetoric of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy (it’s “an all-out assault on the free and open internet”), and Comptroller Kevin P. Lembo (it’s “a deeply troubling reversal that benefits the powerful few over the millions of Americans, particularly working families and small businesses”). These officials fail to grasp that when the federal government injects its own vision of competitive fairness into the process, freedom recedes.
Under net neutrality, internet service providers such as Comcast and Verizon operate under the heavy thumb of the federal government. They are hamstrung in their ability to compete – to slow access to some services and charge others more for access.
Without net neutrality, the ISPs have more freedom, but companies that own search engines or social-media sites might encounter higher costs or other obstructions. Emphasis on might. Such behavior by ISPs wasn’t unheard of – recall the Netflix slowdown imposed by Comcast in 2014, and Netflix’ subsequent agreement to pay more for access – but typically was neither common nor unjustified by economic reality.
As Brian Dellinger, a professor of computer science at Pennsylvania’s Grove City College, noted Dec. 12, “Nor are the corporations supporting net neutrality any more trustworthy than the ISPs.” It’s rent-seeking, no matter who does it, and everybody does it.
Beginning in the mid-1990s, the Internet has been a powerful force for economic growth, communication, news and entertainment. For all but two of those years, there was no net neutrality – just a free-for-all that the federal government never really figured out how to manage, if managing it were even possible. | <urn:uuid:ed71caba-3aa8-46aa-93d4-2c6d6b30739d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://archives.rep-am.com/2017/12/21/net-neutrality-life-goes-on-in-its-absence/ | 2019-07-16T10:59:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524522.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716095720-20190716121720-00547.warc.gz | en | 0.948405 | 514 |

Whether you grow traditional orange carrots, or raise a rainbow of purple, red, white and red varieties, these crunchy, colorful veggies are fun to raise and good for you.
But they’re also tricky to grow. Carrots need deep, loose soil, and when they aren’t happy in the garden, their roots become stunted, twisted or forked.
One of the secrets to growing great carrots is giving them the right nutrients. Start by testing your soil with a purchased kit, or, if your county extension service office offers testing, send a soil sample from your garden. Most offices will give you instructions, but in general, you’ll need to collect some dry or slightly moist soil from several spots in the garden, digging from one inch deep to as much as 6 inches deep in each spot. Mix the soil in a bucket and send in only the requested amount—two cups is usually enough. Be sure to tell the extension agent what you want to grow, and allow a few weeks for the results to be processed.
Add the amendments your test indicates and work them in. Carrots love potassium, among other nutrients, so if your garden is lacking, work in some wood ash. Other common amendments include lime, manure or other organic matter and fertilizer. Stick to the amounts shown by your test; too much can do more harm than good.
Dig or till deeply to give these root crops room to develop. For varieties with long roots, work the soil 12 to 16 inches deep, or choose shorter, stubbier types. All carrots need soil that is free of weeds, grass, rocks, sticks and other debris.
Another tip for success: grow your carrots in a raised bed instead of the ground. If you keep your bed about 4 feet wide, you’ll be able to reach into it and avoid walking around your plants as they grow, which compacts the soil. In a raised bed, loosen the soil 8 or 9 inches deep, or as deep as you can go.
An ideal garden spot for carrots will also have well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8 and full sun for at least eight hours a day. Wait until the soil temperature is 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit to plant, or at least until the soil temperature stays above 60 degrees F.
Carrots dislike transplanting, so sow the seeds outdoors, about 1/8-inch deep, in rows spaced 15 inches apart. An easy planting tip: space the seeds along the ground and lightly rake the soil over them with your hand. They should make light contact with the soil, so pat them down gently, and keep them moist.
But watch out. If you have heavy rains, your soil may become compacted and crust over as it dries out, preventing the seeds from germinating. If the seeds don’t sprout in two or three weeks, sow again. You can also use an old gardener’s trick to keep track of your carrot seeds, and mix some radish seeds with them. The radish seeds will come up first to help you remember where you planted.
Once the seedlings are about an inch high, thin them to 2 to 3 inches, or as the seed packet indicates for your variety.
Don’t let your carrots become completely dry. Mulch with newspaper, weed block or even a light layer of grass clippings to help keep moisture in the soil and control weeds. When weeds appear, pull them by hand or cut them off at the soil line so you don’t disturb the carrots’ feeder roots.
Fertilize with a formula that promotes root growth, rather than one with a lot of nitrogen, which promotes foliage. A 5-10-10 formula with 5 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphate and 10 percent potassium, is fine. Give the carrots about one inch of water a week.
Read your seed packet to estimate when the carrots are ready to harvest, or start pulling them when they’re finger-sized. You don’t have to pull them all at once. Leave some in the ground to stagger your supply of fresh veggies for the table.
Carrots to try in your garden:
- ‘Red-Cored Chantenay’ – Recommended for heavy or clay soils, these carrots grow about 6 inches long and are crisp and tender.
- ‘Scarlet Nantes’ – Flavorful and mild, this carrot grows to 16 inches. Harvest the roots while they’re immature for a sweet, tender flavor.
- ‘Short 'n Sweet‘ – Bred for poor soils, these 4-inch long, bright orange carrots can be grown in containers and mature in about 68 days.
- ‘Thumbelina’ – This All-America Winner is great for snacking and growing in containers. Harvest the carrots in about 70 days, or when they are about the size of golf balls.
- ‘Purple Dragon’ – This sweet, eye-catching carrot has a purple skin and a yellow-orange core. Shred it into slaws and salads to enjoy the colors.
- ‘SugarSnax’ – Disease-resistant ‘SugarSnax’ forms 9 to 10-inch tapered roots. They’re smooth and deep orange in color. | <urn:uuid:4427c787-e4cb-42d1-a8b3-bc8d1ef481e1> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.hgtv.com/outdoors/flowers-and-plants/vegetables/growing-carrots | 2017-06-29T00:44:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323808.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629000723-20170629020723-00236.warc.gz | en | 0.936228 | 1,112 |

Although it comes as no surprise to a seasoned, studied journalist like myself, some may be a bit shocked to know that Lana Del Rey‘s newest song pulls some inspiration for our favorite electronic music genre.
The trap, of course.
That is right, folks. Even pop star Lana Del Rey knows a thing or two about running the coveted trap. Hats off to her for exploring and working with such a different set of sounds, keeping fans on their tows and giving them what they want. On this particular track, the instrumentals and language, and dark, doubled vocals match echoing creepy melodies give way to audible perfection. While the quality of music is nothing new, this sound and the last song from her new album showcase new sides of Del Rey, ones we have only seen or heard her hint at in the past. And while she has been remixed into every dance music genre under the sun, none of her releases have sounded anything quite like this one. Personally, I expect nothing more than versatility and excellence from this goddess of modern music. She truly is an unstoppable female powerhouse. Who would want to stop this anyway.
Listen her to Lana Del Rey’s, “High By the Beach,” from her latest album entitled Honeymoon.

Commercial-off-the-shelf software components are considered an important technology for future software development. However, compared to their potential benefit, their market success has been modest. This article discusses how unrestricted proliferation of functionally similar software components is technically and economically disadvantageous. Software patents can slow it further by channeling it into either additional applications of existing technology or more significant improvements to that technology. This would facilitate component-based software reuse and strengthen COTS software's weak business model. | <urn:uuid:eab3e519-8c36-4606-9005-6612ebc1ab89> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?reload=true&arnumber=1003460&contentType=Journals+%26+Magazines | 2014-12-20T12:26:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802769844.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075249-00140-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946501 | 101 |
PayPal is Having IPN Issues, DPD Vendors affected
- January 28, 2013
- No Comments
There have been numerous reports of purchases failing to activate in DPD this morning.
This is caused by a failure of the IPN system on PayPal’s side as outlined in this post by PayPal. As of Jan 28, 12:00 PM PST (Jan 28, 8:00 PM GMT) the IPN system is still broken.
If PayPal does not send the IPNs we can’t activate downloads. This will cause purchases to not appear in your DPD admin and no downloads or activation codes will be delivered by DPD. This is not a problem with DPD or your account- this is a failure of the PayPal payment notification system and there is nothing DPD or the vendor can do except to wait for them to fix it.
Updates from PayPal:
UPDATE 5: We have implemented a fix and IPNs for transactions processed after Jan 28, 10:47 AM PST (Jan 28, 6:47 PM GMT) are being sent now. We are expecting IPNs for new transactions to start being delivered in near real-time within the next hour. We are also estimating that missing IPNs for transactions processed between Jan 27, 11:04 PM PST (Jan 28, 7:04 AM GMT) and Jan 28, 10:47 AM PST (Jan 28, 6:47 PM GMT) will be delivered within the next 24 hours.
We will provide the next update by Jan 28, 3:30 PM PST (Jan 28, 11:30 PM GMT).
UPDATE 6: IPNs for new transactions are currently being delivered in near real-time. We are currently deliverying the IPNs for transactions between Jan 27, 11:04 PM PST (Jan 28, 7:04 AM GMT) and Jan 28, 10:47 AM PST (Jan 28, 6:47 PM GMT). We expect to complete this within the next 24 hours.
We will provide the next update by Jan 28, 7:00 PM PST (Jan 29, 3:00 AM GMT).

“I Love Lucy (Nov. 27, 1959)
“The gang is headed to Japan for Ricky’s two-week tour of Tokyo, and stay at the Hotel Teito. Lucy’s one wish is for a string of real pearls, and when she meets actor Bob Cummings she convinces him to help her acquire some. She steals money from Fred, and then is forced to give it – and the pearls – back. In the end, big-hearted Ricky buys her the pearls.”
– I Love Lucy: Celebrating 50 Years of Love and Laughter, Elisabeth Edwards, 2010
Hotel Teito, across from the Imperial Palace, near Otemachi Gate, with Mount Fuji on the horizon. The building had originally housed the Forestry Office of the Imperial Household when constructed c. 1910-1920. During the early years of the Occupation, it was refurbished and reopened in 1947 as a hotel. Although nationally-owned, the hotel was operated by Occupation forces until 1952. The site would be razed in 1960 and replaced with the Palace Hotel (1961-2009).
The Teito Hotel figured in an episode of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, in 1959, “The Ricardos Go To Japan,” when it became the hotel the Ricardos stayed at. Show description for Episode 12 from the wiki: “Lucy wants real pearls while in Tokyo, Japan, and finds herself dressing up as a geisha to see that she gets them.

Politicians, policymakers and much of the public have largely ignored dire warnings
about the disastrous consequences of climate change for decades. As its effects
grow more obvious and immediate, some voices say it’s already too late.
Karla Shaffer doesn’t want to hear that.
The political science major and student government president at the University of
Scranton is determined to bring more young Americans into the discussion of
environmental justice for the planet and the people, animals and plants who live on
“It’s important for people my age to get involved in this,” the 21-year-old Doylestown
native said Monday as we chatted about two upcoming public comment sessions
with officials of the state Department of Environmental Protection. The first, a virtual
online hearing, is scheduled for Wednesday evening, followed by a meeting at the
university’s Loyola Science Center on Monday night.
Both forums offer opportunities to help shape environmental justice policy in a state
that has been exploited by extraction industries for most of its 235-year history. A
better future commonwealth depends upon the Pennsylvanians alive today.
“I think you have to approach this topic delicately, because if we say that it’s too late,
people are going to feel disheartened, and they won’t want to do anything about it,”
“So it’s not too late. But at the same time, we have to act very urgently to fix what
we’ve done. In the time humans have been on Earth since the Industrial Revolution,
we’ve done a lot of damage.”
Evidence abounds, particularly here in Northeast Pennsylvania. The coal barons who
strip-mined the region and its people for anthracite came back to frack for natural gas. Gas burns cleaner than coal, but it’s still a fossil fuel that pollutes the
environment and accelerates climate change.
In May, a PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center report on greenhouse gas
emissions named the Lackawanna Energy Center in Jessup and the Moxie Freedom
Generating Station in Salem Twp. among “Pennsylvania’s Dirty Dozen.” According to
PennEnvironment, the Jessup plant emitted 3.75 million tons of greenhouse gases in
2021. The Luzerne County facility spewed 2.6 million tons.
Greenhouse gas emissions have public health and quality of life impacts state
“watchdogs” like DEP are loathe to examine too closely or acknowledge too firmly,
which is why anyone who breathes should issue a sigh of relief for advocacy groups
like Physicians for Social Responsibility Pennsylvania (PSR PA). The nonprofit
recently presented a townhall discussion on the health hazards of fracking at the
Shaffer, a former intern at PSR PA, organized the event and was encouraged by the
“I would say, of the people that showed up in person, a good third of them were
people my age,” she said. The Aquinas, the university’s exceptional student
newspaper, was also a welcome attendee, Shaffer said.
All are welcome to attend Wednesday’s online event and Monday’s meeting on
campus. Visit http://www.dep.pa.gov/EJPolicyRevision to register for the virtual
gathering, slated for 5-7 p.m. The on-campus meeting is Monday from 6-8 p.m. in
Room 133 of the university’s Loyola Science Center, 100 Linden St., Scranton.
Pat Clark, a leader of Friends of Lackawanna, was looking forward to both events
when we spoke Tuesday. The grassroots group fighting the unconscionable 40-
plus-year expansion of Keystone Sanitary Landfill in Dunmore and Throop is a
model of people pulling together to pressure politicians and policymakers to
protect the health of the public they swore oaths to serve.
Clark pointed out that public testimony collected at the two events could impact
environmental justice policy for years to come.
“Environmental justice policy has always been full of noble intentions, but no teeth
or enforceability,” he said. “The intent here is to see whether we can get some teeth
That can only happen if the public puts its voice out front, especially young
Americans who have the most to lose from climate change.
“Really, it comes down to my generation to see the world through a lens of
sustainability,” Shaffer said. “It’s not just something that environmental science
students should worry about. … It’s completely interdisciplinary. There’s space in
every major, in every career, for you to think about being more sustainable and
thinking about the world and what you’re doing …
“Because we’re the ones who have to live in it, and we’re already very much seeing
the effects of it. It’s not something that’s going to affect us in the future. It’s affecting

Wooden Upcycled Cars
A beautiful expensive luxury car is just like a fantasy or a dream. Expensive cars really look like the ones which are hundreds and thousands of dollars spent on. Which one is your dream princess, Limousine, Ferrari, Mercedese Lamborghini or vintage? Oops, looks like the limit is crossed. But here we come with an even bigger and greater idea; do the ugly scars and dents on your new car irritate and hurt you? The main body or structure of your car is made of some metal which needs frequent polishing, denting and painting. Why not to give a totally new and different look to the auto mobiles changing its entire dimension, make the outer body of your car with up cycled wood, yes! This is not a folly.
There are hundreds and thousands of new and old, cheap and expensive cars on the road. A new BMW on the road do not make any distinction to already running hundreds of BMW’s on the road, but a new BMW shaped car, made or up cycled with wood not the metal, it really is something mind boggling and shaking! Isn’t it? Of course it is. The wooden body of your car is going to give it an entirely different and royal look; you are going to be noticed everywhere for sure, where ever you ride on your new up cycled wooden car. Just buy some old car from the workshop whose body is depreciated to a scrap due to rust but the engine and rest of the parts are repairable. Now make its body by up cycling the wood and color it of your choice relatively near to wood’s natural colors and look, your car is quite different and worth appreciation among all other ordinary branded cars. | <urn:uuid:39b15a20-f0d0-4fd5-8e5b-4de275bd2de4> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.upcycleart.info/diy-how-tos/wooden-upcycled-cars/ | 2020-11-28T19:30:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141195745.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20201128184858-20201128214858-00004.warc.gz | en | 0.96612 | 362 |
Led by the return of 174-pound New England champion Kyle Roosa '13 (photo upper right) and NEWA runner-up Jefferson Ajayi '13 (photo lower left) at 184 pounds, Wesleyan has gained the attention of the regional and national pollsters as the Cardinals are ranked #1 in New England (Nov. 7) and #28 nationally (Oct. 28) heading into the 2011-12 season. The Cardinals return eight starters from a year ago as the team is coming off a banner 16-3-1 campaign. Featured among the team's accomplishments in 2010-11 were a NEWA Duals title, an 11-match win streak, two substamtial victories over Little Three rival Williams (28-7 and 30-10) and a third-place finish in the NEWA Championships with seven placewinnwers.
Back as starters from 2010-11 are 133-pounder Maika Nagata '13 (15-5 duals), 141-pounder Nick Scotto '13 (7-4 duals), 149-pounder and team tri-captain Howard Tobochnik '13 (photo middle left, 15-5 duals, 5th at NEWAs). 157-pounder Troy Sampson '14 (11-6 duals, 6th at NEWAs), 165-pounder and team tri-captain Tom Oddo '12 (photo upper left, 11-7 duals), Roosa (16-4 duals), Ajayi (15-4 duals) and 197-pounder and team tri-captain Luke Erickson '12 (photo middle right, 11-6 duals, 5th at NEWAs). The Cardinals also return four individuals - Greg Faxon '14 (141), Alex Cannon '14 (149), Jake Barack '14 (147) and Jake Sheffer '14 (hwt) - who placed among the top three in their respective weight class with at least eight entries in the NEWA Futures Tournament. The Cardinals also welcome a bumper crop of newcomers to solidify the ranks and give the Cardinals talent for years to come.
The squad competed in a preseason tournament at Roger Williams Sat., Nov. 12 as exhibition activity before beginning the regular season Sat., Nov 19 in the annual Doug Parker Invitational at Springfield. Wesleyan inaugurates the dual-match season Sat., Dec. 10 vs. Rhode Island College in a match slated for a webcast.
At the Doug Parker, Wesleyan finished fifth of 15 squads with 67 team points. Leading the way were Ajayi and Roosa as each reached the finals with Roosa dropping an 11-6 title decision at 174 pounds to Ryan Dormann of Stevens Tech in a battle of nationally ranked athletes as Dormann is fifth and Roosa seventh in the latest rankings. Three other Cardinals reached the consolation semi-finals with Nagata (133), Tobochnik (149) and Erickson (197) turning the trick. The next outing for the squad comes up Sat., Dec. 3 when the Cardinals venture to RIT for its annual Invitational. | <urn:uuid:64e3d6b5-45a7-4ec6-93b8-3dd5adfc580f> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.wesleyan.edu/athletics/news/2011/11/wrestpreview2011-12.html | 2014-03-10T23:47:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011056097/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305091736-00001-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.929289 | 641 |
If you own a condominium you need the same kind of insurance as any homeowner does. You also own personal property like clothes, guns, electronics and furniture that needs to be insured.
The condo association's insurance usually covers the common areas you share with others in your building (walls out), like the roof, basement, elevator, boiler and walkways for the association’s liability and physical damage, but not much more. These policies are intended to protect the association owner for direct damage to their property. Condo associations should also have Directors and Officers Insurance to protect against alleged or actual financial losses from third parties including individual condo owners.
That leaves a lot of items to be covered under a condo owner's property policy. Condo owner insurance typically covers what the condo association's insurance doesn't; personal property, liability, the owner's portion of the building, and loss of use. Condo owners also can purchase added coverage including water backup, flood, earthquake, umbrella, fine arts, and jewelry insurance.
It is important to note that not all homeowner’s policies are created equal, and what one company offers may not be the same as another company. Also keep in mind, if you bought your policy online, who really knows what coverage you have?

Battery manufacturer LG Chem released a new residential energy storage product under a new name on Thursday.
This month, the South Korean conglomerate spun out its battery division, which serves the home, grid and electric vehicle markets, as the singular LG Energy Solution. On Thursday, the newly independent company revealed the RESU16H Prime, a residential battery geared for the U.S. backup market. Products will arrive in the U.S. in January and will also ship to Canada and Australia.
LG's earlier RESU10H provided 5 kilowatts/10 kilowatt-hours of storage. The new release expands that to 7 kilowatts/16 kilowatt-hours of usable energy, giving it more power and energy than rivals like the Tesla Powerwall.
The smaller iteration often forced homeowners to select critical loads for backup. The new and improved model is billed as strong enough to power a whole home when the grid goes down. Larger households can double up for more capacity.
That's timely, in that Americans are largely stuck at home due to the national failure to contain the coronavirus. In California, the largest home battery market, residents have endured (and are still enduring) a record wildfire season, which brought utility power shutoffs to thousands of homes in arid regions. And the U.S. residential storage market has installed record amounts for six straight quarters, according to Wood Mackenzie research.
"We all want to be self-reliant, we all want to protect ourselves, our families, our neighbors," said Linh Tran, director of sales for LG's North American residential storage business, at a virtual launch event Thursday. "If there’s a power outage, we have more at risk now than ever before. We need to be prepared."
The announcement followed on the heels of a product recall of certain earlier models of the RESU due to overheating concerns, reported by Greentech Media earlier this month. Customers with affected battery packs will get a free replacement manufactured in 2020, the company said. The product recall was not discussed during the virtual launch for the Prime system.
The newly released product incorporates technological improvements such as a modular design: two battery modules slot into a connection plate, and a control unit connects on top. That is meant to make handling and installation easier than it would be with a single, heavy package, and it allows for easy replacement of control equipment, if needed. The product also comes with smart panel technology from startup Span, and it is compatible with numerous inverter providers. LG did not disclose a suggested retail price.
The more powerful design also positions the brand to compete in a more crowded market that is shifting toward more powerful and longer-lasting home backup.
Tesla has not substantially updated its Powerwall since the second-edition launch in 2016; the carmaker had its hands full making cars. But Generac, the incumbent leader in home backup via diesel generators, entered the battery market and this summer launched a souped-up product: the PWRCell delivers 9 kilowatts of instantaneous discharge capacity and holds 18 kilowatt-hours of energy. Generac said that device can turn on energy-intensive devices including air conditioners and well pumps, something less powerful storage devices cannot do.
German home battery company sonnen expanded its lineup recently with the sonnenCore, a 5-kilowatt/10-kilowatt-hour model that retails for around $9,500. That competes in the same niche as LG Chem's previous product, but it's a more affordable option than sonnen's previous offerings. | <urn:uuid:b14c5403-0fd6-4f04-aa85-061048d87bbd> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/lg-launches-new-higher-power-home-battery-backup | 2021-04-16T03:01:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038088471.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20210416012946-20210416042946-00418.warc.gz | en | 0.949598 | 736 |

How Do Water Softeners Work?
Water softeners are a popular choice for homeowners looking to protect their homes and family from the damaging effects of hard water. Hard water can cause dry skin, scale build-up on appliances and water heaters, lowered pressure, and endless appliance repair bills.
(Looking for Montana water filtration maintenance? Contact us today!)
There is no one size fits all solution to the problem of water, which is why it’s important to work with your local water experts to determine the best system for your unique needs and environment. They can perform a test on your water to determine the hardness level and prescribe a system that is most effective for you.
The basic work of a water softener is to remove the calcium and magnesium ions that cause hard water through a process called ion exchange. During this process, sodium is introduced into the water and the resin beads within the media tank exchange their negative charges for positive sodium.
Ion exchange is a common industrial method of removing hard minerals and can be applied to remove iron also. However, the amount of sodium that is added to softened water is usually very small and not at all harmful to humans or animals.
When a water softener is in operation, it collects calcium and magnesium from your home’s water supply. From time to time, the water softener will flush these hard minerals away through a drain located on the back of the unit.
In this way, the resin tanks in your softener’s tank are cleaned and recharged, ensuring that they can continue to remove hardness from your water for as long as possible. Most systems will have a meter in their control valve that will judge when to regenerate.
During regeneration, the salt that is dissolved in the brine tank is used to clean out the resin beads, which allows the system to continue providing soft water for your family. This process also provides the sodium that is needed to complete the ion exchange.
The amount of sodium that is released during this process is not at all harmful to human or animal health and can be a source of essential vitamins. In fact, most of the sodium in softened water is less than 2% of the recommended daily intake.
Another benefit to using a water softener is that it does not create any salty waste for your plumbing system, unlike some other water conditioning systems. If you have a well, it is wise to install a sediment filter in front of your water softener to prevent the clogging of your pipes that occurs when the softener’s waste goes into the well.
A water softener is a convenient, cost-effective solution for addressing hard water in your home. It not only prevents the damage caused by hard water, but it can also improve your skin and hair, reduce laundry detergent costs and extend the life of your appliances.
There are several types of water softeners available on the market, but they all share one thing in common: They all replace the ions that cause hardness with sodium ions. Sodium ions are able to dissolve and replace the metal ions that makeup calcium and magnesium, without the same damaging effects. The most commonly used type of water softener is the ion exchange system. It is very familiar to homeowners, and it includes a large tank filled with salt pellets. | <urn:uuid:3713083b-89da-460b-b60b-392787204fe5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mcgowanh2o.com/water-softeners-how-do-they-work/ | 2023-09-25T12:41:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233508977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20230925115505-20230925145505-00565.warc.gz | en | 0.957514 | 670 |
The withdrawal of Thomas Leuluai from the side to face France tomorrow morning (NZT) is a blow for the Kiwis but it gives Shaun Johnson and Kieran Foran another chance to develop their relationship in the halves.
Johnson and Foran are likely to be the first-choice combination as the World Cup heads into the knockout stages but Leuluai still has a crucial role to play off the bench as backup at hooker and in the halves.
He lasted only 30 minutes of training yesterday before succumbing to his groin injury and was scratched from the side to play France in Avignon. It's hoped the injury will settle down sufficiently for him to play in the Kiwis' final pool game against Papua New Guinea the following weekend.
Foran has had a heavy diet of football this season, helping Manly through to the NRL grand final, but welcomed the call-up.
"I don't feel like I need a break," he said. "I'm feeling fresh, considering. I feel like I can put in a good effort each week so I'm happy to be playing."
It means he will play his fourth match with Johnson. The pair first combined in this year's Anzac test and, with both in their early-20s, it's likely to be a partnership with a long future.
Foran is supposed to provide the strong, steady influence. He takes the ball to the line, is a good organiser and excellent defender. Johnson, on the other hand, is the flashy one with the deft pass, pronounced step and terrific pace.
It's a good combination of skills.
They showed signs of their development against Samoa when they popped up together on the right edge alongside Sonny Bill Williams and Dean Whare, which provided the side with plenty of options and a number of threats. It might have something to do with the influence of assistant coach Ivan Cleary because it is a common tactic used at Penrith.
Johnson is learning how to control games, something he did to reasonable effect at times this season with the Warriors, and it often means controlling his natural urges.
"For me at the moment it's about laying a solid platform for the boys so we can move forward in this competition," Johnson told reporters. "There will be room for the flashy stuff and footwork. I hope it comes out but, at the moment, I'm just trying to do the basics really well."
He should get a chance to express himself a bit more against France. The home side, ranked fourth in the world, have shown little form in recent weeks after being beaten 22-18 by the United States in a World Cup warmup and then relying on Papua New Guinea goalkicker David Mead missing a late penalty from in front of the posts to win 9-8 in their opening game of the tournament.
The French were once considered the best team in the world and hosted the first World Cup in 1954. They have won 14 of the 53 games played against the Kiwis but the last came in 1980 when they won 6-5 in Perpignan. They drew 16-16 in Palmerston North in 1995.
Tomorrow morning's match sees a short turnaround for both teams after playing in Britain on Monday morning (NZT). The Kiwis endured a difficult travel schedule, flying from Liverpool on a budget airline to Nice before a three-hour bus journey to Avignon, but they were better off than the French, who were stuck in London because of weather delays.
Coach Stephen Kearney has made six changes - he originally made seven with Leuluai - to give everyone a chance to push for a starting spot. One is fullback Kevin Locke, who gets an opportunity in place of Josh Hoffman.
"My performance this year was a bit up and down so I'm very grateful to get the opportunity," he told the official World Cup website.
"When I got the phone call from Stephen Kearney, he said it's about how badly I want it, how hard I'm prepared to train and how much I'll fight for it. I play my best when I'm fit and focused so I'm heading into this as best I can." | <urn:uuid:d1217a10-c4d3-47e0-a690-37e9fdb9bbd3> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11149640 | 2015-08-02T21:08:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042989234.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002309-00031-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97472 | 854 |
