Conquering the Slots Online
The great myth regarding cheating the video poker machines or beating the slots is only that: a myth. Winning at slot machines is possible, but a person must always keep in mind that the odds and statistics are not in your benefit.
This is the sad actuality of playing the slots. However, along with so many beneficial things about the particular slots-one of all of them being the jackpots, payouts, winners, and happy gamblers-there is definitely no reason the reason why you shouldn’t try your own luck and play the slots on-line.
Do not fooled by simply the con men and gimmicks claiming that you could win lots of money throughout mere minutes simply by playing the slots. There is not any set strategy or perhaps set of guidelines that will assure that you can easily win if a person buy an e book or perhaps strategy set. Back again and luck are usually not for great deals.
When you decide that you want to enjoy online slots, you should know there are always con-men on the market who want to be able to prey on your desire to find thrill and entertainment. Winning some funds is always an extra benefit, too.
The most important thing to keep in mind is typically the idea that when an individual play, you might be with the mercy of the RNG (random number generator) involving the machine. lapakslot138 Be it online slots or perhaps land based classic slots, the equipment could be the only thing determining if you are a video poker machines winner or loss. Getting a system regarding some odd quantity of dollars or paying a slots “expert” for the or her type may be some sort of quicker solution to shed your money. You’d be better with better off participating in random slots and even crossing your hands.
There is not any sure fireplace way to beat the slots. Playing along with the tips that just about all people already know in mind can support your chances or even bigger wins, although. For example , when a person play slots on-line, go ahead in addition to bet max any time you can. In case you win, you’ll get the biggest payout.
Looking to beat the video poker machines online is almost certainly just as tough as trying to beat them within a traditional on line casino. If you stroll into any gambling establishment hall and show close to, you’ll easily observe the security protects, the cameras, the particular cocktail waitresses, and just about just about every single person using an identification brand tag watching an individual and what an individual do. The difficult computer systems through the casino will monitor your actions (if they are unlawful, even more so).
Whenever you play slot machine games online or any other online casino online game, you will get that you happen to be working together with even more secure and complicated gaming software. Any time you play, you will be playing as seriously as you would certainly in the traditional online casino. Should you try to cheat or perform any illegal games with the casino online, you usually are simply cheating on your own. Likewise, you is going to be cheating yourself.
If you are playing to keep things interesting and entertainment, you may succeed. If you are playing slots on the internet for extra cash, a person will win. When, however, you happen to be playing online slots to win thousands quickly, you will reduce. Beginners luck is an additional myth and rarely safe to ride on for a very long period of moment. Play slots on the internet just for fun and by no means expect that shady will help your odds or beating the slots will be guaranteed.

Resin is a very mature product, and has not had any security reports in a long time. Here we discuss some common methods used to attack web servers, and how they are handled by Resin and how they apply to your applications.
Cross-site scripting occurs when a web-site inadvertantly includes HTML tags or scripting code that has come from an untrusted source (such as a form submit)
Cross-site scripting is primarily an application issue, not an app-server issue. An audit of your code will help you identify any areas that may be vulnerable to cross-site scripting issues.
The only case where it could be a Resin issue is for Resin's error messages, like 404 messages, and these have been carefully audited to prevent the possibilty of cross-site scripting.
For more information on cross-site scripting, the CERT advisory on the topic is a useful resource.
The main source of vulnerability is from malicious posting of request parameters by users. The following steps are a good start to protecting your site.
A potentially dangerous security problem is the inadvertant serving of .jsp files in raw form, exposing information about the underlying system.
The most significant area of concern for this with Resin is when Resin is used as a servlet runner. A raw jsp could potentially be served up by the main webserver (IIS or Apache, for example) if it does not recognize that the page should be handlecd by Resin.
Since this is a configuration issue, it should appear during your testing and not suddenly become a problem in a production environment that has not had the configuration changed.
There are also some issues regarding this with the underlying filesystem, for example a jsp name being passed in such a way that it does not match the pattern for jsp files but is recognized by the OS/filesystem as a valid filename. We have covered all of these areas that have come to our attention.
Resin establishes a session with the user by assigning an id, which is then included in subsequent requests as either a cookie or as part of the URL. It is conceivable that someone could use a packet sniffer to find the session id of a user and then make a fake request to Resin thus gaining access to the session. This can be avoided by using HTTPS.
The most common method used in DoS attacks on a server is to flood the server with useless traffic, overloading the network's capacity. A real DoS attack is best handled by a firewall or operating system. Any real DoS attack is going to try to overwhelm your TCP, so you need the OS kernel to refuse to accept packets for the offending system.
For a less extreme DoS attack, you can use com.caucho.filters.ThrottleFilter to minimize the number of concurrent requests.
In configurations that use a cluster , the ThrottleFilter should be used on the front-end server that is running the LoadBalanceFilter. If using IIS or Apache then throttling features of those servers should be used. | <urn:uuid:b348dafd-3707-46e7-b5d2-bf91be8df317> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://apl02.pmcg.ms.gov.br/resin-doc/security/malicious.xtp | 2021-10-26T21:20:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587926.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026200738-20211026230738-00640.warc.gz | en | 0.93999 | 630 |

Author Notes: It’s officially summertime now, which means it’s time to whip up some refreshing drafts. This one's currently enjoying heavy rotation at chez frenchman and me. The recipe is for one cocktail, but can easily be scaled up, if you’re serving a whole slew of people. If you can’t find key limes, sub 1/2 a small, regular lime. If you can’t find ginger syrup, you can make your own with fresh ginger, water and sugar. (Fine, fine you could also just sub a dash of ginger ale.) —Cristina Sciarra
Makes 1 cocktail
- 1 cup cubed watermelon
- 2 key limes (one juiced, one sliced as garnish)
- 1/2 ounce ginger syrup
- 1 ounce white rum
- Toss the watermelon into a blender or food processor, and blitz for a minute or two. After that you, you can run the juice through a sieve (which will ensure you have a smooth watermelon juice), or leave it a little chunky.
- Juice one of the key limes into the watermelon juice. Give it a little stir. Slice the other, thinly and crosswise, and set it aside.
- Empty some ice into a cocktail shaker. Pour the ginger syrup and the rum directly over the ice. Add the watermelon-key lime juice. Attach the cap, and give the cocktail a brisk shake, until the metal feels quite cold to the touch.
- Pour the drink out into a glass, making sure to leave the ice behind. Garnish with the remaining key lime, and enjoy cold. | <urn:uuid:82b729ac-a56b-4e2e-8496-bad499270b66> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://food52.com/recipes/18014-watermelon-ginger-cooler | 2017-03-28T00:46:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189583.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00006-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.895832 | 405 |
ok i have not read all this mammoth thread. right at the beginning someone asked me about the 18 year olds i was talking about who couldn't read. I can think of maybe three. Bear in mind that I am in the UK, where autonomous education is SO common that people are often a little apologetic about using workbooks ;-) and also that I've been around homeschooling all my life, and have known several homeschoolers very well. There was only one that I actually knew well directly, and that was growing up. He totally could not read, I promise. Another was the son of a woman I met at a camp, and he was an absolutely great kid, and she felt strongly that this was because she had never made an issue of learning to read. His social and also artistic skills were both very good. A third was the nephew of a good friend and he was kind of not the poster-child for autonomous education, because this kid really was extremely socially isolated, never saw anyone except his dad, and literally spent all his time in his room playing computer games. ( I should point out here that my friend radically unschools her kids, but she did consider this to be a big issue.)
I suppose I just think for most non-dyslexic kids, leaning to read IS a straightforward activity and absolutely not something requiring several years extreme concentration. I also kind of suspect that a lot of what decides if a child learns at 4 or 12 is actually just interest-and a big part of interest is kind of whether they have anything better to do, or another good way to get information. I think a child who gets to 18 or so, if they don't have any underlying issues, will pick up reading very fast. I'm basing that also on adults I know who've learnt to read as adults. I don't think reading is actually a complex skill set per se.
Oh and I think needing to learn to read in order to learn is a total red herring for homeschoolers. My son, who learnt properly to read at 8, is not behind in anything, believe me. Being British I physiologically am incapable of bragging about my kids, however I do know that he is ahead in maths, and he's certainly doing stuff in science, latin and other subjects using texts designed for older kids. Reading-wise he's now, i'd have thought, looking at what he's reading, ahead of his age group, and increasing the gap. This experience is SO incredibly common among homeschoolers. Our kids don't NEED to read to learn, there are SO many other ways that they can learn.
Off to read more of this huge thread
OK ETA it is SO true that not reading is not a social problem among HE'd kids. My kids don't really know who can read and who can't-only who likes books and who doesn't (and there is NO shame in listening to books rather than reading them yourself, as far as I can see). They like talking about books, and its quite an important thing among their group of friends, but they don't sit down and talk about reading itself. Why on earth would they? What has occasionally been an issue is whether a child has ANOTHER skill, eg whether they can ride a bike (homeschooled kids do seem to learn to ride stupidly early, like 3). HE'd kids are certainly not always kind, and they are at times ridiculously competitive, like all kids, but they are usually quite pragmatic and are unlikely to turn down a good conversation. My own child found not reading hard, not because anyone else was making an issue of it, but because he loved books.
ETA2 Yes the big concern I have, having been through this, is that underlying issues may not be spotted. I dunno, I don't think this is generally a huge problem among homeschoolers but I think there are red flags that reading is likely to be a problem long term, and it can be helpful to be aware of them. We don't have access to a HE friendly dyslexia assessment centre locally, or free testing, as ds would certainly have had in a school, those are the things I think could help. I do also think that kids who suffer from a recognised disability do have a right to know that they are not stupid, and that their reading problems are physiological, not a lack of application.
ETA3 round here, families who I'd say are socially isolated are mainly those with very demanding structured schedules which precludes group attendance. But the UK might be different. I live in a small city, not in a densely populated area, and within a 40 minute drive I have at least 9 groups meeting weekly. One of these is structured and two offer optional drop in activities, all except the structured group operate not to clash with unschooling ideas, iyswim.
just saw this huge thread... but i want to answer the original question, which is whether kids can "teach themselves" to read (meaning without direct instruction, as pp's defined in the course of the thread).
i'd say yes. i've seen this happen in montessori settings, where they call it an "aha moment," when the actions of being read to and playing with letters is synthesized. no one offers direct instruction, like phonics, etc. as in public school, but all of a sudden the factors line up and there is understanding and reading seems to just "happen."
also, this happened to me. i was an early reader, i actually remember the aha moment i had -- i could then read anything, newspapers, adult books, etc. i was four, and not schooled, living with my grandma, and was pretty much unschooled in that environment at that time-- i was read to a whole lot, though. i was also extremely motivated. i had a burning desire to learn to read...
so in my experience, that is the main factor involved: whether a child has the desire and motivation to read, whether that is important to the child.
otherwise, honestly, if a child is oh.. six or seven, being unschooled and hasn't learned to read, i would consider instruction, or some other sort of intervention; but too, the importance of reading to me personally is pretty high. so to answer the original question, then, i don't think that ALL kids will learn on their own, since it does depend on motivation (and ability)...
Is it getting lonely in the echo chamber yet?
hildare, thanks for your post, honestly though its BECAUSE reading is SO important to me that I think its important to wait til that aha moment. It is SO common for kids to go from non-reading to reading at and beyond grade level, and IMO this is because homeschooled kids who don't learn to read til later are still learning OTHER skills that are important to reading. Some of these, such as listening skills, could be killed, I think, by early reading in some kids. (I remember when I learnt to read that the pictures in my brain were replaced by words, and for me that was early, around 2 1/2. I'm not convinced that was a great thing)
I tried FOREVER to try to teach my oldest to read. It was AWFUL. She'd see a word like "cake" and see the c and start saying cat, car, kite? I thought it was kind of funny, because my MIL, the Patron Saint of Teaching, tried to teach her and I could hear the FRUSTRATION in my MIL's voice.
So...I just put it off. I didn't learn to read until 1st grade (at 7) and back in the day, 2nd was pretty common, too. I figured that she loved books so, eventually, we'd figure this out.
My daughter, on her 7th birthday, sat down on the couch, opened an Amelia Bedilia chapter book and read it aloud. I couldn't decide if I wanted to pee my pants or pass out. | <urn:uuid:40003c80-c8c5-4325-974a-9b40af8ba3b1> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.mothering.com/forum/439-unschooling/1332284-s-o-did-you-teach-help-your-kids-learn-read-3.html | 2015-01-26T23:09:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422121914832.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175154-00128-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98987 | 1,670 |
There are estimated to be over 1.2 billion people in India. If you were to make a photograph with a wide-angle lens you’d be likely to include dozens, and often hundreds, or thousands, of people. In a land of so much humanity it can be easy to lose the individual. This post is designed to focus on a few individual people out of the billions.
Along with the photographs this week, I’ll give a written rendition of my internal editing process of the photographs, looking at their strengths and where they could have been improved.
The Dhobi Wallah
The word dhobi comes from the Hindi word dhona, which means, to wash. This is a very common scene along the Ganges River in Varanasi, India. What I like about this photo is the strong line on the horizon and the golden color as the sun reflects on the water, including one accented sun spot near the man’s bamboo rod. I like the tension in the moment as the Dhobi Wallah prepares his windup in anticipation of beating the clothes. A vertical orientation was necessary in order to exclude a line of several other washermen. There is one potentially distracting element in the photograph in that there is the line from a anchored boat in the upper 1/3rd of the photograph on the left hand side.
The Boy in Blue
If you’ve ever been on the streets of Varanasi then you’ll know just what an unusual photograph this is. This was made in one brief moment between cycle and auto rickshaws passing, as well as people on foot, cows, etc. I like that the boy has on a blue sweater and is standing against a blue wall. What is he looking at? That question is one strength of the photograph. Had I taken a half-step to the left I could have placed his head a little more completely against the blue background, a move that might have strengthened the image. This would also be a good time to take two successive images, one showing the boy alone on the street, the next showing him surrounded by activity. Next time.
Alleyways of Varanasi
I think there is a lot to this image. It was one that I set up in advance when the noticed the poster of Shahrukh Khan, a famous Bollywood actor. I wanted to contrast the Bollywood poster with life in the alleyways of Varanasi. I can stay with this image for a while because there is a fair amount of detail to keep our attention; the woman’s basket, her clothing, her bracelets, the Bollywood poster and the tattered old rickshaw against the wall. What I don’t like is that I had not intended to have a posed shot, I was wanting to catch a more organic scene. Then this woman saw me photographing and actually posed for me without my asking. While I prefer a more neutral look, something less posed, there was a real pleasantness in our exchange and enough detail in the image for me to keep it.
Woman on the Ganges
I like that this photograph has a natural sepia-type tone. I like the sun and the empty river behind the woman. This was one time where I wondered about the advantages of using flash, as it was shot, like all the others, using only natural light. A little bit of fill flash might have brought out more detail in the woman. I’m not super happy about her expression, nor the fact that her sari is covering her right foot, but sometimes it is what it is. Overall, I liked her isolation against the Ganges River.
Pilgrim to Varanasi
This was shot using with at a 70-300mm lens at f7.1 and 1/200. I could have possibly opened the aperture further in order to blur the background a bit more, and I think that would have helped this image. Nonetheless, I think this woman stands out enough from the background and there is enough detail in her face and hands to make the image interesting. There is a challenge in shooting older individuals as their eyes are usually set back and it’s more difficult to get “catch light” in them. I think we see just enough of her eyes to make this photography usable.
I like this portrait, there’s just enough light in her eyes. She’s put on a new dress, but still has her towel tucked under her arm after her recent dip in the Ganges. The light is great, it’s natural, and it casts a nice glow. It’s rare that I crop a photograph, but I did crop this one to square because the brick in the background filled up much of the frame and it was distracting from the girl. This photo was made with a 50mm lens at f8 and 1/250. On this one too I might have benefitted from shooting at f2.8 instead. That would have given the background a little softer blur and perhaps made the girl stand out just a little bit more. I like it overall.
So there you have it, a few images from my last trip to Varanasi and some of the verbal processing as I do as I edit images.
If you’d like to join me on an upcoming trip to Varanasi, Jodhpur, and Rajasthan then you can find out more details by visiting India by Railway on the Nomadic Routes Photography webpage.Follow @nomadruss
Great shot in the alleyway. What a face.
beautiful pictures with great balance and detail:)
What beautiful photos! My favorite is actually the Woman on the Ganges. Thanks for sharing your internal editing process.
and appreciated your recent coffee post!
thanks, appreciate that!
enjoying your blog, I have also spent a lot of time in Varanasi and India..have attached a link to my blog about Ramji Sonkar who I documented for over 20 years..cheers Russell Shakespeare, Australia
Russell, it’s neat to see a long-term photographic project like this. Well done.
Having just been in India, I can really appreciate your pictures. Thank you for capturing the beauty of this exotic, frustrating and colorful land.
you described it well. i usually tell people that by the time you’ve spent two weeks in india it will “take you to the end of yourself, the end of your patience, etc.” and at the same time it is so incredible. i’m glad you enjoyed the adventure!

A PRIMARY school pupil was crowned Queen for the day as her fellow classmates celebrated the diamond anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation.
The Year 5 pupils at Golden Flatts Primary School, in the town’s Seaton Lane, have been hard at work in the classroom studying the history of Great Britain since Queen Elizabeth took the throne in 1953.
To celebrate the Queen’s Coronation anniversary, which was on June 2, staff and pupils at the school organised their own special occasion.
All of the pupils wrote letters to the school’s headteacher, Sue Sharpe, to try to persuade her to choose them as the Queen as part of the school’s commemorative event.
And after much deliberation Ellie King was announced as the pupil who would be taking the crown for the day.
After a mock Coronation service, which was conducted by the school’s very own young Archbishop, Jay I’Anson, a classroom was set aside for a street party and the youngsters celebrated in style.

The Ultra-III - Where Tradition Meets Technology
We all know that deep down, most guitarists love the classic designs and shapes. That's why Epiphone designed the new Les Paul Ultra-III with the same look and features of a traditional Les Paul but added new technology giving you a guitar that's a real Les Paul but also so much more!
Two Great Pickup Systems in One Guitar
At the heart of the new Ultra-III are two pickup systems. Powering the first are Epiphone's new ProBucker humbucking pickups patterned after Gibson's famous BurstBuckers. With authentic 18% nickel silver base and cover, Elektrisola wire, accurate bobbins, slugs and screws and sand casted Alnico-II magnets, they replicate that classic "Patent Applied For" airy tone that defined rock and roll. The second system features Shadow(tm) Germany's patented NanoMag pickup embedded discretely at the end of the fingerboard. Featuring three samarium cobalt magnets, an air coil, and active electronics, this low-impedance pickup captures all the subtle body acoustics and string harmonics. Together, you get powerful humbucker-driven rock crunch as well as shimmering acoustic-like tones and everything in-between.
One-Of-A-Kind Electrics Built-in
If you thought the Ultra-II was jam-packed with modern features, you won't believe what Epiphone has designed into the Ultra-III. Built discretely into the bridge pickup mounting ring is a full-function, chromatic tuner. Push it's ON/OFF button and sound is immediately muted when the tuner activated. Eleven color-coded LED's identify the note as well as whether it's sharp, flat or in-tune. Also, to allow quick and seamless changes between each pickup system, the Ultra-III's NanoMag Volume knob now doubles as an A/B switch. Just push it in and quickly toggle between Magnetic, NanoMag or both pickup systems with no delay and no "pop." Two additional LED's on the pickup mounting ring provide a visual indicator of which pickup system is active (Red=NanoMag; Blue-Magnetic or Red/Blue=Both).
Hook-Up Directly To Your Computer
The Ultra-III features three different outputs. By using the standard 1/4" MONO output, both the Humbuckers and NanoMag are mixed into one signal. When you plug another 1/4" cable into it's STEREO output, the Humbuckers are routed through one cable and the NanaMag the other. In this way, you can send the Humbuckers to your favorite guitar amp and the NanoMag to the PA or an acoustic guitar amp. Using the A/B switch, you can now change "on-the-fly" between the two outputs. The third output is USB. Using a USB cable (included), you can plug directly into your computer and use guitar applications such as Native Instruments GuitarRig 4LE download to play your guitar through a variety of simulated amplifiers and effects and listen through your computer speakers or headphones. GuitarRig also features a recorder, a metronome, a tuner and more.
Great Tone Woods and Hardware
While the Ultra-III is packed with technology, it still maintains the same basic specifications that made Epiphone Les Pauls the choice of so many guitarists including a solid Mahogany body with glued-in Mahogany neck and comfortable SlimTaper neck profile, a flame Maple veneer top and Rosewood fingerboard. The result is a modern guitar with that classic Les Paul tone and sustain. Like most Epiphone's, it's also equipped with Epi's patent-applied-for LockTone locking tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for increased sustain and string changing ease as well as quality Grover 16:1 machine heads for tuning accuracy and stability.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Like every Epiphone, it features their Limited Lifetime warranty backed by world famous 24/7/365 day Gibson Customer Service. If you want a versatile professional instrument designed for live performance or studio and capable of both Les Paul crunch and real acoustic-like tones, the Epiphone Ultra-III is it! Case sold separately.

By the end of the week, any bananas left in the fruit bowl are past their prime—just right for these moist bran muffins. Add a handful of dark chocolate chips to entice children to enjoy a fiber-rich treat.
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas, (2 medium)
- 1 cup buttermilk, (see Ingredient notes)
- 1 cup unprocessed wheat bran, (see Ingredient notes)
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips, (optional)
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts, (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Whisk eggs and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in bananas, buttermilk, wheat bran, oil and vanilla.
- Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients; add the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, if using. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups (they'll be quite full). Sprinkle with walnuts, if using.
- Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown and spring back when touched lightly, 15 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen edges and turn muffins out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Unprocessed wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat kernel, removed during milling. Also known as miller's bran, it can be found in the baking section. Do not substitute bran cereal in this recipe.
DIY Muffin Cups: Make your next batch of muffins or cupcakes the ultimate grab-and-go treat by lining your tin with muffin liners. No liners? No problem. Use 5-inch squares of parchment paper, coat each muffin cup with cooking spray, and push each square into the cups using a small can or bottle, pressing the paper up the sides. (It's OK if some of the paper is sticking out over the rim.) Fill each cup as directed.

Corporate espionage undermines democracy
For these big companies with pliable ethics, if they don’t win political conflicts with campaign donations or lobbying power, then they play dirty. Very dirty.
That’s the lesson of a new report on corporate espionage against nonprofit organizations, by my colleagues at Essential Information. The title of the report is Spooky Business, and it is apt.
Spooky Business is like a Canterbury Tales of corporate snoopery. The spy narratives in the report are lurid and gripping. Hiring investigators to pose as volunteers and journalists. Hacking. Wiretapping. Information warfare. Physical intrusion. Investigating the private lives of nonprofit leaders. Dumpster diving using an active duty police officer to gain access to trash receptacles. Electronic surveillance. On and on. What won’t corporations do in service of profit and power?
Many different types of nonprofit civic organizations have been targeted by corporate spies: environmental, public interest, consumer, food safety, animal rights, pesticide reform, nursing home reform, gun control and social justice.
A diverse constellation of corporations has planned or executed corporate espionage against these nonprofit civic organizations. Food companies like Kraft, Coca-Cola, Burger King, McDonald’s and Monsanto. Oil companies like Shell, BP and Chevron. Chemical companies like Dow and Sasol. Also involved are the retailers (Wal-Mart), banks (Bank of America), and, of course, the nation’s most powerful trade association: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Plenty of mercenary spooks have joined up to abet them, including former officials at the FBI, CIA, NSA, Secret Service and U.S. military. Sometimes even government contractors are part of the snooping.
In effect, big corporations have been able to hire portions of the national security apparatus, and train their tools of spycraft on the citizens groups of our nation.
This does not bode well for our democracy.
Our democracy is only as strong as the civic groups that work to preserve and protect it every day. To function effectively, these groups must be able to keep their inner workings secure from the prying eyes and snooping noses of the spies-for-hire.
Corporate espionage is a threat to individual privacy, too. As citizens, we do not relinquish our rights to privacy when we disagree with the ideas or actions of a corporation. It is especially galling that corporations should employ such unethical or illegal tactics to deprive Americans of their fundamental rights.
This is a subject with which I have some familiarity. In 1966, when I was working on auto safety, an enterprising young journalist at the New Republic wrote a story about private investigators tasked by General Motors to find “dirt” using false pretenses to interview my friends and teachers and by following me around the country. A Senate Committee, chaired by Senator Abraham Ribicoff, conducted a celebrated hearing confirming in detail General Motors’ unsavory tactics to try to silence my criticisms of unsafely designed automobiles. The uproar helped to pass the auto and highway safety laws in 1966.
The journalist’s name is James Ridgeway, and he kept at it. More than forty years later, he broke another important story — this time for Mother Jones – about Dow Chemical’s massive corporate espionage operation against Greenpeace, and other espionage activities by a private investigation firm called Beckett Brown International.
Ridgeway’s more recent articles, and the work of other journalists, make it clear that the self-regulation of private investigative and intelligence firms is a complete failure.
It’s time for law enforcement to focus some attention on such corporate spies and their flagrant invasion of privacy.
Where is the Justice Department? In France, when Électricité de France was caught spying on Greenpeace, there was an investigation and prosecutions. In Britain, Rupert Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World newspaper was ensnared in a telephone hacking scandal involving British public officials and celebrities. The Guardian newspaper excavated the story relentlessly, government investigations followed, with prosecutions ongoing. Here in the United States, the Justice Department has been silent.
How about Congress? Corporate espionage against nonprofits is an obvious topic for a congressional investigation and hearings. But, alas, Congress too has been somnolent.
How much corporate espionage against nonprofits is taking place? Without investigations, subpoenas and hearings, no one really knows. But it is likely that there is more corporate espionage than we know about, because the snooping corporations and their private investigators toil mightily to hide their dirty tricks — which are designed to intimidate and deter people from speaking out and standing up against corporate crimes, frauds and abuses. Is the little we know merely the tip of the iceberg?

VIDEO: Chapel Hill Tiger Girls Complete Perfect Regular Season
CHAPEL HILL – The Tigers capped a perfect regular season Monday night, rolling over visiting Cardinal Gibbons 46-28 to improve to a remarkable 23-0 overall.
Listen back to the game here.
The Tigers (14-0 Big Eight) controlled the tilt from the outset, building a 12-2 first quarter lead and taking a nine-point lead into intermission.
On the strength of a balanced attack, led by Catherine Romaine’s 14 points and 11 from Jamella Smith, Chapel Hill put the contest away with a 16-7 third quarter run.
Cardinal Gibbons, a dangerous team despite getting handled twice by the Tigers this season for their only conference setbacks, didn’t have a player reach double-figure scoring.
Tigers coach Sherry Norris said she wanted her team to clamp down defensively on the Crusaders.
“My team had a great defensive effort in shutting down Cardinal Gibbons,” Norris said. “We went into the game not wanting to foul them to put them at the free throw line and make them take tough shots.”
There were plenty of smiling faces from the Tigers after the game, including Smith.
“Everything about this makes me happy in how we were able to come out and win a tough game,” Smith said. “I feel good about how we’re playing heading into the playoffs.”
If the Tigers can win nine more in a row they will capture a state title that just eluded them last season in the championship contest.
Big-Eight conference tournament action begins Wednesday night at which time No. 1 seed Chapel Hill will host the No. 8 seed, which will be announced soon. The tournament championship for both the girls and the boys will be held Friday night at 5:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. respectively. You can hear both games live on WCHL and Chapelboro.com beginning with pregame coverage at 5:00 p.m.Did you see something wrong in this story, or something missing?

FORMER Heywood Labour councillor Tony Gaskell is one of the first people in England to be chosen to represent the public on a brand new national network of health forums.
He will take up his place as a volunteer member of one of the country's first PPIs (Patient and Public Involvement Forums) on 1 December - picking up where he left off as a member of the now defunct Community Health Council for this area.
CHCs throughout the country have been disbanded and replaced by PPIs and Mr Gaskell, of Ribble Grove, Summit, says he is excited at the prospect of what can be achieved by the new organisations. Already, he says, he has many ideas which he plans to put forward for the benefit of people in Heywood.
He said: "I volunteered because I found the concept so interesting. The idea of empowering patients, asking people what they want and giving them a voice is very exciting. I want to build on the work of the former CHC and help to create a better future in health for all the community."
Mr Gaskell, who served as a councillor for eight years up to last May, says that as well as helping to develop the health system itself, he has many ideas which could improve access to health for many Heywood people.
"For instance, we are soon going to have a Community Transport system up and running in Heywood and I think there are many ways that could be used to help all kinds of people, particularly the less mobile and mothers with young children, to get to hospitals and clinics when they haven't got a bus service they can use.
"Blind people could also be helped to get from A to B. There's a massive range of things that could be done to improve things for Heywood people."
Mr Gaskell said he hoped his nomination would lead to other people volunteering to join the PFIs.
The forum he will belong to covers the Heywood and Middleton area. The Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health claims the forums will give members "unprecedented powers to make checks on the standard of health services."
Mr Gaskell said: "We are all good at complaining about health services and other matters. But now we have been given to take action and fix things that are bothering us. It's a great opportunity." | <urn:uuid:48df72b2-d53f-4cf0-a170-820501658905> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/health-mission-awaits-ground-breaking-tony-1155617 | 2017-02-24T01:15:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171271.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00627-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981275 | 477 |

Love And Joy Come To You by Jennifer Moore
Christmas can be a difficult time of year for those who’ve lost loved ones. So when Lord Covington arrives home anticipating a quiet holiday with his mother, he’s not best pleased to discover his home has been invaded by three young children. On meeting their older sister Cassie, however, he discovers they are spending their first Christmas after the loss of their parents, and finds it in himself to open his home to the children - and his heart to Cassie.
This is very sweet, and Covington and Cassie did seem very well-suited to each other. Both thinking of others’ happiness before their own, they reminded me rather of Jane Bennet and Mr Bingley. Five stars for a charming romance.
A Christmas Courting by Chalon Linton
Keturah has been in love with family friend Christopher her whole life. Hearing that he is spending Christmas in London to court a lady devastates her… but then Christopher seems to be spending all his time at her house!
Keturah is very naive and honestly I had the feeling everyone in the story was laughing behind her back, which was rather cruel considering how hurt she was feeling. Three stars.
Mistletoe Memories by Jen Geigle Johnson
Compromised by an unscrupulous fortune hunter, Lady Alice's reputation is smashed to pieces. Her childhood love Patrick's return from India is months too late.
I felt so sorry for Alice and so angry with Patrick, who acted like a complete judgemental a**. I wanted her to marry someone who didn't care about her past, not have Patrick discover her innocence so he could magnanimously decide she was good enough for him after all.
This one hit too many of my hot trigger buttons. Two stars.
Second-Chance Christmas by Heidi Kimball
Taken by surprise when her lifelong best friends confesses his love and proposes, Frances declined. Now Gerard is back and possibly courting another, Frances must examine her true feelings.
Friends to lovers isn't a favorite trope of mine by any means because so often one party seems to be quilted into the relationship, but this is a really rather good take on it, with Frances just naive and astounded by Gerard's declaration. Enjoyable and well written, I'll give this story five stars.
As a collection overall, what stood out was the extreme youth and naivety of the heroines. Sweet and clean romance shouldn't necessarily mean naivety and I'd have liked to see at least one older heroine finding love here. Though there were two stories here I enjoyed, both the other two hit hot buttons and annoyed me. Overall, I'd give this three stars.

Difference between revisions of "Chesapeake Bay"
Revision as of 02:13, 8 March 2008
This article is about places around the Chesapeake Bay and concentrates on places which can be reached by a short walk from the shores of the bay and its tributaries. It also includes some information on good places to stay "on" the bay (e.g., anchorages). It is probably most useful if your mode of transport is a boat, but many of the places discussed are also reachable by less convenient wheeled conveyances.
If travelling from far away, the best way to get in is probably BWI Airport. It is close to the major ports of Baltimore and Annapolis. BWI Airport is served by many major airlines and passenger rail service via Amtrak.
The best way to access the sights mentioned in this article is to use a boat. Getting access to a boat is sometimes a bit tricky, but here are some suggestions:
Some people prefer boats powered by the wind, others perfer those powered by motors.
If you are using the aforementioned wheeled conveyance to visit these sights, there are a fine collection of roads, but only three crossing points in the 120 mile length of the bay. This makes some itineraries inconvenient. | <urn:uuid:b6f86e64-965a-49c1-969d-cd9341eb3e4e> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://wikitravel.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Chesapeake_Bay&diff=780913&oldid=408470 | 2016-07-28T23:30:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257829320.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071029-00073-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953749 | 260 |

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.
Joining Tim this time is writer Jonny Morris, who’s wondering if there is anyone else out there who recalls the BBC Micro Welcome cassette, The Dandy‘s sci-fi strip Jack Silver, non-canonical Mr. Men book Mr. Spendy, BSB’s The Carmen Ejogo Show, Andrew Sachs sitcom Dead Ernest, and Jesta Giggle by The Barron Knights. Along the way we’ll be finding out how to estimate James Bond’s ‘Biorhythms’, what the second worst ZX Spectrum game was, how many times it’s possible to say ‘Padmasambhava’ in one sentence, and why The Barron Knights should have covered T.V.O.D.. Also, we solve two mystery half-recollections live on air!
Jonny Morris is a novelist and dramatist who has worked extensively in Doctor Who spin-off media. You can find Jonny’s website here and follow him on Twitter at @jonnymorris1973. You can find out more about Dick Dixon In The 21st Century, Jonny’s crowdfunded sci-fi sitcom with music by Darrell Maclaine, here, and listen to the pilot episode here.
Buy A Book!
If you’ve enjoyed this, why not get Tim’s book Can’t Help Thinking About Me, a collection of columns and features with a personal twist. Can’t Help Thinking About Me is available in paperback here or from the Kindle Store here.
Alternately, if you’re just feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee here. I’m sure The Barron Knights would have plenty to say about how it doesn’t taste like real coffee.
Jonny made another appearance on Looks Unfamiliar talking about Galaxy Gold by Neil Norman And His Cosmic Orchestra, Battlestar Galactica action figures, the disastrous second season of Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, H.G, Wells’ The Shape Of Things To Come, Fall Out by DATA and Space Wars – Fact And Fiction; you can find it here.
In The Sofa is covered in more depth in the edition of Looks Unfamiliar with Will Maclean, which you can find here. Dead Ernest – and more compelling evidence of its astonishing levels of unfunniness – also came up in the Looks Unfamiliar Extra with Melanie Williams which you can find here.
Jonny also appears in The Best Of Looks Unfamiliar alongside James Gent, Darrell Maclaine, Paul Kirkley, Ros Ballinger, Garreth F. Hirons and Tim on Betamax Video Club talking about Absolute Beginners, which you can find here.
Mr. Spendy wasn’t the only franchise interloper around at the time, as you can find out in The Ten Most Non-Canonical Non-Canonical Cartoon Characters here.

For Museum of Negro Leagues, a Big Opportunity
KAUFFMAN STADIUM, home of the Kansas City Royals, will become the hub of Major League Baseball in July when it hosts the All-Star Game for the first time since 1973, the year it opened. And Bob Kendrick is hoping the attendant swirl of publicity will extend to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, about seven miles away at the fabled intersection of 18th and Vine Streets.
Mr. Kendrick, the museum’s president and executive director, is assembling a special exhibition at the museum this summer to draw some of the game’s expected crush of out-of-town visitors.
The museum exhibition will highlight the careers of several Negro Leagues players — Hank Aaron and Willie Mays among them — who went on to become big-league all-stars during Major League Baseball’s period of gradual racial integration between 1947 and 1959. (“What we’ve found is that they made a tremendous impact on the game right away,” Mr. Kendrick said.)...

Yost (pictured) has left Porter Novelli after five years. She initially joined to head healthcare comms before being promoted in 2018 to jointly lead the London office with Jo Patterson, who is now sole MD.
At BCW, Yost reports to Catherine Keddie, MD of health in London, with a dotted line to UK CEO Rebecca Grant.
Before joining Porter Novelli, Yost's roles included senior director at Ogilvy Healthworld and associate partner at Instinctif.
Keddie said: "Nicole arrives at a time when our healthcare business is thriving. Her significant expertise and areas of interest put us in the perfect position to build on our existing success and continue to grow and transform our services and offer to meet the evolving demands of healthcare communications. Before and throughout the COVID-19 crisis, we have been committed to investing in talent that will enable us to meet the challenges and opportunities many our clients are facing now and into the future.”
Yost said: “BCW Healthcare has established a phenomenal reputation for delivering bold creativity and digital innovation for healthcare clients, with a truly integrated offering that operates at scale. This is a fantastic opportunity to further expand the agency’s offer, at a time when clients are increasingly looking at how they can be fit for purpose and future proofed against an ever-changing environment where business and digital transformation are accelerating at a rapid rate.”
A Porter Novelli spokesperson said: “The team at Porter Novelli wish Nicole the best of luck in her new role.
"From a management point of view, nothing has changed. Jo Patterson continues as managing director in London, supported by Fenella Grey, chair. Ludivine Delattre, our recently appointed head of health in London, supported by Amber Tovey, business director, remains in charge of a growing and ambitious London health team.” | <urn:uuid:0f489d26-269f-42fe-b125-2f9b7e9f4d65> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.prweek.com/article/1684681/porter-novelli-uk-co-md-nicole-yost-joins-bcw-senior-healthcare-role | 2020-11-26T01:49:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141185851.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20201126001926-20201126031926-00687.warc.gz | en | 0.957922 | 392 |

It began in late November, as it does each year. Wine Spectator magazine unveiled wines #10-6, then #5-1 and finally their entire 2012 top 100 list of “the year’s most exciting wines”, an apt description. If previously rated quality was the only factor, we would be surrounded by the Clos des Papes Chateaunef-du-Pape 2010 (98pt/$128) and Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Family Estate 2009 (96pt/$145), both very fine, but expensive, or the highly touted wines that are nearly impossible to find. Besides, we can’t overlook price, uniqueness or our personal preference for a specific varietal. Kudos to Wine Spectator for annually undertaking this arduous task and giving us a global snapshot of the releases in 2012. One can purchase a copy of their latest issue for the complete details or read the following synopsis from someone who enjoys analyzing national, regional and varietal trends.
Without question, my major takeaway from the list is that 2012 is the “Year of Syrah.” To prove, or at least defend my moniker, nine (36%) of the top 25 wines included syrah as a single-varietal or in a blend. To be fair, France’s Southern Rhone Valley, using syrah in their mélanges, had a good year. However, included in that same top 25 were single-varietal syrah from Paso Robles, Edna Valley and the magazine’s “2012 Wine Of The Year”, Napa Valley’s Shafer “Relentless” Napa Valley 2008 (96pt/$60), a blend of mostly syrah with 18% petite sirah. Finding the #1 wine in the Napa Valley is fairly common, the fact that it was syrah, not cabernet sauvignon, is a headline. The real story here is the meticulous winemaker Elias Fernandez.
Born to an immigrant father and locally raised mother, both farm laborers, Elias Fernandez grew up in the Napa Valley vineyards before leaving to pursue a Fullbright music scholarship at the University of Nevada, Reno. Missing his roots, he eventually transferred to the UC Davis, earning a degree in winemaking studies. Since graduation, he as worked closely with the Shafer family as an assistant before becoming the winemaker in 1994. He pushed for the expansion of syrah vineyards and was relentlessly hands-on in every aspect of the wine of the year.
While we again see the Chateaunef-du-Pape region displayed throughout, the #4 Clos des Papes Chateaunef-du-Pape (98pt/$128), a former wine of the year and recurring top ten designee, stepped aside as the neighboring Gigondas appellation produced the #2 Chateau de St. Cosme Gigondas 2010 (95pt/$41) assuming stature as the top French wine. Certainly, at less than one-third the cost of its famous neighbor, this Grenache-based Rhone Valley blend was attractive to the judges. Demonstrating the global strength of syrah, the #3 Two Hands Shiraz Barossa Valley Belle’s Garden 2010 (95pt/$69), one of the best 21st Century wines, comes from the acclaimed Australian winemaker that performs miracles with the varietal.
The Reverence of Napa Valley
In a year of surprises, the Napa Valley maintained its supremacy with the Wine of the Year, two Cabernet Sauvignon, two merlot and a Carneros chardonnay, all from established vineyards. The #8 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley Reserve 2009 (94pt/$45) puts the time-honored winemaker back on the list after a long absence. Aged for 15 months in mostly new French oak, several periodicals have generated flattering reports of the wine’s texture and flavors. St. Helena’s Spottswoode Winery, long-time producer of fine quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, earned a spot on the list with the #80 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Family Estate 2009 (96pt/$145). I am very familiar with this “liquid velvet” wine that has moved into icon status within the high-end market.
The #63 Neyers Chardonnay Carneros 2010 (93pt/$29), a reliably good wine, was the sole chardonnay from the Napa Valley
and only one of two on the list.
Celebrate the French
Without fail, great wines are produced, vintage-to-vintage, in France. Twenty-two wines on the list were French and, more impressively, three of the top five and six of the top 20. Aside from the aforementioned classic wines from Bordeaux and the Rhone Valley, the list included very reasonably priced wines such as the #39 Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Alsace Les Princes Abbes 2010 (92pt/$20), with forward flavors pleasingly influenced by local volcanic soil.
Presence of the Central Coast
With the typical Northern California powerhouse regions in mind, the fact that half of the California wines on the 2012 list originated from vineyards located between northern Santa Barbara County and the Santa Cruz Mountains illustrates a shift that sees new terrior matching the standards of the old. On a more local shift, nearly all of the five Paso Robles releases on the list included syrah, a change from the typical Rhone’s and Zinfandel. The exception #72 Turley Zinfandel Paso Robles Presenti Vineyard 2010 (93pt/$35) marks a successful turn since the Turley Family purchased the old Presenti Family Vineyards years ago.
One of the highest rated wines on the roll is the #21 Saxum James Berry Vineyard Paso Robles 2009 (97/$85), making successive appearances since being named 2010 Wine of the Year. Yielding less than 1,000 cases, this acclaimed wine is rarely available. While wines like the #19 Booker Syrah Paso
Robles “Fracture” 2010 (96pt/$70) and the #76 Austin Hope Syrah Paso Robles Hope Family Vineyard 2010 (93pt/$42) have emerged onto the scene, I was delighted to see the #40 Eberle Syrah Paso Robles Steinbeck Vineyard 2010 (93pt/$24), from a well-respected, long-term eastside winemaker, gain recognition. All of his wines are worthy of your palate and the cave tour is excellent.
Good value Pinot Noir, at times an oxymoron, truly personifies three Central Coast wines that represent much of the region. Sourced from vineyards in San Luis Obispo to Gilroy, the grapes that encompass the #28 Calera Pinot Noir Central Coast Thirty-Fifth Anniversary Vintage 2010 (93pt/$24) are fermented and aged separately, then blended to age harmoniously in the bottle for nearly a year.
Located at the intersection of its namesake, the Clark and Telephone (Rd.) Vineyard is a coastal property in north Santa Barbara County, owned by Belle Glos Winery, that produces the sweet spice-driven #77 Belle Glos Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley Clark and Telephone Vineyard 2010 (93pt/$44). Located one hour north in Monterey County’s Santa Lucia Highlands, Morgan Winery
sourced grapes from notable vineyards, Garys’, Tondre Grapefield and their own Double L for the #83 Morgan Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands Twelve Clones 2010 (92pt/$32).
Two classic wines and consistent delegate’s to the list represent the Santa Cruz Mountains region, above Monterey. The #26 Mount Eden Vineyards Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains 2009 (94pt/$55) belongs in any discussion of California’s best and the historic #94 Ridge Monte Bello Santa Cruz Mountains 2009 (95pt/$150) whose early vintage was the top wine of the 2006 Reprise Paris Tasting.
Evolution of the Pacific Northwest
Nine percent of this year’s most exciting wines were produced north of California with Oregon honing their classic red grape and Washington expressing their diversity.
Oregon placed three pinot noir wines on the list, each from a different region and two wines, the #7 Shea Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Shea Vineyard
Estate 2009 (94pt/$40) and the #14 Maysara Pinot Noir McMinnville Estate Cuvee 2009 (94pt/$32), were included in the top twenty. Both wines are reasonably priced and representative of a tremendous vintage statewide. Argyle, another top pinot noir producer, once again contributed the #18 Argyle Extended Triage Willamette Valley 2002 (96pt/$70), always aged and, arguably, our country’s best sparkling wine.
Washington State contributed four different varietals, a cabernet sauvignon, merlot and rose’ from the Columbia Valley and the acclaimed #22 Cayuse Syrah Walla Walla Valley Cailloux Vineyard 2009 (96pt/$75) from their neighbor to the east.
Amidst these great wines that reflect trends of the 2012 releases is the #51 Bodega Norton Malbec-Mendoza Reserva 2010 (90pt/$18), vintages consistently available at local outlets for under $20. I enjoy this wine occasionally, receiving a bottle as a gift at least once a year. Here’s to a fantastic 2013. | <urn:uuid:fa4f6722-a125-4af0-b7db-de5921a71091> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://lifebylyle.com/tag/petite-sirah/ | 2020-09-18T11:17:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400187390.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918092913-20200918122913-00014.warc.gz | en | 0.916125 | 2,032 |
This has done the rounds of the internet several times but I can’t resist publishing it here. I have seen it before and I thought I had uploaded it to my web site but I can’t find it so here goes!
A young woman was about to finish her first year at university. Like so many others of her age, she considered herself to be very liberal and, among other liberal ideals, she was very much in favour of higher taxes to support more government programmes, in other words, redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures in which she had participated and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had harboured an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his for far too long.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programmes.
The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing at her university.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she was heading for an honours degree and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was reading for a very difficult degree and was constantly studying which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?”
She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy options. She never studies and she will barely manage a lower second. She is so popular on campus; university for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for lectures because she’s too hung over.”
Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct a grade or two from your scores and give it to your friend who only has a lower second? That way you will both have equal degrees and that would certainly be a fair and equal distribution of effort.”
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, “That’s a crazy idea. How would that be fair? I’ve worked really hard for my degree! I’ve invested a lot of time and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the conservative side of the fence.”
If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, read on!
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn’t like a TV Programme, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A liberal will delete it because he’s “offended.” | <urn:uuid:fa94c5cc-55b0-478e-ab42-ac36b45c5644> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://krmcbe.com/2012/08/10/the-liberal-fallacy/ | 2018-07-21T17:12:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676592650.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20180721164755-20180721184755-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.987093 | 860 |

If you want to get to know me, don’t judge me in rush hour traffic. The heavy-footed, horn-honking, gesture throwing person is a far cry from my normal easygoing self. Yes I can be impatient at times when not on the road, but the stress of bumper-to-bumper traffic seems to draw out all my negative qualities and magnify them times one hundred.
A similar thing happens to some of the cats at adoption shows. The stress of being out of their comfort zone, being trust into a “Oh crap, I’m going to the vet” carrier, the car ride to the store, and being placed inside a crate in the middle of a noisy, dog-barking, people-talking -loud store brings out the worst in some cats.
Poppy Seed is one of those cats. A super affectionate, playful boy, Poppy Seed turns into grumpy cat at the adoption shows. He tucks himself into a little ball at the back of the crate and hisses as people walk by.
In his foster home, Poppy Seed is a high energy cat who loves to play. He runs and chases after the laser pointer. He loves to wrestle with his foster brother Tango. He will play fetch with his toy mouse for hours.
Poppy Seed is also very sweet. He enjoys lap time and snuggles. He loves to give head-butts. He has a cute little call when he wants attention.
Poppy Seed gets along well with the cats in his foster home. He was born in March 2013, he is up-to-date on all his vaccinations, is neutered, microchipped and is litterbox trained. For more information about Poppy Seed, please visit Almost Home Foundation's website at www.almosthomefoundation.org or email email@example.com
You can also visit Poppy Seed at one of Almost Home Foundation's adoption shows. Please remember that the Poppy Seed you meet at the show will not be the same sweet cat he is at home.

England has gone back to basics with its kit for the 2014 World Cup.
England's new all-white and all-red home and away kits were unveiled on Monday. Priced at £90, the 2014 Nike kits have been designed to “focus on English football history and cultural design”.
They also come with subtle references to key moments in the country's footballing history, the company added. Most noticeable is the dropping of the black accent that was on the previous kits.
“Two references really stood out during the design process for the home kit – that stunning all-white kit England wore in Mexico in 1970 and the idea of the armour of English Knights,” said Martin Lotti, Nike Football's global design director.
“You can see subtle references to the armour in the pinstripe, which carries a hint of shine, and the white satin tape on the shoulders. We wanted to add some small detail that echoed the glow of the armour worn by St George."
Both of the kits will be worn during the Brazil 2014 World Cup. The white home kit will make its debut at home, when England take on Peru at Wembley for their World Cup warm up on May 30th.
Wayne Rooney added: "I'm always proud to put on the England kit and with these ones it'll be no different. I can't wait to get out to Brazil and play in them this summer.”

What should I say at this stage of life? This question has pained me lately as I prepare to speak at my third women’s retreat. Last week, with the deadline edging closer and closer, I panicked. I felt a sense of oppression settle over me. I don’t know what to say about this stage of my life to inspire others.
I’ve had my basic framework for the talk for awhile, but it’s the guts I’ve been struggling with. Here’s the framework: I will talk about sharing our stories for God’s glory at three levels: with God, in a small group, and in public. These are ideas I’ve developed before in former talks and this post. I believe God wants us to examine our stories to experience His working and to share His work in our lives. But after the events I shared in Ending the Pain, my motherhood story began. And oh, I am having trouble telling this story for God’s glory.
Now, if you look at my beautiful kids and beautiful life and wonder how can this be, I would just ask you to research the personality type Melancholy, and have a little compassion. Melancholy people, though perhaps not “depressed” or suicidal, have their own emotional battles to fight every day. Right now, with two small kids, no family nearby, and an imminent job change/move to we-don’t-know-where, I’m fighting lots of emotional battles. (Praise God, I’m nowhere near where I used to be emotionally, though!)
Anyway, the more I trolled my recent notebooks for inspiring mom stories, the more discouraged I became. There have been bright moments—yes. But by and large, when I search my memory and my recent writings (unpublished), I feel sad. Lonely. Still a little angry about certain aspects of my motherhood story that are too raw to share right now…except with family and close friends.
When I visited my parents in Minnesota recently, they witnessed my momming in midstream; they noted my struggles; got their hands dirty as grandparents; and gently observed some “areas for improvement.” And it was healing to be seen, to be soothed, by my own mom and dad, stepmom and stepdad as well. (We haven’t spent nearly enough time together since the kids were born). I also received a healing prayer session from a friend whom I’ve prayed for many times. That trip was a great start to some self-reflecting and praying that I really must do regarding my mom story…at some point. But now? Do I have to make sense of my mom story now, in time for the women’s retreat?
Would you believe I was actually hoping to do just that, in order to find “new material” for my latest talk? I was hoping to read through all my personal writings in the last three years since kids, examine all my negative feelings, pray a whole bunch over all of that, and come up with a tidy bow to put on the story.
What?! As I reflected on this, I realized I was contradicting the very process of healing I believe in: a process that took me years and years before I was able to bring Ending the Pain to its satisfying, inspirational conclusion.
My mom story is not done. I don’t have to share it with this audience right now, I finally realized yesterday, while heaving a big sigh of relief. As Ecclesiastes says, “There is a time to be silent and a time to speak” (Ecc. 5:7). And that’s when my oppression ended.
Who put this idea in my head, anyway? Certainly not God. Oh, friends, Satan is at work. And he especially attacks and tries to distract when we are trying to do something for God—such as speaking about Him to a large group. We are not to be surprised by the fiery trials that come from Satan when we give our lives to God; it’s part of the Christian walk (1 Pet. 4:12).
And here’s a little lesson in life for everyone, not just writers and public speakers: God is not the author of confusion. So if we are choosing to do something that brings darkness, oppression, heaviness—we have to question whether the idea really comes from God. I believe my recent speaking anxiety was a ploy of the devil to distract me from doing the work God planned in advance for me to do (Eph. 2:10).
At some point, when I am further removed from this stage of life, I need to come back, read those early mom writings, pray over them, pray with friends, and share the lessons I learn with anyone else who wants to read them. But right now, I neither have the time nor the emotional capacity to do that job: so I will concentrate on the job that God has given me right now: raising my kids and inspiring a group of women this September with the gleaming story God’s already given me. God has more work for me to do, but it doesn’t all have to get done today.
Thank you, God, for clearing my head about this, and for rebuking the devil, so I can do the work you’ve prepared for me to do at this moment. Help me take life one step at a time and not get sidetracked with tasks whose time have not yet come. | <urn:uuid:e25f40c1-0f38-42ba-a164-4e252f238a93> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://lindseygendke.com/tag/inspirational-writing/ | 2020-01-23T12:28:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250610004.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20200123101110-20200123130110-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.970674 | 1,164 |
UNFORGETTABLE TEL- KEF’S SON
Sixty-three years ago, when the Assyrians were prostate after the horrible
catastrophe they had suffered during the First World War, when the cream
of the Assyrian men and women had been massacred by Turks, Kurds, Turcomans
and Iranians, whenfew Assyrian leaders had survived the holocaust, one
of the veryfew voices raised to protect themfrom extinction was a young
manfrom a small village near Nineveh - Tel Keif - Yusuf Malek . He along
fought the newlyformed Iraqi government and the British colonialists.
And his lone efforts gave hope to the remaining Assyrians. For his
unforgettable heroic deeds, it is worthy to remember him)
Yusuf Malek was born in Baghdad, Iraq, on 28th of March 1899 and died
in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1959. His parents were from Tel Keif, one
of the villages of Nineveh.
Yusuf Malek received his education from the Latin College in Baghdad
then he attended the American College in Basrah. He held the position
of War Interpreter when the British dominated Basrah. After they
lost in Ctesiphon on their drive to Baghdad Mr. Malek returned to Kut-al-Amara
which was besieged by Turks for 143 days. He was captured by Turks
and was sentenced on 30th of April, 1916. With the help of a Christian
lady and a Turkish spy he fled in June of that year to Kuwait , a small
village on the Tigris River. From there he went to Amara which was
captured by the British.
In July 1917 he joined the British Administration and worked for the
political offices of the States (Governorates now) of Amara, Nassiriya,
Baghdad, Ramadi and Nineveh.
During the Arab revolution of 1920 he was appointed to the post of
Special Assistant to the Governor of Samarra, a position held by British
personnel in other states. The last position he held in the Government
of Iraq was "Secretary for Administration Inspector" for the State of Nineveh
which was a high position with a salary of 350 Rupees.
In a confidential letter of 16th August 1930, the Administrative Inspector
for the State of Mosul promoted Mr. Malek to the position of Mayor of Sheehan
with a salary of 450 Rupees. Two days later the Minister of Interior
sent an order transferring Mr.Malik to Nassiriya without showing any specific
Since the position Mr. Malek was promoted to was higher, his people
requested him not to leave it since that might jeopardize their jobs.
He wrote to the Government informing them that he would obey the order
of the Minister of Interior if he was given the reason behind the transfer.
The Minister was furious and he cabled the Governor and the Administrative
Inspector to enforce his order. Mr. Malek rejected the order.
The government then asked for his resignation. He replied that he
would resign on the condition that he be paid for his services of 13 years
which amounted to 3,500 Rupees plus 1,750 Rupees for 5 months of vacation.
These conditions were rejected by the government on 18th September 1930.
Mr. Malek then brought his request to the British High Commissioner
in Iraq but to no avail.
Thus he left for Beirut in April 1931. On his way he attended
the Assyrian-Kurdish Conference held in Halab (Aleppo), Syria.
In 1932 while in Beirut Malek fought vigorously through newspapers
which caused the British High Commissioner in Iraq to complain to the French
authorities in Lebanon.
Mr. Malek stayed in Beirut until the battle of August 4th and 5th of
1933 between the Assyrian militia and the Iraqi troops ended.Two days later
the French authorities asked him to leave the country. Mr. Malek
was captured at his home when the Iraqi Exterior Minister Nuri al-Saeed
Pasha flew to beirut due to the circumstances prevailing then.
The French officials, upon the complaints of the Assyrian community
in Lebanon freed him and he was able to join the Patriarch of the Assyrian
Church of the East who was exiled from Iraq to Cyprus. Malik arrived
in Cyprus on 26th August 1933 and was the guest of the Assyrian leader.
On September 28th 1933, the two leaders left Cyprus for Geneva, Switzerland,
the League of Nations and arrived there on October 4th 1933.
Malik accompanied the Assyrian Patriarch as secretary
to defend the
rights of the Assyrians. It was scheduled
that the League of Nations
was to discuss the "The Assyrian cause" on October 14 1933 allowing
two leaders only 10 days to prepare for the meeting.
They worked 18 hours each day and besides, they made several trips
to Paris and London to explain the Assyrian Cause. On September 28th
1934 Malik returned to Beirut to discover that the Assyrian cause had been
known to all.
In Beirut he worked as Editor of an Assyrian
National Newspaper (Atra-Watan) which was being supported by the Assyrian-American
He has valuable publications in English and Arabic among which is "British
Betrayal of Assyrians" a book which shook the world.
Martyr Yousif Malik was Assyro-Chaldean. He lived and died as
a noble Assyrian. The echo of his work for the Assyrians did not
die with him but will live through the ages.

You get this feeling at the end of the year…where you are forced to look back at the last 12 months and ask yourself if you have made any progress or grown. If we had a good year we will undoubtedly make that assessment and even pat ourselves on the back a few times and let those best moments of the year replay in your mind and slowly relish it. mmm…it has been a good year. but what...
Sometimes Your calling, comes in dream Sometimes...
it was an unusual feeling…the scar was undeniable but the pain was non-existent. i found myself in the same situation. same people. same words. same unspoken message. same disappointments. same history. same facts. but it was different. the same place that hurt and ached and wrenched…it wasn’t a wound anymore… it was a scar. it was a confused moment of awe, shock,...

I could probably come up with 100 reasons why Orange County is a great place to live, but I’ll stick to the top 5.
1. Orange County has a number of desirable, diverse communities.
There really is a city for anyone within Orange County. Love downtown city life? Try Santa Ana. Want something sleepy and suburban? Laguna Niguel could be your home. Craving a laid-back beach neighborhood? Visit San Clemente. Need to be in the hills, away from it all? Check out Trabuco Canyon.
2. There are all kinds of homes.
Craftsman-style cottages, hillside estates, expansive ranchers, Spanish-style abodes, modern oceanfront mansions, 1950’s beach homes, trendy condos, cozy townhomes–we’ve got it all.
3. You will never be bored.
My wife and I always say that we’re overwhelmed with the number of things to do. On any given weekend, you can try surfing or paddle boarding, see whales out on a boat, ride bike trails for miles, hike in the hills–you name it. You won’t have to go far for farmer’s markets, concerts in parks, and other community events. Plus, Orange County has some of the best restaurants in California, in addition to shopping centers like Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza, museums, theaters, and sports venues (Go Angels!).
4. The schools are great.
Orange County boasts a number of schools that are ranked 9 or 10. There are wonderful community colleges, state colleges, and universities in Orange County, too.
5. One word: Weather.
I always say the climate here has spoiled me. I’m not sure I could live anywhere else after living here. Most days are sunny, so the occasional rainy day in winter is actually nice. Most outdoor activities can be done any time of the year. That’s not true for very many places! | <urn:uuid:5cc0c89b-61a2-4079-bbcd-9816b255eb9c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://vivibenerealty.com/2014/12/ | 2017-11-18T13:35:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804965.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118132741-20171118152741-00488.warc.gz | en | 0.928959 | 416 |

The absence of microcephaly at birth does not rule out congenital Zika virus infection or Zika-related brain abnormalities in infants born to mothers exposed to Zika virus during pregnancy, according to a report released yesterday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report describes 13 infants in Brazil with congenital Zika virus infection who did not have microcephaly at birth, but later experienced slowed head growth and neurological complications. “The findings highlight the importance of recent CDC guidance on initial and continuing medical and developmental evaluations of infants with possible congenital Zika virus infection and the importance of early neuroimaging for infants who were exposed to Zika virus prenatally,” the agency said. CDC also has released a FAQ on its recently updated guidance for U.S. laboratories testing for Zika virus infection. As of Nov. 16, CDC’s ArboNET has reported 139 locally acquired cases of the mosquito-borne virus in Florida and more than 4,100 travel-associated cases in the continental United States and Hawaii. CDC recently updated its guidance for people who travel to or live in Miami Beach, because no new locally transmitted cases have been identified for 45 days in part of the area previously reporting local Zika transmission. | <urn:uuid:688a3a14-6ef9-4faf-9e6a-c677a351b9b4> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.aha.org/news/headline/2016-11-23-cdc-zika-associated-complications-possible-after-birth | 2018-11-18T01:42:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743960.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118011216-20181118033216-00520.warc.gz | en | 0.953223 | 246 |

Seafood is plentiful on the Gulf of Siam and much of the bounty finds
it's way to the US. Fresh water fish and shellfish abound in
Thailand. One of our favourites are the gorgeous huge Fresh Water Prawns
that are packed 6 in a one pound box and frozen. Before cooking the
shells are a colourful blue and orange. They resemble a small blue
They cook quickly and are so succulent and sweet. Usually these prawns
are well priced at $5.98# or less, which makes for a very affordable meal.
American fresh water prawns or the ever popular Tiger Prawns also will
work necely for this recipe, however the large Thai Fresh Water Prawns are
quite dramatic when plated on a bed of greens.

This Friday sees the Munster Reds look to push on from their close-fought opening day defeat to the Northern Knights, with bottom-of-the-table North-West Warriors coming to Cork.
Once again the Mardyke Cricket Ground is the hottest ticket on June 9th, both teams containing wise heads and some of the brightest young talent the country has to offer.
Come down and see the future stars of Irish cricket, as they battle it out for their respective provinces, where the Reds will hopefully take a big step up the table in their second of three home games.
SEA OF RED
Munster Cricket are asking for all of those coming down on Friday evening to wear red, and create a ‘Sea of Red’ to support the side in their first game at the top level.
We have seen the incredible effect this has produced for other sporting sides from the province, and we know that every single advantage counts on the field of play.
Gates will be open in the Mardyke at 4pm ahead of a 5pm start, and we encourage fans to come down early and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Mardyke, with a fully stocked bar, including confectionary and drinks for the smaller ones, serving throughout the game and into the evening.
We will also have kids cricket games going on before and during the match, to give kids their first chance to pick up a bat, or have a bowl, in a fun and safe environment. This will be supervised by the Munster Regional Development Officer Jim Doran, who has over 10 years’ experience delivering fun cricket courses to children of all ages, but parents are welcome to come and get involved!
There will be a DJ playing music ahead of the game, and scorecards on the day for all to take their own score and bring it home as a momento. There is no assigned seating at the ground, so fans are encouraged to bring their own seats, or better yet a blanket, and enjoy a scenic sunset with a picnic on the banks of the Lee.
Admission is free but we would encourage you to donate what you can to assist Munster Youth teams who take part in their own Interprovincial series' every year.
The match will begins and with hours of action going on the Mardyke offers the best value for Friday night entertainment in the city!
Please note the following:
- No one will be able to enter the stadium with alcohol or glass.
- Please do not enter the pitch area at any time and adhere to the stadium ground regulations
- There will be stewards and security on site to assist you with your enquiries on the day, and to ensure that the event runs smoothly and safely, so please respect their requests.
TRAFFIC & TRAVEL
Mardyke Walk will remain open to traffic during the game, but for health and safety reasons restrictions will be in place. Parking will not be available in the immediate vicinity of the ground, and supporters are encouraged to use alternative methods of transport if possible.
The Mardyke Cricket Ground is just a 15 minute walk from Cork’s city centre, with directions posted below. Bus Eireann city services 205 (Dir: CIT) & 208 (Dir: Bishopstown) also stop a short walk from the ground, and run regularly, see the timetables below.
If one wishes to drive there is disc parking in the residential areas around the ground, and also private parking in the St Finbarr’s Car Park on Wandesford Quay.
From Cork City:
Go westbound down Washington Street, as far as the junction with Donovan’s Road, where you will see the main gates of University College Cork. Turn right and then take the first left onto Mardyke Walk, the entrance gate is 150 yards on the right.
From Dennehy’s Cross:
Carry into the city on the Wilton Road, passing the AIB Bank on your left, and the junction with Gaol’s Cross, the road will follow to the left to Dyke Parade and take the first left onto Mardyke Walk, the entrance gate is 150 yards on the right. | <urn:uuid:4a3fa0ac-934d-4725-a89a-cb9c6d0e81eb> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.munstercricket.ie/news/reds-v-lightning-matchday-information/ | 2017-08-23T21:06:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886124563.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823210143-20170823230143-00054.warc.gz | en | 0.949182 | 865 |
Soooooo the times we HAVE 😀
It has been rather a maniac lately- but I have to say I absolutely love it. I have been lucky enough to be booked in many video shootings- tv projects and fashion shows besides everything else.
In addition to these projects and my 9-5 life- I have also gig on this upcoming Friday. I am super excited to get back to gig life as corona took the best of it for a while. When the corona outbreak happened I was fully booked all the days so this was happy news to get back on the track.
In addition to these things, my social life has been blossoming like never before. I have gone socializing- collecting so crazy good-hearted people around me. Like literally- when you discover this energetic- kind- purely good-hearted people you just kinda go like- aw- I have forgotten there is also actual people existing who treat you nice. And then your energy just goes full 360 and you feel this constant euphoria surrounding all over you. You feel lucky. Also, other animals besides human can be very rad! Speaking on animal friends on this planet- I have this and next week really important role by being a full-time cat mommy to this beautiful queen.
I have had nice two-course lunches- I have been dreaming and speaking about going to Mykonos or Italy and went to movies. I have laughed and discussed. And done some adulting too- with its all glory 😉 .
Looking all these factors it is needless to say that sleep hasn’t been booked in my calendar lately- but I don’t mind. I am really enjoying my life fully currently so I can sleep on winter time.
It is crazy how life always carries you. One moment you think all is crazy and sad and the next thing you realized how much your life has improved.
I told a bit couple of posts again about this personal healing that I was going through- and honestly, I think the journey is really close to its end.
Like of course I will never stop growing as a person- because this is who I am- but some things I have left behind. There were years and years when this mourning was really present inside of me and I was longing to old good times and I truly can say that past is past now and I see everything so much clearer now. Sometimes you just have to take the blinds off to see the sun.
I have never told you about this- but I used to have this huge grocery sized bag full of memories. Pictures- letter- toys- you name it. Everything was there. Last Sunday when I came home with love on my heart in the morning I sat on my bed and went through all of it. On this Monday me and my best friend drove off to Tallinn and lit everything in the fire. Let the bridges burn light the way.
After that I was feeling mama earth breathing and I went to bed.
On Tuesday I woke up early with my heart and shoulders lighter.
I freaking love life.
And can not wait to have my french bulldog baby to arrive home. | <urn:uuid:5a0f9528-8084-4254-a95d-0cd074afd84f> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.tarawho.fi/post/do-i-need-a-spiritual-mentor | 2023-12-09T04:11:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100800.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209040008-20231209070008-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.97949 | 647 |

April 2019 sees several changes to legislation for those who run a business. Here is a brief round up of the changes which may affect your business.
Businesses who have employees will have an increases in their costs with the a new National Living Wage rate effective from 6th April and higher pension contributions. Employees aged 25 and over must now be paid £8.21 per hour and for employees enrolled into the auto enrolment pension scheme the employers' contribution will increase to 3% of qualifying earnings.
Employees will see some benefit with a higher tax free allowance of £12,500, an increase from £11,800 in 2018-19 but this may make very little difference to their income as they will be contributing 5% of qualifying earnings to their pension.
The start of the new payroll year will see many employees receive a new tax code. Most will be the new standard tax code of 1250L but some employees will receive different ones from HMRC and it is therefore important that you implement the ones provided by HMRC.
The £3,000 employment allowance is still available to employers although there remains some restrictions. The allowance cannot be claimed by more than one connected business i.e. if two or more businesses have the same owner then only one business can claim the allowance. A business which only has one director taking a salary cannot claim the employment allowance but if there is a director plus employees the allowance can be claimed. The employment allowance cannot be claimed by an employer who only employs domestic staff but it can be claimed by an employer who employs carers or support workers.
Making Tax Digital has been on everyone's lips for the past couple of years but only now are many business realising that they need to change the way they are keeping their accounts records. Businesses with taxable turnover over the VAT threshold of £85,000 must submit their VAT returns through their accounts software for their first full VAT quarter (or month) after 1st April. This means that they must record their accounting transactions from the start of that VAT quarter (or month) on accounts software which can be used to submit their VAT return through the MTD portal. If the business has already been submitting returns through their software they will find they will no longer be able to do this and will have to sign up for Making Tax Digital and set up a new account with a different login and password.
There is plenty of information about Making Tax Digital on HMRC's website - just search for Making Tax Digital. There will be information for agents and for businesses as each one has to sign up to MTD differently. The information provided by HMRC is constantly changing as they develop the process so it is worth reviewing it from time to time until you are ready to register for MTD.
VAT registered businesses below the VAT threshold do not have to sign up to MTD - yet - but can do so if they want to. If a business is below the VAT threshold and doesn't sign up to MTD that business doesn't need to use MTD compatible software. | <urn:uuid:12d81aed-41c4-4a36-b301-d8a93863b3fe> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.sandrasilk.co.uk/article/311/new-legislation-April-2019/ | 2019-11-14T06:05:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668004.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114053752-20191114081752-00270.warc.gz | en | 0.968901 | 615 |
Corporation Street in St Helens has now re-opened to traffic near its junctions with Hall Street and Shaw Street at the Millennium Centre following a traffic incident earlier this morning.
The incident happened at around 10.30am today (Thursday).
A police spokesman said three vehicles - a Hackney taxi cab, a white Ford Fiesta and a red Citroen - were involved in the collision.
The Citroen was left on its side, trapping the driver and passengers.
Police and fire crews were dispatched to the scene, with officers closing Corporation Street at its junctions with Hall Street and Shaw Street near the Millennium Centre.
A number of people have been taken to hospital with minor injuries. | <urn:uuid:c990dc33-13f7-4313-b87f-3a367622d01b> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://www.sthelensreporter.co.uk/news/corporation-street-re-opens-after-crash-1-7490901 | 2017-07-26T22:49:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549426639.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20170726222036-20170727002036-00302.warc.gz | en | 0.979963 | 144 |
Sting ‘praises Allah’ at Bataclan reopening concert
The Bataclan concert hall in Paris was reopened last night, with a performance by Sting, only a year after Islamist Militants brutally murdered 89 people there.
The Bataclan atrocity shocked the West and rumours surfaced later of some horrific torture being inflicted on victims.
Now, we all need to get along, this is not in dispute. What is in dispute, however, is the wisdom of Sting praising Allah during his performance.
The killers a year ago were also invoking the name of Allah, believing their terror to be approved by him as they push their depraved agenda of genocide for all non-Muslims.
We cannot attribute the Bataclan massacre to ALL Muslims, to the Allah most would revere, but we cannot also ignore the fact that those committing these heinous crimes were Fundamental, Radical Islamists, but Muslim nonetheless. They shouted their praise for Allah in the same venue, as they slaughtered 89 innocents.
As is normal in UK media, they decided to omit this fact. The fact they did ignore it suggests to me that even they thought it was unwise, disrespectful and a downright insult to the many victims (some of the survivors are still in hospital, a year after the attack).
I’m sorry Sting, I was previously a fan, but your virtue-signalling effort has gone a step too far. It’s unpalatable to even the biased UK media (or perhaps they simply worried it might be unpalatable to the UK general public?).

Greatest Female Adult Entertainers
Presenting The 10 Greatest Adult Film Stars Of All Time
The AskMen Acquire team thoroughly researches & reviews the best gear, services and staples for life.
They say sex work is the world's oldest profession, and if humans had invented writing, photography and film earlier, erotica, nude pictures and porn would be the world's oldest art forms right along with it.
Yep, porn has been around longer than you’ve been alive and it’s likely to keep going long after you’re dead. It's hard to ever imagine humans not wanting to watch footage of people having sex -- or finding new technologies to improve their porn-watching experience.
Maybe one day porn stars will largely be replaced by sex bots, or perfectly photo-realistic 3D images, but in the mean time, the porn industry requires good old-fashioned human beings to make your fantasies come true.
And while it may be relatively easy to find work in the always-welcoming porn industry, not many people realize how hard a porn star has to work to stay at the top and keep her name relevant in an industry where the hottest new star will inevitably always be someone younger.
Over the years, we've gotten the chance to watch some truly gorgeous and downright sexy women star in XXX films, from the most low-budget, no script casting-call-type scenes to the most sprawling, ornate porn blockbusters that try to rival Hollywood movies in their complexity.
RELATED: How To Become A Male Porn Star, Revealed
And while every porn star is at least someone's special brand of something, there are a few women's names that get brought up over and over when discussing the true cream of the crop in the porn world. Women who are celebrities in their own right and, in some cases, shrewd businesswomen who've turned their porn stardom into a sizable revenue stream off-camera.
There's more to being a top porn star than simply how much money you've made, of course. There's also a certain ineffable aura that certain XXX stars have that just elevate them above the rest.
Frankly, the women on AskMen's Top 10 Greatest Female Adult Entertainers list aren’t just porn stars, they’re legends -- whether it’s from the way they’ve stayed relevant, invested their money, racked up awards, or managed to separate themselves from the rest of the competition.
From women like Asa Akira, who are still on the scene and likely to remain there for a long time to women like Traci Lords, who got on board early and influenced the rest on the list, these are the 10 women so many horny teens grew up watching behind closed doors when their parents weren’t around -- and will always associate with unencumbered excitement and pleasure. | <urn:uuid:82581fc4-1085-402a-a863-ffc2aeb7c420> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://ca.askmen.com/top_10/celebrity/greatest-female-adult-entertainers.html | 2017-10-20T03:29:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823630.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020025810-20171020045810-00270.warc.gz | en | 0.9374 | 593 |
Network Representation Learning with Rich Text Information / 2111
Cheng Yang, Zhiyuan Liu, Deli Zhao, Maosong Sun, Edward Chang
Representation learning has shown its effectiveness in many tasks such as image classification and text mining. Network representation learning aims at learning distributed vector representation for each vertex in a network, which is also increasingly recognized as an important aspect for network analysis. Most network representation learning methods investigate network structures for learning. In reality, network vertices contain rich information (such as text), which cannot be well applied with algorithmic frameworks of typical representation learning methods. By proving that DeepWalk, a state-of-the-art network representation method, is actually equivalent to matrix factorization (MF), we propose text-associated DeepWalk (TADW). TADW incorporates text features of vertices into network representation learning under the framework of matrix factorization. We evaluate our method and various baseline methods by applying them to the task of multi-class classification of vertices. The experimental results show that, our method outperforms other baselines on all three datasets, especially when networks are noisy and training ratio is small. | <urn:uuid:d3cad4f6-2c4f-456f-b859-df64d54cfa2a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.ijcai.org/Abstract/15/299 | 2020-07-15T18:36:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657170639.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715164155-20200715194155-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.92623 | 234 |

In January 2005, the oversight responsibility of the Post-Approval Studies Program was transferred to the Division of Epidemiology (DEPI) of the Office of Surveillance and Biometrics (OSB)/Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).
The CDRH Post-Approval Studies Program encompasses design, tracking, oversight, and review responsibilities for studies mandated as a condition of approval of a premarket approval (PMA) application, protocol development product (PDP) application, or humanitarian device exemption (HDE) application. The program helps ensure that well-designed post-approval studies (PAS) are conducted effectively and efficiently and in the least burdensome manner.
CDRH has established an automated, internal tracking system that efficiently identifies the reporting status of active PAS studies ordered since January 1, 2005 based on study timelines incorporated in study protocols and agreed upon by the CDRH and applicants. This system represents CDRH's effort to ensure that all PAS commitments are fulfilled in a timely manner.
In addition, CDRH launched this publicly available webpage to keep all stakeholders informed of the progress of each PAS. The webpage displays general information regarding each PAS, as well as the overall study status (based on protocol-driven timelines and the adequacy of the data) and the applicant's reporting status for each submission due.
The study is a controlled, prospective, single-arm, multi-center trial with newly enrolled patients.

I thought it only fair that as I spend an awful lot of my time browing this site that I stop lurking and actually introduce myself so I can say Hello and thankyou.
Im in my 30's a Mum of two girls (one almost a teenager ) Im from the UK My online name is one I've had for a very long time, and its quite a looong and relatively boring story as to how it came about - so I'll leave that for another day
I've been a vampire lover for a long time - from the time I watched Drakula via Hammer Horror and then in all its incarnations since through to lusting after Blade, and watched every episode of Buffy and Angel from the outset. Im a huge Sookie fan and have read all there is to read and seen all I can being in the UK (Have to wait til Jan to see season 4 legally ) which leads me to my Twilight addiction.
I will admit to actually completely missing all the hype of the books being written and the first movie It was only after Twilight came out on DVD and a friend of mine said she wanted to see it that I first heard of it. I went out that day and obtained all 4 books, read them in less that 2 days, watched the film and then re-read the books (all 4 of them) a further 3 times. I then looked up Stephanies website, read all the outtakes, nearly had a heart attack when I discovered midnight sun (which is my most favourite prose of the lot because I think Edwards point of view and his changes are the most complex and interesting) and then read twilight and midnight sun together a couple of times. By this time filming had just started on New Moon and I continued to internet stalk any updates/news in the twilight universe Because of my love for the Characters Ive become a massive fanfic fan, but funnily enough my fave fic stories are all AU Human!
so that me, as I say just wanted to say Hi and a big thank you for the site and all the work you put in

I’m Gina, the girl behind Desperately Seeking Gina. I embarked on this search over ten years ago when I realized that what I had been looking for (love, acceptance, purpose) wasn’t to be found in someone else, but in a closer inspection of myself. It’s been blogging and oversharing ever since. And you know what? That saying about setting something free and if it comes back to you, it’s meant to be? It really is true. That “someone else” I had so desperately sought found me through this blog and instead of the closure I so desperately wanted it blossomed into a love story that brought me to Arkansas where I live with my fiancé in a tiny cottage, in a quiet cove, on the shores of Greer’s Ferry Lake. This is where I’m meant to be and I love it.
Here you’ll find:
Creative Living-There’s an artist in me, I’m just not sure which medium is best suited for me so I try them all. I’m a paper crafter, wanna-be wedding maker, sewer, jewelry maker, and writer. I love sharing this creative endeavor-the good and the bad.
Cooking-My fiancé Thom and I love to spend time together in the kitchen. He’s teaches me to cook with my senses and I try to get him to measure properly, baking is a science after all. When dinner is done (and pictures taken in the truest blogger fashion) I’ll share the recipes and reviews here.
Daily Musings-Life is an adventure, especially when one moves 800 miles from home. After nine years of living in Arkansas I am still finding new places to explore and new people to meet. As much as I’d love to keep the tourists from moving in permanently I love being a cheerleader for this sometimes mis-understood state.
I hope you’ll take a moment to look around that you enjoy what you find. I’d love to connect and you can do so here.
Thanks for stopping by! | <urn:uuid:98080861-7191-44db-bb7a-747137e29989> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://desperatelyseekinggina.com/about-dsg/ | 2017-03-26T16:53:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189244.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00247-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941201 | 448 |
The ancient travelers and traders, who circulated back and forth over the Silk Road route between Greece and Turkey, used almonds in their commercial trading, in exchange for other expensive and desirable goods. Native almond trees, ‘Prunius dulcis,’ are found growing in Western Asia, and biblical references suggest that almond nuts have been grown in Israel since 2000 B.C. from time immemorial in the ancient land of Canaan; according to the book of Numbers in the Testament. Other references to almonds in the Bible are found in the books of Genesis, Ecclesiastes, and Jeremiah. The Old Testament Bible records the fact of Aaron’s staff blossoming and developing into edible almonds, suggested that this divine miracle expressed the approval of God to Aaron and his brother, Moses as acceptable leaders of the Israelites.
Researchers believe that the almonds available on today’s markets evolved from an ancient plant in China (Mongolia) that had a bitter kernel, much like the peach kernel. Through selective growing over the centuries, kernels appeared that demonstrated a characteristic sweet, spicy, crunchiness that U.S. almond tree growers prefer over bitterness.
In recent years, almond nuts harvested from trees in California have become an excellent product of considerable importance. The first almond trees sent to the new world to America from Spain in the mid 1700’s by Franciscan monks were planted in Spanish monasteries near Sacramento, California. Almond trees are closely related to other stone fruits, such as the cherry, peach, and plum, but it is the stone that forms the food product from the almond, but the not fleshy substance that surrounds the pit. The leaves on almond trees are dark green, much like the long narrow leaves on peach trees, a genetically and similar related tree; a closeness that has been confused by many amateur gardeners, but the edible fruit parts are entirely and unmistakably different.
The almond tree is appreciated as one of the most beautiful flowering trees known in horticulture. The almond trees begin to flower early in the spring, reliably being loaded with beautiful rosy flowers on the leafless branches of the trees.
The U.S., agricultural, almond tree authorities report that 6000 almond growers cultivate approximately 450,000 acres of almond trees, supplying all of the U.S. domestic market and 70% of the world supply and are being distributed and sold to 90 nations.
Most nut tasters and food gourmets agree that the pecan is a much more desirable nut in respect to the flavor, cost of production edge, and an available supply over almonds, but the aggressive and cooperative superior marketing promotion of the Almond Nut Association has left the bureaucratic and limp marketing strategies of the Southern Pecan Association far behind. One advantage gained by almond tree promoters is that all European and Mideastern countries grew and used almonds in their food supply for centuries, and pecan promoters have not properly distributed and advertised this American product to massive exposure and those foreign markets to the sampling of the pecan that is necessary to be successful. Pecans also offer tremendous benefits to healthy bodies since their kernels contain extreme concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids, that are so high in antioxidants, and they protect the heart by removing clogging cholesterols that interfere with blood flow in veins and arteries. The distinctive flavor and satisfying crunch of almonds make this nut a prime ingredient in candy, pies, cakes, treats for salting, toasting, and dipping in various kinds of icings. Marketable products of almonds are almond butter; which tastes like and resembles peanut butter; almond extract; an oil extracted from the nuts that is used as a potent flavoring, almond flour; used like flour in cakes and pastries, and almond paste; used in the preparation of confections and candies.
Almonds are used as a health benefit due to the cholesterol free fatty acids that reduce the risks of heart disease. Vitamin E is beneficially concentrated in almonds, which reduces the accumulation of plaque in the arteries, acting as an antioxidant—further reducing inflammation. We suggest growing your own almond trees for enjoyment, entertainment, and health benefits from eating the almonds, as well as the exercise that is spent in growing your own trees. | <urn:uuid:51492ad3-c2ee-4d32-bbae-77fe7193e070> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.tytyga.com/History-of-Almond-Trees-a/368.htm | 2020-12-06T00:55:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141753148.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20201206002041-20201206032041-00644.warc.gz | en | 0.951797 | 866 |
Of the seven charter schools from which Ball State University pulled its sponsorship over the winter, four of them will still open for business next year — two as private schools, two with new charter authorizers.
Noting this, the Indy Star‘s Scott Elliott blogs:
When their schools’ futures were in jeopardy, teachers at two of the jeopardized charter schools told StateImpact Ball State’s decision caught them by surprise and disputed the notion their schools were “failing.” Some parents told us their children felt at home in a school for the first time.
That phenomenon, known as sponsor shopping, has raised concerns that low performing charter schools can run from accountability any time they are in danger of having to answer for their poor scores just by finding a new sponsor.
There is an argument that there’s nothing wrong with what’s happening here. If someone sees potential in a school that has underperformed and is willing to make a leap of faith by taking the role of overseer either in the public or private school sector, perhaps they should be given that opportunity.
But I’m not sure that’s what legislators intended when they created the charter school law… Sponsors, some believe, should… have ultimate authority to decide whether charters have lived up to their promises. After all, nobody knows those schools better than their sponsors.
“I’m not just thinking about [my daughter's] scores in school, but I’m thinking about her safety,” Charter School of the Dunes parent Daniel Kinney told us in February, adding, “The smart kids, the kids that want to learn, they’re here [at the charter school] and they don’t have that fear factor.”
In partnering with a new authorizer, Charter School of the Dunes leaders tell The Times of Northwest Indiana they’re ready for a fresh start. | <urn:uuid:1c67f04f-b043-4922-b090-d5d9f402eb9e> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://indianapublicmedia.org/stateimpact/2013/06/13/indy-star-should-closing-charters-be-allowed-to-shop-for-new-sponsors/ | 2017-12-13T10:57:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948522999.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20171213104259-20171213124259-00432.warc.gz | en | 0.974392 | 403 |
Every man wants to be a master in the sack. Oh, you already are, you say? Well, why not master your skills with the following tips and tricks that will be sure to send your girl over the edge? As always, some of these tips will work wonders for your girl while others may still work wonders (of course) but not as much as some. Play around with all of the following and pick and choose which ones work best for giving your girl a toe curling experience.
Doggy style is a great position for you to get great access to her inner G-spot and it also gives you an amazing view! As your girl is on all fours, enter her from behind and give her some hard thrusts as you reach around and stimulate her clit by rubbing it fiercely at the same time. It's the combo that never fails!
Provide your woman with some serious pressure and penetration on her clit. Using the palm of her hand, place it directly on her clit. Vibrate and gyrate your hand until it looks like a blur from moving it so fast. Of course, you may have to switch hands, but keep it going and soon enough, your girl will be unleashing a stream of cum. The thought of this action may be a little odd, but with the size of your hand and the fast movement, the pressure is placed all over her vagina instead of just her clit. Your hand will turn into her own personal vibrator with this trick!
Bring your girl's favourite toy to bed and you'll soon see why she loves it so much. Put the vibrator on the slowest speed and playfully tease her clit for a minute or two. Up the speed and insert it into her vagina and go down on her at the same time. It'll only take literally minutes before your girl starts screaming with pure pleasure.
If you really want to make your girl explode, the perfect way to do so is by penetrating her G-Spot. This wonder spot within the vagina can sometimes seem impossible to find, so be sure to insert your fingers once she is fully aroused and reaching her peak. The G-Spot will swell and allow you to hit the target bang on!
If there's anything these tips and tricks should have taught you, it's that the G-spot and the clit will always provide a thunderous orgasm, as long as you use these tips. | <urn:uuid:1b39ab1d-8bfb-4bdd-a332-770c7ccbbd5d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.diamond-escorts.com/blog/promising-orgasms-part-two | 2023-09-22T12:29:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00240.warc.gz | en | 0.966837 | 497 |
What Makes Us Different?
We are one of the few firms that have an Enrolled Actuary (EA) and Member of the Society of Pension Actuaries (MSPA) on staff! While many firms will provide Defined Benefit (DB) Plan work, they must have an EA perform certain aspects of that work legally. This means that most firms will have an outside consultant “ghost” the work without the client necessarily being aware. While that works fine sometimes, at other times, the level of quality suffers. He belongs to an exclusive club of professionals with only about 4,000 active EAs/MSPAs in the entire country!
While getting the EA, our EA has increased his specialized knowledge in DB plans and actuarial science (helping to understand the theory and equations behind actuarial valuations). This, he feels, makes him better able to provide DB administration and valuations, especially with complex DB or DB/DC combination designs.
Complete Care Of Clients In-House
We provide a better quality service because we employ the EA who does the work completely in-house and cares (with intense passion) about the quality of the work. Our EA can officially sign Schedule SBs (the retirement actuarial schedule) in the Form 5500 series. This is a requirement for all DB plans in the country. So any DB work we perform will be kept entirely in-house helping us have better client service since clients can discuss every aspect of their returns, administration and actuarial valuations by the person who actually performed the work.
Additionally, our EA is a Circular 230 Preparer licensed before the IRS to practice as an actuary. While the IRS has deemed our returns (i.e. the Form 5500 series) as “informational” and, therefore, not requiring a Circular 230 Preparer to sign, there have been rumblings in the past to require a Circular 230 Preparer to sign these returns. As an EA, he would qualify for our firm to sign the Form 5500 series, if that would ever be a future requirement.
If you are already using another actuarial consulting company/third party administrator (TPA) (for your company or your clients as an advisor), what do we offer that is unique?
- Plans That Meet Your Goals
We highly customize plans and review plans periodically to make certain that they still meet the original goals of the business owner(s). If not, we will discuss different plan designs with the advisor(s) and client.
- Face To Face Meetings
We believe in the human element. We will meet with clients and advisors as often as you would like to discuss the plan. If you are busy then we do not need to meet, but if you would like to put a face with your services, we love meeting with the people we work with and provide service for. Oftentimes goals and thoughts will come out more in a face-to-face meeting than over the phone or e-mail, so we want to give advisors and clients the opportunity to articulate their goals and help us provide the best service we can. If you are not local, we will still try to find ways to meet, such as scheduling meetings if we are in your area or using services like Skype to facilitate a meeting.
- Fast Response
We respond to you quickly. Your questions are important to us. We will respond to your calls and e-mails within 24-48 hours during the business week (48-hours only during our busy seasons).
- No Bills For Phone Calls Or Emails
You will never be billed for extra phone calls or emails. In fact, we love educating clients and advisors further on plans to help you better understand the plan you have or (for advisors) understand what you could talk with your clients about implementing.
- Respect For Advisors
We defer to the advisor. We will not try to control the relationship with the client. If you want most communication to come through you, as the advisor, we will tailor our communication efforts that way. If, however, you would like us to deal directly with your client, then we will. Whatever you need, we will make it happen!
- Proactive, Secure Information Exchange
We strive to request information proactively. We also collect information through our easy-to-use secure file exchange, which has the same encryption as banks use. If, however, you do not like the secure file exchange, no worries! We can use regular mail, fax or e-mail as well.
- Share Revenue Proceeds
We credit our clients with revenue sharing proceeds. Most TPAs receive revenue sharing from all of the major fund houses, but not all credit those proceeds back to their clients (pocketing the proceeds instead). We feel that it is right to credit this back to our clients. If we receive revenue sharing for your account, we will credit that back towards your next invoice—always—helping your better afford your plan expenses!
- Locally and organically grown in the Pacific Northwest
We live and work in the area with offices in Mukilteo and Snoqualmie currently easily accessing King Co (Seattle/Bellevue), Snohomish Co and beyond. We’ve never purchased business so every client we have is someone we’ve actually talked with personally. | <urn:uuid:6da8c1df-a97f-49b1-b111-52579727f1c1> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | http://evergreen-retirement.com/our-differences/ | 2021-01-24T12:39:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703548716.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20210124111006-20210124141006-00708.warc.gz | en | 0.956317 | 1,097 |
Feathers and Toast Season Finale
I can’t believe we’re already here. The Season Finale of Feathers and Toast. I want to send out a huge thank you to all who have been watching and those that will watch. It truly means the world to us. This show has been a labor of love from start to finish. Our goal was to lift your spirits, give you a good laugh at Tallulah’s expense and quite possibly learn a thing or two about how to bring the fun back into the kitchen and hopefully we have done that.
We will continue bringing you Tallulah Talks Back every week while we develop and produce Season 2 so please continue to send your comments, inquiries and even recipes you’d like to see and you never know, they might just make it in to the show.
Until then, enjoy the final episode of Feathers and Toast. | <urn:uuid:d1f34ec5-2335-4fc3-8042-85b8f2e4b616> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://turtleinapartydress.com/feathers-and-toast-season-finale/ | 2018-08-20T10:32:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221216333.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180820101554-20180820121554-00340.warc.gz | en | 0.969918 | 188 |
As one of the final names released to join Australia’s first Eurovision national selection Australia Decides, Australian rock legend Ella Hooper has has been hyped as a strong contender to make her way to Tel Aviv on experience, alone.
And with that, Hooper has showcased what just experience can do – releasing her entry for Australia Decides, titled “Data Dust”.
Specifically penned for Eurovision by Sydney-based composer Alice Chance ,”Data Dust” marks a return to Ella’s rock roots of the 1990s, but for a current audience. It’s a melding of pop and rock, scattered with happy-clappy vibes that get the audience going.
Singing about the dominance of digital media, “Data Dust” is about taking a break from the devices that control our lives – looking inside ourselves rather than looking at a screen. It’s a healthy promotion of the ‘digital detox’ trend, delivered with sass and attitude. Vocally, Ella delivers with punch and gusto.

ORRIGHT!!! Here’s my news! I’m joining the line up of ‘Eurovision – Australia Decides’ on @sbs_australia – it you don’t know what that is it’s 10 Aussie artists battling it out (not really, just singing) to be picked as Aus’s actual real deal #eurovision entrant ?! I’m stoked to be among such an incredibly talented and diverse bunch of artists for this, the very first ‘Australia Decides’ and can’t wait to share my track (penned by an amazing young composer from Sydney, Alice Chance) with you all soon. What a HOOT! You just never know what’s around the corner, do ya?! Congrats to my beautiful mate @taniadoko & my new mate @alfiearcuri too! Xx And yes, I know they’re super daggy but I’m bringing rock horns back, deal with it! ??? #whatelsedoesonedowithoneshands #voteforHoops
Speaking of her Eurovision experience, Ella has told us of her dream of bringing pop-rock to the Eurovision stage:
“It’s very exciting to be involved in anything that is the first of its kind (in Australia Decides), and in recent years I have become more and more fascinated with Eurovision, so it’s perfect timing! I’m hoping to bring a bit of traditional rock ‘n’ roll energy to a bombastic performance of a meaningful pop song.”
Who is Ella Hooper?
Singer and media personality Ella Hooper has been a staple of the Australian rock scene since the 1990s, as a teenaged member of rock group Killing Heidi. She Beyonce’d out of the group in 2012, since then recording solo singles and performing across Australia regularly. Also a songwriter, she has won several ARIAs to APRA awards, both music and performance arts awards, to date.
Her latest single, “To The Bone”, was released in 2018 – so no doubt her Eurovision appearance will tie strongly with her upcoming album release, scheduled mid this year.
Australia’s finalists for Eurovision 2019 are Sheppard, Aydan, Mark Vincent, Electric Fields, Leea Nanos, Courtney Act, Kate Miller-Heidke, Alfie Arcuri, Ella Hooper and Tania Doko. Australia Decides will be presented at the Gold Coast Convention Centre on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 February. | <urn:uuid:ad1e473d-59d1-43d2-8b4a-dd04d34bcde6> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://wiwibloggs.com/2019/01/24/pop-rock-ella-hooper-returns-to-her-music-roots-in-her-australia-decides-entry-data-dust/ | 2019-02-19T03:33:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247489304.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20190219020906-20190219042906-00389.warc.gz | en | 0.923879 | 784 |

block party! - writer's block on film: a post by dan braun
Pen and a fresh sheet on a notepad. A suggestive cursor, blinking in equal parts tease, allure and longing, on a tablet or laptop screen.
Everyone who's ever presented a word – hundreds, thousands, millions of them, gradually over a lifetime – in physical form has confronted writer’s block, our efforts to battle it with our elongated tool of choice (writing implement, fingertips dangling above or nudging their corresponding home keys) obstructed for indeterminate and random amounts of time, upon each unsought visitation. Student, journalist, novelist, poet, screenwriter, playwright, regular or guest blogger: it's a beast of equal literary opportunity thwarting. Once it's been slain, however, the rewards are many – a rush of inspiration and ideas, a collective ‘Eureka!’ moment unlike any other.
Films about writer’s block have become a mini-genre unto themselves – The Shining, as my co-guest blogger Karen G. has expertly covered, perhaps being the best-known. Among some of the most notable others:
The Lost Weekend (1945) – “Don't wipe it away, Nat. Let me have my little vicious circle. You know, the circle is the perfect geometric figure. No end, no beginning.” Billy Wilder’s stark adaptation of Charles R. Jackson’s chronicle of alcohol addiction and its iniquitous clench, focusing upon the life of haunted writer Don Birnam (Ray Milland), during a four-day bender, stumbling through a despair-driven cycle of bar-to-bottle dependency along the streets of Manhattan.
Barton Fink (1991) – Penned during the struggles they experienced while writing the screenplay for Miller’s Crossing, the Coen Brothers’ darkly humored tale of the title NYC playwright (John Turturro) who, having accepted an offer to scribe a B-movie Wallace Beery wrestling picture, holes up within the surreal confines of the Hotel Earle in L.A., and finds himself cornered by a lack of creative inspiration, an increasingly bizarre set of neighbors and hotel employees (John Goodman, Steve Buscemi), and a series of unusual circumstances.
Deconstructing Harry (1997) – Woody Allen’s scabrously hilarious story of a thrice-married, pill-popping novelist Harry Block (Allen), on the verge of receiving an honorary degree from the college which expelled him decades prior, who is confronted by the people – family members, ex-friends, one-night stands – he has crossed at one point or another and who have served as unwilling inspirations for his mordacious literary works.
Wonder Boys (1999) – Director Curtis Hanson’s shamefully under-seen adaptation of Michael Chabon’s beguiling, Pittsburgh-set novel. Shaggy English professor Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas) is at multiple crossroads: separated from his wife, carrying on an affair with the university Chancellor (Frances McDormand), who also happens to be the wife of his department chairman, and stuck on the increasingly dog-eared manuscript of his second novel, with his editor (Robert Downey, Jr.) about to arrive in town.
Adaptation. (2002) – The best performances of Nicholas Cage’s career, as screenwriting brothers Charlie and Donald Kaufman (directed by Spike Jonze, and based on Charlie Kaufman’s real-life experiences in attempting to adapt Susan Orlean’s novel The Orchid Thief). While Donald – charming, slick, confident – becomes the toast of the studios, Charlie, painfully shy and borderline reclusive, finds himself increasingly mired within his task at hand, seeking advice from brusque script guru Robert McKee (Brian Cox) and Orlean herself (Meryl Streep).
Ruby Sparks (2012) – Co-directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris’ follow-up to Little Miss Sunshine. At the age of 19, Calvin Weir-Fields (Paul Dano) was the celebrated sensation of the literary world. Ten years later and struggling to regain his past glory, he creates a female character in Ruby Sparks (Zoe Kazan, the film’s screenwriter) who becomes both his literary muse and a very real person – as much a reflection of Calvin’s desired idealism as she is of his imperfections. | <urn:uuid:7d7bc1d3-2079-449e-952d-dee066c792c1> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.jdbrecords.com/2012/08/block-party-writers-block-on-film-post.html | 2021-04-20T22:23:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039491784.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20210420214346-20210421004346-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.951215 | 946 |

'You Misspeak One Time, One Place, One Word': Akin Calls Scandal 'A Little Hyperbole'
With an hour left to go for him to be able to seamlessly drop out of the race, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) went on the Sean Hannity show for the second time in as many days to confirm that he's decided not to drop out.
While acknowledging that a "hefty lineup" of lawmakers have asked him to drop out of the race, "one of the things that's involved here is a question of principle," Akin said.
Of Mitt Romney's call today for Akin to step aside in his Senate contest, Akin said, "Why couldn't he run his race and I run mine?"
"You misspeak one time, one place, one word," the congressman said. "Don't you think that this is a little hyperbole going on here?"
“If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,” Akin said on a local TV station Sunday.
"This is not about me," Akin insisted to Hannity. "Is it possible that the Republican message could be improved if we were strong?"
He added that he had just spoken with Republican vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). "He recognized I had to make a tough decision here," Akin said. "We talked about it some."
Though Ryan advised him to think about stepping aside, "he didn't tell me what to do; that's because he's a very respectful and decent guy."
"The people in Missouri chose me to get the job done," Akin said.
"They chose you before the mistake," Hannity interjected.
"Yeah, that's true," the congressman muttered.
"Each of us has to look in our heart; we have to try to do what's right," Akin added. "My decision is to stay in this race ... to make sure that the government is a servant and not the master."
After Akin hung up, Hannity declared, "The happiest person in this interview is going to be Claire McCaskill." | <urn:uuid:0cc920c9-dec2-4586-907f-a288c63edcf1> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://pjmedia.com/blog/you-misspeak-one-time-one-place-one-word-akin-calls-scandal-a-little-hyperbole | 2017-05-24T06:17:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607802.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524055048-20170524075048-00259.warc.gz | en | 0.983213 | 444 |

Chicken strips from 2007
September 24, 2011
Okay, okay. Today I am posting this Chicken Strips comic which appeared in Blammo #1 in 2007. It’s stupid I know. Chicken strips is always dumb. I always think about how I spelled Britney Spears name wrong while making a dumb joke in this and didn’t realize until a year after this had been out.
Here’s something really great! 2D Cloud boutique comics publisher is putting together these anthologies and they need your help to get this first one out! It looks like it’s going to be great and I’m already a fan of both of these people! Could you help?!

If tears could be recycled into energy, I could have lit up half the planet over the past two days. I have had non-stop waterworks Tuesday and Wednesday. I mean, I always have a little tear here and there, but usually I keep it in check and my grieving does not hang on me like an addict and his monkey, know what I mean?
I have a sneaky suspicion that it is an early Valentines Day wave of sadness.
I mean, I cannot go anywhere without seeing red hearts and flowers and balloons and cards and candy and stuffed animals and lingerie and perfume and jewelry and champagne and wine and
It comes in email-reminders from the florist, in your MSN calendar, in ads on TV and radio and print. I used to revel in the holiday. I would bake and make cards and put silly notes in your lunch and we'd do all kinds of fun stuff.
Now the day seems cruel by its very existance.
I managed to buy the kids cards two weeks ago. I didn't loose my mind this time and buy you one like I did at Christmas; surely this is a step in the right direction-woman crazed with grief is a bit less crazy now, non?
I kinda know how this thing called grief operates within me.
I get a bit slack with the housework (it's not yet a going-on-Oprah-kind of pigstye, though, don't fret) and I get very wistful for what was and what will never be.
I write/blog a bit and slog through some bad TV, walk the dogs and eat peanut butter snadwiches for dinner. I take a shower and go to bed early, happy for the relief that sleep brings.
Eventually "the day" arrives, it leaves, and I pick up the pieces. I always go on, even though I find it pointless some days, because I do have that tiniest bit of optimism that something good is around the corner.
So now the day I wait for is a day celebrated for its ties, however loose they may be, to love.
I still love you with all my heart. I like to think that wherever you are, you still feel the same about me. I try and trick myself into thinking that we are just separated by a man made invention-time. Joan Dideon coined the term "magical thinking" in reagrd to her late hubby,and now I truly understand what she meant by it. | <urn:uuid:5f3c15e0-57ff-4064-baa5-51feeb96854f> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://deardazzy.blogspot.com/2008/02/crying.html | 2018-01-18T13:41:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084887414.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20180118131245-20180118151245-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.978038 | 518 |

US Dental Trends Suggest Crowns Aren’t Being Used to Their Full Potential
Dental crowns are an effective treatment to cover and replace damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. However, dental crowns serve other purposes as well, with some treatments considered more preventative than cosmetic.
Recent trends in single dental crown treatments suggest that dentists may not be using dental crowns to their full potential. While a tooth may not be showing any obvious symptoms of decay or damage, there are times when a dental crown could prevent future problems, treatments, and patient discomfort.
A study on the average number of single dental crowns placed by US dentists suggests a decline in the frequency of this treatment. Ruling out an increase in healthy eating and oral hygiene habits amongst Americans, it seems fewer dentists have recommended this dental treatment overall since 2010.
An analysis of the study’s findings concludes that dentists are not recommending this treatment when they could be, especially if the patient isn’t showing any obvious symptoms or need for a dental crown. While no symptoms may seem like reasonable grounds for not having this treatment, a dental crown can do more good for asymptomatic dental problems and prevent future costly treatments.
Symptomatic Dental Issues
Dental crown placements typically restore and improve the appearance of teeth that are symptomatic, showing obvious signs of damage, decay, or deterioration. Dental crowns are most commonly used to repair or restore:
- Damaged, chipped, or cracked teeth;
- Part of the tooth is missing;
- A whole tooth is missing;
- Severely decayed teeth; and,
- Discoloured teeth.
Asymptomatic Dental Issues
As mentioned before, dentists may not be recommending dental crowns for asymptomatic issues. They might suspect a future problem, and thus hold off on recommending a crown. For example, if there is a high chance for future tooth decay but no current symptoms, a crown could prevent this decay from ever occurring. Dental crown placements strengthen teeth as a durable dental restoration. They prevent future decay, deterioration, and possible discomfort from tooth pain and sensitivity.
Why dentists in the US aren’t recommending dental crowns more often is up for debate. Maybe they’re trying to save their patients money, or maybe they don’t see it as necessary. But as professionals, dentists should recommend the best treatment option. If they can save a patient’s tooth from further problems, pain, and additional costs in the future, then make the recommendation. | <urn:uuid:2d183788-5f83-46aa-8316-5db221c52870> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://www.yazdanidental.ca/restorations/trends-dental-crown-placement/ | 2018-10-16T11:15:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583510749.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20181016093012-20181016114512-00054.warc.gz | en | 0.928318 | 536 |

Earlier this week, Olympic soccer star Megan Rapinoe told the world that she was gay. Now she’s urging other athletes to do the same.
“I feel like sports in general are still homophobic, in the sense that not a lot of people are out. I feel everyone is really craving [for] people to come out. People want — they need — to see that there are people like me playing soccer for the good ol’ U.S. of A.”
Rapinoe was a vital part of the USA’s Women’s Soccer Team’s trip to the World Cup last year and is expected to be a major factor in this year’s Olympics.
“And I still am totally obsessed with the Olympics — I love it, everything around it,… to have the opportunity to be a part of that, to represent your country is just amazing. It’s pretty amazing to have one of your childhood dreams come true.”
Do you think the sports world is homophobic? Will Megan Rapinoe inspire other athletes to come out of the closet?
Rapinoe isn’t the only gay celebrity leading the way in her profession. Singer Frank Ocean recently came out of the closet, admitting that he was sexually attracted to men. Ocean, who is part of the group Odd Future, is regarded as the first hip-hop star to come out of the closet. | <urn:uuid:0c539071-4b25-4994-a595-afc3520405d9> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.inquisitr.com/271382/megan-rapinoe-the-world-needs-more-gay-athletes/ | 2014-11-28T08:47:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931009900.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155649-00068-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971886 | 297 |
Mexico battles Brazil to 0-0 tie
FORTALEZA, Brazil (AP) — Goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa made a series of outstanding saves to help Mexico hold Brazil to a pulsating 0-0 draw at the World Cup on Tuesday.
The result leaves both teams with four points each after two games in Group A, ahead of their decisive final matches.
Croatia and Cameroon meet today for their second games after both opened with defeats.
Ochoa's first remarkable save prevented Neymar from scoring in the 26th minute. The Brazil striker's powerful header looked set to fly just inside the post when the goalkeeper dived to his right to push the ball wide.
Ochoa also made three other difficult saves to keep the hosts from breaking the deadlock.
Belgium 2, Algeria 1: Belgium opened its World Cup campaign with a comeback win over Algeria, relying on second-half goals from two substitutes after a tense start in Group H.
Algeria opened the scoring with a penalty in the 25th minute and the surprising lead stood for 45 minutes until Marouane Fellaini's strong glancing header, with his back to goal, from a Kevin De Bruyne cross.
Russia 1, South Korea 1: Alexander Kerzhakov scored with one of his first touches after coming on as a substitute to earn Russia a draw with South Korea in a World Cup match marked by the first big goalkeeping error of the tournament.
Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev spilled Lee Keun-ho's speculative shot into his own net to gift South Korea a 68th-minute lead at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba in Group H. But Kerzhakov bailed his teammate out.

The Metropolitan Police Computer Crime Unit (CCU) is to lose another member of its staff to Microsoft.
Detective constable Andy Cookson will follow recently departed detective sargeant Steve Santorelli to Redmond to take up a post with the software firm.
The move is the latest in a series of moves from global computer crime units to the private sector. But police at the CCU have said they do not expect the exodus to affect investigative work.
"There are lots of people wanting to join the CCU," said detective inspector Chris Simpson of the CCU. "We have a list of seasoned, experienced cops and people from outside the force lined up."
Cookson leaves days after the CCU received the SC Editor's Award at a ceremony in London.
In a recent interview with SC magazine an industry expert lamented the fact experienced policeman are being dragged toward the public sector.
"It's a shame, but the financial incentives are often better," said Mikko Hypponen, director of antivirus research at Finnish antivirus company F-Secure. "It's a tough job for those guys, but they are very skilled, so the money is there for them to move."
Speaking to SC at the recent Infosecurity Europe conference in London one computer crime professional indicated that it may not be financial incentives that lead detectives away to the private sector.
"Actually, the pay is comparable, it's not the only reason," he said. | <urn:uuid:17f3621f-fdd7-4dfe-b000-8435d24c01d4> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.scmagazine.com/cookson-joins-ccu-exodus-to-microsoft/article/550335/ | 2017-10-18T11:25:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822930.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018104813-20171018124813-00373.warc.gz | en | 0.962238 | 298 |
The Cloud Mountain Foundation is a New York-based private foundation. Cloud Mountain shares little information about itself publicly and has only two staff member, but its financial filings indicate that the foundation supports political and environmental organizations that oppose agricultural biotechnology.
The Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), a political activist group that has received over $500,000 from Cloud Mountain since 2012, works closely with organic-industry groups to challenge the scientific consensus around GMO crop safety, including the Organic Consumers Association (OCA). Jill Richardson, a policy advisor to OCA, is also a contributor to Source Watch, a wiki site published by CMD that tracks conservative activists who “manipulate public opinion on behalf of corporations ….”
OCA provided the initial funding to establish the anti-GMO group U.S. Right to Know (USRTK). USRTK works alongside law firms suing Bayer, alleging the chemical company’s herbicide Roundup causes cancer. USRTK archived internal company documents called the “Monsanto Papers” (Bayer owns Monsanto) which prove, USRTK claims, that Monsanto knew for years that Roundup is carcinogenic. Lisa Graves, CMD’s founder, also sits on USRTK’s board of directors.
Cloud Mountain has donated $50,000 to Food and Water Watch, an environmental group that lobbies the USDA to end field trials of GMO crops. Food and Water Watch says “the generous support from the Park Foundation, the 11th Hour Project, Tides Foundation …. and the Cloud Mountain Foundation” makes it possible to “fight back against the seemingly unlimited funds of the agribusiness industry.” In total, Cloud Mountain has given more than $4 million to Food and Water Watch, CMD and related anti-GMO groups.

'The City' is coming back on April 27! Watch the trailer of season 2 here. I am so excited!
Here is a little list i found on refinery29.com about Olivia's five favorite spots in NYC:
1. Roberta Freymann: "It goes without saying that this is one of my favorite places for chic statement necklaces."
2. SPiN: "Ping-pong is one of my new favorite pastimes. I love coming here to hang out and hit balls with my friends."
3. Café Gitane: "One of my favorite restaurants in the city —I love that the food is delicious but still healthy."
4. Gracious Home: "I come here to pick scented candles from brands such as Belle Fleur and Antica Farmacista to keep my apartment smelling nice."
5. Dewey's Candy Shop: "I adore this new candy shop that opened in DUMBO. They carry lots of unique and hard-to-find treats."
More about Olivia's hot spots in this video, i already talked about in a previous post.
Sunday, March 28, 2010
What do you think about mixing different patterns? I normally stay true to the old rule of wearing only one print at a time. But seeing Olivia pairing pieces with different prints together makes me want to try it out. One of the rules is to make sure one colour repeats in several pieces of the outfit, while keeping the rest of the outfit (shoes,..) neutral. Do you think Olivia totally rocks this look or is it simply too busy?Olivia is wearing the graffiti mini dress by Unique.
This is what Olivia wore at the launch of her collection for Roberta Freymann. You can buy these necklaces online here. She is wearing a dress by Julian J Smith, the 'jewelled jacket' from top shop (see this post) and the Mulberry Alexa clutch.
And here's another City girl that likes to wear statement necklaces. (I just love this one)

HISTORY OF M.I. 7 (b) (MARCH, 1916 - DECEMBER, 1918).
WORK OF M.I. 7 (b) (MARCH -DECEMBER, 1916).
The subsection M.I. 7 (b) was started in March, 1916, on the appointment of Lieut.-
Colonel Warburton Davies to take charge of M.I. 7. It was organized by Major J. L.
Fisher, who was appointed General Staff Officer, 3rd Grade, in April, 1916.
The duties of the sub-section were originally defined as:-
(a.) Control of policy regarding Press propaganda;
(b.) The study of the foreign Press, and compilation of the Daily Review of the
but later in the year this latter duty was assigned to a new subsection, M.I. 7 (d), under Lieut.-Colonel Wake.
The work of M.I. 7 (b) as regards propaganda was at first confined to the preparation of military material for propaganda purposes, the main duties of distribution being undertaken by the News Department of the Foreign Office and afterwards by the Department of Information. A certain amount of distribution, however, has always been performed by Military Attaches, and by Press authorities at the various General Headquarters, both British and Allied.
The necessity early became apparent of maintaining correspondence with other
Government Departments concerned with propaganda, such as the Foreign Office,
Colonial Office, Board of Trade, Board of Education, War Trade Intelligence
Department; &c., and with British and Allied General Headquarters abroad; and,
also, of organizing an adequate service of propagandist writers.
In May, 1916, Captain Lord Onslow was attached to M.I. 7 (b) to carry out these
duties. Correspondence was established with the other Government Departments
concerned, and to assist in securing a service of writers Captain A. J. Dawson, as an experienced journalist, was attached to the subsection, and instructed to prepare a plan for obtaining continuous supplies of articles about the work of the Army, so far as possible without cost to the country. As a result a notice was issued from General Headquarters, Home Forces, in August, 1916, and posted in all officers messes, inviting officers of literary experience serving in Home Commands and on light duty to send in their names. To this invitation there was a large response. The officers were communicated with and asked to send in specimen articles on military matters, the better writers being encouraged to further efforts.
At the same time attention was given to pictorial propaganda. The services of
various artists were at first lent to the subsection, but subsequently it was decided that officers might be attached for artistic work in the same way as they were attached as writers.
While these developments of popular propaganda were proceeding, it was
considered desirable that technical information should be collected from the various departments of the War Office, and by visits to commands and training centres, regarding the rapidly expanding British military effort. In May, 1916, Captain Basil Williams was attached to the subsection to collect and tabulate this information, and to embody it in articles and pamphlets for the use of writers and journalists.
Meanwhile, every effort was made to instruct and maintain the confidence of the
Press. In May, 1916, arrangements were made for a confidential statement on
military affairs to be prepared and issued, through the Press Bureau, to 40 selected editors of English newspapers; and in October the system of weekly interviews by the Director of Military Operations (described on page 12) was inaugurated for the benefit of selected American correspondents, who desire to be informed of the general course of events.
A weekly telegram was also produced, and circulated through the Foreign Office to foreign countries, giving the military news of the week, and before the end of the year a daily telegram was being despatched to Christiania and a similar bi-weekly telegram to Petrograd.
The distribution of the propaganda articles of the M.I. 7 (b) to the Press of the
Dominions was next taken up (November, 1916). The news department being at that
time a branch of the Foreign Office, could issue articles only to neutral and Allied countries; the Press Bureau issued only to British Press and the Colonial Office, when applied to, stated that it was unable to undertake the distribution. Eventually, it was arranged that the articles, should be sent from. M.I. 7 (b) in the name of the Royal Colonial Institute. The distribution was accordingly begun in January, 1917.
The basis of all counter propaganda being the propaganda of the enemy, an early
start had been made with the formation of a library of German propaganda
literature in the subsection. War literature of enemy origin was collected by a branch of the Postal Censorship (M.I. 9) roughly classified and catalogued, and the first copy of each book or pamphlet sent to M.I. 7 (b). The examination and analysis of this literature was entrusted to Captain Chalmers Mitchell, F.R.S., who prepared an exhaustive memo on this question which was printed, for distribution.
An analysis of German wireless propaganda and Press telegrams was also
undertaken in October, 1916, and soon developed into two daily circulated reports, one on German propaganda, the other on items of intelligence drawn from the German cables.
Another branch of the work of the subsection which soon became important was the preparation of propaganda pamphlets for aerial distribution, and the reproduction of German captured letters. These were sent regularly to General Headquarters, France and Salonika, and widely used.
The regulation of facilities to foreigners and others desiring to visit places of interest was at first supervised by M.I. 7 (b). Subsequently the regulation of all visits, both in this country and abroad, was undertaken, and a special officer, Captain Foster, appointed to supervise it. Before the end of the year, however, this work was detached, and in June, 1917, was assigned to another subsection, M.I. 7 (c), which, up to that time, had existed as a Translation Bureau only.
It should be added that, in conjunction with M.I. 7 (c) (later with M.I. 3 (e)),
arrangements were made for the translation of suitable articles into foreign
languages for despatch to the foreign Press, and for distribution through
representatives of the neutral Press in London, who were in the habit of calling weekly at the War Office. Sir Douglas Haig’s despatch of 30th December, 1916 - to name one example - was thus translated into nine languages and distributed wherever these languages were current.
In December, 1916, Lieut.-Colonel Davies was transferred from the War Office to the 64th Division, and Major (now Lieut.-Colonel) Fisher was appointed General Staff Officer, 1st Grade, in his place. Lord Onslow succeeded Major Fisher as General Staff Officer, 2nd Grade, M.I. 7 (b).
The staff of M.I. 7 (b) had grown, with the increase of its duties, in 9 months from 1 officer to 24. It was housed, except for the War Office staff, in Adelphi Court, Strand, from August, 1916, to 4th October, 1917, when the whole subsection, still further enlarged, moved under Lord Onslow to improved accommodation in Adastral House, Victoria Embankment, where it remained until demobilized.
WORK OF M.I. 7 (B) (JANUARY, 1917 - DECEMBER, 1918).
The function of the sub-section was clearer, in December, 1916, than in March. Its function was to deal with the publication of military information in all its branches from a propaganda point of view; with all questions of policy that might arise in that connection, with the collection of military information suitable for publicity, the preparation of military material, and the distribution through the Press Bureau, the Department of Information and the National War Aims Committee; or in special cases through its own (That is, Military Attaches, Press authorities at General Headquarters, both at home and abroad, a variety of representatives of public and semi-public bodies, and numerous private individuals going on missions, both neutral and Allied.) organization, of the finished article. To enable it to perform these duties it was found necessary also to follow closely the propaganda of the enemy as displayed in war literature, and in news telegrams circulated through the news agencies.
The work done in 1916 was, in the main, and of necessity, experimental. By the end
of the year, however, most of the present subdivisions (known since, September,
1917, as M.I. 7 (b) (1), (2), &c.), had already defined themselves. Apart from policy,
which is directed by the General Staff, the remaining history of M.I. 7 (b) is therefore best given as a history of the subdivisions.
The duties of the General Staff were these. At the head of the subsection was a
General Staff Officer, Grade 2 (Major Lord Onslow, succeeded in April, 1918, by
Major Lord Kerry). His duties included, besides a general supervision of the
subsection, communication with other Departments; responsibility for the collection of information and supply of material to writers, and the execution of the policy in regard to publicity laid down by the Deputy Director of Military Intelligence, and communicated to him by the head of the section. He also acted as liaison officer between the War Office and the Ministry of Information, (In July, 1918, this duty was taken over by Lieut.-Colonel W.R. Greene, head of M.I. 7 (c).) the National War Aims Committee, (This Committee undertook distribution of articles to the Home Press.) and the British War Mission (Crewe House); and was in touch, by visits and otherwise, with the various British General Headquarters in the field. The subsection also kept in close touch throughout with the Admiralty and the Royal Air Force. By these means an attempt was made to secure unity of policy and action. The General Staff Officer, 3rd Grade, and by an attached officer responsible for preliminary censorship and distribution of articles.
The history of the subdivisions may now be given:- | <urn:uuid:278307e1-17b9-4ae0-9c03-137bbfb011a3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.mi7.nl/history-1 | 2022-08-08T17:13:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570868.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808152744-20220808182744-00097.warc.gz | en | 0.971405 | 2,209 |

Middletown holds 9/11 memorial dedication
MIDDLETOWN – The darkness grew among the trees, but friends and relatives staved off the gathering gloom as they placed flickering candles on stones engraved with the names and faces of loved ones killed 15 years ago.
They walked the meandering brick path through the trees Sunday at Middletown's World Trade Center Memorial Gardens, where 37 township residents who were killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks are memorialized in the waist-high stones.
Vincenza McDonnell of Brooklyn stopped by the stone of her son, Michael Patrick McDonnell, who was killed at the age of 33 as he worked on the 89th floor in the World Trade Center. He was the fire marshal of his floor, his mother said.
"You never get over the heartache and the pain," she said.
Michael McDonnell left behind a wife and two sons in Middletown, said his mother. His sons are nearly grown and his wife, who is now remarried, all live in Florida, but Vincenza, her husband Patrick and Michael's sister Denise attend Middletown's ceremony each year.
"This is a beautiful thing they do here every year," she said after spending minutes at her son's stone.
Across the Jersey Shore, hundreds of residents gathered at memorial ceremonies.
Diadra Marsch, 46, of the Belford section of Middletown came to honor her classmate from Middletown High School North, Kenneth Tietjen.
"He had a smile that would light up the world," she said.
Tietjen was a Port Authority police officer who went to the towers to help with the evacuation when the towers fell.
The Sept. 11 attacks inflicted wounds on the nation that may never truly heal, Middletown Mayor Gerard P. Scharfenberger said in a speech.
"In an instant, the world as we knew it no longer existed," he said. "For them to have been taken so violently and so needlessly, is something that no one will ever be able to rationalize."
Miles to the south, several hundred Ocean Gate residents packed the borough's streets for the Sept. 11 memorial dedication, which featured a new park created in memory of the tragic events.
The park included a segment of steel from the North Tower of the World Trade Center, made into a representation of the twin towers. Four dwarf trees represented the planes used in the attacks, and three bushes represented the buildings that were attacked.
Ocean Gate resident and retired Deputy Chief of the Jersey City Fire Department Tom Fitzgerald had the idea for the ceremony and park, which started as a drawing on a napkin in his kitchen one day.
Fitzgerald received the twisted steel that he recalled being the size of a pickup truck, and wanted to make it into a resemblance of the twin towers.
“To have this many people turn out for this to show their support is great,” Fitzgerald said. “The council approved this in July and we were able to put this together in eight weeks, and it came together very nice.”
Speaking in Middletown, Congressman Chris Smith called the airline hijackers "cowards" who "perpetrate(d) the worst act of terrorism in American history."
Smith also spoke of the heroic actions of the plane passengers who fought back against the hijackers in the skies over Pennsylvania, and of the selflessness of the first responders who rushed into the burning towers to save others.
"For the families of the 37 Middletown victims — for all the victims' loved ones — the news that day and since was absolutely devastating," he said. "Both then — and now fifteen years later — words are inadequate to convey our empathy for those who died and for the victims’ families."
Scharfenberger said the tragedy still remains unquantifiable.
"It is incumbent on all of us to never let the memory of that day fade from our consciousness, and to ensure that future generations are imbued with the enormity of our loss," the mayor said. "Perhaps the greatest tribute we as a country can pay to those lost on 9/11 is to remain ever vigilant in our efforts to defeat the abject evil that took them from us far too soon." | <urn:uuid:ad87a826-2796-4501-aa0c-b6c51f8a02da> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.app.com/story/news/local/new-jersey/2016/09/11/ocean-gate-holds-911-memorial-dedication/89973486/ | 2020-09-25T04:54:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00370.warc.gz | en | 0.978189 | 890 |
Momentum is building in the Trump administration to leave the Paris Agreement on climate change in the coming weeks — which would put the global climate deal in danger of becoming a largely symbolic pact, rather than a meaningful move that slows the pace of global warming.
Reports that the U.S. might soon leave the Paris Agreement — the decision is far from final, but the Trump administration appears closer to leaving than it had previously — have prompted an outcry from government officials around the world, including the European Union and NATO, along with environmental groups, just as diplomats are set to meet to discuss climate change in Bonn next week. A U.S. exit would not necessarily doom the deal, but it would significantly undermine its credibility and further diminish the chances the world will meet the agreement’s target of keeping global temperatures from rising more than 2°C (3.6°F) by 2100.
“If one nation, especially the biggest nation … if they do not recognize a problem, then we will have trouble dealing” with climate change, General Denis Mercier, NATO’s supreme allied commander for transformation, told Reuters.
In the White House, the exit camp has argued that remaining in the deal would threaten Trump’s domestic energy agenda. The Paris Agreement relies on voluntary non-binding commitments, and countries face no explicit penalty for failing to meet them, but lawyers in the Trump administration disagree about whether the countries can weaken their commitments. Some Trump administration officials believe it’s better to withdraw than to be stuck with commitments that conflict with Trump’s energy plans, since falling short of commitments without formally exiting the deal could leave the federal government vulnerable to legal challenges.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that a decision would come before the G7 summit at the end of this month, and Trump teased an announcement at a Pennsylvania rally last weekend.
The debate over whether the target can be weakened under the terms of the Paris Agreement centers on a single sentence: “A party may at any time adjust its existing nationally determined contribution with a view to enhancing its level of ambition.” The interpretation of that sentence has divided lawyers and policy experts, including within the Trump administration. State Department lawyers have said that the U.S. faces few legal obligations under the agreement and can revise commitments downward. White House counsel Don McGahn reportedly believes otherwise.
The confusion over the sentence has left many environmentalists taking the surprising view that the U.S. is in fact able to revise its commitment downward, even if that’s not in keeping with the spirit of the deal — because, to them, anything is better than the U.S. withdrawing entirely. The Sierra Club argued in a leaked memo that it would be “extremely difficult” to challenge a move to weaken U.S. commitments in court. Former French climate change envoy Laurence Tubiana, a key framer of the Paris Agreement, said in a tweet that “of course US government CAN legally downsize its contribution but SHOULD Not.”
President Obama committed the U.S. to a 26-28% reduction in annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 from 2005 levels and instituted a number of measures to try to meet that goal, including the Clean Power Plan, which would have required states to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. Trump has targeted that regulation, along with a slew of others. An analysis of the policies Trump has enacted, from the Resources for the Future think tank, shows that the U.S. is likely to see no more than a 12.6% decline in greenhouse gas emissions.
Diplomats hammered out the Paris Agreement over decades of negotiation and officials across the globe say they will not abandon it if the U.S. leaves, but a lack of American involvement would weaken the deal’s credibility and undermine its objective. “I don’t think the Paris Agreement is going to fall apart even if the U.S. walks away from it,” Todd Stern, the chief U.S. climate change negotiator under Obama, said earlier this year. “They wouldn’t want to give the Trump administration the satisfaction of being able to kill Paris.”
But nonetheless, the withdrawal of the world’s second-largest emitter and largest economy would inevitably disrupt progress at cutting global greenhouse emissions. Moreover, it would create an awkward dynamic at high-level international gatherings like the G7 and G20 summits. Last month, the U.S. position on climate change doomed a joint statement from the G7 countries at an energy summit, an unusual sign of discord on an issue that had been key to international collaboration.
“The U.S. will be fighting the rest of the world at all of these meetings and it will get in the way,” says John Coequyt, the Sierra Club’s global climate policy director.
In Bonn, where diplomats from around the globe will gather next week for their biannual climate change meeting, the uncertainty will distract from discussions about how to implement the agreement. The U.S. will be represented by State Department diplomats and will continue to play a leadership role — at least in theory — in discussions on transparency, a key provision of the agreement. “The question [is] whether this creates a difficult backdrop for the negotiations,” says Paula Caballero, global director at the climate program at World Resources Institute. “The answer is clearly yes.” | <urn:uuid:36f7b0c0-7461-4985-9ab4-b720d5a08dfd> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://time.com/4766881/paris-agreement-climate-change-trump/ | 2017-11-21T05:21:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806316.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121040104-20171121060104-00262.warc.gz | en | 0.952764 | 1,123 |

“Ask your Cardinal!” Ward Miller’s response to a parishioner’s questions about why this is happening to the family at St. Adalbert.
Imagine a place that has been the foundation of your worship life. Your earliest memories are of sitting on your father’s lap during a church service. You had the funeral mass for that same father years later. Family was married there. You were married there. It is the hub of your spiritual life and the hub of your community life. And then the Archdiocese tells you it no longer has room for that facility among its assets, and it will be sold to the highest bidder.
That is what Blanca Torres and all the worshippers at St. Adalbert are going through right now. Whether of Polish or Latino upbringing, the faithful who worship at St. Adalbert all feel the same.
“We went to school here. We took our moral and spiritual foundation here. We got married here. We had our funerals here. In all of that, we were a community that supported and encouraged each other,” said parishioner Blanca Torres.
“The parishioners and the Catholic faithful have built this church. Why should we pay for it again?” asked Julie Sawicki, a worshipper at St. Adalbert. “We are fighting for everything (the church, rectory, convent and school), because we know the church cannot survive alone.”
25th Ward Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez promised the community that no further action would take place on the church until the worshippers and community members are at the table. “All the parishioners who have worked hard to build the kind of community we see today, there will be no movement on this project until the Archdiocese meets with the parishioners. It is irresponsible to decide that after July 14 this will no longer be a sacred place. We have a clear, transparent process about their plans. Without a conversation, it is irresponsible to make these kinds of decisions. You will be at the table!”
“Between the combined efforts of the Polish and Mexican communities and all others interested in this effort, we can and will make this work,” said Rosemarie Dominguez, a member of the St. Adalbert community. “All community members feel like they have been abandoned by their church leaders.”
“We encourage the Archdiocese and the community to come together and save St. Adalbert,” said Preservation Chicago Executive Director Ward Miller. “Closing the church is not the right answer here. We need the City of Chicago to Landmark this church (and save it for future generations).”
When one parishioner in the audience asked Miller “Why is it they can save buildings downtown, but they can’t save this church?” Ward Miller responded, “Ask your Cardinal!”
It is time to ask Cardinal Cupich! Preservation Chicago will continue to work with the St. Adalbert faithful and members of the community to return this sacred place to the people who built it. We will work together to find viable options to encourage it to be a sacred site.

CATHOLIC CANON LAW CAN SAVE PARISHES FROM CLOSURE OR MERGER, Dalton Tomich, June 11, 2013
“The Vatican’s primary appellate court has made known through prior decisions that churches cannot be closed due to a priest shortage. Second, a parish in good financial standing cannot be stripped of its financial resources, particularly those resources that the parish has accrued over the decades from the donations and work of parish members.” | <urn:uuid:323615d4-18e7-4377-9d83-be5d55b4e9b6> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://www.preservationchicago.org/threatened-st-adalbert-unity-rally-highlights-worshippers-plight-chi-7-2014-2016-and-2019/ | 2023-06-01T21:44:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224648209.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20230601211701-20230602001701-00796.warc.gz | en | 0.971512 | 814 |

The Low Level Waste (LLWR) repository has a proud past, a busy present and an exciting future. We have been managing the UK’s low-level radioactive waste for over 60 years and in July 2021 we became a subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), taking a more integrated approach to waste management across the whole of the domain and optimizing the use of our site, providing sustainability in terms of highly skilled jobs, use of the supply chain and support for the local economy.
Industry waste management policies have undergone sweeping changes since LLWR was set up in 2007 to manage the West Cumbria depot and oversee a national low-level waste program – and the numbers speak for its success.
In 2009, 95% of low-level waste was disposed of at the repository. Today that figure is around 2%, LLWR has led the way in ensuring effective solutions for low-level waste management, diverting materials from site using a range of treatments and disposal routes alternatives.
As a result, and through the implementation of the principles of the waste management hierarchy, LLWR has extended the operational life of the repository by over 100 years, extending it well into the 22nd century and saving the UK taxpayer over £2 billion by removing the requirement for a second national benchmark.
LLWR has just launched the largest building program it has ever undertaken, the Repository Development Program (RDP), which will span 3 decades. Planning permission was obtained to allow the construction of a final ceiling over the existing and new vaults and seven landfill-type trenches where waste was disposed of before the opening of the first vault at the site in 1988.
Our top priority has always been safety – of our community, our workforce and the environment – as evidenced by our safety performance. If you join the LLWR family, you will find a positive and supportive environment where your physical and mental health is prioritized and an inclusive atmosphere free from discrimination is promoted, alongside a commitment to excellence.

Natural Lawn Care
Homeowners often do not see themselves as having an impact on water quality as individuals. However, we all live in a watershed and therefore have to consider the cumulative impacts. Additionally, some homeowners fail to realize that while they may not live right next to a lake or stream, runoff from their lawn can still end up in nearby waterbodies through a network of curbs, gutters, and storm drains. When you combine excess use of fertilizers and pesticides, overwatering, and compacted soils in urban environments, the risk of polluted runoff increases.
The best and easiest ways to promote a healthy natural lawn are by mowing grass to 3 or 4 inches tall with a sharp blade, leaving clippings on the lawn as a source of nitrogen for the soil, and core aerating in the fall to improve watering and root structure. Also, follow these tips:
- Build healthy soil. Healthy soil is essential for healthy plants. A soil test will tell if adequate nutrients are available for plant growth. If your soil test shows that you need to add nutrients, consider using non-synthetic products like compost, which contains plenty of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and organic matter that improves the soil’s ability to hold water and retain beneficial microorganisms.
- Let nature do the work. Use natural, non-synthetic fertilizers. Compost and plant and animal-based fertilizers improve soil and turf health without causing the degree of polluted runoff associated with synthetic options. Pesticides also kill unintended, beneficial organisms that are critical to soil health and keep lawns from building up thatch.
- Shrink your lawn. Focus on what you want from your landscape—for example, a play area for kids or pets or an attractive border—and design and maintain your landscape based on how it will be used. Reducing unnecessary lawn area will help to cut down on maintenance expenses.
- Right plant, right place. Different plants have specific water, nutrient, and light requirements. Poorly adapted plants are susceptible to attack by disease and pests. Choosing appropriate plants for your area can cut down on lawn care expenses. Avoid invasive plants that can outcompete native plants.
- Let the rain soak in and water smart. Capturing or filtering rainwater on your property provides several benefits, such as reduced runoff and minimized erosion and nutrient loading in nearby waterways. You can use water wisely by integrating cisterns and rain barrels, rain gardens, and permeable pavers into your landscape design. Consider letting your lawn go dormant in the summer or other dry periods. If you choose to irrigate, limit watering to one inch per week including rainfall, and minimize evaporative waste by watering in the morning or evenings, as needed.

Wednesday, this one at Waterfront Park at Southwest Taylor and Southwest Naito Parkway.
The 24-hour solar powered potty is sleek and gray with a push-button faucet on the outside and slats on the bottom so police can make sure there’s only one person in there at a time.
“If they see four legs in there, that’s two legs too many,” said Leonard at the lunchtime gathering, attended by his office and reporters.
The city installed its first 24-hour solar-powered loo in late 2008, on Northwest Glisan Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in Old Town.
Wednesday’s loo is the first of three planned for this year. The third toilet also will be in Waterfront Park, near Saturday Market at Southwest Ash Street and
The one drawing the most controversy, however, is a proposed public toilet in the Pearl District, at Northwest 11th Avenue and Kearney Street near Jamison Square that official neighborhood officials want but that some residents find alarming.
The loos cost about $60,000 apiece. The money for the loos comes from the city’s general fund and is administered by the Portland Water Bureau, whose mission of providing excellent drinking water has little to do with public flushing.
But that’s because Leonard is passionate about the issue. He thinks it’s a disgrace that there aren’t more public options in public spaces for people — whether they are homeless or from the West Hills — to relieve themselves.
“The Portland Loos are meant to be a unique solution to a universal problem. Everyone should have somewhere to take care of business with a little privacy and a little dignity,” he said in a statement.
Stuart Oishi of Leonard’s staff had the honors of demonstrating the first flush. The unit has heat tape to keep the water pipes from freezing when the temperature dips.

"VIKINGS is an incredible win for HISTORY - our first scripted series. We began this journey over six years ago, when we set sail to broaden the genre of HISTORY and now we are the only cable network to have achieved this amazing level of success in both nonfiction and scripted genres," said Nancy Dubuc, President, Entertainment and Media, A+E Networks. "People think they know the Vikings - but the reality is more complex. We knew our audience had an appetite for this unexpected storytelling and it was a big bet that paid off."
HISTORY's nine-part scripted series VIKINGS, airs Sundays at 10PM ET and tells the extraordinary tales of the lives and epic adventures of these warriors. The drama portrays the world of these Dark Age raiders, traders, explorers - not from an outsider's view, but, through the eyes of Viking society.
While VIKINGS is filled with conflict, warfare and bloodshed - for these were extreme times - it is a family saga at heart. It follows the adventures of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel, The Beast, Baytown Outlaws), a curious, compelling man who is always looking to break through barriers and discover new worlds to conquer. Ragnar is deeply frustrated by the unadventurous policies of his local chieftain, Earl Haraldson (Gabriel Byrne, In Treatment, Usual Suspects, Millers Crossing), who continues to send his Vikings raiders east every summer, to the Baltic states and Russia, whose populations are as materially poor as themselves.
Joining Fimmel and Byrne are Katheryn Winnick (Bones, Love and Other Drugs, The Black Marks) as Lagertha, a fierce shield maiden and Ragnar's wife; Jessalyn Gilsig (Glee, Heroes, Nip/Tuck, Friday Night Lights) as Siggy, Earl Haraldson's beautiful wife; George Blagden (Les Miserables, Wrath of the Titans) as Athelstan, a young, innocent Christian monk captured by Ragnar on his first raid on England, Clive Standen (Camelot, Robin Hood) as Rollo, Ragnar's impulsive, wild, care-free brother and Gustaf Skarsgard (The Way Back) a ship builder who designs the new generation of Vikings ships.
Created and written by Michael Hirst - one of the premier historical story-tellers in the industry (Academy-Award winning film Elizabeth; and the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated series The Tudors), Michael serves as Executive Producer along with Morgan O'Sullivan of World 2000 (The Count of Monte Cristo; The Tudors), John Weber of Take 5 Productions (The Tudors; The Borgias), Sherry Marsh, Alan Gasmer, James Flynn (The Tudors; The Borgias) and Sheila Hockin (The Tudors; The Borgias). Dirk Hoogstra and Julian P. Hobbs are the Executives in Charge of Production for HISTORY.
VIKINGS is an international Irish/Canadian co-production being co-produced by World 2000 and Take 5 Productions. HISTORY will broadcast domestically in the U.S. MGM Television will bring VIKINGS to the global audience, serving as the international distributor outside of Ireland, Canada and the U.S. VIKINGS is produced in association with Shaw Media, and the series will air on HISTORY in Canada.

Have you ever wanted to eat meat or poultry with something sweet, but not too sweet, or maybe spicy and sweet? It is amazing how our taste of chicken has changed.
Many people get up in the morning knowing what they are in the mood for and some need to open their refrigerator and hope for real inspiration. The latter is what happened with Mango Chicken.
I do not often cook meat, but mango is a fruit I find to go well with different types of meats. Mango is usually part of salsa that serves as a topping to meat. To me, that is the easiest and simple way. But when you cook mango with chicken, you get a different taste. The chicken absorbs the juice of the mango, and the result is a sweet tangy and salty taste.
Prepping and making the chicken recipe
I marinated chicken legs with onions, garlic hoisin sauce, black pepper, champagne vinegar and fleur de sel. These ingredients may not be in your pantry, but they can be used in many other dishes you create and may provide the distinctive taste you are looking for.
Marinating the meat overnight was the best result. The chicken was well seasoned. I chose to bake the chicken in the oven because I did not want to pan fry or roast for a few minutes then place it in the oven. The dish would have taken too long to make.
The best part of this recipe I think, is cooking the marinade with the mango. That was so much better! You could also use mango chutney if you did not have fresh mangoes. Mango Chutney has sugar which may make the dish a little too sweet unless that is what you prefer.
Tips and tricks
I used champagne vinegar because of its mild taste and fleur de sel because of flavoring. These two ingredients can be substituted, but you won’t have the same result in taste.
You may want to use a mild vinegar such as Rice Vinegar. You may replace Fleur de Sel with Sea Salt of Kosher Salt. Each type of salt has a different taste — keep that in mind. So here is Mango Chicken
- 4 pieces chicken legs or thighs
- ½ cup onions chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic hoisin sauce store bought
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and more to taste
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- ½ teaspoon fleur de sel
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup mango cubed, about 1 large mango
- salt to taste
- Clean chicken pieces with vinegar/lemon juice, rinse with water, and pat dry. Marinate chicken with onion, garlic hoisin sauce, ground black pepper, champagne, and salt for at least 1 hour or overnight. Remove chicken from marinade (save marinade for later) and bake 20 minutes on a baking dish at 400°F . Turn chicken pieces over and continue baking for another 20 minutes.
- In a saucepan, add unsalted butter and marinade. Cook mixture for 3 – 4 minutes while stirring. Add mango cubes and cook for 6 – 8 minutes stirring occasionally. Add 4 tablespoons of sauce from baked chicken pieces or add 4 tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add habanero hot sauce at the end if using. Place chicken pieces on a platter and pour mango sauce and serve hot with rice or any other types of grains.
