Western Omelette Muffins
Fully loaded Western Omelette Muffins are an easy make-ahead breakfast idea that will give you simple and portable breakfasts for a week!
A quick scan of my blog and you might notice that egg dishes are one of my favourite make-ahead breakfast ideas; my Spinach Breakfast Casserole and my Breakfast Egg Bake are staples in my kitchen. The reason I love them so much is because I think they are such a filling way to start the day. Eggs have a bad reputation, and quite frankly I’m sick of it. It is a huge misconception that eggs are an unhealthy choice. In fact, I think people should be far more afraid of their store-bought cereals, granolas, breads and muffins than an innocent little egg! Eggs are a 100% natural food that and are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. A single whole egg contains 13 essential nutrients, 6 grams of protein, and is a rich in healthy omega-3 fats. As with any foods, the quality of the eggs you buy determines how nutritious they actually are, so here are a few things to look for.
- Organic: In the grocery store, shop for organic eggs whenever possible. Organic eggs come from hens raised in a free range system with access to the outdoors. Hens are fed a certified organic feed.
- Pasture-Raised: Go beyond organic and look for pasture-raised eggs. Pasture-raised eggs ensure the hens spent time outside, weather permitting in Canada, as well as on the barn floor.
- Local Farms: In my opinion, the best way to buy eggs is directly from a local farm or farmers market. Organic and pasture-raised eggs are often available from local farms providing some of the freshest and best quality eggs around.
Egg labelling can get really confusing with buzz words like ‘enriched’, ‘omega-3’, ‘free-run’ and ‘free-range’, so the more you know, the more you know what to look for. Check out this great Guide to Buying Eggs from the Canadian Egg Farmers so you are well equipped to make informed decisions. These Western Omelette Muffins are quick to prepare and make a great on-the-go breakfast option, but also as a simple school or office lunch.
Western Omelette Muffins
These Western Omelette Muffins are a simple breakfast recipe that everyone will love. I find pre-cooking the vegetables helps make them a little more tender once the omelette muffins are cooked, and you can truly add any vegetables you like.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 12 servings 1x
- Category: Breakfast
- Cuisine: Paleo, Gluten-Free
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 red onion, minced
- 4 pieces bacon or ham
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 cup milk (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a skillet on medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove from pan and set aside on paper towel to remove any excess oil.
- In the same pan, add the diced bell peppers and onion and cook until soft and tender, about 5 minutes. Once soft, remove from the heat and set aside.
- While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the eggs. Crack the eggs into a large bowl or measuring cup, season with salt and pepper, and whisk to combine. If you are adding milk, combine and whisk it with the eggs at this point.
- Grease the muffin tin. Add a very small amount of butter or olive oil to each muffin cup, just enough to ensure the egg muffins don’t stick once they are cooked. You can also use muffins liner if you wish.
- Spread the vegetable mixture evening across all 12 muffin cups. Roughly chop cooked bacon into bite size pieces and portion across muffin cups as well.
- Give the eggs another good whisk and pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin tin.
- Transfer the muffin tray to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until muffins are cooked all the way thru.
- Once cooked, remove muffins from the oven and allow to cool. Once cooled, removed muffins from their tins.
- The omelette muffins can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days.
- Serve warm or cold, and enjoy! | <urn:uuid:512051f6-bc10-4464-b623-e7cee9689e34> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://kaynutrition.com/2017/03/western-omelette-muffins/print/4959/ | 2019-11-16T01:56:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668716.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20191116005339-20191116033339-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.918915 | 993 |

This episode of GED Connection is called Statistics and Probability." In it, the host and guests talk about where statistics come from and how to calculate the likelihood of something happening. Examples are g iven about how and where statistics ome into play in our daily lives. Government officials use the national census to figure out how much mo ney to spend and where to spend it. When certain people in the census are unaccounted for, a statistical equation is used. Marketers and pol lsters pick a sample of the population to do their research, and the a ccuaracy of that data depends on how well the sample is chosen. The di fferent types of samples that are covered are: random, systematic, and self-selected. This program also covers polls and surverys and explai ns margin of error. Probability (also called odds) is discussed using coins and playing cards as examples. Figuring out the odds in a situat ion is also used in daily life as well, like weighing the risk of a se rious medical

Tommi Nieminen did an investigative study for the Finnish newspaper, Sanomat, about the extent of guns in his nation. About 650,000 Finns in a nation of 5,000,000 have guns in their possession. About 1.2 million of the 1.6 million guns are legal hunting weapons and 200,000-300,000 are legal handguns. HIs investigation found police officials confused after the two serious school shootings that took place in the past year. There is no national register of who has guns and it is difficult for local police officials to keep track as to who has a weapon. During the latest shooting, the young man actually was in a police station discussing his gun before he was sent away.
Niminen talked with dozens of gun dealers who know customers have assault weapons, hand grenades, and other lethal fire arms that are not registered with the police. There is no way to check the medical history of an applicant for a weapon and in most small towns and villages the local police chief allows people he knows to readily obtain a fire arm.
The issue is not whether a person should be allowed to use a rifle for hunting, but whether it is permissible to own lethal weapons that have nothing to do with hunting or self defense. | <urn:uuid:7c802464-9cb6-4861-a9bf-9264cf5aeee3> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://theimpudentobserver.com/tag/gun-ownership/ | 2017-03-23T12:26:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218186895.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212946-00451-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976934 | 256 |
To open the Timeline view, double-click on a state in the Graph Editor. The Timeline appears as another tab in the Story window. The name of the tab is taken from the Maya source file that the state comes from, and the Timeline includes all the other states from that source file.
You can have multiple Timeline views open in separate tabs, each showing the states from different Maya source files. Double-clicking on a state in the Graph Editor that's already open in a Timeline will not open a new Timeline. The currently open Timeline will simply pan (scroll) to the chosen state.
In the Timeline, each state in the source file is listed in order on the left side of the window, along with any tracks it has underneath. To the right, each state is represented under the animation frame numbers, along the same tracks.
You can click on the title bar of a state to select it. Its properties will appear in the Properties window. You can also drag on the title bar to move a state to a different frame range. Note that, as you move your mouse over the Timeline, a vertical line appears showing you which frame the mouse is currently over. This is useful when moving states or actions to a specific frame.
You can not change the duration of a state directly in the Timeline, however you can change the duration in the Properties window.
To help navigate in the Timeline, you can:
- Press the "F" key to frame the selected state.
- Press the Option key or space bar and drag the mouse to pan.
- Press the Option key or space bar and right-click-drag to zoom.
It is possible to drag a state so that it overlaps the frame range of another state. However, you can not drag a state so that its starting frame is earlier than the starting frame of a previous state. If you do, the Story Editor will move the state back to a later frame, which will appear the next time you open the Timeline.
The rows of tracks under a state name show you the actions that occur during the frame range of that state.
Tracks are present for your convenience, and are used only for visual organization. You can choose to have a track for each action, or you can place all the actions in one track.
To add a track to a state, right-click on the title bar and choose Add Track. As new tracks are created, they are auto-numbered to be unique. But you can change the name by right-clicking on the track and choosing Rename Track.
To delete a track, right-click on the track and choose Delete Track. A track also disappears if you move or delete all the actions it includes. You can delete all empty tracks at once by right-clicking and choosing Delete ALL Empty Tracks.
To add an action to a track, right-click in the track at the desired frame and choose from the Create Action menu. For more information on the actions available, see Actions.
Depending on its properties, an action appears in a track as either instant (diamond icon) or with a duration. Click on an action to see its properties in the Properties window. You can also multi-select or drag select actions and all of their properties will appear in the Properties window.
You can drag actions to different frames and different tracks in a state. You can even drag actions to different states. Note, however, that if you move the beginning of an action to a frame that is not in any state's frame range, the action will never launch. | <urn:uuid:cb8c60f7-c16c-4fee-897f-66eded8a9ca6> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://developers.google.com/spotlight-stories/reference/timeline | 2018-12-18T21:11:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376829812.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20181218204638-20181218230638-00520.warc.gz | en | 0.930628 | 734 |

WASHINGTON, March 3. -- Denying that President Hoover was entitled to all the credit for the program for economic rehabilitation of the country, Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic; Executive Committee, in a radio address over the National Broadcasting System tonight, pictured Mr. Hoover as a "monumental failure" as Chief Executive. He declared that today "the Democratic prospects are brighter than they have been at any time in twenty years."

For day 10 of Becky’s blue squares.
On day 9 of Becky’s blue squares, it’s another trip to the aquarium.
The iconic National Park region of New South Wales is called the Blue Mountains. As you can see in the photo, for Becky’s July blue squares, they aren’t exactly blue, but got the name from a fascinating fact, involving other blues…
The range is covered in eucalypts, or gum trees, many of them Blue Gums (seen in the foreground). In the heat, they emit a mist of eucalyptus oil which refracts the light, causing a blue haze at a distance. (www.sydney.visitorsbureau.com.au/regions/blue-mountains.html). You’ll find most mountains/hills in coastal Australia will appear blue at a distance for this reason. | <urn:uuid:79cb18d0-a63b-4cb6-bfaa-cdfd2460e205> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://over50travel.blog/author/kzmcb/page/2/ | 2019-07-18T00:48:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525483.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718001934-20190718023934-00223.warc.gz | en | 0.899596 | 194 |
Sightings of guitar god, Jimmy Page walking around Seattle have surfaced. He visited Green Lake where the old Aqua Theater used to stand.. Led Zeppelin played in that very theater May 11th, 1969. It's pretty incredible to see this legend reminiscing in our very own city...

Day 34 - Friday, July 12, 2002
Total to date: 2347.35 miles (3777.7 km)
Moving time: 5 hr 47 min.
Average Speed: 8.8 mph (14.2 km/hr)
Total ascent: 4495 ft. (1370.1 m)
Minimum elevation: 6171 ft. (1880.9 m)
Maximum elevation: 9497 ft. (2894.7 m)
Ending elevation: 8919 ft. (2718.5 m)
Wind: Variable all day but they didn't help or hurt - we were climbing. There was a wicked cross wind for the last three mile downhill run into town.
Strong day of climbin'
Boy, am I glad I got that granny gear chainring in Canon City! I did some very serious climbing today up into the sky. Joe and I are still riding together. We started out at about 6200 feet and ended up climbing to nearly 9500 feet. There wasn't much along the route and the traffic was fairly light.
We now measure riding success in feet instead of miles. Even though I only rode 51 miles I climbed to a final elevation that is over 2700 feet above the starting elevation. Riding at this elevation is tough because the air is thin. Breathing is a littlle difficult, muscles fatigue easily, and I have a feeling of light headedness and euphoria. These are common symptoms of working out at high elevation. Luckily I've worked up to this elevation slowly instead of just flying in. I haven't felt ill or dizzy which is good.
Here is a shot looking south on route 9 at the Park/Fremont County line that shows the grade of hills we climbed all day:
We had lunch at a very small town about one mile off route called Guffey. The town has an official population of ten people and sports a very sparse collection of buildings including a tiny regional school, a post office, and a building with a bar, restaurant, and general store. We ate at the bar and had some very serious and excellent Angus burgers. It turns out that the owner is from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and one of the other guys that was there is from Lewistown, Pennsylvania. Both towns are within a few hours drive of my home.
Currant Creek Pass is the first major pass on the route at nearly 9500 feet above sea level. Here are some shots from the pass:
Tomorrow we'll climb over Hoosier Pass, the highest point on the route at over 11,500 feet. It's then a general downhill run for about 60 miles into Kremmling.
Currant Creek Pass looking north
Currant Creek Pass looking south
Here are two interesting pictures. The first shows a pasture full of longhorn cattle. The second shows how the trees only grown on the north side of hills and mountains around here. Most trees are fairly short and are almost exclusively evergreens.
We camped out back of the restaurant since the cabin rentals in town are $70 per night. We met a dude named Ziggy who is an eastbound rider. He's a pretty crazy dude who claims his home is his bike although his parents live in Florida. He piched his tent with ours and will head out in the morning. We probably won't talk to him in the morning because he sleeps in. | <urn:uuid:1f833cc7-10d8-4d45-bf6a-6ac3bb86ebe7> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.discoveryride.com/log/34.html | 2017-05-23T12:46:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607636.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523122457-20170523142457-00549.warc.gz | en | 0.973534 | 702 |
Net Geners are better at switching attention and multitasking
When I look at my own children, their friends, and legions of other Net Geners, this is what I see: They're faster than I am at switching tasks, and better than I am at blocking out background noise. They can work effectively with music playing and news coming in from Facebook. They can keep up their social networks while they concentrate on work; they seem to need this to feel comfortable. I think they've learned to live in a world where they're bombarded with information, so that they can block out the TV or other distractions while they focus on the task at hand.
Kids don’t really have ADD, they’re just bored
So why do some Net Geners seem to have attention deficit disorder in class? Isn't it possible that the answer is because they're bored -- both with the slow pace and with the content of the lecture? Researcher Marc Prensky thinks so. "Their attention spans are not short for games, for example, or for music, or rollerblading, or for spending time on the Internet, or anything else that actually interests them," he writes. "It isn't that they can't pay attention, they just choose not to."
Prioritizing passion over homework is alright
The Times piece ends with the story of Vishal, who after a long Sunday on his computer is finally getting to his homework at 11pm. But we learn that Vishal's time online was in fact editing his new film. Vishal is a budding film director! Sure, he should get to his homework earlier. But the reader is left wondering how Vishal's passion for his craft, and his laser-like focus on editing over a 12-hour period is somehow evidence that he has lost his intellect or his attention span.
The evidence suggests that many young people today are using technology to become smarter and more capable than their parents ever could be; and, like Vishal, to accomplish important, perhaps great things. Rather than kids losing their attention spans there is a stronger case to be made that growing up digital is equipping today's youth with the mental skills, such as scanning and quick mental switching, that they'll need to deal with today's overflow of information. The superior performance for many of them, as evidence by university graduation rates show they know when they have to focus, just as the most intelligent members of my generation did. They may think and process information in a different way than most boomers do, but that doesn't stop them from coming up with brilliant insights, new models of doing business, new ways of collaborating; or, for that matter, creating a carefully edited film as a teenager.

U.S. Coast Guard Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) are discovering Fuel Oil Quick-Closing Valves (QCVs) intentionally blocked, modified, and poorly maintained preventing them from operating as designed during an emergency.
QCVs are positive shutoff valves on fuel oil systems serving to isolate fuel tanks in the event of a fire and also prevent “fueling” of a fire in circumstances where system piping and components are compromised. In some circumstances they could be the only means of securing the fuel to a flammable liquid fire. These valves are designed to be remotely operated. Inoperable QCVs create a very serious hazardous condition putting the vessel and its crew at greater risk in the event of a fire.
Blocking or disabling these valves is unacceptable under any circumstance. It is absolutely critical that they operate correctly, are maintained, and ready for use at all times. Proper routine maintenance, and in some cases approved modifications and / or replacement of components may be necessary to ensure reliability of the remote operator and closure of the valve.
Owners /operators, vessel engineers, PSCOs, Class society and other machinery space inspection personnel must fully understand the critical nature and importance of QCVs and associated systems. Crewmember knowledge of testing, operation, maintenance and repair, in addition to related documentation and required spare parts are essential elements to evaluate during an inspection. International regulations require that positive shutoff valves located outside the fuel tank be capable of being closed from a safe position from outside the space concerned.
The U.S. Coast Guard strongly recommends that owners /operators, vessel engineers, PSCOs, Class society and other machinery space inspection personnel ensure:
a) The QCV operating system is capable of remotely closing all valves as designed; some systems close valves sequentially and others simultaneously.
b) There is a maintenance plan in place including technical manuals containing diagrams and information that describe the system components, required spare parts, operation, maintenance and repair.
c) That all engine department personnel can identify the location of each valve, the respective remote closure and how to close them locally and remotely in an emergency.
Note: During Coast Guard PSC Exams, vessel engineers should be able to explain maintenance requirements of the system, and provide operational test and maintenance records. Engineers should be able to describe how test the valves, reset them after closure, and understand their operational importance. Vessels with inoperable QCVs may be subject to an operational control.

There are endless educational possibilities for iPods and iPads as classroom
instructional devices. The most wonderful part of using iPods to teach is that
you only have to teach content--not how to use the device as most kids have
played with an IPod before or know a parent, etc that has an iPhone. My
favorite apps on the IPods are facejack and the QR code reader.
Facejack is a fun app that closely resembles the Blabberize website. A
picture is uploaded into the app, the mouth of the picture defined and then the
students record something into the app that they want the picture to say. When
done, the mouth moves and the students can hear the picture speak in their
voice! Great for fluency and biographies!!
I am also attaching the cheat sheet that was created to help teachers remember how to use an IPod touch. This cheat sheet was created by a colleague of mine who had to do a presentation for her graduate class. My job was to mentor her through this presentation. For more ideas on how to use iPods in the classroom check out the presentation on this site: http://www.ideastoinspire.co.uk/ipodtouch.htm
Hi, my name is Melanie Lewis. I am an Instructional Technology Resource Teacher for Amherst County Public Schools, located in the beautiful state of Virginia. I LOVE my job! I get to work on my hobby, anything that has to do with computers. I get to work with teachers and students, and I am definitely a people person. Plus, I DO NOT have to give grades. Wonderful, huh? Let me know how I can help you better integrate technology into your classroom.

Identify public relations opportunities for the product.
The product is a handheld device that can be used take an order while the waiter is standing at the table and send the order directly to a screen in the kitchen. When the customer is done eating the waiter will be able to show the customer their bill on the handheld device and, if the customer chooses to pay with a credit card, the device will be able to scan the credit card and print out a receipt without having to leave the customer. This system will reduce the time the waiter takes to obtain and process an order and settle the bill with the customer. The device will also eliminate some paper used because the only printout is the customer's credit card receipt.
I think the key to this new product is the fact that it will eliminate paper. The green movement is a huge gem in the PR field these days, as everyone wants to be more environmentally friendly. By launching a new product that is completely 'virtual' in nature - i.e no paper is a very big advantage that the company can capitalize on.

*A Night Owl Review Top Pick! 4.5/5 stars!*
What I found was a beautiful novel that, although it is quite dark in many spots, tells the story of a young girl who is torn between the powers of good and evil and trying to protect her heart and those she cares about. I am quite eager to read Falling Angels.
Ali Maney is a typical high school teenager. Nothing special ever happens to her. As a student at Millennium High in Manhattan, sure, a few weird things have happened, a few suicides over the years, but nothing really bizarre. Until one day, in English class, when a hugely popular football player, Tyler, suddenly pitches himself off the roof to his death. Ali and her two best friends, Molly and Jen, are positive that Tyler’s death was not intentional. As they investigate, the bad boy in town starts to notice Ali. Daemon is gorgeous! Ali is shocked, but amazed. What could he want with her? As she ponders this, three new students arrive. Kian, Krysta, and Nathaniel all seem to have something…..different about them. Ali is floored when Kian appears more than interested in her too. What is she to do with two gorgeous guys after her? But not everything is as it seems. As Ali gets closer to each Daemon and Kian, the forces of the supernatural will come closer as well. One has been sent to protect, one has been sent to kill. Can Ali be saved? Or is she in way over her pretty little head? Enjoy this first book in the YA Manhattan Urban Angel Suspense.

I sensed there to be so much more to his feelings in that moment. Feelings about his past, his future...me? We only had a few minutes before the next bell, but as we walked to my P.E. class, I couldn’t stop thinking about how difficult his life must have been. Orphaned. On the New York streets alone, and not able to intimately touch anyone. I began to realize how much the Angelfire sacrificed just to keep the streets safe from demons, and I squeezed Kian’s hand tightly. It was the one small act I could do without causing him harm.
“Afraid?” he asked, knowing he would have to leave me alone for fifty minutes.
“No.” I shook my head, and something like pride for him washed over me, “just glad I found you.”
“Me too.” He hooked his fingers into my back pant pocket with only the fabric of my pants keeping his skin from mine, keeping his passion from washing over into me. But I felt fortunate. I might never be able to kiss him, or hold him so close that I couldn’t breathe, but we shared something in that hallway, something I never felt before...something that made me tingle | <urn:uuid:f5531879-a488-43d1-b921-bc50f9951f50> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.thebookwormlodge.com/featured-books/she-speaks-to-angels-author-ami-blackwelder | 2020-01-28T13:53:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251778272.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20200128122813-20200128152813-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.981241 | 636 |

by Ned Smith member of the Dixieland chapter
Our 1960 Chris Craft was purchased new in 1960 to my parents. The boat “Belle of Shaley Shores” was named after my sister, Barbara and my mother, Nelle. Their lake house was named “Shaley Shores.” When the parents got tired of the lake house and boat, I took over ownership of the boat (and boathouse) in 1975.
I’ve since had two engines in her – my sister had “thrown a rod” in the Lincoln 430, and we put a Chris Craft 327 (210 hp) in her. In 1989, that engine was beginning to show wear (and I wanted more hp). I then put the Olds 455 (from a jet boat) in her — I had to have the engine again re-built and had to re-plumb it. That is the last engine in her.
The Belle is housed on Pickwick Lake of the Tennessee River (at the confluence of Tenn., Alabama, and Miss. We’ve had her all up and down the Tennessee River (on Dixieland “Tennessee River Cruises”) as well as other trips. I had a new 5200 bottom on her in 2007, and expect her to stay in the boathouse for years to come. | <urn:uuid:de63e5f5-6ced-4c69-9c39-b5282a948185> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://acbs.org/its-a-family-thing/ | 2022-08-14T01:13:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571989.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813232744-20220814022744-00707.warc.gz | en | 0.991034 | 284 |
Have you ever worked with a Christian brother or sister who was struggling with issues of faith? At one point or another every one of us hits a wall, runs into quicksand, gets burdened down with issues of life and the that fire we had starts to cool. Well the author of the Letter to the Hebrews used a great device that we can use to help anyone we know who is struggling.
As we read through Hebrews we find a little grammatical device that is used to edify and build faith. This device or tool usually begins with the expression “let us.”
When an author used this simple grammatical device, he/she exhort (strongly encourage) someone to join in with them in an action. They could exhort one to join in and help start an action that had not yet begun.
Or the could exhort someone to join in an action that had begun already: namely an action that was in progress and in which the author or speaker was already engaged.
In Hebrews, both kinds were used by the author. See his “Let Us Exhortation” below.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (KJV)
In this passage, “Let us” signifies that the author is already engaged in the action of boldly coming to the throne of Grace. He is presently coming to this throne to get some things.
First, he goes there to obtain mercy. Second, he goes there to find grace to help. Third, he goes there to get the above two things in a timely fashion, when the need arises.
By using the “Let Us Exhortation Device,” our author exhorts his readers to join in with him in an action already in progress and in which the author himself is already engaged.
He is already coming boldly into the very throne room of God himself. He is coming into that awesome room to get some things.
He does it boldly. He is not a wimp. He knows who he is. He knows what the promises are. He knows what is his.
He goes in boldly to get them. He exhorts all his readers to join in with him in this ongoing action. We should also join in with him in this ongoing action.
This Abrahamic promise included healing, prosperity and family well being in addition to salvation. We are also assured of the promises provided by Jesus himself. The promise of healing, salvation, eternal life, and freedom.
The blessings he had are also ours by grafting. Gentile Christians are included in this same Abrahamic covenant right along with the Jews. Consequently, healing, prosperity, family well being as well as salvation belong to us also.
For these reasons we can come into the throne room just as boldly as the author of Hebrews. No wonder this author used this faith building, Greek device to exhort us ( we Gentile Christians are included by grafting) to enter into this same throne room right along with him. We have the same right to enter and get what we need when we need it.
So here we are, let us go now to the Thrown of God. Do you need healing, prosperity, family well being in addition to your salvation, enter the throne to obtain not only your need but more importantly communion with God. You have been given the ‘right’ through adoption, through being grafted into the the family. Or maybe i should say it the way John did in 1 John 3:1 “Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God”! | <urn:uuid:30335807-a61d-4a1c-ac68-f6ba0b4f3e2c> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://johnsebooks.com/let-us-draw-near/ | 2019-11-13T19:53:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496667333.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113191653-20191113215653-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.983148 | 769 |
Publications by Dr. Christian Nunlist
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) is the most comprehensive regional security organization. With its 57 participating states it comprises the whole of Europe as well as the Eurasian and Euro-Atlantic region. Inscribed in its DNA is the idea of providing a platform for dialogue between East and West. The OSCE, which can look back at over 40 years of existence, survived all major geopolitical events in recent history, including the end of the Cold War. In the 21st century, however, the relevance of the OSCE has sharply declined. Since the late 1990s, it was increasingly debated whether the OSCE had indeed become irrelevant and whether it could again become an important player in Europe’s security architecture, bridging gaps and resolving conflicts between East and West. The year 2014 saw a reversal of this trend and suddenly put the OSCE in the international spotlight. The crisis in Ukraine, which began with a massive popular upheaval against the acting government and, following the overthrow of President Victor Yanukovych, evolved into a military confrontation with separatist militias in the East of the country, provoked a quick reaction from the OSCE which became the main actor to mediate between the conflict parties. Furthermore, the current chairmanship country, Switzerland, proved to be highly dedicated to the OSCE’s mission and invested a lot of effort in mediating between the conflict parties. The ongoing crisis in Ukraine not only revealed the OSCE’s lasting importance, but it also demonstrated the stark divide which still exists between the Western and Eastern participating states. Since the start of the crisis and especially following Russia’s annexation of Crimea, relations between Russia and the West reached a new low. Mutual accusations and bellicose rhetoric provide for a very unstable and uncooperative environment. In 2014, the gap between a resurgent Russia and the West became even deeper over the Ukraine Crisis. Nevertheless, despite a tense working mood and heated debates, the OSCE has managed to remain an important actor and its most important actions in Ukraine were approved by consensus from all 57 participating states. Thus, it seems that the opposing parties do not want to seriously compromise the organization’s ability to do its work. This is an indication that in times of crisis the OSCE remains an important and useful platform for dialogue between the East and West. | <urn:uuid:d2db1424-6122-48ea-a01c-26052968ba89> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.foraus.ch/people/dr-christian-nunlist/ | 2023-09-22T19:29:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506421.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922170343-20230922200343-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.968652 | 479 |
News of 27-year-old artist Dash Snow's death by a drug overdose spread with viral speed through the tight-knit New York art world this morning. Despite Snow's reputation for hard partying a 2007 New York Magazine cover story by Ariel Levy described his work as depicting a "very debauched and drug-addled and decadent" Neverland the news came as a shock to friends and associates whose most recent memories of him were happy ones.
Melissa Bent, of now-defunct New York gallery Rivington Arms, which showed Snow until spring 2008, says her first reaction to the news was that it might be a hoax. "Many years ago someone told someone else Dash had died," she recalls. "I thought this was another death by Twitter."
In the immediate aftermath of Snow's death, many of his closest friends and colleagues were unavailable for comment, but those who were painted a picture of someone who had recently overcome addiction, and whose efforts at recovery perhaps made him more prone to overdose. (The cause of death is, according to Bloomberg News, under investigation by the New York City Medical Examiner's office.) Since returning from rehab in the spring, Snow had embarked on a relatively tamer lifestyle built around his daughter, Secret, who is not yet 2 years old.
Bent met Snow through artist Dan Colen, one of Snow’s closest collaborators, in July of 2000. “Ever since I knew him it was a struggle with drugs. There was always a struggle with him trying to clean up, and wanting to,” she said.
Snow’s relationship with Rivington Arms ended on acrimonious terms, but, says Bent, she ran into the artist in front of Café Mogador with Secret about five weeks ago. “He seemed great and totally clean. He had been in rehab a lot before that, in St. Barts.” Bent’s understanding was that he bad been “down there for quite some time — the whole winter.”
Clarissa Dalrymple, a curator, tastemaker, and downtown personality who was close with Snow, saw him about three weeks ago. “He seemed absolutely terrific, not on drugs at all,” she said.
Reached by coincidence at the Menil Collection in Houston (Snow’s maternal grandmother is a De Menil, connecting him to wealthy art-world royalty), while in Texas to visit artist Mark Flood, Snow’s longtime friend and art dealer Javier Peres said: “People have misunderstood, because we haven’t spoken publicly about a lot of things. He comes from a complicated history. As a result, he dealt with his life as best he could. And fought to survive as long as he could. The things he did to cope with the strain of his own life were often misunderstood as partying.”
Peres characterized Snow as a “doting father” to Secret. As part of the group show “Story Without a Name,” currently on view in his Berlin gallery, Peres is showing Snow’s 2009 “Secret & Jade Upstate,” a grainy video of the artist’s daughter and girlfriend frolicking in the rural upstate New York property of artist and friend Jack Walls.
“I wouldn’t say he didn’t love living, but living for him was difficult,” says Peres, who adds that to his knowledge Snow was alone at the Lafayette House, a hotel in Lower Manhattan, on Monday night. “To simply say he overdosed on drugs is insufficient, because it wasn’t that simple. He died and there were drugs involved. He was complex and astute. He was very sensitive. Although he was only 27, he felt the pain of someone who’d lived a long life.”
Peres says the last time he saw Snow was when he was installing a group exhibition of work by Terence Koh, Jeff Koons, and Mike Kelley at Mary Boone Gallery in early April. “He photographed me and filmed me, we hung out, had dinner, he came to the gallery when I was installing.” Snow brought girlfriend Jade and daughter Secret to the after-party at the Eagle. “He looked amazing,” says Peres. “He had gained 35 pounds. He was at his best. I think his body was as clean as could be, as clean as he had been in quite a while.”
“He seemed very happy and alive and his grandmother Christophe was there and it was celebratory,” says Boone. “I’m happy that’s my memory of him.” It was clear, she says, that Snow “had made changes. He was laughing and smiling and playing with his child and taking photos.”
Although one source, who preferred not to be named, says that Snow may have been avoiding his studio because it brought back bad associations, Peres says he’d been at work on several projects, including work for a presentation for Peres’s gallery at London’s Frieze Art Fair in October work that, Peres says, may be complete at this point as well as pieces for an upcoming exhibition at Berlin gallery Contemporary Fine Arts.
Snow was determined to kick drugs, according to Peres. “He looked me dead in the eye and said, ‘I’m going to kick this fucking thing. I need to. I want to.’ We were planning shows. He was in that mind-set. He was doing the best he could.”
“The last time I saw him was less than a week ago,” says artist and close friend Aaron Young, reached in Miami. “He was with his daughter and [partner] Jade, in Soho, near my house. He seemed rejuvenated, and happy; we had a great conversation.”
“Dash was a huge inspiration for me,” says Young. “Sometimes people want to take shots at people who are privileged. But he made it all by himself.”
“He was a really lovely guy,” says downtown dealer James Fuentes, who shows the work of Snow’s wife (since separated), Agathe Snow. “He had incredible energy and it’s just really tragic and a loss for so many people in the art world. Everybody is just in complete shock; it’s totally awful, it’s still too fresh a wound for anyone to comprehend it.” | <urn:uuid:17a722d7-018a-4f6d-9201-c6f9d42a7b9f> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.vulture.com/2009/07/dash_snow_seemed_happy_and_hea.html?imw=Y&f=most-viewed-24h5 | 2013-05-22T13:24:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701760529/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105600-00051-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.991623 | 1,379 |
Agnes Kvilvang died the other day. She died while the world’s leaders compete to pull the plug for international unity. The idea of solidarity is going down the drain and disappearing at an alarming speed.
Now Agnes Kvilvang is gone, too. Few of our readers will know who she was, and this is not her obituary. This is a tribute to her ideas. About what this little, great woman stood for. Friends of Svalbard will know her.
We may need reminders like this when even democratic elections give rise to Sun Kings.
Agnes Kvilvang, leader of the Longyearbyen Workers Union, Division 142 of the Norwegian Labor Union, at 78 degrees North, main employee representative in the Store Norske coalmining company. She spent her life helping others, but died in the noise of presidents who are only looking to help themselves.
Mourning her is therefore due to something more than just a warm-hearted person being gone. It is the mourning over the fact that everything she stood for has been placed on a battlefield where egotism, cynicism and misanthropy threatens to get the upper hand.
When the republican president Ronald Reagan left his office, the used his final speech to remind everyone that the USA was a country in which everyone were welcome. A country where everyone could feel at home. A few years earlier, he had stood at Brandenburger Tor encouraging Michael Gorbatchev to tear down the wall that split Europe into two parts.
Us and them
Today, the White House is inhabited by a president elected to a higher office using lies and conceptions, one whose only goal is to shut borders and put people up against each other.
Agnes Kvilvang died while despots force their inhabitants to leave their homes and possessions.
These days, I am in particularly moved by images from Venezuela. The oil-rich country last year saw an inflation of unbelievable 1.3 million per cent. Salaries, for those who receive such, is worthless before the recipients can make their way to the bank or the shop.
Agnes Kvilvang died while international agreements on peace and disarmament are falling apart like dry Danish pastry crumbs.
Along our own border in the north, armament has resumed as if we were back to the Cold War. Weapons replace dialogue.
In this picture, Longyearbyen – where Agnes Kvilvang worked for many years – is like an international lighthouse. A treaty written as far back as in 1920 gave Norway sovereignty over the archipelago. Even today, the Treaty regulates international cooperation on the islands. Even when modern times catch up with nearly 100-year old phrases, the Treaty is nevertheless sustainable. Next year, we celebrate its anniversary and the Treaty has every precondition it needs to live on.
Generosity and solidarity
Being a union leader in a town that at the time of Agnes Kvilvang was more or less owned and run by a state-owned coalmining company, far away from the central government offices, demanded and still demands wholesome people. Living at 78 degrees North requires exactly the kind of generosity and solidarity between people that sometimes threatens both American and European democracies.
The Foreign Minister
In one of her many speeches during the High North conference Arctic Frontiers in Tromsø, Norway las week, [Norwegian] Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide emphasized how challenging it is to navigate this landscape. International agreements ripe for revision are left without revision out of fear that they will fall completely apart if touched at all. Participation in international cooperation is increasingly measured against Norway’s personal benefits and thus to a lesser extent in a multilateral perspective.
It may represent a necessary adjustment of Norwegian foreign policy.
For those of us living in the High North, it is nevertheless crucial that international relations are maintained and that we have a running dialogue with our great eastern neighbor.
We simply depend on the work Agnes Kvilvang did for workers in Longyearbyen, for the key ideas of Norwegian High North Policy, to survive and to continue playing a key part of the future Arctic.

Perle Systems Application Note
A multi-national leader in kiosk development and production for the retail sector. Since its inception in the mid 1990s, this company has grown significantly and has more than 44,000 points of distribution in various retail operations around the world. Today it continues to rollout new products to market at the rate of 5,000 units a year.
Business Challenge -
Since the early days of kiosk development, serial cards have played an instrumental role in integrating a variety of equipment, including receipt printers, touch screen interfaces, and internal card readers. As kiosk technology evolved, and integration requirements for units became more complex, the company was finding that the serial cards it normally used in its kiosk production were generating a number of problems that impacted the reliability of its equipment. Production of the units had to be halted until the reliability issues were resolved. Retailers – and their customers – were becoming increasingly impatient with substandard performance and wait times for repairs.
The company needed a reliable serial connectivity product that was easy to install, and flexible to handle all the functionality required. After extensive searching, it selected a Perle 4-Port Serial Card. In addition to providing the cards, Perle worked closely with the company to develop a driver that would work transparently with the kiosk operating system as well as provide interoperability with all present and future serial-based equipment used within the units.
The Perle 4-Port Serial Card was installed in all new production units and rollouts were resumed according to the original production schedule. In addition, the company's technical team went into the field to retrofit the existing kiosks with the new Perle Serial Card. With the Perle 4-Port Serial Card, the kiosk supplier was able to:
With Perle's expertise in serial-based technology, and flexible solutions, the kiosk production company was quickly and cost-effectively able to resolve an issue that could potentially have had a negative impact on both its revenues and its reputation in the market. Converting to the Perle 4-Port Serial Card allowed it to overcome a significant operational hurdle and carry on business as usual, while meeting the growing demands of its customer base. | <urn:uuid:07df44a8-11bc-4bb7-bd2c-139efd2f9d72> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.perle.com/applications_solutions/retail/kiosk.shtml | 2019-06-18T01:44:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998600.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618003227-20190618025227-00545.warc.gz | en | 0.972376 | 445 |

BIZERBA will be exhibiting in two booths at this year’s FachPack trade show in Nuremberg (Germany). From September 25-27, the focus at the main booth (booth #141 in hall 3A) will be on intelligent hardware for error-free labeling and end-to-end label inspection. In the center of the company’s presence, visitors will find the GLM-Ievo 40 fully automatic labeling system designed for heavy-duty logistics applications. Additional labeling and inspection systems as well as filling systems and terminals will be featured at the main booth. On the other hand, Bizerba‘s various label solutions will be in the spotlight at booth #517 in hall 9. From transparent film labels to thermal direct and multi-layer labels, visitors will be able to see how products can make a sustainable impression in a natural manner.
A new generation of fully automatic price labeling and labeling systems makes a sustainable impression in the factory floor and at the consumer. For instance, GLM-Ievo 40 is the ideal solution for situations requiring maximum performance in the logistics sector. The network-enabled, fully automatic labeling system was specifically developed for boxes, cartons and bulk packs and is capable of labeling large and heavy products. Thanks to its modular construction, it can be configured according to custom requirements and mounted at different positions depending on the environment at hand. In addition, the labeling unit can be equipped with thermal direct or thermal transfer printing technology. GLM-Ievo 40 is available in different versions. While the single-band version labels products on the scale in the start-stop mode, the four-band version featuring separate labeling bands excels in in-motion operation. Representing the highlight of Bizerba’s main booth at the FachPack 2018, it reliably meets all process requirements, providing flexibility, ruggedness and precise results even in the most difficult environments.
Modern fully automatic weigh price labelers like the GLM-Ievo 40 achieve maximum reliability and precision. Under rare circumstances, wrong label rolls can be loaded or a wrong overpack can be used due to external conditions. Camera-based inspection systems help to identify any faulty packages. For this purpose, Bizerba‘s PackSecure system can be integrated into a packaging line to eliminate any rework, complaints or product recalls resulting from labeling errors. High-resolution cameras featuring automatic height adjustment and high-speed data transfer capability inspect the package from the bottom to the top with minimum space requirements. High-resolution cameras featuring high-speed data transmission check the package for different criteria including the correct application of the label. Thanks to the modular design, a large variety of sensors can be integrated according to individual checking requirements. Faulty packages not meeting the pre-defined criteria are automatically ejected from production.
Additional exhibits at Bizerba’s main booth include the FSL-PRO S semi-automatic filling system and the iS75 industrial terminal. As a flexible, universal solution, the FSL-PRO S ensures the correct filling and weighing of hard-to-process, flammable, corrosive or foamy liquids. For instance, the system can be used in the paint and lacquer, chemical, petrochemical, construction material, pharmaceutical and food industry. Easily combinable with other solutions from Bizerba, the iS75 industrial terminal acts as the central switching and control unit in a variety of production environments. Boasting multi-functionality, the network-enabled, high-end solution can be used for counting, inspection and data acquisition purposes and reliable production control.
No matter if it is a bright red apple or a golden yellow banana – nature knows best how to present its products. Although labels from Bizerba do not compete with these natural advertising means, they provide products and packages with a very special, sustainable quality seal. Visitors of the company’s second booth (booth #517 in hall 9) can experience the charisma and informational power of Bizerba’s wide label portfolio at first hand. From special papers to foils with thermal-reactive surfaces and linerless label materials without carrier band, you will find a suitable solution for any requirement. For instance, visitors can get an overview of different thermal direct, decorative, special or organic film labels.
Special focus is put on the advantages of transparent thermal films and multi-layer labels. For this purpose, two versions of the GLP 160maxx label printer will be on display. While one device demonstrates the processing of transparent thermal films, the other highlights the strengths of variable multi-layer labels. As the major advantage of transparent thermal labels, the end consumer is provided with all important information about a product without restricting the view on the product. In addition, multi-layer labels excel with products and packages that require increased information on minimum space.
Bizerba offers its customers in industry, trade, and logistics a globally unique solutions portfolio of hardware and software around the central value "weight". This portfolio includes products and solutions related to slicing, processing, weighing, cashing, checking, commissioning and labeling. A wide range of services from consulting and service, labels and consumables to leasing complete the portfolio.
Since 1866 Bizerba has made a significant contribution to the developments in the area of weighing technology and today is represented in 120 countries. The customer base includes globally operating companies in trade and industry as well as retailers, bakeries and butcheries. With around 4.100 employees worldwide and with its headquarters in Balingen, Baden Wuerttemberg, Bizerba has been in the same family for five generations. Additional production facilities are located in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain, China and USA. Bizerba also has a global network of sales and service locations.

Nan Haynes is seventy-eight years old and my adopted grandmother. She also happens to be a Masters-4 Power-lifting World Champion.
In just under twelve months, this past year, she won the Missouri State, National, and World Championships. Oh, and four gold medals. And she has only been lifting for four years.
Power-lifting is a competitive strength sport that involves the athlete’s attempt to lift a maximum weight in three ways: squat, bench press, and dead-lift.
Highly demanding and extremely taxing, both physically and mentally, this seemingly straightforward skill takes years to master, concentration, discipline.
Nan was not always a competitive Power-lifter. She used to carry other weights. When she was fourteen, she was molested by her father, who used to be her hero.
At fifteen, she met a nineteen-year-old boy, fell in love. They were both so young. She got pregnant; they were married a month short of her sixteenth birthday.
Life moved on. He was a good man who loved her. They had four children together. But by her late thirties, they were all grown and had moved out. She was alone. The weight of the empty silence was crushing, the rage against her father resurfaced. She felt betrayed, robbed of her life. She discovered alcohol.
Wine made her feel whole and beautiful at a time and place in of her life when in which nothing else did, so she drank more and more. Gradually, that too became a weight.
While she did go to college and graduated when she was in her early forties, but the pull of anger and alcohol stifled any ambition she could have had. Then breast cancer happened; a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation.
Life is not fair or easy, but it is not deceitful either; we were never promised an easy ride. On her fiftieth birthday, Nan understood that. The rage against it and her her father was a powerful tool. She just had to learn to master it, channel it for her instead of against her.
Challenge accepted. On the 23rd of January, 1991, she set her wine glass down. Bill, her life’s companion, pledged to do so with her. Neither have drunk alcohol since.
Slowly but surely, she worked her way back to mental and physical health. She went through recovery. She began walking, taking aerobics classes, going to the gym. In 2011, she met her current coach who introduced her to Power-lifting. Training, healthy eating, group therapy, then one day,
‘You are ready to compete.’
At seventy-three, Nan entered her first Power-lifting competition. She won gold and set the Missouri State Record for her weight class and age group. She has since set this record four more times. In 2017, she set it nationally.
‘I could never have dreamed this would be my life today. Oh I complain and moan about my workout program some days but I stay healthy, semi sane and really enjoy my life. I have been truly blessed.’
– Nan Haynes
To excel as a power-lifter is to focus on three moves and perfect them. To defy gravity: the earth’s and one’s own. Nan does that every day.
By choosing her health, her life, her marriage. Not to drink or give in to the weight. Instead, she mentors young women like me, crochets beautifully, reads, and trains. This month she will be competing at another US National Event. Go get’em Nan. You inspire me. | <urn:uuid:d9881028-da33-4750-8417-3ef413f0e2d9> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://womanscape.com/2018/08/12/nan-haynes-lifting-the-weight-off-her-way/ | 2019-03-23T14:19:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202872.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20190323141433-20190323163433-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.987781 | 765 |
The Super Smash Bros. games for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS are to arrive soon. The Nintendo 3DS version of Super Smash Bros.former is planned for summer this year and Wii U version for the winter of 2014 .
It’s time for the attack of the video games! Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS will be coming on the scene. And when they do, within a few months of each other, the crowd of rabid gamers will be in a playing frenzy alright.
The developer of the two Super Smash Bros. games, Masahiro Sakurai has already made an announcement regarding the arrival of the game. The 3DS edition is to hit the shelves this summer while the Wii U version will come in winter.
An all-time favorite of aficionados, the Greninja, will feature in the game’s repertoire too. The 3DS game is to function smoothly in bouts of 60 frames per second.
Furthermore, a Smash Run mode exists too exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS Super Smash Bros. version. In this four game players have exactly five minutes to do their stuff which is part of an adventurous routine.
The animated characters that form the list of movable actors in the game include some past figures. And of course there is the all-new Greninja.
Zero Suit Samus is another one. Then the Sheik, Yoshi and Charizard all chip in their two cent’s worth of game-play. As for the online playability, it will be simply awesome.
The game is divided into a number of sections and stages which must be covered by the gamers. The game displays the Super Smash Brothers engaged in a battle with a dragon-like creature that looks to be quite evil. This monster’s skin color is orange and it has all the weapons it needs to fight the Italian mustachioed man.
Fire-breathing abilities and dangerous claws are just a few of the repellant features of the dragon. But the Super Smash Brothers have a few tricks up their sleeves too. They don’t give up without putting up a lot of resistance. | <urn:uuid:a632abda-c293-4afd-bdbc-21dae9d249bf> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.i4u.com/2014/04/71422/super-smash-bros-wii-u-and-3ds-arrive-soon | 2014-10-30T18:28:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637898644.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025818-00004-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.927415 | 441 |
The following are some of the most influential guitar players in my life. Unfortunately they are all dead. Musicians either die from drugs or transport accidents which is a down right shame for all of us. I hope you enjoy this cross section.
1. Jeff Healey
Jeff lost his vision to retinoblastoma and died from lung cancer in 2008. The guy was a guitar genius and here is a version of a popular song that highlights some of his skills.
Jeff Healey – Roadhouse Blues
2. Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stevie was killed when his helicopter crashed and was probably at the height of his career. This song I have picked is my absolute favourite.
Stevie Ray Vaughan – Pride and Joy
3. Rory Gallagher
Wow, this guy had it. Whatever it is Rory just had IT. Died following complications from a liver transplant, shame on you Gordon.
Rory Gallagher – Messin with the Kid
4. Gary Moore
Gary captivated me by his smoothness on the guitar. I rate him with Carlos Santana and Larry Carlton. Yes, you may want to have heard Still Got the Blues but this version of Red House shows all of Gary’s skills. Died from a heart attack in his sleep aged 58.
Gary Moore – Red House
5. Roy Buchanan
Unbelievable player that didn’t get the commercial success he deserved. Committed suicide in 1988. This song is by Tyrone Davis and was a big hit in 1969.
Roy Buchanan – Can I Change My Mind | <urn:uuid:3810f142-192d-4a2b-a77a-3b045ed34805> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://pigsarms.com.au/2014/10/30/five-great-blues-guitar-players/ | 2021-07-29T16:41:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153860.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20210729140649-20210729170649-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.978891 | 319 |
Commerce is arguably the oldest game in humanity’s playbook.
Exchanging stuff for other stuff was pretty much the kind of early communication that enabled an unprecedented level of collaboration between disparate groups of hairless apes, and which took our societies from roaming savannah tribes to a global space-faring civilisation.
Like any game, commerce has rules. Back to the earliest trades, these rules were likely set ad-hoc, either cemented by trust from an existing relationship, or imposed by the sharpest spear. Here’s ten apples for your chicken - nice doing business with you.
But boy did we come a long way from chicken trading.
As communities outgrew their relatedness and trade between strangers became the new black, this rulemaking-on-the-spot has proven to be unsurprisingly inadequate, even more so because commerce grew exponentially more complex. Trusting strangers to follow through on agreements became a nasty and costly problem.
To manage trust issues, humanity started adding institutions to the mix - governments, legal systems, and trade organisations were established to codify, maintain and enforce the rules that dictated how trade should work.
That’s pretty much where we have stood for the past few thousand years, with few if any changes to the structure itself. These stewards and authorities have been of great help at a time when commerce was bound by geography. However, as trading expanded into the global stage and the internet became a thing, it became increasingly clear that this system has not aged that gracefully.
And that is when bitcoin came up and for the first time in history we had a system where trust could be achieved without authority over the internet.
Unsurprisingly, the first use cases for this brand new trust layer was to trade stuff, with bitcoin being the first application and BTC (the token) playing the role of a digital bearer bond - digital cash. A decentralised, borderless and permissionless money.
Ever since bitcoin opened these trustless floodgates, the crypto community has been increasingly engaged in a polarised (and sometimes quite heated) debate between decentralising purists and institutional pragmatists over how to scale it into the world at large. Which - grossly oversimplifying - can be summarised by the question: how decentralised should we - or can we - get?
And that’s pretty much where we’re at right now.
Like with many other people working in the banking industry during the 2008 financial bust, Nicholas Gregory had a pretty rough surprise when his then-employers got bailed out of bankruptcy for tens (and later, hundreds) of billions of dollars of public money - only to emerge unscathed, unchanged, and with big, fat bonuses a couple of years later. That didn’t sit really well with Gregory:
On a Friday I was working for Merrill Lynch, on a Monday I was working for Bank of America, To have found out that your bank had been bailed out for 20 billion… it just really doesn’t make sense anymore.
Eventually, he started hearing about this magic internet money that was all the rage on the geekish parts of the web. Based in New York at that time, he started going to early bitcoin meet-ups, and even though he didn’t really believe in it at first, he got caught up by one of crypto’s foremost features: its community: “A lot of those people that were on these meet-ups were a lot like me. Had the same interests. Crypto has the same kind of crowd.”
As happens with the best of us, it was a slow burn for Gregory. It was only around 2012 that he actually started taking it seriously, and even longer to actually decide to go full throttle.
Because of the bottleneck created by the Bitlicense, a piece of legislation introduced by the state of New York that soon became a hurdle for both local users and companies that wanted to buy or sell bitcoin, a new market emerged in the city: the OTC (over-the-counter) market.
And it was by hanging out with other developers that he started knocking up ideas and building OTC software, looking into ways of making bitcoin more usable in finance. Finally, around 2015, he decided to focus full-time on it.
“I saw it as the future. I didn’t really want to be building Blockbusters when I could see Netflix.”
After contributing with a few projects in the space he decided to leverage his expertise in dealing with financial instruments to build CommerceBlock, as a way of bridging the gap between blockchains and real-world assets trading.
Bitcoin has this strange magnetism that draws great minds from all walks of life, each for their own particular reason and with very little in common on the surface. (Curiously enough, there’s a disproportionate amount of black belt-martial artists amongst its ranks, as is the case of Nicholas Gregory, Roger "Bitcoin Jesus" Ver, and Eric Voskuil, just to name a few - but that’s besides the point here).
A while later, Gregory brought in Tom Trevethan as CTO. Unlike people Gregory hung with at NYC meet-ups, Trevethan came from a completely different background. A PhD in Theoretical Physics, he had worked inside Academia doing computational physics before being bitten by the bitcoin bug. Before joining CommerceBlock, he had been doing research at nChain, one of the most recognisable names in the blockchain space.
Along with Trevethan’s expertise, Gregory and CommerceBlock set off building “open-source blockchain solutions for real-world assets & applications.” The company currently works closely with CoinShares, one of the biggest crypto investment companies in the world and responsible for XBT, the first bitcoin ETP product in Europe.
But how does CommerceBlock work, and how is it different from similar ideas?
CommerceBlock has not launched (nor does it intend to launch) its own blockchain. And unlike many of the start-ups that sprung up during the 2017 boom, they have funding from established clients that date back to Gregory’s OTC times. “One reason they invested in us is they wanted to get commodities on the blockchain”, he explains. And that’s exactly what he is aiming for.
The idea behind CommerceBlock is deceivingly simple. On the one hand, they build bespoke blockchain networks to clients that are hoping to take real-world assets into the blockchain - public, permissioned and customisable sidechains tailored to each client’s requirements.
That wouldn’t be new in and of itself. On the other hand, however, the real innovation is the integration of said sidechains with MainStay, a clever protocol that cryptographically pegs their clients’ chains to an established, robust, open network. Bitcoin is the obvious choice for the foreseeable future, but the system can be implemented over any blockchain, really.
By doing so, instead of the massive overhead and risk of building and managing their own chain, they are able to take advantage of bitcoin’s unmatched computational power and security. This system also avoids the pitfalls of both the “one chain to rule them all” approach (which is super hard to scale), and “blockchain intranets”, where each company creates their own closed system for fear of exposure to the public internet (we all know how that ended).
Even though they customise their networks according to clients’ needs, security and immutability are achieved by cryptographically committing the sidechain’s state periodically to the main chain. The networks are connected, but separate. This means that if any malicious actor ever plans on attacking or reversing transactions on a sidechain, they would have to back that by changing bitcoin’s history as well. Which by all measures is no mean feat.
Decentraland vs Authoritopolis?
But wait - permissioned chains? Doesn’t that go against the whole ethos of decentralising stuff?
As we mentioned earlier, we’re at a crossroads when it comes to what the next step should be for crypto. On the one side, purists reject each and every attempt at regulation. On the other, ultra-pragmatists believe KYC, AML and other acronyms should be pursued aggressively as the only way to get a crypto economy going. Keeping up with the zeitgeist of the 21st century, both sides seem pretty adamant that there can only be one right way.
One of the cool features behind CommerceBlock is that it offers the best of both worlds in a simple (and flexible) manner. It addresses not only the gap between real-world assets and the digital realm, but by taking into account our current financial and institutional reality, it also offers a bespoke stepping stone towards the crypto economy.
And thus, by not disregarding our existing reality nor trying to shove a full-fledged revolution down everyone’s throats, it may well succeed in accelerating adoption. In particular amongst big, established businesses, notoriously known for not hovering too far from the most conservative side of innovation.
How does it work?
Let’s illustrate how CommerceBlock works by using Gregory’s and Trevethan’s favourite example: platinum.
Say a platinum producer wants to trade platinum over the blockchain - let’s call it Plathereum, just because. Commerceblock would then create a bespoke chain for the client. The client would have full control over Plathereum, customising its openness, requirements, transparency, privacy, and even security (by establishing the number of independent nodes that will be responsible for validating all transactions, thus sharing the transaction fees).
These rules can include KYC, AML and other requirements for trading to take place in even the more regulated environments. So in order to join the Plathereum, traders may be required to go through KYC. If Plathereum needs to report on the sales of their platinum tokens, they need only provide regulators with a special key. The regulator can join the network by running a node and by using that key, they can have access to the required information - all of which is included in the sidechain’s code. And as Gregory explains,
The sidechain is the contract. But who owns the sidechain? Well, it actually is owned by a legal entity, there’s a company behind it. If they want to change the rules of the contract in the sidechain, they update the sidechain. But it’s a public permissioned blockchain. Anyone can download the source code, see a change in the rules, recompile it. You can verify it. [...] If it’s public, then the code is the law.
The best of both worlds
Transactions in the sidechain still happen directly between peers and don’t require an intermediary - people can buy their platinum straight from other people (or from the company itself) and trade freely. The main difference between Plathereum and bitcoin is that, since there’s a real-world asset involved, there is also legal accountability. And much like when buying a product, you have recourse in case one of the parties misbehaves.
What if the chain owner gets greedy and decides to change transactions, or make rules on the spot? Well, simple. You just sue them, like you would with any other breach of contract. It’s not the only solution around for dealing with legal ownership of digital assets (Mattereum also takes an interesting approach), but it’s one that has been working for ages in real life, as Gregory explains:
The responsibility is with the owner of the sidechain. If the sidechain would allow you to send money to someone on the FBI list, either the owner of the sidechain is going to get in trouble, or the KYC vendor. But there’s traceability to say who’s at fault, and that’s what the world needs. You need to sue people - that’s how the world works.
And building a case is a lot easier than in closed systems, as Trevethan points out,
Going back to trust, a lot of it is about having evidence when it comes to dispute resolution. Imagine you have your platinum just stored on a database and basically the company just says to you “your entry isn’t there.” Then it’s between your word and his. If you’re in a sidechain, you have independent truth and you can take it to the authorities to demonstrate.
Since the state of the sidechain is periodically committed to the bitcoin network, the wannabe manipulator better be ready to dispense copious amounts of processing power, as they would have to change bitcoin’s history too. The same goes for attacks to the sidechain. So Plathereum users can be sure that the transaction history won’t be “accidentally lost” or tampered with.
Sure, the sidechain isn’t fully decentralised. But then again, does it have to? By incorporating the peer-to-peer structure and doing away with the swarm of intermediaries, a lot of the friction - and cost - is removed from the system. As Gregory points out, "if you look at the real world, there’s many people you could trust. If you go straight from the source to a sidechain, there’s only one person to trust. Blockchains are removing all those intermediate levels."
If you look at the real world, there’s many people you could trust. If you go straight from the source to a sidechain, there’s only one people to trust. Blockchains are removing all those intermediate levels.
Plus, by not disregarding existing rules and regulations, it allows for a more seamless integration with our current economic reality, which may be more attractive to crypto outsiders. When the first message was relayed via telegraph, people didn’t go crazy and burn all post offices - hell, letters are still a thing to this day - but change did happen in time. For commerce in the blockchain, this certainly seems like a step in the right direction.
There is a lot more under the hood, of course, like the entire incentivisation system complete with a token economy, and many more details. We really recommend you check out CommerceBlock’s website for a full view of their vision. Also, if that’s your cup of tea, have a read of the MainStay whitepaper - it’s a nice read and an ingenious mechanism for leveraging trust from established networks.
The gist of it is, CommerceBlock doesn’t try to sell a distant (and perhaps utopian) future. They are removing intermediaries and offering greater transparency, efficiency, and perhaps as important, flexibility. They are building new toys for playing the age-old game of commerce, all the while offering a smooth onramp into a crypto economy; not a vertical cliff, but a gentle slope. And that’s arguably the sweet spot for adoption to take place.
Many great ideas die out because they were ahead of their time. The fully decentralised future, if it even arrives, may take many years, or decades. Putting the cart before the horses is a surefire way to fail - Facebook would never have worked on the yellow pages. The process may be slower than we might have hoped for, but successful ideas need to work in the real world for real people - and that’s something that Gregory, Trevethan, and Co. are fully aware of. | <urn:uuid:5625814f-dfda-49d0-9302-ebc7db2d235a> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11954-trade-this-real-world-assets-trading-on-the-blockchain | 2019-08-20T16:08:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027315551.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20190820154633-20190820180633-00047.warc.gz | en | 0.959477 | 3,255 |

Have you thought about how you might be sabotaging your weight loss efforts by pleasing others or just avoiding conflict. The Oxford Dictionary describes conflict as ‘A serious incompatibility between two or more opinions, principles, or interests’. Conflict is a normal and healthy part of life. The world would be a very boring place if we all thought the same. However it is when we feel helpless managing conflict, and the overwhelming emotions which can accompany it, that we sometimes reach for the biscuit tin rather than the right words to say.
Many of us fear conflict on any level and therefore put our own needs aside to keep others content. By doing so we are chipping away at our own happiness which can trigger irrational thoughts and overeating to compensate this internal battle we may be having with ourselves. When conflict is managed in a respectful, positive, and calm manner it can strengthen the overall relationship; regardless of the nature of that bond i.e. working relationship or with a loved one. Here are five things to ask ourselves when conflict arises to help with sabotaging our weight loss efforts and waistlines;
- By running away from matters which unsettle us, are we helping or hindering our lives? Remember conflict is unavoidable. We often bottle up our emotions rather than addressing the issue. This in turn can result in overeating which isn’t the solution.
- Do you use food to self-medicate? After a heated discussion we can have mixed emotions. Some unexpected things may have been said in the heat of the moment. It wouldn’t be unusual for guilt to play a part in the aftermath of conflict. It’s how we manage that guilt that counts. Instead of turning to sweets for solace and undoing weight loss efforts, ask yourself, ‘Is food going to help improve the relationship or cause you more anguish in the future?’
- Are your expectations of others realistic? This may lead to conflict as if you expect everyone to meet or exceed the expectations that you set for them, you may feel let down and frustrated. These negative feelings can lead you to seek comfort in food and/or not be mindful in your decisions. Remember you are not everyone and everyone is not you.
- What have you learned from previous conflicts? When we experience uncomfortable situations we may try to suppress the memory instead of reflecting on it to educate ourselves. Maybe the conversation took an undesirable route due to not listening enough to the other party’s opinion? Or maybe other issues were brought up which obstructed any progress being made. As long as we take something positive away and learn from each encounter then it has been worthwhile.
- How do you handle the stress of a disagreement? Once we are aware of our triggers we can work on more appropriate ways to manage them. For instance, stress can be a major player in awareness, acceptance, and action is a great approach to life but especially useful in the mind set of an individual who turns to food to de-stress. Try other self-care methods such as; going for a walk, writing a journal or talking to someone. These are less harmful to your weight loss efforts and overall wellbeing.
Life can throw curveballs at us at any moment. Conflict is inevitable but it’s how we cope with it that matters. Changing your thoughts is vital. Food is easily accessible and can seem irresistible in moments of uncertainty. However, when we make choices we are happy with, we regain the control in managing our eating habits in a happy and healthy manner.

One creature stands out from the others when the subject of devotion is mentioned. Man’s best friend is a model for humankind. Our furry beasts aren’t controlling and they don’t harbor hidden agendas; ever loyal, ever faithful, ever loving…
“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” Romans 12:10
This is not my dog, Lucky, but it looks remarkably like him!
Another quote from my upcoming book:
” Without warning a loud noise erupted in the kitchen. The door leading to the garage burst open and slammed against another door immediately behind it. A troubling scratching sound followed, made by claws searching for grip on a ceramic tile floor. A low growl grew in intensity. Thunderous blows, like the beating of drums filled the air as youthful feet stuck the floor with the force of an adult twice their size.” | <urn:uuid:c03e6ef1-085c-4385-bae7-493ee2db99f2> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://billroushey.com/tag/mans-best-friend/ | 2022-07-05T13:35:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104576719.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220705113756-20220705143756-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.932058 | 187 |

Bernal neighbor Ryan Avery lives near the southern end of Peralta. He just helped complete an unauthorized video about the fabulous Exploratorium, and he wrote to Bernalwood to tell us all about it:
One of your fellow Bernal Heights residents (myself) helped produce and direct a music video immortalizing the Exploratorium. It’s a parody of “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, shot guerrilla-style in San Francisco.
I’m a local music producer who goes by the alias of Chance’s End. A good friend of mine, Jade Stone from the Noe Valley district, called me up about a month ago and explained “I want to record some lyrics I wrote. Can you help me out?” After learning the lyrics were about the Exploratorium parodying Uptown Funk, I was in 100%.
We recorded her vocals one evening, and then set to work planning on the music video. We recruited a bunch of our friends to be backup dancers (all Bay Area residents), and Jade brought her parents up from Southern California to help with filming. Then we spent a weekend shooting the video. It was a bit tricky in places without the consent of the Exploratorium (ahem), but I think it turned out pretty nicely!
Why’d we make this? I think Jade would agree with me – “Just because we felt like it.”
Enjoy the video! It’s nerdtastic fun, and we’ve waived the admission fee: | <urn:uuid:8e2d3fca-f6d7-448e-92b7-b1c28073faea> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://bernalwood.com/2016/03/25/bernal-producer-co-creates-guerrilla-homage-to-the-exploratorium/ | 2018-04-24T06:39:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125946565.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20180424061343-20180424081343-00246.warc.gz | en | 0.957942 | 327 |
The field for the 2012 NCAA Tournament is so balanced that any of a number of teams could cut down the nets in New Orleans. The committee did a great job making each bracket difficult for the top seeds, and provided a plethora of entertaining match-ups. But it wouldn’t be wise to stray too far away from what we already know: The higher seeds are there for a reason.
So who will reign supreme when it’s all said and done?
(NOTES: We had a bit of fun with this. We decided that one No.1-seed would not be able to win it all, we also decided that a No.5-seed or higher could win it all. Does it make perfect sense? No. But neither does March Madness.)
(UPDATE: We’ve had to make an adjustment to our list due to the breaking news that Syracuse center Fab Melo won’t be elligible to participate in the NCAA Tournament.)
Ten teams who can win it all:
Kentucky (No. 1 South):
Simply put, they are the best team in the country. There are not more than two or three teams that can match up with Terrence Jones, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Anthony Davis. They have solid guards in Doron Lamb and Marquis Teague, and Darius Miller is a terrific shooter to bring off the bench. Their loss in the SEC Tournament Championship game served as a reality check, and the ‘Cats aren’t likely to let it happen again. Their portion of the bracket has a lot of interesting teams, but not very many that can beat Kentucky without playing a perfect game.
North Carolina (No. 1 Midwest):
The Tar Heels are the top rebounding team in the country and rank second in points per game. They force a bunch of turnovers and want to get out and run. Next to Kentucky, North Carolina has the most talented front line in the country in Tyler Zeller and John Henson with Harrison Barnes able to step out and knock down shots. The south bracket could shake out in a variety of different ways, which could help smooth out the Tar Heels path to New Orleans.
Kansas (No. 2 Midwest):
The Jayhawks will not face a team with as much tournament experience as them until the Elite-Eight. Thomas Robinson is the most dominant big man in the country, and Jeff Withy is one of the best shot blockers in the country. This team as a whole is one of the most efficient teams in the country on both offense and defense, and their starting line-up has the experience and talent to make up for their lack of depth.
Missouri (No. 2 West):
Size does not matter with this team. Their four guard set is difficult for teams with a lot of size but not a lot of speed. Phil Pressey is one of the best point guards in the country. Marcus Denmon is one of the best scoring threats in the country. Michael Dixon is one of the play-makers in the country. Ricardo Ratliffe has the highest field goal percentage in the country, and Kim English does absolutely everything. Missouri is in a difficult bracket, but they are experienced and mentally tough.
Ohio State (No. 2 East):
The trio of Jared Sullinger, William Buford and Arron Craft will be the key components to a National Championship run. Buford is a difficult assignment for any defender, and Craft’s relentless defense will be difficult for any opposing point guard. Sullinger will go up against a bevy of other quality big men in the East bracket, but his physicality and ability to step out and make shots will be a difference-maker.
Baylor (No. 3 South):
The amount of talent on this team is overwhelming. Their loss to Missouri in the Big-XII Tournament finals was not as bad as it seemed. The Bears showed toughness and resiliency, which had been questioned for much of the year. Pierre Jackson is as dynamic of a point guard as there is in the country, and Perry Jones III is starting to play like the lottery pick he is projected to be.
Georgetown (No.3 Midwest):
The Hoyas have been promoted thanks to the decline of their arch-rivals. Georgetown has had recent issues in the first round, but this year’s squad is wired differently. Their defense is as suffocating as it was in 20o7 when they advanced to the Final Four. The Hoyas lead the nation in defensive 3-point efficiency. Their length at the guard and forward positions make it nearly impossible for opponents to get good looks from behind the arc. With Henry Sims as a threat to score as well as distribute, this is a team that might not win style points, but could win a handful of tournament games.
Louisville (No. 4 West):
The Big East Tournament Champions struggled through injuries this season after cracking the top-5 in December. But they are fully healthy and playing at a very high level. Their ability to play both up-tempo and grind-it-out styles will benefit the Cardinals when they have to prepare on short notice. Peyton Siva’s leadership cannot be questioned and the depth of this team is starting to show again.
Vanderbilt (No. 5 East):
Despite recent early exits in the NCAA Tournament, the Commodores are clicking at the right time, and their victory over Kentucky in the SEC Tournament Championship showed that they are capable of beating elite teams. John Jenkins has the ability to be a game-changer, Jeff Taylor can hit almost any open shot and Festus Ezeli will be a difficult assignment down low. The East bracket could end up producing a handful of upsets, which would provide Vanderbilt with an easier path back to New Orleans, where they won the SEC Tournament.
Memphis (No. 8 West):
Having won seven in a row, the Tigers are one of the hottest teams in the country right now. They looked nearly unstoppable in the Conference-USA Tournament and Will Barton is putting together an All-American caliber season. People forget that this team is loaded with talent, and having flown under the radar for the past two months could provide the Tigers with the self-confidence needed to make a run at the title.
Five who can’t win it all:
Syracuse (No. 1 East):
With the recent news that Fab Melo won’t play in the NCAA Tournament, Syracuse has been pulled from our list up top. Why you ask? Because Fab Melo is a game-changer. Even if he’s not producing statistics, he forces teams to alter their offensive decisions. In Syracuse’s only regular season loss, a road blowout to Notre Dame, Melo did not play because of eligibillity issues. Sure the Orange have depth, even at the center position, but Fab Melo was one of a kind. This is deflating news that is sure to affect how the team fuctions.
Michigan State (No. 1 West):
The season-ending injury to Branden Dawson is more costly than you may think. He was the Spartan’s best swing player, and without him there is a big gap between the backcourt and forward Draymond Green. Plus, their bracket is just difficult. Any of the top six or seven seeds could advance from the West regional. Even if Tom Izzo is their coach, a National Championship in 2012 just seems a bit out of reach.
Duke (No. 2 South):
Duke lives by the three and dies by the three. As of late, it’s been more of the later than the former. Plus, their defense is just not that good. The talent is there but the execution is not.
Florida State (No. 3 East):
Despite defeating both Duke and North Carolina twice in the same season, including in the ACC Tournament, the Seminoles don’t have the makings of a National Championship team> Bernard James is a good frontcourt player, but he has very little help. The East bracket is filled with teams with dominant big men, and Florida State just doesn’t have the talent up front.
Marquette (No. 3 West):
The Golden Eagles have a propensity for digging holes they cannot get out of. They are notoriously slow starters, and in every one of their losses, they have either squandered a big lead or were unable to claw back from a huge deficit. Injuries to big men Chris Otule and DaVante Gardner took away a lot of Marquette’s depth, something that they could use during March.
Indiana (No. 4 South):
When the Hoosiers beat Kentucky earlier in the season, it was the perfect storm, everything was going right and everything was in place. But in order to win a National Championship, they would have to beat Kentucky in the Sweet-16, after beating a scary-good New Mexico State team and either Wichita State or VCU, two of the best mid-major teams in the country. The brackets just don’t line up in the Hoosiers favor. | <urn:uuid:e66a51fc-9350-4d43-a483-c9d008a42928> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2012/03/12/ten-teams-who-can-win-it-all-five-who-cant/ | 2015-11-28T09:30:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398451872.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205411-00301-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970896 | 1,901 |

Bally’s Atlantic City has partnered with the self-proclaimed founders of the World Series of Beer Bong to add 12 beer pong tables to the newly renovated Wild Wild West Casino. The tables will open Friday, June 11 on the Main Stage, equipped with a mechanical bull and free live music, reports the Press.
The World Beer Pong Tour’s Atlantic City Championship will commence on Sunday, June 13, at Resorts Atlantic City.
With prize money totaling $50,000 -- twice as much as last year -- the tournament is expected to bring in double the players.
The drinking game is a favorite of college kids everywhere and its popularity has exploded over the last decade. For those of you who have never attended a picnic, frat part, or generic social event, here’s how to play.
“Beer pong is getting huge,” Billy Gaines, co-founder of BPONG told the paper. “It’s going to be on TV soon.” | <urn:uuid:a5163bd5-59f1-4c38-b81a-8c42e7211eb9> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/the-scene/events/24-Hour-Beer-Pong-Tables-Open-in-Atlantic-City-Casinos-96152624.html | 2017-01-16T15:22:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560279189.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095119-00174-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945814 | 211 |

Viewers of the total solar eclipse in Southern Africa early on Wednesday have also had their eyes opened by second startling event - newly released evidence that a medieval African site was an astronomical observatory.
Starting just before 0600 GMT, the shadow of the Moon took 30 minutes to cross Africa from west to east, before heading over the Indian Ocean to make landfall in western Australia around 0900 GMT.
In Africa, between 0610 and 0620, the shadow crossed the southern tip of Zimbabwe, not far from the mysterious stone ruins of Great Zimbabwe, from which the country took its name.
Great Zimbabwe, built in about 1200 AD is a perplexing UN world heritage site. At its heart is the Great Enclosure - a wall comprised of over 5000 cubic metres of stone and marking a perimeter 240 metres in length. Archaeologists had assumed it was once a royal residence.
But on Wednesday, archaeologist-astronomer Richard Wade, of the Nkwe Ridge Observatory, South Africa, presented his new evidence. He claims Great Zimbabwe was similar in function to Stonehenge in England, though much younger.
"This is the culmination of nearly 30 years of research," Wade told
New Scientist. Central to his conclusion is the location of stone monoliths on the eastern arc of the Great Enclosure.
According to Wade, they line up with the rising of the Sun, Moon and bright stars at certain, astronomically significant times of the year. One of the more striking alignments that Wade has observed is the rise of three bright stars in Orion over three of the monoliths, on the morning of the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year.
One monolith could also be an eclipse predictor. Wade says it is notched in such a way that "the pattern and amount of notches can only be a record of the Venus' alignments with Earth, and we know that the location of Venus in the sky can be used to predict eclipses. It also has crescents and discs carved into it."
Perhaps most contentiously, Wade believes he knows why a conical tower that has previously baffled archaeologists was built. "The conical tower lines up precisely with the supernova known to have exploded in Vela, 700 to 800 years ago," he says.
His work so far has been vetted by astronomers from the South African Astronomical Observatory and will be submitted to scientific journals.
However, some experts warn that there are so many stones on the walls of the Great Enclosure that some chance alignments are inevitable. Researchers should be careful of reading too much into them, they say, adding that more work is needed before Great Zimbabwe's use as an observatory is proven.
David Dearborn, a physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory who has also studied Mayan astronomy in South America, notes that spectacular sites like Great Zimbabwe and Stonehenge pose a particular scientific challenge because they are one-offs.
Astronomical alignments of objects at such sites may be suggestive but chance cannot be ruled out. Dearborn adds that studies of numerous smaller sites can provide statistical support for such alignments, as can evidence from oral histories that people who used the site had astronomical knowledge.

As a producer in the Healthcare industry you should be informed correctly about which trade compliance obligations you need to take into account. On this page you can find a description of these compliance obligations with respect to Export documents, Customs, Environmental, VAT & Intrastat declarations.
For many healthcare products the import duty rates are low or zero, limiting the financial risks. Correct HS classification is crucial and the quality & speed of your import process is very important as well for this product category. The value of the goods may be high, or you are dealing with expiry dates of your products. What is important for you?
- Insight in your logistics process. What are the lead times for each part of your supply chain, where you run risks and where are the opportunities for process optimization.
- Broker performance. Do you check the quality of your broker(s), do they follow your broker instruction? Are you sure that they can provide the right documentation for "Proof of Delivery" for using the 0% VAT rate?
Pincvision can help you to secure/improve the quality of your broker(s). Additionally, Pincvision can also help by the classification of HS codes for your goods.
The packaging directive applies to primary, secondary and tertiary packaging. As an example of a product in the Healthcare industry, you can find below a description of the packaging that you should take in to account when you are an exporter of toothpaste.
- Primary packaging: The first product packaging containing the sold item. Thus, in this case the tube that contains the toothpaste and the cap.
- Secondary packaging: You often see that toothpaste tubes are packaged in a 3-pack or a 5-pack. The packaging that holds the tubes together is categorized as secondary packaging.
- Tertiary packaging: Transport packaging that is used to transport the toothpaste. Think of the cardboard box containing the tubes and the pallets on which they are transported.
Each country has its own guideline and threshold values for the declaration of packaging tax. For instance, in some countries you must indicate separately all parts of your packaging. For example, with a syringe: the cap, the plastic packaging, the box containing the syringe, and the syringe itself.
The battery directive applies to built-in batteries and to subsequently delivered batteries. If you exceed the applicable threshold in a country, you are required to periodically submit battery declarations. Think for example of a scale.
In order to make your environmental compliance process quickly and faultless, it is very important that your source data is in order. This data is used to extract the required information for the declaration in the country of destination. Our team of Compliance Analysts can assist you to enhance and enrich your data and then submit your periodic declarations with the authorities. This optimizes the speed and quality of your processes.
Depending on the country of destination it may be required to prove the origin of your goods in the form of a:
- Certificate of Origin (CO), possibly complemented by a legalized invoice. Both documents need to be digitally attested by the Chamber of Commerce. An additional requirement may be that the documents need legalization by an Embassy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- EUR.1 certificate/EURMED or an invoice declaration may be possible where the country of destination has a free trade agreement with the European Union. You will pay less or no import duties.
- Certificate of Conformity (CoC). When exporting to countries in the Middle-East and/or Africa please keep in mind the applicable conformity programs, such as PSI and PCA. For this you will need a CoC which is used to prove that your products are pre-registered and tested to (for example) country specific technical specifications and consumer safety standards.
In the Healthcare industry it is often important to indicate how many products of a certain composition will enter the market. This applies in particular to i.a. baby food and medicines. Our export documents specialists know all about this and are happy to help making your export documents process a controlled, worry-free and global process within your supply chain.
Should you deliver goods within the European Union (EU) you will often also face Intrastat obligations. With the advent of free trade within the EU, Intrastat is being introduced. A statistical requirement by which organization's declare to the local statistical bureaus how much they are 'exporting & importing' within the EU. Every country knows its own thresholds and deadlines.
Please ensure your Intrastat declarations are well managed as errors in this process may cause authorities to perform an audit. Not just covering Intrastat but often combined with your VAT processes.
From the flow of goods, agreements on transportation, import & export duties may arise VAT obligations in other countries. This usually leads to:
- VAT registration(s)
- Invoice requirements
- Declaration obligation (with or without a payment obligation).
- Other local declaration requirements, like SII reporting in Spain, SAF-T in Poland and the VAT book in the Czech Republic.
For healthcare products, you need to look carefully at the applicable VAT rate, you might use a reduced or low tariff in the country of destination. This differs per country. In addition, as a supplier you can also deal with customers who are exempt from the levy of sales tax. Exemptions and deductions (e.g. pro rata) can therefore be a subject. In that case other declaration requirements may arise.
When you use the 0% VAT rate, please make sure that your proof of delivery (POD) is in order. Fiscal authorities may ask for this during an audit. With the POD solution of Pincvision, you are assured of a guaranteed process.
Are you looking for a partner that arranges all compliance processes for you? Be assured that compliance won't be a barrier to your international trade. Let Pincvision handle your compliance obligations! | <urn:uuid:de006a21-34c2-4d52-b0d3-9c609741cdcd> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.pincvision.com/industries/healthcare | 2022-12-04T09:03:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710968.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20221204072040-20221204102040-00657.warc.gz | en | 0.932053 | 1,213 |
Description of Sampling Locations
Site 1: This point is located where Stony Brook enters the campus properties. It is on the upstream side of the culvert that passes under Morgan St. It is reached by climbing down the riprap on the eastern side of the culvert.
Site 2: Located where the Upper Lake Hiking Trail crosses Stony Brook. A foot bridge spans the brook at this point. Samples are taken from the downstream side of the bridge.
Site 3: This point is on the eastern side of Upper Lake dam. Samples are taken on the upstream side of the dam.
Site 4: Samples are taken from the upstream side of the "Cat House" dam. The samples are drawn from the western side of the stream.
Site 5: This point is immediately upstream from Lower Lake dam.
Site 6: Located just below the Lower Lake dam, close to Morgan Street.
Site 7: This point is on the small stream that flows from the Orchard's Golf course into Upper Lake. The point is near the outflow of the stream, but above the area where stream water might mix with lake water.
Site 8 (not shown): This point is also on the stream that flows from the Orchard's Golf Course. It is farther upstream than Point #7. The point is immediately upstream from the junction where the stream passes under Silver St. (sampled per certain period of time).
Sampling Intervals: Samples with the YSI probe are taken on a biweekly basis. We are currently sampling at all sites. As the weather becomes colder, and the lakes and streams freeze, many sampling points are no longer safely accessible.
The watershed based approach is the guiding principal of water quality management and regulation by state and federal agencies.Please refer to EPA Web site for basic information about drinking water contaminants.
Equipment: YSI 6600v2 & YSI Professional Plus (Nitrate & Ammonium) (YSI = Yellow Spring Inc. http://www.ysi.com/index.html)
Renge -5 to 45 Celsius, Accuracy +/- 0.15, Resolution 0.01
Is measured using a temperature probe. The Federal Water Pollution Control Administration refer to temperature as one of the most important and most influential water quality characteristics to life in water. Most fish simply can't stand warm water (and low levels of dissolved oxygen which depends on water temperature). Thermal pollution may result when industries, especially electrical power companies, release the water used for cooling their machines into waterways. Water temperatures, even miles from the release points, may rise dramatically.
Renge 0 to 200%, Accuracy +/- 1% air saturation, Resolution 0.1% air saturation
Dissolved Oxygen saturation (percent dissolved oxygen), measures the saturation level of oxygen at the present water temperature. The sensor (with self-cleaning wipers) is the newest optical type, based on the luminescence lifetime method. Oxygen gets into water by diffusion from the surrounding air by aeration and a by-product of photosynthesis from aquatic plants and algae. DO saturation is temperature dependent. The measure of DO is one of the most frequent and most important methods for the investigation of water quality. If dissolved oxygen concentration in water drop below 30%, aquatic life is put under stress, if the oxygen levels that remain below 10-20% for a few hours can result in fish kills.
Renge 0 to 20 mg/L, Accuracy +/- 0.1mg/L, Resolution 0.01 to 1 mg/L
Dissolved Oxygen concentration is calculated from % air saturation, temperature and salinity. The sensor (with self-cleaning wipers) is the newest optical type, based on the luminescence lifetime method. If dissolved oxygen concentration in water drop below 2-3.0 mg/L, aquatic life is put under stress, if the oxygen levels that remain below 1-2 mg/L for a few hours can result in fish kills.
Renge 0-200 mg/L, Accuracy +/- 10%, Resolution 0.001 to 1 mg/L (Range dependent)
Nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) is measured using an ion-selective probe. Water naturally contains less than 1 milligram of nitrate-nitrogen per liter. Higher levels indicate that the water has been contaminated. Common sources of nitrate contamination include fertilizers, animal wastes, septic tanks, municipal sewage treatment systems, and decaying plant debris. State and federal laws set the maximum allowable level of nitrate-nitrogen in public drinking water at 10 milligrams per liter (10 ppm, parts per million).
Renge 0-200 mg/L, Accuracy +/- 10% of reading, Resolution 0.001 to 1 mg/L (Range dependent)
Ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) is measured with an ion-selective probe. Please note that the term "ammonia" covers both the nonionized form (NH3) and the ammonium cation (NH4+). Air in urban areas contains up to 20 µg of ammonia per m3. Air in areas where farm animals are intensively reared may contain levels as high as 300 µg/m3. Natural levels of ammonium ion in groundwater are usually below 0.2 mg/L Higher natural contents (up to 3 mg/L) are found in strata rich in humic substances or iron or in forests. Surface waters may contain up to 12 mg/L. The presence of ammonium ion at higher concentrations is an indicator of faecal pollution.
Renge 0 to 100 mS/cm-1 Accuracy +/- 5% of reading, Resolution 0.001 to 0.1 mS/cm-1 (Range dependent)
Conductivity is measured using a 4 electrode cell with autoranging. Electrical conductivity is a measure of water’s ability to conduct electricity, and therefore a measure of the water’s ionic activity and content. The use of specific conductance [SC; units of milliSiemens per centimeter (mS·cm-1)], the conductivity normalized to temperature of 25 ºC, allows valuable comparisons to be made, as conductivity of the same water changes substantially as its temperature changes. SC is generally found to be a good measure of the concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS) and salinity. Elements whose ionic forms contribute the most to these measures include: calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), bicarbonate (HCO3-), sulfate (SO42-), and chloride (Cl-). Values of SC can differ greatly from lake to lake because the composition of inflowing tributaries reflects the geology of their watersheds.
Renge 0 to 14 units, Accuracy +/- 0.2 units, Resolution 0.01 units
Acidity is measured using a glass combination electrode. The pH value determines whether water is hard or soft. The pH of pure water is 7. In general, water with a pH lower than 7 is considered acidic, and with a pH greater than 7, basic. The normal range for pH in surface water systems is 6.5 to 8.5.
Renge 0 to 400 µg/L, Accuracy Not Provided, Resolution 0.1 µg/L
An in situ optical fluorometer with mechanical cleaning is used to detect chlorophyll a levels, a green pigment found in algae and blue-green-algae (cyanobacteria). Optical fluorescence method is one of the most powerful and widely used not destructive technique to measure the algae concentration in water. Chlorophyll a concentrations are an indicator of phytoplankton abundance and biomass in lakes, ponds, coastal and estuarine waters. Algal biomass, measured as chlorophyll-a (chl-a), is a commonly proposed criterion of water quality, that relates to nutrient levels (N and P). Usually chl-a values are 35 µg L–1, but could be as high as ~100 µg L–1. High values of chl-a may indicate that "bloom" of algae and/or blue-green-algae may occur. In the drinking water the long term average chl-a concentration at the depth of 0.5 m below the surface shall not exceed 10 µg L–1.
BGA – Blue-Green Algae
Renge ~0 to 280,000 cells/mL† 0 to 100 RFU, Accuracy ~220 cells/mL, Resolution 1 cell/mL, 0.1 RFU
BGA – Blue-Green Algae (true bacteria) Phycocyanin sensor with self-cleaning wipers. Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) monitoring is of growing interest due to the problems some species can present through the production of toxins and compounds that deteriorate the quality of drinking water and through the formation of blooms. The simple technique of in-vivo fluorometry (IVF) for locating and measuring algae in real-time has been used. It is based on the direct measurement of the fluorescence of the chlorophyll a in the living algal cells.
Renge 0 - 1000 NTU, Accuracy Accuracy +/- 5% reading or 2 NTU, Resolution Resolution 0.1 NTU Optical sensor type with mechanical cleaning. Turbidity is a unit of measurement quantifying the degree to which light traveling through a water column is scattered by the suspended organic (including algae) and inorganic particles. The scattering of light increases with a greater suspended load. Turbidity is commonly measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). Governments have set standards on the allowable turbidity in drinking water. In the United States, the allowable standard is 0.3 NTU, with many drinking water supply utilities striving to achieve levels as low as 0.1 NTU. | <urn:uuid:0ca6efb9-fa2b-4d06-b187-b355abfee9a7> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | https://www.mtholyoke.edu/mwce/water_monitoring | 2016-06-29T23:34:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783397864.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154957-00051-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.908927 | 2,060 |
A rather curious report has emerged from the Deutsche Bank technology conference in Las Vegas.
Texas Instruments CEO Richard Templeton told the gathering that he has “lost some interest” in seeing the company’s chips used in smartphones and tablets. Although it is rather unusual to see a tech CEO say is lost interest in design wins, Templeton makes an interesting point.
Templeton argues that the size and quality of opportunities in those wireless products have declined. The two main players in the market, Apple and Samsung, vertically integrating chips into their gear, so there doesn’t appear to be as much room for chipmakers like Texas Instruments. We are not sure Qualcomm and Nvidia would agree with his assessment, but still it is a valid point.
Although Templeton might not be as interested in design wins as one might expect, Texas Instruments announced a few high-profile design wins in recent weeks, the most significant of which was Amazon’s Kindle Fire range. However, until OMAP 5 chips arrive, TI simply won’t have competitive high-end chips to take on Qualcomm’s S4 line or Samsung’s Exynos 4. Skeptics might say that this explains Templeton’s sudden lack of interest in the hotly contested smartphone/tablet market.
Templeton told the crowd that Texas Instruments plans to expand into automotive and industrial markets. | <urn:uuid:199d2ef9-93cb-4d45-90ef-5066394a9441> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/28736-ti-ceo-downplays-significance-of-smartphone-and-tablet-markets | 2014-08-30T00:48:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500833525.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021353-00254-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963526 | 285 |
Pastor Adeboye’s prayer which was shared on Twitter has started off a controversy on the social media platform.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) General Overseer’s prayer centered on the suspension of protocols, rules, and criteria just like God did for Joseph.
The prayer read;
“Father, let all protocols, rules and criteria be suspended, overlooked and overruled, as You did for Joseph, in order for me to be promoted, in Jesus’ name”
However, some Nigerians felt the prayer encouraged nepotism, corruption, and mediocrity. | <urn:uuid:a6dd8063-0d44-4150-875b-bb2c43863c2e> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://parrotgist.com/nigerians-tackle-pastor-adeboye-over-his-prayer/ | 2021-01-28T13:13:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610704843561.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20210128102756-20210128132756-00777.warc.gz | en | 0.946407 | 132 |

First let’s take a look at what it is. Primarily smoke is made up of Particulate Matter (PM). That’s microscopic particles of 2.5 micrometers or less. To get some perspective, a human hair is 70 micrometers across. Add to that, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, irritant volatile organic compounds (VOC’s for short) gases and water vapor.
So what does it do to the body? When smoke enters the lungs, the body’s natural defense is to release chemicals called cytokines. These chemicals cause inflammation all over the body, leading to multiple side effects. Exposure to smoke causes coughing, eye irritation, headaches, irritation of the nasal passage, sinuses, throat and bronchial airways. And that’s just in healthy people. Anyone with ongoing respiratory problems such as COPD or asthma will notice their symptoms are far worse. And it doesn’t stop there. Smoke exposure increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary embolism and narrowing of the arteries.
There is no doubt that the health risks associated with smoke exposure are serious. But the situation may be even more alarming than we realize. Most of what we know about smoke exposure is based on fires that occurred in isolated areas. But in recent years, the very nature of forest fires has changed. More destructive and deadly than before, fires now burn right next to urban areas. Often houses and all their contents are destroyed. Not only does this increase smoke exposure as people are in close proximity to the fires. But as houses burn, so do chemicals, furnishings, fuel, metals and paint. Resulting in smoke that is far more toxic than before. Perhaps exposure to smoke from these new super fires is more of a threat than we know.
Have you been affected by smoke from the recent forest fires? Are you concerned about chemicals, gases and VOC’s hanging around in your home? We recommend the Austin Air HealthMate Plus™. With its broad spectrum adsorption, it effectively removes many of the air borne contaminants associated with smoke from forest fires.

No Mi Che
No Mi Che started rolling, swinging and spending more time upside down than upright when she joined ‘Flipside Circus’ at the age of 14.
Completing a ‘Bachelor of Circus Arts’ in 2006 at the National Institute of Circus Arts in Melbourne, No Mi specialized in Cloud Swing and Hula Hoops with paint. Her passion for installation and performance art sent her speckling her colours from Australia to London, Wales, Edinburgh, France and India.
During her year in India, No Mi’s art took a compassionate twist as she saw the significance of art as therapy. She went on to work with ‘Cultural Canvas Thailand’ facilitating workshops to a wide variety of clients and organizing exhibits for the work created in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, the South Pacific Islands and Bali. In 2011, she completed a ‘Post Graduate Diploma in Experimental and Creative Arts Practice’ at the Melbourne Institute of Experimental and Creative Arts Therapy, punctuating her studies with a cabbage crown!
Diving deeper into the healing arts, No Mi & Dawa moved to China in 2015 where they studied Qigong, Dao Yin & Nutritional Healing with ‘Wandering Dao Medical Qigong School’ for 2 years.
They have since been fusing forms, creating spontaneous performance art, running self healing workshops and collaborating with NGOS around the world. They are currently completing further studies in Daoist Medicine in Wudang Shan. | <urn:uuid:447613f4-3f20-4f15-afcd-aa9a8cca329c> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.wobblyspoon.com/no-mi-che.html | 2020-01-22T03:07:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250606269.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20200122012204-20200122041204-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.942039 | 309 |
Quickly the government became a brotherhood of cupolas that made authoritarian decisions, with being able of exclusion towards the other sectors that smoothed the way to him towards the power. The repressed masses, the excluded and prohibited Communist Party, the diverse social sectors? again? organizing itself in guerrilla centers to be able to exert reclamations. Excessively, the sectors of the economic oligarchy enquistan in the structure of the State, strengthening their triumph of class on the rest of the components of the Venezuelan society, losing an extraordinary opportunity to found a model politician of understanding and social cover. The great swindle Is born therefore the model from representative democracy for Venezuela, as we know founded on the Constitution of 1.961.
In future the popular masses would exist only within the framework of the electoral eventuality, when they attended to vote by somebody to elevate it to a rank or a political position that, like the same government of Betancourt, forgot the initial circumstances political and social the fact that it gave life them. It was betrayed what it had incarnated in which ” was called; the spirit of the 23 of enero”: a megamovimiento of the Venezuelan society towards La Paz and the agreement to occur chance to found a new, general and incluyente mother country, that picked up the feeling of those previous and later days to the MPJ overthrow, of unit, solidarity, of will to transform the institutions and really to democratise them. In its defect, which prevailed were the cupolas, the autocratic partisanship, the Dantesque concretion of the terrorfico Pact of Fixed point, whose gene of it outlined it to birth like the phenomenon of the exclusion and cupolas that we knew. Bolivariana revolution: Hugo Chavez or the principle of participation 1,998, with the starting of the Bolivariana Revolution, would mark to the beginning of its decomposition, rescuing for the great masses (he does not stop great the bourgeoisie) the participating character that all democratic political model must observe in its foundations and that, for the case which we spoke, had to be gotten up to the political life of the Venezuelan society in 1.958 when the dictatorship fell and the presidential periods began.

A 52-year-old detective with the Bakersfield Police Department has died from complications from an illness caused by a fungus that lives in the soil and dirt in California's Central Valley.
According to KGET-TV, Detective Kevin Hock died Sunday from an affliction known as Valley Fever, which can cause chest pain, cough, fatigue, fever, headaches, muscle aches, night sweats, joint aches, and weight loss.
The disease is contracted by breathing in spores from fungus—known as Coccidioides Immitis or Coccidioides Posadasii—that grows in certain types of soil common to the area. The spores can be put into the air by farming, construction, and high wind.
Death from the disease is not common, but also not unheard-of.
Detective Hock had been with the department since 1993. | <urn:uuid:8b8949ca-db6f-4e83-a202-6d5853996815> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.policemag.com/522950/central-california-officer-dies-from-fungal-disease | 2021-10-16T11:03:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584567.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016105157-20211016135157-00429.warc.gz | en | 0.974198 | 180 |

#2126 no reasonable person…
Wednesday 11th February, 2015
No reasonable person would want to publish the intimate and physical details of their life for the entire world to read? Would they?
Lots of love from Marcel in Paraguay. xoxox
Marcel, I can’t tell (unless I impose the question mark) whether yours is a statement of fact (and a common one too, these being our digital times), or something more sophisticated? nay, even sinister…
Given the double question mark, I have a slight discomfort from your query. Are you anxious about forthcoming Cupid, or the power of
Your words/anecdote remind me of an incident (of several recurring nights) involving a US Senator, a blogger and features in the NYTimes and Washington Post’s respectively. In this scenario (read these next words in hushed tones), in this scenario one woman made it BIG by posing for PlayBoy and landing a book deal with a $300,000 advance; all from the posting of her intimate physical, verbal, emotional and psychological details that also included His life.
And this just one-year after the launch of Facebook.
According to one source the above also inspired 50-shaded-shadows-of-unsexy – a ‘win’ this weekend for anyone whose self-exploration must be to remain flaccid in a public place.
Marcel, you have a right to speak about your life, just as you do to switch off from friends in your Newsfeed. And you have the right to write and publish about it too. There are serious problems when the appeal of lust and sexy is propelled forward by a very cumbersome set of yawn-inducing registers, but then what turns you on, isn’t likely to be the same as I. Thank goodness.
From your question, I am going to problematise the following for you:
i. ‘reasonable person’;
iii. ‘entire world’.
My proposition being that, by taking the moral high ground, you appear unreasonable; intimate for whom? (my turn to ask you a further question); and the entire world are not interested. One jot.

Latest update: December 4th, 2012
But how can we afford to nationalize the health industry, I ask him – never mind the question of better or worse care that may result. If it’s America’s debt load that really has him worried, how can we do what the Obama administration wants without putting ourselves further into hock to China?
I should have stayed in China, he answers despondently, that’s where the growth is now, that’s where the future is.
But don’t they have rich people there, too? Isn’t China now basically a capitalist country?
There aren’t so many rich people there, he says, not yet.
You mean we have more here? He nods in agreement. Then aren’t you really complaining that there are too many well-off people here, that they’re too visible while in China there aren’t enough to notice yet? Isn’t the real problem troubling you that America’s been too successful? You see the well-off all around, wherever you look. But in China, because the country isn’t yet where America is, you wouldn’t feel deprived because there are so many others with more than you have! But doesn’t that also mean your opportunities here are really greater because wealth is so much more widely spread, so much more available?
Consider this, I tell him. Sure, you’re a salaried worker but look at what you’re making. Look at your investment portfolio. Maybe you’re not in the hundred million a year category and maybe you’ll never be but does that really matter? You’re not starving or in want. And it’s all because of what you’ve been able to do for yourself since coming here. If you take money away from the giant earners do you become like them or do you just hope to make them more like you?
Why shouldn’t they be more like me, he asks.
Because when you left China, I remind him, wasn’t it because you wanted to be more like them?Stuart W. Mirsky

I’m a reasonably funny, tattooed and attractive (and now married) crazy cat lady with two jobs, two cats and a LOT of hobbies. I love everything from Gwar to Lady Gaga and I will sing (or rap) them in my car, windows down, at the top of my lungs (and if I’m feeling particularly sassy, I will stare at other drivers while doing so to amuse myself with their uncomfortableness). Yes, I have a lot of tattoos, but no, I do not ride a motorcycle, in fact, I drive a Volvo. I’ve only ever owned Volvos (on my 3rd). I adore football and like baseball (Buccaneers and Rays, respectively) and am fanatic about my fantasy football, but my team was so bad last year, I don’t want to talk about it. I am a born and raised Florida girl, one of the few natives. I live for sunshine and hot, hot weather, and have in fact spent most of my driving years without A/C in the car (gift from Dad last year, it IS nice to have). I do a lot of crafts, all while fending off curious cats. I’m opinionated, I fall on the Bill Maher side of liberalism. My religion is science and logic. I abhor inefficiency. I don’t put up with a-holes, Red Sox fans or illogical things. This is probably why, most of the time, I like cats more than humans.

Patrice Desilets fired by Ubisoft less than three months after THQ Montreal acquisition
There’s generally a lot of fluidity to the life of a game developer, but making a name for yourself can lead to keeping your feet on the ground for long periods of time, or so you’d think. For former Assassin’s Creed director Patrice Desilets, his last few years have treated him to leaving Ubisoft and joining THQ Montreal only to have the publisher go bankrupt, resulting in his studio’s acquisition by Ubisoft once again. Now, as Kotaku reported earlier today, it seems he’s been taken out of the equation. Fired and escorted out of the building by guards, the story echoes that of the West/Zampella incident with Infinity Ward several years ago.
It seems odd to say anything condemning about this event. He’ll doubtlessly fight the termination and I’m hoping he’ll be able to succeed. Even with the average turnover rate of game developers, seeing a higher-profile name like Desilets get dropped from a team he’d been leading for two years is really terrifying. Having spent over a year on an idea of my own allows me to sympathize moreso than your average developer termination. If someone tried to pry that idea away from me, I’d be digging tooth and nail in to keep it.
Spicy Horse working on a new Wizard of Oz game, not tied to 2004’s Oz
Spicy Horse isn’t known for a whole lot beyond Alice: Madness Returns and the unrecognized Grimm series. Their proclivity for making off-beat, “dark-and-edgy” versions of children’s tales and fables is stepping into familiar ground, with Joystiq reporting that the Shanghai-based developer is working on a Wizard of Oz game that’s not tied to American McGee’s canned 2004 game American McGee’s Oz. What that’ll mean is still largely up in the air: they state that they’ve yet to settle on a genre, but that it will come out on PC/Mac/Linux and tablet-like devices. It’s also worth mentioning that this new game is planning to incorporate elements from “the entire Oz series,” which could mean some interesting stuff from left field. Perhaps it’ll just mean more of a focus on the Lollipop Guild.
Having played and enjoyed Madness Returns, I’ll be cautiously optimistic about another new venture from the Spicy Horse folks. That Akaneiro: Demon Hunters Kickstarter they launched a while back didn’t catch my eye with its twisted take on Little Red Riding Hood, and it’s likely that their take on Oz might follow that same route. Here’s hoping that the angst of hunting demons doesn’t bleed over into the adventures of the yellow brick road.
Extra 30 minutes of content planned for Beyond: Two Souls pre-orders
Even as a person familiar with the oddities that crop up when pre-orders push extra content, I can’t seem to wrap my head around this one. Eurogamer is reporting that special edition pre-orders of Quantic Dream’s upcoming Beyond: Two Souls will include an extra “30 minutes of playable story,” along with behind the scenes gumbo and a steelbook package. What we don’t know rests on the context of the scene or its relative importance given that you’ll have to pre-order Beyond to even see this content.
Having a pre-order incentive that adds an extra “Battle Arena” or “Phat Weapon Upgradezzz™” has become the norm, but for a game so heavily skewed towards a linear narrative approach that one could almost call it “movie-esque” – if that wasn’t a horrible adjective – it seems odd to include any sort of tacked-on story stuff for pre-order customers. At most, it’ll be an extra batch of unimportant side stories; at worst, we could have a repeat of Mass Effect 3’s Leviathan on our hands, with crucial story components being hidden away being a paywall. I’m really hoping it’s the former. | <urn:uuid:286cdbac-2ffa-4ed8-9a99-87efb39ca952> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.sidequesting.com/2013/05/the-evening-report-may-7th-2013-desilets-defense-and-pre-orders-go-beyond-two-souls/ | 2016-10-01T15:30:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738663010.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173743-00185-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941356 | 899 |

5.Do I need to clear dungeons again and again for gears?
No, you don’t. All gears of all classes in CoA are growable. You don’t need to clear dungeons or kill monsters for different gears. Just need to cost gold and spirit to promote them, enhance them and enchant them. They will become higher level and more powerful.
6.How many ways to upgrade the gears?

Don’t worry. Have you noticed the Gold Bank? It is always the best choice for you. When you find gold is insufficient, open your Gold Bank, you have chances to slay goblins in their goldfield, or destroy Demon Statue, or obtain gold by Midas Touch. Besides, by killing the World Boss, collecting Goddess Blessing, enjoying all kinds of hot events, you will get rewards rather than gold. | <urn:uuid:fffa5d77-8d27-4549-a452-b414ca81bb2d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://coa.amzgame.com/news/guidesDetail/faq.html | 2022-08-08T22:29:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808213349-20220809003349-00660.warc.gz | en | 0.919784 | 726 |
Trading commenced for the week with gold rates in India gaining ahead of the Sino-American trade negotiations. With markets showing minimal hopes of a breakthrough in the trade talks, demand for safe-haven assets picked up and gold was recorded trading at Rs.38,600 per 10 grams on 7 October 2019.
However, with the US dollar gaining against other apex currencies in the global market, demand for the precious metal remained capped. This led to gold in India being priced at Rs.38,600 per 10 grams on 8 October 2019.
Prices remained unchanged at Rs.38,600 per 10 grams until 10 October 2019 before a sense of optimism concerning the US-Sino trade conflict among investors impacted safe-haven demand for the bullion.
Also, the demand for riskier assets picked up globally with reports of a Brexit deal in progress. This proved to work against the bullion market, and the gold rate in India was recorded holding at Rs.38,300 per 10 grams – Rs.300 lower that the previous session – on 11 October 2019.
Subdued investor demand, compounded by the weak global cues led to gold prices remaining untouched at Rs.38,300 per 10 grams on 12 October 2019.
The week concluded with gold rates closing slightly higher at Rs.38,310 per 10 grams on 13 October 2019 with demand capped by an increased appetite for riskier assets amid the strengthening dollar and well-performing equities.

Tel Aviv continues to transform itself into a popular Mediterranean beach destination that draws in increasingly diverse crowds. From a price standpoint it’s very similar to most of southern Europe, so it’s not quite the bargain beach city that some people hope for.
Hotels in Tel Aviv range from modest budget places and hostels in the city center to luxurious beach resorts. During the busy summer months, or during any major Jewish holiday, prices can seem quite high. During the winter months you can find bargains, but the weather isn’t well suited to sunbathing and such.
Attractions are often free or quite cheap, so cultural tourists or those just coming for the beach won’t have to spend a fortune once you arrive. Food and drink prices range from very modest for street food to very high for tourist restaurants in the top hotels. | <urn:uuid:aabc2e0e-403d-4bb8-915a-bb4dbdb9a84a> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://www.priceoftravel.com/61/israel/tel-aviv-prices | 2018-08-18T10:14:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221213540.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180818095337-20180818115337-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.949463 | 175 |

People young and old got out their bike shorts, tied up their laces and raced around Winton yesterday morning.
The annual Winton Fun Run attracted hundreds of people, some dressed up like cows, others kitted out in running apparel, but all had smiles on their faces.
The event was held to raise money for charities throughout the town. Co-organiser Alana Walker said 10 organisations would benefit this year from funds raised by the fun run.
She was pleased with the turnout and said the community had been extremely supportive of the event.

Apple Fights for Snow Leopard Trademark in China
A Chinese company has accused Apple of infringing its trademark of the name Snow Leopard. This new suit comes just after Apple settled its iPad trademark dispute with Proview in China, by forking out $60 million to the company.
M.I.C Gadget reports that chemical company Jiangsu Xeubao registered the term "Xuebao," the Chinese translation of Snow Leopard, in 2000. Apple then released version 10.6 of its OS X operating system in 2009, which was named Snow Leopard.
The hearing is set to take place in a court in Shanghai on 10 July, and Jiangsu Xuebao has said that it is seeking 500,000 RMB (around £50,200) from Apple, as well as an official apology to settle the dispute.
However, a Chinese lawyer has said that is unlikely that Jiangsu Xuebao will win the lawsuit because Apple didn't use the term Xuebao on its Chinese Store. | <urn:uuid:1e0972dc-c4bb-4c33-99ed-4cbaa9e97ced> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.pcworld.com/article/258858/apple_fights_for_snow_leopard_trademark_in_china.html | 2016-09-25T05:42:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738659865.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173739-00214-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975061 | 205 |
There’s a fantastic book I’ve been reading by Dr John Gottman called The Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work (even as a divorced mum, is never too late to read:-)
I came across him and his work whilst reading a book by Malcolm Gladwell called Blink – which is about the feelings and thoughts you get in the first two seconds of meeting someone or seeing something for the first time. Fabulous book which is, as always, brilliantly recounted in that Malcolm Gladwell style.
But back to Dr Gottman and his book.
What is remarkable about Dr Gottman’s work is that through his research he is now able to watch a couple’s interaction for just fifteen minutes and he is able to predict with 90% accuracy if their marriage will remain intact or not by observing not only the language, tone and manner of speaking to one another but also physical behaviour and reactions such as facial expression, body language, heartbeat and galvanic skin responses.
There are 6 signs that help predict a relationship demise but I will cover just one of them and very briefly just to give you an idea of what he says. This particular Predictor is called “The Four Horsemen” – very apocalyptic.
Enter the first horseman Criticism: Now there’s a difference between a complaint and criticism. A complaint refers to something specific about the person you live with e.g. “I’m not happy that you forgot to take the rubbish out last night.” We all have complaints and our partners have them about us too. Criticism on the other hand is a blanket that we throw over the person’s personality or character. “You forgot to take the rubbish out again last night. You keep doing it and it’s very selfish of you. You only think about yourself, very selfish.”
And when this happens, more often than not the partner receiving the criticism is pushed into what is the second horseman – defensiveness where the he/she replies by defending their actions and portraying themselves as a victim and by doing this, points the finger back at his/her partner. “Well, I come home late most evenings too tired to even think. Your at home so you know best what needs to be done and when. This is another way of stating – “The problem isn’t me, it’s you.”
The third horseman, and the most destructive is Contempt this is “any statement you make to your partner from a superior place. So most of the time you speak down at them.” I know of a couple where the husband would regularly correct his wife’s grammar in the middle of an argument. Contempt is is poisonous to any relationship and will always lead to more conflict.
Contempt maybe demonstrated verbally or physicalyl or both and may include sarcasm, cynicism, name-calling, eye-rolling, sneering, mockery and hostile humour.
Now what is interesting here too is that it has been found that the recipient of regular contempt is more likely to get a number of infectious diseases as his/her immune functioning weakens.
“Contempt is fuelled by long-simmering negative thoughts about the partner. You’re more likely to have such thoughts if your differences are not resolved.” Pg 31
The final horseman, Stonewalling, is where one partner withdraws from the conflict, where he or she just tunes out and is predominantly a male thing. Although stonewallers may appear calm by the time they tune out, Dr Gottman found that they were far from this clearly indicated by their elevated heart rates. When interviewed later, the stonewallers reported that they were stonewalling as a means of calming themselves down and avoiding conflict but by doing so, they are also avoiding their marriage as things are more likely to be left unresolved and are left to fester and grow, finally erupting at a later time.
Whilst Criticism, Defensiveness and Contempt maybe present earlier on in a relationship, Stonewalling tends to come later on and is rarely found among newlyweds. The first three horsemen tend to be the path that lead to Stonewalling as all the negativity built over the years pave the way to Stonewalling as means of coping.
As I mentioned, there are other predictors of divorce and you only have to read Dr Gottman’s book to see and understand where you may be or may have contaminated your marriage or relationship.
I hate to say it but it really does take two.

These all build into a very big, bad cloud of crap.
In fact, the crap has hit the fan and I find it incalculable to see how banks will regain their reputational hit.
It is indefensible.
But here are the defences.
The Barclays LIBOR fine: everyone was doing this.
The PPI scandal: everyone was doing this.
The SWAPS scandal: everyone was doing this.
Bank bonuses: everyone was doing this.
Free banking: everyone was doing this.
Credit default swaps that created the credit crisis: everyone was doing this.
So we have an industry that is fundamentally at a crossroads.
I joined this industry three decades ago and the mantra then was everyone was doing this.
In fact, I was told a story very early on by a senior banker that banks are like the herd of swine in the Bible (Luke, 8:30-33):
“Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.
A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission.
When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.”
They all run together and, when they screw up, they all die together.
So it seems.
But the too big to fail and the too small to survive moment has happened.
The excuse that everyone is doing this no longer works.
It has to end.
As a kid, we all remember saying to mum and dad: can I have one of these?
And they would say: no, it’s too expensive.
We would respond: but so-and-so’s got one, why can’t I?
And they would say: because you’re not so-and-so.
That’s what we need here in banking.
UK Bank: can I misbehave?
UK Government: no.
UK Bank: but all the other banks are doing it, why can’t I?
UK Government: because you’re not all the other banks.
The issue we have today is that UK banks have acted as a collegiate and UK government has been at their behest.
Rather than being parent, the government has been child.
This is what has to change and it requires a wholesale reconstruction of the industry.
So endeth the Friday sermon … see you Monday. | <urn:uuid:48e99035-63bd-4204-9ff6-aa3b009c7cfe> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://thefinanser.com/2012/06/a-wholesale-reconstruction-of-the-industry.html/ | 2016-09-28T20:27:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661767.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00253-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982912 | 570 |

After scores of ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu region for over a week, the guns fell silent as an uneasy calm prevailed along the border today.
There has been no ceasefire violation since last night along the LoC in Jammu, Poonch and Rajouri districts, Defence PRO Manish Mehta said.
Yesterday, Pakistan troops had resorted to heavy firing and mortar shelling, targeting several Indian posts and civilian areas in three sectors in Poonch and Rajouri districts. Indian forces responded strongly to the firing.
“Guns have fallen silent after our strong retaliation and befitting reply. There was no shelling and firing since 8.30 PM last night till now,” a senior Army officer said.
In the retaliatory action by Indian troops, 9 Pakistani soldiers were injured last night, sources said.
As per reports, three Indian troops suffered minor injuries in shelling at Sonagali area in Poonch district last evening. However, the Defence PRO said he had no information about it.
There have been 16 ceasefire violations in October this year.
On October 4, Pak troops violated ceasefire four times and restored to heavy firing and mortar shelling at Saujian, Shahpur-Kerni, Mandi and KG sectors in Poonch district. Five civilian were injured and several shops burnt down after a shell triggered fire in oil containers in a security camp. | <urn:uuid:587ae424-5e54-4d27-a655-c0b2e1d591d7> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/guns-fall-silent-along-loc-uneasy-calm-prevails/409236/ | 2017-04-25T18:21:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917120844.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031200-00011-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973107 | 291 |
Chris Roberts will remain manager of Llangefni Town Football Club next season.
The Welsh Alliance Division One runners-up revealed Roberts has turned down the opportunity to join a Huws Gray Alliance club so he can “finish what he started."
Roberts had a “very productive meeting” with the committee last week and confirmed he will be staying to lead Cefni’s challenge for the title next season.
‘’Nothing has changed; the ambition of the club and this squad is to win and that is an ambition that drives us all,” he said.
‘’My aim when I became the manager of Llangefni was to take the club back up the Welsh football pyramid, and I am staying to finish what I’ve started.’’
He continued: "We have narrowly missed out on promotion three seasons in a row, finishing third, joint second and runners-up again this season. I am already putting plans in place for next season and I am confident that with a couple of new additions we will go one step further.’’
Club chairman Alwyn Jones said: "This is great news for the club. Chris has done an excellent job with limited resources, we see him being a vital part of what we are trying to achieve and we are glad that he has decided to stay.
"We are working hard off the pitch, continuously trying to improve and hopefully in doing so involving the community and getting the town behind us.
"We do have a ‘long term vision’ and are encouraging anyone who wants to be part of that vision to join us on this journey. We encourage anyone who has time on their hands (it doesn’t have to be Saturdays) to get involved."
Conwy Borough wrapped up the Welsh Alliance Division One title with a 5-1 win over Llanberis last Wednesday. The Tangerines needed just a point from their final two matches to clinch the crown.
Conwy lost their last game of the season 2-1 at home to Llanrwst United last Saturday, but still finish three points above Cefni in the table.
Llangefni's final match of the campaign resulted in a 3-1 home loss to Barmouth and Dyffryn last Tuesday, Matthew Jones with a consolation goal for the Anglesey side.
Chris Roberts' track record as Llangefni Town manager to date
Runners-up in Welsh Alliance Division Two.
Cefni only missed out on winning the title on goal difference. After a poor start to the season, Town took the title race down to the last game at first-place St Asaph.
Needing to win 5-0 to land the championship on GD, the Anglesey side went 3-0 up, but in the end had to settle for a 3-1 victory.
League: Played 32 Won 23 Drawn 3 Lost 4 Goals For 106 Goals Against 34.
Achieved an excellent third-place finish in first season back in Division One. Reached Mawddach Cup semi-final.
League: Played 30 Won 19 Drawn 5 Lost 6 Goals For 65 Goals Against 44.
Third again in Division One, only missing out on promotion due to goals scored. With champions Glantraeth deciding not to go up to the Huws Gray Alliance, runners-up Llandudno Junction took their place. Junction and Cefni both had a GD of +37, but the Railwaymen netted more goals.
Llangefni also reached the FAW Trophy semi-finals.
League: Played 30 Won 17 Drawn 6 Lost 7 Goals For 69 Goals Against 37.
Runners-up in Welsh Alliance Division One. That would have been enough to get them promotion last season, but this term champions Conwy Borough have accepted elevation to the HGA.
League: Played 28 Won 19 Drawn 4 Lost 5 Goals For 68 Goals Against 25.
Overall league record
Played 120 Won 78 (65%) Drawn 18 Lost 22 Goals For 308 GA 140.
Chris Roberts is the right man for Llangefni Town. Since taking over as manager four seasons ago his team has never finished lower than third in the league table.
With just a little more luck here and there, Cefni could easily have had two league titles under their belt in recent times.
Roberts has assembled an unpaid, locally-based squad packed with talent and they will surely be among the favourites to be crowned Division One champions next season.
Llangefni Town have a good record in choosing top-class managers....Lee Dixon, Adie Jones, Bryan Owen and the late Joe "Bach" Williams are just four prime examples of that.
Chris Roberts is young, ambitious and respected. He has what it takes to restore the glory days at Lon Talwrn. | <urn:uuid:9c0eb66d-8419-4b87-89d6-5ac66277be6e> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.dailypost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/chris-roberts-decision-remain-llangefni-14632786 | 2018-09-22T09:33:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267158279.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180922084059-20180922104459-00300.warc.gz | en | 0.965875 | 1,009 |
By FIONA KEATING Olympic heptathlon gold medal winner Jessica Ennis married her long-term partner Andy Hill at a church in Derbyshire's Peak District on Saturday 18 May. Around 100 guests attended the hour-long ceremony at the Church of St Michael and All Angels in the village of Hathersage. Wearing a V-necked, sleeveless ivory silk gown with a ruffled tulle skirt and a full-length veil, the bride carried a small posy of cream and pale pink roses. The groom, a construction site manager, wore a dark grey morning suit, accessorised with a pink tie and handkerchief. After the ceremony, carrying a bouquet of cream and pink roses, Ennis said she felt "amazing". "The dress bit was the best day of my life because you never try dresses on like that, do you? It's very special," she said. The Sheffield athlete shot to fame at the London 2012 Olympics by winning gold in the women's heptathlon. She is expected to make up to £5 million in sponsorship deals and has been involved in advertising campaigns for Aviva, Powerade, BP, Adidas, Omega watches and Santander. The couple met eight years ago when both were students at King Ecbert School in Dore, Sheffield. Hill proposed on Christmas Eve 2010, and wedding plans were made around Ennis's gruelling training schedule. Ennis will soon return to training, as her outdoor season is due to start on 8 June at Edinburgh's Meadowbank Stadium. She will then join fellow British gold medallists Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah at the London 2012 Anniversary Games, to be held at the Olympic Stadium from 26-28 July. The Sheffield star will compete in the 100m hurdles and long jump. | <urn:uuid:d544219a-45e6-4d4f-83c2-038da8db48dd> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.trackxtraz.com/2013/05/olympian-jessica-ennis-marries.html | 2017-05-24T09:54:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607811.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524093528-20170524113528-00416.warc.gz | en | 0.965847 | 368 |

Avid Outdoorsman? Specialized Personal Liability Coverage Can Fill Insurance Gaps
You’ve been an active outdoors person for most of your life and love to backpack, kayak, and even rock climb. To you, all of these activities seem perfectly safe provided that one uses common sense. You may even make your weekend outdoor excursions a family adventure. However there are many ways that such a lifestyle can expose you to a liability suit.
For example, if one of your children invites a friend on a trip who then suffers an injury, you could be vulnerable to a lawsuit. Minors are treated differently by the courts from adults. While backpacking may seem tame to you and your family, it’s a more hazardous activity to those who lack your family’s extensive experience. Your son’s friend could wander out of his tent overnight and get lost, or get violently sick from drinking contaminated water.
Rock climbing is an especially problematic area of liability exposure. If you decide to teach a friend how to rock climb and he suffers a serious injury, he may have no choice but to sue you because his health insurance policy excludes rock climbing injuries. Being your friend, it didn’t occur to you to make him sign a release form that waives his right to sue.
If your equipment fails, you may get sued even if the person signed a liability release form, because it involves possible negligence on your part. You may also want to think twice about giving a rock climbing lesson to minors, regardless of their relationship with your children. Rock climbing is considered an extreme sport and is listed as such along with other sports you would never consider such as base jumping and skydiving.
Life is good but that can change should an accident trigger litigation against you. Preserve your lifestyle, assets, and financial security by identifying and filling insurance gaps that expose you to paying costly damages from a lawsuit. To learn about how specialized personal liability coverage can protect you from legal exposure and financial devastation, contact us. | <urn:uuid:f275d09f-0239-4871-9b66-bc3e56af1087> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://www.xinsurance.com/blog/avid-outdoorsman-specialized-personal-liability-coverage-can-fill-insurance-gaps/ | 2018-10-18T05:06:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583511703.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20181018042951-20181018064451-00171.warc.gz | en | 0.967234 | 444 |

Even before brave pioneers settled Stokesdale in Guilford County, which was established in 1771, travelers passed through the region to settle and farm on the new frontier. While agriculture still contributes more to Stokesdale's economy than tourism, you may find yourself in the quaint town while visiting the Greensboro-High Point metro area. If you love being outdoors in nature, the area is home to several walking trails within 20 miles of town.
Trails in Parks and Schools
Trails in parks and schools can be a good choice for walkers. During posted hours, stroll the trails of Stokesdale Town Park or Stokesdale Elementary School. If you prefer to observe nature while you walk, visit the trails outside of Stokesdale. Nestled among woods and meadows, Triad Park in Kernersville, offers 3 miles of paved paths and a 1.4-mile hiking loop. The short Piedmont Loop Trail in Haw River State Park has views of the Haw River, lake and mixed hardwood forests. In northern Greensboro, four parks including Bur-Mil Park, Country Park, Oka T. Hester Park and Price Park feature trails with views. The 0.65-mile gravel walking trail at Hester Park or the 1.0-mile natural-surface Evergreen Trail in Price Park are perfect for beginners. More seasoned walkers should choose the 2.2-mile Big Loop Trail in Bur-Mil Park or the hilly 5.0-mile multiple use Copperhead Trail in County Park.
Trails in Greenways and Preserves
The seven planned, multiple use greenways of northern Greensboro are straight tracts or open spaces that usually follow rivers, stream beds, abandoned railway lines or utility easements. Don’t miss the popular Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway -- the city’s only current rail trail, especially if a bicyclist accompanies you. This trail enables walkers and bicyclists to connect to their destinations while glimpsing the seasonal, migratory bird activity along the 7.5-mile trail. Strictly for walkers and hikers, the Mears Fork Preserve's Wall Place Tract, Cascades Preserve, Audubon Natural Area in Greensboro and the Taylor-Richardson Preserve all offer good trails for observing the beauty of the environment. The T. Gilbert Pearson Audubon Society (tgpearsonaudubon.net) often plans walks and field trips through several of the preserves.
Trails in Botanical Gardens
Trails in outdoor display gardens offer another opportunity to connect with nature. Walk the short asphalt and natural trails of the Greensboro Arboretum while viewing its breathtaking gardens and open spaces. Don’t forget to check out the butterfly garden and 23-foot-tall oversized wind chimes before you leave. Two walkable, concrete trails are also nearby in Greensboro at the Bicentennial Gardens and The Bog Garden of Benjamin Park. The Bog Garden also features an elevated boardwalk that traverses seven acres of natural wetlands. Walkers can hear the sounds of Serenity Falls as they observe the varieties of plants and wildlife inhabiting the park. All of the trails mentioned are located about 20 miles from Stokesdale and are open year-round from sunrise to sunset. Admission is free.
Trails are meant to be shared, so follow a few basic rules: Keep safe; dress for the weather; and yield when entering or crossing trails. Speak in a low voice and turn down your cell phone. If pets are allowed on the trail, keep them on a leash and under control. Be respectful of others on the trail. If taking a break, move aside to allow others to pass. While walking, keep right and pass others on the left. Finally, enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings, but don’t feed the wildlife, and leave what you find on the trail. Cyclists are asked to use caution on multiple use trails, but you should always keep a trained ear for cyclists coming up from behind.

Fast forward to Saturday... In the AM, I got together with about 40 fellow Lia Sophia Advisors for a very informative and re energizing Division Rally. I learned lots of great tips from the experts and also scored some fabulous SWAG that I will be giving away really soon! After doing a little bit of work, it was time to play. Of course it was Cinco de Mayo, so I had to partake in the celebration and what better place to do so than at Charlotte's version of Atlanta's uber trendy Atlantic Station called The Metropolitan.
|Me & Lia Sophia Zone Manager Andrea Schneider|
I had a blast at the Metropolitan, eating, partying and checking out some local boutiques. Stop by tomorrow to see what I discovered and what piece of my swag I will be giving away!
See you on the front row-

FROM: Honorable Daniella Levine Cava, Commissioner, District 8
TO: Honorable Carlos A. Gimenez Mayor
DATE: March 19, 2020
I want to thank you for updating the community on the County’s response to COVID-19 virus as the seriousness of this pandemic becomes increasingly apparent. Both the Florida Emergency Operations Center and FEMA have moved to a Level 1 activation due to the severity of the situation we’re confronting. The County remains at a Level 2. Wouldn’t the coordination of resources and information be more in line with the State and Federal emergency posture if we fully activated our EOC?
As our community continues to grapple with this growing emergency, there are a few matters that must be addressed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of County residents:
Access to Testing
• I had requested that we accelerate the pace of testing and that we deploy drive-through testing sites in Miami-Dade. I was relieved that Jessie Trice Community Health System had opened the County’s first drive-through testing site in South Miami-Dade at the Doris Isom Health Center. I would urge that more capacity for drive-through testing come online soon that can serve residents in North, Central and Western Miami-Dade.
Access to food for those in need
• I am glad for the great lengths that our County agencies and nonprofit partners have gone to in order to ensure that our seniors have continuing access to meals after the closure of senior centers. Unfortunately, for a large portion of our population, a regular day is a struggle to meet basic needs. During this emergency, many in our community who would have sought help from food pantries and other emergency meal centers also need help. I would ask that we get an update on efforts to provide meals for anyone in need
• County transit service currently remains available to residents who must travel to work or to stores for essential items. Because transit is being used for purposes essential to address the ongoing emergency, fares should be eliminated until the declaration of emergency is lifted. I urge you eliminate fares on Metrorail and Metrobus and clearly communicate to the public that transit use should be reserved for those who must get to work and those who need to travel to purchase essential supplies. • It is incumbent upon Miami-Dade County to ensure that transit trips are safe and clean. Therefore, I am requesting that you increase the frequency of sanitizing our rail cars and buses and provide hand sanitizer to transit patrons on county buses.
Shelter in Place
• Finally, thank you for your leadership in closing all but the essential stores. I believe a clear message must be sent that residents should shelter in place to abate the spread of the virus. | <urn:uuid:1b605287-31ec-44a9-a38a-5873d4c837db> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://daniella.vote/commissioner-daniella-covid-19-response-memo/ | 2020-07-14T16:47:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655897168.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714145953-20200714175953-00583.warc.gz | en | 0.956826 | 561 |

STRATEGIC OFFICE TRANSPORTATION PRIORITIZATION (SPOT)
The Strategic Prioritization Process is a data-driven, transparent method for prioritizing transportation projects and is used to develop the State Transportation Improvement Programs/ Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program(STIP/MTIP), which identify the projects that will be funded during a 10-year period. Prioritization scores all roadway, public transportation, bicycle & pedestrian, rail, ferry, and aviation projects based upon approved criteria.
Currently, the round of prioritization is in P5.0 to update the 2020-2029 STIP/MTIP. The Wilmington MPO is allowed to submit 19 projects for each mode. The MPO Board has approved the project lists at their June, July, and August 2017 meetings. From October 2017 – February 2018, the SPOT office from NCDOT will review and calculate scores for all projects.
HOW IT WORKS
Projects receive a percentage of available revenue in the following three categories: Statewide Mobility (40%), Regional Impact (30%), and Division Needs (30%). The Statewide Mobility projects are 100% data driven and selected based on quantitative scores. Regional Impact projects focus on improving connectivity within regions (7). Selection is based on 70% data and 30% local input. Division Needs projects focus on addressing local needs, and selection is based on 50% data and 50% local input. The Wilmington MPO along with NCDOT Division 3 will assign local input points to the Regional Impact and Division Needs tier projects based on approved methodology. This assignment will take place in the Spring and Fall of 2018. Projects with the highest scores will have a greater chance of being programmed into the STIP/MTIP. | <urn:uuid:63a48b39-ba0a-4a2e-93bb-a67dcf06fa45> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.wmpo.org/prioritization-and-stip/ | 2020-05-31T07:02:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347411862.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200531053947-20200531083947-00488.warc.gz | en | 0.917041 | 353 |
I took a short trip to Japan with the whole family recently; it was the first time for my children. They had their ups and downs, but overall I think it was a positive experience for them. The day we left one of them got sick and it seemed for a few hours that the whole trip was in jeopardy of being canceled. But a quick trip to the ER and some medicine in hand and we were back on schedule.
The plane flight was long, but the Airbus A300 we took across the Pacific had small monitors for each passenger to choose from among a large selection of movies and other media. After arriving in Tokyo we stayed at a nice hotel before taking the Shinkansen north to my wife's hometown. (I can't say enough good things about taking the bullet train. I'm hopeful that America develops its own high speed rail network.) The majority of the 18 days we were in Japan were spent with my wife's parents. They were awesome hosts and the food was great. I must have consumed every lifeform that naturally occurs in the ocean, usually raw, and often within hours after it was harvested. For the kids the number one food was natto. It's very good and may be worth trying to make ourselves as it is practically impossible to buy locally.
The previous two times I had visited was during the middle of winter, but this time it was harvest season in Japan and the rice fields were golden! Many of them had a harvesting machine sitting out near them, some were harvested while others were not. It was also typhoon season. But while we were there the weather was either sunny or overcast, but generally warm and pleasant. I can count at least three barbecues I ate at. The meat on the BBQ is always seafood - squid, scallops, oysters, tunicates ("hoya"), fish - with the exception of pork for yakitori, and beef tongue. Also on the barbie is a variety of veggies, like corn, kabocha squash, eggplant, and peppers. I have to mention the fresh fruit I ate. The grapes are incomparable to any I have ever eaten in America. Very soft and silky texture and a perfumey taste. Some are almost the size of small oranges! I had some of the best peaches (momo) and pears I'd ever eaten as well when we drove through Fukushima, which is known for its delicious fruit. The ever present vending machines provided new experiences too. I discovered I love grape juice with chunks of aloe vera in it, conveniently sold in a small aluminum can by minute maid.
We played at the beach, and visited two public aquariums and a zoo. I saw a pineapple sea cucumber, but no giant isopod. I had the very pleasant experience of having my hand nibbled on by dozens of "Doctor Fish" (Garra rufa). I took notice of the local wildlife. Spiders were everywhere, some were very large and their webs could span meters. The sheer numbers of them were amazing. I also saw a dead snake and praying mantis, several frog species, tadpoles, and other invertebrates. Pomegranate trees bearing fruit were a common sight. Though unremarkable to most people, I took notice (and photos) of these smaller wonders. At one Shinto shrine we visited (Shiogama Jinja) there was a flock of pigeons. We bought some food to feed them and as I held it the birds landed on my hand, arms, and shoulders and ate directly from my hand. As beautiful as the shrine I had just walked through was, this experience of complete trust and docility shown to me by the birds made it all pale in comparison. Occasionally, at the sight or sound of something the birds would startle and the whole flock flew off, circle round in the air, then return to seek more food. I could feel a gust of wind from the combined flapping of so many wings. The kids loved chasing the pigeons. But this is not to say that Shiogama Jinja and other shrines (like Takekoma Jinja) and Buddhist temples were not breathtaking in their own right. Walking on the grounds one is constantly aware of the great age of the place evident in the sculptures, buildings, stairs, and especially the giant and weathered trees.
While walking to the post office once we stopped at a daycare that allowed other children to visit and play. The kids there approached me, and asked "nanijin?", or "what nationality are you?" and they wanted to know the English translation to simple Japanese words. These little kids aged two to four swarmed around me and the high pitch and volume of their combined voices made their individual requests nearly impossible for me to understand. Rarely ever have I been honored with so much eager attention.
We took the ferry to Hokkaido and stayed there two nights to visit extended family. The first day the kids went butterfly (chocho) catching. The family in Hokkaido is warm, funny, and knows how to have a good time. There were nine little kids there all under the age of five (including mine among them), so one night we set off fireworks and sparklers. Another day we went to a hot springs, and another we made soba noodles from scratch. (In years past we made mochi from scratch.) There was even a karate demonstration with participation by the kids encouraged. What a beautiful setting they live at too - the equivalent of an American farm or homestead. We drove to the top of a high grassy hill where wild grapes grew and a warm breeze blew, and took in the view of the surrounding area. It was a happy reunion. There are countless horse farms in the area. We often walked to a nearby farm and called "Po po po po!" and the horses came to greet us for a soft pet and some offered grass. They are healthy and fast. A friend there showed me some beetles (kabutomushi) he caught that are almost the size my palm. My avid interest in wildlife is well known.
My wife celebrated her birthday with a shopping spree, great dinner, and fruit covered cake. We bought a fancy rice cooker that senses the moisture content and cooks under pressure. (I think it is nearly an equal to my laptop in computing power and may even be self-aware.) I must mention the automobiles in Japan, and the most noticeable among them are the "Kei" cars and trucks. These are the smallest vehicles; I think they are so cool looking. At one of numerous stops we made at the convenience stores that dot the landscape I saw a Suzuki "Twin". This is the smallest Kei car I saw. Of course, I snapped a picture. On the way to another hot springs we stayed overnight at, we stopped at Shiroishi castle. Massive timber construction, huge boulder foundation, very cool. On the way back we visited a park filled with traditional old style Japanese buildings. Many of them had thatched roofs supported by lashed poles used as rafters. My desire has been to emulate these methods and so I took careful notice of the details. The location among the trees and bamboo stands was very beautiful.
My wife saw old and new friends, and the kids played with their cousins whom they met for the first time. During breaks between activities, I studied Japanese. I am trying unorthodox methods to improve my language skill, approaching from as many angles as possible. I think reading some manga like Yotsuba-to! by Kiyohiko Azuma, or maybe Doraemon, Chibi Mariko-chan, Sazae-san, Otoko Oidon, or Omusubi Kororin might be useful. At least so I've heard. When I came back home I learned how to hack the DVD player to see Hayao Miyazaki anime since it doesn't support DVDs from Japan. Tonight the choice between watching Nausicaa or Mononoke Hime was difficult.
On the flight back across the Pacific I watched "My Sister's Keeper" and reflected that I sometimes don't see reality, maybe because it isn't always pretty, but it is the only reality we have. I guess what I'm saying is that I often catch myself trying to operate "up here" on some detached cerebral level, when I need to operate "down here" where dissatisfaction is a common part of life. Is that what the phrase "keeping it real" means? Self reflection was another pleasure I enjoyed while on vacation. I fondly recall a conversation with my father in law that began when he asked me the ultimately unanswerable question "What is most important to you?" Whatever that answer may be, he sought to convey it through art, to stimulate the experience of this in the people who behold his art. The last 18 days provided me with many good experiences I will reflect on for a long time. | <urn:uuid:19642a67-272a-41b6-a1aa-1bd198dcd988> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://keirality.blogspot.com/2009/10/japan-in-09.html | 2017-08-23T23:22:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886124662.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823225412-20170824005412-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.985305 | 1,833 |

NEW DELHI: Doordarshan will expand the capacity of its free direct-to-home television service DD Direct Plus to 250 channels by 2017.
The public broadcaster is already working on a plan to increase the number of channels it offers on DD Direct Plus to 97 from 59 channels currently.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved a Rs 3,500 crore proposal from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry on the 12th five year plan for All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan - Broadcasting Infrastructure and Network Development.
The scheme covers continuing schemes of the 11th Plan and new schemes of the 12th Plan that ends in March 2017. The continuing schemes of AIR and Doordarshan are at different stages of implementation and are scheduled to be completed in phases by 2015-16 by Doordarshan and by 2016-17 by AIR.
Under the new schemes, eight television terrestrial transmitters are also proposed along the Indo-Nepal border and these are targeted to cover 65 per cent of the population of Nepal.
This will ensure sustainability of DTH and increase revenue of Prasar Bharati. During the 11th Plan, 40 digital terrestrial transmitters were sanctioned and these are under implementation.
In the 12th Plan, 23 additional DTTs are proposed to be installed. Provisions have also been made for modernisation of existing equipment /facilities in studios and satellite uplinks which are essential to sustain ongoing activities and also for high definition television (HD TV) studio facilities at Chennai and Kolkata.
AIR FM expansion at 118 locations besides eight FM broadcasting set ups along the Indo-Nepal border, replacement of old FM transmitters at 77 locations and replace six MW transmitters with FM Transmitters, digitalisation of 29 studios and creation of archival facility at Guwahati are envisaged. Strengthening of training facilities, R&D and introduction of e-Governance with limited application of enterprise resource planning (ERP) are also envisaged in this scheme. | <urn:uuid:a3160d5e-dc62-47bd-b283-d07558fe68ec> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/tv-channels/terrestrial/govt-approves-rs-3500-cr-broadcasting-infrastructure-development-plan-140301 | 2015-03-27T17:22:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131296587.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172136-00270-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946826 | 411 |

In an earlier article, the authors outline some reasons for the disappointingly small effects of primary health care programs and identified two weak links standing between spending and increased health care. The first was the inability to translate public expenditure on health care into real services due to inherent difficulties of monitoring and controlling the behavior of public employees. The second was the "crowding out" of private markets for health care, markets that exist predominantly at the primary health care level.
This article presents an approach to public policy in health that comes directly from the literature on public economics. It identifies two characteristic market failures in health. The first is the existence of large externalities in the control of many infectious diseases that are mostly addressed by standard public health interventions. The second is the widespread breakdown of insurance markets that leave people exposed to catastrophic financial losses. Other essential considerations in setting priorities in health are the degree to which policies address poverty and inequality and the practicality of implementing policies given limited administrative capacities. Priorities based on these criteria tend to differ substantially from those commonly prescribed by the international community. | <urn:uuid:c92f26c9-4ba6-4681-89e4-5c554d54263e> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://econ.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/EXTDEC/0,,contentMDK:20382856~pagePK:64165401~piPK:64165026~theSitePK:469372~isCURL:Y~isCURL:Y~isCURL:Y~isCURL:Y,00.html | 2014-10-31T11:33:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637899632.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025819-00229-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964004 | 214 |
After such a grueling winter the past few months, heading back to the colder side of the calendar is one of the last thoughts on many people's mind, but the Adidas Originals Fall/Winter 2014 is making these thoughts come back quick. The shoes will come in two different silhouettes with a variety of graphic choices for the coloring.
The two silhouettes that the shoes will come in are a high top boot with a wavy sole and the classic Stan Smith low cut. The boot will be made of neoprene, suede and leather, making for a high class, stylish boot.
The Stan Smith will feature much of what has made it a classic with a more animalistic approach to the colorways. Both ways, we'll be seeing some inventive and exciting pieces coming out of the Adidas Originals Fall/Winter 2014 collection

When the performances are assessed, and the verdicts handed out, it likely won’t make pretty reading. Not a single Legia player stood out as offering an inspired performance in their second leg against Dundalk. But when the history books look back, they won’t comment on an untidiness in possession or a lack of clinical instinct in front of goal. They will merely state that Legia Warsaw qualified for the group stages of the Champions League for the 2016/17 season.
In their 1996 hit Three Lions, Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang “Thirty years of hurt never stopped me dreaming”. It may now have only been twenty years for Polish football fans, but they will be able to dream much more easily tonight, as Legia Warsaw put one foot into the Champions League group stage with a 2-0 victory over Irish champions Dundalk.

Apple is known for creating premium devices with very good finishes and materials, although you have to deal with a high price. Whether we buy an iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac or iWatch, we will have to pay much more than for another competing device. But in return we receive the quality, the brand, the operating system and the entire Apple ecosystem. We now know that future Apple AR glasses They already have a name Reality Promay be used as secondary screen and at the same time they will have one iOS-like interface.
This year will be interesting for Apple, since it will bring us the new iPhone 15 and its Pro and Ultra (Pro Max) versions, but the news does not end there. And it is that, the company of the bitten apple hopes to launch this 2023 some augmented reality glasses (AR) very high-end. We are talking about a device that will come equipped with very powerful hardware like the M2 chip from Apple, 16GB RAM Y 10 cameras integrated. Of course, as we warned months ago, its price will be very high, since it is expected that these will reach cost between 2,000 and 3,000 dollars. This is partly the fault of the components, but it will also be due to the few units in its initial release. Well, as we will imagine, it is a niche product from which some 700,000 to 800,000 units initially.
Apple’s AR glasses will be called Reality Pro and will have an iOS interface
About Apple’s augmented reality glasses we already know a lot of details, such as its hardware and even its operating system. This was previously called realityOS and was recently renamed by Apple xrOS. About this operating system we know that it is based on iOS and that it would adapt this system to a mixed reality environment. So, we will have applications like FaceTime, News, Maps either messages with which we can interact from Apple’s AR glasses.
Now we have more details and it is that these Apple AR glasses that were initially called “Reality Pro“, they will finally arrive with a interface very similar to iOS. Thus, they will provide many functions similar to those offered by the iPhone or iPads. This confirms that the company’s customers they will not have to adapt to a new interfacesince this will be familiar to them.
You can use them as a secondary screen for your Mac
In addition to an operating system similar to iOS, Apple’s Reality Pro will also allow you to control this interface through keyboard and mouse. In fact, it is confirmed that they can be used as a secondary screen of your Mac, thus becoming a external display that will offer eye and hand tracking thanks to the large number of cameras it includes. Thus, we will be able to control everything without the need for a physical device, although this option is always offered to users who require it.
Now, these AR glasses will be expensive, yes, but with the powerful hardware that they will include, they will really be unrivaled in their sector. Interestingly, Apple will focus on offering a best video conferencing experience when equipped with such a device. To achieve this, they want render the user’s face in virtual reality so you can interact with others as if it were real. A somewhat interesting approach that makes us curious about how realistic the end result could be. | <urn:uuid:ae036b82-3eac-41f7-bd36-fff95cdac034> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://esportsextras.com/augmented-reality-glasses-as-an-external-display/ | 2023-02-02T15:50:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500028.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20230202133541-20230202163541-00296.warc.gz | en | 0.972668 | 695 |
Fellow American Jim Furyk added: "He's probably here a little earlier than normal. I've never seen him here on a Sunday. Generally, it's nice to have him back and I can't wait until he's out here and I don't have to answer any more questions about him."
Woods is seeking to win his fifth Masters title on his return after the scandal surrounding his private life erupted late last year.
He crashed his car into a fire hydrant and a tree near his Florida home on 27 November, an incident that led to a storm of publicity about his private life.
In February, he admitted being unfaithful to his wife Elin while making a tearful public apology.
Wood's last tournament appearance was on 15 November - when he won the Australian Masters.
"We need to stand behind him," PGA Tour stalwart Kenny Perry said.
Other golfers believe Woods will return to the sport fully focused as he bids to capture the five major titles he needs to surpass the record of 18 currently held by Jack Nicklaus.
"He has made a mistake and he has come forward and really taken full responsibility," said close friend and former Masters champion Mark O'Meara.
"Now that he has come clean and he is trying to get better, you have to respect that. You don't respect what happened, but we have to let the guy move forward."
Woods has had seven top-three finishes from 15 starts at Augusta and those who have witnessed his practice sessions in the build-up to this year's event have been impressed.
"He's hitting it longer than before," Indian Arjun Atwal observed.
"I don't see anybody hit the ball like he does," said American John Cook. "That's vintage. I don't see anybody beating him."
Perry, joint runner-up to Angel Cabrera at Augusta last year, said: "I think he's going to come back and play great.
"He has got a little bit of a chip on his shoulder. I think it's going to make him stronger."
Woods has admitted he is wary of the reception he will receive from the galleries but former US Open champion Retief Goosen said: "I don't think he's going to be the bad guy. He's going to be 99.9% the good guy.
"There's only going to be that 0.1% that is going to make comments. That's probably going to make him feel a little bit like the rest of us."

Two new conceptual papers were published recently that tackle the question what network theory and network models can contribute to clinical science. Together, they provide a great introductory read and cover a large number of clinically relevant topics. While many technical papers are available by now, it is good to see clinicians and more applied researchers translate the more statistical concepts of network analysis into the actual clinical world by discussing, for instance, implications for nosology and therapy.
A Complex Network Perspective on Clinical Science
The first paper “A Complex Network Perspective on Clinical Science” appeared in Perspectives on Psychological Science last week. The authors, Hofmann, Curtiss and McNally summarize important conceptual issues of the prior literature. It’s a quite short paper, and a good introductory read, with a strong focus on how mental disorders can arise when problems interact with each other causally due to a phenomenon referred to as critical slowing down. The authors also discuss implications of the growing network literature for diagnostic systems and psychiatric nosology.
Contemporary classification systems for mental disorders assume that abnormal behaviors are expressions of latent disease entities. An alternative to the latent disease model is the complex network approach. Instead of assuming that symptoms arise from an underlying disease entity, the complex network approach holds that disorders exist as systems of interrelated elements of a network. This approach also provides a framework for the understanding of therapeutic change. Depending on the structure of the network, change can occur abruptly once the network reaches a critical threshold (the tipping point). Homogeneous and highly connected networks often recover more slowly from local perturbations when the network approaches the tipping point, potentially making it possible to predict treatment change, relapse, and recovery. In this article, we discuss the complex network approach as an alternative to the latent disease model and its implications for classification, therapy, relapse, and recovery.

Can network analysis transform psychopathology?
The second paper by McNally is entitled “Can network analysis transform psychopathology?“. McNally explains key concepts of psychopathological network research, and reviews — to my knowledge for the first time — four different types of networks: zero-order correlation networks, partial correlation networks, relative important networks, and Bayesian networks. He also discusses the topic of centrality (which nodes may be more important than others), and concludes with an interesting list of strengths and limitations.
Here an example of a Bayesian network (also called directed acyclic graph) shown in the paper, depicting relations among PTSD symptoms in a sample of adult survivors of the Wenchuan earthquake in China:
Experimental psychopathology has been the primary path to gaining causal knowledge about variables maintaining mental disorders. Yet a radically different approach to conceptualizing psychopathology promises to advance our understanding, thereby complementing traditional laboratory experiments. In contrast to viewing symptoms as reflective of underlying, latent categories or dimensions, network analysis conceptualizes symptoms as constitutive of mental disorders, not reflective of them. Disorders emerge from the causal interactions among symptoms themselves, and intervening on central symptoms in disorder networks promises to foster rapid recovery. One purpose of this article is to contrast network analysis with traditional approaches, and consider its strengths and limitations. A second purpose is to review novel computational methods that may enable researchers to discern the causal structure of disorders (e.g., Bayesian networks). I close by sketching exciting new developments in methods that have direct implications for treatment.
