Believe or not! My first own track in over 5 years. It took me this long (well not quite) to actually get my ass back on the production line.
It all started already earlier, when we relaunched our Nervous+Anxious project last December, before that I didn’t even have any tools installed. Now we have already written two tracks for that project, but personally I haven’t touched FL Studio outside of that project and this pounding acid techno track is my first.
I’m not promising whole a lot of new updates, but if anything happens besides our N+A project, I’ll be posting it here. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy… | <urn:uuid:670bbb7d-1e7f-4ca0-9a62-0d22cab519e0> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://joonasmusic.wordpress.com/tag/techno/ | 2017-12-15T12:02:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948569405.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20171215114446-20171215140446-00593.warc.gz | en | 0.94302 | 149 |
7 Quick Tips for Boosting Your SEO: A Beginner's Guide
1. Set up a Google My Business profile
Set this up and get all of your business details uploaded. Google My Business will enable you to appear in local search results specific to the area you're operating in. Even broad searches with large volumes are now showing local results which is something business owners can capitalize upon.
2. Make your site mobile friendly with Accelerate Mobile Pages (AMP)
AMP generates a mobile version of your site and will increase your SERP in mobile browser. Approximately 80% of internet traffic comes from mobile, so make sure your site is built on a flex template and optimized with AMP.
3. Understand your online audience
Obviously as marketers, this goes without saying. But, who is your typical customer? What are they looking for and how do they spend their time online? What kind of content do they like to consume? When you understand your audience, you will know what you need to do online to grab their attention.
4. Optimize your homepage meta description
This is just plain best practice. Get those top terms into a description that isn't too gimmicky or spammy, and is a clear indicator of what your website is about. The rule of thumb here is to get your most important keywords into your homepage title and meta description.
5. Research keywords and competitors
Keyword research is essential to understanding your site's SEO and your competitors', but luckily, you do not have to be an SEO guru to know which keywords to use. Use free tools like SEM Rush to research your current and potential keywords related products and services, your audience's topics of interest or other aspects of SEO.
6. Make your site load faster
A study shows that most of the visitors wait under 7 seconds for a page to load. If your page doesn't load before that time you risk losing traffic. If you're running on an open source CMS , deleting any unnecessary plugins will help speed things up!
7. Keep an eye on your back-links
Your external links are a big factor in whether your page ranks on the first page of Google. Pages that are linked the most by outside sites are likely to be viewed by search engines as the most relevant and important. It's not enough to get the most links to your site. Your site should also earn the links of sites that are respected and have high authority in their field or niche. | <urn:uuid:fe3435cf-8d0a-440c-8fd0-c5a7bb608028> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.dmnews.com/marketing-strategy/7-quick-tips-for-boosting-your-seo-a-beginners-guide/article/746464/ | 2018-05-27T13:47:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794868316.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527131037-20180527151037-00048.warc.gz | en | 0.94001 | 498 |

I saw a couple of articles in Forbes that seemed to be related although maybe it’s only in my own mind. First the article by Larry Husten on the Maintenance of Certification (MOC), which I tweeted:
It’s actually a combination of two articles in which the comments steal the show. In fact, I suppose I should thank Larry for posting his opinion, which left him open to criticism which he acknowledged but still didn’t seem to get. Just as one who commented said, you should probably read the comments first, then read Larry’s story. It’s pretty clear he didn’t do his homework.
My wife suggested I write a counter article to submit to Forbes, but after reading the comments, I can see I really don’t need to do that. Doctors are not opposed to the principle of lifelong learning. We’re just not convinced that the MOC, in its current form, helps us embody the principle. The most frustrating part of it is that most of the modules are not relevant to our practices.
I’m compliant with MOC and just to be fair to the other side, I think it’s important for psychiatrists to be familiar with the MOC process as it is currently structured.
All clear on that? That was just to show that It’s very complicated and that complexity could be part of the reason Larry Husten didn’t do his homework on the MOC issue.
The other Forbes article is on a topic which, at first glance, doesn’t seem to have any connection with MOC.
So, for years, I’ve been using Turbotax Deluxe and we’ve been able to navigate the application fine for our tax situation. This year we felt manipulated into uupgrading to Turbotax Premier for an extra $30. Like many others, we were cornered into either lying on our taxes or upgrading from Deluxe to Premier. We abhor lying and Turbotax probably capitalized on that fear and loathing (especially the fear of lying to tax authorities), betting it could steer us into spending more money on a software upgrade–that it turns out we really didn’t need. It did make navigating the application a lot more difficult, made it unnecessarily confusing, and was filled with obvious mistakes uncharacteristic of the software in the past.
OK, so I’m not going to bore you with all of our tax filing frustrations; you’ve got enough of your own. But here’s the connection between Turbotaxgate and MOC: if Turbotax caught you as well, it probably did so based on what most of us perceive as the money-grabbing, fear-mongering maneuver that looks like it was intentionally conceived and implemented by Turbotax executives. And MOC has been promulgated by corporate boards on the same basis–fear: fear that if doctors aren’t participating in MOC, patients will be exposed to poor or dangerous medical care. The best example is the Bristol heart babies scandal, which led to the revalidation process in the United Kingdom.
The truth is that MOC will never protect patients from incompetent doctors, and it especially won’t protect them from dangerous psychopathic doctors. That’s what state medical boards are for. And by the way, there’s a lot of money in the MOC business for corporate boards.
So the connection between Turbotaxgate and the MOC is that both are based in greed and propelled by manipulation exploiting the natural tendencies of most people to try to live up to higher ethical and moral standards. In my opinion, that is a cynical way to do business.
In all fairness to Larry Husten, I’m aware that there are bad doctors are out there. But I think the best way to protect patients from them is to prevent them from getting into medicine in the first place. I don’t pretend to have all the answers but I’m hopeful that changes now occurring in our medical school curricula will go a lot further in achieving safer and more competent care for patients than the MOC.
We can switch between tax preparation software applications. No doubt some of us will do that next year out of disgust with Turbotaxgate. But doctors can’t just walk away from all of the forces promulgating MOC, which now include the Affordable Care Act (ACA), hospital credentialing committees, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), private insurance companies as well as the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the specialty boards.
So how do we live with ourselves as doctors under the tyranny of MOC? One way we cope is to fight tooth and nail the MOC, along with a lot of other governmental, administrative, and insurance company intrusions. Blogs, petitions, a Federal Lawsuit, debates, and several state medical society resolutions opposing both MOC and its second cousin Maintenance of Licensure (MOL, in which MOC would be tied to medical licensure) all have done next to nothing to persuade boards to see that MOC in its current form incites fear and loathing from physicians.
How does this translate to safer and better care for patients?
How did making taxpayers afraid help us fare better on our taxes after Turbotaxgate?
At its core these events point to the need for individuals to exercise integrity where the rubber meets the road. If the Turbotax CEO doesn’t have it in him, then taxpayers can rise up and demand better treatment. If corporate boards refuse to treat physicians with respect and keep enforcing empty regulations and piling on busywork MOC modules in a futile effort to impose reflective self-improvement from without rather than trusting doctors to do this the only way it can be done, from the inside out–we’ll continue to do what we’ve always done.
We choose to do anything we can to keep the relationship between patients and physicians important above all other intrusions. We do this in hospitals and clinics every day across America. We write petitions even though there is no authority who could use them to influence policy changes. We write State Medical Society resolutions even though they don’t have the force of law. We try to establish new boards even though they won’t have the legitimacy that older boards have. We call for class action lawsuits even though we can’t get enough physicians together to act as a group with solidarity.
And like Larry Husten’s imperfect analogy between airline pilots and doctors, my analogy between Turbotaxgate and MOC fails. As a large group of taxpayers, we have the potential power to influence a CEO’s market share, quarterly margins, and bottom line–which is really all that matters in the business world.
As doctors our allegiance to our patients and their families makes us individuals, more like paladins than members of a political force. And paladins see themselves as protectors of a higher ethical and moral standard. | <urn:uuid:2690b6a5-d744-40df-b7b2-8c334686cfe9> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://thepracticalpsychosomaticist.com/2015/01/25/the-connection-between-turbotaxgate-and-moc/ | 2017-03-27T12:36:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189472.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00469-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961983 | 1,461 |

Alfred H. Miles, ed. The Sacred Poets of the Nineteenth Century. 1907.
Critical and Biographical Essay by Alfred H. Miles
Henry Twells (18231900)
ONE of the most popular as well as one of the most beautiful of modern hymns is that of the Rev. Henry Twells which follows. Mr. Twells was born in 1823, and educated at St. Peters College, Cambridge. He was curate of Great Berkhampstead, 184951; Sub-Vicar of Stratford-on-Avon, 185154; Rector of Baldock, Herts, 1870, and of Waltham-on-the-Wolds, 1871; Select Preacher at Cambridge, 187374; and Canon of Peterborough, 1884. From 1854 to 1870 he was engaged in education. He has written several hymns, but his evening hymn is the one by which he is best known. In some collections the first line is altered and the fourth verse omitted. The word when is sometimes substituted for ere and the word did for was in the former. The following is the original form, though it was first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern, Appendix, 1868, without the fourth verse. | <urn:uuid:c9519e1c-2f81-4f9f-a8d3-3ac2c5b35c65> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.bartleby.com/294/548.html | 2015-05-29T10:26:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207929978.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113209-00096-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975899 | 267 |

. The band is currently out on Bayside
's "Great American Cult" U.S. tour.
We’re going to go back and do some more songs after this tour, doing some more writing and recording. I think we’re going to do something in the summer, that’s going to be in the U.S…people will find out about it in a little while… | <urn:uuid:17dae8c7-e864-4087-a826-e9ab876cde94> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.absolutepunk.net/tags/portland/ | 2014-07-28T23:04:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510263423.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011743-00324-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951798 | 98 |
If it's leaking from the front of the bell housing...the input seal is shot. You'll need to pull the tranny to fix that. Keep your tranny fluid at the proper level until you can get your leak fixed. If you're going to pull the tranny to fix the leak you can mess with the filter. Remember at least half of the fluid is inside your torque converter, make sure you are checking the level with the Jeep running in Park...or Neutral.
When the tranny pump is running (whenever the engine is running) there is fluid being forced out the seal and spewing around inside your bell housing. When you stop it all leaks out. There is no reservoir of fluid INSIDE the bell housing. The cover is just that, a cover. It's not sealed. So anything that leaks out of the front (input) seal will drip on the ground
I would advise against "get the rpms up 4000 ish and with one leg fred flinstone pushing it sort of gets rolling". You can and will do harm to the tranny and maybe yourself. The decision you have to make is...since most shops will charge you around $500-$600 just to R&R the tranny, and the part (the seal) costs $3.50...is it worth it to you to do the work yourself...or take it to a shop.
You can rent a tranny jack for about $20 a day (and you WILL want a tranny jack). Pulling the tranny is not that hard if you have the right tools and a good understanding of how to turn a wrench....and some patience !!
If you go to AAMCO they will tell you that you need a new tranny, always!!

The Golden State Warriors’ season started a little disjointed, with a blowout loss to the Spurs and close victories over also-rans the Pelicans and Suns. Visiting Portland on Tuesday night, though, the Warriors “put it all together,” according to Draymond Green, and they ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers. Their dominance might only be a matter of time, but Damian Lillard’s pregame comments may have accelerated the process.
“It’s not the same,” Lillard declared. “They are a great offensive team and I think they will still be a good defensive team, but it’s different than when (Andrew) Bogut is not back there. It’s just not the same.”
Well, it may not be the same, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still great. Green, ever defiant, was especially happy to throw Lillard’s comments back in his face after the win.
“I love when people say stuff like that,” Draymond said. “I take it personal, so I appreciate it. It really got me going on that end tonight. And I felt amazing out there, and I think our defense was amazing.
“So yeah I love when people say stuff like that. Continue to do it.”
Lillard has poked the Warriors’ bear before, and it’s risky to make a habit out of it, because the Blazers don’t have Green, or Kevin Durant, or Steph Curry, and Golden State does. Having those three means they can straight-up embarrass pretty much anybody if they put their minds to it.

After the Covid-19 pandemic had a shattering effect on industry and employment, companies the world over are now putting their best foot forward in order to spearhead positive change and regrowth.
A great place to start is by building or adding to existing talented teams, who will inevitably be key players in your future success. With that in mind, we take a look at how recent events have influenced recruitment practices in 2021 – and how these trends will shape the localisation industry in the years to come.
Remote and hybrid working is on the up
Remote working was initially implemented as a quick fix to an unprecedented situation. Now, in spite of vaccination efforts and much of the world’s population returning to the workplace, it seems that remote and hybrid working will remain a staple for employees on a global level.
A satisfactory work/life balance, a reported increase in productivity and a broader talent pool are all key reasons for the staying power of this particular trend.
This spells good news for the localisation industry in particular, who can now benefit from creating on-the-ground teams within their local markets, while applying new research-led rules and guidelines for best practice in line with remote working.
Virtual recruitment is the way forward
Not only did the Covid-19 pandemic drastically change the structure of the workplace for the foreseeable, it also created a shift in hiring practices, with employers forced to embrace virtual recruitment in order to grow their teams.
Advances in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have made this transition far more effective, thanks to the endless possibilities created through virtual workplace tours, VR onboarding processes and more.
For 2021 and beyond, companies will likely implement a hybrid recruitment process, which will involve certain elements taking place via video conferencing and others occurring in person. This practice will speed up the hiring process for employers, while also giving them a chance to gauge a candidate through face-to-face impressions.
That said, an end-to-end virtual recruitment solution may likely be the norm with the majority of companies for entry-level candidates.
Artificial Intelligence will take on a starring role
The recruitment process is set to speed up greatly in 2021, thanks to further innovations and company investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. The use of natural language processing (NLP) tools that identify suitable candidates for varying roles through scanning and screening information and keywords will become a lifeline for recruiters struggling to juggle endless administration tasks and tight acquisition deadlines. Chatbots are another highly efficient tool when used to aid the acquisition process, saving both recruiters and job seekers valuable time as they search for the ideal candidate/role match.
From ranking candidate applications based on relevant experience and qualifications, to scheduling interviews, AI technology now has a vital role to play in recruitment. In fact, a whopping 55 percent of HR managers surveyed for a recent study believe that AI will become part and parcel of the recruitment process over the coming five-year period.
Internal mobility will continue to increase
The pandemic also had a huge effect on internal mobility, with the practice of hiring from within a company’s existing structure up an estimated 20 percent since the outbreak of Covid-19.
The benefits to this approach to recruitment are plentiful; not only are you saving capital by looking inward at your current and trusted team, but you increase motivation and boost morale when providing existing employees with opportunities for professional growth and development.
Does an employee display adjacent skills, whereby they showcase a particular flair for or interest in an area not applicable to their current role?
Emphasis should also be placed on the soft skills they possess – something hugely important in localisation. This skillset, honed from human rather than professional experience, can involve anything from communication to empathy. These skills are a vital asset when dealing with a multicultural audience and client base.
An in-depth focus on employer branding
A company’s focus on personal branding will need to rise to a new level and take on far more depth in 2021 in order to attract new talent. Recent social, political and humanitarian issues, such as the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements have created a powerful wave of action and change.
Many individuals and businesses with a global platform have been inspired and encouraged to take a public stance against prejudice and discrimination. It is a way for a brand to express their personality and showcase their efforts in supporting both clients and employees, as well as the local communities in which they operate.
With the onus now on all of us as individuals to stand up against intolerance and abuse, many candidates might be drawn to your corporate efforts in support of certain global issues. In reality, this could be what inevitably inspires them to pursue an opportunity with your company.
How a business operates on a professional and emotional level is of equal importance in today’s society, so your brand identity and culture statement should be reflective of such change if your ultimate goal is to hire – and retain – great talent.
Diversity is key
In the wake of such social upheaval following the high-profile movements previously mentioned, the topic of diversity within the workplace is now very much under the microscope.
So strong is the emphasis on this pressing subject, that many companies all over the world have created Diversity and Inclusion departments, which are managed and directed by individuals with the ability and authority to implement positive change. In fact, data suggests that over the past five years, there has been a global increase of 71 percent in the number of Diversity and Inclusion roles.
Providing open-minded, equal-opportunity employment opportunities is also a logical exercise when considering the localisation industry specifically. With expansion into many different global markets, your company needs to adapt to and embrace numerous cultures, so this is a trend that should be taken seriously not just in 2021, but at all times.

The Samsung F490 is available exclusively to Vodafone customers. If you’re looking for an iPhone alternative and you think that the Samsung F490 is “it”, read this review to find out if you’re right.
Most people nowadays think that if a phone is a touch screen phone, it’s automatically an “iPhone killer”. Well, this is what I initially thought about the Samsung F490 because it looks like a thinner and taller version of the iPhone.
Some of the specs of the Samsung F490 seem to even surpass that of the iPhone. First, it has a larger 3.2 inch screen though thinner because it supports 16:9 aspect ratio when in landscape mode. And second, this phone is also HSDPA capable unlike the iPhone which is only EDGE capable.
If you own the Samsung Armani, you’ll recognize the interface of the Samsung F490. The F490 dons an improved version of Samsung’s Croix interface. A welcome feature on the Samsung F490 is the haptic feedback, something which is lacking on the iPhone. You’d instantly know when you’ve pressed a button. Another thing that I’ve liked is the customizable wallpapers which you can set to change at different time intervals. I’m usually too lazy to change the wallpapers on the mobile phones so from the time that I’ve bought a cell phone to the time that I sell it on eBay, I don’t change the wallpapers. This feature on the Samsung F490 is something I truly enjoy.
Because of the large 3.2 inch screen of the Samsung F490, you have to expect that watching videos is enjoyable. Well, it is, if you have time to convert your videos. The Samsung F490 can playback WMV/MPEG4/H.263/H.264 video files, however, you need to reencode it at 240 x 432 resolution because that’s the native screen resolution of the device.
Like all other touch screen phones with only a screen input, the Samsung F490 is a natural finger print magnet. This device also requires that you calibrate the touch screen. It would have been easy for me because I’ve been a Windows Mobile User for a couple of years and calibrating is easy, however, when you calibrate the Samsung F490, you need to use a sharp object or stylus which could really be a problem if the only sharp object you can find is a needle.
As an MP3 player, the Samsung F490 is surprisingly disappointing. I’m no audiophile but when I compared the same song track on the iPod Touch and the Samsung F490, the latter is clearly the loser. Bottom line, if you’re not really an audiophile and you’re just looking for a good phone with music playback capabilities, then the Samsung F490 “will do”.
Another disappointment on the Samsung F490 is its inability to playback Divx movies. The LG Viewty, its main competitor can do so, so why can’t Samsung add that as well? Though the Samsung F490 has a 5 megapixel camera, this is mainly for show. It has extensive camera settings such as autofocus, white balance, exposure, etc but picture quality still lacks color saturation.
There’s also no WiFi and the last and most important complaint is that: the interface is just too slow and unresponsive.
The bottom line is: it’s no iPhone killer. Though on paper it may beat the iPhone because of its larger screen, HSDPA capability, and 5 mega pixel camera; user interface sucks. There’s no iPhone killer because unless one of the top three mobile phone manufacturers is able to come up with a killer user interface to match the iPhone’s fluid touch interface, the iPhone will still be the “messiah phone”. So HTC, get back to the drawing board with your TouchFlo technology. It’s not yet too late. | <urn:uuid:0407e9f5-c442-4829-94ed-4e197af42591> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.cellphone-reviews.co.uk/2008/04/samsung-f490-review.html | 2017-04-26T23:17:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917121752.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031201-00568-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.898556 | 866 |
Yesterday the S&P 500 give a hint that it might be forming a sort of interim top as it shot to a brand new 52 week high only to move steadily lower throughout the rest of the session closing below the preivous day's low. That constitutes a downside reversal day on the price chart, normally a powerful bearish signal.
Once again, as has often been the case in this market, once the liquidity spigots are wide open, no downside followthrough was seen. Early in the overnight session there was some light selling but nothing heavy. Today, this market is once again working on testing yet another new 52 week high. The session is not over yet so we might still see some late selling efforts but no matter if that does show up, the perma bulls once again have prevailed in this one way market.
Note on the bond chart the market dropped to the bottom of the 4 month old trading range and is trying to bounce. My guess is that the crony pals of the Federal Reserve, the primary dealers, are buying furiously to try to prevent long term interest rates from getting away from their control.
"When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe." … Frederic Bastiat
Evil talks about tolerance only when it’s weak. When it gains the upper hand, its vanity always requires the destruction of the good and the innocent, because the example of good and innocent lives is an ongoing witness against it. So it always has been. So it always will be. And America has no special immunity to becoming an enemy of its own founding beliefs about human freedom, human dignity, the limited power of the state, and the sovereignty of God. – Archbishop Chaput

Just one year after Hamas in Gaza and President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party in the West Bank announced their intention to form a unity government to end years of Palestinian conflict and division, local media reported Tuesday evening that the government in Ramallah would resign within 24 hours.
A political source in the West Bank confirmed the reports the Ynet and said that Abbas intended to meet with Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah early Wednesday morning.
Abbas is expected to request that Hamdallah remain in his position to form the next government. The source also said that the government's resignation is due to its lack of ability to act in the Gaza strip and the roadblocks that Hamas have created for it.
It's still unclear if the goal of Abbas' announcement regarding the government was meant to pressure Hamas and lead to concessions on various issues related to the functioning of the government, or if he truly intends to form a new government.
The unity government created exactly one year ago was made up of technocrats with no political affiliation to Hamas or Fatah. It was made up of 20 government offices including 18 ministers besides Prime Minister Hamdallah. | <urn:uuid:14062cd1-111c-4cf0-906c-e4a24e9bbd9e> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4669379,00.html | 2023-03-26T15:45:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945473.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20230326142035-20230326172035-00088.warc.gz | en | 0.971388 | 240 |
Selling shared ownership property: A list of problems;
- Negative equity
- The valuation must be agreed with the Housing Association
- A limited number of buyers
- The housing association has the first refusal
- You must continue to pay rent
What is the shared ownership scheme?
The shared ownership scheme is the governments help to buy scheme for first-time buyers and home movers. It allows you to buy shares in a shared ownership property of between 25% to 75%. You will then have to pay rent on the remaining shares of the property.
Your household must also earn less than £80,000 outside London and £90,000 in London.
A list of problems when selling shared ownership properties.
Negative equity is when the mortgage you have on a property is more than the property is valued. This means when selling your shared ownership property you will have a problem repaying the mortgage as your mortgage is bigger than your property value.
In this case, you may need to use your savings or borrow money from another lender to repay your shared ownership mortgage.
The valuation must be agreed with the Housing Association
As you can imagine it is in their interest to agree on a lower valuation, especially if they are activating their right to the first refusal and buying the property back from you.
The only reprieve here is that if the housing association undertakes a house valuation and returns to you with a figure which you fee undervalues the property you can then ask for a district valuer to come and value the property.
The district valuers valuation will be unfortunately final and if you don't have a strong case you risk getting an even lower valuation than the shared ownership housing association offered you.
As you can imagine this is a big problem when selling a shared ownership property as the valuation isn’t so much set by you.
The valuation is very important as this is the price at which you will sell your existing shares back to the shared ownership housing association and in the same vein, anything above the valuation will be split evenly between yourself and the housing association or landlord.
So, it is always in their interest to agree a smaller valuation with you as regardless they will benefit from an increased price sale from their share of the property.
A limited number of buyers
When selling shared ownership properties you must sell them to someone who is eligible for the shared ownership scheme. This may not be so much of a problem at first but then consider that most people who will be buying a shared ownership property are first-time buyers who will likely be getting a shared ownership mortgage for the first time.
This means their mortgage affordability assessments may take longer and you will also have to wait for the shared ownership housing association or landlord to approve them for you to be able to sell the shared ownership property to them.
This can be a problem when selling your shared ownership property as you may end up tied in a house chain if you have found another property you want to purchase but can't complete until you sell your shared ownership property.
The housing association has the first refusal
Another problem when selling shared ownership properties is the fact that the housing association has the first refusal on the property.
This means you will have to offer your shared ownership property to the housing association before you can offer it to anyone on the open market. You will still have to find a buyer on the open market who meets the shared ownership eligibility criteria.
Your housing association will usually get back to you within 8 weeks after you have offered the property to them.
You must continue to pay rent
Are shared ownership properties hard to sell?
Yes, in some cases you may consider shared ownership properties harder to sell than a standard property but this could simply be because everything is set out in place on how you should sell a shared ownership property and you must follow the rules.
A list of shared ownership providers:
Catalyst housing Ealing shared ownership
WDH shared ownership
Southern Home ownership
Grampian housing shared ownership
Catalyst Housing shared ownership
Optivo shared ownership
Knighstone shared ownership
Equity Housing shared ownership
Hyde shared ownership
Fortis living shared ownership
Genesis Housing shared ownership
Redrow shared ownership
Bromford housing shared ownership
Derwent living shared ownership
If the problems with selling a shared ownership property are weighing heavy on your mind, you may want to consider other home mover government schemes you may be eligible for but be warned: other home buying government schemes may have similar problems when selling the property as the shared ownership scheme does.
These schemes include:
- Lifetime ISA- gives you a government bonus of £1,000 if you save the maximum £4,000 a year.
- Help to buy ISA- gives a maximum bonus us £3,000 if you save the maximum allowed of £12,000. Before you get either you should consider which is better. Lifetime ISA vs Help to buy ISA.
- Help to buy equity loan- gives you up to 40% as a 5-year interest-free equity loan. You begin to pay interest at 1.75 % after the fifth year and 1% plus RPI for every year thereafter.
- Shared ownership- You can buy between 25% to 75% of the property initially with a shared ownership mortgage and then buy more using a staircasing mortgage.
- Armed forces help to buy- similar to the help to buy equity loan but specific for the armed forces personnel giving them an increased chance of acceptance.
- Rent to buy- This is the right to buy scheme on which this guide is currently discussing. A different marketing name is just used. Watch out for this when shopping to avoid missing out on eligible properties due to confusion.
- Right to buy- allows you to buy your home at a discount price.
- Preserved right to buy- same as above.
- Right to acquire- same as above.
In conclusion, there may be a lot of problems when selling shared ownership property but do they outweigh the benefit of calling a place home? | <urn:uuid:7f10f00b-45de-4b76-a01d-fb1fc978614c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://blog.huuti.co.uk/selling-shared-ownership-property-problems/ | 2019-07-19T20:37:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526359.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719202605-20190719224605-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.962634 | 1,237 |
While population density in The Netherlands is about 1,000 people per square mile, 83 percent of the country is open space, Hylton said. People live in villages, towns or cities, but are never more than a 20-minute bicycle ride from the countryside, he said.
"To the Dutch, a bicycle is a transportation system," Hylton said. Similarly, Davis, Calif., packs 60,000 people into 10 square miles, but has 100 miles of bike paths for commuters, shoppers and students.
"Kids aren't embarrassed to go on a date on a bicycle," Hylton said.
The high price of fuel, smaller families and 77 million Baby Boomers waiting to retire are factors that will influence future development and help Americans "rediscover the merits of town life," he said.
With 1.3 million Chinese and 1 billion Indians entering the car market, the demand for gas and its price will continue to rise and people will want to live within short distances of work, shopping and entertainment, he said.
In Pennsylvania, however, municipalities, not counties, have the power to enact zoning ordinances and other planning tools to channel development, said County Commissioner Bob Ziobrowski.
"It's unlikely the legislature is going to give the counties that power," he said.
"Given the laws you have, you can do multi-municipal planning," Hylton said. Local governments can work together in charting future growth, he said.
Waynesboro and Washington Township are engaged in joint planning, but getting all the entities to agree on projects is not always quick, Washington Township Manager Michael Christopher said. Several years ago the township and Waynesboro received a $250,000 transportation grant to build a walkway to from the borough to Renfrew Park, he said.
By the time all the parties approved the project, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation had changed the concept, tripling its cost and killing it, he said.
As for bicycles, Allen Porter of the Waynesboro Planning Commission said Davis, Calif., has the climate and the terrain for year-round bicycling.
"Every place they talk about using bicycles is flat," said Franklin County Area Development Corp. President. L.

The United States spent up to $28 million more than it had to on camouflage uniforms for the Afghan National Army because of the sartorial tastes of a single Afghan official, an American government watchdog said on Wednesday.
A report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction found that the Pentagon needlessly spent millions to license a proprietary camouflage pattern that replicates lush forests. Most of Afghanistan’s landscape, however, is desert, and the Defense Department owns dozens of similar patterns it could have used free, the report said.
“They picked the pattern based on a fashion preference, not by experts, but by the minister of defense,” said John F. Sopko, the special inspector general. “That was a dumb decision.”
By 2007, six years after the United States and its allies invaded Afghanistan, the ragtag soldiers of the Afghan Army wore a hodgepodge of uniforms. The United States and its allies have spent millions on overhauling and training Afghanistan’s security forces. Purchasing matching uniforms was one expense.
Abdul Rahim Wardak, then the minister of defense, discovered the camouflage pattern the Pentagon eventually purchased while browsing uniform styles online, according to unnamed Defense Department officials cited in the report.
The forest pattern he settled on was created and owned by HyperStealth Biotechnology Corporation, a Canadian company that has designed camouflage for the militaries of Jordan, Chile and the United Arab Emirates.
The new uniforms also included expensive details like replacing buttons with zippers.
“It’s the totally wrong pattern for a country like Afghanistan. We are in Afghanistan; 98 percent of it is desert,” Mr. Sopko said. “So you would assume you want something that blended with the desert.”
The inspector general’s report found that the Pentagon could have chosen from a number of similar patterns that it owned and were not in use by American forces.
Afghan special forces and several national police units wear uniforms with a pattern owned by the Department of Defense, according to the report.
Altering the army’s uniforms could save the United States between $68.6 million and $72.2 million over the next 10 years, the report said.
Mr. Sopko said the uniforms were one of many needless costs borne by American taxpayers in Afghanistan.
“This is not a one-off. This is not unique,” Mr. Sopko said. “We have too many contracts like this in Afghanistan, where people make stupid decisions, and people are not held accountable and the taxpayer pays.”
The Pentagon did not rebut the findings of the report and said it would conduct a review to find a “more effective alternative” to the current uniforms. | <urn:uuid:7c854851-a320-4330-a5ef-e5c354a82b1e> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/21/world/asia/afghanistan-army-uniform-camouflage.html | 2019-04-24T22:03:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578663470.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20190424214335-20190425000335-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.964358 | 571 |

When a client has problems with substance abuse (e.g., drugs, alcohol, etc.), they may not always use their cash payments in the best interests of the family. When this happens, there may be another family member or a friend who is making sure the
family's needs are being met (i.e., by paying rent, buying food, etc.)
If the Family Community Resource Center has reason to believe the client has a substance abuse problem, and another family member or a friend is making sure the family's needs are met, that person may be a good choice to receive the unit's cash benefits. If you learn of
such a person, see if they are willing to become the unit's protective payee.
When the Family Community Resource Center assigns a protective payee, contact the person suspected of substance abuse. Explain to them why a protective payee was assigned and suggest sources of care, treatment, and services available to overcome substance abuse. | <urn:uuid:2ad11cac-585b-4517-9dfc-2ef61c58563e> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=16696 | 2016-06-26T02:55:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783394605.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154954-00030-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971911 | 195 |

Treasure Me (Liberty #2)
"Highly recommended" by The Midwest Book Review Welcome to Book Two of the Liberty Series where love, friendship, and family life arrive with a second chance in the most heartwarming circumstances. Petty thief Birdie Kaminsky has arrived in Liberty, Ohio to steal a treasure hidden since the Civil War. She's in possession of a charming clue passed down in her family for generations: Liberty safeguards the cherished heart. The beautiful thief wants to go straight. She secretly admires the clue's author, freedwoman Justice Postell, who rose above the horrors of slavery to build a new life in Ohio. According to family lore, Justice left South Carolina at the dawn of the Civil War. Heavy with child, she carried untold riches on her journey north. As Birdie searches for the treasure, she begins to believe a questionable part of the story: a tale of love between Justice and Lucas Postell, the French plantation owner who was Birdie's ancestor. If the stories are true, Justice bore a child with Lucas. Some of those black relatives might still live in town. Birdie can't help but wonder if she's found one-Liberty's feisty matriarch, Theodora Hendricks, who packs a pistol and heartwarming stories about Justice. Birdie doesn't know that an investigative reporter who has arrived in town will trip her up-as will her conscience when she begins to wonder if it's possible to start a new life with stolen riches. Yet with each new clue she unearths, Birdie begins to discover a family history more precious than gems, a tradition of love richer than she could imagine.
The books of The Liberty Series work as stand-alone novels you may enjoy in any order. Look for the other books in the series: Second Chance Grill, The Impossible Wish, Four Wishes and The Tree of Everlasting Knowledge.

Attention, sports fans!
The stars at the 2014 ESPY Awards Wednesday night proved that you can still bring the glamour to an evening all about sports.
First, let's discuss our absolute favorite of the night: Jessica Alba. She lit up the red carpet in a shimmering Elie Saab Haute Couture dress and strappy metallic Brian Atwood sandals. Our score for this ensemble? A perfect ten.
Then there was Chrissy Teigen, who, as always, was a bombshell in a cleavage-baring ensemble. We love that she bucked the trends and opted for a sultry jumpsuit by Elisabetta Franchi. Leave it to Chrissy to take something long-sleeved and make it utterly sexy.
Cameron Diaz kept it simple in a little black dress by Reed Krakoff and strappy Prada sandals, and her hot pink lip added the perfect punch of color.
Maria Sharapova's off-court style is always on point, and she looked especially chic last night in a black Antonio Berardi dress with lace sleeves.
And with all those fab abs on the red carpet, we're glad at least someone flaunted their assets and opted for a crop top! We're talking about stylish athlete Lolo Jones, who looked summery and fresh in a red high-waisted column skirt and crop top combo.
Clearly these athletes and sports fans know how to up the glam factor. Which was your favorite look of the night? | <urn:uuid:94945f73-31d5-4c5c-a567-ff213fac6bcf> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.eonline.com/news/560752/best-dressed-at-the-2014-espy-awards-jessica-alba-chrissy-teigen-more | 2016-04-29T16:47:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860111374.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161511-00143-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.928098 | 312 |
Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Although valproic acid’s mechanism of action has not yet been established, the drug’s anticonvulsant activity may be related to increased brain concentrations of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The effect on the neuronal membrane is unknown.
Valproic acid is rapidly absorbed after oral administration. Peak serum levels occur approximately 1 to 4 hours after a single oral dose. The serum half-life of valproic acid is typically in the range of 6 to 16 hours. Half-lives in the lower part of the above range are usually found in patients taking other antiepileptic drugs. A slight delay in absorption occurs when the drug is administered with meals but this does not affect the total absorption. Valproic acid is rapidly distributed throughout the body and the drug is strongly bound (90%) to human plasma proteins. Increases in dose may result in decreases in the extent of protein binding and variable changes in valproic acid clearance and elimination. The therapeutic plasma concentration range is believed to be from 50 to 100 g/mL. Occasional patients may be controlled with serum levels lower or higher than this range. A good correlation has not been established between daily dose, serum levels and therapeutic effect.
Valproic acid is primarily metabolized in the liver to the glucuronide conjugate. Very little unmetabolized parent drug is excreted in the urine. Elimination of valproic acid and its metabolites occurs principally in the urine, with minor amounts in the feces and expired air.
See Warnings regarding statement on fatal hepatic dysfunction.
Indications And Clinical Uses: As sole or adjunctive therapy in the treatment of simple or complex absence seizures, including petit mal, and is useful in primary generalized seizures with tonic-clonic manifestations. Valproic acid may also be used adjunctively in patients with multiple seizure types which include either absence or tonic-clonic seizures.
Simple absence is defined as a very brief clouding of the sensorium or loss of consciousness (lasting usually 2 to 15 seconds) accompanied by certain generalized epileptic discharges without other detectable clinical signs. Complex absence is the term used when other signs are also present.
Contra-Indications: Patients with hepatic disease or significant dysfunction. Hypersensitivity to valproic acid.
Manufacturers’ Warnings In Clinical States: Hepatic failure resulting in fatalities has occurred in patients receiving valproic acid. These incidences usually have occurred during the first 6 months of treatment with valproic acid.
A recent survey study of valproate use in the United States in nearly 400 000 patients between 1978 and 1984, has shown that children under 2 years of age who received the drug as part of multiple anticonvulsant therapy were at greatest risk (nearly 20 fold increase) of developing fatal hepatotoxicity. These patients typically had other medical conditions such as congenital metabolic disorders, mental retardation or organic brain disease, in addition to severe seizure disorders. The risk in this age group decreased considerably in patients receiving valproate as monotherapy. Similarly, patients aged 3 to 10 years were at somewhat greater risk if they received multiple anticonvulsants than those who received only valproate. Risk generally declined with increasing age. No deaths have been reported in patients over 10 years of age who received valproate alone.
If valproic acid is to be used in children 2 years old or younger, it should be used with extreme caution and as a sole agent. The benefits of seizure control should be weighed against the risk.
Serious or fatal hepatotoxicity may be preceded by non-specific symptoms such as loss of seizure control, malaise, weakness, lethargy, anorexia and vomiting. Patients and parents should be instructed to report such symptoms. Because of the non-specific nature of some of the early signs, hepatotoxicity should be suspected in patients who become unwell, other than through obvious cause, while taking valproic acid.
Liver function tests should be performed prior to therapy and at frequent intervals thereafter especially during the first 6 months. However, physicians should not rely totally on serum biochemistry since these tests may not be abnormal in all instances, but should also consider the results of careful interim medical history and physical examination. Caution should be observed when administering valproic acid to patients with a prior history of hepatic disease. Patients with various unusual congenital disorders, those with severe seizure disorders accompanied by mental retardation, and those with organic brain disease may be at particular risk.
In high-risk patients, it might also be useful to monitor serum fibrinogen and albumin for decrease in concentrations and serum ammonia for increases in concentration. If changes occur, valproic acid should be discontinued. Dosage should be titrated to and maintained at the lowest dose consistent with optimal seizure control.
The drug should be discontinued immediately in the presence of significant hepatic dysfunction, suspected or apparent. In some cases, hepatic dysfunction has progressed in spite of discontinuation of the drug. The frequency of adverse effects, particularly elevated liver enzymes, may increase with increasing doses. Therefore, the benefit gained by improved seizure control by increasing the dosage must be weighed against the increasing incidence of adverse effects sometimes seen at higher dosages.
Pregnancy: According to recent reports in the medical literature, valproic acid may produce teratogenicity in the offspring of human females receiving the drug during pregnancy. The incidence of neural tube defects in the fetus may be increased in the mothers receiving valproic acid during the first trimester of pregnancy. Based upon a single report, it was estimated that the risk of valproic acid exposed women having children with spina bifida is approximately 1.2%. This risk is similar to that which applies to non-epileptic women who have had children with neural tube defects (anencephaly and spina bifida). Animal studies have demonstrated teratogenicity, and studies in human females have demonstrated placental transfer of the drug.
Multiple reports indicate an association between the use of antiepileptic drugs and an elevated incidence of birth defects in children born to epileptic women taking such medication during pregnancy. The incidence of congenital malformations in the general population is regarded to be approximately 2%, in children of treated epileptic women, this incidence may be increased 2 to 3-fold. The increase is largely due to specific defects, e.g., congenital malformations of the heart, cleft lip and/or palate and neural tube defects. Nevertheless, the great majority of mothers receiving anticonvulsant medications deliver normal infants.
Data are more extensive with respect to phenytoin and phenobarbital, the most commonly prescribed anticonvulsants. Some reports indicate a possible similar association with the use of other antiepileptic drugs, including trimethadione, paramethadione and valproic acid. However, the possibility also exists that other factors, e.g., genetic predisposition or the epileptic condition itself, may contribute to, or may be mainly responsible for the higher incidence of birth defects.
Antiepileptic drugs should not be discontinued in patients to whom the drug is administered to prevent major seizures, because of the strong possibility of precipitating status epilepticus with attendant hypoxia and risks to both the mother and the unborn child. The risks of discontinuing drugs given for minor seizures prior to or during pregnancy should be weighed against the risk of congenital defects in the particular case and with the particular family history.
Epileptic women of childbearing age should be encouraged to seek the counsel of their physician and should report promptly to him the onset of pregnancy. Where the necessity for continued use of antiepileptic medication is in doubt, appropriate consultation might be indicated.
Lactation: Valproic acid is secreted in breast milk. Concentrations in breast milk have been reported to be 1 to 10% of serum concentrations. As a general rule, nursing should not be undertaken while a patient is receiving valproic acid.
Fertility: Chronic toxicity studies in juvenile and adult rats and dogs demonstrated reduced spermatogenesis and testicular atrophy at doses greater than 200 mg/kg/day in rats and 90 mg/kg/day in dogs. Segment I fertility studies in rats have shown that doses up to 350 mg/kg/day for 60 days have no effect on fertility. The effect of valproic acid on the development of the testes and on sperm production and fertility in humans is unknown.
Long-term toxicity studies in rats and mice indicate a potential carcinogenic risk.
Precautions: Hepatic dysfunction: See Contraindications and Warnings.
General: Because of reports of thrombocytopenia and inhibition of platelet aggregation, platelet counts and bleeding time determination are recommended before instituting therapy and at periodic intervals. It is recommended that patients be monitored for platelet count prior to planned surgery. Clinical evidence of hemorrhage, bruising or a disorder of hemostasis/coagulation is an indication for reduction of dosage or withdrawal of therapy pending investigation.
Hyperammonemia with or without lethargy or coma has been reported and may be present in the absence of abnormal liver function tests; if elevation occurs the valproic acid should be discontinued.
Because valproic acid may interact with other antiepileptic drugs, periodic serum level determinations of concurrently administered antiepileptics are recommended during the early part of therapy (see Drug Interactions). There have been reports of breakthrough seizures occurring with the combination of valproic acid and phenytoin.
Valproic acid is partially eliminated in the urine as a ketone-containing metabolite which may lead to a false interpretation of the urine ketone test.
There have been reports of altered thyroid function tests associated with valproic acid: the clinical significance of these is unknown.
Valproic acid may produce CNS depression, especially when combined with another CNS depressant such as alcohol.
Occupational Hazards: Patients should be advised not to engage in potentially hazardous occupations such as driving a car or operating dangerous machinery until it is known that they do not become drowsy from the drug.
Drug Interactions: Valproic acid may potentiate the CNS depressant action of alcohol.
There is evidence that valproic acid may cause an increase in serum phenobarbital levels by impairment of non-renal clearance. This phenomenon can result in severe CNS depression. The combination of valproic acid and phenobarbital has also been reported to produce CNS depression without significant elevations of barbiturate or valproic acid serum levels. Patients receiving concomitant barbiturate therapy should be closely monitored for neurological toxicity. Serum barbiturate drug levels should be obtained, if possible, and the barbiturate dosage decreased, if indicated.
Primidone is metabolized into a barbiturate, and therefore, may also be involved in a similar or identical interaction.
There is conflicting evidence regarding the interaction of valproic acid with phenytoin (see Precautions). It is not known if there is a change in unbound (free) phenytoin serum levels. The dose of phenytoin should be adjusted as required by the clinical situation.
The concomitant use of valproic acid and clonazepam may produce absence status.
Caution is recommended when valproic acid is administered with drugs affecting coagulation, e.g., ASA and warfarin (see Adverse Effects).
Adverse Reactions: The most commonly reported adverse reactions are nausea, vomiting and indigestion. Since valproic acid has usually been used with other antiepileptics, in most cases it is not possible to determine whether the adverse reactions mentioned are due to valproic acid alone or to the combination of drugs.
Gastrointestinal: Nausea, vomiting and indigestion are the most commonly reported side effects at the initiation of therapy. These effects are usually transient and rarely require discontinuation of therapy. Diarrhea, abdominal cramps and constipation have also been reported. Anorexia with some weight loss and increased appetite with some weight gain have also been observed.
CNS Effects: Sedative effects have been noted in patients receiving valproic acid alone, but are found most often in patients on combination therapy. Sedation usually disappears upon reduction of other antiepileptic medication. Ataxia, headache, nystagmus, diplopia, asterixis, “spots before the eyes”, tremor, dysarthria, dizziness and incoordination have been noted rarely. Rare cases of coma have been reported in patients receiving valproic acid alone or in conjunction with phenobarbital.
Dermatologic: Transient increases in hair loss have been observed. Skin rash and petechiae have rarely been noted.
Endocrine: There have been reports of irregular menses and secondary amenorrhea in patients receiving valproic acid.
Abnormal thyroid function tests have been reported (see Precautions).
Psychiatric: Emotional upset, depression, psychosis, aggression, hyperactivity and behavioural deterioration have been reported.
Musculoskeletal: Weakness has been reported.
Hematopoietic: Thrombocytopenia has been reported. Valproic acid inhibits the second phase of platelet aggregation (see Precautions). This may be reflected in altered bleeding time. Bruising, hematoma formation and frank hemorrhage have been reported. Relative lymphocytosis and hypofibrinogenemia have been noted. Leukopenia and eosinophilia have also been reported. Anemia and bone marrow suppression have been reported.
Hepatic: Minor elevations of transaminases [(e.g. AST and ALT] and LDH are frequent and appear to be dose related. Occasionally, laboratory tests also show increases in serum bilirubin and abnormal changes in other liver function tests. These results may reflect potentially serious hepatotoxicity (see Warnings).
Metabolic: Hyperammonemia (see Precautions). Hyperglycinemia has been reported and associated with a fatal outcome in a patient with pre-existing nonketotic hyperglycinemia.
Pancreatic: There have been reports of acute pancreatitis occurring in association with valproic acid therapy.
Other: Edema of the extremities has been reported.
Symptoms And Treatment Of Overdose: Symptoms: In a reported case of ingestion of 36 g of valproic acid in combination with phenobarbital and phenytoin, the patient presented in deep coma. An EEG recorded diffuse slowing, compatible with the state of consciousness. The patient made an uneventful recovery.
Treatment: Naloxone has been reported to reverse the CNS depressant effects of valproic acid overdose. Because naloxone could theoretically also reverse the antiepileptic effects of valproic acid it should be used with caution.
As valproic acid is absorbed very rapidly, gastric lavage may be of limited value. Apply general supportive measures with particular attention to the prevention of hypovolemia and the maintenance of adequate urinary output.
Dosage And Administration: Administered orally. The recommended initial dose is 15 mg/kg/day orally, increasing at 1-week intervals by 5 to 10 mg/kg/day until seizures are controlled or side effects preclude further increases. Maximum recommended dose is 60 mg/kg/day. When the total daily dose exceeds 250 mg, it should be given in a divided regimen (see Table I). A 500 mg enteric-coated capsule may be substituted for two 250 mg capsules. The frequency of adverse effects (particularly elevated liver enzymes) may increase with increasing dose. Therefore, the benefit gained by improved seizure control must be weighed against the increased incidence of adverse effects.
As the valproic acid dosage is raised, blood levels of phenobarbital and/or phenytoin may be affected (see Precautions).
Patients who experience gastrointestinal irritation may benefit from administration of valproic acid with food or by a progressive dosage increase from an initial low level. The capsules should be swallowed without chewing to avoid local irritation of the mouth and throat.
Availability And Storage: Capsules: 250 mg: Each orange-colored, soft gelatin capsule contains: valproic acid 250 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: corn oil, ethyl vanillin, FD&C yellow no. 6, gelatin, glycerin, methylparaben, propylparaben and titanium dioxide. Alcohol-, gluten-, lactose-, sucrose-, sulfite- and tartrazine-free. Bottles of 100 and 500.
500 mg: Each pale yellow, oval, soft gelatin enteric coated capsule contains: valproic acid 500 mg.

Alcohol-, gluten-, lactose-, sucrose- and sulfite-free. Bottles of 100 and 500.
Syrup: Each 5 mL of red syrup contains: the equivalent of 250 mg valproic acid, as the sodium salt. Nonmedicinal ingredients: artificial flavor, glycerin, hydrochloric acid, methylparaben, propylparaben, Red Amaranth Canadian Certified Food Color, sodium hydroxide, sorbitol, sucrose and vanillin. Energy: 74.08 kJ (17.70 kcal)/5 mL. Alcohol-, gluten-, lactose-, sulfite- and tartrazine-free. Bottles of 450 mL.

“But women just aren’t funny!”
It’s a trope almost as old as misogyny itself. Yeah, we know it sounds like we’re pandering. Oh well — if you clicked on this article with the headline above, you had to be expecting it. But our point is the funniest female comics can stand against their male counterparts any day. And any guy who says otherwise is probably bitter over losing a gig to a girl.
Don’t get us wrong. We think there are plenty of women who are totally unfunny. Just like we think the same about a whole bunch of men. Even some of those who make their living being “funny” strike us as pretty dull. But if you’re being honest, you have to admit that a sense of humor doesn’t discriminate.
The funniest female comics face unique struggles.
But once they get a microphone and an audience willing to give them a chance, they shine. And that’s the true test of an entertainer, no matter the genre or gender. So in a way, the funniest female comics are pioneers in an industry becoming more integrated. At the same time, they also represent so many other experiences. Overcoming obstacles to achieve a dream? Yeah, sounds like something almost anybody could appreciate.
Now let us get off of our soapbox and let the women do the hard part of making you people laugh. First of all, here are a few factors we considered:
- A wide audience – We’re not saying everybody has to laugh in order to be funny. But whatever your gender, you have to have broad (pun only partially intended) appeal.
- A great perspective – Again, you can talk about the same thing as everybody else, but what’s the spin? If you’re regurgitating old premises all day, even if it’s kinda funny, we’ll pass.
- A deep set – Some comics talk about everything. Others focus one one or two topics. Whatever the funniest female comics do, it goes deeper than the surface.
Of course, these are the same criteria we use for judging male comics. What? Did you think it would be different for women. That’s pretty sexist of you, but we’ll let it slide.
After a lengthy period of research, we were able to select the funniest female comics.
Okay, fine. We just sat around for a while and thought about the women who make us laugh. But that’s about the closest to a scientific study you can expect from us. Take it or leave it, here’s what we got.
As usual, we present our findings in no particular order. And if we left off your favorite, we’re sure it was just a clerical error.
1. Kathleen Madigan
Whether she’s discussing her family’s antics or whatever minutiae has her upset that day, she’s hilarious. Kathleen Madigan is certainly one of the funniest female comics. After proving herself in all types of arenas, we think she’s up there among the best of all time. She’s entertained the troops and audiences around the world. But the biggest testament might be her biggest fans: fellow comedians who think she’s brilliant.
2. Whoopi Goldberg
Most of her fans from this millennium probably know her best from “The View.” And we’re glad she got the deserved steady gig. But if you don’t remember her as one of the funniest female comics, you’re missing out. She dominated the circuit for much of the ’80s and ’90s. And that was back when competition was tighter than ever. She combined a fierce and fearless style with clever, quality punchlines. That quick and biting wit makes an appearance on “The View.” But we wish she’d put together another stand-up special! Oh, and her participation in the Comic Relief charity series is another plus.
3. Ellen DeGeneres
She’s another one who has found a great home on television screens every weekday. But she injects her rapid fire wit into every episode. And we don’t necessarily give extra points for bringing people together, but she does. She’s one of the most likable celebrities we can think of. But it’s her status as one of the funniest female comics in memory that we’re thankful for.
4. Rosie O’Donnell
We’ve got a fun fact about Rosie O’Donnell. She’s more than an applause line during the second hour of Donald Trump’s latest rally in Possum Neck, Alabama. She made a reputation as one of the funniest female comics in the circuit. Then she built on her acting career, got a talk show and became an icon. She might be known for her political musings these days. But her comedic chops are still on display all the time. And we’ve got tons of classic clips like the one below.
5. Paula Poundstone
So much of her career has resonated with us through the years. But it all converges with the unique angle of her stand-up routines. Paula Poundstone truly is one of the funniest female comics we’ve seen. She was one of the hilarious voices bringing the “Home Movies” animated scripts to life. And her appearances on NPR are among the main reasons we sit through so much Mozart.
The funniest female comics: Honorable mentions
Just because we don’t necessarily consider many favorites among the top, we like their style. And there are a few categories, along with several comics within them, that we felt deserved attention.
- The oldies – Frankly, we stuck to comedians whose prime occurred in our lifetimes. That means hilarious women like Phyllis Diller and Joan Rivers didn’t make the cut.
- The overachievers – There are women like Iliza Shlesinger and Amy Schumer who seem to always be working. Stand-up specials, tours and movies keep them busy — and keep fans laughing.
- The ‘others’ – Since we’re focused on stand-up for this list, a lot of funny women are left out. From writing to sketch comedy, Tina Fey, Carol Burnett and many others led the way. | <urn:uuid:cafeee87-abaa-4643-a318-28d85e1311fe> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://theextract.net/2018/08/12/funniest-female-comics/ | 2018-10-17T05:18:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583510998.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20181017044446-20181017065946-00326.warc.gz | en | 0.955744 | 1,360 |

I can sleep, when I´m dead! Or that´s probably what my baby thinks :D. She´s sleeping for short periods during the day and waking up continuously during the night. Exhausting! But I´m definitely loosing all my baby weight this way... and something more I guess.
Also, muy husband was cleaning his office and gave me a table, so that I could use it for my sewing machines! Isn´t that great? Now I have two tables, but I´m still not really sure which one of them is more suitable for machines... Anyway, I have more place for working now :). | <urn:uuid:98e1d15f-b22e-4a34-9f55-cfbfaeb7af00> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://jan-ul.blogspot.com/2012/07/sleeping-no-thanks.html | 2017-05-25T16:09:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608107.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525155936-20170525175936-00047.warc.gz | en | 0.973589 | 132 |
Lally: In the same boat as you Ronnie, was getting around the same on ADSL as you.
My spectrum looks fairly similar to yours however I'm syncing less than you currently on my VDSL connection.
Still yet to get a sparky around to run cable directly from the ETP to where I want the gear set up.
I'm hoping it is the wiring that will improve my sync speeds.
How old is the subdivision you are living in, my one is around 5 years old so surely the copper wouldn't be so substandard?
I would still run temp cable from ETP to modem.. before getting sparky around.. that will tell you if its a wiring issue or not..

From the German Truck maker. Excludes trailer. Meant for transporting goods over long distances.
About this creation
The newspaper carsguide reviewed this truck and I decided to make it out of lego. All my black pieces were used, as you can see in a picture below, I used red after the black ran out. I figured it'd look silly if I used a different colour to make a trailer.
Like the real thing, the cabin lifts up to reveal the engine. V8, diesel, lots of torque with 680 horses, hence the name; TGX 680. | <urn:uuid:8f9397f7-39e3-4506-bb24-e9d7c357fbff> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/43795 | 2013-12-10T03:14:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164006791/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204133326-00083-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.917262 | 119 |

Dust Hikes Incidence of Allergies: Doctors
- Hits: 1525
07 May 2010
The dust cover might have sheltered the city from scorching heat, however, the high density of dust particles in the atmosphere has increased the incidence of allergies among masses. Doctors advise people to avoid undue exposure to the dusty winds and stay indoors during dust storms.
“Dust particles can cause allergies in eyes, respiratory system and the probability of asthma patients becoming unstable in–creases by nearly 25%,” said Dr Narendra Khippal, who is professor at SMS Medical College. “It is advisable to use sun shades and dual layer mask in case a person has to go out when the dust content is high in the atmosphere,” he added.
According to doctors, dust particles of 3–7 micron cause most of the respiratory allergies. “These particles stick to the cells of the respiratory system causing irritation, coughing and inflammation of the lungs,” Dr Khippal said.
“In case the patient has a history of bronchitis, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases they must be provided medical care,” he added.
The cases of allergic conjunctivitis are common during such weather; the symptoms are higher in people with other signs of allergic diseases such as hay fever, asthma and eczema.
Conjunctivitis is caused by antigens like pollen, dust mites or cosmetics and causes an inflammation of the mucous membranes covering the white of the eyes and the inner side of the eyelids, according to specialist doctors in city. It usually occurs in both eyes of the patient causing redness, itching and water flow. | <urn:uuid:a9c2012c-6bbe-48a8-abe5-9d58fb9ab0b3> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://www.aarogya.com/news-and-updates/year-2010/dust-hikes-incidence-of-allergies-doctors.html/ | 2018-09-24T21:29:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267160754.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20180924205029-20180924225429-00153.warc.gz | en | 0.93626 | 346 |

Apr. 11—The Hamilton Police Department will have its first new home in about 50 years next year when the Justice Center opens in late summer or early fall of 2024.
And for the first time in more than two decades, the police department will be in the same building as the Hamilton Municipal Court.
On Wednesday afternoon, city officials will break ground on the $32 million project, which will construct a new 64,000-square-foot police and court building on Hanover Street across from the Butler County Jail. Nearly a third of the funds ― $10 million ― will come from the city’s ARPA funds from the federal government.
The remaining funds will be borrowed, which Hamilton City Council approved this past fall.
City officials said the project would save the city upward of $300,000 annually and reduce inefficiencies as the courts and the police department will be in the same building. The last time the two departments were in the same building was before the Government Services Center was constructed.
When the courts moved in 2000, the city had to duplicate holding facilities and booking areas, which forced the police department to run two operations. In addition to consolidating those features and others, the departments will also be close to the Butler County jail, which will benefit in transporting prisoners.
Right now, the court and police department are about a mile from the county jail, which Police Chief Craig Bucheit previously told the Journal-News, « It’s not ideal. »
Hamilton Public Safety Director Scott Scrimizzi said the city’s been talking about a justice center project for the better part of 25 years as the police department has long outgrown the space. The police department on South Front Street was a converted former Kroger building. The interior was retrofitted to be split by the police and courts.
The city had conducted a couple of feasibility studies related to a one-stop shop for the police and courts, the first one in 2001. It was refreshed in 2014 and completed in 2016. The city had purchased the former Hamilton Tool property and other parcels on Hanover Street between South 7th Street and East Avenue.
Construction on the Justice Center project should start soon after the groundbreaking. The property is already cordoned off with chain-link fencing, and construction trailers are on site. Scrimizzi said they’ve looked at other police agencies, such as the Fairfield Justice Center, as well as newer facilities, like the Cincinnati Police Department’s District 3 and the Monroe and Sharonville police departments.
« We want it to be user-friendly. We want a good, functional facility that’s going to last, » Scrimizzi had told the Journal-News.

Italian Grilled Turkey Breast and Vegetables is a healthy dinner made entirely on the grill!
To keep the kitchen cool (and uncluttered), I do my best to make summer dinners totally on the grill! Making this grilled turkey cutlet recipe couldn't be easier, and you can make this turkey recipe year-round.
I used turkey breast cutlets, which are thinly sliced cuts of fresh turkey breast. Think of them like thin pork chops!
To give this turkey cutlets recipe a ton of flavor and make the lean meat juicier, I marinade the turkey in Italian dressing for at least an hour before before throwing them on the grill.
While the turkey cutlets marinade in the dressing, I light up the grill and get to work cutting up the vegetables.
You can absolutely substitute vegetables out for what you have on hand. I typically use some summer squash (yellow or zucchini), onion, asparagus, grape tomatoes and mushrooms.
Yes, you can absolutely substitute thin cut chicken breast, pork chops or veal cutlets for the thin turkey cutlets in this recipe without adjusting the cook times. You can also use turkey tenderloins, but will need to adjust the cook time to 5-7 minutes per side.
I have also used this method with chicken wings!
Tips for Perfect Grilled Turkey Breast Cutlets
Turkey Breast Cutlets are cut thin, just like thin, butterfly cut chicken breasts or pork chops. This makes grilling these cutlets a breeze! But, they are a super lean cut of meat, so we need to take some steps to make sure they don't dry out.
To add flavor and make them extra tender, I'd recommend marinating them in a marinade of your choice for a minimum of an hour before grilling them. I chose Italian dressing. You can also make your own marinade using soy sauce or red wine vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder and Italian herbs.
Any oil based Italian dressing is a great choice! It does not have to be an expensive dressing since you're only using it for the marinade.
I grilled these turkey breasts cutlets directly over high heat for about two minutes per side, with the lid off.
I prefer to leave the lid off for quick grills, to let the flames lick up through the grates. It will give you some great charred flavor!
You want to be sure to grill turkey breast to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. I always recommend using a temperature probe the first few times you grill with a new cut of meat until you get the hang of it.
Tips for Perfect Grilled Vegetables
I always advocate for using the vegetables that you have on hand. So, regardless of the vegetables you use, you'll want to make sure the veggies you use are all cut to a similar thickness so that they're done around the same time.
In this recipe for grilled vegetables, I sliced the yellow squash, portabella mushrooms and onions to a similar thickness. I left the grape tomatoes whole and trimmed the asparagus.
I greased my grill basket, added the veggies, drizzled with olive oil and seasonings, and then grilled over high heat for about 12 minutes. You'll want to leave the lid on when the veggies are cooking! If you don't have a grill basket, go ahead and make an aluminum foil packet for the vegetables, just poke a few holes in the top to vent!
You can also use a disposable aluminum pan.
This Italian Grilled Turkey Breast is perfect for entertaining and also for easy family dinners on weeknights! I love to serve this great dinner with crusty bread and a Julie's Italian House Salad.
I hope that you make the absolute most of this grilling season, and if you make this easy grilled turkey recipe, leave me a note in the comments!
- 1.5 pounds turkey breast cutlets
- 14 ounces Italian dressing (oil and vinegar type)
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (or thyme, rosemary, parsley)
For the grilled vegetables:
- 1 yellow squash, sliced into medallions
- 4 ounces portabella mushroom, sliced
- ½ pound thin asparagus, trimmed
- 10 ounces grape tomatoes, whole
- ½ packet Italian dressing seasoning mix (like Good Seasons Zesty Italian)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Place turkey cutlets in a container or Ziploc bag. Pour marinade (Italian dressing) over the top of the turkey. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour to marinade.
- Prepare the grill to high heat, between 400 and 450 degrees F.
- Remove turkey from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before grilling.
- Prep vegetables and add to grill basket, foil pan or aluminum foil basket. Drizzle olive oil over the top to moisten the vegetables, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the top. Toss well to coat.
- Grill over direct heat, covered, for about 12 minutes. Toss vegetables with tongs about halfway through the cook time.
- Remove vegetables from grill and squeeze lemon juice over the top, toss again to combine.
- Add turkey breast and grill directly over high heat for about 2 minutes per side, to 165 degrees Fahrenheit using an instant read meat thermometer.
- Top with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
If you use an aluminum foil packet, slice a few holes in the top of the packet to vent. If you use a grill basket. you'll want to place it on a baking sheet before drizzling the olive oil. Save yourself the mess! 🙂
You can use a charcoal grill or gas grill for this recipe. You can also sear the turkey in a large skillet if your grilling plans change!

Chair's corner: Looking sideways
By all accounts 2016 has been an eventful year. Internationally, Brexit and the US Presidential elections that was recently concluded, come to mind for their seismic implications about how global co-operation, trade, and free exchange of people and ideas across borders will be affected. While these implications are yet to be fully made manifest, it is clear that there is a rising trend of turning inwards and a preference to make ‘us and them’ distinctions, rather than to look outwards and to choose understanding in order to see a more holistic ‘we’.
Equally obvious is that there are people and groups who, legitimately or otherwise, feel that their voices have not been heard and there are people and groups who would seek to use that sentiment for their self-serving agendas. In all this, I believe that the IAF can be a force for good in our countries, societies, and local communities simply because we stand for respect, diversity, dialogue, and collaboration.
How can an association of about 1700 persons make impact on a complex world of 6 billion people? I suggest 3 ways in which we can be more effective in doing so, by looking sideways from my experience as an avid long-distance cyclist:
1. Pacing matters
When I cycle two abreast with my friends, one of the things that can make or break the larger group’s cycling experience is when one of the leading pair starts to ‘half-wheel’. This is when the rider starts to push forward ‘half-a-wheel’ more than his partner. This doesn’t seem like an issue, except that it sets up a competitive momentum which not only pulls the partner rider forward, but every rider behind who tries to keep up, inevitably leaving the slower riders behind. Furthermore, half-wheeling on a turn could result in a nasty crash for the pair because of the possibility of overlapping wheels touching.
The object lesson here for us in the IAF is to keep aware of our pace in growing and progressing across regions and chapters, consciously building trust and capacity to do more together. This is not to say that regions, chapters and new initiatives that are breaking new ground should be held back. Rather, it is really about being in good connection together. One idea might be to have a twinning programme for established chapters to connect with new ones would be useful to put in place in the coming year.
2. Partners matter
When we look sideways, we can also chance on fellow ‘travellers’ - individuals and groups, who are on a parallel journey of their own. The value of these fellow travellers would be their respective lessons that we can learn vicariously from.
As an association, we are constantly on the lookout for valuable strategic partnerships and we have already embarked on a few this year with the Institute for Cultural Affairs, IMEX Exhibitions, and we will be announcing another one soon. We are also continuing our dialogue with the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation after our sponsorship of their 2016 Conference in October to establish new areas of collaboration to do more together.
3. Pause for understanding
Any road-user will tell you that collisions are likelier to happen at traffic junctions. As a cyclist riding on busy Singapore streets and roads, I always approach junctions with greater care, making sure that cars come to a complete stop before I cycle across. At the same time, I make sure that the driver in the car next to me is aware that I am there before he heads off too.
A momentary, complete stop is sometimes essential for sense-making about our changing environment to take place. This pause is not just useful for its own sake. Rather, the resultant understanding helps in collective decision-making about what is around us and how we should be as a profession and as an association to be in synchronicity with what the world needs us to be.
In the January 2017 Chair’s Corner, I will focus on ‘Looking Forward’. On behalf of the 2016 Board, I bid you and yours Season’s Greetings and a bountiful 2017 ahead!

Combine the convenience of the cloud with the security of the on-premise solution with GitStorage, the premiere way to store your projects on a cloud that is strictly for your eyes only. Instead of placing your valuable source code and intellectual property in the hands of major cloud services — which are not only expensive, but also vulnerable to cyber attacks and third-party monitoring that place your data in the hands of your competitors — GitStorage allows users to take control of their own cloud and thus their own property.
Set up your personal git server, and get access to their web interface where you can create custom repositories, import third-party repositories, and control the flow of people who have access to content on your server. All data is then backed up on a personal cloud only accessible to those on your on-premise server. Now, the only way to your precious data is through both network access and an encryption password.
No subscriptions. No vulnerability. No unwanted oversight. No hassle. You’re now free to code, create and collaborate in a safer and easier way.
The GitStorage is an easy-to-install unit based on a modified version of the Raspberry Pi. The in-built SD card stores the OS, software, and configuration data, while the repositories and cloud-based activity exist on a encrypted partition. This single board computer (SBC) unit is as small and sleek as a credit card, able to be placed on any surface such as on a wall or under a desk. It is ideal for startup companies and other small-to-medium-sized development teams that wish to keep unwanted eyes from seeing, sharing or stealing their source code. Two versions of the GitStorage exist to address each company’s individual needs: a 16 GB version which can store up to ten users, and a 64 GB version which has no user limit. Purchase of a GitStorage includes a free year of software updates.get it here | <urn:uuid:172b08ec-5fda-462a-96a4-918ad2893e74> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://populapp.net/gitstorage-brings-your-cloud-back-down-to-earth/ | 2019-10-18T01:13:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986677412.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20191018005539-20191018033039-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.927239 | 396 |

Some jurisdictions, together with the U. S. state governments of Iowa[eighty one] and Washington, have passed legal guidelines criminalizing some types of adware. These kinds of legal guidelines produce it unlawful for anyone other than the particular owner or user of a laptop or computer to install software application that alters Web-browser settings, displays pressed keys, or disables pc-security computer program. The Glass windows Registry accommodates multiple segments the place changes of critical values permits software to be executed quickly when the main system boots. Spyware can exploit this design and style to avoid will try00 at reduction. The spyware and adware usually will certainly link by itself from every location within the registry that enables execution.
Comprehending the Economics of Ransomware
Gathered June tough luck, 2006. Lawsuits has gone the two ways. Seeing that “spy ware” has become a typical pejorative, a lot of makers have got filed libel and defamation actions when ever their products have been thus described. In 2003, Gator (now often known as Claria) filed suit against the website COMPUTER Pitstop for the purpose of describing its course as “spy ware”. PERSONAL COMPUTER Pitstop settled, agreeing in order to use the key phrase “spyware”, but continues to express hurt attributable to the Gator/Claria software program.[ninety two] As a consequence, other anti-adware and anti virus companies have also used numerous terms comparable to “doubtlessly unwanted programs” or perhaps greyware to point these products.
Studies indicate that average requirements hovered rounded $300 in the mid-2000s, but are averaging rounded $500 today. Usually, a deadline is definitely assigned to get cost, and if the deadline passes by, the ransom demand doubles or information happen to be destroyed or perhaps permanently locked.
The actual selection of ransomware problems and costs are much higher. In reality, there were an estimated 184 , 000, 000 ransomware assaults last yr only. Ransomware was originally designed to focus on persons, who still comprise most assaults immediately.
Always keep the operating system and applications up-to-date. The plug-ins related together with your browser can even contain secureness vulnerabilities. To be sure you have the latest versions, manage the Computer Optimism device to verify invest plug-ins and their variations.

Nevertheless , a have a look at with SpyBot Search & Destroy, performed on The fall of 20, 2009 after investing in FlashGet three or more did not present any malware on an already anti-spy ware immunized system (by SpyBot and SpywareBlaster).
Given the development of ransomware and assault campaigns, it’s not shocking that one of the most important ransomware assaults occurred in recent years. Ransom demands are also rising.
thirteen+ Indicators that Your Computer is Malware-Infected [Updated 2019]
- Finally, we take a glance at where ransomware is went in 2018 and outside.
- If you probably can’t enter the renewal screens, you should use the Home windows set up press (disc or perhaps USB drive) in your certain version/edition to view the recuperation instruments.
- At that time, download and install a security product and run a complete scan.
- The most important risk to social media essential safety is actually our self.

Area and update your software program. Ransomware usually relies on exploit products to gain dubious access to a process or network (e. g. GandCrab).
Consider the background of ransomware, the most terrible ransomware episodes, and the upcoming for this danger. If you’re functioning a computer with Microsoft Home windows, we incredibly beneficial you can have some type of antivirus and spyware and adware or or spyware protection. This software can easily remove any kind of present viruses and spy ware, and it assists prevent foreseeable future infections. When you or somebody in your laptop or computer connects to a file distribution network (e. g., BitTorrent), and copyrighted music, videos, or software is downloaded or shared, you may be in danger. Sometimes these kinds of recordsdata and programs incorporate viruses, spyware and adware, trojans, or perhaps malicious software program in addition to what you consider you’re downloading.
Watch out for these types of malware infection signs about computer systems operating Windows!
Cybercriminals at the moment are using hacking attacks and insider assaults to achieve gain access to to endpoints and extract knowledge in the organisations network – bringing about an information breach. A knowledge break during which the data is performed for ransom is totally different from a Ransomware attack.
Recognize an attack look out for choices that can both equally defend low packages right from threats (an anti-exploit know-how) as well as wedge ransomware from holding recordsdata hostage (an anti-ransomware component). Customers who was simply utilizing the premium type of Malwarebytes for the purpose of Windows, for example , had been secured from all the main ransomware attacks of 2017. Each denying that windows could be tremendous pushchair because it’s quite prone to trojan attacks to protect your device and spyware infections.
With this malware risk, you have to put in extensive precautions on easy methods to prevent ransomware approaches to keep from knowledge loss and any malware-related infection. You can even try looking to find a reputable encoding software which may establish not known and malevolent information in your community that can maintain you 1 step forward in stopping ransomware attacks. Do not ever let any malicious document continue to live in your pc to forestall ransomware assaults coming from hitting both you and impede coping with cyberthieves that may probably trigger you to burn some enormous cash. Ransomware is a malevolent software program used by cyberthieves to encrypt important knowledge away of your pc and extort cash from you in exchange to regain obtain to your info.
Ransomware typically restricts use of the data in infected machines until the ransom is paid out. A info breach however is a safety incident where sensitive or perhaps confidential data is copied and thieved from the enterprise, it could in that case be utilized in lots of ways both pertaining to monetary gain and also to trigger injure. Being some of the harmful and widely pass on malware in the planet, ransomware undeniably brought extortion right into a world level. | <urn:uuid:f50d2c49-acd9-4b7f-84fa-84333fa04a6f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://whmcs.host/examine-it-list-how-to-forestall-spyware/ | 2022-01-22T14:25:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303864.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122134127-20220122164127-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.930535 | 1,364 |
“You know, they string up the flags just for me!”
That’s what my great-grandfather Neil Regan used to say on Flag Day, June 14th. Cornelius “Neil” Regan was born on June 14, 1873 in Fisherville, New Hampshire, the oldest child of John and Mary (Quinn) Regan. He lived much of his life in the Clontarf area, arriving in Tara Township with his parents and siblings in 1879. After years on the farm, he moved into Clontarf in 1921 where he lived for over twenty years before moving to Minneapolis in the early 1940s to live with his son John – my grandpa. There he would stay until he passed away in 1951.
My mom, Eileen, remembers a dapper grandfather, dressed in a three-piece-suit every day and smelling of Listerine – Neil used Listerine to soothe pinching from too-tight nose pads on his glasses. Grandpa Neil read books to my mom. Her favorites were the Little Lulu comic books. Neil would say he had a genius on his hands when Eileen would take her turn and “read” these books to him. This was before she even started kindergarten. Of course, she wasn’t actually reading the books, she just memorized them!
Mom said Neil was a quiet man, very mild-mannered. Most days, weather permitting, Neil would take the streetcar downtown to play cards in the park with the other old guys. Neil was also devout. His nephew Gerald Regan recalls seeing Neil, kneeling next to a chair on the back porch early in the morning saying his rosary. He continued this practice his entire life. Mom recalled waiting for Neil to come out of his room in the morning while he finished up his prayers.
Gerald also remembers when my grandpa John would ask for money when he was young, Neil would get up, walk away, and pull out his wallet, inspecting its contents carefully before selecting the bills and handing them to John. Gerald always thought this a bit odd, but Neil was a very deliberate man, so he didn’t think too much about it. Only later did Gerald realize that Neil was not being circumspect at all, but rather the cataracts on his eyes made it impossible for him to see the bills in his wallet unless he had the light from the window.
Shortly after Neil moved to Minneapolis he had the cataracts removed at the University of Minnesota. My grandma remembered how Neil exclaimed, “It’s a miracle! I can see!” Apparently all those early morning rosaries paid off!
When Neil passed away on June 30, 1951, his wake was held at home. This was the only wake my mom ever remembered being in a home – by the 1950s the convention was to hold wakes at the funeral home. The front bedroom was cleared of furniture to make room for his casket and after waking for two nights, Neil returned to Clontarf, where he was buried next to his wife, Annie.
When I see the flags decorating the porches and the boulevards in my neighborhood today, I will smile to myself and think it is all for my great-grandfather Neil. Another of my Irish American favorites. | <urn:uuid:ac2a9254-f970-4598-b599-6c6d0495d708> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://theirishinamerica.com/tag/cards/ | 2020-10-20T20:40:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107874135.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20201020192039-20201020222039-00440.warc.gz | en | 0.987818 | 687 |

Al-Shabaab gives telecom companies 15 days to shut down the Internet or face attacks
The terror group regularly uses the Internet, and has a major presence on social media
"We will not allow our citizens to be deprived of Internet access," interior minister says
Somalia warned telecommunications companies Saturday not to comply with an Islamist terror group’s order to shut down the Internet nationwide.
Al-Shabaab, the rebel group behind years of chaos and violence in the nation, banned the use of the Internet this week. It gave Internet providers 15 days to comply or face attacks.
But the interior ministry urged companies to disregard the threat.
“The Somali government strongly condemns such acts which show continued brutality and terrorist tactics of intimidation by trying to ban Somalis from using the Internet,” minister Abdikarim Hussein Guled said in a statement. “Our constitution guarantees freedom of expression and every citizen has the right to access information without fear.”
Main telecommunication companies Hormund and Telsom were not immediately available for comment.
“Al-Shabaab has lost control of the major cities of Somalia and are now trying to terrorize people and stop them using the Internet,” the minister said. “We will not allow our citizens to be deprived of Internet access and smartphones.”
The terror group is notorious for prohibiting recreational activities, and has banned films, dancing and watching soccer in the past. It had also barred foreign aid organizations from southern Somalia, describing them as Western spies and Christian crusaders.
Al-Shabaab regularly uses the Internet. It has a major presence on social media, and posted the threat on its Facebook page.
The radical Islamist group, which controls parts of Somalia, has said it aims to turn the country into a fundamentalist Islamist state. | <urn:uuid:4daed3fe-f5cc-4210-8d1c-d77e0729446d> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.cnn.com/2014/01/11/world/africa/somalia-shabaab-internet-shutdown/ | 2021-05-06T16:33:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243988758.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20210506144716-20210506174716-00240.warc.gz | en | 0.930745 | 376 |
Home Rent Policies & Processes
Renting an apartment or a home can be a much better idea than purchasing, particularly when you’re not positive how long you could remain in a geographic region. But letting any home component isn’t always simpler than investing in a house, warns the California Department of Real Estate. Your prospective landlord will consider several measures to make sure you also can restrict what actions it is possible to do within the house and are the most effective candidate for the home component.
Landlords perform background checks on potential renters, notes the California Department of Real Estate. This practice is any adults who live in the flat unit or home, although n’t only restricted to the lease signer. Landlords can lawfully review criminal background and the credit and also make rental refusals according to adverse advice. People who have a small credit history or negative credit generally must supply more hefty security deposits or a cosigner to be able to successfully locate home that is rental.
National and state laws prohibit home discrimination according to particular variables, as stated by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Fair Housing Act and California legislation ban landlords and discrimination, respectively based on sexual preference. But landlords nevertheless can refuse home to candidates who don’t bring in enough cash to easily spend the monthly lease, warns the California Department of Real Estate. Additionally, while age is a protected class under national and state laws, a couple of exceptions apply. For example, state-authorized senior citizen home can refuse applicants according to age.
You as well as your landlord will sign a lease once you’re authorized to reside in a rental home component. A lease is a legally-binding document; its real conditions may differ based upon your agreement with all the landlord. Generally, leases need 12 months of constant occupancy; month-to-month or six-month leases can be found but might incur month-to-month rents that are greater than these leases with durations that are lengthier. Fundamental info is also covered by the lease such as who is able to live on the house, if any peaceful hrs are in-effect for the home community and whether animals are allowed. It also needs to summarize the way soon you may get it refunded as soon as you go from the unit and what prices could possibly be deducted out of your security deposit. In the event you break any facet of the lease, the landlord can sue you and in a few events possess a court ruling your eviction from your home. | <urn:uuid:e2cf7faa-9d9c-4bbb-9ad7-0b0e8aea3714> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://www.butter-ny.com/home-rent-policies-processes | 2018-03-19T05:00:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257646375.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319042634-20180319062634-00210.warc.gz | en | 0.952636 | 509 |

Did man really go to the moon?
Um, Mars is farther away than the moon. The outer planets are even farther.
Thank you Dagney for bringing some current accomplishments to the discussion!
I know man has gone to the moon.
I've drunk Tang.
The only price worth paying for allowing that abomination to exist is that it was developed for the astronauts who went to the moon.
Can someone elaborate?
The shuttle program was a step in a different direction entirely. Even if we wanted to resurrect the Saturn V, Command module, Lunar module and all the various accoutrements and support systems. (As opposed to a complete redesign) we would not want to reuse the primitive 60's era technology and tooling.
So yes, he's right in a sense. It's not that we wouldn't know how to go back. It's that even with modern technology and manufacturing techniques, there would be a lot of preliminary work before it would even be a possibility.
I've researched the subject and couldn't give a monkeys. I won't be here in 100 years time. In millions more the bleedin' sun will explode and destroy the earth and Moon. It's all bloody meaningless.
Wiser words could not be said. I had a death in the family this week (91 years old), and I couldn't help thinking this exact same thought. From a personal perspective this is truly all meaningless. The only meaningful thing in life, is simply to live as much as you an while you are around.
l also agree to many people get their knickers in a knot over trivial mundane BS.
If you find the discussion without meaning perhaps youd be happier not visiting the thread?
lt's interesting to note that a modern smart phone has more computer power than all of nasa back in 1969.

in seals and sea lions: how can they dive so deep?"
The physiological limits to diving in marine mammals focus on two restrictions: how long
can the animal breath-hold and how deep can it dive? Within these limits, animals hunt by
choosing a foraging strategy that balances the obligate costs with the potential energetic gains
of foraging. In order to incorporate a more complete picture of the physiological and
biochemical limitations to diving into optimal foraging models for diving mammals, this
research is examining red blood cell membrane changes and non-glycolytic pathway
responses to increased hydrostatic pressure.

"Investigating the Merging of Ionotropic and Metabotropic Signals at the Ionotropic Kainate
Neurotransmission at chemical synapses is carried out by two distinct classes of receptors-
ionotropic and metabotropic. Ionotropic receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that respond
to neurotransmitters by allowing ion flux across cell membranes. Metabotropic receptors,
however, mediate neurotransmission less directly by activating second messenger molecules
which subsequently modulate cellular communication. Contemporary models of
neurotransmission maintain that the signals evoked by ionotropic and metabotropic receptors
are autonomous and exclusive. Recent data, however, suggests that kainate receptors,
members of the ionotropic glutamate receptor family, may be capable of initiating both
ionotropic and metabotropic signals. This research is elucidating the merging of these
distinct signaling pathways by (1) reconstituting the putative pathway in a heterologous
expression system; and (2) identifying proteins that directly interact with the ionotropic
kainate receptors as potential mediators of metabotropic coupling. These aims are being
achieved by utilizing Xenopus oocyte expression and yeast two-hybrid screening,

Cash Wedding Registry
Learn benefits of a cash
registry and how to ask for monetary gifts for your wedding
Many engaged couples start a gift registry for their wedding. But what if you already have a fully furnished home or (gasp!) you donít actually want any traditional wedding registry items? In that case, thereís one gift that everyone needs and appreciates - cash.
The truth is most brides and grooms prefer cash, but they donít know how to ask for money as a wedding gift because they think that it will come out sounding crude. So, how do you ask for monetary gifts for your wedding? The easy answer is by opening a cash wedding registry.
Nowadays you can open a free cash wedding registry online from a cash registry company (like Wishing Well.) This way you can let your guests give you monetary wedding gifts in an easy and appropriate way. Lots of guests already give monetary wedding gifts in the form of checks or discreet envelopes handed to the bride and groom on their wedding day.
Online cash wedding registries make it even easier by giving guests a secure and simple way to give monetary gifts. Also, by registering at an online cash registry, youíll be subtly letting guests know you prefer to receive cash in lieu of traditional registry gifts.
How To Ask For Money As A Wedding Gift
You may be thinking: ďthatís great, but how do I actually ask for money as a wedding gift?Ē Well, hereís how it works. First you get registered online with a free cash wedding registry. The sign up usually only takes a few minutes and just involves entering basic information.
Next you start spreading the word that youíre registered Ė and this is where monetary wedding gifts etiquette comes in. Itís not inappropriate to ask for money as a wedding gift, the key is to do it in a polite and subtle manner.
You can place
your cash registry information on your personal wedding
webpage, on an insert in your bridal shower or wedding invitation or
you can let people know about your cash registry by word of mouth.
The key is to refrain from ďaskingĒ for cash, rather if people want
to know what you want as a wedding gift, you subtly let them know.
Benefits of Having a Cash Wedding Registry
Itís easy to set up your cash wedding registry. Instead of spending hours in retail stores scanning items to add to your registry, you can complete your cash wedding registry in a matter of minutes. That way you donít have to agonize over what to put in your registry and youíll have more time to spend on other part of your wedding.
Your cash registry is FREE to create. Usually when you sign up there is no charge to create your registry. However, there are often charges for retrieving your money.
You end up with what you really want. Whether you already have all of your household essentials, you want to put money towards a big purchase (like your honeymoon or a mortgage note) or you prefer cash so you purchase what you like, a monetary registry gives you the flexibility of using your wedding cash to get what you really want. You also avoid the possibility of receiving unwanted or duplicate gifts.
You can access money from as soon as itís gifted to you. People may send you cash gifts throughout your engagement with monetary registries. Unlike checks that you receive at your wedding reception, you can use the money gifts in your account whenever you want to. That means you could easily use the money to help pay for your honeymoon or other aspects of your wedding.
Having a cash registry is easier on your guests. When you register for monetary gifts, you save your guests from the hassle of buying gifts. Typically, your wedding guests start by having to wonder what to get you, and then shop, wrap gifts and haul them to your wedding site. With a cash wedding registry, guests can simply log in and give you a cash gift without ever stepping foot in a store.
You use the monetary gifts as you see fit. Instead of tradition or society telling you what you should register for, with a cash registry you can use gifts toward whatever you choose. You can use the cash towards a future vacation, a down payment on a home, for paying off debt, a new car or whatever else you could possibly want. You make the choice and nobody decides for you what you should want.
Youíre not limited to the prices and products in stores. Retail or online store registries are always limited to what products are in stock and the prices that the store has set. With a cash wedding registry, your guests can spend as much or as little as they want and not be confined to the narrow choices of a store.
Monetary registries eliminate the possibility of carrying around checks on the day of your wedding. Many guests want to give cash in lieu of gifts anyway and theyíll bring checks or cash to your wedding. That means you may be carrying around hundreds of dollars in checks and cash during your already busy wedding day. Anytime you carry around large sums of money, the opportunity for loss or theft is present. With this type of registry, the cash is safely deposited into your account, so you avoid the risk and hassle of carrying cash gifts on your wedding day.
Monetary Wedding Gifts Etiquette - Do's and Don'ts
Do use an online cash wedding registry system (like Wishing Well.) This will make it easier on you and your guests. And your cash will be secure.
Do write a thank you card. Just because youíre registering for cash doesnít mean that you shouldnít thank your guests for each gift you get. Itís also a nice touch to let guests know what you plan to purchase with the monetary gift.
Do give guests a choice. Register for money for your wedding, but also register for a few items at a traditional registry. Most guests would probably rather gift cash because itís much easier, but it is nice to give people the choice.
Donít feel bad about opening a cash wedding registry. Monetary gifts have been considered proper and acceptable for hundreds of years and are the preferred gift in many cultures. For example, in Korean tradition wedding guests present the couple with envelopes containing cash at the wedding reception, and in Poland it is customary for guests to pin money to the brideís veil as a gift.
Do remember that itís the thought that counts. Many people ask ďwhatís the average money gift for a wedding?Ē The answer is that there is no average because it varies greatly based on the relationship to the bride and groom. For instance, close family and friends like your siblings or best friends may give you anywhere from fifty to hundreds of dollars. While general acquaintances like your lunch buddy at work will typically give up to a hundred dollars at most. No matter how much people give, your appreciation for the gift should still be the same. | <urn:uuid:54149b8d-4950-4e31-b818-0845322d4c86> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://reception-wedding.com/cash_wedding_registry.htm | 2020-01-29T11:18:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251796127.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20200129102701-20200129132701-00320.warc.gz | en | 0.938837 | 1,442 |

We’ve got Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day coming up soon, plus my kids recently had Spirit Week at school. And there are always birthdays and anniversaries to remember. It’s no secret, I love celebrating people and dates, but sometimes it’s hard to know how much to do. Truthfully, my kids don’t need elaborate celebrations to make memories.
The good news is that there are lots of ways that you can make any occasion special. The key is taking some time to think about how to make certain days more memorable. Below are some tips to do just that.
Theme your day
A great way to make special occasions and events more enjoyable and memorable is to theme your day. We love some themed birthday parties around here. You could theme any holiday or anniversary based on what you and your people enjoy. Themes can help you come up with activities, foods, and party favors.
We’ve had sports, character, hobby, and food themed birthday parties around here for our kids. We even got creative when everyone was quarantining this spring and our family had three birthdays in two weeks.
Incorporate dressing up
To break up the monotony of January, my kids’ school had Spirit Week recently. For Be Sweet Day, Ben dressed up like a Sour Patch Kid. One day Cate matched one of her best friends for Twin Day and Ben matched three other boys in his fifth-grade class who have the same navy sweatshirt jacket. Then they wore Ja Morant jerseys – one from Murray State and one represented the Memphis Grizzlies – for Favorite Sports Team Day.
Dressing up to match a theme or incorporating costumes add extra fun to whatever day you’re choosing to celebrate. After all these days in comfy clothes, even dressing up in fancier clothes may be a good way to mark an occasion. I loved the coordinated pajamas we were gifted before Christmas. Of course, I may like matching more than my kids do at this point. Perhaps you could get matching t-shirts for the whole family from a toddler St Patrick’s day shirt to something similar for the teenager.
Create your own family traditions
One thing I love about traditions is how we’ll celebrate certain occasions is already decided for me. Sure, we tweak the details, but we know we are having three other families over in early November to celebrate Friendsgiving as a prelude to Thanksgiving. I know that my kids and husband will pick what dinner they want me to make on their birthdays, and we’ll likely eat out to celebrate mine. We typically celebrate Memorial Day weekend at the lake with my siblings and their families and then spend Fourth of July with my husband’s extended family.
Of course, sometimes the reality is traditions change. We used to love hosting a Birthday Party for Jesus with friends and even one year as a communitywide event. That hasn’t happened in a few years, but it could again one day.
Traditions don’t have to be complicated. My husband writes me letters for Christmas and my birthday that I save in a binder. I write letters on my blog to my kids on their birthdays. (Read them there: Cate. Ben. Rachel.)
More than eighteen years into marriage and more than thirteen years into parenthood, traditions make our celebrations more fun. Decide once how you’ll celebrate any given day and then fill in the details. Get creative and remember your celebrations don’t have to look like what others choose to do.
How do you make celebrating any given occasion more fun? | <urn:uuid:e42be0ba-8a0b-4b1b-9a5e-5e84cf83b7ce> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://kristinhilltaylor.com/category/hospitality | 2021-04-17T22:47:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038464065.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20210417222733-20210418012733-00163.warc.gz | en | 0.952944 | 758 |
Join Garrick Chow for an in-depth discussion in this video Removing background noises, part of Audition CS6 Essential Training.
We've seen how Audition can be a big help when you have an audio file…with unwanted noises.…Using the Spectral Display, you can quickly identify and remove or heal pops,…licks, and other problematic noises.…Now, as I also mentioned previously, these tools are great for relatively short sounds.…But we also come across audio files that have much longer unwanted sounds that…appear throughout the entire track.…This could be a noise like a tape hiss or power line hum or just the natural…ambient background sound of where the recording was made.…For those types of situations, you can use Audition's Noise Reduction Effect.…It works by examining a sample of the background noise that you select, and then…it tries to remove that sound throughout the entire file.…
I'm going to go ahead and open a file. Let's go with the interview_BD file again.…And let's just split this so we can see both the Waveform Editor and the…Spectral Display, and I'll play a little bit of it.…(male speaker: Well, we have one farm in Ojai, where we've been since 1998,…

|Cemetery notes and/or description:|
Back in the late 1950's, city hall had a fire which burned some of the burial records for our fair city. They attempted to recover these records but a lot of the families had moved on so if there wasn't a marker for an individual the city was unable to correct the records.
Members of the Cemetery Board have been working to help locate as many of the missing records as possible. They are using death certificates and funeral records to help in the process. However, they have discovered many missing individuals but are unable to know the exact location of those burials.
If a photo request is made for a person that does not have a plot listed, then there is a great possibility that is a grave that is unknown. | <urn:uuid:1aa63a12-cc21-41dd-9acd-89b67afccff6> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&GSln=De+Witt&GSiman=1&CRid=1452095&pt=Burkburnett%20Cemetery | 2015-11-28T16:37:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398453576.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205413-00034-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983701 | 164 |

I like China Rats. I like their raucous, brash pop sound, their whogivesa attitude, and their blissfully brilliant 3 minute songs. So I thought I would talk to them.
There’s no denying that Leeds has something of scene going on, but for China Rats it is more the music that they listen to whether in the city or on the stereo that gets them going. Presumably they listen to glistening 50s pop, cutting garage rock and attitude heavy punk then, this being the cocktail of sounds that weaves its way into and straight back out of their music. Like most bands a whole host of colourful influences paint the China Rats picture: we’re all into different stuff but probably a lot of old bands like The Clash, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones etc. Also stuff we grew up with… Bit of Blink 182 for good measure…!’
From their local Leeds scene they recommend long time favourites ‘Soulmates Never Die is awesome, he plays fuzz folk and is releasing a new vinyl soon on an American indie label. Savages are cool too, we saw them at Live At Leeds and they had so much energy! These Monsters are sick as well.’
Although they have been gaining a local following, it was in Spain that things really took off. Back in July 2012 the band played the Villa Camp stage at Benicassim, and impressed so much that they were asked to headline the second stage as stand in for Bat For Lashes. Widely touted as the start of the band’s success, their main memory was of it being ‘hot and sweaty, with a full on mosh pit..’ The opportunity to play the headline slot was something they enjoyed to the full. ‘That show was even better… it was magical.’
Of course that was only the start of a huge host of gigs, festivals and parties. One of the favourites has been a show for legendary French label Kitsune, the week after SXSW 2013. ‘One of the guys from Daft Punk was at the show so that made it pretty special… Doubt he was there for us though! After the show we were sipping champagne in a brothel turned nightclub with Jagwa Ma. The French know how to party!
Manged by Once Upon A Time Music, China Rats seem to have been lucky to have found or be found by a management company with a similar ethos. ‘They’re cool guys and are behind us 100%. It’s great to have them pushing our music.’
As well as crashing riffs and enigmatic melodies, these are songs with open and direct lyrics e.g. ‘I got no money and I wanna die, I got N.O.M.O.N.E.Y’ (on N.O.M.O.N.E.Y) However, this transparency is not always intentional, but a natural product of the song writing process and general life experience. ‘We set out to make each song mean something but some of the tracks are more direct than others … I guess we write what we feel at the time and our own experiences.’
The band will be returning to Benacassim this year, as well as playing YNot and Bingley Festivals. | <urn:uuid:5ba62882-ffa9-47a9-b888-468c3d662555> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://andsoshethinks.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/china-rats/ | 2017-09-20T16:40:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687333.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20170920161029-20170920181029-00697.warc.gz | en | 0.979338 | 688 |
How to Arrange Furniture With a Corner Fireplace
A fireplace is a natural focal point in any room, yet when it’s in a corner, furniture placement becomes challenging. The solution is to build the layout of the room around the fireplace, capitalizing on the natural attraction of its warmth and color. You must provide comfortable seating areas for conversation and possibly for viewing television. The best arrangement depends on the size of the room, the style and size of your furnishings, along with carefully chosen accessories.
Smaller Room Arrangements
The size of the room determines possible furniture arrangements. A corner fireplace in a smaller room suggests coziness and a need for simplicity in the furnishings. For example, place two medium-sized, comfortable armchairs facing each other and perpendicular to the fireplace. A hassock placed between them offers the option of putting tired feet up, or a place for snacks and reading materials. If a television screen is necessary, hang it above the fireplace and slightly angle the chairs toward the fireplace for comfortable viewing. If there’s enough room, place a loveseat parallel to the fireplace, facing it and the two chairs, or place the loveseat perpendicular to the fireplace on either side and place a single armchair facing the fireplace.
Medium-Sized Room Arrangements
With a little more space, a larger U-shaped arrangement is possible. Place a sofa parallel to and facing the fireplace. Place two chairs facing each other and perpendicular to the fireplace. Use upholstered armchairs or armless side chairs, depending on your furniture style and the available space. A low coffee table will service all three seating pieces. A console table placed behind the sofa offers a place for a lamp, books or decorative accessories. Floor lamps and end tables are optional. An L-shape is also a viable, open-feeling arrangement. Place the sofa parallel to one of the walls flanking the fireplace. Place one or two armchairs at right angles to the sofa and facing the fireplace. This arrangement also works with sectional pieces.
Larger Room Arrangements
In a larger room with a corner fireplace you can develop more than one focal point by arranging multiple conversation areas. For example, the area in front of the fireplace might feature a pair of facing armchairs or loveseats with a coffee table between them, while across the room, a sofa and two deep-seating chairs form a different conversation area against one of the walls flanking the fireplace.
Accessories help define seating areas in a space and draw attention to the fireplace. For example, a colorful area rug placed on either a bare or carpeted floor in front of the fireplace draws additional attention toward the dominant focal point. A painting or arrangement of photographs on the fireplace wall accentuates the wall’s importance. Pillows or throws on upholstered furniture unify the color scheme by repeating hues present in the wall art.

Ballard – from Crown Hill to the north to the Lake Washington Ship Canal to the south, and from Greenwood, Phinney Ridge and Fremont to the east to Shilshole Bay in the west – is going through another major growth spurt. Nancy Sullivan has been helping Ballard Market navigate the choppy waters of change since she joined the team in 1986, just a few months after it first opened.
Now that she’s officially taken the reins as market director in 2018, and there might not be anyone who understands Ballard Market’s connection to its community better than Nancy.
“Even though there’s been so much growth here lately, we still stand apart because of our amazing staff. This is like my second family,” said the mother of four. Two of her kids also work for Town & Country Markets. “We have lots of long-time customers here, but we’re seeing a lot of new faces, too. And when you care for each other like we do, it’s easy to pass that feeling on to all our customers. I think that’s what keeps them coming in.”
Born and raised in Seattle, Nancy got her start in the grocery biz through Lucky Stores, but a former boss lured her to T&C. “It was big adventure to start working in Ballard. I was only supposed to fill in for a short time. Time goes fast, doesn’t it?”
Nancy also helped lead Ballard Market through a significant remodel in 2017 that added more grab-n-go options and fast check stations to help meet the needs of customers looking for a quick shopping experience. Working with Nancy to operate the market are Jenny Nichols and Dave Garcia, both market managers.
“Sometimes we hire folks who’ve worked at other stores and they get a little freaked out when they find out we don’t have official customer service rules. They worry they’re going to do something wrong! I tell them, ‘We’re a family here. You’re free to make your own decisions. Just do your best to meet the customers’ needs and don’t worry about anything else.’ We want our customers to feel at home here.”
Nancy and her husband have been married for 40 years and are die-hard pet lovers. They love to take their dog, Gadsby, out to their little family cottage on Fidalgo Island just north of Whidbey Island. | <urn:uuid:b5c1ab67-5c88-4cfe-849c-88370d1cdee0> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://townandcountrymarkets.com/ballard-market/ballard-director/ | 2018-12-17T06:33:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376828318.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20181217042727-20181217064727-00247.warc.gz | en | 0.969699 | 527 |
On Thursday in Wisconsin, Sen. Ted Cruz put on his most presidential jacket, pointed straight to the camera, and called his party’s likely nominee a “sniveling coward” for making disparaging comments about his wife, Heidi:
— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) March 24, 2016
This is where the Republican primary is at right now. The latest drama over Trump began earlier this week, when an anti-Trump group unaffiliated with the Cruz campaign ran ads shaming Trump’s wife, Melania, for having once posed nude in GQ. Trump accused Cruz of putting the group up to it (which would be illegal), and then promised to “spill the beans” on Heidi Cruz. On Wednesday, Trump used his Twitter account to quote a tweet that included a photo of Melania next to a photo of Heidi Cruz, with the tag line, “the images are worth a thousand words.” So Cruz has reason to be pissed—and to his larger point, Trump really does have a problem with women.
But almost as soon as he finished his remarks on Thursday, Cruz was asked a simple question: Would he support Trump as the nominee? It was a revealing moment that echoed a similar press conference two weeks ago, when a visibly distraught Marco Rubio called Trump a con artist and a third-world strongman who foments violence—but stopped short of suggesting he’d vote for someone else. This time, Cruz didn’t quite answer either, insisting only that Trump would not be the nominee. He may think Trump’s a misogynist, but he still wants Trump’s voters. | <urn:uuid:39226965-22a8-45a2-a83a-a109fc1db3bc> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://develop.motherjones.com/politics/2016/03/ted-cruz-donald-trump-sniveling-coward/ | 2021-01-17T00:53:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703507971.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20210116225820-20210117015820-00381.warc.gz | en | 0.977243 | 339 |
LAKME Rose Powder with Sunscreen Reviews
A warm evening to you all, Cupcakes,
Now, here is a Lakme product which is my niece’s favorite, I kid you not. Every-time I go to visit her in my sister-in-law’s place, she always knows what makeup products I bring every-time I go there.

My experience with LAKME Rose Powder with Sunscreen

Happy p-day from székes!
We met with our branch president and he gave us like eleven referrals of less actives to visit so that was sick!
Later we met with Balázs! It was a super good program. We talked more about our relationship with God and how to find out if he is real. As we were teaching I thought of comparing God to the wind. We can't see him but we can see how he works and we can feel his presence. It was really cool to think of God in that way and reminded me to notice him in all the little things like the leaves blowing in the trees.
That evening we had a program with the viktoriaék. We think we may drop them. They mostly just want to meet with us so they can practice english. Which is fun and all but they don't really respond to the gospel part of our lessons, so that was kind of sad to say goodbye but we'll probably stop in on them later and see if anything has changed.
That evening we said goodbye to elder mellor who just finished his mission. We now are down to just two elders again.
We tracted in the morning and then later had a program with Nagy tamás. It was super good! We are trying to be tougher with him and so this week we've been texting him every day to not forget to read and pray! We talked a lot about eternal life and what that really means. Sister greenwood was super inspired during the lesson and shared a scripture that really got him thinking.
|me and levanen at zone training!|
We had zone conference in duna. It was good.
|me and simmons on the train after zone training|
After that we went up to buda for splits with the stls (hafen and hawker!) It was wonderful. I went tracting with hafen that evening while hawker and greenwood taught angol óra. It was so great to just talk with hafen after being away from each other for so long. It was also super cool to see how we've both improved since the mtc. Its crazy that we've already been here for over a year!
|with hafen streeting!|
Finished splits. Went tracting with hawker. It was awesome. She's gotten so good at hungarian since we were comps!
That evening we had our last program with emil before we handed him over to the elders. It was sad saying goodbye to him :(
After that we went to our branch president's house for dinner! It was super fun.
We had lunch with Ági. It was a really cool program because she said she actually learned something. I think mostly the missionaries used to meet with her and just share spiritual thoughts that weren't too controversial but we decided to talk about after this life and stuff and the resurrection and it was just super cool. She super liked that we don't believe in hell.
That evening we had a Farsang Buli! Basically its like hungarian halloween in february. Its supposed to scare winter away. It was the best branch party I've been to here in hungary. It was awesome. So me and greenwood dressed up as elders and we lip synced to elder anderson singing "ye elders of israel" behind us. It was super funny. Later the member in charge of the party asked me of I knew abba's "I have a dream" which of course I do. So he asked me if I could sing it for the branch and then everyone would join in at the end. And so that's how I ended up singing abba in elders clothes in hungary. It was magical. Later we even karaoked to the "magyarország" song as a branch. It was super fun. A big group of members also dressed up as star wars characters. Pretty much one of the coolest branches ever.
Also! tamás came to the party and brought a friend!! It was wonderful!
|helping set up for the party|
|our branch president and his wife|
|us as elders|
We had church and then later we went to toni and andi's and they made me some birthday süti since they were sick last week and said they couldn't. It was great!
After that we had a program with Regina. Shes one of the elders recent converts that we started meeting with. She is super cool and down to earth. Shes 18 and loves the book of mormon. We're super excited to start meeting with her!
I hope you all had a great week too!! Love you all!

May 3, 2012, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson today responded to an Associated Press report predicting the nation’s jobless rate to drop to 7.9 percent by Election Day, which “would boost President Barack Obama’s prospects in November:”
“If the unemployment rate continues to drop, even to 7.9 percent, it will likely be on account of the continued decrease in the civilian labor force participation rate, which has dropped from 65.7 percent in January 2009 to 63.8 percent last month.
“That’s actually not good news. Almost 4.7 million Americans have dropped out of the labor force since Obama took office, because they have given up on looking for work. If they were included in the government’s measurement of unemployed, the rate would be closer to 10.8 percent, and the underemployed rate 17 percent based on April’s numbers. All together more than 27 million people cannot find full-time work in the Obama economy.
“Due to the drop in labor force participation the traditional jobless rate is meaningless as an economic indicator and does not reflect the economic misery facing the American public.
“Yet ‘leading’ economists predict continued drops in the jobless rate based on imaginary job growth rather than Americans giving up on the Obama economy. And this is supposed to help Obama? It seems likely those 27 million people will have some extra time on their hands come November 6 to let Obama know what they think of his economy.”

"How you doin'?" In this short film we give you a little peak into the world of Joey Rogers. The filim was captured by Cecilie Harris during her editorial with Joey at Supa Model Management for our latest issue "The Truth About Boys". In this exclusive video the editorial stills comes to life as we see the funloving Joey captured throughout the day.
Capturing Joey in this enticing video he wears Paul Smith, Kent & Curwen, Sand, Topman, Casely Hayford, Hunter Gather, Kaushal Niraula, Oliver Spencer, Richard James, and of course the exquisit Vivienne Westwood. Styled by David Nolan, he takes high end designers creating a classic, old British style while reflecting the current trends.
The concept behind the story of "Joey" was simple; to reveal more of himself, his quirky personality, his obsessions and the objects he surrounds himself with. As the first few notes of “Rumble” by Link Wray (a song Joey played for us during the shoot) kicks in, we imagine ourselves entering a dive bar in downtown New York in the 60's. The edgy guitar and smooth drum beat encapsulates Joey; a self proclaimed old soul. The atmosphere of the video is jovial, carefree and fun, which best describes Joeys down to earth and honest personality. We follow Joey through his journey of the shoot, catching glimpses of his prized possessions, his warm personality and of course that welcoming smile.
Make sure to see the editorial preview and get your hands on our latest issue to see the full 12-page spread.

So as you know if you have read any of my previous posts that I am a breast feeding mum and proud as it was hard fought and won with my wee one. First she was early, no milk, then she was tongue tied, milk no suck, then it was painful, suck wholly fuck ! But we persevered with true grit on my part and encouraging words and helpful tips on my friends parts. Like nipple shields , changes of position , and hot flannels on erect nipples that won't go down ! And it has all been going well I am pleased to say , we have been demand feeding so there is no real schedule , dream feeding which has worked for both of us getting a good nights sleep and I even had enough to pump and donate so gold star for me !
But now I am entering solids territory and breast milk is not her end all and be all. Banana and yoghurt is. Trust me she can spot a yoghurt pot at 40 paces and zones in. She knows begrudgingly that she has to eat the other stuff first , but luckily we are early on and she is enjoying all the new taste and textures put forward, peanut butter toast and roasted squash , to steamed carrot sticks and orange juice flavoured baby rice. ( Im doing Baby led, or Lazy Baby Led as I call it ) with all this extra yummy food she is dropping feeds and it occurred to me , as my boobs are like watermelons , I was so crazed to get on the breastfeeding train , I forgot to look how do I get off or at least pump the brakes. How do I slow the flow. I was out swimming with a lady who had decided that 6 months was her limit and bubs was going on to solids and no more breast for her, I remember asking her how do you do that ? I meant physically not mentally and now I realised that the time is upon me it is both. I am hoping that it happens naturally , she eats more solids my body adapts to less feeds and we tootle along till it finishes.
Which on a side note is sad for me. As I said I was so determined to breast feed and dragged myself out of bed with 10 day old baby after a c section to a latch on meeting to get her tongue sorted that I don't want to give up! She maybe ready , but I am ? I worked so hard for this , I enjoy it so much and heck it is easier than bottles and or lugging along snacks in small wax wraps. I know I am being selfish , along the same lines as I don't want to put her in to her own room and Baby's firsts . This isn't about her at all , its about me !
I know that if needed there are ways to stop the flow, you just miss the feed and then pump it away, don't drain the breast as it will only refill, but the act not actually having a baby to suckle tells your body to stop. ( again to just mention how awesome our bodies are to work together like that to stop the flow )! To help with engorgement and or mastitis you can use cold cabbage leaves, yes trust me it works. Old wives tale is it helps with telling your body that it doesn't need as much and to slowing take your milk down. You can take a drug to dry up your milk. I worked for a lady who decided bf wasn't for her at all and took a drug immediately in the hospital. If you need to stop any of the above, it should take about 7 - 10 days to dry up and then you are good to go. Get your nice bras on again and reclaim your body. Although there will be residue and a hormone roller coaster rides for a far few months after
But nature and my baby will take its course, I hope to slow the flow rather than stop it as my wee one still needs fluids be with water, formula and or breast milk . I hope to keep going to around a year or till she bites me I guess, but we don't have teeth yet so I'm ok, although when they want they can do damage with gums ! Right now she is in the process of learning to chew and swallow with gums and doing ok. She having one bottle a night already , she is learning to take water from a sippy cup so I guess she is slowing her flow and doing what she wants to do. We both still love our morning feed in bed and snuggle so I guess I will still be breastfeeding a proud for a wee while longer ..... fingers crossed | <urn:uuid:256c25ae-9fa0-414a-8d71-17ee470fc449> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.littlehandsbigplans.co.uk/post/slow-your-flow | 2020-11-28T16:23:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141195687.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20201128155305-20201128185305-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.982444 | 947 |
Pulitzers Focus on Sept. 11, and The Times Wins 7
By FELICITY BARRINGER
Published: April 9, 2002
The New York Times won a record seven Pulitzer Prizes yesterday, including six for its news coverage of the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, its victims, its causes and its aftermath, all transformative events in the modern history of the United States. The attacks and the war on terrorism were the focus of 8 of the 14 Pulitzer Prizes awarded for journalism.
The staff of The Wall Street Journal, which on Sept. 11 was forced to abandon its building across the street from 2 World Trade Center, pick its way through the carnage and gather in small groups around Manhattan and New Jersey, was awarded the prize for breaking news reporting.
One of two prizes awarded to The Washington Post yesterday was for its staff's national coverage of the war on terrorism.
The Times's Pulitzers included the public service award for the section A Nation Challenged, which was anchored each day with a full page headed Portraits of Grief, consisting of biographical sketches of those who died at the World Trade Center. The coverage on The Times's Web site was also mentioned in the citation by the Pulitzer board at Columbia University, which administers the prizes.
The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times won two prizes apiece. Newsday won the award for criticism for the work of its classical music critic, Justin Davidson.
In the 86 years that the prizes have been awarded, no newspaper has previously won more than three in a single year.
"We are witness to an extraordinary moment in the history of this newspaper, just an extraordinary moment," said Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the publisher of The Times, addressing hundreds of reporters and editors gathered in the newspaper's newsroom off Times Square. "But it is built on the back of a real tragedy."
He then called for a moment of silence in memory of the nearly 3,000 people killed during the attacks and their aftermath and of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was killed in Pakistan.
Among the seven awards given in the arts category, David McCullough won for biography for a work that burnished the image of the nation's often-criticized second president, John Adams.
Diane McWhorter received the award in the nonfiction category for her intricately woven portrait of the best and worst of Birmingham's citizens in "Carry Me Home: Birmingham, Alabama, the Climactic Battle of the Civil Rights Revolution."
Six of the eight awards for coverage of terrorism and its consequences were given not to individuals, but to the staff of the newspapers involved — The Times, The Post and The Journal.
Among the individual awards, Thomas Friedman, the Times columnist, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for commentary, his third award. Barry Bearak of The Times was awarded a prize for international reporting, "for his deeply affecting and illuminating coverage of daily life in war-torn Afghanistan."
The staff of The Times was awarded the prize in explanatory reporting "for its informed and detailed reporting, before and after the Sept. 11 attacks on America, that profiled the global terrorism network and the threats it posed."
In a rare double award for photography, The Times received prizes in both the breaking news and the feature categories — breaking news for a portfolio of work by 14 photographers who covered the events of Sept. 11, and feature for 5 photographers' work in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Of the six journalism prizes awarded for work unrelated to the Sept. 11 attacks, The Los Angeles Times won two, one for Barry Siegel's "haunting and humane" portrait of a Utah man tried for neglect in the death of his son, and one for editorials written by Alex Raksin and Bob Sipchen about the dilemmas presented by mentally ill homeless people.
Another, for beat reporting, went to Gretchen Morgenson of The Times "for her trenchant and incisive Wall Street coverage," which focused in part on the business conflicts of financial analysts and the firms that employ them, which receive investment banking fees from the companies the analysts cover.
The Washington Post's second prize was for investigative reporting by the reporters Sari Horowitz, Scott Higham and Sarah Cohen on the District of Columbia's "role in the neglect and death of 229 children placed in protective care between 1993 and 2000."
Clay Bennett of The Christian Science Monitor won for his editorial cartoons.
In the arts category, the fiction prize was awarded to Richard Russo for his novel "Empire Falls," (Alfred A. Knopf) about working-class life and aspirations in a small Maine mill town.
The award for history was won by "The Metaphysical Club: A Story of Ideas in America" by Louis Menand, an examination of the turn-of-the-century pragmatist thinkers Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., William James, Charles Sanders Pierce and John Dewey. It was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
"Practical Gods," by Carl Dennis, a professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo, won the award for poetry.
The prize for drama went to "Topdog/Underdog" by Suzan-Lori Parks, which examines the relationship between two brothers. Ms. Parks is the first African-American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for drama.
The composer Henry Brant won the award for music for his work "Ice Field,"` which opened on Dec. 12, 2001, at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. | <urn:uuid:12f6b1a0-614f-462b-91f5-f5e3c20da41b> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/09/nyregion/09PULI.html?ex=1198472400&en=ed2738d3d923c2f6&ei=5070 | 2015-02-28T16:41:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936461995.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074101-00204-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97093 | 1,139 |
I am pleased to present the report of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs on the Inquiry into the Child Support Program.
From the outset, a relationship breakdown can be an extremely difficult time for all family members with different points of stress evident between separating parents and children. With a change in family dynamic comes the need to redefine relationships and ensure that decisions taken reflect the needs of all family members, but with a particular focus on the welfare of children involved. In many cases, separating parents are able to come to amicable resolutions in developing new family arrangements, however in some instances a high degree of conflict may be present.
The Child Support Program (CSP) aims to provide administrative support, advice and financial adjudication for separating parents. The CSP is one of the Australian Government’s more significant social services programs interacting with the family assistance system, family law and taxation streams, and affecting some 1.1 million children.
The report of the Committee presents a detailed analysis of the issues raised in the context of the inquiry’s terms of reference. The Committee received a significant response to its call for evidence, with many written submissions and oral testimonials presented along with some 11 300 responses to a questionnaire developed to gauge the experiences of those who have interacted with the CSP.
The Committee’s report addresses a number of themes that emerged as areas of concern in the course of the inquiry – mediation, ensuring that the child support formula reflects contemporary Australia, improving communication between the program and its clients, special support services for where there is family violence and the merits of guaranteed child support payments.
The Committee’s findings have resulted in a total of 25 recommendations. In making these recommendations, the Committee notes that the CSP has evolved so that it is able to fit the needs of a vast and varied clientele, some with complex requirements. The system is not designed as a ‘one size fits all’ mechanism and all decisions made in the context of the CSP must consider the effect on individuals and families as well as the ‘flow-on’ impacts of the wider program. Key amongst the recommendations were:
- the use of mediation at the initial stages of new child support cases,
- amending the CSP to ensure the adequacy of calculated amounts and equity for both payers and payees with respect to the self-support amount, the cost of children table and indexation mechanisms, the use of gross income levels for payment calculations, and consideration of child support income management where substantiated allegations of payments not being adequately used on the needs of the child;
- significantly improving Australian Government agency communication and explanation of decisions linked to the CSP; and
- the assessment, modelling and potential trial of a limited financial guarantee for either vulnerable families or a randomised sample of CSP clients.
The Committee hopes that all of the recommendations presented will be adopted and implemented in a timely and collaborative manner.

Doki Doki Literature Club is one of the biggest surprises for me from last year, so before I even go dive into this topic any further, I urge you to play before I spoil one of the most interesting games on the market. It’s on Steam. It’s free and it’ll take you no more than 4 hours to finish.
If you genuinely want to be surprised, play it first and then come back to read this later...I promise you it’s worth it as a gamer, and you’ll appreciate these insights even more.
Done? Well then, let’s dive in!
Horror in Disguise
I honestly thought my colleague, John O’Leary was absolutely batshit crazy for recommending this game to me over the holiday. A Japanese anime visual novel that pretty much looked like a dating simulator? How on earth would he assume I would be into this? Yet, he insisted I go into the game without knowing anything about.
And I don’t regret it one bit.
While your aim is to win over one of the four cutesy girls in the literature club, the second act takes a dark turn, breaking the fourth wall and turning straight into a psychological horror. The leader of club, Monika, becomes self-aware and slowly begins to manipulate the game’s code to make all the other characters seem...well crazy. One of the other characters, Yuri, for example, goes from being an introverted socially awkward bookworm to a full-blown self-harming sociopath.
All of this leads to a climatic end where Monika takes over the game and eliminates the competition to be with you, the player, forever. The only way to get rid of her is to literally dive into your computer files and delete her from the game folder...talk about being so meta.
The Devil Is Literally in The Details
If you ever wanted to play a real-life creepypasta (disturbing horror stories that reside on the internet), then this is your game. I was floored by how well the experience was put together. But it’s what I learned about after, which made me appreciate the experience even more. Just take a look at these two videos from Game Theory, one of YouTube’s largest channels with over 9.3 million subscribers:
What Matt Patt reveals is that the game has built a huge cult following that has been digging deep into the code only to find cryptic clues for the developer’s next upcoming horror game, which will be revealed later this year. It’s an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) at its finest and one amazing move from developer Team Salvato. The move to make this game free was clearly calculated to be a teaser for their next big title, driving as much awareness as possible without needing to share any details of the actual game itself!
Not only did Team Salvato create a strong community for Doki Doki Literature Club, but also excitement for their next upcoming title. For starters, Team Salvato proved themselves as an unknown developer who knows how to make a solid horror experience. They’ve created a foundation and well-deserved fanbase which is constantly engaged, something us marketing or PR professionals are always looking to build for publishers and developers. Furthermore, the game has caught the attention of many top-tier media, solidifying future coverage opportunities and their next game.
To be honest, this isn’t entirely new. Developers have sneaked in teasers of future titles in games before (Ubisoft and Watch Dogs 2’s “leaked” E3 teaser is a good example), but Team Salvato took that idea and brought it to another scale. It’s this level of creativity and organic engagement which makes Doki Doki Literature Club one of my favorite marketing/PR tactics of 2017.
Doki Doki Literature Club is a visual novel where anticipation and the different forms it takes. It’s a game that does this by constantly playing with your expectations — even before you start playing. | <urn:uuid:44c3d236-5ae9-45a0-863a-1af6796a8632> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://insights.hotwireglobal.com/post/102enm6/why-doki-doki-literature-club-is-one-of-the-best-marketing-stunts-of-2017 | 2018-04-23T15:36:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125946077.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20180423144933-20180423164933-00447.warc.gz | en | 0.956674 | 845 |

- How to Treat Dry Mouth from Diabetes
How to Treat Dry Mouth from Diabetes
Xerostomia is an ominous sounding name for a fairly common condition suffered by approximately 20% of the population, one that most people tend to underestimate, a dry mouth. In essence, having a dry mouth means the body is not producing enough saliva, which helps the mouth stay clean while removing harmful bacteria that can cause cavities and other painful infections in the mouth. Saliva neutralizes the acid in the mouth and is an important part of the digestive process as it provides the moisture needed to chew and swallow food.
Dry Mouth Causes
There are many causes of dry mouth, such as not drinking enough liquid during the day, smoking, and sleeping with your mouth open, among others. Dry mouth can also be caused by certain types of medication, such ADHD medicine, anti-histamines, antidepressants, sleep medications, and narcotics. When this is the case, the problem tends to disappear once the underlying cause is removed, meaning that a dry mouth is usually nothing more than a temporary problem with an easy fix. However, for individuals suffering from diabetes, having a dry mouth can be more than just a mild annoyance.
Dry Mouth Caused by Diabetes
A dry mouth can exacerbate the side effects of diabetes, which will then lead to an increase in glucose levels, wreaking havoc on the body. A dry mouth is not only a symptom of high blood sugar, but it can also be the cause of it. Having a dry mouth, especially as a diabetic, can lead to rampant tooth decay, which means blood sugar increases as the body tries, and fails, to fight infection. A dry mouth can also lead to loss of sleep and an altered sense of taste, a condition that presents with a metallic or sour taste in the mouth.
Treatments for Dry Mouth Caused by Diabetes
Because of the harmful effects of having a dry mouth, it is of extreme importance to keep saliva flowing as efficiently as possible. There are several ways to make this happen, and the most important is to increase the intake of liquids throughout the day. A dry mouth can sometimes be the first sign of dehydration, so drinking more water is the best way to fight the root cause, which will then translate into a higher production of saliva, and a more balanced level of moisture in the mouth. Additionally, increasing the amount of fluids in the body can also help prevent sores in the mouth and chapped lips, as well as help maintain overall health.
Even though many diabetics have had relative success at fighting a dry mouth by drinking more liquids, it is not a long term solution, and as soon as the body has processed the fluids, the dry mouth returns. When this happens, a more direct approach to the problem is needed. Fortunately, there are several ways to help stimulate salivation, such as sugar-free gum, mouthwash, and mints. In most cases, those who use these methods have become disappointed after a few weeks, since they tend to be less effective as time goes by, but there is one dry mouth product on the market, OraCoat® XyliMelts®, that has brought relief to many dry mouths, from cancer patients to diabetics.
Individuals who have tried XyliMelts to alleviate dry mouth have said nothing on the market can compare. XyliMelts are so versatile, they can even be used at night while sleeping, allowing the user to wake up in the morning with a moist, fresh sensation in their mouth. Because of the way they work, XyliMelts have the ability to increase salivation, while reducing harmful bacteria in the mouth, which in turn leads to an improvement of overall oral health. XyliMelts also freshen breath and help fight plaque.

Prolotherapy is a technique using injected natural substances to stimulate your body’s repair of painful, injured joints when the natural healing process needs assistance. Prolotherapy strengthens weakened connective tissue and alleviates chronic pain from sports injuries, damaged tendons and ligaments.
Prolotherapy falls under “regenerative” natural medicine treatments. It is the oldest technique of the regenerative therapies and remains a simple, safe option to nudge the body into more complete healing of the joint and the surrounding connective tissue.
This therapy is safe, and a favorable option for young athletes to allow them to recover from injury rapidly and get back in the game. It is non-toxic and well tolerated with minimal down time. The injection therapy isn’t a one-time quick fix. Usually three or more treatments are administered at an interval of every month to continue to nudge the body to heal completely from wear-and-tear and acute injury. | <urn:uuid:fbf6660c-4fd6-4567-b632-21c625493b43> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | http://www.trueyoumedical.com/regenerative-joint-injections/prolotherapy/ | 2019-10-18T19:41:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986684425.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20191018181458-20191018204958-00148.warc.gz | en | 0.931201 | 197 |
Study: Michigan Pre-K Program Helps Promote On-Time Graduation
Four-year-olds who participate in Michigan's preschool program have a better chance of graduating from high school on time than those who don't attend, according to a study commissioned by the state's department of education.
The recent study, conducted by the nonprofit HighScope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, found that 58 percent of children who participated in the Great Start Readiness Program graduated from high school on time, compared with 43 percent of kids with similar demographic backgrounds who didn't attend state-funded preschool.
The difference was more pronounced between minority kids, with 60 percent of those who attended state preschool programs graduating on time compared with 37 percent for those who didn't. Researchers attributed the difference to the fact that fewer of the preschool kids ended up repeating a grade by 12th grade than did kids who hadn't participated in Great Start.
According to the Michigan Department of Education, 35 percent of all of the state's students repeat a grade at least once.
The study examined the academic outcomes for 595 children, including 338 who were enrolled in the Great Start program during the 1995-96 school year and 258 of the same age and background who didn't attend. All of the kids were then tracked through high school.
"These finding show the direct link of early childhood education with educational success for kids and their schools," state Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan said in a press release. "Local school districts would be helping themselves by redirecting some of their existing fund to pre-K programs."
Michigan's program, which began in 1985, is currently funded to serve nearly 31,000 kids, which is about 68 percent of the 4-year-olds across the state living in deep poverty. Living in a low-income household is among the list of risk factors that qualify children for the program, according to the study. | <urn:uuid:6b73f6f5-b5ee-46fa-adb6-fd0c7e70971b> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/early_years/2012/06/study_attending_michigan_preschool_program_promotes_on-time_graduation.html | 2017-11-20T04:17:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805911.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120032907-20171120052907-00562.warc.gz | en | 0.980985 | 389 |
With over four million followers, riding TikTok star Jack Wright is making a name for himself as a Hype House member to watch for. Known for his fun and quirky dance videos on the app, usually with other members of the social media collective, he's quickly making a name for himself on the platform.
While many of the Hype House girls, like Addison Rae and Charli D'Amelio, have appeared in his videos, a certain someone has made some fans raise their eyebrows, wondering if there's more to their friendship. Is Jack dating anyone right now, and if so, who?
Are Jack Wright and Lauren Kettering dating?
Jack's recent "friendship" with fellow TikTok star Lauren Kettering has raised a few eyebrows. Lauren, who was previously rumored to have dated fellow Hype House member Chase Hudson, seems to be spending a lot of time with Jack — and the TikToks they make together already have fans shipping them.
In fact, fans have already started a cute ship name for the couple, calling them "Austin and Ally." The ship name is a play on the former Disney Channel show of the same name, which starred Ross Lynch and Laura Marano.
The pair has played into the joke, continuously posting TikToks together. But fans are more than ready for them to make their relationship official.
Both Lauren and Jack were asked by The Hollywood Fix if they were an item, but they both outright denied they were dating.
"No, we're just friends," Lauren replied to the question, laughing.
Jack further supported Lauren's statement, saying "We're just best friends right now, so."
But despite denying any romantic relationship between them, he said they "are really close," and admitted that "maybe in the future" he would ask her on a date.
"We'll see. But yeah, we're just really close friends right now," he concluded.
But fans still aren't ready to accept that there isn't something more going on between them. Lauren made a TikTok in which she joked she'd had her heart broken by someone with a name starting with "J," pushing Jack away from her the whole video.
In the comments, another user called Jack out, writing "Omg @jack.wright you need to treat her right," to which Jack replied, "yes sir."
Add to this the countless videos of the two of them, and it's hard to deny that there's at least a little more chemistry to their friendship than they're letting on. Until they want to publicly disclose any personal relationship, though, we'll have to settle for them just being friends.
Is Jack Wright single?
Since there's no clear confirmation that Jack and Lauren are officially an item, it's safe to say the influencer is probably single. But just because he's single doesn't mean he's looking. In fact, he may already have his sights set on someone.
Things seem to be quickly heating up between him and Lauren, so while they're not an item yet, we wouldn't be surprised if he changed his relationship status soon. | <urn:uuid:1de74449-fdc1-4634-b81b-f79706ff9c31> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.distractify.com/p/who-is-jack-wright-dating | 2020-11-26T09:11:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141187753.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20201126084625-20201126114625-00365.warc.gz | en | 0.987202 | 640 |
February 18, 2013
CHARLESTON - The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce (WVCC) have issued a press release voicing their support of the bold education reform that will be proposed during the 2013 legislative session.
Education reform was a major topic of Governor Earl Ray Tomblin’s State of the State speech last Wednesday, and will likely be the primary topic of discussion for the Legislature.
“Education in West Virginia must change, and that change begins now,” stated the governor.
Steve Roberts, President of the WVCC, stated, “The West Virginia Chamber has several core beliefs for education that includes enrolling all 4 year olds in a quality Pre-K program; every child must be taught by an effective teacher; children must be reading at grade level by 3rd grade; evaluations of schools and personnel that are vital to importance; more exposure to learning opportunities, more time with teachers is needed; and not all children learn in the same way – innovation is the key.”
As the governor works to finalize his education bill, the WVCC stands ready to lend its full support to his education reform plan. The WVCC is our state’s largest business advocacy organization, representing members in all 55 counties who employ over half of the state’s workforce. | <urn:uuid:aa340d98-a4b2-4806-a55a-8892907337f6> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://williamsondailynews.com/article/20130218/news/302189989/&template=printthis | 2015-05-04T16:17:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1430454626420.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20150501043026-00089-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966894 | 269 |
Content creation in business is a vital part of keeping the business afloat. According to a recent survey nearly 61% of consumers made big purchases based upon a blog post. Additionally 57% of companies survived reported that they have gained new customers from a blog. Yet, turning a profit from a blog can be a bit tricky, especially if you are new to blogging. Here are a few tips to help your numbers and your revenue add up.
1. Make your message clear
People have very short attention spans and so we have a tendency to scan information. This means that your blog has to have content that is easily seen and read. Make sure that your content has information that will hook them in. If all that you are posting is material about how great your business is, your blog will not do well. Your blog must provide a service to the people and empower them. And where the goal is to turn a profit, the goal is also to drive customers to your site as a source for information. For example: If Joe owns a roofing company, he can make blog posts about home improvement. He does not have to tell them how to roof a house (as that is his bread and butter), but he can tell the consumer how to detect a leak in their roof.
2. Don’t spam posts with keywords and SEO
Organic content is the new name of the game. Where in the past you would find blogs that had the same word repeated 100 times to help boost it to the front of the SERPs, today the market departments are focusing on comments, shares, real discussions, tweets, etc. which build up the content in the blog. Whatever you post will need to have some SEO and keywords but do not go overboard. At most keep it to 3%.
3. Think like a journalist
By this I mean think of your headline. Journalists understand that they can have a great piece but if the headline is a dud then the content will not be read. Craft an attention grabbing header for your blog which encourages reading. With this being stated, you do not want to put a header that does not relate immediately to the content within the blog. It has to match up. According to an online study 8 out of 10 people will read a header but only 2 will go on to read the blog. Making your blog header interesting and encouraging further reading is the first key.
4. Update your blog often
Yes, the quality of your writing should be the first focus of your blog. No one wants to read junk. However, after this has been taken into consideration you must keep the information updated and new post flowing. A person will typically only read a post once. If the content is really good they may read it twice. It is recommended that you update your blog at least once a week with quality/engaging material.
5. Be involved with your readers
Being involved in your blog goes beyond just posting content. You will need to answer comments from your customers. If there is a specific questions that is asked of a competitor’s product, answer the question and show how your product is superior. Do not be afraid to comment on negative feedback as it will show that you are a person and not just a machine.
The premise of a blog is to provide a media that people can get information about your company in an engaging way. If you think of the blog as a miniature PR, FAQ and information page about your business and you as the head of that department, you will be far more successful in your approach and your success.
6. Break up that text
Blogs must have images and other content to break up the text. Think about a newspaper. Now, imagine all of the images and the fonts being gone and replaced with only a 14pt header and plain text. It would be so overwhelming no one would read it. The same is true for your blog. Add video posts that relate to your product, use headers, bold fonts and add images. Creatively construct your blog so that it is visually appealing and draws the person in.
7. Wake them up with your call to action
If you want to have revenue then you have to make it to where a reader can invest. Create a unique call to action button at the end of your blog post. Do not use a hyperlink only and do not use the clichéd call to action like “Read More” or “Click Here.” If you are selling a book put “Get My Book Now” or if you have products available for a simple task put something that relates to that such as “Get Your Go-Cart Starter Pack Here.”
Remember, a blog is a part of your business and not a byproduct of it. To have revenue from this source dedication and the same professionalism you show other aspects of your business must be present. Implementing these tips is a great way to start. | <urn:uuid:2a041aab-80df-4636-b4a5-d9c3f2d909f0> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.phoenixonline.io/blog/avoid-customers-falling-asleep-reading-blog | 2019-10-17T10:25:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986673538.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20191017095726-20191017123226-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.960867 | 1,005 |

In the winter of 2010, Little Hip Squeaks was started at a kitchen table, in a one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. Originally a side project for founder Amy Richardson, to keep her hands busy during pregnancy — sewing newborn hats for her not-yet-born son, and the new babies of good friends from thrifted t-shirts.
With a background in Graphic Design, Amy started to design digitally printed fabrics, to be used for LHS hats and blankets, and opened an Etsy shop selling the wares. Within 8 short months, LHS became a full-time career and grew to add two more ridiculously awesome employees. After more than 5500 sales on Etsy, we’ve been lucky enough to open our own e-commerce site, add additional members to our team, broaden our product line and completely overhaul our methods of production.
I interviewed Amy, one of our most imaginative, optimistic, business-minded, and fun-loving clients, because I just knew you would want to hear her story! If you’re wondering how a business outgrows Etsy, you will be fascinated by this success story. Amy has packed this full of stellar tips that new businesses can use: you’ll see that Amy was diligent in all areas of business, from research, to investing her own money, to hiring, managing shipping, marketing, and being really open to growing and changing.
It’s also fascinating to see what a day in the life of a successful small biz looks like – Amy is not making anything herself anymore, so what does she do with her time? Find out below!
Interview with Amy Richardson of Little Hip Squeaks
How did you get your business idea, and what kind of market research did you do when starting out?
Once LHS went from ‘presents for friends’ to a ‘real business’ my entire plans changed; I spent a lot of time on Etsy looking for what was missing. So many people were doing the same thing, just a different shop, different packaging — same designer fabrics and the same minky backing. I spent hours looking at what other shops were doing right, in terms of photography, keywords, tagging — I knew that if 50 shops were doing identical Michael Miller blankets, that those were the things to set them apart. If I could combine those elements AND offer something original and more exclusive, then I knew it would be a home run.
How long did it take before your business started making a profit?
Surprisingly, I was in the green from day one. I was able to use my ‘real’ job to front the cash for LHS, and just kept reinvesting. Always reinvesting (STILL reinvesting). Almost every dollar of profit goes right back into the company, and every time that return is bigger and bigger.
How do you handle shipping and customer service and organize the back-end of your business?
Customer service is what makes your customers RETURN customers — and we have a massive repeat buyer count. The short answer — hire someone else to do it. When its your own business, you become so defensive about every complaint, every return, every late package. Even if you get 30 emails a day praising you and your product, the one email where the customer isn’t happy will stick with you. You’ll wake up in the morning dreading your inbox and eventually it gets out of control. So. Hire. Someone. Else.
Same goes for shipping! Hire someone! It’s costly to add extra people to your staff, but when the brains of the company can spend their time actually being the brains (or the creative, or the director, or the mogul) instead of packing orders and answering emails, then that translates into a better brand that can make more money.
How does a standard day of running Little Hip Squeaks go?
My VP of Operations usually starts the day before I do, answering emails and sending me texts while I’m at the gym about what’s on our plate for the day.
I have a really hard time focusing on one task at a time, so I try to break my day up into 30 minute segments. Most of my day is spent answering emails, responding to press inquiries, and taking conference calls. My production assistant usually makes it into the office around noon — we’ve been working on growing our apparel collection, so we’re tweaking patterns, looking over samples and talking with our manufacturer.
I usually check in with my (remote) Content Manager in the early afternoon to go over social media strategy for the week, and brainstorm or discuss any potential projects we have lined up! I try to spend the later half of the day being creative, planning our upcoming collections or designing new prints. There’s also several trips to the coffee shop nestled into the day, and obsessively checking Instagram.
What mistakes or setbacks have you weathered?
We’ve had a lot of trouble with keeping track of our inventory. We sell exclusively online, but still manage to oversell products on the regular. I’m terrible at math, and am sure that this is part of the problem — but we’ve just hired a Shipping Coordinator who will hopefully get things in check with our numbers.
How did you promote your business initially, and how has that changed?
I’ve always been really keen on working with bloggers — from day 1 that was my marketing strategy, and to this day we still maintain the relationships with many of the bloggers we started working with 2.5 years ago. Aside from that, the focus remains on growing our community, both online and off. Our social media following has been a huge portion of where we drive sales from, and now we’re working with Land of Nod, for a tour called ‘A Play Date with LHS’ that will be a great chance to interact with our customer base off-screen.
How did you know it was time for a new website?
Oh gosh, the first month I paid $3400 in Etsy fees was the real moment I was like ‘WTF.’ I was driving 86% of my own traffic (from social media) and our demand was going too high for me to produce with just my small staff of seamstresses. I knew we had to look into manufacturing, which at the time, was a BIG Etsy no-no (they’ve since changed their policies). I was really looking at the future of LHS, and knew that we absolutely needed our own web presence.
What were the biggest differences the Aeolidia-designed website made to your business?
The design and professional aspect of our own website, is of course, KEY to our success — but the biggest differences haven’t really been in sales and views, but rather in usability. The plug ins and customization that our site offers has made it such a massive time saver and amazing sales tool. We use Ordoro to bulk ship our orders, which I would estimate saves probably 10 hours of work per week. No joke. There’s also some really great tools that help with upselling and cart recovery, that have become an integral part of our business.
There’s also the huge sense of professionalism when you can tell people you sell on your own e-commerce site. Etsy is a really great tool for starting out, but eventually you need to make your own name on the internet. When you’re doing all the work, and you’re putting in all the hours to make your business run, you should be represented as such.

Are you outgrowing Etsy?
What about you? Do you feel like you’re outgrowing Etsy? Are their fees eating you alive, and do you feel like customers are expecting a bargain that you don’t want to offer?

New Zealand is one of many former British colonies whose flags still feature the British Union Jack — and many see it as a relic of the country's colonial past. In fact, it came into being almost by accident, when it initially appeared on a navy ship, before coming into widespread use as the country's official symbol.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key suggested the country vote on a new flag as a "step in the evolution of a modern New Zealand by acknowledging our independence through a flag." To keep the flag from becoming a partisan issue, he plans to create a cross-party group to oversee the process and vote, according to the New Zealand Herald. If the public votes out the old flag, they'll be invited to help design the new one. President Key once said he would like to see a silver fern on it — which is its own relic, dating back to the Boer War in the 19th century.

This Cadillac ad took a wrong turn in Europe
A TV ad for Cadillac went viral online in the last month. It shows an American businessman striding through his lovely home, pondering why people in the US work so many more hours than Europeans. By the end of the ad, he’s convinced himself that, actually, work is great, Europeans are slackers and being able to afford a high-end car (such as a Cadillac) is worth far more than long vacations.
The World’s Gerry Hadden talked to his French in-laws about the ad. They told him America can keep its cars, its materialism — and its disdain for Europe's culture.
For imported cars in Kenya, it's against the law to be old
Kenya has strict rules about importing foreign cars, including that freshly-imported cars can’t be more than eight years old. Now the country plans to destroy more than 2000 older cars from Japan that somehow slipped through customs — to send a signal against corruption, according to Kenya's Daily Nation.
Kenya was once a British colony and Kenyans still drive on the left side of the street. So Japanese cars are particularly popular there, because they are designed to be driven on the left. Kenya's government pays an independent Japanese company to verify the age of imported second-hand cars, so corruption is the suspected cause of the problem. The contraband autos are valued at about $46.2 million.
Anyone want to claim a soggy load of hashish?
Nearly two tons of hashish washed up on a beach inside a Spanish enclave on the North African coast. More blocks of hash were found floating further out to sea, according to the Morocco World News. The drugs were recovered close to the town of Ceuta, which lies across the Strait of Gibraltar from mainland Spain and is surrounded by Morocco. Spanish authorities confiscated the drugs, and suspect they fell off a ship bound for the Spanish mainland. Morocco is one of the largest producers of hashish.
This little Lego man has been on a heck of an adventure
Andrew Whyte, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, Great Britain, has an unusual hobby: he regularly includes a miniature Lego man in his photos. He’s been carrying around the one-and-a-half-inch figure for more than a year now. His Lego guy has been all over Andrew’s hometown and even up to London — waiting for the Tube and gazing up at The London Eye. He even got to pose for his debut on American radio. PRI's The World reports has the story and stunning photos of the little Lego explorer's adventures.

Weather around the world
The weather got in the way of the famed Iditarod sled dog race on Tuesday. The racers had already encountered obstacles, like patches of snowless terrain due to a mild winter in Alaska, when a strong gust of wind ended up deciding the race, according to The Weather Channel. Race leader Jeff King was an hour ahead of the pack when he was blown off course, and that cost him an easy victory just six miles before the finish line. Dallas Seavey came from third place to win.
And how exactly will you be voting?

|What is left of the hulls after taking saber saw to the whole thing.|
I got as far as rebuilding the crushed port hull and was working on a few stress cracks when reality came crashing in.
I first noticed that there were a few tell-tail surface anomalies that indicated the H17 had been repaired at some time in the past. That puts into question the skill and quality of whoever did the work.
The second issue was that I could not break it down. The Hulls seemed to be permanently attached to the crossbeams. If/when I ever needed to change the 1-piece tramp, I would have to figure this out. I saw no reason to put this off any longer than necessary. What I found in the process made me feel better about junking it.
A PO had indeed glued the hulls to the crossbeams which was part of the problem with breaking it down. The second issue was the use of backing plates and nylon locking nuts. There were no-factory backing place on the inside of each hull. They were held on with Nylon bolts. When I tried to take the crews out, the nuts simply spun in place. I never would have been able to get them off no matter how hard I tried. The PO also put lock-tight on the t-bars. I snapped two Alan wrenches and stripped one bolt before giving up. Who does this kind of thing without thinking of the future? How they got them installed without cracking open the hulls, I've no idea.
The aggressive use of grinder took care of that problem.....again this was all before I lost faith.

Cholera: Usually transmitted by water contaminated by faeces, shellfish and contaminated food. There is an incubation period of 1-5 days and then onset of rapid diarrhoea, extreme vomiting and dehydration can occur. Travellers living in poor sanitary conditions should avoid using tap water under any circumstances and ensure all food is well cooked and eaten piping hot.
Diptheria, Tetanus and Polio: Tetanus spores are present in soil contaminated with bird, animal or human faeces and are widely distributed in the environment. Infection is a result of the spores entering a wound at the time of injury. The incubation period is 4-21 days and symptoms include general rigidity and spasms of the skeletal muscles which can be fatal. Polio is contracted from person to person contact through the faecal-oral route (contaminated food and water). Incubation is 7-14 days and with symptoms including fever and mild illness, such as headache and sore throat to flaccid paralysis in rare cases. Minor illness can be followed by remission and severe illness. Diphtheria is contracted though respiratory contact of items soiled by an infected person. Incubation is 2-5 days and it causes a characteristic acute infection of the tonsils, pharynx, larynx or nose.
Hepatitis A: Transmitted by contaminated water and food, particularly shellfish and person to person contact where hygiene is poor, Incubation is 2-6 weeks with no symptoms and then a sudden onset of mild fever, upset stomach, rash, nausea, vomiting followed by jaundice, at which stage patients begin to feel better.
Hepatitis B: Transmitted from person to person by exposure to bodily fluids (e.g. via occupational exposure, open wounds, sexual contact and newborn infant from mother, contaminated medical, dental and acupuncture instruments, sharing used intra-venous needles, body piercing and tattoo instruments). Infection can be more severe and results in symptoms similar to Hepatitis A with jaundice and hepatitis resulting from liver cell destruction.
Japanese Encephalitis: It is transmitted to man by the bite of an infected mosquito that normally breeds in rice paddies. The illness causes a fever, headache, convulsions, encephalitis and meningitis and especially cranial nerve paralysis. Prolonged recovery and post viral debility are common. Many who recover are left with disabilities. There is no effective anti-viral therapy and treatment is symptomatic.
Meningococcal Meningitis: Transmitted by person to person via airborne particles. Incubation is 2-10 days with symptoms including a sudden onset of fever, intense nausea, headache, sensitivity to light and vomiting. Other symptoms include a stiff neck and a non-blanching rash.
Rabies: The disease is transmitted by saliva from a rabid animal through a bite or scratch. Incubation is usually from 5-60 days, but can take much longer. Symptoms include fever, headache, malaise and fatigue. Anxiety depression, agitation and insomnia may also be reported which can develop into hyperactivity, disorientation, hallucination, seizures and bizarre behaviour.
Tick-borne Encephalitis: Transmitted by the bite of an infected ixodes tick or less commonly, spread by the ingestion of unpasteurised milk for infected animals such as goats. Incubation is 3-14 days. Symptoms can include a flu-like illness that resolves within a few days in the western subtype. The Eastern subtype symptoms includes sudden onset of sever illness including sudden onset of severe headache, fever, nausea and photophobia.
Typhoid: Transmitted by contaminated water and food, where hygiene is poor and food and drink may be contaminated with human faces or urine. Symptoms include fever, headache, confusion, vague abdominal pain and constipation with red spots occurring on body.
Yellow Fever: Transmitted by the aedes aegypti mosquito. Two outbreaks types exist: Jungle yellow fever is spread by monkeys and humans become infected in jungle habitat. They in turn can become a source of urban yellow fever outbreaks. Incubation is 3-5 days and the blood remains infected and can be spread by mosquitos biting other humans or monkeys and in turn spreading infection. Symptoms include a sudden onset of fever, backache, generalized muscle pain, prostration, nausea and vomiting.

Sarah L. (Dawa) reviewed Edge Of Deception (Presents Plus) (Harlequin Presents, No 1749) on
Helpful Score: 2
Not your typical Harlequin Presents.
Initially, they marry when she's very young (19), and of course, because they never talk, she thinks he doesn't love her. Based on lots of circumstantial evidence, she decides he's having an affair. After a bottle of champaigne, she tries to get revenge with his best friend. He walks in after she's realized she can't go through with it and won't let her explain. He divorces her.
They meet five years later when he's just proposed to another woman. The rest is fairly standard.
What I liked about this one is that you could really see that they weren't ready for each other. He wasn't willing to talk and she wasn't mature enough to look beyond her own feelings. They made mistakes, but they weren't unforgivable ones. The author also, I think, did a credible job explaining how the hero and heroine got so many emotional problems. The other really good thing about this book is that there were no pop psychology moments. He didn't suddenly, through her love and understanding, vomit out all his problems never to be troubled by them again. You were left at the end of the book with the feeling that they'd both opened enough to try again, but that there were no easy answers. | <urn:uuid:5f91e1be-d41c-468c-8557-cc7a88f28fe4> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.paperbackswap.com/Edge-Deception-Presents-Daphne-Clair/review/0373117493/ | 2017-12-13T07:33:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948522205.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20171213065419-20171213085419-00410.warc.gz | en | 0.990925 | 317 |
Late Rally Falls Short as WSC Men Fall in Season Opener at UNK
Posted: 10 November, 2013
KEARNEY - Wayne State nearly erased a 20-point Nebraska-Kearney lead with just over six minutes left, but the rally fell short as the host Lopers defeated the Wildcats 75-69 Sunday afternoon in the men's college basketball season opener for both teams.
Nebraska-Kearney led the entire game with the exception of the first basket of the game made by Wayne State center Jared Bartling.
The Lopers held a 13-10 lead at the midway point of the first half, then went on a 12-2 run over the next 4:45 to take a 25-12 lead, their biggest advantage of the first half, with 5:14 remaining before taking a 34-22 halftime lead.
UNK maintained their double digit lead throughout the second half and built several leads of 20 points before the Wildcats rallied in the final six minutes to make the game interesting.
The Lopers held a 66-46 lead with 6:42 to play, but seniors Ty Bauschek and Jared Bartling led a Wildcat comeback leading an 11-2 run over the next 3:28 to cut the lead to 11 at 68-57. Bauschek scored seven points during the run with Bartling scoring the other four.
WSC continued to cut into the lead as senior guard Adol Aluong scored eight straight Wildcat points in a span of 1:38. Aluong's layup with 1:17 left cut the UNK lead to 71-65, but WSC could get no closer and the Wildcats fell to Nebraska-Kearney 75-69.
Senior guard Ty Bauschek led Wayne State in scoring with a career-high 23 points. Senior center Jared Bartling added 14 points, while senior guard Adol Aluong also reached double figures with 10 points.
Wayne State made 29 of 57 shots from the field for 50.9 percent, but made just 4 of 16 3-pointers. Nebraska-Kearney was 26 of 57 from the field for 45.6 percent and was 5 of 18 from the 3-point line. The Lopers had a big advantage at the free throw line, going 18 for 26 compared to Wayne State's 7 of 12.
UNK held a sizeable 40-27 advantage in rebounding over the Wildcats including 14-6 on the offensive glass. Both teams had 16 turnovers in the game.
Wayne State will play their home opener Friday evening hosting Mount Marty College in a 7 p.m. contest at Rice Auditorium in Wayne. | <urn:uuid:499c1b15-3de0-4394-ad3f-4ec8b57310ef> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://ktch.com/index.php?action=fullnews&id=15501 | 2015-09-04T10:22:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440645340161.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827031540-00017-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962221 | 546 |

Ready, Set, Go! AladdinDAO to launch Initial Liquidity Mining
For the past two months, our focus has been community bootstrapping.
A few accomplishments we are proud of:
- Gathered a loyal group of core contributors
- Received over 1000+ Boule Candidates Applications
- Launched two successful community calls including Boule Candidates intros and panel discussions
- Published proposal on our governance platform + healthy debates
- And most importantly, lots of love from the community
Since we are at the final stage of running Boule competition and finalizing Boule candidates, it’s time to bring Liquidity Mining on the table.
Two Stages of Liquidity Mining
Duration: 200,000 blocks
Emission Rate: 500 ALD/Block
A 4-week token mining approx 10% of total supply. 500 ALD per block, and a total of 200,000 blocks produces 100,000,000 ALD
There are two main purpose of the Stage 1 liquidity mining:
- Tokens will be used for the Boule election
- 31% of the tokens released in the first 4 weeks (3.1%) will be reserved to incentivize Boule-led activities such as Research, R&D, Strategy Development etc.
Emission Rate: Starting at 65.03 ALD/Block with 20% reduction per year(2,600,000blocks).
The second stage of liquidity mining is a more gradual release over a long period of time to maintain liquidity incentives on AladdinDAO.
The core contributors’ tokens stop vesting after 4 years
The distribution plan is designed to share the DAO’s rewards with the entire community, while still providing liquidity and voting power for the early contributors.
Graphs below show the Cumulative Token Supply for Contributors, Liquidity Providers, DAO Mining, and DAO Reserve in the first 20 weeks and the following 1024 weeks (approx 20 years) respectively.
Token distribution will gradually approaching as ratio below:
- Liquidity Providers (29%)
- DAO Mining (31%)
- Contributors (30%)
- DAO Reserve (10%)
Liquidity Mining Details
We choose to list Curve (renWBTC, SETH, 3Pool) and Sushi (ETH/WBTC) as our initial LM platforms. Liquidity providers can get mining rewards doubled through AladdinDAO Vault.
1.Deposit crvRenWBTC in Aladdin’s Vault to earn CRV and provided aldcrvRenWBTC as a proof.
2.Stake aldcrvRenWBTC in Aladdin’s Staking pool to get ALD rewards.
In the meantime, we will launch ALD/USDC and ALD/ETH trading pairs on Uniswap
The initial token mining incentives will be released based on the following schedule
Throughout the mining period, the Boule Council will continuously screen and add high-quality projects on Aladdin Vaults. | <urn:uuid:368061f0-0184-4965-bb67-7d936b14e115> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://aladdindao.medium.com/ready-set-go-aladdindao-to-launch-initial-liquidity-mining-5374076daa35?responsesOpen=true&source=user_profile---------9------------------------------- | 2022-05-25T03:57:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662578939.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220525023952-20220525053952-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.889999 | 647 |
Here are some excerpts from a section called "Optimistic Future Corpses." I should maybe clarify that I do not consider postmillennialism to be the only acceptable view of end times. And I do not consider that only postmillennialists see things in the following way.... But I do consider the view a great encouragement to this kind of patience, wisdom and perseverence. Yes, we must ALWAYS be ready to die at any moment, but at the same time we do not want to be like the five foolish virgins who were unprepared for a long wait. We must not fail to invest our minas with hope and thoughtfulness. May God give us grace.
"David Chilton...once remarked that the day he accepted postmillennialism, he finally realized that he was going to die. He said that this awareness was unique. Nobody had even told him this before. He and his premillennial peers had always believed that they were going to be raptured. He said that this new perspective on his own personal future changed the way he thought about his life's work. Indeed, it had to. One's time perspective is crucial to one's view of work and work's legacy. The problem today with postmillennialism, perhaps more than anything else, is that it is a philosophy of personal, physical death. That sort of philosophy really has a limited Christian market in our era. Marxists have a secularized version of this faith, which is why they are such potent ideological opponents. Most Christians have no such outlook. They prefer not to think about death. They prefer to think about the rapture.
"Death is the backdrop of all endeavors by postmillennialist. The death of the sin-cursed body is the starting point. Then the question has to be asked: How should we then live? What kinds of institutions should we build? What kind of education should we impart to our children? How much capital should we invest in long-term projects? What kinds of books should we read or write? How, in short should we fight? What can anyone leave behind that his own death will not swallow up?
"Because postmillennialists know that they cannot assume continually that they have five good years left, and that they should assume that their organizations are not going to be left behind in a world without the presence of other Christian workers, they have to think about the future. Because they know they will die, they can be optimistic about the future. They know that other Christians will persevere. They know that Christian institutions will survive to serve as salt for the world civilization. Because they will die, they think to themselves, they can build for the earthly future of others who will also die. Because their view of their own efforts is necessarily short run--one lifetime, at most-- their view of the long-term effects of their efforts in implicitly long run." | <urn:uuid:3dd304c6-d719-495f-89a6-5bba59b22402> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://sparrowsrest.blogspot.com/2010/10/he-finally-realized-that-he-was-going.html | 2017-08-23T13:48:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886120573.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823132736-20170823152736-00454.warc.gz | en | 0.980881 | 591 |
By: B Stead
Many people own property with another person in a co-ownership arrangement. Spouses or partners typically own their residence together in joint names, family members; or friends may own a property together for investment.
An important issue to consider upfront when buying property are the consequences of when a co-owner dies. How the property is owned between people, that is, its tenancy, can give very different outcomes on death. Ideally these should be considered at the time of purchase.
Questions to ask include who can take a co-owner’s interest when they die? Would this be what they want to have happen? If not, can they state their intention in their will? Or is the property owned in a way that on death the interest automatically passes to the survivor/s outside of a will, as in joint tenancy? This article looks at tenancy issues.
Two types of co-ownership
Tenancy is about owning property with others as co-owners. There are two ways of co-owning property – joint tenants and tenants in common. The legal entitlements of these are different, with different outcomes for ownership interests on death.
Co-ownership of property in these ways is not restricted to real estate, but can apply to other forms of property, such as joint bank accounts and credit card accounts. So a question for co-owners is who will inherit their interest? Ideally this and other issues would be considered from the start, when choosing whether to co-own as a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, and aided by professional advice.
What follows is an outline of the key aspects of co-ownership in the context of succession and willmaking. Keep in mind that only property owned personally can form part of an estate, and so only this can be given away in a will.
An important attribute of joint tenancy is a right of survivorship. It means that when one co-owner dies, the survivor(s) automatically own the property by the operation of law. This occurs independently of a will (and hence the probate process).
When eventually there is a sole survivor, that person will own the whole property, and they may deal with it as they wish. So it is important for a sole survivor to revise their will to take this change into account. If not the statutory rules of intestacy apply, which may not lead to an undesirable outcome.
With tenants in common there is no right of survivorship. Instead, each co-owner has a separate, undivided share in the property (although not in a physical sense), and may independently deal with it as they wish. If owned in their own name it will form part of their estate and they may choose who will inherit it through their will.
The graphics outlines how it works.
Combining joint tenancy under a tenancy in common
In a tenancy in common arrangement, two (or more) people may choose to own their particular share as joint tenants.
Changing a joint tenancy to a tenancy in common
The survivor’s rights apply as long as the property is owned as a joint tenancy. To change to a tenancy in common, the joint tenancy needs to be severed in the lifetime of the co-owners. Specific procedures are involved and specialist legal advice should be sought.
The graphic below extends the situation further to show what happens in each tenancy when there are three co-owners, and one dies.
A note on terminology – most people associate the words tenant and tenancy as referring to leasing or renting property. Their presence in joint tenancy and tenants in common are leftovers from feudal law concepts in the English law adopted into Australia.
The table below compares aspects of joint tenancy and tenancy in common.
|Joint Tenants||Tenants in common|
|Basis of co-ownership|
|No separation of ownership.Co-owners hold the property together as a whole. Ownership is not separated into identified shares. Important attributes of this tenancy are the right of survivorship (see below) and the requirement for all owners to meet four elements when acquiring the property, known in law as the four unities.The four unities are time, title, interest and possession. Basically all owners must have acquired the same type of interest at the same time, in the same transaction, to have equal rights to possess the whole property simultaneously. As a result a close legal relationship exists between them.||Ownership is separate.Each owner has a distinct, specified share in the property, separate to each other. The share is undivided, meaning it cannot be divided further or spread among other owners. This allows an owner to dispose of their interest as they wish, either during their lifetime or through their will.Shares may be equal or unequal; either way they are expressed (in percentages or proportions) and recorded on the title.There is no physical division of the property; all owners have equal use rights, see Possession below.|
|Each owner is entitled to possession of the entire property at the same time, but no right to exclusive possession of any part.||Even though co-owners separately hold specific shares, they are equally entitled to possess the entire property in common with each other, and at the same time. No one has exclusive possession to any part.|
|Right of survivorship?|
|Yes. When a co-owner dies, the surviving co-owner(s) continue to hold the property. This right of survivorship continues among surviving co-owners until there is one left. This person will then own the whole property, (see the flowcharts). When they die, the property will pass according to the terms of their will, or the succession rules on intestacy.||No.|
|Are co-owners’ interest distinct from each other?|
|No. A co-owner does not hold any particular share solely in their name. Everyone owns the whole property together.||Yes. Each co-owner holds an identified proportion separate to the others.|
|Can a co-owner deal with their interest independently of the others?|
|No. All co-owners must act together as a whole to preserve the joint tenancy. To do otherwise may end or “sever” the joint tenancy and the co-ownership would become as tenants in common.A feature of joint tenancy is the close relationship formed between co-owners to create it in the first place. See the four unities above.||Yes. Co-owners may deal with their shares as they wish, independently of each other. They may sell, mortgage, transfer, lease or dispose of by will without affecting the tenancy of the others.|
|Planning for succession & willmaking – Does an owner have an choice or control in who inherits their interest?|
|No. On death the right of survivorship rule automatically applies and independently of intentions expressed in a will.||Yes. If owned personally a co-owner’s share becomes part of their estate when they die, consequently they may choose who takes their interest by making a valid will.|
|Can a co-owner dispose of their interest in their will?|
|No. The survivorship principle overrides a will. If a co-owner decides they no longer want their interest to pass automatically to the others, they need to sever the tenancy and own as tenants in common.||Yes, if owned in their name, to whomever they choose, in their lifetime or by nominating a successor in their will. If no choice is made, it passes according to the laws on intestacy.|
|When a co-owner dies|
|The right of survivorship applies. This means that when a co-owner dies the surviving co-owners automatically continue to own the whole property, by the operation of law. If there are only two co-owners or joint tenants, then on the death of one, the surviving one automatically owns the whole property in their name. When the survivor dies, the property passes according to the terms of their will, or by the statutory rules of intestacy.||Each owner can dispose of their share independently of the others in their lifetime, including by will, and to whomever they choose.If no will or an invalid will, then their interest is distributed according to the statutory rules of succession on intestacy.|
|Is probate required?|
|Changing the title records – generally See your Land Titles Office for information and requirements.|
|To note the survivor(s) on the register of land titles, Land Titles Offices usually require presentation of a:
||Land Titles Office reguirements typically include copies of the:

Tropical Taste Hawaiian Gift Basket
A medium-sized Hawaiian gift basket with 10% Kona coffee and locally made cookies with macadamia nuts and chocolate chips. Add a hand poured soy candle infused with tropical flower fragrance and dried mango with tangy li hing flavoring.
This is a gift basket selection for great price with a lot of variety at a lower price. All of the items are Hawaiian made.
The Kona coffee blend is a pack that makes one full pot of coffee. We’ll choose from a variety of flavors. If you are giving to a true coffee connoisseur we recommend 100% Kona coffee.
The cookies are baked by a family in Hilo. These Hawaiian cookies are made with local macadamia nuts and chocolate chips. The 4.5 ounce bag contains nine crisp cookies.
Our candles are hand made and based in soy. Our candle maker adds natural essences that invoke the aromas of the islands. She actually makes these in her home in the Hawaiian rainforest near Kea’au. These are votive size candles and will burn 8-10 hours. The fragrance will bring the fragrances of the tropics to any room.
Li hing mango is a contrast in tastes. The dried mango are delightfully chewy. The natural sweetness of mango is offset by the tart flavor of Chinese li hing. This is a tart spice made from plums. This has become a traditional Hawaiian treat.

A push for the post-season or an early start to the off-season, the one-win Argos find themselves in a potentially make-it-or-break-it type of scenario when you look at the coming schedule.
For those who haven’t been paying much or any attention, the Argos began their season by playing Hamilton in Toronto’s opener and then facing seven successive Western opponents.
This West-centric start has been part of the Argos’ schedule the past two years, a reality GM Jim Popp is well aware of.
Two years ago, the team found its rhythm en route to winning a Grey Cup.
Last season, nothing could be summoned as the Argos finished with four wins.
The schedule hasn’t done the Argos any favours and neither has the injury bug.
“We’ve had crazy injuries the last two years,” said Popp. “A lot of injuries, period. Schedule-wise, it’s the exact mimic of West early, a lot of road games, and then you’ve got your East.
“What we are getting back is healthy people similar to 2017. The second half of that season we really started to get our guys back. We didn’t have that last year and hopefully we can maintain that as we get people back.
“We’ve been striving for this all year, but what we need is consistency. This is who we’re playing with, this is what we’re doing. You’re always trying to find that right formula. We’ve been playing much better football, but we haven’t got the wins we want. We’ve been playing really good defence, but this last game (against Edmonton when the Eskimos produced in excess of 500 yards in racking up 41 points) we didn’t have an answer.
“Our special teams are getting better. We had a really bad game offensively in Edmonton (Toronto was shut out for the first time since 2009), but we’ve had three of four 400 yards leading up to this game. These are ifs, but if you take four field goals (which Toronto kicked Friday night against Edmonton) and one or two of them (get parlayed into touchdowns) and the defence, which played better in the second half. The game is just different.
“Even how it went we were still in the game in the fourth quarter. We’ve got to take it to the next step. Guys are working their tail off, they’re believing in one another. We’ve gotten better. Early on (in the season) we had terrible turnovers (including seven in Calgary). We’ve played very good teams and we want to be a very good team. We just don’t want to hope to win, you want to expect to win. We’ll establish that. Part of a lot of change, and I’m talking injuries and new people, sometimes people aren’t on the same page.
“We seem to have settled down. And, yeah, these games coming up are divisional games and they are more than just two points. These are huge games, really big games.”
It starts in Moncton against Montreal this Sunday, an absolute must win for the Argos.
In the first week of September, the Argos visit Hamilton and Ottawa to play two games within a six-day period. | <urn:uuid:dceb1266-3dac-4827-ab78-90cdc7d4f81a> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://torontosun.com/sports/football/cfl/toronto-argonauts/gm-popp-knows-how-critical-next-three-games-loom-for-one-win-argos | 2020-06-06T17:54:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590348517506.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20200606155701-20200606185701-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.976792 | 738 |
When winter is coming, do not forget to winterize your camper! It's a recipe for great vacations next year!
In order to have a camper in a good condition that lasts for many years you should always prepare it for winter.
In the fall when the time of camping is over you can follow this list thus making sure that the camper will be in a great condition also after the cold days of winter have passed.
A lot of people winterize their campers at their RV dealer, but you can also do it yourself and save some money.
Draining the water
Draining the water tanks of the camper should be the most important thing to do before winter. If the water freezes inside the tank and the pipes, they will break and you will have to replace them after winter.
All water tanks (fresh or gray) can be drained at a sanitary dump station. Remember to remove water also from the water heater. Before you do this make sure it is not under pressure and that the water is not hot. Water can be also sometimes trapped in the faucets, pumps and drains, so you also have to make sure that these won't freeze and brake.
To avoid this you will need some non toxic anti freeze which you can find in most shops. Using a pump or a tube get this solution into the pipes, lines and the whole water system of the camper. When you turn the faucets on, the anti freeze liquid should be pouring out. This way you know that it got into every little corner of the water system.
Covering up the camper
Covering the camper with a plastic seems to be the simplest solution but it is not the best one. Water can leak underneath the cover or moisture will form which will damage the camper over winter. Trapped moisture is the worst enemy of a camper, because it will form mildew.
The best way to make sure that your camper will be mildew free in the spring is using a material that keeps moist away but that is breathable. You can find special camper covers in RV stores that are made of a material which has exactly these features. Such a cover will make sure that no water will damage your camper from the outside.
From the inside you also need to protect your camper from moisture that forms in the air. For this you should use a chemical absorbent inside the camper which will absorb moisture from the air. Some people use a heater instead but this is less safe and more energy consuming.
Small but important things
After you are done with these major steps, don't forget about the smaller things either. Clean the camper inside and outside thoroughly. Look carefully around the camper and if you see anything that needs to be fixed, do it before storing it.
Also make sure that you don’t leave any food or other products in the camper that will attract insects and rodents. To avoid mice or other critters moving into the camper fill in any whole or stuff them with brass wool. Unfortunately some insects are almost impossible to keep out of the camper, but before you use it in spring check carefully for any creatures especially in the exhaust ports and propane systems.
If you live in Texas or Utah, you may not have to winterize your camper.
However, if live in the colder states, you will want to take care of the camper before the cold weather affects the camper. Most people say that winterizing is a matter of choice in a pop up camper.
Whether you have a 1994 camper or a 1979 camper you still want to take care of certain things so they do not freeze in the cold weather. Water systems need to be drained and all water removed from the hoses or pipes as you might say.
If they freeze solid, they can expand and break. You need to remove water that has exposure to the cold and freezing temperatures. If the water is not drained from the pump, this may freeze and have to be replaced.
Replace the water with antifreeze after you use air pressure to clear all water from the pipes. You can drain the water from the fresh water tank by removing the plug and letting the water drain. Then replace the plug and add the antifreeze.
Add enough water to dilute the antifreeze to the proper degrees. Always use the antifreeze made for campers because it is non-toxic.
You also want to drain the hot water heater and let all the water out if you are not keeping it running. Once you have all this done and reconnected you can turn on the faucets and run until you see pink water start coming out.
You have now learned how to winterize a camper for the colder seasons when not in use. If you have any problems finding any areas that need to be drained, refer to your camper’s manual to locate the necessary drain plugs and bypass hoses. Winterizing your camper is not hard nor is it something to be ignored. | <urn:uuid:96644dd7-5d28-4ff3-8c22-bc7b8be5a9e6> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.pop-up-campers-trailer.com/how-to-winterize-camper.html | 2018-05-26T09:45:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867416.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526092847-20180526112847-00216.warc.gz | en | 0.946024 | 1,043 |
New Zealand’s women can look back on their qualifying campaign for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Germany 2011™ with justifiable pride. Not only did they win the OFC Women’s Nations Cup without losing a single game or conceding a goal, they managed to net a staggering 50 strikes in just five matches. Twelve of these came from the boot of 26-year-old goal-machine Amber Hearn, who spoke to FIFA.com about her hopes for Germany 2011 and her side’s opening game against Japan.
FIFA.com: You topped the scorers’ list at the OFC Women’s Nations Cup with 12 goals in five appearances. How do you rate your team’s performance in that competition?
Amber Hearn: I think it was to be expected. I’m not talking about my achievement or the 50 goals we got. What I mean is that we’re the best side in the region and so we should be winning the title.
How did it affect you when Australia left Oceania and joined the Asian Football Confederation?
To be honest it opened a lot of doors for us. We wouldn’t be where we are now if they hadn’t made the move.
You scored against Japan during that 2-2 draw at the 2008 Olympics. How do you see New Zealand performing against them in the group opener?
The last time we played them was in 2009, when we lost 2-1. The squad was carrying a lot of injuries and our team was young and experienced, so the score line wasn’t too bad. This time we’re well prepared, though. Of course your first match in a tournament is always tricky but personally speaking, I think we’re going to surprise a lot of teams.
Are there any Japanese players you’re looking forward to facing?
All of them! They’re all very talented and look to keep the ball. If I had to choose I’d say their captain, Homare Sawa. We started playing international football at about the same time. I reckon she’s the key player for Japan and we’ll need to keep a careful eye on her is we want to win.
Do you expect New Zealand to perform better than they did at the last edition in 2007?
Of course! The standard of women’s football in New Zealand has come on leaps and bounds since then. Our team has an average age of 20, so we’re a young side. We’ve trained hard for this and played a lot of games so we’re definitely going to go further than the last World Cup.
Which teams in your group give you sleepless nights?
I don’t think any of them do. We’ve played Mexico, Japan and England before. It’s true that we were beaten 5-0 in our recent game against Mexico, but it helped us understand where we were going wrong and identify our weaknesses, so we’ve had the opportunity to put them right.
Of course your first match in a tournament is always tricky but personally speaking, I think we’re going to surprise a lot of teams.
What’s your target for this tournament?
Speaking for myself, I want to get to the final, but as a team our first target is to make it to the Round of 16.
So who do think will qualify from your group?
We will of course! And Japan, I should say. I don’t think the England team has what it takes to keep up with the Asian sides.
Finally, what are your impressions of the atmosphere and organisation of this FIFA World Cup?
I couldn’t wish for more. It’s all great. The organisation is out of this world, and our training pitches are beautiful. | <urn:uuid:3bb09583-b1f0-474e-ba85-1130b7521f54> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/y=2011/m=6/news=hearn-going-surprise-many-teams-1461659.html | 2016-02-07T00:22:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701148402.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193908-00165-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969686 | 810 |
After his overall win in the Tour of Oman, dancing away from his rivals on the slopes of Green Mountain, it’s clear Chris Froome isn’t suffering any hangovers from his massive 2013 campaign.
Everyone should be afraid.
A burst of high-cadence acceleration was all it took to blow away Tejay van Garderen (BMC) and former Team Sky lieutenant Rigoberto Uran (Omega Pharma-Quick Step).
As for Vincenzo Nibali, a man who many consider Froome’s most serious rival for the Tour de France, he was never truly in the hunt. With his wife at home about to give birth to their first child, it’s understandable if Nibali’s head wasn’t fully in the game in Oman.
Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha), Robert Gesink (Belkin), and Roman Kreuziger (Tinkoff-Saxo) were all thereabouts, but had no answer to Froome’s attack.
After stage five, Froome gave his perspective on his performance to Cycling Central:
“From a personal perspective I wanted to see where I was, where my condition was, and I think today I got the answer I wanted.
“Winning here is always more psychological than anything else. At this point it’s still too early to say anything in terms of build-up to the Tour de France, but it’s definitely good to have it in there.”
As he says, it’s far too early to draw too many conclusions about the form of other riders, but what the Tour of Oman shows is Froome definitely hasn’t spent his winter wining and dining at gala dinners.
It shows Froome still has the hunger that seemed to desert Sir Bradley Wiggins after his own magical 2012 season (remember a clearly-overweight Wiggins struggling to find form and condition leading into last year’s Giro d’Italia).
Smashing his rivals so early in the season is such a psychological victory because everyone can see that, barring accident or injury, there will be no slackening off from the man who dominated every stage race he entered last year.
The effects of this can be seen already in the list of general classification riders shifting their sights to the Giro d’Italia. It’s almost an admission that Froome can’t be beaten in the Tour this year, so let’s aim for the next biggest prize.
It’s a coup for the Italian race, which begins in Ireland on May ninth. You could even argue the list of GC contenders for the Giro looks better than for the Tour.
In fact I will: the best GC riders, Froome excepted, are not riding the Tour de France this year.
Joaquim Rodriguez, Cadel Evans, Rigoberto Uran, Nairo Quintana and Froome’s teammate Richie Porte are all aiming squarely for the Giro. All except Uran targeted the Tour in 2013.
That’s some serious talent on display in May.
In July, Froome’s main rivals will be Nibali, Alberto Contador, Rui Costa, Tejay van Garderen, Robert Gesink, and Alejandro Valverde.
Nibali is one of my favourites, but he’ll have to overcome the disruption of new fatherhood, as well as Team Sky.
Contador has looked past his best for two years, but he took his first win in over a year in stage four of the Volta ao Algarve this week. Hey, that’s better than nothing, but he didn’t beat anyone as good as the riders Froome just thrashed.
I’ll need to see a lot more before I rate Contador as a serious GC threat again.
Valverde is a similar story: he defeated Richie Porte on home turf in the Ruta del Sol this week, cleaning up three stage wins in the process. But he’ll be 34 by the time the Tour begins, and he’s never made the podium there.
Many astute observers don’t think he’s even the best GC rider in his team.
Yes, Valverde’s still deadly in stages that suit him, but can he go three weeks without a bad day in the high mountains?
Costa is all class, but his best results have come in single-day races and as a stage winner. His highest Grand Tour GC finish to date is 18th, at the Tour in 2012.
He’s unproven as a Grand Tour GC contender, despite very strong performances in shorter stage races like the Tour de Suisse.
Gesink and van Garderen are well known for their buckets of potential without ever really looking like winning a Grand Tour.
As the season progresses we’ll have a better idea of who is really in form and who’s playing catch-up.
But for my money, there are more genuine GC riders aiming for the Giro than I can remember.
Why would the Giro, a great race but undeniably less prestigious than its French cousin, attract a more competitive field than the Tour?
Because they think Froome can’t be beaten. | <urn:uuid:8433f08f-eeb0-48bc-b1b1-92bde11ed923> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.theroar.com.au/2014/02/25/whos-afraid-of-christopher-froome/ | 2015-07-07T08:56:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375099105.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031819-00087-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959404 | 1,117 |
