First it was just the iPad app, which makes sense since an iPad has a display big enough for the purpose of the application. But on later stage client required the iPhone version to be designed as well. It was a challenge. We could not just scale the UI down, we had to rework it, so the user experience would not be ruined.

It’s been a long year. We’ve experienced gut-wrenching losses, worked our fingers to the bone, and realized that we were insane. OK, we already knew that, but this was a different crazy. Our mutual workaholic attitudes keep me and my husband moving, all the time. I’m always ready to have fun, “as soon as I finish these dishes,” or “after I clean up dinner,” or “another time.” But after 2016 had its way with us and shook us to the core, we realized that our “another time” may never come and that it’s vitally important to enjoy any moment that you are able to grab and hang on for dear life, before it slips away.
In that vein, I tried to be Fun Mom last weekend. It’s definitely not a role that I wear well. It’s awkward and ill-fitting, like an exceedingly hairy old man in an XL Tinker Bell costume. You may respect his right to follow his heart, but you don’t have to like it and you definitely don’t have to accept the offered hug. So, though I know better, though I have been down this road many, many, painful times, though I still need therapy for the emotional scars left from last time, I did it anyway. I swallowed my sanity and said, to all of the people who live in my house, “How about we have a game night?”
I made the suggestion right after breakfast. Everyone was well fed, happily enjoying their bacon fat-induced high, each suffering from the same amnesia that had overcome me and caused me to spew such foul and ridiculous words. They said ok. And that’s when it began.
Within minutes, each child was suggesting wildly opposite game themes. On the one side, it was strategy and/or warfare. These games require deep thinking, a significant investment of time (approximately the entire remaining years of my life) and, ideally, a Ph.D. in history with a concentration in political science and Eastern European culture. The other theme was trivia and/or educational. These games require cooperation, the ability to identify the largest sea mammal — after the blue whale (you thought you had that one, didn’t you?) and a love of utterly useless knowledge.
There were hours of deliberation. I’m not exaggerating. I cleaned up the breakfast dishes, made a grocery list, went out and shopped for those items, came home, put them away, started dinner and wrote my own treatise on towel definitions and uses before they even had the options knocked down to a manageable list.
At one point, my husband begged them to just stop fighting and pick something. Both children stopped speaking abruptly. They were indignant in their incredulity.
“We’re not fighting. We’re having a well-reasoned debate about the individual merits of each person’s viewpoint.”
I swear to God, that’s what they said. We let them keep going. How do you even respond to that?
Some time later, the sun was beginning to set. In a stunning display of purples and pinks stained with streaks of orange, the day’s last stand painted the sky as it slipped away, leaving me in quiet reflection, filled with a hopeful peace.
“We picked Twister.”
“Of course you did.”
The irony is that no one wanted to play Twister. Because no one past the age of seven ever wants to play Twister. From the days of my youth, I can tell you that even teenagers who think it’ll be a provocative opportunity to end up in close proximity to a love interest realize three minutes in, that there’s nothing sexy about it and that pretty much every person is contorted into unattractive and unnatural positions, just hoping that no one farts in their ear.
And it’s because no one likes Twister that it was chosen. In the end, no one could agree upon a game that everyone liked, so they went with the one that no one liked. Because if game night is going to suck, why not make EVERYONE miserable, instead of just one or two of us?
But I was going to do this. I was going to be Fun Mom! I pasted on a fake smile, conveying both fear and loathing, and then gave myself a pep talk. I’m fit! I work out! Forget that you’re also 40-something years old with a trick back. You got this!
I did not, in fact, have it. But, because I am not only stubborn but also driven to win at all costs — two fantastic qualities in a mother — I was still standing, on one foot with my right hand in the air and my left hand behind the standing leg, 10 minutes in. Yes, I felt the pain. Yes, I knew that keeping my forehead pasted to my knee was going to cost me. But I didn’t lose!
I didn’t win, either. It was a tie. As I slowly and agonizingly straightened myself to a semi-standing position, I held onto that non-loss with all I had. I spent a few minutes searching the house for my heating pad before I remembered the dog had eaten both of them. Then, I just laid on the floor, stared at my ceiling, and prayed for the wisdom I had clearly been lacking when I said, “Sure, Twister sounds fun.” And also when I said, “Won’t having two kids be so fun? They’ll always have each other!”
I wish I had remembered about the heating pad prior to Twister-induced traction. I could have made myself one from this pattern on instructables.com. Or, I could have offered it up as family-craft-time and avoided the whole Twister disaster, all together. Because family craft time will never be a thing and every one of them would have run away faster than my dog when I yell, “come!” leaving me alone so I could peruse their forgotten Christmas lists and realize that I had failed, yet again, as a mother.
Wishing all of you a very merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Year, and/or any other holiday you may celebrate that I left out (because, as previously noted, I am a failure).

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA —
Colombia's chief prosecutor said Wednesday that suspicions of illegal campaign contributions to President Juan Manuel Santos are based on testimony of a rancher connected to the leader's opponents.
The allegations have drawn the winner of last year's Nobel Peace Prize into a widening corruption scandal rocking politicians across Latin America due to admissions of bribery by Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht.
Chief prosecutor Nestor Martinez said that the accusation, which Santos denies, has not been corroborated and is based solely on the testimony of Otto Bula, who has been jailed for allegedly channeling bribes on behalf of the Brazilian firm. Martinez, formerly a top aide to Santos, said that he alerted electoral authorities so they could investigate whether almost $1 million ended up in Santos' 2014 re-election campaign.
"Right now, Bula's sworn testimony is the only proof that $1 million entered Santos' campaign,'' Martinez said in a press conference in which he was hounded by journalists seeking more details about the accusation. "He's given information the way, place and time the money was delivered.''
Just being associated with Odebrecht, which has admitted to paying $800 million in bribes across Latin America, is a major blow for Santos. His biggest political asset has been an internationally hailed reputation for rectitude that contrasts with the shady dealings of many of his rivals.
Santos had yet to comment, but his former campaign manager called any claim of a tie to Odebrecht unfounded and libelous.
When Odebrecht agreed in December to pay a $3.5 billion fine in the U.S. as part of a plea agreement, authorities in Colombia were the first outside Brazil to arrest former officials accused of taking bribes.
"So far no official from my government has been accused of taking bribes from Odebrecht, but if that should occur I want the entire weight of the law to fall on them,'' Santos said last month.
Among those jailed was Bula, a little-known rancher who was a regional political ally of the senator cousin of former President Alvaro Uribe, Santos' chief opponent. According to the plea agreement, officials in Uribe's government received the bulk of $11 million that Odebrecht admitted to paying in bribes in Colombia between 2009 and 2014.
According to Martinez, Bula lobbied on behalf of Odebrecht and helped channel $4.6 million to still unknown recipients after the company was awarded a major highway contract. Most of the money went through companies in Panama and China, but two transfers to Colombia of almost $1 million total purportedly ended up in the management of Santos' campaign, Martinez said.
Santos' aides quickly repeat their assertion that Santos took no private contributions, from individuals or companies, during his 2014 campaign in which he narrowly defeated Uribe's former finance minister.
Transparency Secretary Camilo Encisco said Santos welcomed an investigation to remove any doubt about his probity.
"It's the word of a criminal, who is looking for legal benefits at any cost, against the word of a campaign manager,'' Enciso said. "We're certain that these investigations will reveal such affirmations to be false as has occurred on previous occasions.'' | <urn:uuid:6bd834c6-587a-4ac9-af22-312dcc082843> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | https://www.voanews.com/a/colombia-santos-odebrecht/3714901.html | 2017-08-23T08:59:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886117911.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823074634-20170823094634-00341.warc.gz | en | 0.978149 | 665 |

A plane table (plain table prior to 1830) is a device used in surveying and related disciplines to provide a solid and level surface on which to make field drawings, charts and maps. The early use of the name plain table reflected its simplicity and plainness rather than its flatness.
The earliest mention of a plane table dates to 1551 in Abel Foullon's "Usage et description de l'holomètre", published in Paris. However, since Foullon's description was of a complete, fully developed instrument, it must have been invented earlier.
The plane table became a popular instrument for surveying. Its use was widely taught. Some considered it a substandard instrument compared to other devices such as the theodolite, since it was relatively easy to use. By allowing the use of graphical methods rather than mathematical calculations, it could be used by those with less education than other instruments. The addition of a camera to the plane table, as was done from 1890 by Sebastian Finsterwalder in conjunction with a phototheodolite, established photogrammetry in spatial and temporal surveying.
Plane table construction
A plane table consists of a smooth table surface mounted on a sturdy base. The connection between the table top and the base permits one to level the table precisely, using bubble levels, in a horizontal plane. The base, a tripod, is designed to support the table over a specific point on land. By adjusting the length of the legs, one can bring the table level regardless of the roughness of the terrain.
Use of a plane table
In use, a plane table is set over a point and brought to precise horizontal level. A drawing sheet is attached to the surface and an alidade is used to sight objects of interest. The alidade, in modern examples of the instrument a rule with a telescopic sight, can then be used to construct a line on the drawing that is in the direction of the object of interest.
By using the alidade as a surveying level, information on the topography of the site can be directly recorded on the drawing as elevations. Distances to the objects can be measured directly or by the use of stadia marks in the telescope of the alidade.

Since 1870, Syracuse University has been offering the finest academics, athletics, and extracurriculars money can buy. Well, ok, maybe not the finest academics, athletics and extracurriculars. But certainly some fine academics, athletics and extracurriculars. They’re definitely not un-fine. We’ll call them fine.
The point is that it has come to my attention that many of you are upset, and I’d just like to shed some light on how it came to be that everyone hates me.
Since the dawn of the digital age, I have feared what all university officials fear as time passes: that I will, one day, wake up with weird ear hair. But, a more relevant fear was that we as an establishment would not be “with it” when it came to technology, that we wouldn’t have everyone in our Friendster circles, so to speak.
Thus, we invented MySlice.
Thinking back on the decision now, I realize that my choices may not have been the best. Especially that one night in Tiajuana. But mostly, my choices on behalf of the students at this university when it comes to technology. For one thing, I have no idea what the site is programmed in. I realize that some of you, using PCs, may have instances wherein you cannot log on, whereas others of you, using Macs, also have instances where you cannot log on. In fact, I would be shocked beyond belief if any of you has ever successfully been able to log on. For another thing, and this is a pure hypothetical, but if someone is able to log on and get AirOrange to maintain signal for longer than five minutes at a time, I would have no idea how to direct them to the appropriate section on the site. Nothing is labeled clearly and any time you click on an orange, I’m pretty sure it redirects to Tropicana or something. As I said in the beginning of this letter, I messed up.
In order to remedy the situation, here is what we are offering:
Many of you love our traditional university experience. There are basketball games, quad(s), oranges, some classes here and there, and frat parties. These are the things that allowed Syracuse University to become the institution it is today. And I want to ensure that everyone attending the university knows that these things still exist. They are great options for those who want a more traditional platform.
I am also quite confident that our online platform will grow and improve. Well, maybe not quite confident, but certainly confident. I’m definitely not un-confident. We’ll say I’m confident. The point is that everything is done online these days and we cannot afford to be behind, even if our attempt at technology is an exercise in futility.
Since we realized that we cannot have people confusing our great university with our haphazardly constructed web services, we have decided to change the name of MySlice. It will now be known as “A Piece.” I always hear people saying, “Wow, that car is such a piece.” I want what was formerly known as MySlice to have the same connotation as those cars, which I can only imagine are nice, like pieces of”¦cake? I’m not sure how that expression ends, but I’m sure it’s “that car is such a piece of cake.”
I’d also like to assuage any fears that our services will be changing with the name alteration. Let me be the first to assure you: they are not. Everything will be exactly as it was. You’ll still have Syracuse University, a proud institution with a storied heritage, and you’ll still have online services that, for all intents and purposes, were put together by a team of drunken parakeets.
The only difference is, we’ll now be charging you separately for both. So you’ll have your monthly fee for Syracuse and a new monthly fee for A Piece. With the extra money, we hope to unveil a brand spanking new Syracuse operating system in 2013 called A Piece OS. And forgive me for bragging, but it’s going to take “the cake.”
In closing, actions speak louder than words. Especially if the action is an explosion or something loud. Words, though, can ramble on for pages until you forget how unbelievably mad you were about an action.

The exuberance of people power emanating recently from the Middle East has made us think of all the places on earth where people desperately need more power. Places where people live under repression, without free or fair elections, without the just distribution of wealth, access to basic civic rights, representation, justice or recognition. Places where people can "disappear", where torture is endemic and where censorship is rife and dictators milk the people of their rightful wealth. Places of fear.
On 11 February in Equatorial Guinea, a writer by the name of Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel embarked on a hunger strike to claim justice and democracy for his people, too. The despotic ruler of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang, has been in power since seizing it from his uncle Francisco Macías, another dictator who took power after the country gained independence from Spain. Massively rich in crude oil, the wealth of the nation lies in the hands of a minority elite while most Guineans suffer the indignities of hardship, repression and an appalling record on human rights – not to mention one of the lowest levels of development in Africa. Oil companies do business with the likes of Obiang and family, who are well served by the income generated from the country's rich natural resources. To quote Human Rights Watch, the "dictatorship under President Obiang has used an oil boom to entrench and enrich itself further at the expense of the country's people''.
Ávila Laurel is the author of more than a dozen works and a well-known writer in Spanish. He is one of very few intellectuals in a country where poverty is rife. In a desperate bid for democracy, he has written an open letter to José Bono, president of the Spanish Congress of Deputies, on the occasion of the latter's official visit to Malabo, requesting Spain to oversee a transition to democracy.
Much of this writer's efforts have been focused over the years on trying to dislodge dictatorship and instil democracy. Only this February, though, did he go so far as to embark on a hunger strike in this struggle. He has now travelled to Spain. "We all need to push," he says. By this, he means all of us: those who are without democracy and those who enjoy it, for the project of democracy unites people and is a shared responsibility. It is unfinished as long as there is repression and abuse. Those with freedom of expression need to speak out for those who have been silenced. More than the millions spent on war or the foray of tanks into Iraq, more than pledges made at election time and more than the vacuous dialogue of politicians, it is people power that can make democracy happen.
The problem for Equatorial Guinea is one of visibility and recognition; most African states rarely feature in western media. History is also a problem. There is a widespread and entrenched assumption that Africa is somehow "different" from Europe or the west. That things happen there that would not be acceptable elsewhere. Long the dark underbelly of "civilised" Europe (if in doubt, do read Hegel's renowned treatise on Africa as the point where civilisation ends), it is, for many, just "Africa" – a huge stretch of land with an amazingly diverse social, economic, political and natural topography gets collapsed into one word. Over centuries of colonial rule, the globally powerful have in their own interests both availed themselves of it and left it unrecognised.
Can Ávila Laurel, much loved, read and admired for his brilliance, his commitment and his courage to speak out, salvage the course of his nation by putting his life on the line? What can one man achieve by going on hunger strike?
A lot. The uprising in Egypt resulted from that which took place in Tunisia – and these started from the single, desperate act of the impoverished vegetable vendor Mohammed Bouazizi in the little known town of Sidi Bouzid. By immolating himself in protest at the confiscation of his cart by the authorities, he has posthumously given hope to the people of at least two nations. Last week's events in Egypt have plunged those who suffer tyrannical regimes into one, long dark night of the soul. It has willed them to voice dissent. To take huge risks and to run with the dream of democracy. To assert people power. That, however, requires people – everywhere, all of us – to speak out in democracy's name. | <urn:uuid:87a94281-5a6c-4c37-ad14-96bed5bed11c> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/feb/20/equatorial-guinea-hunger-strike | 2016-05-06T04:28:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461861718132.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428164158-00150-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973271 | 911 |
If you want to write for young adults, you need to understand the publishing trends. So, let’s consider what you need to know.
THEN AND NOW
For the greater part of the past two decades, the success of the Lemony Snicket books, Stephanie Meyer’s vampire saga, Cressida Cowell’s “How to Train Your Dragon” series, the “Hunger Games Trilogy,” the “Divergent” series, and especially Harry Potter refocused attention on books for young people and increased opportunities for writers.
Alas, we’ve entered a challenging era, a downswing. The Young Adult category has diminished in recent years with some houses closing YA lines and others publishing fewer books. So, while you always should perceive the trends, pay even closer attention than normal while waiting for YA to cycle into another upswing.
So, what should you gather about current trends in writing for young people?
TREND 1: Fantasy Remains Hot
Artemis Fowl, Redwall, Twilight, rereleases of Narnia and The Hobbit, and other fantasy books for tweens and teens appeared at record rates despite the woes publishing faced in the production and sales of adult books a decade ago. Many YA novels landed on the USA Today list of bestsellers, dominating for more than a decade.
Today, fantasy remains hot. While vampires are passé and Dystopian is mostly out, world-building endures. Teens love the immersion experience of exploring a new world.
Christians can write compelling fantasy that draws YA readers. In fact, we seem to excel at “fantastic” stories in unique settings that convey the Truth of God’s redemption.
Madeleine L’Engle. J. R. R. Tolkien. C. S. Lewis. More recently, Frank Peretti. Karen Hancock. Donita K. Paul. Patrick Carr debuted with “The Staff and the Sword” series. Anne Elisabeth Stengl repeatedly wrote compelling fantasy with her Christy Award-winning series of novels “Tales of Goldstone Wood”. And Publisher’s Weekly and School Library Journal praised Robert Treskillard’s “The Merlin Spiral” series published by Zondervan BLINK.
Bryan Davis, author of the stunning “Dragons in our Midst” series, reemerged in 2020 with two Christy Award-nominated novels. Jill Williamson conveyed truth with her “Blood of Kings” series and continues to entice readers with her ongoing “Kinsman Chronicles.”
Lindsay Franklin’s “Weaver Trilogy” — with books 1 and 2 named finalists in the 2019 and 2020 Christy Awards, respectively, and the third in the series now a 2021 Christy nominee and a Realm Award finalist — offers YA readers the hope that the past can be redeemed. Shawn Smucker’s novel The Day the Angels Fell creatively chronicles a young boy’s discovery of where the Tree of Life has been hidden since the Fall.
Enclave Publishing caters to readers of speculative fiction and intends to make a difference. Their website says, “Our stories can seem strange but underneath they contain powerful expressions of Redemption, Truth and Hope.”
We need more Christian writers — and publishers — contributing to this genre and writing books that Hollywood clamors to turn into movies, giving us a broader voice to impart Truth to YA readers. Yes, Fantasy remains hot.
TREND 2: Retell Old Favorites
How many times have we seen the story of Cinderella retold? Just last year, Emily Deady’s clean romance, A Shard of Glass, released as the first in the “Fairy Tale Royals” series. Three versions of the Cinderella story appeared in theaters or streamed in the past six years.
Each generation of young people want to hear the old stories again and again, even in different versions. Retold stories remain popular.
In 2018, Gail Carson Levine invited readers back to the world of Ella Enchanted with a prequel retelling of Beauty and the Beast called Ogre Enchanted.
In the realm of Christian publishing, Melanie Dickerson is writing award-winning YA novels. “Her Fairy Tale Romance” series revisits and reimagines Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, The Princess and the Frog, Rapunzel, Aladdin, Mulan (The Warrior Maiden, a 2019 Christy Award winner), and the Pied Piper (The Piper’s Pursuit, a 2020 Christy Award finalist).
Kara Swanson’s Dust (a 2020 Realm Award finalist) and its sequel, Shadow, in the “Heirs of Neverland” series transports YA readers into a new interaction with the boy who never wanted to grow up.
YA book blogger Lisa Parkin writes that fairy tales and classic literary stories retold with a YA twist have “gained some serious traction and will continue with flair . . .”
When Christians retell the old stories, we have the ability to emphasize the truth in them.
Publishers are saying religion is out for young readers, but honest stories that point toward truth are selling, and publishers probably aren’t going to turn down a gripping tale about a 17-year-old girl who weds a pagan king to save her people or a young man who slays a giant and eventually becomes king of a divided nation. Retell old favorites in new, fascinating ways.
For more ways to appeal to YA readers, be sure to catch my second post on trends in YA novels, next Thursday, August 26.

Valentine’s Day was always a special day for me. Growing up each year, I would wake up and my dad would have some candies and a card waiting for my sister and I. My dad will forever be my Valentine.
Now that I’m married, our Valentine’s day cards are more centered around humor than romantics. But an idea I can get behind is an amazing Galentine’s Day Brunch with my girls. While I have never seen Parks and Rec, Lesley gave us gals another reason to clink champagne glasses and gossip. | <urn:uuid:17934e0a-97e6-4735-a050-014b9857412d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://mollyandco.com/2021/02/the-perfect-galentines-day-brunch/ | 2022-10-06T04:45:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337723.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006025949-20221006055949-00742.warc.gz | en | 0.948317 | 123 |
03 Jan Regulators say Lack of Management Succession Planning is ‘Key Risk’
Regulators say Lack of Management Succession Planning is ‘Key Risk’
One of the key responsibilities for bank boards is hiring and retaining senior management. Yet management succession planning is a “growing issue for many banks” and a “key risk,” the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency noted in its most recent semi-annual risk perspective.
Boards must incorporate succession planning into strategic planning, the OCC advises. The OCC says examiners will focus in 2015 on the “adequacy of strategic, capital, and succession planning processes in light of assumed risks and planned initiatives, assessing whether banks’ plans are realistic and appropriate risk management processes are established and followed.”
Indeed, many banks under enforcement orders have been told by regulators to not only increase board participation in the bank’s activities, but to also put together a written management succession plan or identity future senior executives, according to a review of 2014 FDIC and OCC enforcement orders. The FDIC noted last year in Supervisory Insights that the lack of succession planning was a major element leading to Matters Requiring Board Attention during community bank exams.
In a workshop for community bank directors, the OCC recommends that bank boards have adequate management succession plans for CEOs, CFOs and even senior lending officers. Banks without succession plans could be ripe for takeovers. | <urn:uuid:ba3f036c-dab9-4813-8ab6-a1a7f6aa31d8> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://mablog.invictusgrp.com/2015/01/regulators-say-lack-of-management-succession-planning-is-key-risk/ | 2023-12-04T10:48:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100527.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20231204083733-20231204113733-00857.warc.gz | en | 0.949142 | 300 |
Early as it was, the main street was no place for any but formal greetings, and Archer longed to be alone with May, and to pour out all his tenderness and his impatience. It still lacked an hour to the late Welland breakfast-time, and instead of asking him to come in she proposed that they should walk out to an old orange-garden beyond the town. She had just been for a row on the river, and the sun that netted the little waves with gold seemed to have caught her in its meshes. Across the warm brown of her cheek her blown hair glittered like silver wire; and her eyes too looked lighter, almost pale in their youthful limpidity. As she walked beside Archer with her long swinging gait her face wore the vacant serenity of a young marble athlete.
To Archer’s strained nerves the vision was as soothing as the sight of the blue sky and the lazy river. They sat down on a bench under the orange-trees and he put his arm about her and kissed her. It was like drinking at a cold spring with the sun on it; but his pressure may have been more vehement than he had intended, for the blood rose to her face and she drew back as if he had startled her.
“What is it?” he asked, smiling; and she looked at him with surprise, and answered: “Nothing.”
A slight embarrassment fell on them, and her hand slipped out of his. It was the only time that he had kissed her on the lips except for their fugitive embrace in the Beaufort conservatory, and he saw that she was disturbed, and shaken out of her cool boyish composure.
“Tell me what you do all day,” he said, crossing his arms under his tilted-back head, and pushing his hat forward to screen the sun-dazzle. To let her talk about familiar and simple things was the easiest way of carrying on his own independent train of thought; and he sat listening to her simple chronicle of swimming, sailing and riding, varied by an occasional dance at the primitive inn when a man-of-war came in. A few pleasant people from Philadelphia and Baltimore were picknicking at the inn, and the Selfridge Merrys had come down for three weeks because Kate Merry had had bronchitis. They were planning to lay out a lawn tennis court on the sands; but no one but Kate and May had racquets, and most of the people had not even heard of the game.
All this kept her very busy, and she had not had time to do more than look at the little vellum book that Archer had sent her the week before (the “Sonnets from the Portuguese"); but she was learning by heart “How they brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix,” because it was one of the first things he had ever read to her; and it amused her to be able to tell him that Kate Merry had never even heard of a poet called Robert Browning.
Presently she started up, exclaiming that they would be late for breakfast; and they hurried back to the tumble-down house with its pointless porch and unpruned hedge of plumbago and pink geraniums where the Wellands were installed for the winter. Mr. Welland’s sensitive domesticity shrank from the discomforts of the slovenly southern hotel, and at immense expense, and in face of almost insuperable difficulties, Mrs. Welland was obliged, year after year, to improvise an establishment partly made up of discontented New York servants and partly drawn from the local African supply. | <urn:uuid:e763a17d-57fa-4e26-9385-edc9b11e0f2b> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.bookrags.com/ebooks/541/77.html | 2016-09-30T10:43:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738662159.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173742-00034-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.991978 | 760 |
In front of the 203-room property's planned authority opening on December 3, the Nevada Gaming Commission has affirmed a non-confined gaming permit for The Lucky Dragon Hotel And Casino. As indicated by a report from the Las Vegas Review-Journal daily paper, the Thursday endorsement took after the coming setting's general director, Matthew Harkness, showing the Nevada Gaming Commission with a report into the Las Vegas extend in organization with David Jacoby, Chief Operating Officer for The Lucky Dragon Hotel And Casino. "It's truly going to be a wonderful property," Harkness told the Nevada Gaming Commission amid the hearing in Carson City. "It's not an extensive gambling club. Be that as it may, it has a much greater feel to it when you stroll in." As far as it matters for him, Jacoby supposedly expressed that the new property simply off the Las Vegas Strip on Sahara Avenue has been intended to cook particularly to Asian clients and is the principal ground-up advancement of its kind around there for around six years. "So we're truly eager to be in the cutting edge of improvement of what we expect will be an influx of numerous advancements on the north end of the [Las Vegas] Strip," said Jacoby. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that The Lucky Dragon Hotel And Casino is to highlight five exceptional eateries offering a scope of bona fide Asian foods while signage will be in Chinese first and English second. The property's 30,000 sq ft club will have 40 gaming tables close by somewhere in the range of 300 spaces while a VIP salon on the second level is to be adapted towards baccarat and pai gow, which are prevalent with Far East players, and in addition a modest bunch of western recreations, for example, blackjack. Harkness allegedly told the Nevada Gaming Commission that the setting is as of now selecting 750 to 800 positions from around 18,000 candidates with The Lucky Dragon Hotel And Casino especially intrigued by representatives with dialect abilities that provide food for its focused on Asian demographic. He pronounced that the property extends that around 35% of its incomes will originate from the nearby Las Vegas advertise with a comparable rate from southern California. He besides anticipated that around 20% of takings are to originate from different zones of the United States and Canada, essentially on the west drift, while the last 10% is to be gotten from abroad players. Amid the listening to, the Nevada Gaming Commission likewise endorsed Harkness and Jacoby as key workers and was informed that the last had already worked two jobs as an exceptional humorist while going to college. "Perhaps one day we'll get a show," said Tony Alamo, Chairman for the Nevada Gaming Commission. "I think what you all are doing is exceptionally one of a kind." | <urn:uuid:48363564-c103-404a-b478-33aef4bcf633> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://kitabet444.com/my/news/30806 | 2018-06-18T05:41:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860089.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618051104-20180618071104-00587.warc.gz | en | 0.960002 | 557 |
Book. Last winter, when I was bored, I made a book. It took a while to get it printed and I gave away all the copies as soon as they were bound. I did a second run of the book, but by the time that was done, I had gotten lazy and didn’t bother to update my website. But finally, it’s been done. So here it is.
This is a beautiful hardbound volume (buy! buy! buy!) of 42 of my photographs. The book is called Sunsets because there are no sunsets anywhere in it. Actually, I have my back turned to the sunset in nearly every photo — in other words, you see the long shadows and orangeness of the setting sun throughout the book. The book isn’t directly related to Everydot, but it does contain photos from a few little towns that I visited to take pictures for Everydot. The design of the book is based on The English Sunrise. That book is all of photos of the sunset motif everywhere in England, and it consists solely of photos and an index in the back — its design was also what Walker Evans wanted to base a Polaroid book of the alphabet on.
So, if you’d like a copy (buy!) I have plenty to sell. If you want one, you can email me. And yes, I can take credit cards (buy! buy!) via PayPal.
Booklet. Additionally, in my dead-end bureaucratic job at the Municipal Water Board I’ve produced a small handbook called the Municipal Water Board’s Infrastructure Handbook #1: Township Road Signs. (Note to those not familiar: the Muncipal Water Board is only as real as the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople, Symbionia, or Plain Layne.) I expect the Municipal Water Board will be producing a number of books in the Infrastructure Handbook series. Each book contains snippets of some obscure and incredibly dull thing — this one is all about township road signs. Township road signs, while dull, are still far more exciting and varied than regular county road signs. Expect future topics to be one or more of the following: telephone pedestals, telephone booths, burglar alarms, typefaces, or manhole covers. Manhole covers, while an especially MuniWaBo-worthy subject, have already been done quite well in the book Manhole Covers by Mimi and Robert Melnick.
Physics. University science labs tend to collect ancient relics. That’s as true for the people as it is for the equipment. I went through Hagen Hall at Minnesota State University Moorhead looking for some non-human relics. A lot of the old equipment has typefaces that haven’t been popular in decades. Some of the equipment and boxes of stuff have a very dull, sterile, dated look, while other stuff, such as the building itself, have a very bright and colorful look. The result is an odd confluence of styles, mostly this very bright 1950s/1960s look combined with the dull grey industrial look which could in some cases be the 1930s as much as it could be the 1970s. Take a look.
Dots. I’ve posted 33 new Minnesota towns and 12 new North Dakota towns to Everydot. That brings the total to 183 for Minnesota, 73 for North Dakota, plus 16 in Manitoba, and 8 in Ontario. Check out the North Dakota ones (see the links to the right) for photos shot in the late orange evening, my favorite time of day.
Bacon. Finally, I’ve also begun to accumulate photos of modern household products with particularly interesting examples of particularly outdated graphic design in a section called Extant Design. You might ask why I’m doing this (of course, if you’re still asking questions like that, you probably haven’t looked at most of my other stuff). On a simplistic level, it’s just because these products are little time capsules, showing earlier (and usually simpler) graphic design. I also like to examine trends in design, just as the Ball and Swoosh design was popular during the dot-com days. That design wasn’t particularly graphically complex, and it was easily copied — that meant that you didn’t have to be a particularly good graphic designer to have a design that looked modern. I think the same is true for some of these products; their designers weren’t particularly avant-garde or really even unique. But because of this, they’re easily identified as dated. I think that good design can never really look dated. Real “classic” package design can be seen at the online American Package Museum and cheap, trendy, and/or sloppy package design still available can be seen here at Extant Design. | <urn:uuid:08b46bdf-f8b8-469c-9f1c-74d51813c12c> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://afiler.com/corporate-who/ | 2016-12-11T07:56:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698544358.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170904-00239-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967825 | 995 |

a sunki & a sale April 05 2013, 4 Comments
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of "meeting" Lou from "Wotsybaby", a blog about raising her daughter in a gentle and creative way.
This super gal has allowed me to post about her recent creativity, making the Sunki with knit fabric. I love it when sewists take patterns and made them their own and lucky for us she's sharing a "how to" with us!
When I decided I wanted to make this dress (Figgy’s Sunki! so lovely!) out of a non-woven fabric, I searched to see if anyone had done it before and had any tips. I didn’t come up with anything so thought I’d document what I did here to make it easier in case anyone else wanted to change it up!
1. The first thing is to size down. I have made this dress before in a quilting-weight cotton for my average-sized almost 5 year old and it fits well. Just right in fact (so not much growing room). I thought if I made the knit version in the same size, then we’d get a bit more wear out of the garment. It’s quite loose now and she tells me it’s very soft, comfortable and slinky! I could have made it in a size down for it to fit perfectly now. The fabric is a bamboo jersey and was great to sew with. I used a jersey needle (important tip#1.1) and a stitch that looks like a little lightning bolt that has lots of stretch (zig zag setting with a 3.0 length and a 1.0 width). I used my serger for some of the edges but not all of them (the bits around the armholes seem softer if they’re not finished).
2. I eliminated the zipper by cutting the back piece on the fold.
3. I didn’t bother with the facings and instead cut 2 pieces of 2×2 rib knit (the grey pieces around the neckline). The back piece is 1 5/8″ x 13.5″ and the front piece is 1 5/8″ x 13″ (I probably should have made them slightly – 1/2″? – shorter. So next time I would make them 1 5/8 x 13 and 1 5/8 x 12.5). I put them on in the same way as the Envelope t-shirt in the book Growing Up Sew Liberated (which I’d just made a few weeks before (I’m paraphrasing from the book for this next bit, I couldn’t come up with this genius!): Sew one long edge of front binding to front with lightning bolt stitch and right sides together. Gently stretch binding to fit. Press binding away from the front and turn the binding edge to the wrong side, encircling seam allowances and press. The raw edge of the binding will extend just below the seam on the wrong side of the front, then zig zag stitch (small zigzag) on the right side of the front along the bottom edge of the binding, just above the previous seam. On the wrong wide, the raw edge of the binding will be caught in this seam, finishing the binding. Repeat the entire step for the back and the back binding.
4. Instead of using the fold guides for the sleeves, I measured and marked 3″ over from the centre fold line on each sleeve (so 6″ total on each sleeve) and sewed a basting stitch 1/4″ from the edge. I pulled the threads tight and it was a perfect fit for the armhole once I put the sleeve in. (I sewed the sides first and put the sleeves in in the round which is my preferred method. It was no problem!)
5. I decided that the dress would be cool if I changed up the side panels but didn’t use a different colour of fabric so I freezer-paper-stenciled the stars. It’s awesome! I used Pebeo shimmer opaque fabric paint in Silver. Amazing stuff.
Things I would change for next time:
1. Use stay tape on the pocket fronts. The pockets stretched out quite a bit when I sewed them – a bit of stay tape around the curve where the pockets meet the front piece would help I think.
2. Make the pockets deeper. The pockets on this dress are not quite deep (I agree Lou) enough for a small lady’s hands or other trinkets. I think I will do this with any future Sunki dresses I make, knit or woven. With the knit fabric though, the pockets have a tendency to flop out if there’s vigorous movement (which is pretty much constantly!)
3. Put a bit of stay tape around the shoulders on the sides where the front and back overlap for about 3 inches. As Sylvie has worn this dress, one shoulder might flop off her shoulder (which she thinks is daringly grown-up and fancy but I don’t know if she needs an off-the-shoulder dress… hm). I think cutting the rib knit binding a little smaller (as mentioned above) would help to tighten it up a bit as well). Now that it’s been sewn up I think I’ll just do a few tacking stitches where the two pieces of gray rib meet at the shoulders.
It was a fun project and a very wearable dress. I think it might be one of her favourite garments I’ve made for the little miss!
Lightened Version so you can see more detail. :)

Reviews for theater within the greater Los Angeles area.
It’s a Pickle of a Life: “Humor Abuse” at the Taper
September 30, 2013Posted by on
One of the small surprises of my rather standard suburban upbringing was my mother’s passionate love for the circus. She took us every time Ringling Brothers came to town, appreciating most the lion tamers and the clowns. Indeed, somewhere we have a picture of the 5-year-old me hugging and being hugged by Emmett Kelly, the original Weary Willie hobo clown. As she explained to me early on, clowns have to be better acrobats than the acrobats. They not only have to do the same tricks, they have to know how to do them badly, the same way every time, without getting hurt.
If there was any doubt of this – and of the unique world in which circus people live and work – it will be dispelled by seeing “Humor Abuse,” now at the Mark Taper Forum. Here, Lorenzo Pizoni, who grew up in The Pickle Family Circus founded by his former San Francisco street performer parents, tells the story of that life and his tempestuous relationship with his father. In the process he performs several of his father’s clown routines, as well as the acts he created for himself. Written by Pizoni and college friend and playwright Erica Schmidt (who also directs) it inspires laughs, sighs, and a deep appreciation for both his unique background and his resilience in the midst of constant change.
The central thing you will remember, other than wonderful, sometimes slapstick, sometimes subtle physical humor, is that resilience. Indeed, such things as learning how to fall down stairs and from the tops of ladders, not to mention the discussions of his father’s many injuries (and by extrapolation, perhaps his own) lead to the image of someone whose love for the craft was balanced by a serious determination to define himself – a definition which eventually took him beyond the circus world.
Yet, the tale itself isn’t grim – even when things were darkest. There is consistently a humorous undertone. Touching scenes such as the use of the puppet version of himself that his father used in some of his bits, or the little red hat his mother made specifically to be good for hat tricks are balanced by sheer gleeful craziness: his weird green, ducklike character trying to climb a ladder in skin diver’s flippers, or a bellhop trying to carry too many suitcases upstairs.
Taken all in all, “Humor Abuse” provides one of the most uniformly entertaining evenings I’ve had in the theater in a long time. Perhaps that comes from my inherited love of clowns (don’t worry – no face paint with these ones – just the occasional red nose). Or, given the deep, chesty laughs coming from those around me, perhaps that is because, despite his more recent career as a legitimate actor, Lorenzo Pizoni is essentially very, very good at making people laugh. And that is, as my mother always said, quite a gift to give the world.
Performed without an intermission, it will startle you to discover the show is over. The time passes so quickly.
What: “Humor Abuse” When: Through November 3, 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturdays, 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sundays (no public performances October 2-4, due to student matinees) Where: The Mark Taper Forum, 135 N.

“I'm for CPA's who like tattoos and firearms.”
In stock orders ship same day if received by 4:00 PM Mountain Standard Time!
A durable Nylon Briefcase for when you need more room.
Double the volume of our Metro Briefcase.
Carry-on the CPA Business Briefcase on your next flight and you'll have everything you need securely at your side. Plenty of room for files, a tablet or laptop, a snack, and even a change of clothes-- just in case your checked luggage goes to Barbados, while you're heading to Brooklyn. Volara closed cell foam padding in front, bottom and back keeps your laptop notebook safe and as a nice added touch, it also keeps your briefcase upright.
DOUBLE THE CARRY CAPACITY.
The CPA briefcase has the same features as our popular Metro briefcase, except double the volume capacity. The inside includes two internal mesh dividers on each side of the briefcase. One file divider is sewn down on the bottom to keep your files or magazines fixed in place, while the other is left open to the bottom so you can secure your laptop out of the way using the snap buckle. Both dividers have pockets for CDs, business cards, and writing instruments. Carry your Nalgene bottle in one of the twin gathered-elastic end pockets.
PLENTY OF POCKETS.
On the exterior of the briefcase you have access to six pockets, including two expanding bellows pockets with exclusive 'Red Oxx finger loop snap' closures. 'Red Oxx Finger Loop Snap' closures. These side pockets feature the exclusive ROFLS -- "Red Oxx Finger Loop Snap" closures which utilize our Mil-Spec stainless steel snaps and thoughtfully designed thumb loops that make closing these handy pockets a "snap." ROFLS allows one-handed snapping closure. Simply slip a finger into the loop under the snap post and use your thumb to press the post in place. ROFLS is a clever solution that prevents crushing items (like your precious sunglasses) under the snaps. Behind each gusseted pocket are secret hidden flat slip pockets for that little extra bit of storage.
Hidden behind each bellows pocket is a secret flat "slip pocket" for papers, boarding passes, sunglasses, etc. The bellows pockets work well for laptop batteries or power supplies. The other two pockets are full-length flat zipper pockets for tablets, documents or magazines. Confidently carry your CPA Briefcase using the nonslip Claw Shoulder Strap or by the reinforced nylon carry handles.
A BRIEFCASE BUILT LIKE A TANK?
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around briefcases that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a briefcase, the CPAs are built tough. Starting with ione of the most durable textile materials available, 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that's stitched into every seam.
BOUND AND BAGGED.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the case, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the bag.
BINDING INSIDE / BINDING OUTSIDE.
In addition, each exposed fabric edge, such as on a pocket flap, is also bound using a thicker binding material. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to wear will have a thicker nylon binding. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors breifcases that brag of "binding" their edges.
WHY DOUBLE BOX STITCHING?
Each stress point, such as where the handles attach to the CPA, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double XX" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our service as parachute riggers.
MY, WHAT BIG ZIPPERS YOU HAVE!
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
PUTTING THE HARD IN HARDWARE.
Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of plastic hardware break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport or other inconvenient locale dumping your precious documents and electronics all over the ground, having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a little more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace of mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. Why worry about having your bag break down?
WHY THE CPA?
The primary advantage of the CPA over the Metro is space. Doubling the volume in the main compartment (width) gives you flexibility to carry more with you.
The Red Oxx CPA Briefcase keeps you moving, organized, even clothed, and your office goods protected.
Dimensions: 17"L x 7"W x 11"H.

As a train engineer who is frequently on the road this is a great bag. Extremely durable and excellent quality. I'm sure it will last for years to come ~ like my other, larger Red Oxx bag I purchased two years ago. Great stuff!
Good, but not "Red Oxx Great"
By WFF, Texas, January 14, 2014
I love my Air Boss. I had a canvas brief from LL Bean but it kept coming apart at the seams due to the weight of my 17" laptop so I got a CPA brief. The positives: it is built Red Oxx tough, just like my Air Boss. Love the sturdy seams, strong zippers, and the workmanship. It easily holds my laptop, brick, mouse, notebooks, travel documents, pens, and similar travel items. The negative: the design is not fully thought-out.
The bag needs 3 items to make me say that it is great. First, I need a secure INSIDE pocket to hold my passport. The outside ones are not secure enough, and the inside ones are only pouches, without a flap. A solution would be to add a velco keeper or snap like on the handle, to keep the passport in the pouch. Second, it needs a zippered pocket to hold coins. (All of the inside pockets are merely pouches with nothing to secure the contents if it should turn upside-down.) Lastly, it needs a hook or clasp inside that I can hang a keyring on. When I leave the airpot to catch my flight, I won't be using my keys for a few weeks. I don't want to carry unneeded keys, but I also don't want them to be flopping around inside. Outside is a security risk. If the brief had these 3 improvements, it would be a great design. Until then, it's pretty good, but not great.
----------Red Oxx Replies: Thanks for the great review and ideas WFF! We sell a Pin Mount Key Clip that allows you to mount it anywhere you like in or on your CPA.

I have searched the world looking for a briefcase that is capable of carrying everything the modern day business traveller needs in an organised, and easily accessible manner and that does not weigh a ton. I have spent a small fortune along the way trying a range of different products. The CPA rocks.
By BW, Albuquerque NM, January 5, 2014
I really like the CPA Briefcase. It is the best bag I have ever had for carrying my daily work files and my laptop. I use it as a portable mini-file cabinet. Even though it is great, I would make two design changes to make it better. First, I would make the top opening open more so I can see files inside better. Maybe have a U shaped zipper along the top that allows a "tongue" to be folded back so the top is wide open and I could see inside and pull individual files out. Second, make the grab handles shorter on the top so it would be easier to grab one handle to move the case. Also it would be easier to get ahold of both handles. They are so long that if you try to lift by one handle it is off balance. It's also hard to grab both handles with one hand because the are so long the are too far apart.

Wish I would've bought this years ago. I have the duffle bag a few years now and with the addition of this CPA bag my career should be covered. Fantastic quality, durable and looks great. It's worth every penny..then some. I recommend this company to all my fellow railroaders out there.
Best Bag I have ever owned!
By Troy, Iowa, November 14, 2013
I am a technical account manager / IT contractor and carry a lot of IT related gear around with me every day (heavy 17" laptop, tablet, chargers, writing tablets and document folders, small network switch, network cables, wireless ap, etc). I typically would have shredded an ordinary laptop bag in 8mo-1yr. The space inside this bag is cavernous and easy to keep things organized in. The red interior helps with item recognition in low light situations. Exterior snap close pockets are great, easy to close with one hand. I store a wireless mouse and cellular wifi hotspot in one and cellphone gear(chargers, battery extender, headset, etc) in the other. Shoulder strap absolutely does not slip on my shoulder, even when the bag is very heavy. Best laptop bag I have ever owned, hands-down!
By Mark, Chicagoland, November 8, 2013
Perfect for traveling. I do a lot of international travel, this bag serves as my office. The bag is very durable.
By Kim Ko, Melbourne, VIC, AU, November 1, 2013
Very spacious but very light.
Fits everything I would ever need for work.
Only four stars because it needs a sturdy veritcal divider to help organise the storage and keep the bag sit upright. An internal zip compartment will be nice too.
Very stylish. Everyone in office noticed. Love it!
By Durlon, Bedford, Tx, October 31, 2013
This review is pretty much identical to my review of the Air Boss.
I travel for work on average 2 to 3 times a week. Usually just an overnight trip. But I do have paperwork, my clothes and essentials that I must bring with me. These bags have simplified my travels immensely. I used to carry 4 bags, with my electronics, clothes, paperwork etc...Flying was a pain carrying all that around.
Now I've cut it all down to two bags, the Air Boss, and the CPA Briefcase and I'm good to go. I can carry everything and I don't have to check my bags anymore. I don't have to worry about a bag being lost in transit (which has happened to me several times). It's sturdy, seems to be very well made. I think these bags are going to last me a long time.
By Laura B., Cocoa, FL, October 24, 2013
I am loving this bag. I am very needy when it comes to bags and this one holds it all. I can just fit a large, pop-up umbrella for those months we get bombarded in Florida. Although I don't normally take my laptop to work I did once and it fit! It is a 17" laptop so it was a little bit snug but it fit. I have a separate lunch bag but many times I opt to bag my lunch and include it in my bag. I like that it's lightweight until I weigh it down, and the amethyst I chose is very nice. I hope to use this bag for years to come.
By Andrew, Dearborn, MI, October 10, 2013
This bag is the best I own. Domestic or import. I have owned Timbuk2, Chrome, Maxpedition, etc... This bag is way better. The strap is a stoke of genius.
Thank you Red Oxx, I love my bag.
What a piece of craftsmanship
By Rod, Ohio, August 29, 2013
What a magnificent piece of work this briefcase is! Strong, light, cavernous space and a pocket for absolutely everything. If you can't get your stuff in here, you don't need to be carrying it.
Bravo to Redoxx for their craftsmanship, design, quick delivery and for making life just a bit easier!
Fits EVERYTHING you'll need for a day at the office
By Benjamin, Boston, MA, July 29, 2013
Here's what I can fit comfortably in this briefcase, which should sum up how amazing this thing is:
1) laptop w/ wires
4) lunch bag
5) one RedOxx Market Tote bag
6) one RedOxx travel basket
7) pens and pencils
8) mp3 player with headphones
11) lip balm and hand sanitizer
12) water bottle and umbrella in the end pockets
This is a better, more spacious, and more indestructible briefcase than any leather briefcase I've ever seen or used. I could not recommend this any more highly.
By Jpg in miami, Miami, July 25, 2013
It serves every purpose. Took it on a hunting trip to argentina as a carry on for ipad, headphones and other necessities. Use it for work when traveling out of town for depos and need to carry files home etc. looks great. Holds a ton and wont wear out. A little tight under the seat on some budget airlines but who cares. Would buy again bc its so roomy!!
By Miata, Chelmsford MA, July 25, 2013
After struggling to find the perfect briefcase, I finally gave this a try. I've used various computer bags and backpacks and none seemed to meet my needs. I found backpacks awkward and other briefcases generally lacking in durability. Having purchased and used an Airboss bag for about 3 years, I have no doubt about the durability of this bag. It is extremely well made, with a lot of thoughtful touches. Believe it or not, one of the best things is it's relative light weight.
I have a i7 processor laptop that is very heavy and having light bag allows you to carry more stuff (such as notebooks) with relative ease. The only downside that I see is my "power brick" is relatively heavy and sticks out of the end pocket more than I'd like. I probably carry too much, because this large bag is pretty much full all the time.
I carry a laptop, powerbrick, mouse, various cables, pocket camera & charger, 2-3 notebooks, misc business papers, portable hard drive, pens, CDroms, phone chargers and misc other stuff. While it all fits, and more importantly is easier to access than other bags, I don't have a lot of "spare room"!! All in all it is a great looking, durable, large bag that does what is promised with no fuss or muss. An added bonus is it is Made in the USA!!
By Josh N., Mississippi, May 10, 2013
This is one RIGHTEOUS bag. It is cavernous, with no detail of a need or imperfection overlooked. This thing feels as sturdy as a well-designed leather bag! Being a Pipe-Organist, I could not see a better bag for holding all of the Bach, Brahms, Buxtehude, and Vierne, and every conceivable pair of "man-heels" (a.k.a. organ shoes), metronomes, and writing devices. I highly recommend this bag not just for CPA, but the hardcore organist, too.
By Steve, Herndon VA, March 28, 2013
This bag is a fantastic business/laptop bag with plenty of room to hold all of my gear. It built they way I expect all red oxx products to be made; durable, and of the highest USA! quality.
This bag feels so tough and durable, dragging it behind a truck would make it laugh at you at say "Is that all you got?"
I am a loyal Red Oxx Customer, and with superior quality like this I plan on continuing to be one for my entire life!
Excellent with one concern.
By Anonymous, Athens, GA, March 12, 2013
As most other reviewers have stated--the product *is* excellent. Still, the CPA does not have adequate padding in the bottom to protect a laptop to my standards.
Here is what I did:
I cut out a piece of (probably intended for yoga) exercise mat (slightly less than 1/2") for the bottom of the CPA. Inside the CPA I place my laptop in an oversized zip case that I have supplemented with thick, soft foam padding. Those two add-ons have increased the laptop protection substantially. I have already ordered and am awaiting a Gator carry-on bag.
By Rich, Southeast, February 28, 2013
I fly a lot and find a truly legal size rollerboard is not big enough for all the clothing I carry for a trip of 5 days or more. I have been looking for a bag to fit easily underseat that will carry my Macbook air in a small case with handles, my Kindle, and associated chargers, cables, and connnectors and still have room for some additional items that will not fit in my rollerboard. My CPA Briefcase does this perfectly. I usually carry a second pair of shoes, 3 pair of socks, a sweater and light jacket, toiletries, medicine and small folding umbrella. I still have a little room left over. It has been perfect for such useage.
By Aaron , Toronto, February 17, 2013
My wife bought me this bag for my birthday to replace my damaged bag that I had used primarily for work. I had heard of Red Oxx from a friend who owns the Air Boss and had traveled worldwide with it. I've only used it so far as a work bag but it's proven utility has already become evident. I was deciding between the Metro and CPA but I'm glad I went with the CPA as it easily fits my work material and my overcoat / gym clothes when I'm heading home on the subway. Being made in the USA was a major selling point. Looking forward to using it often.

Will the CPA Briefcase meet personal item/carry-on standards?

or try our Cable Lock

In a blog post from CBR last Friday 19 Aug, analyst Clive Longbottom is quoted saying that the acquisition of the software vendor Autonomy was a ‘sad day for UK company…’.
In the final paragraph, he went on to say –
‘…. it is almost inevitable that UK companies will be acquired by bigger US firms once they reach a certain size. “The UK has always been a great base for new technology. But the nature of the beast is that you can’t break into the US as an independent UK company; you just can’t compete with businesses there. It’s 60 million people compared to 300 million.”‘
KANA‘s Business Director, Bob Mann, takes exception to this statement and responds with:
‘The final paragraph that states that it is “inevitable” that “UK companies will be acquired by bigger US firms……because they …can’t break into the US” might, from the outside, be deemed to be held true in the case of KANA’s acquisition of the highly successful Belfast-base Local Government CRM company Lagan in Qtr 4 2010… except for the fact that Lagan had already ‘broken’ the North American market becoming the market-leading provider of Government to Citizen software and Case Management solutions (known as ‘311 systems’) in the region, with customers including Minneapolis, San Francisco, Boston, Toronto, San Antonio, Houston, Vancouver, Winnipeg, New Orleans, etc.
When the technology is world-beating and when these acquisitions are handled in the right way – with mutual respect for all party’s products and people – then the results can mean overall growth and a win-win for both companies’ customers. | <urn:uuid:ec21a0ca-427c-4d53-9af4-a0c52964ca43> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://blog.kana.com/government-software/uk-companies-cant-break-into-us-we-beg-to-differ/ | 2014-12-22T17:42:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802775656.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075255-00111-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946748 | 375 |

Seems as though New Jersey is still trying to shed money in order to gear up for 2010 LBJ Sweepstakes. As I thought, Brook Lopez is not going anywhere. Basically, Devin Harris has 35 mil left on his contrtact. All NJ want is a 3rd tier PG. Much as I like Will Bynum, I would have to say "don't Let The Door Hit You Where The Good Lord Split Ya" if it means getting Devin Harris thereby, scooting Stuckey to his more natural position of SG. We would then need a backup PG, that should be relatively easy.

"Fear, greed, and the desire for power are the psychological motivating forces not only behind warfare and violence between nations, tribes, religions, and ideologies, but also the cause of incessant conflict in personal relationships. They bring about a distortion in your perception of other people and yourself. Through them, you misinterpret every situation, leading to misguided action designed to rid you of fear and satisfy your need for more, a bottomless hole that can never be filled.
"It is important to realize, however, that fear, greed, and the desire for power are not the dysfunction that we are speaking of, but are themselves created by the dysfunction, which is a deep-seated collective delusion that lies within the mind of each human being. A number of spiritual teachings tell us to let go of fear and desire. But those spiritual practices are usually unsuccessful. They haven't gone to the root of the dysfunction. Fear, greed, and desire for power are not the ultimate causal factors. Trying to become a good or better human being sounds like a commendable and high-minded thing to do, yet it is an endeavor you cannot ultimately succeed in unless there is a shift in consciousness. This is because it is still part of the same dysfunction, a more subtle and rarified form of self-enhancement, of desire for more and a strengthening of one's conceptual identity, one's self-image. You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the good that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge. But it can only emerge if something fundamental changes in your state of consciousness." | <urn:uuid:0f09738b-daf3-44dd-bf5c-f8841d21f000> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | http://www.athomeinyourlife.com/blog/2008/3/6/going-to-the-root.html | 2019-09-21T16:11:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514574532.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20190921145904-20190921171904-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.964874 | 328 |
At the core of the issue was whether hockey bloggers should be accredited in the same way that beat writers or other sports media reporters are accredited. A press pass that would allow bloggers to watch the game from the press box and give them access to get in on the media scrums/player interviews down in the locker rooms. It would give the blog a different angle at covering the game or their team than a blogger who is getting his/her news from beat writers/media.
First off, since I do write on multiple blogs about hockey, I do think blogs are an interesting medium that teams haven't fully understood how to use yet. Some teams, like the Washington Capitals are have been very good with their blogger outreach in giving press passes to some bloggers, which I think is great. For some other teams, their policy is a strict no blogger policy.
I ultimately think it's up to the team to say whether they allow bloggers the perks of having the same access or a modified access to the press box or media access. For some teams that don't get the same media coverage as other sports franchises in the city, bloggers can fill the hole or the need for information to the fan. But for other cities, like the city where I live (Vancouver) for example, the coverage is already so well done/over saturated that there isn't a pressing need for bloggers to pick up the slack.
If the Canucks organization never accredits a single blogger with a press pass, well it probably will not have any impact on how well the Canucks generate revenue. The bloggers that I know will still go on to blog about the team whether or not they get a press pass. | <urn:uuid:e22a8cc6-9028-4a0f-85ed-72a98075bf00> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.vancitycanuck.blogspot.com/ | 2015-04-25T01:47:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246645606.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045725-00127-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960683 | 338 |

The moment you discover you are pregnant is one thing you'll never forget. Even if it isn't your first time - its just magical and fantastic to understand that a tiny new existence if growing inside you.
Being pregnant is one thing to savour and make the most of. Its not an illness - its the most natural factor that can occur to our bodies (in fact its what they are constructed for!) I get extremely annoyed when people moan about becoming pregnant - I loved every minute of it. In reality when my daughter was born, I missed having my bump and waking up in the early morning to feel her kicking and moving!
Yes of program you'll feel tired and there's morning illness to deal with, but each of these are short-term and once you've individuals first few weeks out of the way, you can then got on with preparing to turn out to be a Mum.
Physical exercise is very important during pregnancy but naturally consider it easy. I adore running but there was no way clearly that that could continue! Swimming is really a great kind of exercise to complete, and I found water aerobics extremely beneficial. Its great enjoyable, low influence and its beautiful to have the weight of the bump taken away by the h2o - particularly within the later stages. Its also enjoyable to see the nervous faces on the instructors who wonder if they are going to be learning a brand new skill of childbirth!
Eating the right foods and drinking plenty of fluids are also important elements to take into account. Eating for two is one thing that doesn't truly pass muster these days....... Follow a wholesome balanced diet plan and you'll not really feel the have to truly pack within the sweets and treats. That is not saying of program that the odd deal with ought to not be indulged in.
There's a lot being written and talked about these days with regards to being pregnant and alcohol that's its extremely confusing to try to operate out just what is for the best. Not being in any respect medically qualified I'm not going to talk about what ought to be carried out, but I will say that I did have the odd glass of wine and soda (spritzer) which I did enjoy. | <urn:uuid:1f68b458-b5b3-4937-9101-59cb802e98d4> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.usfreeads.com/2546158-cls.html | 2016-04-29T16:25:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860111374.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161511-00083-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983084 | 475 |

The Pennsylvania Collaborative Advocacy Network (PACAN) advocates for many issues important to those living with MS and their friends and family. We advocate for better laws regarding health care, housing, transportation, research and more. Click here for a full list (.doc) and detailed descriptions of everything the PACAN advocates for.

The Pennsylvania State Budget
The Pennsylvania chapters of the National MS Society work through the Disability Budget Coalition to help advocate for line items in the budget that affect those living with multiple sclerosis and other disabilities. Our goal is to achieve coordinated services and supports that meet the needs of individuals with physical disabilities and their family members. These services and supports must reflect the importance of consumer control and empowerment. Programs should be available to all people with disabilities, regardless of their age, age of onset of their disability or where they live. Recognizing the importance of unity among diverse groups, the coalition is made up of more than 80 groups from across Pennsylvania.
The National MS Society seeks to have healthy balance in our long term living services system. Home and community based services help people with disabilities and family members to work and pay taxes. They allow people living with multiple sclerosis to remain in the community with their families, where they belong.
To learn more about the programs that we advocate for, download our State Budget Position Statement (.doc).
Tobacco Settlement Funds
The Pennsylvania chapters of the National MS Society opposes Governor Tom Corbett’s plan to eliminate the Tobacco Settlement Fund, and oppose the proposal to create a seventh Pennsylvania business loan fund, Liberty Loans, with $220 million in Health Endowment Account dollars.
We support the current statutory language that allocates 30% of Tobacco Settlement dollars to adult health insurance programs including Medical Assistance for Workers with Disabilities and adultBasic or a successor program or programs. | <urn:uuid:2154a276-3e8c-4a76-94e9-ab3c451f5dd9> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | https://msactivepa.wordpress.com/pacan-priority-issues/ | 2015-02-26T22:53:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936459277.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074059-00011-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.939767 | 376 |
Most foreigners will agree that Korea has an excellent public transportation system. In Korea, you can reach almost everywhere by bus or subway. It is considered superb in terms of its easy access and cleanness.
Korea’s transportation system is now recognized as one of the finest example among other countries. In the past, many Koreans complained of ineffective subway and complicated road systems. But after it adopted the transit discount system and better equipped subway systems, situation got much better than ever.
Comfortable Public Transportation System
Korea’s transportation system can be considered a role model for other countries (Source: Yonhap News Agency)
There has been so much improvement in traffic system that now Korea’s traffic system is widely regarded all over the world. Most importantly, the subway and bus companies do not compete with each other for passengers and it became a win-win situation for them.
It can be considered cleaner here than in any other subways around the world (Source: Yonhap News Agency)
For example, the transit discount system helps passengers save their money, which is found only in Korea. For this reason, many policy makers from many countries visited Korea to learn more about Korea’s traffic system. It is common for Korean to pay with digital card when taking a bus, but in many countries, people are still paying by cash.
Moreover, a variety of bus and subway line can be considered remarkable. Since all buses were divided into four colors- blue, green, red and yellow- according to the routes, it became much convenient to take buses even in the rush hour.

While there are different website analytics tools on the market, MonsterInsights is the most user-friendly tool for beginners.
MonsterInsights lets you set up Google Analytics on your WordPress site easily and view your entire website’s analytics in easy-to-understand reports.
Now, let’s go ahead and see the steps on how to check the number of visitors to your site.
Step 1: Set Up Google Analytics on Your Website
Google Analytics is the most powerful website analytics service available, but it’s a bit complex for beginners. To be able to use it at maximum efficiency, you’ll need to have some coding knowledge or hire an expert to do the job for you.
Instead, we’ll use the MonsterInsights plugin to set up Google Analytics on your WordPress site. The plugin simplifies the setup process as well as viewing data.
All you need to do to get started is install the plugin on your site.
The plugin is available in both free and paid plans, so you’ve got a choice and can use whichever you like. The free version gives you basic features while the paid version provides several advanced tracking options.
If you want to use the free plugin, you can directly install it from the official WordPress plugin repository by typing MonsterInsights in the search box.
To do so, go to Plugins » Add New in your WordPress dashboard. And then, type MonsterInsights in the search box.
After you find the right one, click the Install Now button. Upon installation, don’t forget to activate it.
If you’ve purchased MonsterInsights Pro, you’ll need to upload the plugin by going to Plugins » Add New » Upload Plugin in your WordPress dashboard.
After you’ve activated the plugin, you’ll need to connect your site with Google Analytics.
In order to do that, go to Insights » Settings from your WordPress admin panel, and then click the Authenticate with your Google account button.
It’ll take a few clicks to complete the authentication process. Once it’s complete, you’re done with the setup process.

To view the reports, you’ll need to visit Insights » Reports from your admin panel. This will open the Overview Report.
Note: Google takes a few hours to gather your site information and data, so you may not find any data immediately after the setup process.
The Overview Report includes some of the key metrics that are useful for getting to know your website visitors.
The first section (screenshot above) shows a visual graph for the total number of sessions and pageviews your site has gotten in a defined range of time.
You can set the time range to 7 days, 30 days, or any days you desire.
Just below the graph, you’ll see quick data showing the total number of sessions, pageviews, average session duration, and bounce rate.
Then, you’ll see New vs. Returning Visitors and Device Breakdown data in percentages in pie-charts below that.
As you keep scrolling down the Overview Report page, you’ll see the Top 10 Countries where you’re your visitors are located.
You can see where you get the most visits from and the actual number of visitors.
If you want to see a detailed report, you can always click the View Full Report button at the bottom of each report. There is a View All Countries Report for this report.
On clicking this button, it’ll redirect you to your Google Analytics account page. There, you’ll see a more detailed report.
The last section of the Overview Report is Top Posts / Pages.
You can view the most popular posts / pages on your site and the total number of visits they received from there.
Step 3: View Publishers Report
Next to the Overview Report tab, you’ll see the Publishers tab. You can view some of the other key metrics for checking your site visitors’ number from there.
You can view the following data from the Publishers report:
- Top landing pages
- Top exit pages
- Top outbound links
- Top affiliate links
- Top download links
- Demographics and Interest categories
Although all of these reports are useful for checking the number of visitors, demographics data is especially useful.
Here’s how your demographic data appears in the Publishers report:
This shows your site visitors in graphical charts by their age and by their gender.
If you want to learn more, read our beginner’s guide to find demographic and interest reports in WordPress.
Step 4. eCommerce Report
You can see the number of visitors, pageviews, transactions, etc. for your shop pages from the eCommerce tab.
MonsterInsights comes with a powerful eCommerce addon which simplifies and automates advanced eCommerce tracking in WordPress.
In the eCommerce report, you’ll see data such as your shop’s conversion rate, the number of transactions, how much revenue you’ve generated, and the average order value.
You can also see a list of your eCommerce shop’s top products. That way you’ll know which products to continue promoting.
Step 5: View Search Console Report
The Search Console report shows you the top 50 Google search terms your site’s ranking for.
From this report, you can view which keywords are driving you the most visitors. This helps you with keyword research and SEO.
If you’re new to Search Console, here’s our step-by-step tutorial on how to configure and use Google Search Console.
Step 6: Custom Dimensions Report
The Custom Dimensions report lets you track following custom data:
- Most popular authors
- Most popular post types
- Most popular categories
- Most popular tags
- Best SEO score etc.
Using these metrics, you can get a clue as to what users find most interesting on your site. Then, you can analyze, and plan informed business strategies.
If you want to learn more about this, you can check out our helpful guide on using custom dimensions.
Step 7: Forms Report
Contact forms are the main points of user interaction on your site. By tracking forms, you can see how many site visitors view and submit your forms.
In order to track forms, you need to install the MonsterInsights Forms addon. It’s available only in the paid version of the plugin.
MonsterInsights supports all the major contact form plugins and provides you with a comprehensive report for your form conversions.

Befriending a Blogging Clique: How Not to Become Cyber ToastApril 27, 2011 at 7:34 am | Posted in Promotion, Social Networking | 12 Comments
Tags: a-list bloggers, blogging clique, how to promote a book online, how to promote without selling, mommy bloggers
An author and newbie blogger friend of mine said she wanted to ally herself with a group of powerful mommy bloggers and promote her book to them, but she didn’t want to become the victim in a cyber remake of Mean Girls. So, I gave her a few basic tips that I thought I’d share here. The good news is there’s a simple way to begin developing a relationship with your topic A-List bloggers: comment on their blog posts.
Reach out. Read their blogs and comment intelligently. It will give you visibility with your target audience (her readers who are interested in your topic) when you begin interacting with the blogger.
Contribute to the conversation. If you have personal experience, knowledge or special insight to the topic, share your information and opinions by adding to the discussion. It helps build community with the other bloggers and introduces you to their readers in an organic, non-invasive way.
If you disagree with the point a blogger has made in her post, you can open a polite debate by expressing your position and asking a question that allows her to expand on her position. But that can be tricky and shouldn’t be done unless you have read and participated on the blog long enough to have established a relationship and know how the blogger will respond in situations of disagreement. Do NOT go to another blogger’s site and pick a fight. It might even be better to use a trackback and keep your differing opinions on your own blog if you think the discussion will become too heated.
Don’t sell. Think of visiting other blogs like going to a backyard party. Everyone is standing around talking about a particular topic. Then you walk in and say the equivalent of: “Hi! I’m not interested in joining the conversation, I just came here to tell you about my great book/product/service.” Bad move. That kind of behavior can get you duct taped to a cyber tree. You’ll draw attention to yourself and not in a positive way. Read your comment aloud before you press the submit button. If your comment sounds like you are promoting yourself and trying to sell something, rethink your wording. Sharing information vs. sharing information about something you have for sale are two very different things.
If the blogger feels you are using her site for your own book/product/service promotion, she may delete your comment and ban you from posting on her blog, or worse—call attention to your breach in etiquette by posting about your rudeness. I know bloggers who have dealt with sales-y comments in those ways. Don’t be a comment spammer. It places you, your book/product/service in a negative light.
Leave a trail. Make sure you post comments using your full name rather than choosing the anonymous option. Include the URL to your blog in the comment sign-in form; that will make your name “clickable” in the comments window, so readers can find their way to your blog if they are intrigued by what you’ve said or want to find more information about what you’ve shared.
If the comment sign-in form does not allow for a direct click-through to your blog, you can end your comment post with a one- or two-line signature block with your name and your blog or website URL.
If you’d like to follow that particular thread of conversation, you can select the option to receive email notices when someone else replies in the comment section. This is particularly helpful if you want to continue participating in the discussion or if the blogger’s call to action has encouraged other comments containing useful information you would like to receive.
Give props. If a blogger has a particular post that you think would be great information for your blog readers, write your own commentary about the topic (you can also use an excerpt of the content you’re referencing), and suggest that your readers visit her site. Include a clickable hyperlink (use the permalink) to the relevant post on the blogger’s site. It’s free advertising for her and increases her blog traffic, in addition, it shows her you’re looking to establish a relationship of mutual support. And, it allows your readers to see you as a filter when you provide another useful source of information.
Overall, the concept is quite simple. Establish your online relationships the same way you would in person—a little bit at a time.
What tips do you have that worked for you?

It is very clear that our overall passion and future goals align perfectly, and I could not be happier with what the future has to offer surrounding this partnership.” | <urn:uuid:3bfdfc14-60f1-4dc1-9925-d2afe705034e> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.thejackstand.com/?p=2274 | 2015-09-05T16:14:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440646313806.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827033153-00067-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973626 | 282 |
She had a solid first-year with the women's cross country team, competing in the NCAA Division III Regionals.
Thus far, she's competed in the mile in two races for the Mariners - finishing 19th in a time of 6:46.51 at the Crowell Invitational at West Point and then dropping her time with a sixth-place finish (6:31.7) at a Coast Guard Tri-Meet in New London, Conn.
"Emily has been working hard but hasn't performed all that well as of yet," Coach Greg Lott said. "We are still playing around with what events fit her best. I don't think that she will be in a position to score for us this indoor season. We are just hoping that she keeps up her effort and develops into someone that will score for us down the road."

You love your Paleo or low-carb diet, but is it enough to give your metabolism the jolt it needs to really burn off that extra weight in order to live a healthier life? By eating foods higher in good fats, moderate protein, and little-to-no carbohydrates, you'll feel less hungry. Not only that, but your body begins to burn fats stores instead of the carbohydrates and glucose that usually bog down your system.

On our second to last day in the North Cascades National Park (NOCA), we decided to check out the Newhalem Visitor Center and the surrounding area. The visitor center consists of an impressive building full of countless beautiful, interactive exhibits, and a series of trails. It is located across the Skagit River from the North Cascades Highway (State Route 20) near milepost 120 and the town of Newhalem.
When we first approached the visitor center, we were greeted by the friendly Masyih Ford, an interpretive ranger at NOCA, who eagerly showed us the difference between a black bear and grizzly bear skull. Masyih is quite knowledgeable about the North Cascades since he began working at NOCA several years ago through an internship with NPS. He will be graduating from Western Washington University this year and will definitely be pursuing his passion for the outdoors. He was also very interested in helping us brainstorm ideas for connecting urban youth to the great outdoors. His suggestions included providing food and transportation.
After speaking with Masyih, we decided to explore the interior of the visitor center. The natural light streaming through the large skylight at the center of the building highlighted the stunning photographs and paintings hung on every wall. We were quickly drawn into a room full of colorful, unique exhibits. In the center of the room was a cool, super-size slug that we all took turns sitting on. We were disappointed to learn that the slug did not move so our hopes and dreams of riding it around the park were quickly destroyed.
Classic photographs showed lumberjacks posing with huge trees, demonstrating the history of timber in the area. The park is now 93% designated wilderness, which means that logging is no longer allowed. Three hydroelectric dams in the park complex provide approximately 15% of the power for the city of Seattle. This means that the National Park Service works alongside Seattle City Light to manage the areas around the dams, making it an interesting case of resource management.
In the corner of the exhibit room was a fascinating section about the impact of natural disasters, especially forest fires. A lightning bolt lit up the area momentarily and then a screen showed a growing wildfire. It quickly took visitors through the succession of events that follow a wildfire, including the first-growth trees and the animals that live best in burn areas. The special effects of the exhibit were stimulating and exciting and it was wonderful to see tourists and Washingtonians (including our own Leila Mirhaydari) alike get engrossed by the visuals.
After exploring the exhibit we decided to let Sarah, who is quite an expert, take us on a tour of two lookouts that we simply could not miss. The first lookout was the Gorge Overlook at the bottom of Gorge Lake, where we were rewarded with an excellent view of a waterfall. The second lookout was of Diablo Lake in its entirety. From the railing, the turquoise Diablo Lake, surrounded by several luscious peaks, glistened in the sun. The water is such a gorgeous color because of silt washing out from under glaciers. The wind was strong but we took it in stride. We were thankful for a way to cool off on such a hot day.

Why Exhibit With Us?
As independent food and drink business owners ourselves, we appreciate that deciding which events to attend each year can be tricky and sometimes a bit of a gamble, especially if you have not attended the event before.
So why choose to exhibit with us?
The aim of the MKFoodFest is to create a truly local food and drink event that is affordable for everyone from the new start-up or sole-trader to the well-established producer so we hope that you find a pitch fee that is affordable for your business.
All our exhibitors need to come from within a 20-mile radius of the venue so if you are within that distance you will not be competing for a place with businesses outside that distance. It doesn’t matter if you live a mile away or 20 miles away, if you are within that radius you will be considered fairly.
All our exhibitors sell food in one form or another. We welcome applications from hot food caterers, farmers market type pitches, craft food stalls, drinks producers and businesses selling their food services. We do have a few spaces for exhibitors selling non-food, food-related items.
The MKFoodFest has been well attended by visitors since its first event in 2016 and we have seen visitor numbers grow year on year, now reaching around 10,000. They are also the sort of visitors who are very keen to try and buy local food so often our exhibitors sell out before the end of the day.
We do not charge our visitors for entry nor parking.
We are a very friendly and supportive team and we do our best to communicate well with all our applicants and exhibitors and work hard to make the day run as smoothly as possible. | <urn:uuid:6f27f6b6-d279-410a-a9b2-7ac9d6445149> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.mkfoodfest.org/why-us/ | 2020-02-19T02:22:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875143963.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200219000604-20200219030604-00166.warc.gz | en | 0.972973 | 354 |

Here at Pertemps, we like to take as much pressure off managers as possible. We pre-screen candidates, provide plenty of background details and highlight key qualities of the individual that’s been put forward for interview.
However, what we don’t do, is sit inside the interview room itself: we leave that task to the client. They know their business better than anyone else.
Having said that, even the most skilled and experienced manager can make the odd slip-up when it comes to interviewing a candidate. So, here’s a few pointers that are worth following, particularly if you have recently been appointed to a senior position and are interviewing a candidate for the first time.
Research the candidate
You’d be disappointed if a candidate was unable to answer any questions about your business, right? You expect them to do a little bit of homework about the company they’re applying to work for. Well, the same is true of managers. Make sure you read about the individual beforehand, check the finer details of their CV and covering letters. View their social media pages, particularly LinkedIn. Understand who it is that’s coming for interview and prepare questions that are suitable. You should already be starting to build up a picture of the candidate long before they’re sat before you face-to-face.
Get the room ready
It may seem obvious but you’d be surprised at how many managers do actually forget to book an interview room in advance. Remember, this is just as much about you selling the business to the candidate as it is them looking to be hired. Searching for an available room with the candidate in tow is not a good look. Neither is clearing the desk of paperwork as they’re stood waiting to sit down. Get everything in order long before they’ve arrived. Make them welcome with the offer of a drink. Make them feel relaxed.
Sing from the same hymn sheet
Some managers prefer to conduct interviews alone but it may be advisable to have another key colleague in the room to gauge a second opinion. If you’re intending to let others join you, make sure they are prepped and seeking the same end-goal. Last thing anyone wants is for two or three people to be rambling off at a tangent or asking the same questions you just asked. This will only confuse the candidate and possibly send out the message that there is a distinct lack of communication within the business.
Keep your focus
You’ll often come across candidates that you know from the off will, for whatever reason, simply not cut it at your business. This doesn’t mean they are useless or incapable. They maybe just don’t fit with your company ethos. This doesn’t give you the right to switch off and ruin the candidate’s self-esteem or confidence. Remain interested, listen to what they are saying and provide constructive comments. Avoid sitting there reading paperwork or making notes when you should be giving them eye-contact. Drumming your fingertips on the table suggests they are starting to annoy you – again, this isn’t the impression that you want to give of your company. Remember what your parents used to tell you: manners cost nothing!
Following on from the above point, you should always retain a professional stance regardless of the interviewee and their suitability for the role. Slouching in the chair doesn’t look good, and tapping your feet with your legs crossed may look as if your mind is elsewhere. Sit up straight, retain eye contact and look authoritative.
Ask the right questions
Again; this seems obvious, but make sure that the questions you ask relate to the actual job itself. You are trying to find out if they have the competencies to complete certain tasks so ask them! Have they done it before? Was it a success? How did they overcome problems? Can they detail specific examples which prove all of these points? Avoid clichés such as ‘where do you see yourself in five year’s time?’ The candidate is likely to tell you what you want to hear, but what does this really reveal about them? Delve deeper and get to know the real them: are they the right fit for your team and this particular role?
Get over your own biases
You may always wear a suit and tie for work but that doesn’t mean other companies have the same dress code. So, if a candidate turns up to interview without a tie, don’t suddenly write them off. The person could easily have come from another job where the dress code is casual. Likewise, if you spot a gap in their CV where they didn’t study or work, don’t jump to conclusions, there may be a valid explanation. And just because you’ve discovered loads of photos of them out drinking with friends on social media, doesn’t mean they are always out on the lash and unfit for work! Remember, you can’t judge a book by its cover. It’s your job as a manager to ask the right questions and get the full story.

I am a distributor and I need to get a component maufacturer to issue an 8130-3 tag for use on a different type of aircraft.
The maufacturer is hesitent to issue the component with the standard 8130 usually supplied because i told them that the component had been selcted by the aircraft maufacturer engineering as the component they needed. This is not a U.S. type certified aircraft and the aircraft manufacturer is satisfied with the 8130-3 certified for another aircraft.
How should I handle this?
ANSWER: I don’t know the details of your situation, but I am assuming that the component is new. If that is the case, you only need a certificate of conformity (C of C) from the manufacturer. However, neither a C of C nor an FAA Form 8130-3 approves a component for installation on an aircraft. Ultimately it is the responsibility of the installer to determine the eligibility of the part for installation on a specific type of aircraft.
The issuer of an FAA Form 8130-3 is only required to list one of the aircraft types that the component is elibible for, so your aircraft type may not be listed on the form. | <urn:uuid:283c5192-0742-4acd-af04-a6cc85a4062b> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | http://www.faa-aircraft-certification.com/faa-form-81303-issued-by-manufacturer.html | 2023-03-30T17:30:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296949355.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20230330163823-20230330193823-00108.warc.gz | en | 0.949488 | 263 |

I'm looking forward to whether incumbent Seputeh MP Teresa Kok of DAP can retain her seat for her third term, or would BN's Carol Chew take the lead, despite the fact she had to apologise for the 'sexist billboard' few days back.
As a citizen, i believe everyone (who are eligible) should decide and vote for their future and their government. You hear a lot of people complaining and criticising the way government. But the worst thing they can do is sit around, continue to whine about the problem they face. Stop! Just register yourself and cast your vote; fulfill your right as a citizen in this country.
I've seen many things these few days, prior to the General Election.
I've seen a newbie, who is contesting against an old-timer, unorganised, but has a group of volunteers who are supportive of her. And she tries her best to be sincere and friendly with the people, having an eye for details in her constituency.
I've seen an old-timer who has been invited to many events and praised by many, yet does not seem so personal - lacking a balance in things she does.
I've seen politicians who are full of it and it just slip over - although despited here, is seen as God in his own hometown.
I've seen politicians who are just gun-ho, but just have not done enough research and ending putting their foot in their own mouth.
I've heard some are getting desperate, since people are getting smarter with access to information, and the way things have been going.
Tonight, as the results come in, it'll be a long, hectic night.

Salamanders are interesting creatures. When attacked by a predator, they will shed their tail and flee. The tail will wriggle around on its own for long enough to hopefully distract the predator and allow the salamander to escape. Fortunately, losing a tail is not a huge bother for the little guy; he’ll just grow back a new one.
Outside a select group of amphibians, the ability of vertebrate species to regenerate complex organs and body parts is extremely limited. In humans, it is almost non-existent (with the notable exception of the liver). But what cannot be done by nature, we can achieve though science! Or at the least, it may be possible in the future…
Regenerative medicine is a relatively new field that is creating new organs and new possibilities. Last month, it was reported in The Lancet that a 10 year old Swedish girl received a successful transplant of a vein grown in a lab from her own stem cells1. The girl was suffering from a liver portal vein obstruction, a potentially fatal disease. If she had been an adult, a vein would have been removed from her neck or leg and used as a replacement. However in the case of a still growing child, this procedure carries unacceptable difficulties. Instead, they grew one.
A vein from a deceased donor was stripped of all its cells and the remaining scaffold “seeded” with the girl’s own stem cells. This scaffold was then placed in a “bioreactor” which bombarded the structure with chemicals necessary for programming the stem cells to develop in a specific way. This allowed the new vein to mature before transplantation. Following a second similar procedure the girl returned to full health.
When it comes to organ regeneration experts have identified 4 levels of complexity:
- Simple flat structures such as skin and endothelium.
- Tubular structures such as blood vessels and tracheae.
- “Hollow” organs such as bladders.
- Organs with complex substructures such as kidneys or lungs.
The Lancet report is just the latest example of engineered organs being transplanted into humans. Indeed, similar results have previously been achieved with bladders, urethras and tracheae2-4. These manufactured organs have the advantage over normal transplants of being wholly compatible with the patient’s immune system, rendering the need to take dangerous immunosuppressants moot. However, whilst the scaffold technique is useful as a proof-of-concept, in practice problems can arrise. The scaffold may not be a suitable size, causing it to mismatch with surrounding tissue. The growth of cells on the scaffold may be uneven or insufficient. Furthermore, no group have yet created a level D organ using this method.
These challenges have led scientists to look for other options. 3D printing is an industrial manufacturing technique that has recently adapted and expanded into biomedical applications. A 3D printer creates objects by the process of “additive manufacturing”. The printer deposits layers of material (usually small, discrete pieces of metal or plastic) on top of one another onto a flat surface according to a programmed input. These layers are then melted together to form a complete object. This process is used to form many complex objects including machine components, jewellery and toys.
Very recently, 3D printers have become capable of laying down material at the micrometre resolution (one-thousandth of a millimetre), a scale which allows accuracy at the level of a single cell. Biologists have since been experimenting with using 3D printers to print human organs. Small clumps of cells are bound together with a rapidly-degrading film that allows these clumps to be printed three-dimensionally in a fairly structured manner. The cells are then deposited in a shape and structure similar to a specific organ. Whilst the arrangement of the printed cells is not quite the same as a naturally occurring organ, the cells are able to detect their environment and re-organise themselves into a more conventional structure. One example is shown below.
The printed cells used for this technique can either be specific cell types as shown above or more generic stem cells. Once 3D constructs have been formed, the tissue is maturated in a bioreactor to form a stable organ, similar to previous techniques. The now consolidated organ is essentially functional and in theory could be used for transplantation. However, such is the novelty of this technique that it hasn’t yet been put into practice.
Bioprinting has huge strengths over similar techniques including customisation, flexibility and reproducibility whilst not relying on donor material. In theory any cell type, body structure or tissue may be used in this technique providing the correct design and the correct type of “ink” is used. Even bone may be printable using a combination of osteogenic cells and temporary connective tissue replacements.
The potential for this technology is vast. Imagine if we were to bear the maximum fruits of regenerative research. Organ donor waiting lists would become a thing of the past. No more children on dialysis. No more diabetics on insulin. No more hormone disorders (we could replace faulty hormone-releasing organs). Men and women injured in wars or in car crashes would have limbs replaced or healed.
And what about non-therapeutic uses? Want a breast implant? No need to implant a silicon or saline bag – just add more breast. The number of animals killed for research purposes would greatly decrease. When you can test drugs and conduct experiments on organs grown in a lab, the need to extract these organs from animals would no longer exist.
Whatever the possibilities may be, research is still at an early stage. Printers of adequate sophistication cost in the range of tens of thousands of pounds, choking research in this area. We can only hope that as prices collapse, so will the barriers to progress.

Even though most publishers have added tracking code from Google Analytics to their sites, many are only using it to track top-level information, such as overall pageviews and sitewide bounce rate.
In practice, Google Analytics can be used to do so much more. We’ve put together a few examples here to show how you can use the tool to get more information about your site’s visitors and how your site compares to others in your industry.
To take advantage of some of these features, you may need to enable data sharing in Google Analytics. You can review and/or make modifications to your current settings by selecting Account Settings from the Admin tab when logged into Analytics as shown in the screenshot below.
If you’d like to learn more about how these settings are used, take a look at the Data Sharing Settings help page in the support documentation for Google Analytics.
Where’s Your Traffic Coming From?
It can be extremely helpful to see how people are finding your site – and how visitors from different traffic sources engage with your content. There are a number of ways you can view this information in Google Analytics. To see some of these options, expand the Acquisition grouping on the Reporting tab and try clicking on a few to see what types of information they show.
For instance, if you select Channels from the All Traffic section, you’ll be shown a breakdown of how much of your traffic came from organic search, social media, paid search and other sources.
In addition to seeing what percent of your traffic came from each of these channels, you can look at how users from these channels behave once they get to your site.
Just as an example, you may find that social media referrals make up a very small percentage of your overall traffic, but that segment of your traffic has a lower bounce rate and a higher goal conversion rate than average. As a result, you might choose to put more effort into your social media marketing.
Even though there are only four items listed in the All Traffic section, you can choose to view your data in other ways. The quickest way to do this is to click on the Other option for Primary Dimension (see the screenshot below). Here, you can expand each grouping to see a variety of fields that can be used to segment your audience.
One that you may want to check for technical reasons is Screen Resolution in the Technology grouping. If any of your metrics look out of whack for a particular resolution, it could be a signal that your site layout doesn’t render well when viewed in that environment.
Of course, with all the different screen sizes today, it’s likely that you’ll see at least a couple of resolutions with bad metrics. For instance, in the example shown in the screenshot below, there are 1,877 rows of data.
If the poorly-performing screen resolution only has a handful of sessions associated with it, it could just be a glitch or an error in reporting, and it’s probably not worth worrying about. On the other hand, if there are hundreds or thousands of sessions associated with that resolution, you might want to check it out more closely.
You can also use the options in the Search Console grouping to learn a little more about your organic search traffic and the ones in the Social grouping to find out which social media networks are sending you high-quality traffic.
What Do Your Visitors Do When They Get to Your Site?
The items in the Behavior grouping are also helpful when you’re trying to discover what your visitors like and what they don’t. If you select Behavior Flow, you’ll see a high-level visual representation of how your visitors traverse your site, including what pages they land on, where they go next and where they drop off.
To analyze this information a bit better, it’s usually more helpful to view the different reports in the Site Content section. In particular, the All Pages report breaks down your user metrics at the page level while the Landing Pages and Exit Pages reports show you where people are arriving and leaving your site.
It’s a good idea to check the Landing Pages report at least once a month and look for any surprises. You may find out that certain pages are serving as unexpected gateways to your site, and these pages could present new opportunities for you.
Likewise, you may also want to review the Exit Pages report on a regular basis. If a particular page ranks high on this list, it doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong with it, but it could potentially be a signal that a problem exists on the page and it is causing visitors to leave.
Comparing Your Site to Similar Properties
Sometimes, it can be hard to tell how your site is doing if you don’t look at the numbers in the right context. For instance, a 70% bounce rate may be great if your site is a blog that gets most of its traffic from social media referrals but not that great if it is an online storefront.
You can use the Benchmarking tool in Google Analytics to compare your site’s performance to others that are similar in size and content. To access this feature, go to the Reporting tab and look for Benchmarking in the Audience grouping. Within the Benchmarking section, there are three options:
- Channels – Breaks out the data by traffic source (organic search, social, direct, etc.).
- Location – Shows results by country.
- Devices – Displays data for desktop, tablet and mobile users.
After you pick one of these options, you’ll be shown a benchmarking report. The first time you view this data, you’ll need to select the industry vertical, country, and size (in terms of daily sessions) of the properties you want to compare your site with.
Think your site would fit into more than one of the verticals listed here? These filters aren’t locked so you can change their values at any time to compare your site to multiple types of properties.
When comparing your site to those in the category you’ve chosen, the results will be shown in terms of how far off your site is from the average of the group. Those values for which your site is better than average will have a background that is shaded green and those for which your site is below average will be shaded red, so you can easily note potential strengths and problems.
On top of all of these out-of-the-box reports, you can also create your own on the Customization tab of Google Analytics. It may take a little practice to get the hang of designing your own reports, but you can’t break anything here, so take some time and experiment.
Also, instead of reinventing the wheel, you may want to simply import reports that have been created by other users. To see what’s available, click the Import from Gallery button and a list that you can sort and filter will appear.
When you find a report that you’d like to use, just click on the Import button and it will be added to your Custom Reports dashboard. | <urn:uuid:6e7ed442-9f4b-4c81-a9e0-aea7c77f517b> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.ezoic.com/using-google-analytics-to-better-understand-your-traffic/ | 2023-03-31T06:30:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296949573.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20230331051439-20230331081439-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.925715 | 1,476 |

SCOOBA -- East Mississippi Community College carried a No. 2 national ranking in the NJCAA/JCfootball.com poll and an undefeated record into Thursday night''s game against rival No. 13 ranked Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C.
A soggy field and the threat of rain didn''t deter fans from filling EMCC''s Sullivan-Windham Field for the much-anticipated matchup.
The Lions seemed to be in gear to continue their winning ways and offensive domination when All-America quarterback Randall Mackey hit wide receiver Lance Lewis in stride for an 80-yard opening play touchdown. With barely 18 seconds elapsed, EMCC led 7-0.
But the lead was short lived as EMCC suffered a 43-26 loss.
MGCCC responded on its first possession when quarterback Greg Jenkins found wide receiver Kelvin Bolden open in the secondary for a touchdown. Bo Bryan split the uprights on the extra point to tie the score at 7.
From that point, EMCC (3-1) couldn''t respond consistently with big plays to keep up with the determined Bulldogs.
MGCCC (3-1) limited EMCC''s leading rusher, Pat Shed, of Starkville, to 29 yards on six carries, and led 21-14 after the first quarter, 35-20 at halftime, and 38-20 at the end of the third quarter.
Jenkins passed for 235 yards (12 of 22) and four touchdowns. He also rushed for 12 yards.
"They played a lot of man defense and I felt like our receivers could make plays on their DBs," Jenkins said. "It was emotional. They came to our house last year and beat us, and we felt like we had to redeem ourselves."
Brett Moncrief hauled in seven passes for 111 yards and one touchdown, Kevin Bolden caught four passes for 112 yards and three touchdowns, and Curt Amacker caught one pass for 13 yards.
"I''m very proud of our effort," MGCCC coach Steve Campbell said. "They played very hard against a very, very good EMCC football team. They tried to load up the box, but we had some very big plays. Anytime you can hold Randall Mackey to 26 points you''ve done a good job."
Mackey was 20 of 35 for 371 yards and two touchdowns and one interception. He rushed 13 times for 52 yards and two touchdowns.
Stephon Johnson led EMCC in receiving with seven catches for 90 yards. Lance Lewis caught two passes for 89 yards and a touchdown, and T.J. Ballou caught two passes for 64 yards and a touchdown.
"We got off to a great start, but we kind of killed ourselves with some miscommunications," Lewis said. "The coaches put us in the right places but we just didn''t execute. We just have to go on and look to our next game."
Trailing by only one point at the beginning of the second quarter, Mackey committed a rare fumble that MGCCC parlayed into a pivotal scoring drive, capped by an Eric Wills blast up the middle for a 22-yard score.
On its next possession, a Mackey interception led to another score by the Bulldogs with 1 minute, 14 seconds remaining in the first half.
"We started off good on our first drive but after that we did not execute like we needed to," EMCC coach Buddy Stephens said. "They had a lot of sacks and put way too much pressure on our quarterback. That falls back on me as a head coach and offensive line coach. Defensively, we gave up too many big plays and we did not take the ball away in the second half."
EMCC plays Thursday at Northwest in Senatobia. | <urn:uuid:652661be-c941-4afc-a77b-76a024741f6f> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.cdispatch.com/printerfriendly.asp?aid=2952 | 2016-05-29T15:25:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049281363.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002121-00057-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975261 | 779 |

The UK, like the US, employs a first past the post voting system. This simply means that the candidate with the most votes wins. Unfortunately, it has a nasty side-effect of locking out smaller parties. For example, in the US, many people argued that a vote for Ralph Nader in the 2000 Presidential election was a vote for George Bush. First-past-the-post voting systems tend to produce stable, two-party governments and rarely allow other parties to gain a foothold.

In the UK papers, you find that left-leaning papers support the AV vote while right-wing papers oppose it. In fact, it appears that the only group which opposes the AV vote in the UK is the Tory party (though Labour struggles with the idea). Why? Because the AV vote may very well destroy the Tories and this would have a huge impact on the US.
UK politics is comprised of a number of parties, though their first-past-the-post system still keeps Labour and Tories firmly in power. In an AV vote system, many smaller parties will have much greater chances to make an impact. Though some claim the impact will be minimal, the reality is that once people realize that they can finally vote for who they want, rather than against who they don't want, politics in the UK could be irrevocably altered and I seriously doubt the UK love affair with the US will survive. And that's why the AV vote could have such a huge impact on the US.
The US and UK have long had what Churchill first described as a special relationship and the UK has long been keen on maintaining it. Part of the problem is simply that the UK doesn't like to think of themselves as part of Europe and thus ceding some influence over world events to a "United States of Europe". Like many countries wanting to maintain influence in world events, the UK has struggled to figure out how to remain relevant. Hence, by hanging on the coattails of the US, the UK has tried to claim themselves a strategic "bridge" between the US and Europe or, in fact, the US and the rest of the world. However, Margaret Thatcher's pro-US policies followed by wide derision of Tony Blair as being George Bush's poodle has led to the UK admitting that the "special relationship" was dead. Tired of being viewed by some as the 51st state, the UK is trying to find a new place in a new world.

So what does the AV vote do in this context? Most predict that the Tories, the major "pro-US" party, getting locked out of power in the long term. They still have plenty of business support, so they're not going away, but they're going to be limited. Also, much of the UK does not want closer ties to Europe, so it remains to be seen what will happen there, but in an AV UK, I can't imagine the Prime Minister being such a blatant poodle that he would act so strongly against public opinion again. After all, there would be no more of a Clintonesque "who else you gonna vote for?" attitude. Under the AV vote, the British people are going to get a chance to have a new voice and that voice isn't guaranteed to be singing the praises of the US.
For the US, that means that one of our closest allies may very well no longer do what we want them to, thus further isolating the US. Clearly the US can't push China around and without the UK to cajole Europe to play along, the US may find itself having less world influence. Can you imagine the last Iraq war without the UK? I seriously doubt it would have happened. The world would clearly be a far different place. Thus, if the AV referendum passes, world politics could be radically altered in the long term. | <urn:uuid:20a4b8b4-c384-4e60-8306-caa45b199952> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.overseas-exile.com/2011/04/britains-av-vote-and-us.html | 2015-09-01T22:18:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440645220976.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827031340-00115-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974298 | 827 |
Last night I went to bed not knowing what was going to happen both outcomes really scared me, and I don’t feel I was the only one. When I woke up I saw the outcome my heart sank. What had just happened.
So here is what I’m going to do… and your welcome to join me in this… I’m taking this one on like I take things on when I’m on my mat. I’m going to breath thru this. Take each moment slowly and mindfully. In my heart I know there is with out a questions more good in the world than evil. More light than darkness, and well more compassion than hate. So I will not going to share my political views, rather I’m going to stand tall and breath.
There are days when I get on my mat as just part of my weekly cycle, I just go thru the motions and do what I feel I “should be doing”, while there are other days I get on my mat and cry, laugh, come to peace. Either way I breath thru my practice and just see what happens.
Hey, we’re all in this together! How are you are taking on the news of last nights election is a clear view of how you take most things on. Are you yelling, are you cursing the universe, are you crying, in sorrow, gloating? Or like me are you just trying to breath thru it. | <urn:uuid:26e8ef29-c4c1-49f5-8758-0e79f940cbab> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://ayogatale.com/tag/election-2016/ | 2019-02-18T04:32:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247484648.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218033722-20190218055722-00258.warc.gz | en | 0.968533 | 304 |
Watershed Size and Location
The Tensaw-Apalachee Watershed covers over 37,000 acres in Mobile and Baldwin Counties. Portions of the watershed drain the highly urbanized areas of downtown Mobile as well as Spanish Fort and Daphne along the eastern shore of Baldwin County. Land use breakdown: 21% urban, 3% agricultural land, 9% forested, 26% water/wetlands.
Main Tributaries and Tidal Influence
Tensaw-Apalachee River (HUC 031602040505). This watershed represents the lower portion of the Mobile-Tensaw delta and the confluence of the Mobile, Spanish, Tensaw, Apalachee and Blakely Rivers at the head of Mobile Bay. The watershed also includes tributaries associated with the D'Olive Creek subwatershed which empty into D'Olive Bay and Mobile Bay alon the eastern shore of Baldwin County. All of these areas are tidally influenced.
Water Use Classification and Impairments
ADEM's water use classifications within this watershed include Swimming & Whole Body Contact, Fish & Wilflife and Outstanding Alabama Water. The OAW classification for the Tensaw River extends from the confluence of the Tensaw and Apalachee Rivers to Briar Lake. Multiple stream sections within the watershed are listed as impaired for atmospheric deposition of mercury. Also, 5 stream segments within the D'Olive Creek subwatershed were placed on the 303d list in 2008 due to siltation caused by rapid development within the watershed. In addition to listed impairments, another primary concern is the impact that the Mobile Bay Causeway has on hydrology and ecosystems of the lower delta/upper bay.
The WL Holland Wildlife Management area and over 1,500 acres of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta tract (part of the State's Forever Wild public land trust) are managed by ADCNR as a nature preserve, recreation area and wildlife managment area and provide access to excellent hunting, fishing, boating, birdwatching, camping, and other activities. The Mobile Bay Causeway provides multiple access points including public and private boat launches, private fish camps, public fishing access, and also access via Battleship Memorial Park, 5-Rivers Delta Resource Center and Meaher State Park.
The Mobile Tensaw River Delta is a complex network of tidally influenced rivers, creeks, bays, lakes, wetlands and bayous and was named a National Natural Landmark by Congress in 1974. The Delta system represents one of the most ecologically, culturally and economically significant wetlands in the nation and includes priority habitats identified by the MBNEP (freshwater wetlands and intertidal marshes and flats). The estuarine habitats within the watershed support numerous recreationally and commercially important species of finfish, shellfish as well as waterfowl. USFWS documented T&E Species: Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris), Alabama red-bellied turtle (Pseudemys alabamensis), Gulf sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi) and American bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). | <urn:uuid:14a8b7b7-d1e8-484f-82bf-7fc226ef05ca> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://www.mobilebaynep.com/the_watersheds/tensaw_apalachee_watershed/the_landscape | 2018-04-25T04:38:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125947693.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180425041916-20180425061916-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.897264 | 665 |

I recently tried secondary fermentation and dry hopping for the first time. From what I even reading, it seems like secondary fermentation should go for 2 weeks. My problem is I dry hopped right away. I think two weeks will be too much dry hopping. Should I sacrifice a week of secondary and bottle after just one week?

This 14 March 2016 video from the USA, from when Donald’s Trump’s presidential campaign had only started recently, sats about itself:
All the Times Trump Has Called for Violence at His Rallies
Trump, however, has a history of calling for violent acts against those who protest at his events that goes back until at least August of last year.
TRUMP SUGGESTED SHOOTING MIGRANTS IN THE LEGS Trump in March reportedly suggested soldiers shoot migrants in the legs in order to prevent them from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a new book, an excerpt of which The New York Times published. [HuffPost]
FAKE PRESIDENT SHOOTS MEDIA IN VIDEO AT PRO-TRUMP EVENT A graphic video featuring a fake President Donald Trump stabbing members of the news media and lighting the head of a political rival on fire was played at a conference for his supporters at a Trump resort over the weekend, according to a report in The New York Times. [HuffPost]
A conference of ultra-right supporters of President Trump, held at the Trump National Doral resort in Miami, with his son Don Jr. as featured speaker, included the showing of a gruesome video that portrays Trump slaughtering his critics in the media and the Democratic (and Republican) parties with an assortment of weapons: here.
By Andre Damon in the USA:
1 October 2019
President Donald Trump, in an implicit threat of violence against his political opponents, suggested late Sunday that the Democrats’ efforts to remove him from office could precipitate a “civil war”. This came as the Democrats escalated their impeachment drive, issuing a subpoena to Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, and lining up a series of administration officials for questioning by the House Intelligence Committee.
In a tweet, Trump quoted the statement of televangelist Robert Jeffress that “If the Democrats are successful in removing the president from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War-like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal.”
On Monday morning, Trump broached arresting Democratic Representative Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and charging him with treason.
“Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason?”
By threatening a civil war, Trump is sending a clear message. He may not relinquish his office voluntarily if he is impeached by the Democratic-controlled House and convicted by the Republican-controlled Senate. The billionaire New York real estate speculator and reality TV personality is doing what he has always done when faced with a crisis, whether bankruptcy or political ruin—he is upping the ante.
Trump’s incendiary statements on Sunday and Monday followed his denunciation Saturday of four congresswomen from minority backgrounds—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley—and two Jewish House committee chairs—Schiff and Jerrold Nadler—as “savages”. On Friday, Trump met with Wayne LaPierre, the chief executive of the National Rifle Association. According to the New York Times, Trump asked the far-right head of the NRA if he “could provide support for the president as he faces impeachment.”
The previous week, Trump gave a fascistic speech to the United Nations General Assembly, warning that “globalists” wanted to “replace” national identity and libeling “socialism and communism” for supposedly killing more than 100 million people.
The Democrats, for their part, intensified their efforts to bring the White House to heel.
The major US newspapers published new disclosures from unnamed sources within the administration. The Wall Street Journal reported that “Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was among the administration officials who listened in on the July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukraine’s president.”
The New York Times reported, based on the statements of unnamed officials, that “President Trump pushed the Australian prime minister during a recent telephone call to help Attorney General William P. Barr gather information for a Justice Department inquiry that Mr. Trump hopes will discredit the Mueller investigation.”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell confirmed Monday that the Senate will hold a trial, as required under the Constitution, should the House vote to impeach Trump, a distinct possibility.
“I would have no choice but to take it up,” he told CNBC, adding, “How long you are on it is a different matter, but I would have no choice but to take it up based on a Senate rule on impeachment.”
Trump’s invocation of “civil war” and increasingly open appeals for violence testify to the breakdown of democratic forms of rule in the United States. Under the pressure of soaring social inequality, decades of war, and enormous growth of the “national security” state, the political order created to mediate social conflicts in the United States through the constitutional order is coming apart at the seams.
In the conflict between Trump and his ruling class critics, there is no progressive or democratic side. The divisions within the state are motivated above all by foreign policy. In particular, dominant sections of the state, including Republicans as well as Democrats, are concerned that Trump has failed to take a sufficiently confrontational approach to Russia and that his nationalist geopolitics and personal political interests are cutting across the long-term interests of US imperialism.
The campaign of the Democrats is led by powerful sections of the intelligence agencies. It was instigated by a leak from a CIA agent in the White House. The move by Democratic Party leadership toward impeachment only came after Democratic representatives with military and intelligence backgrounds declared their support for such an action.
The impeachment drive also followed the ouster of Trump’s national security advisor, an arch-warmonger who had come into conflict with Giuliani. On Monday, the Hill reported that Bolton had opposed Trump’s call with the Ukrainian president.
While Trump threatens a “civil war” in which his fascistic supporters might be mobilized against his opponents within the state, what all factions of the ruling class fear above all is any genuine mobilization of the working population against Trump and the capitalist system of which he is a product.
It is for this reason that the Democrats have ruled out basing their impeachment inquiry on anything but Trump’s efforts to solicit “foreign interference”. The New York Times, outlining the scope of the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, declared Trump had the “absolute right” to pursue his chosen policies on “the environment, immigration, taxes, trade and other matters.”
Having suggested that his impeachment could provoke “civil war” and threatened to arrest the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee on treason charges, President Donald Trump on Tuesday tweeted a map of the 2016 election results with the words “Try to impeach this” written across it. The map, a county-by-county presentation of the presidential election results, shows a solid mass of Republican red, with isolated blue (Democratic) patches on the west and east coasts. Trump won 2,626 counties to Hillary Clinton’s 487, according to the Associated Press, covering the vast bulk of the country’s territory. However, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by more than 2.8 million ballots, as her support was concentrated in heavily-populated urban areas while Trump’s was based largely in sparsely populated rural and semi-rural regions. The tweet was yet another implied threat by Trump to resist by extra-constitutional means any attempt to remove him from office, aimed at inciting the far-right and fascist elements in his political base: here.
Trump’s Push For Ukraine To Probe CrowdStrike Is Rooted In Wild Conspiracy Theories As President Donald Trump prodded his Ukraine counterpart to investigate his potential 2020 Democratic rival, Joe Biden, he also made another request, one that stems from outlandish conspiracy notions that Trump has embraced and emboldened in recent years.
This 1 October 2019 video from the USA says about itself:
Host Smacks Down Democrat Defending Biden Corruption.
By Patrick Martin in the USA:
Hunter Biden made $850,000 on board of Ukraine gas company
1 October 2019
The son of Vice President Joe Biden, a lawyer-lobbyist with no known expertise in the production, transport, or distribution of natural gas, or in the complex financial operations of such a business, was placed on the board of the largest gas company in Ukraine in April 2014 and remained there until spring of this year, netting some $850,000 in payments.
The Hunter Biden-Ukraine connection has become the trigger for the opening of impeachment proceedings against President Trump, but the connection itself is worth examining in its own right. The younger Biden’s career sheds light on the decay of American democracy and the vast social gulf that has opened up between the ruling elite and the vast majority of the population, struggling to survive from paycheck to paycheck, and, as a recent survey found, unable to afford paying an unexpected bill of $400.
Hunter Biden, now aged 49, is the former vice president’s younger son, and the sole survivor among his children. Naomi, then a year old, was killed in the 1972 car crash that also took the life of Biden’s first wife. Beau Biden, the older son by one year, died of brain cancer in 2015.
The younger Biden has always been the black sheep of the family, even according to various sympathetic accounts, most of them appearing in publications—The New Yorker, the New York Times, the Washington Post—favorable to the Democrats.
The New Yorker piece, at more than 10,000 words by far the longest, published in July, was obviously planted by the Biden campaign for the purpose of venting all the bad news about Hunter Biden as a preemptive measure against anticipated stink bombs from the Trump campaign.
It was prepared through lengthy interviews by reporter Adam Entous with Hunter Biden. And it delivers a lot of bad news about a career devoted apparently to influence-peddling and drug abuse, both on a scale that matches or exceeds that of any dubious relative of any previous president, at least until Donald Trump.
Hunter Biden was hired by MBNA bank in Delaware, fresh out of Yale Law School, and paid a six-figure salary at the age of 26 because his father was a senator from that state and a fervent defender of the bank and credit card industries. MBNA was then the largest US issuer of credit cards.
He then moved to Washington to take a position in the last years of the Clinton administration. Once the Republicans came to power with the George W. Bush administration, in 2001, he became a lobbyist, helping Jesuit Catholic colleges insert earmarks into congressional appropriations bills.
When earmarks became more difficult to obtain, and after losing money in a speculative venture on the eve of the 2007-2008 financial crash, Biden formed a “consulting” group with Christopher Heinz, stepson of Senator John Kerry and an heir to the Heinz fortune, and a Yale friend of Heinz’s, Devon Archer.
Inevitably, after his father’s election as vice president, given a prominent international role in the Obama-Biden administration, Hunter Biden’s consulting firm branched out into global deal-making, focusing on countries where influence-peddling would be most lucrative and actual business credentials least necessary, among others, China and Ukraine.
In China, the younger Biden traveled on Air Force Two in 2013 with his father, who was making an official trip to Beijing. In the course of this, Hunter Biden introduced a Chinese business partner, Jonathan Li, to the vice president. He left China with promises of future investments, although not with the $1.5 billion that Trump now falsely claims. According to Hunter Biden’s attorney, no money has yet flowed from that particular connection.
Another Chinese business prospect gave Hunter Biden a diamond worth either $80,000 (according to his ex-wife’s divorce suit) or $10,000, according to Biden’s response to the suit, but in any case, much beyond the normal range of business gratuities.
But Ukraine is where Hunter Biden has apparently cashed in most extensively, trading on his father’s name and position. In 2013-2014, a right-wing … movement backed by the CIA and the German government gained the upper hand in an internal power struggle within the Ukraine capitalist class.
The Maidan “revolution” was actually a right-wing coup, spearheaded by outright fascist forces, some of whom marched under Nazi insignias, against the elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, who was aligned with the Russian government of Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine has been a “wild west” for the operations of foreign intelligence services and capitalist oligarchs at least since the so-called Orange Revolution of 2004, the first successful effort by Washington to bring to power a US-backed regime in one of the major countries emerging from the breakup of the Soviet Union.
An election victory claimed then by Yanukovych was overturned on grounds of fraud, Yanukovych lost the rerun election in early 2005, and a succession of right-wing leaders headed pro-US governments until 2010. In that year Yanukovych made a successful political comeback, winning the presidential election with the advice and assistance of a number of American political operatives, including Paul Manafort, later campaign manager for Donald Trump. (Others who “meddled” in Ukrainian politics included Democrats like David Axelrod, Obama’s top political counselor, and Tad Devine … .)
The Maidan protests drove Yanukovych into exile in February 2014, and the faction of capitalist oligarchs aligned with him had to find new political instruments and allies. This included Mykola Zlochevsky, the cofounder of Burisma, Ukraine’s largest natural gas producers. Zlochevsky had served as ecology minister under Yanukovych and previously, as energy minister under President Leonid Kuchma (1994-2004), pushed through measures that saw him emerge as one of the richest energy capitalists in the country.
In the search for board members with the right contacts, Zlochevsky recruited Devon Archer, Biden’s business partner, the former president of Poland and ex-Stalinist Aleksander Kwaśniewski, and then Hunter Biden himself. Biden was brought on nominally to provide advice on corporate governance, although he never performed any actual legal work for the company
At the time, Joe Biden was the Obama administration point man on Ukraine, and had emphasized in public statements the importance of Ukraine building up its own gas production facilities to ease its dependence on Russian supplies—a perspective that dovetailed perfectly with Burisma, Ukraine’s largest producer of locally sourced natural gas.
The State Department declared at the time that Hunter Biden was a “private citizen”, and that his role in Ukraine had nothing to do with his father’s area of responsibility. According to the friendly account in The New Yorker, the two Bidens discussed Burisma only once, when his father told him, in December 2015, “I hope you know what you are doing”, and the son replied, “I do.”
This account is not very credible, but there does not as yet appear to be any substance to the charges by Trump & Co. that the vice president intervened to block the prosecution of his son’s company in 2016. While Burisma Holdings was nominally under investigation by the state prosecutor, the investigation did not concern Hunter Biden’s role, focusing on how Zlochevsky accumulated his fortune in the mid-2000s, and it was not active.
One telling fact is that after Shokin was fired, under US and EU pressure—with Joe Biden delivering the message to the Kyiv regime—Zlochevsky went into exile in Dubai for a number of years. He evidently was in greater fear of prosecution under Shokin’s successor, installed at Joe Biden’s insistence.
None of these facts alter the devastating political implications of the Ukraine exposure for the Biden 2020 presidential campaign.
Hunter Biden’s income from Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian company, in a five-year period, is more than an autoworker or schoolteacher in the United States makes in 15 years. It is more than a minimum-wage worker makes in a lifetime. And it is only one income stream for Biden’s son, who profits from “consulting” deals in China and in the United States as well.
So much for Joe Biden’s efforts to promote himself as “middle-class Joe” and to pretend that he has some sort of intrinsic connection to the industrial working class because he was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania and grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, where his father managed a car dealership.
Concealed behind the mutual mudslinging between the Biden and Trump camps, and now by the media frenzy over impeachment, the truth is that Hunter Biden was a child of privilege, son of a US senator, a “fortunate one” as the rock song has it. He has cashed in on that status, both financially, and, in his case, staying out of jail despite a drug abuse problem that would have sent a working-class youth to prison for life.
BIDEN ‘HASN’T ASKED’ WHAT HUNTER DID IN UKRAINE Former Vice President Joe Biden said he doesn’t know what work his son Hunter Biden did in Ukraine while serving on the board of an energy company there for five years, but noted that it didn’t matter “because I trust my son.” [HuffPost] | <urn:uuid:ec721acb-2dbf-4a18-b2c7-bb03003f3630> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://dearkitty1.wordpress.com/2019/10/01/trumps-violence-threats-biden-and-ukrainian-gas/ | 2020-04-05T01:19:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370526982.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200404231315-20200405021315-00164.warc.gz | en | 0.965627 | 3,767 |

As usual don't regard these times as gospel since this is not the official Philips Tour of Mull Rally results, but hopefully it will give you an idea of what is going on out there. On the weather front, things are still unpredictable, when it's not raining there are dry stretches of road mixed in with wet, slippy bits and puddles, definitely not for the faint-hearted, or as John Price put, "It makes the old pacemaker work a lot harder."
There is no change at the top with Duffy still leading MacKinnon but the Subaru pilot has reduced the youngster's advantage from 1 minute 15 seconds to 1 minute 3, not a lot mind you, but it shows MacKinnon is getting to grips with the Legacy. In fact he's getting real confident getting the four wheel drive machine to slide when he wants to.
Chris Griffiths has moved ahead of James MacGillivray. If anything, conditions on those last three stages were not quite as bad as the first, and Griffiths got a bit more confidence although MacGillivray hasn't given up yet, he's really enjoying the wee lightweight Corsa.
The O'Donnell twins are still going well and it's about time they got themselves a result on home territory with Price secure in 6th place for the moment. Paul Kirtley's on the move too, up from 10th after 3 stages to 7th place now, demoting Richard Thompson in the Nissan while Gordon Boyd has overcome his electrical problem to move back into the top ten despite a huge spin on that last test which punctured a tyre. Ian Wilson is currently holding 10th place but that will definitely not last, for the Opel expired on the road section to Craignure service, the rear axle wheel bearings seized solid and he's now heading for the Mishnish to console himself, that's the pub, not the beauty spot! Steve Davies is still going, although he admitted to another off at Calgary, said he "went beachcombing in the reeds" and John Cope is still just outside the top ten although he struggled to reach service. The Sierra's water pump gasket is leaking and the car overheated on the last stage but they got here by stopping regularly at puddles to try and top up the radiator.

|Abstract: ||The first cubic zinc phosphonate [tBuPO(3)Zn(2-apy)] 4 (1) whose core resembles the D4R SBU of zeolites, has been synthesised from a reaction between zinc acetate, tert- butylphosphonic acid and 2- aminopyridine at room temperature; the X- ray structure determination reveals that the molecules of 1, which crystallise in the tetragonal I4(1)/a space group with crystallographically imposed 4 symmetry, form a 3-D supramolecular assembly aided by N-(HO)-O-... hydrogen bonding.|

While there isn't certain number exactly how to many of which 70 million plus blogs make money, I would venture knowledge that more then 50 % of them do not. I would even go as far to claim that for every ten blogs that are created today, four of them will cash.

Home boy Jack White came to the rescue and saved my favorite gorgeous venue The Magnificent Masonic in DETROIT!! from auction.. It is through no fault of the current management, that these bills had not been paid... This was a sad situation when people took over management 2 years ago to "help" and ran off with the profits... and now for the GOOD NEWS!
Detroit’s historic Masonic Temple announced Tuesday, June 4, 2013, that White made a $142,000 donation to cover the delinquent tax bill for the prominent music venue that has hosted such groups as The Who and the Rolling Stones over the decades.
DETROIT (AP) — Musician Jack White has played springtime Santa, paying a $142,000 back tax bill for Detroit's historic Masonic Temple. The move prevents a threatened auction of the famed venue where The Who and the Rolling Stones once played.
Last Thursday, a then-anonymous donor paid off the famed music venue's entire 2010-2012 tax delinquency. The 14-story Masonic Temple was days away from being put up for sale. | <urn:uuid:48ea660a-2217-4cd4-bac7-3de2644fcc1c> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | http://www.retrokimmer.com/2013/06/detroit-masonic-temple-receives-boost.html | 2019-03-26T07:12:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912204857.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20190326054828-20190326080828-00543.warc.gz | en | 0.952151 | 236 |
Today I’m sharing the rest of my February projects, and these are made using a variety of kits.
This card (above) was made using the Life Pages kit only.
I told you I was really into angles this time. LOL! The large “V” shaped piece was cut from one of the Life Pages pocket inserts.
The Life Pages kits includes a really nice stamp set. It includes a few different words to pair together, plus some hearts you could use to stamp inside the one included in the “Love” part, or use on their own.
This card uses the Bits & Pieces kit and the exclusive digital print outs for February. I loved the stamp set included in this month’s Bits & Pieces kit! The clouds are very cute, and I would like to get the chance to play around with that one some more.
I watercolored a background for my clouds, which was a fun way to use this stamp. The heart gem and the enamel dots are from the Main Kit.
This next card also uses the exclusive digital files for the month of February.
I love the chevron background included in this month’s digital cut files. There are just so many possibilities with this one. I chose to use the cut out parts on my card. I have the other part saved to use on another project.
Those pretty alphabet letters, chipboard flowers, and the wood grain paper, are all from the Life Pages Themed add-on.
Again, please excuse the poor photos this time! I had to take them in less than ideal lighting conditions.
If you have any questions about any of the products or techniques I used on these cards, fire away. Have any questions on how you can start a subscription with Gossamer Blue? I’d be happy to help you with that as well. | <urn:uuid:713c92fa-9276-47c3-8431-176bd90dca40> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://sweetpapertreats.wordpress.com/2015/02/03/gossamer-blue-february-reveal-2/ | 2017-07-27T12:30:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549428257.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170727122407-20170727142407-00361.warc.gz | en | 0.965584 | 385 |
Burial of Overhead Fiber Optic Cable at Grand Coulee Radio Station

Bonneville Power Administration proposes to bury an existing overhead fiber optic cable currently strung between the Grand Coulee radio station communication building and a transmission tower on the Columbia-Grand Coulee Number 1 transmission line.

I was surprised by a recent clinical report on organic foods. I summarized the findings in the video. Sure, I thought organic foods didn’t offer any more nutrition (vitamins, minerals, fatty acids) than foods grown conventionally. I’d seen a large study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine evaluating research spanning 1966 to 2011 that didn’t cite evidence that foods were more nutritious or better for us, per se. But I did recognize that data was on the side of organics when it came to keeping our children healthy and safe–because of pesticides.
I wasn’t entirely correct.
The American Academy of Pediatrics’ clinical report found that although levels of pesticides differ on fruits and produce, the effects on the health of our children remain inconclusive for recommending organics. If money were no issue, the short answer to the question of “Should I buy organic food?” is “Yes.” But finances do clearly play a part in our decisions. Thing is, many consumers are buying organic foods: in 2010, organic foods sales were over $26 billion. And although organic foods are better for the environment and the future of farming, data doesn’t confer organic foods offer more nutrition or improved safety from bacteria. The big difference between organic and conventionally grown produce is the pesticide residuals…but current science doesn’t bear out to always recommend organic food when you’re making those grocery-aisle decisions. Especially when it comes to milk and meat.
The Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) went so far as to hold off on recommending organic infant formula or milk (no real pesticides detected and although bovine hormone levels differed, health effects didn’t). And the AAP remain fairly equivocal about organic meat and produce. But they did point out that making priorities for some organic foods may make financial sense for many of us.
What Foods Should I Buy Organic?
If you can afford it and are considering buying selective organic foods, check out the Environmental Working Group (EWG) lists. The Dirty Dozen (those foods you should try to buy organic when you can) and the Clean Fifteen (those foods you may want to save your money on and buy conventionally). The AAP recommended using these two websites when making decisions: Consumer Report’s: Fruits and Vegetable, When to Buy Organic and EWG’s Shopper’s Buide to Pesticides. The very short version:
- Buy apples, celery, lettuces, and berries organic when you can. If you aren’t going to peel it, you may want to buy organic. Buy conventionally grown fruits and veggies that have thick skins that will come off before eating (avocados, pineapples, corn, mangoes, eggplant).
- When home, use a veggies brush and wash all produce and veggies thoroughly. Then rinse again and repeat…
Until organic foods are the standard –around the world –and price differences disappear, we can make choices when and if we buy organic or not. Reality is whatever we do, the most important (and very rigorous) task for our family is the ongoing effort to provide a diet high in fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean meat and dairy. That in itself will likely always be far more important that what brand we buy or how the food was grown… | <urn:uuid:91a3b417-a440-4fd8-9633-911c32ed166a> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://seattlemamadoc.seattlechildrens.org/buy-organic-food-or-not/ | 2014-07-29T22:51:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510267876.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011747-00179-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950742 | 701 |
Although most sales professionals dread the process of cold calling to initiate new deals, cold calling services can be very effective. As a sales professional, you are familiar with the common outcomes of cold calls. Typically, the strangers you phone hang up before you can complete a sentence. Fortunately, there are ways to find success in cold calling. You can generate more sales for businesses and increase your profits as a result. The real estate industry, for instance, offers great opportunities for cold callers. As the real estate industry continues to grow, real estate agents are looking for quality cold callers to generate them leads. Successful sales professionals can offer such services and increase their profits. Continue reading to learn how to provide the best real estate cold calling services.
To provide the best cold calling services for real estate agents, establish effective opening strategies. The most successful telemarketing salespeople open calls in captivating ways. If you fail to intrigue customers from the top of the call, they will hang up before you make your pitch. The best way to open a call is with questions. Make the potential home buyer feel like you care about them. Your target may start asking you questions at the beginning of the call as well. Their questions typically revolve around your specialties, the neighborhoods you are familiar with and the houses available. They want to determine if they should spend their time on the phone with you or not. To keep them on the line and prove your worth, respond by asking them more questions about what they want in an agent, a neighborhood and a home. By implementing successful opening strategies, you will provide top-notch cold calling services for real estate agents.
Another feature that real estate agents look for in cold calling services is the ability to provide knowledgeable recommendations. Meet with the real estate agents you will be working for. Ask about the services they offer prospective home buyers. Inquire about the particular properties that they sell and the areas that they sell in. Then, discover what different types of prospective home buyers want in a property. A family of seven will not be interested in two bedroom apartments in an unsafe area. In contrast, single people usually do not want to hear about large homes with five bedrooms. As a cold calling service provider, you need to sell homes appropriately. To do so, learn the ways of real estate and offer suitable recommendations that are specific to the agents you are working for.
While scripts are helpful during cold calling, real estate agents favor sales professionals who can successfully go off-script as well. After all, potential home buyers can usually tell when calls are scripted. Many feel a lack of personal connection and choose to end the call without making an appointment with an agent. To avoid ending cold calls without enabling follow-ups, learn how to go off script when necessary. If an opportunity arises for you to connect with the stranger on the other line, take it. You can always move back to your script when the time is right. To get hired by a real estate agent, learn how to succeed unscripted.
Since real estate agents are always looking to obtain new leads, lead generation is an advantageous feature to offer in your cold calling services. Your primary role is to reach out to the prospective home buyers on your client’s database. However, if you want to prove your value to real estate agents, you need to explain how you can generate new leads off of the list they provided you with. Whether you gain insight from prospects during your cold calls or conduct research on your own, generating new leads for your clients will boost the value of your cold calling services. If you have not found previous success in this area, learn how to generate leads before conducting your first cold call.
Finally, include finished statistics in your real estate cold calling services. Many real estate businesses hire sales professionals to conduct their cold calls because they are low on time. They prefer to spend their time out on the selling field rather than inside the office trying to generate leads. One of the most time-consuming components of cold calling is keeping track of the data. In order to prove that you have made strides in the selling process, you need to record information after each call. After all, customer success management improves return on investment. Use up-to-date technology to record each call. Invest in a CRM system that connects each call to the result. If you made a call to a prospect who ended up purchasing a home from your client, you need that information. Include such data in reports for real estate agents to portray how beneficial your cold calling service work is to them.
Increase your skills and profits by learning the best ways to cold call for real estate agents. Firstly, establish effective opening strategies to keep prospects on the line. Then, gain knowledge about the industry and your clients’ real estate businesses to provide good recommendations. Learn how to go off the script to engage with potential home buyers. Generate new leads for your real estate agent clients. In addition, collect data from every call to provide agents with finished statistics. If you follow these tips, you will provide the best real estate cold calling services. | <urn:uuid:368b2319-c579-4ba7-93ba-354492006d79> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://businessfirstfamily.com/real-estate-cold-calling-services/ | 2021-03-01T13:25:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362513.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301121225-20210301151225-00585.warc.gz | en | 0.94845 | 1,036 |
Some bad relationships go beyond just not getting along, and you come out of a breakup a radically different person. Whether angry, sad, depressed, defiant, or all of the above, you might not like who you are, or might have noticed some bad habits following you out of the relationship. Maybe you just want to clean up the excess baggage from the relationship, even if it didn’t end dramatically. It’s times like these that you really want to step out and express yourself. So how do you do it?
Some turn to art or sports to vent their emotions after a breakup, but sometimes, one needs to express oneself all the time, rather than periodically. The one thing we carry with us all the time is our personal style, and expressing yourself through fashion is easy. Here are some great tips to express the new you!
One of the most common statements one can make about themselves is through one’s hair. Sometimes, a dramatic or bold change is what it takes. A brand-new look or a bold color says a lot about who you are right now or who you intend to be. However, it is just as common to make a simple, subtle change, like a minor change in color or style. New accessories can bring change without the drastic measure of a whole different cut. Your hair and face are the first things people notice about you, and can be one of the most efficient ways to express yourself!
Create your own style by finding pieces of unique jewelry that match your personality or interests. Small, inexpensive pieces like earrings, bracelets, and necklaces can express your emotions or personality in empowering ways. Or they can give you a change of scenery, bringing out parts of your personality that you didn’t know you had. Fantasy or New Age styles can give you a serene appearance, or you can adopt a rebel look with some steampunk or rocker pieces!
No matter what is hot on the runway, everyone modifies their look to their own sense of style. After a breakup is a great time for change, and this can include tweaking your personal style, or changing it entirely. Whether you want to tone it down or spice it up, altering or changing your wardrobe is an option you can explore to express yourself. Even subtle changes, like belts, shoes, or accessories, can accent your look expressively!
Sometimes, a reminder of change is personal and understated. A new perfume or fragrance can express yourself in an intimate way, and provide a powerful reminder of what you are trying to express. Aromatherapy is no joke, and a scent that resonates with you can be a powerful way to express yourself be putting you in the right frame of mind. Never underestimate what the right perfume or scented oil can do to boost your confidence and establish a new you.
Everyone is different – different styles, different tastes, and different intensities. Expressing yourself may be something you want to do loudly and proudly, or it might be a more subtle change you want to make. Breakups are a time for expressing yourself, and how you dress is a large part of how you do that too. Hopefully the above tips will help you express your personal style through fashion! | <urn:uuid:29149a3a-bc95-4558-bd66-9247cd60d8d7> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.neverlikeditanyway.com/fixit/how-to-express-yourself-through-fashion/?__cf_chl_managed_tk__=14954332848ba69dfacc7c65694912f28b44d9d8-1623096086-0-AYiQ8JabQUT1KuBGUtgvdImyJyeU6HTphkHzssLIF3DRitLbndMhWT07QKOeTQmid_jRQI8vCOpvSrfOArqcmBTBFHpmiJs6HFtdm-wZzyR1XnETptNekWtuDuvRGporAM6XzB9JOFMAL4xaAQQTTNA6DksnCr2m45o2MGHS3qPt0KcH3bhf-pnv86-BQ39-PzZqQ1Cq_18L1kIoqM_dDtp_ucWAxsYd-Lu8xhaA-yPelAkSLELwryLKmLW2WSSBeGrXkzYBTmG5Fiv0zHs6IkJ51lsjMnsSo3XCL6n2hrdEfkTW70WRQ2sRUMTqJNg6uOzpCY4mPwwI8FZbFdzTMfrF-xxRXBxJJnw5wkH4vAN8uj8-Ir-kROGAU0LWn0zEo_tpyojgHYqw7eXMkFKTQpxWRuRFBJ5ZUte4HcDyhOaBQ9mphMScuWus2Q8-sgx-2Q_fyPYL93XmDcYCiSrjVRAAOpd0F416Pensn7mz2z-a4zHSZftXx9Et5sLj3ZfATCYQxiccKM93SCWU76SDI6JE9Q2I2WFYUT-DxVmNBwU57mQ4WxUGc5Saz2Q9CwQinvnWCMHy1FikYkpgJ14TZzUL06su1tdfRVu6QmKmVGgSZfRy1hUdFwNR-9xtSmuQV2rp2P-pSLDCYYNXTarPOv3kllE1k8_mqZYHKOTsv1dU | 2022-05-20T08:36:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662531762.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20220520061824-20220520091824-00744.warc.gz | en | 0.937599 | 678 |

Section 3 of the Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010 articulates the purposes of the law, which are quite broad. The primary stated purpose is to "promote the efficiency and adaptability of the Canadian economy." Canadian Anti-Spam Law, S.C. 2010, c. 23, § 3 (Can. 2010). As a means to this end, the subsidiary goal is to regulate the use of "commercial electronic messages" (which are defined very broadly, to include not only emails but messages "sent by any means of telecommunication, including a text, sound, voice or image message"), prohibiting conduct that "discourages the use of electronic means" for carrying out commercial activities. See Canadian Anti-Spam Law, S.C. 2010, c. 23, §§ 1, 3 (Can. 2010).
Conduct that discourages the use of electronic means for carrying out electronic activities is categorized under four general headings:
- Conduct that impairs the availability, reliability, efficiency and optimal means to carry out commercial activity;
- Conduct that imposes additional costs on businesses and consumers;
- Conduct that compromises privacy and the security of confidential information; and
- Conduct that undermines Canadians' confidence in the use of electronic means for communication to carry out their commercial activities in Canada and abroad. | <urn:uuid:5b51fe46-bb7c-4524-b982-b5df48701e8a> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/inbox/canadian_anti-spam_law_legislative_purposes | 2016-12-02T20:28:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698540563.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170900-00220-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948302 | 267 |
So, now that I have decided to take my WordML skills to the next level it also affords me that chance to answer some of the questions that regularly come through my inbox.
Managing the content for the Office Developer Center site has a lot of benefits, and one of them is that I’m in the loop on a lot of questions, both internal and external. One things is clear to me: WordML is “Hot, Hot, Hot” (please name the band that wrote a song with this title. The prize is that I will respect you more for knowing about this great band).
When you save your documents in WordML format and then peek at the XML, you may find the verbosity of the XML and the number of tags a little arresting at first. That’s OK- just relax and know that there are three main workhorses for the bulk of Word markup: give me t, give me a r, give me an p! (you can download the XML schema reference for Office from our download center if you want to truly dig into the schemas). The <t> element encapsulates text. That’s it. Pure and simple. Any and all text goes between <t></t> tags. The <r> element is for runs of text. Often, it contains a bunch of <t> elements (which have all of the text). Informally said, it is a way of grouping <t> elements, applying styles to the run of text etc. The <p> element encapsulates a paragraph of text. No big news here.
Here is some text I typed in Word:
This is some text. We will look at how it gets divided up.
This is a second paragraph with bold!
Here is what the WordML markup looks like (I dropped off declarations, processing instructions, and other preamble info):
<w:t>This is some text. We will look at how it gets divided up.</w:t>
<w:t>This is a second paragraph with </w:t>
As you can see, it’s pretty straight-forward. But, why should you care? Well, think XSLT! You can create Word documents from any well-formed XML file. You can turn Word documents into another XML structure. This is a hint of what it’s all about. | <urn:uuid:e2277691-cd5b-4535-9b9d-3eb66613b56b> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://blogs.msdn.com/b/johnrdurant/archive/2004/02/11/71305.aspx | 2014-08-22T09:02:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500823333.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021343-00015-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.881669 | 498 |

Kotobukiya created a statue that the Bizarro version of Jerry Seinfeld would totally get on board with. Standing eight inches tall, this Bizarro anti-Superman statue is based on DC Comics' New 52 version of the popular villain and will be released in November of this year.
From Facebook: "A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Kotobukiya’s lineup of statues based on the superheroes and villains of DC Comics continues to grow, and the latest addition is the modern incarnation of the anti-Superman Bizarro! In the New 52 era of DC Comics Bizarro did not come from another planet or parallel dimension, but rather Lex Luthor’s laboratory where the supervillain scientist was attempting to clone the Man of Steel. The experiments did not go as planned, but when the Crime Syndicate took over the world Luthor was forced to seek an ally in the clone labeled “B-0” and subsequently called Bizarro. Though he possessed limited intelligence and a mutated form the clone had incredible superpowers, tremendous loyalty, and a noble spirit.
Bizarro joins the New 52 ARTFX+ Statue lineup with a remarkable presentation that truly captures the character’s unique traits and reflects his Frankenstein’s Monster-like origin. Bizarro’s pose is both powerful and inquisitive with the monstrous clone standing with his legs shoulder-width apart and his thick, muscled chest pushed out along with a twist to his upper body and a curious cock to his head. His metallic blue pants and red boots and belt look like they came right out of the Man of Steel’s closet, though his faded blue shirt with crudely stitched on, backwards Superman logo betrays his inferior nature. And while Bizarro has a superhero physique with rippling muscles, he also has unnatural bulging veins, ruptured skin, a misshapen skull, ash-like skin, sunken white eyes, and just a small tuft of hair on top of his head. The tragic character looks great, and the accent of the yellow flower in his outstretched hand makes this presentation perfect.
Sculpted by Ikkei Jitsukata, Bizarro stands just over 8 inches tall (1/10 scale) and like all ARTFX+ statues he has magnets in his feet for extra stability on his included display base. He may be an inferior clone but Bizarro will look great in your DC Comics ARTFX+ Statue collection and he pairs perfectly with characters like Lex Luthor, Sinestro, Black Adam, or even Superman himself!
Available November 2016.

For decades, patents have been allowing inventors and businesses the opportunity to build, create, and evolve great things. There are now nearly two million patent applications filed throughout the world every year. Many of those patents are filed in multiple countries and, therefore, need to be translated. With more than five thousand patents being created every day, companies need to find an efficient and cost-effective way to assure quality and quick turnaround.
Emmanuel Margetic (MultiLing) has identified five changes regarding the evolution of patent translation procedures. His conclusion: Change happens – development and growth are matters that all companies, not just translation companies must deal with effectively. Those that fail to do so will be left behind. For companies looking to meet their patent translation and filing needs with a cost effective, streamlined process that ensures the highest quality, translation companies with patent expertise are emerging as the most logical solution.
Do you agree with Emmanuel’s thoughts? | <urn:uuid:62e4a633-26cd-4c4f-9f65-126b9c009d31> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://www.multiling.com/tag/patent-translation/page/2 | 2020-08-12T05:49:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738878.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812053726-20200812083726-00411.warc.gz | en | 0.959798 | 190 |
Quick Diagnosis of Diabetes and Blood Pressure is Possible at Home
Diabetes and high blood pressure are two factors that play crucial roles in causing complicated health conditions among UK citizens. According to the NHS, controlling these two factors could reduce the increasing rate of serious health complications such as cardiovascular problems, arterial stiffening, blood circulation disorder, heart attack and stroke. However, the main problem with diabetes and high blood sugar is lack of symptoms until the situation becomes really serious. Due to this reason both these health conditions require early diagnosis and continuous monitoring. Thanks to scientific advancement it is possible now to purchase a diabetes test kit and a blood pressure measuring device online so that when it comes to diagnosis or monitoring of these conditions you can do that at the comfort of your home.
Diabetes is characterised by the production and presence of additional sugar in your body and a simple urine test may help you to find out whether you are in danger or not. Kits that can be purchased online are capable of making the diabetes test a simple one and a user can find out the truth about his/her condition simply by observing change of colour of the testing kit. Though diabetes may affect any human being at any stage of his/her life, this problem is found most frequently among people over the age of 40 years. An important reason behind this, as opined by experts, is that aging reduces the natural physical capacity to produce adequate insulin hormone, which is responsible for keeping blood sugar level under control. A test kit for diabetes contains three strips. You should start taking the test two hours after consuming a proper meal. You need to collect your urine sample in a dry clean container and then immerse the test area of the strip completely in the urine. If the level of your blood sugar is higher than normal, then within 90 seconds of the removal of the strip from the container, the colour will change.
Blood pressure disorder, especially high blood pressure, is an important factor in the increased risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular disease. However, the situation is completely controllable if it is diagnosed at an early stage, monitored constantly and proper medications are taken with adequate consultation from a registered physician. It is also important that you take a blood pressure test at regular intervals and determine the correct measures every time you find that the situation is becoming worse. What may help you most in this situation is a blood pressure measuring device. LabsDirect provides you with the unique opportunity to purchase the device online. This digital device is capable of providing you with accurate results about your blood pressure condition and also has the capacity to keep the past 90 records in memory, which makes it simpler for you to get an average of your blood pressure condition in the recent past.
When you purchase the blood pressure measuring device from LabsDirect, it will also contain detailed instructions so that you find it easier to use the device. However, you should make sure that before taking your measurement you are properly positioned, which means lying on your back or placing it on your arm in such a way that is properly rested. Now, you need to wrap your arm properly with the cuff and use the device as instructed in the manual. The results of the measurement would appear on the display screen of the device. If you blood pressure reading shows anything above 140/90 mm Hg, you will know that you are suffering from high blood pressure and you should provide the situation with proper medical attention without delay.

I don’t know about you, but I can tell you from my experience, my friends are what got me through the years.
As humans, we need companionship, someone to talk to, and if we don’t… well, we lose all of our humanity and we end up like Tom Hanks in Cast Away and create fictional friends. I know personally, that if I do not have someone to talk to, someone who I can tell everything that is on my mind to, I will end up making imaginary friends to compensate.
Friends are our external conscious, a way to get a second opinion on our daily situations. Whenever I am unsure about something I never hesitate to ask a friend for their opinion. We care what people think, especially our friends. I know for me, my their opinions matter and I take what they have to say to heart, because I know they are looking out for me. Friends are also our “little black book.” We tell each other our deepest darkest thoughts and secrets, and its nice to be able to share our feelings and frustrations with people who will not judge us.
Unfortunately, sometimes we have to part with our friends, but no matter what, you will never forget the times you had with those friends. The 2am hysterically crying phone calls, road trips, movies nights, sleepovers, etc.; these memories will stay with us forever.
So, you lose some friends along the way, but you also gain some crazy, fun new ones. What matters is that we are not alone in this world. Just remember, friends are there through all of our milestones, our best times ,and even our worst times. | <urn:uuid:e2fc8575-04c0-4ebb-b2e1-867d863688dc> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.utica.edu/student-blogs/the-way-of-friendship/ | 2017-04-25T10:35:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917120338.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031200-00593-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969357 | 344 |
Roberto Martinez has rubbished reports that Everton have made a bid for James McCarthy.
However, the Blues boss admits he rates the Wigan Athletic midfielder very highly.
Martinez signed 22-year-old McCarthy for Wigan in 2009 in a £1.2m transfer from Hamilton Academicals.
It was reported on Monday night that Everton had joined Newcastle United in making an offer for the Republic of Ireland international.
But Martinez knocked the story down.
“There have been no bids,” he said.
“The link is easy to understand because James is a player I signed at a young age and a player I have huge admiration for.”
Martinez also confirmed that the Goodison Park club has received no further bids from Manchester United for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines. | <urn:uuid:22010452-e85e-4752-a84f-51f68199abd3> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-boss-dismisses-claim-blues-5794284 | 2016-05-06T11:21:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461861754936.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428164234-00112-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976387 | 173 |
Article from Brooklyn Center of Independence of the Disabled
Brooklyn Center For Independence Of The Disabled has been a strong advocate of rights for people with disabilities for 60 years. Providing advocacy, information and referral and other frontline services, BCID is dedicated to guaranteeing the civil rights of people with disabilities.
One way that BCID is making a real change in Brooklyn is through its newest campaign 'Opening Doors: Enable Brooklyn.'
The Opening Doors Campaign has been promoting disability-friendly stores and businesses throughout Brooklyn, by awarding striking certificates and publicity to businesses which are taking the initiative to welcome people with disabilities into their stores.
Stores like Luke's Lobster at 237 5th Avenue. This popular seafood shack is in a building with a step to the entrance, a familiar story for many Brooklyn storefronts. Local resident Ji-Eun Kim, a wheelchair user and disability advocate, wrote to the store to make them aware that she, like many other people with disabilities, is unable to access the store, and ultimately is forced to take her business elsewhere.
In response, Luke's Lobster bought and fitted a portable ramp and plan to do the same for all of their locations. Katie Love, the project manager for Opening Doors:Enable Brooklyn said, “Luke's Lobster is a great demonstration of a store willing to be inclusive to those with mobility issues, and will see an increase in business and promotion as a result. “
The Opening Doors: Enable Brooklyn campaign has awarded over 30 certificates to qualifying stores throughout Brooklyn (look out for the window decal around town) and plans to get that number to 1,000. Katie Love says “taking part is quick, easy and very rewarding! Even if the store is limited in its access, we can give expert suggestions and ideas to help. Mainly, we want to raise awareness and celebrate our local businesses!”
There are other business on #theother5th who are doing their best to be involved. It's not always easy, due to the make-up of older buildings, but Pinot's Palette, ACME Wines and Spirits, Oyster Bar Brooklyn and O Live Brooklyn are also making their facilities as accessible as possible! | <urn:uuid:0c9e8f8b-8929-4f03-a799-9805b3ffacbb> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://allaboutfifth.blogspot.com/2016/05/bcid-congratulates-lukes-lobster-and.html | 2017-07-24T08:31:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424770.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20170724082331-20170724102331-00179.warc.gz | en | 0.96994 | 448 |

It’s been a month since I attended the Creative Time Summit in New York and I needed some time to live with the experience in order to be able to write about it. The Summit was my first time
at a professional conference. It was amazing to be surrounded by people working in and talking about social practice. I don’t know if it is because I am in St. Louis or because I am busy engaged in my own practice but I have not had many opportunities to discuss social practice with peer artists. I have my close ones and community members I discuss it with all the time, but that is not the same as conversations across place about the type of work itself.
Hearing artists from all over the world use language similar to my own was very affirming. The organizers acknowledged that many people in the audience could be presenting at the conference and, with all humility, I could imagine NODhouse fitting into the program.
I would have loved a space in the conference dedicated to peer critiquing of socially engaged projects. It is rare to get artistic feedback about the work. People are able to informally evaluate the way social practice work is functioning or not functioning in a community but conversations/critiques about how it functions as art are rare. In fact, I am not sure if we even have much of a constructed language around this in the field. There was little discussion about the aesthetics of social practice at the Summit. I think most of us think about the aesthetics of our produced works and also, maybe even more uniquely, about the aesthetics of our relationships but what does a critique of those sound like?
In our commitment to raising the voices of all the ‘others’ in the world, we can’t let go of our commitment to ourselves as artists. The work is made stronger through thoughtful critiques and discussions of the work and I find that, possibly because the ideas and communities that most of us are working in are so compelling, the artfulness of both the work and the way we are in the world is not discussed enough. Those types of conversations help to feed me as an artist.
I acknowledge that conversations around aesthetics are a challenge across cultural barriers. It comes up in my own practice where I am at the table because I am an artist but I am also at the table because I want to support the expression of others. When our individual aesthetics collide, resolving that conflict in a way that everyone feels heard is crucial. How do other artists approach this? When do we as artists feel we have been successful? How is our work viewed outside of our own communities? We are at a time in the development of social practice when we can create the framework for these conversations and their existence in the art and art historical world. I am inspired by thinking of my work as part of something larger, something that future artists and communities will build upon. I want the building of this framework to be an active, purposeful creation and perhaps, Creative Time gatherings are a place to begin the effort. | <urn:uuid:bdd05b04-6218-4cc6-a3c3-347eae8d9371> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://nodhouse.com/2013/11/29/creative-time-summit-one-month-later/ | 2017-12-15T06:17:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948567042.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20171215060102-20171215080102-00731.warc.gz | en | 0.974464 | 614 |

Temple Run was a smash hit last year, nabbing more than 40 million downloads on iOS alone. And now that the sequel lands on iOS and Android Wednesday night—it's already in the New Zealand Zpp store—the Internet is going bonkers.

The GBPUSD extended up to the swing area at 1.2453-55 (low from June 15 and high from June 19). The high today reached 1.2455 and backed off to 1.24427 before wandering back higher in the currently hourly bar. Getting above the 1.2455 is still the next upside target. Above that, and the 38.2% at 1.24689, the falling 100 hour MA at 1.24754 would be targeted.
As outlined in the earlier post, the 100 hour MA has done a good job at putting a lid on the pair since June 16 (see blue numbered circles.
Since ranges are contained, the close risk for the buyers today is the earlier high for the day at 1.2433.
Having said that, the buyers still have a lot to prove. If the price cannot get above the 38.2% or the 100 hour MA, are the buyers taking control? Maybe for the day, but not for more than that. If the buyers like the market, they need to break those levels. | <urn:uuid:a25ebe90-ad6d-4c1f-bde0-384adeb63cf9> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.gfmreview.com/forex/gbpusd-still-looks-toward-the-falling-100-hour-ma | 2020-08-08T17:21:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738015.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808165417-20200808195417-00203.warc.gz | en | 0.958394 | 219 |

WinnersSidney Crosby: It’s official. The past two seasons have cemented Crosby’s legacy among the greatest players of all time.
