Today Avery is bringing us her first sketch challenge at the Friday Mashup, and its a great one! The only thing I changed from it was the sentiment. The stamp I used has the sentiment included in it so I couldn't move it. Otherwise my sketch stayed true! Avery would also like to see some spritzing or splattering on our projects. Now, I knew that was part of the Mashup but somewhere along the line I totally spaced that when making my card and therefore I don't have any on mine :( So sorry Avery, it wasn't intentional!
Head over to The Friday Mashup and check out Avery's first sketch with us and then give it a whirl, we love seeing what everyone comes up with!

Here Claire and I review The Philippines. We have traveled to this nation twice and plan on going back for some more!
5 Stars: Incredible
4 Stars: Very Good
3 Stars: Average
2 Stars: Not Good
1 Star: Very Bad
Most areas of the Philippines are safe for most travelers. Sections of Manila should be avoided however, and the Southern island of Mindanao has terrorism issues that involve the kidnapping of foreigners. When avoiding these areas, the Philippines is a very safe and rewarding place to visit. Traffic safety is also a point for concern and gun crimes are also an issue in the nation’s cities.
Philippine cuisine is very hard to pinpoint as it takes on so many other cultural influences. Two big influences come from the Spanish who controlled the islands for hundreds of years and the United States, the Philippines most recent past occupier. Chinese food is abundant and local traditional foods are a must try. Fresh fruit is available daily and the mangoes are to die for. Fresh seafood is also always on the menu. Although meals in the Philippines are great and affordable, the cuisine won’t blow your mind away.
Above water, the Philippines offers some average sights to see from old Spanish forts to the bustling metropolises of Manila and Cebu. The best sights in the Philippines require you to go underwater. Being the site of many WWII battles, divers come in droves to check out the old sunken battle ships and also to explore for old treasures found in the ships of traders that sunk long ago. (with wrecks alone, this would be 5 stars. However, due to limited accessibility, we weighed above water sights heavier)
The culture of the Philippines, like it’s cuisine, has taken pieces of many different cultures and made it its own. The two most noticeable influences are religion (Catholicism from the Spanish) and language (English from the USA). Music is a part of life in the Philippines and you will run into a cover band no matter where you go. Being a nation made up of islands, life slows down in the Philippines and everyone seems to focus on the things that make them happy here. It is quite a relaxing experience after coming from a culture that is always in a hurry.
The Philippines offers some of the worlds most stunningly beautiful scenery. Volcanoes can be spotted from most horizons, and beaches are certainly not in short supply. The crystal clear waters of the Philippines is teaming with life and offers some of the best diving in the world. Every island offers new and exciting things to do and see. Above the water, white sand beaches are standard with some of the most stunning to be found around El Nido. Rain forests are waiting to be explored further into the interior of many of the islands. Warning: Traveling in the Philippines will most likely ruin beaches and diving in most other parts of the world for you.
The Philippines is very affordable, providing cheap budget accommodation and reasonable prices for food. Diving prices are a bargain considering the sights you are seeing as most dives will cost you around $30 USD (including a dive master and gear). Beachfront accommodation is also very affordable as beach views can be yours for anywhere between $15-$60 for budget accommodation.
Most people in the Philippines are very friendly, and are always willing to help you when you need it. In the big cities, watch out for scammers and pick pockets. Sometimes it’s a pain to get a cab as most drivers refuse to use the meter with foreigners. Expect warm smiles and friendly faces most places you travel to on these islands.
When you come to the Philippines, you are coming for the white sand beaches and underwater views. While there are enough sights to keep land creatures occupied throughout their stay, island hopping and diving are king here. People are usually friendly and expect more smiles than frowns. Slow down your life a little bit and enjoy having fresh seafood at every meal if you wish. The best part about all of this is that it will not put a huge dent in your wallet to enjoy all that the Philippines has to offer. Claire and I can’t wait for our 3rd visit… and 4th…. and 5th…. and… ok… you get it…. Claire and I have fallen in love with these Islands and look forward to our future travels here! | <urn:uuid:fc797e08-32f8-4d7c-bc8c-6b56261f7333> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://onceupon-abackpack.com/philippines-travel-review/ | 2020-09-27T17:14:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400283990.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927152349-20200927182349-00365.warc.gz | en | 0.959741 | 889 |
Last time I told you what colleges look for in the “Why Do You Want to Attend Our School?” essay.
Buckle up! It’s time to start putting pen to paper.
Here are 5 Steps to Writing a Great “Why This College” Essay:
1. Before You Start Writing, Understand What Makes This School Different From Other Schools
- Read the website thoroughly (not just the home page). Watch videos. Connect on Facebook and get regular updates in your newsfeed. Learn about the school’s educational philosophy and traditions.
- Pay attention when you visit. When something interests you, ask questions.
- Think about how you’d be a good match for that school.
- Find something that gets you excited about attending.
2. Don’t Be A Lightweight
- It’s okay to mention after-school activities and dorm life in your essay, but they shouldn’t be your main focus. Show that you know about substantial things like courses, instructors, academic opportunities and educational philosophy.
3. Say How You’ll Fit In
- Visualize yourself as a freshman on campus: What classes are you taking? Why do you love being there? How are you contributing to the campus community? Why are you a good match? Write about it.
4. If You’ve Talked to People, Say So
- Whether it’s a tour guide, admissions counselor, coach or professor, making personal connections shows initiative and enthusiasm. So if you’ve talked to someone, write about it!
- Mention what you learned from the people you talked to, and be specific about how it pertains to you. For instance, “My tour guide was totally excited about the classes he was taking” is too general. But, “My tour told me how accessible all my bio profs will be,” is specific.
5. It’s Almost Never Too Late to Make a Personal Connection
- Even if your deadline’s looming you can probably get in touch with a student, alum, or coach.
- Start by finding emails and phone numbers online or through the admissions office. Google the local alumni association. Or use your own connections — if you have a friend with a relative or friend who went to the school you’re writing about, give them a call.
- Introduce yourself and ask questions – For instance, what kind of college experience they had, what professors they recommend, where you should live, what kind of majors you might enjoy, etc. Keep asking questions until you find something that gets you excited about going there!
Everyone who’s writing a “Why This School” essay
should try to make at least one personal connection.
Go Ahead! Discover what excites you and write about it. You’ll have a great “Why This School” essay.

Happy new year, everyone! I’m particularly pleased to wish you because, 2015 has turned out to be a spectacular year for motorcycles. It sets the tone for 2016. 2015 was one of those years when manufacturers, some happily and others reluctantly, paid more attention to motorcycle enthusiasts rather than commuters. The buffet spread for us still isn’t perfect, but man it looks better than it did this time last year!
The change of pace also reflected in our awards this year where enthusiasts’ motorcycles dominated proceedings and the commuters failed to get even a toe in the door. To the extent where even I was surprised at how unanimous the votes for the Yamaha YZF-R3 ultimately proved to be. This was, despite its price, a conclusion that the seven jury members each reached all by themselves. In fact, I was betting that the IMOTY would also go to the Yamaha long before the voting began. It’s been that kind of year.
Let’s quickly see the other highlights of the year. Honda, ever chasing market share and Hero’s market, suddenly gave us the CBR650F. Yes, it proved to be a little optimistic in price, but it’s a terrific motorcycle overall. I do think Honda could have done more " at least a more meaty upgrade to its other CBRs.
Hero’s premium bikes, though, didn’t fare quite so well. Both the Xtreme Sports and the Karizma (2014) were more miss than hit but it at least shows that Hero haven’t forgotten us enthusiasts and their new R&D head and his new team should give us vastly better, hopefully worldclass products.
All-new entrants were Benelli who opened up a big range of motorcycles at affordable price points. Genuine Italian and some Chinese-developed bikes create a whimsical range with a fair spread of options.
Bajaj finally redid their Pulsar line and I like the fact that they’re beginning to talk about more defined roles and hopefully the next generation comes soon with more specific hardware differences. Conspicuous by their absence were KTM who continued to sell their excellent value range of naked and sports motorcycles. But it broke many hearts when we learnt that the adventure (tour-enduro) bikes based on the Duke platform were on the backburner. I do hear that talks about bringing those bikes forward are on but no confirmations yet. TVS also had a quiet year apart from their Dainese-showcasing blue RTR advertisement. But I’ll circle back to them.
Suzuki was another brand which made no announcements after the Gixxer SF expanded the range. But the unprecedented success of the Gixxer would probably have moved the focus to consolidation rather than further range expansion.
Other players? Kawasaki added bikes, Vespa added a bigger scooter... Wow, it’s a long list.
But what is really exciting is that the head long rush of premium motorcycles is still on and shows no signs of abating.
Kawasaki have at least one new bike and one update on their 2016 to do list. Ditto Piaggio, who will probably show their first for-India motorcycle plus more focus on their CBU and incumbent CKD lines.
DSK and Benelli will probably be quiet for the beginning of the year but towards the end, the Leoncino and the TRK 502 should arrive bearing fresh engineering, modern day quality levels and hopefully, thrilling performance. The Tornado 302 should arrive too, bearing ABS.
KTM too should have something, at least significant updates to their line-up, though Bajaj’s reluctance to enter the CKD and CBU space with KTM is beginning to get on my nerves. Hero’s HX probably needs a fair amount of work thanks to Erik Buell’s iffy work on the Karizma and Xtreme Sports, but still, before 2016 is out, that bike should be out as well. Bad news for Impulse fans " the bigger engine-d bike is still on but not a priority.
Suzuki have big plans for 2016 as well and while they’re tight lipped about it, I’m convinced that there are at least two CKD products coming and maybe an expansion of the CBU line is also due. But the headline grabbers will be BMW and TVS. The G 310 R looks very delicious and it holds immense appeal and promise. In some ways, it’s the bike Honda should have done this year (sigh!). But yes, the BMW will be launched mid-year and the TVS version should come before the calendar year runs out.
All this action! It makes me want to jump up and down with excitement. It all kicks off with the Auto Expo (page 109) in February and I cannot wait. I hope you have terrific rides, immense amounts of fun and your guardian angel is always there when the need arises.
Happy new year, motorcycle lovers!

OK, the Red Sox got their first loss out of the way, and are now 1-1, as the defending AL champion Rays (still tough getting used to writing that) had their way with Jon Lester, getting five runs off him in five innings and cruised to a 7-2 at Fenway last night.
Lester looked very sharp the first two innings, striking out five of the first six hitters. But the fifth inning was his undoing. The Rays got two runs off him with the benefit of only one sharply hit ball. But Carlos Pena hit a long bomb into the bleachers that made it 5-1.
Terry Francona turned it over to the bullpen after that. In a scene eerily similar to Hideki Okajima in April 2007, Takashi Saito gave up a home run to Evan Longoria, the first batter he ever faced in a Red Sox uniform. The Sox had one last shot in the eighth, as Jed Lowrie came up with the bases loaded as the tying run with two out and the score 6-2. But he was called out on strikes to basically put the game on ice. (And what was with that strike zone by Bob Davidson last night? He was calling pitches six inches outside strikes for both teams. Brought back memories of the late Eric Gregg in the playoffs in 1997.)
It was a memorable night for Rocco Baldelli, as the Rhode Island-born outfielder made his Red Sox debut in right. He got one hit, and made a terrific sliding catch as well.
The only saving grace of the night was the Yankees, now alone in last in the AL East, got whacked by the Orioles, 7-5. Another starting pitcher of theirs, Chien-Ming Wang, got blasted for all seven runs. They have surrendered 17 runs in their first two games to the O's, and their newest Mr. Clutch, Mark Teixiera, went 1-fo-5, and is now batting .111.
Red Sox and Rays meet this afternoon with Daisuke Matsuzaka taking on Matt Garza. Make no mistake, the Rays are still a very good team, and this should be another grind-it-out race in the AL East. | <urn:uuid:50190925-f1c9-404d-8c80-c76b76f438fb> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://quinnmedia.blogspot.com/2009/04/undefeated-season-goes-by-boards.html | 2021-05-15T14:22:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243991370.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20210515131024-20210515161024-00553.warc.gz | en | 0.981425 | 462 |

Review of the workshop Introduction to Applying Proofreading Markup to PDFs with Barbara Tomlin (offered by Editors BC on March 19, 2016)
Although Barbara Tomlin’s workshop on applying PDF markup was directed toward new editors like myself, there were quite a few more experienced editors and proofreaders who attended, showing that with new technologies (and upgrades to programs) come new ways to mark up text. Even the experienced editors had questions and followed along closely as Barbara told us all about the best practices of applying proofreading markup to PDFs.
Before the workshop
About a week before the workshop happened, instructions were emailed to participants about which PDF reader would be used in the workshop so everybody could follow along seamlessly. Along with the program recommendation were specific, detailed instructions on how to download the basic proofreading stamps and add them into the program, if you didn’t have them already. These directions were easy to follow, and the marks were downloaded and ready to go in no time.
Knowing the difference between types of markup and when to use which type
In the workshop, Barbara went over two different types of markup that are available for use on PDFs. The first was the stamps we were instructed to load onto our computers prior to the workshop, which matched the proofreading markup that one would normally use when proofreading on hard copy. The other markup was using highlighting and arrow functions combined with various styles of text boxes to write more detailed responses to edits. Most people in the workshop appeared to be more comfortable with the stamps because they were already used to the marks from proofreading hard copy, but as a new editor I had not had much experience with either style, so learning both was definitely helpful.
What happens when the PDF did not come from a Word document?
This was the biggest takeaway for me from this workshop. I thought that all PDF documents were the same, but boy oh boy, was I wrong. Barbara spent quite a bit of time explaining the difference between PDFs that were created from Word documents and those that were taken from screen shots or other sources. It turns out that with the latter type of PDF, there are a lot of functions that do not work as they would with a Word document PDF. Some of these functions include highlighting and searching for text.
NEVER hide your markup…unless you have to
One thing that was repeated throughout the entire workshop was to never hide your markup. This seemed quite obvious to me, until some participants related events where their clients had specifically asked them to use sticky notes. Upon hearing this, Barbara appeared to cringe and explained that there are many problems with the sticky notes function in PDF readers, one being that your comments become hidden. While stamps, highlighting, and comment boxes all hit you straight in the face as you scroll down the document, the sticky notes (and a few other markup tools) can appear hidden if the user is scrolling too quickly through the document. However, she conceded that if the client asks for it, you must comply (but not necessarily without a discussion), and if you must use these hidden tools, try using them in such a way that they are easily visible—such as using the “Open All Pop-Ups” function.
All in all, as a new editor I found this workshop highly valuable in learning the dos and do nots of PDF markup. And, in talking to other workshop participants, it appeared to be productive and valuable for the more experienced editors as well.

It would depend on what type of business you are running, what will the business be doing?
Normal company tax is 28% of taxable income (income less deductions for tax purposes) regardless of how much the "profit" is. However some small businesses can pay no tax on the first R63 556 taxable income with favourable tax rates.

I'm starting an advertising magazine. If my calculations are correct and if everything goes according to plan the magazine can make - R40 000 per second week (R80 000 per month). After that the printing and distribution needs to be paid, also the staff, telephone, rent and other expenses.
So do I pay tax on the R80 000 per month (Tax R22 400) or do I pay tax after expenses is paid? Also If i want to register my company, how should I do it and where? Sorry if this questions sound stupid, just new to it all.
TaxTimsays: 16 January 2013 at 15:03
In order to register a company you can do one of two things:
1. Buy a shelf company from a legal firm or similar which could cost about R2 000 or go to www.cipc.co.za and you can download the forms and register a company yourself for about R475.

Why we are finally building a Notes Browser, why it took so long and why this is the best time to buy Ghostnote.
Ok we give in. You win! We are officially implementing a notes browser which will allow you to find all your notes in a central place. This has been one of the most requested features form way before we even builtGhostnote and you might be wondering why it took us so get to it. We always knew this was something we would have to eventually build so why did it take so long?
The truth is that yes we always knew we would have to implement it, but we wanted to hold it off for as long as possible because Ghostnote was built on the idea ofcontextual notes, not structured notes. The whole idea behind the app was to build something that didn’t require you to structure it. We also held back because we were afraid that people would just consider it a normal notes app like all the others out there. As you might have experienced yourself Ghostnote is not a concept you get from just reading contextual notes. You kind of have to try it out to see whats so unique about it.
Anyway. We feel like we have a big enough users base and enough feedback that it’s time to make Ghostnote a moremature platform. This also means we will be not only creating a notes browser, we will also allow you to create notes that aren’t tied to any app or document or website or folder so you can use Ghostnote as your primary note taking or todo app, not just for contextual notes.
Don’t panic. We will not change anything about how it works today. Instead we are going to build a separate app which will look more like a traditional app. We believe this will make Ghostnote even better than it already is.
This also means we are going to update the price moving forward to better reflect it’s value. So if you haven’t yet bought Ghostnote, but have been thinking about it, now is a good time to do so. Because we will soon be setting our price point to somewhere around $15-$20USD. Everyone who buys before next upgrade will get it at the current price. If you already bought it you won’t be paying for the new version.
As part of the coming update and enhancements we are going to add to Ghostnote we will be temporarily discontinuing our Evernote support. We love Evernote ourselves but have found a number of issues with the API which we think will be much easier do deal with once we build the Notes Browser.

A Pipeline Primer
Texas company’s proposed shale oil pipeline would be first major new pipeline in state since 2000
Friday, August 15, 2014 6:00 AM
It’s been nearly a decade and a half since a major interstate pipeline project was approved in Iowa. Until recently, it’s been easy to forget that there are hundreds of miles of pipelines across the state carrying products ranging from anhydrous ammonia and natural gas to oil.
By the Numbers:
30 inches - diameter of the pipeline
1,100 miles - total length of the pipeline
320,000 barrels of oil estimated capacity per day
In late June, Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners LP, one of the largest pipeline operators in the United States, announced plans for a 1,100-mile pipeline to carry crude oil from the shale oil fields in North Dakota to its hub in Patoka, Ill. The 30-inch diameter pipeline, which would bisect the state from northwest to southeast across 17 counties, would move as much as 320,000 barrels of oil daily. From Illinois, the pipeline would connect with the company’s existing Trunkline Pipeline to a terminal in Nederland, Texas. The company also plans to build a rail terminal in Illinois to access East Coast refineries.
The Dakota Access Pipeline would be the first major pipeline construction project of any kind in Iowa since the Alliance natural gas pipeline was built in 2000, said Rob Hillesland, an Iowa Utilities Board spokesman. The 2,311-mile Alliance Pipeline, which cuts through northeast Iowa, carries about 1.6 billion standard cubic feet of natural gas daily from western Canada and the Williston Basin to the Chicago market hub.
Hillesland said the siting and permitting process, landowner rights, agricultural land restoration and eminent domain review by the Iowa Utilities Board would be essentially the same for crude oil as for a natural gas pipeline.
Energy Transfer Partners entered the crude oil and refined products business two years ago when it acquired Sunoco Inc. and Sunoco Logistics Partners. That same year, it acquired Southern Union Co., a leading diversified natural gas company, which added more than 20,000 miles of pipeline to its portfolio.
The Bakken Shale oil fields in North Dakota produce more than 1 million barrels of crude oil daily, the bulk of which is currently moved by rail car. At least two other major pipeline companies are also working on projects to move more Bakken crude by pipeline, according to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal.
North Dakota regulators in June approved a plan by Enbridge Energy Partners LP for the 600-mile Sandpiper Pipeline. Construction began this month on the $2.6 billion project, which will carry 225,000 barrels a day from North Dakota to Clearbrook, Minn., beginning in 2016. And Houston-based Enterprise Product Partners LP hopes to build a 340,000-barrel-a-day pipeline from North Dakota to a storage hub in Oklahoma, although no final decisions have been made by the company’s board.

A good night’s sleep is essential for overall well-being, and the cornerstone of this nocturnal rejuvenation lies in the mattress. However, what many may not fully grasp is the science behind mattress degradation and its profound impact on sleep quality and health. In this exploration, we delve into the intricate details of why regular mattress replacements are not just a matter of preference but a crucial factor in ensuring a restful night’s sleep.
At the heart of the matter is the gradual wear and tear that occurs within the core of a mattress. The materials that compose a mattress, whether it be innerspring, memory foam, latex, or a hybrid combination, all undergo changes over time. These changes are influenced by various factors, such as body weight, temperature, humidity, and the frequency of use.
Compression and Sagging:
One of the primary culprits in mattress degradation is compression. Over time, the layers within a mattress compress due to the repeated weight applied by the sleeper. This compression leads to sagging, where certain areas of the mattress lose their original firmness and support. The result is an uneven surface that can contribute to discomfort and disrupted sleep.
The materials within a mattress experience natural breakdown processes. In memory foam mattresses, for instance, the cells that provide support and conform to body contours can lose their resilience over time. Innerspring mattresses may see a decline in the tension of springs, compromising their ability to provide the necessary support.
Dust Mites and Allergens:
Mattresses, as cozy and inviting as they may be, are also magnets for dust mites and allergens. These microscopic creatures thrive in the warm and humid environment provided by mattresses. As the materials degrade, the likelihood of harboring allergens increases, posing a potential risk to respiratory health.
The Impact on Sleep Quality:
The degradation of a mattress directly correlates with sleep quality. As the support and structure diminish, sleepers may experience discomfort, leading to tossing and turning throughout the night. A compromised mattress fails to provide the necessary spinal alignment, potentially contributing to back pain and musculoskeletal issues. Furthermore, the presence of allergens can disrupt respiratory patterns, leading to snoring, congestion, and overall sleep disturbances.
The Crucial Role of Regular Replacements:
Regular mattress replacements emerge as a necessity rather than a luxury when considering the science behind mattress degradation. The recommended replacement cycle of every 7-10 years is not arbitrary; it aligns with the typical lifespan of mattress materials and addresses the gradual decline in support and comfort. By adhering to this timeline, individuals ensure that their sleep environment remains conducive to optimal rest and health.
When contemplating mattress replacement, the choice of materials plays a pivotal role. Reputable suppliers like The Foam Factory offer a range of high-quality cushioning materials that align with the principles of durability, support, and comfort. Choosing a mattress from The Foam Factory ensures that the replacement process integrates the science behind sleep quality, contributing to a healthier and more restful slumber.
The science behind mattress degradation unveils the intricate processes that influence sleep quality and overall health. Understanding these dynamics reinforces the importance of regular mattress replacements. By choosing quality materials from suppliers like The Foam Factory, individuals can embark on a journey to ensure that their nightly repose is not just restful but a scientifically supported investment in their well-being. | <urn:uuid:7633b8e9-37b5-4bd2-9654-bb4e588067f4> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://www.homeinterioradvices.com/sleeping-soundly-the-science-behind-mattress-lifespan/ | 2024-03-03T02:21:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476180.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20240303011622-20240303041622-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.91766 | 697 |
You’ve likely heard of an airless bottle before. Perhaps it is one that you’ve seen standing behind the counter, waiting to be picked up at a beauty counter, or given as a freebie to a customer. But what is an airless bottle, and how is it changing the beauty industry?
In today’s market, more consumers have become concerned about this aspect, especially in the skin-care product industry. Airless packaging can keep the products fresher for longer and has been introduced to help sell more products.
Not only that, but it’s safer for your skin and more sanitary, too. Keep reading below to learn more about airless bottles.
Traditional vs Airless Bottles Packaging
Traditional bottles are what most people are familiar with. They have a screw-on cap and often have a pump attached to the top.
Airless bottles, on the other hand, are becoming more popular in the beauty industry. They have a pushdown pump that dispenses the product without any air exposure. This type of packaging is great for products that are sensitive to oxygen, like serums and face oils.
If you’re not already using airless bottles for your beauty products, it’s time to give them a try! You may check these wholesale airless pump bottles.
Airless Bottles Benefits
The beauty industry is abuzz with the new airless bottle technology. Airless bottles are increasingly becoming the packaging of choice for beauty products. Here’s why:
With regular beauty products, it’s not uncommon for them to start degrading shortly after being opened. This is due to several factors, including exposure to oxygen and light. However, airless bottles can help to slow this process down.
Airless bottles work by keeping the product sealed off from the outside environment. This means that it’s less likely to degrade as quickly. And, as a bonus, it also means that the product is less likely to go off before you’ve had a chance to use it all up!
Airless bottles prevent the oxidization of products, which means that products maintain their potency and freshness for longer. This extends the shelf life of products, which is a major cost-saving measure for beauty brands.
In addition, airless bottles protect against contamination, which is another major concern for the beauty industry. By using airless bottles, brands can be sure that their products are of the highest quality when they reach consumers.
This means that less product is left behind when the customer finishes using it, which is good for both the environment and the bottom line. You can also control the amount of product you hand out, which helps prevent waste.
Airless bottles are made without using any petroleum products, and they are completely recyclable. They are often made with recycled materials, making them even more eco-friendly. Because they don’t require the use of pumps or other devices to dispense the product, they are also much more hygienic.
Airless Bottles Are The Future Of Packaging
If you’re looking for a way to step up your beauty game, switching to airless bottles may be the way to go. These bottles are not only more aesthetically pleasing, but they’re also more functional, making them a great investment.

GDPR tips and information with Spanish Point
From May 25th 2018, a new European privacy law called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect. The GDPR expands the privacy rights granted to EU individuals, and it places many new obligations on organisations that market to, track or handle EU personal data, no matter where an organisation is located.
What is GDPR?
A new comprehensive data protection law in the EU that updates existing laws to strengthen the protection of personal data in light of rapid technological developments, increased globalization, and more complex international flows of personal data. It replaces the patchwork of national data protection laws currently in place with a single set of rules, directly enforceable in each EU member state.
What does the GDPR regulate?
The GDPR regulates the “processing,” which includes the collection, storage, transfer or use, of personal data about EU individuals. Any organization that processes personal data of EU individuals, including tracking their online activities, is within the scope of the law, regardless of whether the organization has a physical presence in the EU. Importantly, under the GDPR, the concept of “personal data” is very broad and covers any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (also called a “data subject”).
Key GDPR Changes
Enhanced Personal Privacy
Strengthened data protection for individuals within the European Union (EU) by ensuring they have the right: to have access to data, to correct inaccuracies, to erase data, to object to processing of their information, and to move their data
Increased duty for protecting data
Reinforced accountability of companies and public organizations that process Personal Data, providing increased clarity of responsibility in ensuring compliance
Mandatory breach reporting
Companies are required to report data breaches to their supervisory authorities without undue delay, and generally no later than 72 hours
Steep sanctions, including substantial fines that are applicable whether an organization has intentionally or inadvertently failed to comply
How you can get started with GDPR compliance
Given how much work may be involved in preparing, you should not wait until they begin enforcing the regulations in May 2018. You need to begin reviewing your privacy and data governance policies and procedures now. Many organizations take this opportunity to review data strategy and modernize infrastructure. We recommend you begin your journey to compliance with the GDPR by focusing on four key steps:
Identify what personal data you have and where it resides
Govern how personal data is used and accessed
Establish security controls to prevent, detect, and respond to vulnerabilities and data breaches
Keep required documentation, manage data requests and breach notifications | <urn:uuid:d6d7c224-18f8-42de-a566-7949d4ff1765> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://spanishpoint.ie/gdpr-compliance/ | 2019-04-26T15:39:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578841544.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190426153423-20190426175423-00023.warc.gz | en | 0.91949 | 535 |
I chose version 1, a more fitted trouser with an invisible side zip and I opted for a straight across bib. The pattern also includes a looser trouser with pull on waist and a curved bib so you can mix and match the style elements. Size wise, following the body measurement guidelines, I cut out a size 2 bib; widening to 4 at the waist, and a size 4 lower half. I could manage to squeeze a full length pair out of 2 metres but I wanted the summery feel of the cropped style. The length of these uses the pattern hem line; I am 5' 5"/ 164cm in height. It's a well written pattern and fitting is minimal as the apron ties bring the waist in and out.
The only change I made was adding a layer of Liberty lawn to interline the pockets as they are sewn on to the front and I thought the linen would bag out in use. I also added a light fusible interfacing strip into the zip side seams. Otherwise, everything was as written in the pattern.A future change I would make would be to stay stitch the underarm section of the bib and maybe interface it with a very lightweight fusible as it did go a little out of shape at the edges.
The fit is good, especially in the trouser section. Dungarees are not the most flattering look on the derrière but I think these have the balance about right and you could easily make a few adjustments to make them more fitted, or choose the looser trouser pattern and have a baggy look. The size 2 bib is very slightly short and in hindsight, size 4 throughout would've been fine but the difference is minimal. They are a satisfying make and great to wear on a hot day out, the leg has just the right width to it, they look wide leg and not like clown pants! I have the Tea Dress in my dressmaking queue, along with some beautiful linen from USA so I'm tempted to start that next.
Other dungaree pattern suggestions:

The Hammer and Nigel Show
Abdul vs Todd Rokita
Friday, Luke Messer joined Hammer & Nigel and hinted that someone in the Indiana GOP Senate Race may be bailing on the April 30th televised debate. Then, he tells us the name he has heard is Todd Rokita.
Next, a story came out that was picked-up by the AP. “Rokita skipping televised Indiana GOP Senate debate, complains about 'leftist propoganda’.
The nonprofit Indiana Debate Commission announced Friday that U.S. Rep. Luke Messer and former state Rep. Mike Braun had agreed to the April 30 debate that will be made available to TV stations throughout the state.
According to the debate commission, Rokita’s campaign manager Bryan Reed said the congressman had scheduling conflicts and that he would only participate in primary debates “organized and moderated by conservative Republicans.”
The full release can be read here:
"The Rokita campaign believes debates in the Republican Primary should be hosted by conservative and Republican organizations which get into the issues Republicans care about, not leftist propaganda and gotcha questions from liberal media figures, liberal college professors, or other parties interested in attacking Republicans and re-electing Joe Donnelly," the press release says.
The Indiana Debate Commission event is being moderated by our very own Abdul Hakim-Shabazz. There are allegations that Abdul has bad blood and bias towards Rokita's camp.We have him on the show to talk about all the drama.
"Obvisouly, somebody is worried about something. Hopefully, the Rokita people will release that this is not a good strategy." | <urn:uuid:2d6c8ab5-6bd0-4fac-b0ba-abfabc619533> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.wibc.com/blogs/hammer-and-nigel-show/abdul-vs-todd-rokita | 2018-09-26T05:40:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267163326.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20180926041849-20180926062249-00280.warc.gz | en | 0.966653 | 347 |
Several things happened during the Twins' 4-3 victory over Texas that are worth seeing again.
First, there was center fielder Aaron Hicks reaching over the wall to rob Donnie Murphy of a home run:
Here's the link to the ground ball on which Eduardo Nunez veered around Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre to keep the Twins' ninth-inning tally going. Nunez was not called for running out of the baseline because he was giving Beltre a chance to field the ball -- and because Beltre made no attempt to tag him, according to the umpire.
And here's a look at Danny Santana's spinning 40-foot tap that Rangers reliever Joakim Soria muffed for an error that ended the game.
And finally, after 1,594 at-bats, former Twins outfielder Ben Revere has a homerun! Good for him. | <urn:uuid:b7f53551-5e1c-4182-b015-6625e1c9f1fa> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.startribune.com/watch-wild-plays-help-twins-win-and-a-ben-revere-home-run/260919721/ | 2018-05-21T21:38:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864544.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521200606-20180521220606-00505.warc.gz | en | 0.96611 | 180 |
A good walkout song in the UFC is intended to represent a fighter's overall personality going into the bout. It is carefully chosen with the intention of hyping up the fighters and their team, pumping up the audience (when they are present), and even intimidating the opponent.
Lil Baby has been a repeat choice of UFC stars for their walkout music. Three prominent UFC fighters have used the rapper-singer for their entrance song to date. Here's a look at the three fighters.
1. Eric Shelton
The first time UFC heard Lil Baby was during the entrance of Eric Shelton at UFC Fight Night 139.
Eric Shelton used Lil Baby's most popular song, Drip Too Hard, when he walked out to face Joseph Morales in the early prelims of the card. Lil Baby proved lucky for Shelton, as he defeated Morales via a split decision.
Drip Too Hard was part of Lil Baby's 2018 mixtape Drip Harder. The song went on to rank at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 of that year.
2. Kevin Lee
Kevin Lee used Back On by Lil Baby and Quality Control at UFC Fight Night 170.
Lee faced Charles Oliveira in a main event lightweight bout and he was submitted by the grappling artist half a minute into the third round with a guillotine choke.
3. Kevin Holland
'Trailblazer' Kevin Holland walked out to the music of Lil Baby at the last pay-per-view of 2020, UFC 256.
All In played in the background as Kevin Holland made his way to the octagon to face Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza. Holland stunned Souza in the first round with a superb knockout from the bottom.
'Jacare' Souza had him pinned when Holland succeeded in making some space and swinging himself around to land a huge left straight to the face, followed by a flurry of punches before the referee intervened.
With the win, Kevin Holland secured his fifth consecutive UFC victory in 2020. He had already called out the middleweight champion Israel Adesanya before, and even engaged in a heated verbal exchange with the Last Stylebender.
At the post-fight interview of UFC 256, Kevin Holland called out the up-and-coming Khamzat Chimaev, who is set to face Leon Edwards next.
The entry songs are not the only connection Lil Baby has with UFC. He was also part of the the Reebok #SplitFrom campaign with Conor McGregor in 2018. | <urn:uuid:51e86f8c-3ff8-48ab-9061-121b86f57f12> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/how-many-ufc-stars-used-lil-baby-walkout-songs?ref=relatedmid | 2022-08-18T23:19:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573533.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818215509-20220819005509-00297.warc.gz | en | 0.964219 | 512 |
Primary School: Two meetings were held on Monday to inform parents, staff and members of the village about proposed changes to the Primary School. We are assured that the children will probably be unaware of any changes, but the management structure will alter from the beginning of the new school year, if the proposals are accepted. Two changes have been amalgamated, and the proposal is that the school becomes an academy, and also that its management will be by a joint body including Peasmarsh and Winchelsea schools. The Trust overseeing this change will be the diocese, as all three schools are Church of England Primaries. All the people involved seemed very experienced in their field and optimistic for the future, so I think we are in good hands.
Christian Aid: The annual Coffee Morning which rounds off our Christian Aid collection is on Saturday 10-12 in the Church Centre, alongside the popular Plant Sale at The Byre House all day. If you enjoy taking your pick from the stall opposite the surgery car park throughout the year, you will want to take this opportunity to see the lovely garden and a large choice of excellent plants, all in a good cause.
Pentecost: St Mary’s Church invites everyone to celebrate Pentecost and the completion of the external building work which has made the church sound and ready for decoration. Thanks and rededication will be part of the service at 10.30am, then there will be an Open Afternoon with cream teas and craft activities. If you take your Teddy Bear along, it can “fly” from the church tower on a zip wire! Ending the day, there will be an informal praise service at 5pm.
Jumble Sale: If you didn’t sort out your jumble in time for the Chitiwiri collection, the Village Hall Trust’s next Jumble Sale is on Saturday 30th at 2.30pm. Jumble can be taken to the hall in the morning, or call Marie Edwards (253264) if you need to arrange collection. There will be a Book Sale in the Jenkins Room, so it’s worth a visit.
Garden Safari: On Sunday 31st May, five gardens will be open in aid of the Bonfire Society. Programmes will be on sale at Goddens Gill Green, and all the gardens (and the teas) are within walking distance. It’s such a treat to be able to see what other people do with their garden – and perhaps be inspired. Invite your friends, and have a relaxing day. Gardens are open from 11am until 5pm.
Chitiwiri: £510.60 was raised for Chitiwiri School in Malawi thanks to an amazing amount of bags left with Sally Bickersteth who asks me to pass on many thanks to all who contributed. The money raised will go towards cooking pots, charcoal burners, plates, spoons etc. to equip the kitchen that we have built with previous donations. This will enable the school to provide a feeding programme for the school children during the “hungry months” of January to March.
Garage Sale: Sally and Richard will be holding a Garage Sale on Saturday 6th June in aid of all the projects in Chitiwiri. Any good quality bric-a-brac can be left at Forge House (the old Post Office) - we’re beginning to get into the hang of this! If you need collection or information, call Sally or Richard on 01797 252108 or 07903338614. And make a note of the date to go along and see if you can pick up a bargain!!!

Red Rose Reproductions
Working as tool and die maker for some twenty years, Dan Schwank made tools, jigs and fittings for industrial manufacturing processes. Over the last eight years however, he has built a business that makes tools that go directly into the hands of the user.
Based in Pennsylvania, USA and trading as Red Rose Reproductions, Dan handcrafts immaculately finished wooden bodied handplanes, including the irons they are fitted with.
It was Dan’s father-in-law that introduced him to woodworking by offering, as a gift, to buy the materials for a cabinet that he would then help him to make. Later on, attending classes with period furniture maker Gene Landon also spurred an interest in hand tools. However when acquiring tools he ‘ran into a roadblock’ when it came to buying moulding planes, so he started to make his own.
The spill plane is a flagship product and a has unique connection with pre-industrial times. ‘It’s a little bit of a backwards tool in that the shaving is what you use’, Dan explained. The spiral shavings that the spill plane creates were used to transfer flame, much like a match. When others saw the first few he made they also wanted one and before long Dan had orders for more.
The Red Rose range now includes hollows and rounds, side bead and other moulding planes, not to mention a raised panel plane, winding sticks and a bench hook. On top of that Dan also makes period furniture to order. The spill planes can also be ordered in kit form.
Quartersawn American beech is used for the handplanes because of its similarity to the traditional choice of European beech for plane bodies. Beech is not commonly used for furniture making, explained Dan, but has several characteristics which make it suitable. ‘It has the right density and acclimates quickly, going from winter to summer and summer to winter…and beech has a high wear characteristic, it will take crisp detail and wear very well.'
While he machines wood for the bodies with a planer and jointer – ‘that’s just for the rough work’ – Dan finishes all his handplanes by hand.
Blades are also produced in-house from O1 tool steel. ‘I have a machinist who does the machine work, then I do my own shaping, heat treating, tempering, flattening and sharpening,’ he said.
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in hand tool woodworking which seems to reflect Dan’s own journey. ‘People like the quiet, the real hands-on. A machine is one thing, but when you’re doing it by hand you have to be more in tune with your tools and your wood.’

On my S5, this disables one of the charging sounds, but I'm looking for a way to disable the other one... it's the little sound that goes "donk dink". The reason I want to kill this one is because I use a Qi car mount and sometimes charging will reactivate itself... which triggers that sound again. If I'm listening to music at the time that's really annoying because it actually lowers my volume for a second in addition to playing the sound.
Does anyone know how to disable THAT?
That said, I know I'm answering a very old post but the solution to the wireless charging notification disable is found in Wanam's module (the #1 must have module) | <urn:uuid:04aa0097-c3f5-47eb-bf8c-78df88fb592a> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-wireless-charging-sound-t2727053 | 2018-07-21T19:43:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676592654.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20180721184238-20180721204238-00260.warc.gz | en | 0.964205 | 146 |
Seeking Common Ground, Task Force Issues Guidelines
Saying that "public education is too important ... to be reduced to nothing more than a battlefield in the cultural wars," a task force of education and religious leaders issued a set of guidelines last week for debate over school reform.
The 13 organizations that make up the National Task Force on Seeking Common Ground for the Improvement of Public Education hope their efforts will foster more civil debate and agreement among traditionally antagonistic groups.
"Focused, forthright, but always respectful, debate on shaping public education will almost always lead to better schools," the group says in a five-page statement. "We are also confident that candid discussion will often reveal that there is more common ground than conventional wisdom acknowledges."
The group, which includes the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, Citizens for Excellence in Education, the National Association of Evangelicals, and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, was convened by the American Association of School Administrators, based in Arlington, Va.
More than a year ago, AASA officials began private meetings with conservative religious groups to promote a dialogue between those groups and public educators. (See Education Week, Nov. 23, 1994.)
Rules for Debate
In the statement released last week, the group urges:
- "Generous exercise of ... discretion" by administrators in allowing students to opt out of certain instruction, such as sex education, if it conflicts with their parents' religious beliefs.
- A recognition that some disputes, including many arising under the religious-freedom clauses of the U.S. Constitution, "have been settled by law."
- Acknowledgment by parents that while they have "a special and immediate interest in what schools do ... other constituencies, including the community as a whole, also have a real and direct stake in public education."
- Ensuring that debate over public education does not distract from learning in the classroom, and that it "is motivated by a concern for the interest of students and public education, not by personal or partisan advantage."
No widespread distribution of the guidelines is planned. But several member groups said they would publicize the statement among their constituencies. | <urn:uuid:c11670b0-f8ef-4bc1-bf22-baacc6245f67> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/1996/02/21/22common.h15.html | 2016-12-06T22:03:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542002.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00342-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96882 | 444 |
In Salvador, the protest march on 19 June snaked in a wave of red T-shirts and banners from Campo Grande through Vitória and Graça to Porto da Barra in the south of the city, and from there to the white lighthouse of Farol da Barra, surrounded by the deep blue of the Baía de Todos os Santos. The march on 3 July took a different route, down Avenida Centenario and past the Morro de Cristo, to the same destination. Both were reasonably large, loud, diverse, young and festive, with several left-wing political parties and movements, as well as competing PA systems and drummers with chants, rants, music and dancing. Afro-Brazilians of all ages were well represented. There were no robocop riot police: hardly any police at all, in fact, except to direct traffic. Some older residents unfurled red PT flags from their windows. As the event headed towards closing, people sat on the hillside to watch the sun set in a marbled sky. | <urn:uuid:2fb8059f-5538-496d-8f14-678f8490a453> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.lrb.co.uk/contributors/people/forrest-hylton | 2021-07-28T03:58:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153521.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20210728025548-20210728055548-00145.warc.gz | en | 0.976655 | 218 |
The general release is finally here and we took our time to make further improvements.
Search…Manipulate…Design & Make
V5Pro is now 64bit, a complete re-write. It's our biggest undertaking as yet. Here is just a short list of the key improvements.
- 64 bit application - new code, rewritten, meant to take advantage of new OS developments as well as things we’ve been germinating on.
- AudioUnit DSP processing - building upon our original VSTRack, we’ve added support for AudioUnits. The new DSPRack features improved plugin search, presets, output format and output channel controls.
- New search methods - new left panel Filter Search, chained search pills, Tag to Database function, all improve upon our industry leading search engine.
- Speed Improvements(Scanning, waveform zooming, etc) - 64 bit allows us to go in and optimize things making all these functions quicker and taking advantage of new hardware improvements.
- Built in Radium sampler - This changes everything in sound design. Integrated interface that easily connects to any MIDI controller, allows up to 5 layers of sounds, each with their own array of filters, modulation, envelopes and plugin settings. Don’t worry, tutorials exist but it won’t take long before you are creating new sounds! (Not available when using ReWire)
- Updated UI - we took the opportunity to improve, but not drastically change what has become a comfortable tool for many.
- User Experience improvements, including custom database ordering, field ordering. Little things, but important things.
- Assignable watch folders that scan items in the background. You can auto ingest new content now by simply setting a watch folder!
- Cantar Mode scanning and operation - improvements for dialogue editors and importing from field recorders.
- Cloud advancements - HTTP with a smart new improved proxy engine and an interface to allow to playback directly from an Amazon S3 cloud bucket.
And to help, we’ve created an online manual which we will improve and add to over time, making it a perfect go-to reference when stuck. Look for a ? mark in certain areas of the program to view that part of the manual.
There are some caveats all users should note: First NO MORE SD2 files. These files are finally dead so if you haven't moved over, you need to convert them using our Mirror feature to aif or wave. V5Pro uses a new database paradigm, so the new databases are different. It will require embedding with your previous version as the files will need to be rescanned under V5. A Database/Spotting Panel/Playlist converter is being built but is not as yet ready.
Users who purchased NEW 4.5pro licenses(not upgraded) after October 2018 have been sent an email allowing them to upgrade for free. If you don't receive it contact firstname.lastname@example.org with their order info.
And for those worried about the transition, the license comes with a special version of 4.5pro that works off the V5Pro license to help you transition!
And for those wondering about a V5 Standard and a 64-bit version of the HD platform, work on that will begin now that V5Pro is largely complete.
*Users are also given access to a 4.5pro version to help in the transition(10.9 minimum requirement).
Upgrades from v4.5Pro are just $150 and available here

Beneath, around the superimposition of this commercial reality, a bedraggled man sits on the sidewalk. He waves a cup in the air, his movements both frantic and ritualized: "Can anyone help? Can anyone help? Can anyone help?" His voice is seemingly on mute to the pedestrians who pass, unphased. We are part of this herd of suits--inured to suffering, trained in suspicion, secretly knowing ourselves to be complicit, somehow, in this stranger's hunger and pain. Caught in mechanics of misery, our response is bafflement, our defense denial. We crank the headphones louder. We poison ourselves with distraction. Distraction, we think, is killing us. But, hey, it works.
Within the Grid, news easily becomes advertisement, a vacuous replay of images, soundbytes, memes. It behooves us not to pay close attention, to take recourse in the repetitive amnesias of consumption-- ADHD as survival skill. We are interested in history primarily through the lens of "ironically" retro fashion and period sitcoms, those repetitive narratives without social context or historical trajectory. Collectively we entrust the American memory to the History Channel, a media outlet that offers us familiar narratives of the presidency in one hour and, in the next, seeks to persuade us that alien intervention is the most plausible explanation for ancient human ingenuity.
Caught in the machinations of our installed reality, we fail to notice that other ubiquitous product of our so-called free society: prefabricated opinion. Like fashion, we choose opinion from the range of what is available that season, believing the style to be the free expression of our true selves. Opinion arrives off-the-rack--thought not as an act of creation but as a fill-in-the-blank, a choice between Pepsi and Coke. The private, the home made--all that which does not fit neatly inside the Grid--is a misshapen emanation evoking bafflement and dismissal. The Green Man not as the embodiment of wildness but rather a curiosity to be photographed or shrugged off. She is the mythical understood as mascot.
Yet from the margins--those expended, dismissed, or useless spaces--private acts of consciousness may still push back. The Green Man emanates, a tangible body giving form to environmental degradation and human desolation. She is the embodiment of our private sorrow. Behind her, she drags the baggage of the dispossessed--a block of chalk, rolled strips of The Wall Street Journal, stray coins, a broken boot. Deep inside the Grid, she strikes out, weaving through the crowds of suits, scraping by, leaving her temporary mark. Deprived a place in which to rest, she makes herself legible, if only temporarily. The Green Man has at her disposal the ability to disappear into a different kind of time and space. When she reappears, as she always does, it is through acts of conscious privacy. When she is seen, it is through a wilderness of mind. From the margins, she emerges into the social realm, inviting engagement, offering question. Her appearance is, as it has ever been, transitory. Her emanation--here, now--is a necessary act of resistance. | <urn:uuid:95e9c825-bfb1-4fce-8188-7fe8c9b5b521> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://anneshaw.carbonmade.com/projects/6282978 | 2017-04-28T06:10:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917122865.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031202-00366-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.938843 | 664 |
Uzay Bulut stated that by writing about Turkish atrocities in Cyprus in 1974, and of the injustices metted out to the Greek Cypriots which haunt them to this day, she is just following her journalistic duty and her heart. She hopes that by exposing the truth to average Turks that, in the end, it will help her country tear down the walls of propaganda that the state of Turkey is built on. "I feel very angry when, on the one hand, I see Turkish TV channels denouncing and criticizing Netanyahu for attacks in Gaza, while, on the other hand, I see glowing TV reports from the same TV channels featuring the Turkish government's "peacekeeping operation" in Cyprus," she stated emphatically.
She gave the following interview on SigmaLive News
Your article has caused quite a stir in Cyprus. Many Turks dismiss your position and don't believe that someone of Turkish ancestry - especially a Turkish journalist - would dare point their finger at Turkey as it pertains to the atrocities that took place in Cyprus in 1974. In order to downplay your position, many Turks claim that you are not of Turkish ancestry but of Kurdish descent. For the record, what is your ethnic background?
I am a Turk. Because I often discuss the Kurdish issue, many believe that I am of Kurdish origins. But I am a Turk.
Why did you feel it was necessary to compare the events of Gaza with those of Cyprus?
I was watching a report on TV which motivated me to compare the Turkish attitude towards Israel, Hamas and Cyprus. I watched the news and the first issue on the program was the Israeli operations in Gaza. Turkish officials and especially Erdogan, condemned Israel for its operations in Gaza. The second report concerned the "celebrations" of the 40th anniversary of "peacekeeping operation" in Cyprus.
Politicians and military officials exchanged handshakes, gave speeches and celebrated the "victory" (as the Cyprus event is called in Turkey) in a "festival of peace and freedom." I, of course, through my research knew of a different story. I knew about the crimes committed by Turkey in Cyprus and was outraged at the blatant falsification of history. Murder, torture, rape, theft of property, concentration camps, illegal detention and other crimes against humanity that took place in a land in which Turkey had no historical connection to or moral right to do so.
I felt so angry and shocked at seeing this tragic event and grave injustice being celebrated in Turkey while at the same time condemning a military operation in another country - Israel. For this, I thought, that this hypocrisy must be exposed. And I wrote that piece which was my first article concerning Cyprus. I really did not expect that article to have become an article of interest.
You mentioned propaganda being pushed by Turkish media as it pertains to the Cyprus problem. Do Turkish citizens actually know what has happened in Cyprus in the last five decades and how the Cyprus issue started? Do the majority of Turks believe this propaganda?
Unfortunately most people in Turkey do not know the truth about Cyprus. They feed off of the Turkish version of events which are deliberately distorted. I, too, was one of them so I know from personal experience the magnitude of Turkish propaganda. From our first years in school, we are exposed to Turkish state propaganda, or in other words a fantasy or a false version of history. I remember that on national holidays both the state of Turkey and the so-called (unrecognized) Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus were both praised.
There are two myths that have been created for Turkish society - that of Turkey's presence in Cyprus and that of the establishment of a "legal" Turkish government on the island. Turkish people have been indoctrinated to believe that the northern part of the island has always been mainly Turkish and is, therefore, not seen as a colonization process. It is seen as a process where Turkey returned back to "Turkish soil."
They do not know that the majority of Turks who are currently in the occupied north is a result of ethnic cleansing. They do not know that thousands of Greek Cypriots were evicted from their property and had to be transferred to the south and that their homes were given to Turkish Cypriots and settlers from Turkey who moved to the occupied area in order to alter the demographic character of the island. If you do a search on Google, in the Turkish language on the Turkish invasion, you will only see that all the results from the search will only show "Turkish peace operation" or "British annexation of Cyprus." So, unless a Turk knows the English language and conducts some independent research to learn the facts, that person will never know about the pervasive nature of Turkish propaganda.
This propaganda is served to Turks as a "peacekeeping operation" of Turkey in Cyprus, which according to the narrative, was needed due to the violence of the Greek Cypriots against the Turkish Cypriots. We have always been told that Turkish Cypriots were slaughtered by Greek Cypriots and, therefore, Turkey had to intervene to protect them. This is, therefore, what Turks believe. Nowhere is it mentioned that the island has a Greek history and culture which dates back 3,000 years. Therefore, the majority of Turks believe that the so-called "peacekeeping operation" was lawful and necessary. If a lie is repeated often, it becomes truth. The Turkish state propaganda for Cyprus is perhaps one of the longest and most systematic propaganda ever conducted in world history.
We have seen many events in Turkey related to freedom of the press, a freedom which has been brutally crushed. Journalists were murdered or imprisoned...are you not afraid that what you write will result in something bad happening to you?
I know the risks. Theoretically. I have supported the Kurds in the past and nothing has happened to me. So, I hope that neither this time would anything happen to me. If something does happen to me, then for me it means that I did my job well. If there is a cost that I must pay, then I will rely on old and new friends to help me get over it. Right now I am just doing what my journalistic duties demand of me and what feels right in my heart with the hope that, in the end, I will help my country.
Do Turkish journalists perceive that they act as promoters of political propaganda when writing about Cyprus? Do they believe and argue that in 1974 Turkey actually conducted a "peacekeeping operation" in Cyprus?
It would not be correct for me to speak of behalf of all journalists. But I can say that most Turks, whether leftists or centrists or rightists or conservatives, liberals or Islamists know little about Cyprus.
To give you an impression of freedom of the press and of expression in Turkey I will give you an example of a recent incident. On December 28, 2011, a Turkish F-16 fighter bombed the Roboski region of the Sirnak province killing a total of 34 Kurdish citizens including 17 children. The victims were involved in smuggling cheap cigarettes and gasoline. The bodies of the victims were found charred and in unrecognizable condition.
Turkish media chose not to cover this murderous attack which lasted for 12 hours until an official announcement by the Turkish Armed Forces was made. This tragic event shows you just how much freedom there is in the press.
Now as it pertains to the more open-minded journalists...unfortunately there are not many in Turkey. Even the few open-minded journalists know that there are limits when it comes to Cyprus since it is a taboo subject for Turkey.
Although the intransigent stance of Turkey on Cyprus is pretty much a given, can Cypriots still hope that something will change? Can Turkish society play a role for a direction (on Cyprus)?
Before answering this question we should first take into account facts concerning the Kurdish issue. In Turkey there are 20 million Kurds. Up until the year 2000 it was forbidden in Turkey to say that "I am a Kurd." They were not allowed to establish their own political parties from 1920 up to 1990. The Kurds have suffered great humiliation by the Turkish state. And this all in a period of over 90 years. They can't teach their own language. They are not even recognized as a separate ethnic group under the Turkish constitution. The fact that, to date, the Kurdish issue has not been solved, that is directly due to Turkey's harsh and aggressive behavior towards the Kurdish population, which continues via a long-standing policy of "you are either a Turk or you will be destroyed."
Now with regard to a Cyprus solution, I know that the Turkish Cypriot minority refers to self-determination. Self-determination is a good thing. But in what land do they implement self-determination? Who gave them the land? Those who invaded and caused preventable havoc? When did this Turkish community ever have a majority in any part of Cyprus? Do the Turks in Germany have the right of self-determination? How about the muslims of the Netherlands or France?
I really do not know what the five permanent members of the Security Council think. If they can not solve the Cyprus problem, which ethical problem can they solve? Will they one day allow any minority group in any country of the world to simply demand the protection of an outside powerful protector (a guarantor country) to help them eventually secede from said state? What kind of "wise" precedent are they trying to create in Cyprus? I fear that there is more at stake in Cyprus from what is actually seen with the naked eye. In my view there are two important issues. The first is how to distribute the power between the majority and a large national minority. We have the same problem in Turkey and recently an identical problem in Ukraine. Cyprus is an opportunity for the United Nations to act as a catalyst for solving such a problem by offering the international community a principle-based model for similar conflicts worldwide.
I think we all agree that neither arms, nor the violation of human rights can be part of the solution of any problem. Regarding the security issue of the Turkish Cypriots, whether this security issue actually exists or not, look at the example of the Kurds and I think you can understand the double standards applied by my country. Accordingly, then, the two key issues are, the distribution of power and security, both of which can be solved in an easier way under the current constitution and perhaps changing the basis of the negotiations. If we were to ask all Cypriots under one referendum, they would certainly agree with that. On this occasion, I ask: Why are there always two separate referendums? Why such distinction? This would seem strange to outsiders. This is unacceptable in the 21st century. Also, why don't all Cypriots learn Greek? In Turkey everyone learns Turkish and we have many ethnic groups, yet, we all learn Turkish. If the Turkish Cypriots learned Greek, then they would be able to reclaim government jobs, and would be better equipped to handle their fears against the intentions of the country's majority. Anyway before the occupation, all Turkish Cypriots spoke Greek.
Many are discussing the importance of the upcoming election in Turkey. Is it really that important?
This election will see Erdogan installed as an "absolute leader." In a twisted kind of way it is good because he may be able to steer Turkey down a better path. However, this issue also has two sides that must be examined: first we do not know where he (Erdogan) wants to take the country and the second is that many people oppose his personal aspirations. In short, I am not very optimistic. We can start climbing a mountain with the skills of a world-class climber but, the point is, to choose the right mountain to reach its peak. | <urn:uuid:c854b5f4-335e-4d79-8017-a1b88675bc7c> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://www.macedonianleague.org/news/turkish-journalist-uzay-bulut-turkish-propaganda-angers-me | 2018-01-19T23:14:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084888302.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180119224212-20180120004212-00671.warc.gz | en | 0.976194 | 2,397 |
Google's groundbreaking “Parisian Love” Super Bowl ad touched the hearts of many a viewer when it aired this past Sunday. Three days later, however, Internet video directors are showing their cynical sides.
"Parisian Love" was a milestone for the search giant — marking its first major push into the realm of television advertisements. It was also a viewer favorite, scoring the second most-liked spot with Hulu users and garnering more than its share of buzz on social media networks.
Well, you know the old adage: The bigger they are, the harder they fall. The rampant success of the spot has touched off a series of parody remakes, many of which have to do with love gone wrong. And that makes sense, given that V-Day is just around the corner. Despite some bright spots in the realm of social media amour, the following videos just go to show that deep within each of us beats a heart not made of spun sugar and love, but rather iron ore and bitterness. Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!
For the sake of comparison.

Margaret Dickinson. Yorkshire’s Ancient Secrets and Curiosities.
Maggie had been a fell walker for over 20 years and a member of
the famous Clarion Cycle Club. Through these activities she
gained a love and intimate knowledge of Yorkshire which was
borne out through her talk and backed up with an excellent
collection of her own photographs presented on screen.
Her talk started with the area historically called East Riding
which covered places that were a little bit off the beaten
track, hence the title of her talk.
These ranged from the strange stone monoliths in the village of
Rudston. The reason for their existence was not explained but
then the reason might just have been lost over the centuries.
Images were shown of idyllic village scenes but not just for
their beauty alone. They each had some historical, often little
known, connection. Rudston, for instance, was the birthplace of
Winifred Holtby, author of the book, South Riding.
Kirby Grindalythe, was shown probably in part because of its
Another image showed the view of a watery meadow from the steps
of a country church. Very pretty but Maggie added it was the
view from All Saints Church, Brompton by Sawdon. And on 4
October 1802 would have been seen by the poet William Wordsworth
as he left the church with his new bride, Mary Hutchinson.
A particular gem was a view of a turf cut maze, one of only 8 in
England. This particular one was close to the villages of
Brandsby, Dalby and Sheriff Hutton. This is one of 3 in the
country nicknamed the ‘City of Troy’, the city in present day
Turkey mentioned in ancient Greek literature, due to the
difficulty of finding a way out after entering it.
Maggie B. Dickinson
the remains of Sheriff Hutton’s castle were featured due to its
Richard III association. It was owned by the Neville family and
housed the king’s niece and nephew.
Onto the Yorkshire Dales with a particular focus on Dent and
Dent Dale, now in present day Cumbria but don’t tell that to the
locals. Maggie spoke of her family connection with the area and
its special identity, such as the ‘Terrible Knitters’. Those
men, women and children were, in modern day parlance, ‘extreme’
Dent is the birthplace of Adam Sedgwick on 22 March 1785, one of
the founders of modern geology and a blue plaque marks the
place. Maggie also mentioned Dent’s connection with the
quarrying of marble.
Ribblehead viaduct was built by a workforce of 6,000 navvies
between 1869 and 1876. They lived in shanty towns but many died
during its construction. A plaque commemorates the men who died
there, not the women, in a nearby churchyard.
An example of the peculiar Austwick ‘erratics, where large
pieces of very old rock lie, somewhat precariously, atop
limestone was shown.
Amongst many interesting images of the dales a particular
anecdote of Maggies stood out. She spoke of a location on the
road between Kettlewell and Starbotton. The exact location,
Maggie would give the OS grid reference if anyone emailed her,
was close by a road side bench. If one turned towards the
hillside and shouted an echo would be heard.
She told us that she would never have known of this curiosity,
and many more, if it was not for the advice given to her many
years ago by members of the Clarion Cycle Club. This was to seek
the quiet lanes and places and you will find places of special
Advice she took on board and advice she gave us too. And what an
interesting collection of stories and photographs she presented | <urn:uuid:1b325c56-2d1d-4eb2-be7c-a4f71ce14a7b> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://chorleyhistorysociety.co.uk/nwsvws14/nwsvws1408.htm | 2017-05-30T01:32:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463613738.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20170530011338-20170530031338-00320.warc.gz | en | 0.969946 | 846 |

It’s never too late to make a change whether that be in your home life or work life. Changing careers at 50 could be one of the most rewarding things you do, and if the prospect of up to two more decades doing your current role fills you with dread, this could be the perfect time to take the leap. Here are a few things to consider to ensure a successful career change.
Career change ideas
Lots of things can trigger the desire for a career change. It could be as simple as hating your current job, wanting a slower pace of life or craving a challenge as you enter a new phase of your life.
Ready for a career change this summer? Apprenticeships aren’t just for the young but to older workers too https://t.co/FUfbzeeu6s— DWP (@DWP) 11 August 2016
The government actively supports training programmes for the over 50s and there are a range of short courses you can do and apprenticeships you can apply for, if you’d like to retrain. Depending on what you’d like to do next, you may not need to retrain at all and could use the skills and experience you already have. Here are some of the most popular jobs you could choose for your second career.
Becoming a consultant can be a great way to use the knowledge you’ve gained throughout your career in a different way to help others. It’s also flexible so you can tailor the hours to your lifestyle and cherry pick the clients you work with.
An entrepreneur may sound like a scary job title, but if you have a burning business idea, or two, and the skills to get it off the ground, what could be better than being your own boss and building a business from scratch?
In most parts of the world there’s a shortage of teachers and the UK’s no exception. Not only will you find it easy to find work once you’ve trained, you’ll have the job satisfaction that comes with giving something back and helping the next generation prepare for the world of work.
Registered nurse or carer
If you love helping people and are prepared to retrain, nursing is one of the most rewarding careers a person can have. You’ll get to look after people in their hour of need and can work flexibly.
While the internet and modern technology might be daunting to some, it’s very much the future and one of the key areas for job growth in the UK. Once you’ve learned how to code you can pick and choose your projects, either working in-house for a company that aligns to your values or freelance on a project by project basis.
Career change advice
Once you’ve made the decision to change career at 50, where do you start? The key is not to do it alone and there’s lots of places you can seek help and advice. Beyond friends, family and colleagues, it could be worth speaking to a recruiter. While they may initially try to offer you similar roles to the one you’re in now, after a little explanation they can be a good sounding board to help you figure out what your next move could be based on your experience and desires.
A career coach or mentor may be able to provide more valuable insight, while getting out of your comfort zone and attending networking events could throw up an unexpected idea or opportunity. The government’s National Careers Service is a helpful resource which, among other things, offers a free Skills Health Check. This set of quizzes is specially designed to help you explore your skills, interests and motivations and can give you a clearer idea of what kind of jobs might be right for you.
Career change at 50 tips
Changing your career is never easy and it only gets more daunting the longer you wait. Here are four tips to help you transition into your new career.
Create a good CV and tailor it to the jobs you’re applying for
The job market is forever changing and the way people hire for roles has evolved too. Artificial intelligence is creeping its way into recruitment and if the company you’re applying to is particularly tech-savvy they may use machine learning algorithms to check your application. That means your CV needs to be on point, referencing the role as much as possible and reflecting the language used.
While your application may not always be pre-screened by a robot, it’s good practice to get into the habit of spelling out exactly why you’re perfect for the role rather than talking generally about your experience and how the skills could be transferable. You should always edit your CV to match each job, pulling out the key things the company is looking for and highlighting your most relevant experience. The National Careers Service has some useful tips.
Discuss the benefits in your interview
These days, most full-time roles come with lots of added benefits like private health care, workplace pensions and discounts. Don’t be afraid to ask what the benefits are in your interview and find out more information about the company’s stance on issues like flexible working and pay equality.
As you get closer to retirement, topping up your pension will become increasingly important so a key benefit to discuss is your workplace pension. From April 2018 all employers have to make a minimum contribution of 2% of your annual salary through Auto-Enrolment, rising to 3% in 2019. Some employers may be prepared to pay more than the legal requirement so it’s worth investigating further.
Find and combine your old pensions, so you don’t lose track
The more jobs you’ve had in your career, the more pensions you’ll have to manage. Changing jobs is a great reminder to think about all of your old workplace pensions and how they’re performing. If there are any you’ve lost track of, you can use the government’s Pension Tracing Service to help find them.
Once you know where all of your pensions are and how they’re performing, you might want to consider consolidating them into one simple plan. That way you’ll only have one pension to manage and will be able to easily track how your pot’s performing. When you’re in the early stages of your career this might not be so important, but as you approach retirement you’ll what to know exactly how much money you have saved.
Whether it’s throughout the interview process or in the first few months of your new job, it’s important to remain positive. Making a career change at 50 is a brave decision and you should embrace all of the excitement and adventures that come along with it. That’s not to say it isn’t going to be tough, but believing in yourself and remembering why you’ve made the decision to change careers should pull you through. Always remember the value of the decades worth of work and life experience you have, and use it to your advantage. | <urn:uuid:c326f779-d44f-40bf-b861-38211607749f> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.pensionbee.com/blog/2018/june/how-to-change-career-at-50 | 2021-05-16T18:33:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243991178.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20210516171301-20210516201301-00253.warc.gz | en | 0.946888 | 1,453 |
Rode 50.2 miles and burned 2890 calories.
Left the motel at 8:40 and arrived at 2:18.
First, I would like to report that I had a very pleasant visit with my second cousin, Larry Olafson, last evening in Petaluma. Larry grew up and spent most of his life in North Dakota, moving to Petaluma about 5 years ago. We had not had contact since we were just kids until a couple of years ago, when we reconnected at the Olafson family reunion in North Dakota.
At any rate, on to todays ride. It was really a very pleasant day all around. Ron and I decided to ride with Tom Wellman, Paul Trent, and Bill Zeeb, which worked out very well. We headed out of Petaluma on typical California brown hill terrain, including Nicasion Valley Road and Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Along the way, we found some of the crew stopped at a little spot with cheese, having coffee and smoothies. The waterfowl were also in the pond enjoying a break.
As we continued on our journey, the road was not always the flat, easy ride I had hoped for on the day before the break. You can see Tom coming up the hill, with Paul and Bill trailing. Some of the road also went through a small stand of redwoods.
We eventually made our way to the day's only SAG at 29 miles along. The route sheet had been fairly straightforward to this point, with a handful of turns to manage. From the SAG onward, we often had several instructions per mile, and you had to stay on top of it. I think it was in Mill Valley where we went up a street called Chapman Avenue, which was a narrow, winding climb through nice residential homes. Rounding a turn, we were surprised to see a couple of deer along the road. They didn't seem very alarmed, and I took the shot below. It is a little dark, but you can see we were quite close.
We eventually arrived in Sausalito, where we had a lovely lunch break. The guys thought we sat next to authentic natives. The girl was tattooed the extent of both arms. Leaving lunch, we made our way up and over the Golden Gate Bridge. Even though it was Friday, there was plenty of foot and bicycle traffic, and we could only go very slowly. When we got a ways up the waterfront, Ron was kind enough to take this shot of me with the bridge in the background. You had to expect this shot today.
We found our way to the motel on Lombard Street. Some of the group went the other way on Lombard to ride the crookedest street in the country, but for me, that is a maybe tomorrow. We finished the day with a nice dinner at Lori's Diner in Ghiradelli Square. Tomorrow is our second and final rest day, so I will be doing laundry and cleaning up the bike before my brother comes to visit in the afternoon. If anything noteworthy happens, I will post, otherwise I will wait until we hit Santa Cruz. | <urn:uuid:237a6188-140f-4271-a57f-9eafdc4edbea> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://ridewithrick.blogspot.com/2008/09/day-13-petaluma-to-san-francisco.html | 2018-12-11T13:44:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376823621.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20181211125831-20181211151331-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.98874 | 641 |
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - J.R. Smith scored 21 points, Carmelo Anthony added 19 points and nine rebounds and the New York Knicks moved within one game of the final playoff spot by beating the undermanned Golden State Warriors 89-84 on Sunday night.
The Knicks outscored Golden State 34-12 in the second quarter to go ahead 56-44 at the half, and then held off a furious rally by Stephen Curry and the Warriors in the closing minutes.
Curry scored 32 points, including a tying 3-pointer with 2:42 remaining. But he missed from long range in the final minute and also had a pass stolen by Raymond Felton on Golden State's final possession.
New York (31-43) is a game behind fast-fading Atlanta, which has lost six straight, for the final playoff seed in the weak Eastern Conference. | <urn:uuid:e59219d0-f249-4a96-bb13-e7c68e2a8075> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.kolotv.com/sports/headlines/Knicks-Beat-Warriors-89-84-Eye-Final-Playoff-Spot-253142811.html | 2018-05-26T10:10:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867416.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526092847-20180526112847-00233.warc.gz | en | 0.951459 | 182 |

MDes Digital Culture / Information Design
- // Initial Education
- // Program taught in English
- // Nantes (France)
A postgraduate program in two years specialized in Information Design, a single master’s degree in design
The Information Design program explores the emerging challenges presented by the exponential production of data, from graphic representation to the conceptualization of innovative services based on data, information and knowledge. It uses principles resulting from studies carried out in visual identity, and more particularly in graphic semiotics, signage and cartographic representations of information.
- Representation of the information
- Knowledge engineering
- Creation of innovative services
> Represent information, design services
The evolution in the quantity and diversity of information available, especially since the advent of Web 2.0, implies the necessity for methods and tools to facilitate further evolution in the information technology environment.
The goal of information design is to study graphic representations, statistics and dynamics in order to better comprehend often imperceptible and complex phenomena. It uses principles resulting from studies carried out in visual identity, and more particularly in graphic semiotics, signage and cartographic representations of information.
Evolution in digital technologies makes it possible to integrate information design with raw data shaped by means of interactive applications and adapted for use in a wide range of contexts.
> Data driven services
Network users, who are becoming far more numerous and active, expect easily assimilated information and a clear, simple and rapidly accessible outline of services provided.
International initiatives with respect to open data, increase the need for enhanced information design skills. Its use by companies and institutions favors an ascending innovation process with respect to design of services: by allowing for example a better organization of life in the city through real time visualization of energy consumption or by facilitating access to and use of public transport, or even by optimizing the activity of production zones through graphic representation of the circulation of raw materials and industrial products.

In the aftermath of Sunday's riots, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva promises to bring rioters to justice. This morning, he met with Rosa Weber, president of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil, and other leaders to work "in defense of democracy."
"The powers of the republic, defenders of democracy and the 1988 constitutional charter reject the acts of terrorism, vandalism, criminals and coup plotters that took place yesterday afternoon in Brasilia," Lula said. "We are united, so institutional measures are taken under the terms of Brazilian laws."
What do these protests by supporters of Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s far-right former president, represent for democracy in Brazil? What should Lula's next steps be? What are the similarities to the events at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021? University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy experts are available to comment.
Melvyn Levitsky is a professor of international policy and practice at the Ford School and a former U.S. ambassador to Brazil.
"As we have experienced here in the United States, violence can occur after a vigorously contested election," he said. "Brazil's democratic institutions are well established and strong. Virtually every national leader in the world has condemned the attempt to attack Brazil's democratic institutions.
"I believe a next useful step would be to bring the situation to an emergency meeting of the Organization of American States to show the hemisphere's support for Brazil's democracy. I am confident democracy will prevail in Brazil, but as always, 'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.'"
Javed Ali, associate professor of practice at the Ford School, is a former senior U.S. government counterterrorism official.
"The storming of the Brazilian capital by aggrieved supporters of former President Bolsonaro harken back to similar events in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In both cases, it appears law enforcement did not have sufficient warning or intelligence in advance to prevent the insurrections, but news reports from Brazil indicate that authorities have already arrested hundreds of people.
"Unlike what occurred in the United States, Bolsonaro did not appear to incite or provoke his supporters in advance. Hopefully, he can issue a statement that attempts to calm the situation and instruct people to leave the premises before further violence ensues." | <urn:uuid:91f0a559-db13-45d1-9aec-75c928b8e01c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fordschool.umich.edu/news/2023/brazil-riots-ford-school-experts-offer-insight | 2023-09-21T19:02:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506029.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20230921174008-20230921204008-00053.warc.gz | en | 0.959911 | 489 |
It’s a Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. and my neighbour and I are going for our morning stroll downtown.
Going past the Discovery Plaza north, I spot a person struggling to get to the sidewalk nearby.
As my companion and I cross the street, a truck approaches the intersection.
We are right in front of this black truck, so I put my hand up as I want to ask him about the person trying to roll closer to the sidewalk.
His window is open and I asked him if he could help us with this person.
He replied, “I’ll just have to turn around.”
So I assumed he would be joining us shortly.
About five minutes passed and there was no sign of a black truck. So I quickly rushed to this man struggling to get to the sidewalk and off the road.
In the meantime, I’m trying to reassure the man that help is on the way. Just then, a woman comes out of her house, asking about the commotion.
She sized the situation very quickly and gets behind the man from the side and lifts him up. I assisted a little on my side.
This woman knows exactly where and how to assist him to his feet.
Out of the blue, this car has parked in front of us and it’s the manager from Schubert Centre, opening the doors for this person.
He is reluctant about getting inside the vehicle, I assured him that this driver would take him home.
The man’s remark was, “I’ve been married some 60 years and I’ve learned this: never argue with a woman.”
With his body neatly tucked inside the vehicle, I shut the door and Jack Gareb drives away.
He returns to find us still walking and told us that the man lived about a mile away and uphill.
We thanked him for being a Good Samaritan. As for the truck driver, you could have been our hero, but you disappointed us, so kudos go to Jack.
Thanks from two walking buddies.

Java application opens secure access to sensitive court data
Providing law offices and citizens with specific data on court schedules and other judicial information without compromising security was the challenge Robert McDonald faced architecting Court Services Online.
As director, application management services for the attorney general’s office in British Columbia, he needed to link relatively new J2EE-based applications with both legacy systems and Microsoft .NET systems. Because court scheduling is highly dynamic with events such as dates for proceedings frequently changing, all the information needed to be delivered to law offices, citizens and news media in real time, McDonald says.
"Just to put it in context we have an integrated civil and criminal justice system," he explains. "It’s one of the largest in North America. (covering the entire province of British Columbia). We’ve started to build public interfaces so citizens can get access to the public information like future appearance dates or civil litigation material."
Because of the dynamism of the system with judges making changes to schedules, McDonald says an offline database wasn’t workable "because information can change on a moments notice."
So Online Court Services needed to provide a Web-based application for individuals to retrieve only the information that pertained to them while protecting all the sensitive data from unauthorized access.
McDonald said the Java programmers in his shop had little trouble linking the civil and criminal computer systems based on Oracle’s implementation of J2EE with older legacy systems, as well as a Microsoft .NET system used by a separate judicial branch. Security was the major challenge and he tackled it with the latest technology, including Layer 7’s SecureSpan, which provides a network pluggable appliance for central administration of security policies. McDonald carefully developed those policies to assure that confidential information didn’t slip through the gateways.
"There’s a number of different security aspects that we’ve applied here," he says, reviewing the Web services architecture. "Number one from a services side we’ve specifically configured certain services that actually provide information. So for instance, if a law office wants to get their client’s future appearance dates, that’s not public information. It’s private information between a client, the court and the lawyer that’s specifically handling that case, so when a lawyer signs in and gets access to that, the service that we customized in the application only provides that information."
Beyond firewalls and gateway security appliances, the key to security is that services only return highly specific information based on the user’s ID, McDonald explains.
"From the Web services perspective, we apply policy where we actually say that only certain individuals can do certain things," the chief architect says. "It has to be a lawyer or a citizen with an ID. They can’t just come through there with a generic ID."
Using XML technology such as schema validation, the system prevents a hacker from getting through with a bogus XML message.
So far the careful application of security has helped Court Service Online manage to not be a victim of its own success.
This past summer, McDonald launched the system on a trial basis with selected law offices and media outlets, but when the application was opened to all lawyers, media and citizens with court business, usage exploded.
"We’ve kind of exceeded our expectations from the number of citizens and lawyers in the province that are actually using Court Services Online," he says. "We thought maybe in six months there’d be mass usage. But we’re actually seeing significant uptake right off the bat."

The Vanquest MOHL System is an Expert Solution to a Tactical Problem
The expert team at Vanquest has done it again. They’ve given us a lightweight way to attach existing MOLLE gear and other items to a hook and loop surface that doesn’t require any new purchases. We put it in the hands of our gear tester to see how it works in the wild.
Tactical nylon companies have recently been expanding their selection of packs and bags that carry internal hook and loop panels for attaching pockets and pouches for organization. Some will offer items that scrap traditional admin pockets for hook and loop.
An Economical Solution to a Tactical Problem
The advantage to this is that the end user can completely configure the bag or pack to meet mission requirements down to the finest detail. The disadvantage is that the end user needs a separate set of hook and loop backed pouches to effectively use the product since MOLLE pouches will be incompatible.
Quality nylon gear isn’t cheap and many users are not willing or can’t afford to purchase a new set of pouches to create an effective system around a new product.
Another option is to use a hook and loop adapter, which is where the Vanquest MOHL system comes in. The MOHL (MOLLE onto Hook and Loop) system is a lightweight set of panels that allows the end user to attach MOLLE pouches and other items to a hook and loop surface for a fraction of the cost of purchasing new pouches. (Continued below photos)
Two Options to Tackle Anything the Wild Can Throw at You
Vanquest offers two items in the MOHL system. The first is the MOHL-Air, which allows the user to attach a MOLLE pouch to hook and loop surfaces. The panel comes with six tabs that wrap around the MOLLE webbing on the back of the pouch and secure it to the panel. The user can then attach the pouch to a hook and loop.
Users can also weave pouches with MOLLE straps through the panel. The MOHL-Air panel worked well in securing the FAT-Pack 7×10 pack to the back of the Falconer-27 pack. The hook and loop on the MOHL-Air is quite tacky and the pouch easily stayed put on the pack.
The second panel in the system is the MOHL-Web. This is a panel with a web of shock cord woven through. This panel is particularly useful for keeping bulky items such as water bottles or hard cases from moving around inside a pack.
The panel we received was part of a first-run batch and only allowed attachment of a four-inch diameter water bottle. Vanquest reported that the panels on the market now have six inches more of shock cord and can accommodate larger items.
The MOHL system of panels offers a big advantage in modern pack organization. They’re quite useful for a variety of loadouts and offer a significant cost benefit over purchasing a new set of pouches to accommodate new bags with hook and loop panels inside. For the cost of a new hook and loop pouch, a user could purchase two or three MOHL panels and customize a bag or pack to fit their needs. | <urn:uuid:78aed9bc-261b-4924-b700-0f84c6138cc1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://shadowfoxhq.com/the-vanquest-mohl-system-is-an-expert-solution-to-a-tactical-problem/ | 2019-07-21T21:10:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527204.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721205413-20190721231413-00255.warc.gz | en | 0.929959 | 668 |
‘Maze’ review: more like the ‘Great Escape’ than we had any right to expect
The 1983 prison break gets a responsible treatment but it's most effective as a prison break yarn
The core relationship is that between Larry Marley (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor), a thoughtful republican prisoner, and Gordon Close (Barry Ward), a stressed guard
Film Title: Maze
Director: Stephen Burke
Starring: Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Barry Ward, Martin McCann, Eileen Walsh, Aaron Monaghan, Niamh McGrady
Running Time: 93 min
It hardly needs to be said that a few unionist politicians have, before seeing the film, already denounced Stephen Burke’s Maze as an insult to this and a misrepresentation of that. There are certainly dangers here. It is sometimes forgotten that a prison officer, stabbed during the Maze prison escape of 1983, subsequently died of a heart attack. It was not just the brave lark of song and fable.
Working from his own tight script, Burke has taken a responsible approach to the material. The core relationship is that between Larry Marley (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor), a thoughtful republican prisoner, and Gordon Close (Barry Ward), a stressed guard.
Marley is gaming Close to gain access to passwords and security loopholes, but, as the film progresses, he guiltily develops a respect for him. We see Gordon defending his family from a terrorist attack on an everyday shopping expedition. He ends up living in a sort of suburban cage. The subsequent violence from the screws is thus reasonably contextualised.
The picture is also sound on the legacy of the hunger strikes. Marley – a genuine figure murdered by the UVF in 1987 – conceives the mass escape as a way of demonstrating that the movement remains unbowed. Meanwhile, he worries about his own son following in his footsteps. Nobody who knows anything about this sorry history would deny that it swells with such personal contradictions.
Here’s the surprise. Although the film-makers have dealt responsibility with the legacy, Maze is at its best when most like John Sturges’s The Great Escape. And it’s more like that film than we had any right to expect.
The reliable Martin McCann – a charmer with flint in his soul – will have particular reason for savouring the Richard Attenborough role. The late British actor and director pushed McCann to the next level when he cast him opposite Shirley MacLaine in Closing the Ring, and McCann repays the debt with a focused turn as the prisoners’ commanding officer. He gets to repeat a key scene from the Sturges film: he is forced to prohibit another escape attempt as he prioritises the mass breakout. Although Close is a braver, more principled man than Werner “the Ferret”, his interactions with Larry suggest those between James Garner and the compliant German guard. The sheer scale of the escape kicks up unavoidable memories of the breakout from Stalag Luft III. (Can there have been a single prisoner unfamiliar with The Great Escape? I doubt it.)
The tension is built up impressively. Vaughan-Lawlor combines raw commitment with a sneaky flexibility to give us an honest man who lies like a master. Ward works hard at allowing only hints of vulnerability to leak through his buffed Ulster carapace. Stephen Rennicks’s sinuous score Krautrocks us back to the early 1980s. Dave Grennan, a hugely experienced camera operator, brings damp menace to every shot of a depressed nation.
Not all the logistics are explained so effectively as we might like. One crucial aspect of the breakout seems to happen as if by magic. Students of the incident may also be disappointed to discover so little about the famously chaotic aftermath. Stories of escapees wandering about the fields and wading through the rivers are still told in the pubs of Ulster. There is much material for dark comedy and wild adventure there.
Still, it would be wrong to criticise the talent for making the film they wanted to make. Burke has chosen to shoot an escape movie and, though a little deadened by its sombre environment, Maze works well on those terms.
The least likely bits are all true. That counts as some sort of recommendation. | <urn:uuid:2fcaca11-d4d4-407a-a17c-16f3c155cd58> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/maze-review-more-like-the-great-escape-than-we-had-any-right-to-expect-1.3226519 | 2020-08-09T21:13:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738573.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809192123-20200809222123-00359.warc.gz | en | 0.960113 | 879 |
A couple of years ago, I started a YouTube channel--also titled Dragons, Zombies & Aliens--that is now starting to get some traction. To the point where I've started doing weekly videos every Sunday.
The unfortunate fact is I cannot keep up with both a weekly YouTube channel and blog. So I am officially moving my weekly rants, reviews, and lists to YouTube.
This website will still be kept up-to-date, the newsletter will still be set out, and I'll still likely use this blog platform to make announcements as needed. I just won't post anymore blog posts.
Check out my YouTube channel here.
If you want to know what I'm filming ahead of time, as well as early access to the videos, join the community on Patreon!
The first Dragons, Zombies and Aliens blog was started in 2015. Somewhere between college coursework, paying rent with door-to-door sales, and keeping up with my sorority sisters, I wrote reviews, rants and commentaries on books, TV shows, and movies. Now, this blog has moved, improved, and the sky's the limit! | <urn:uuid:93849607-3d88-41f2-9310-e152c6523145> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://www.dzamarie.com/blog/moving-to-youtube | 2020-10-23T00:06:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880401.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20201022225046-20201023015046-00488.warc.gz | en | 0.959663 | 232 |

FIRST, THE CONSULAR PORTION OF THE EMBASSY OF VIETNAM STRONGLY RECOMMENDS YOU TO POSSESS VISA BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE FOR VIETNAM. After receiving the obtain a Vietnamese charge, we're going to organize a pre-approval letter with a Customer Code so you can grab the Vietnamese visa on arrival at an international airport in Vietnam. AA Kathie claims, really alright to arrive several days afterwards as long as you leve the nation ahead of the visa expires.
You have to pay in Vietnam at airport when you choose the visa: 25 US$ for a 1 month or a couple of months single entry visa and 50 US$ for a-1 month or a few months multiple entryway charge. Should you appear by air at Phnompenh International airport or Siem Reap International airport, it's so simple and easy take you short while to have visa completed.

The Australian federal government is familiar with reports of individuals' personal information becoming made public following on-line software or application via a vacation representative for a 'visa on appearance' approval letter.
This brand new information ended up being supplied to me from the Customs and Immigration officials in Vietnam at Ho Chi Minh Airport (SGN). This visa is issued at Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Cam Ranh air-ports. Actually, we met a lot of people which eliminated Vietnam entirely entirely since they believed acquiring visa was actually too tough.

Logitech MX 610 Left-Hand Laser Cordless MouseFormer staff writer - April 25, 2007
The mouse movement settings allow you to select how many lines you would like to scroll you can also set your pointer speeds, trails, and acceleration.
Believe it or not there are even game settings, if you choose to use the MX610 for gaming if can detect that you are gaming and use your pre-determined options.
Email and IM Notifications:
This next feature I do appreciate, the mouse comes with an email and instant messenger button. These will open your favorite email and IM program. I check my email frequently, so this is a plus for me, I hate having to minimize everything just to get to my email icon and with as many keys and options that I have on my keyboard I could never remember where the key is to launch it from there.
Since the mouse is cordless it does need batteries, so as part of the configuration, a battery life tab is included so you can keep an eye on usage. | <urn:uuid:1cd53d4b-1164-49b5-a699-84142bd79438> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/logitech_left/5.htm | 2015-05-26T05:51:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207928780.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113208-00286-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950445 | 211 |
Riding uptown on the bus other day, we stopped at a light right next to the United Nations building on First Avenue and 46th Street.
Typical scene just outside the building gates—hundreds of tourists, in small groups and large, talking, taking pictures, coming in and out of the grounds and the building or just generally milling around; UN security guards and few New York City cops standing at the entrance. And, as usual, an endless flow of traffic headed up First Avenue—private cars, cabs, buses, trucks…
I remember going into the UN—several decades ago. I think it was a class trip I took when I was in high school, back in the day when I was relatively free from cynicism; back when it seemed like the United Nations was a place where the world could really talk peacefully instead of instantly resorting to mindless violence.
Well, the UN’s record for resolving conflicts and preventing wars—despite all the genuine efforts made over the decades—has been mostly a dismal failure. Still, there it stands, towering over the East River—an open invitation to the world to show up and do the right thing.
…As a more or less constant reminder (as if we needed one) that the world is far from anything approaching a state of peace, there are frequent, mostly angry, demonstrations across the avenue. The demonstrators, from a handful of people to an entire city block’s worth, are often carrying banners, waving flags or holding signs—chanting, singing, trying whatever they could to get their message across to assembled diplomats just a couple of hundred yards away.
I didn’t see any demonstrations this day but I did see (and just barely hear) a lone man with a large megaphone standing there shouting across the wide river of traffic at the UN.
I couldn’t tell for sure because the megaphone covered most of his face, but he might have been Asian.
There he was shouting his passionate message while hundreds of people—a lot of them probably on their lunch hour—streamed past, completely ignoring him. And, of course, the crowds across the street in front the UN couldn’t hear him at all.
The poor sap might have been standing in the middle of The Gobi desert or at the North Pole for all the notice he was liable to get. At the moment I was probably the only one in that whole mass of humanity paying the slightest bit of attention to him.
I wondered what language he was speaking; and if anybody during the course of the day noticed him at all, would they even understand what he was saying?
Maybe he didn’t care; because, of course, he had to be more than a little crazy to stand there by himself screaming at the UN, right? What’s the word, monomaniacal?
Or was he heroic? Who knows what government he was criticizing or which vicious dictator he was denouncing? Maybe he was placing himself in danger by saying whatever it was he was saying.
Was he talking about a vital issue that affects millions of people, or was it just a personal complaint about his own poor lot in life?
Did he really expect anything at all to happen, to change, because he was preaching his heart out on First Avenue or did it just feel good to get it off his chest?
I remembered an old saying from my father’s generation, passed down to mine, “You can’t fight city hall.” That old maxim went along with, “Pay the two dollars,” referring to a parking ticket. (gives you a pretty good idea about inflation over the decades).
I grew up (The Fifties) in an era of extreme patriotism and obedience to authority, but I was also taught (by my City College-educated father) that you can and should fight city hall, and that you shouldn’t just let the bastards get away with giving you a ticket just because they feel like it.
This guy, the megaphone man… maybe he was an immigrant who heard that America was a place where everybody had the God given right to speak up to the rich and powerful. This guy had to be the most extreme example of not paying the two dollars and fighting city hall tooth and nail.
He was completely isolated, one single human out of billions, trying to make his voice heard, and at the same time, a perfect representative of 99.99 percent of those billions, trying to hold the big boys to account for their perpetual assaults on freedom and basic human decency.
…The light changed and the bus headed up First Avenue, leaving the great matters of the world behind and also the megaphone man, the noon-time Don Quixote, shouting his message to the uncaring crowd.
I thought about him all the way uptown. Was he one of God’s holy fools, or just another random crack-pot pain-in-the-ass?
Whatever he was, I admired his persistence.
I’d been in demonstrations before—usually part of some march or group of protesters, but this, standing alone, flying solo into the storm, this takes guts. Maybe I should try it one day; get myself a big megaphone and stand across from the UN, shouting as long as my voice would last about all my political, cultural and personal grievances. Of course it wouldn’t make a damn bit of difference, but I bet it would feel pretty while I was doing it. | <urn:uuid:4d0eb092-f07d-451c-a821-5bbbfaa47d68> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://federfiles.com/2017/05/08/megaphone-man/ | 2018-06-23T23:50:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865438.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623225824-20180624005824-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.981022 | 1,150 |
What should doctors know before joining a startup? I don’t know if these were questions medical school graduates in the Bay Area asked themselves as they opted to join a startup rather than completing their medical training in residency programs. These new doctors felt they could make a bigger impact on patient care by leaving the system and its current status quo.
Why not? In the Bay Area, small startups and former startups like Facebook, Google, and Apple are literally blocks away from academic medical centers. Everyone knows someone working at a startup. At a healthcare innovation summit, Vinod Khosla, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and venture capitalist reassured technology entrepreneurs that the opportunities to disrupt healthcare were tremendous. After all,
Khosla encouraged attendees to develop technology that would stop doctors from practicing like “voodoo doctors” and be more like scientists. Disruption required having an outsider point of view. Khosla highlighted how CEO Jack Dorsey of Square was able to disrupt and provide services more cheaply than the traditional methods of the electronic payment system accepting Visa and Mastercard because only 2 percent of the employees at Square ever worked in the industry.
Former Executive Editor of WIRED Thomas Goetz interviewing venture capitalist Vinod Khosla
There is the lingering perception that technology can make health care cheaper, more accessible, and better without physician insights. Yet there have been few public successes so far. In an interview with Malcolm Gladwell, venture capitalist Bill Gurley seemed resigned to the fact that finding such a startup to fix healthcare will not happen.
Yet, I believe there are opportunities for startups to help. For healthcare to be disrupted, doctors and Silicon Valley need to collaborate. Each group brings valid and important points of view that the other cannot fully understand simply because you don’t know what you don’t know. For doctors joining a startup, add tremendous value by understanding the challenges the healthcare system faces as well as the challenges and mindset of a startup. Here are five recommended books to get you started.
What is Disruption? The Innovator’s Prescription
You hear how startups will disrupt the status quo. Who came up with this? Harvard Business School Professor Clay Christensen has often been credited with the concept of a disruptive innovation. A disruptive innovation is a product or service that not very good initially. It serves a market or need that is currently ignored by incumbents. Over time the disruptive innovation gets so much better that it serves larger markets or needs that it overtakes the incumbent companies. At this point it is too late for the incumbents to respond. An example of such an disruptive innovation might be Apple’s iPhone where much of the initial functionality has now become so robust that incumbents creating digital camera, GPS, camcorders, or laptop computers are in trouble.
Christensen’s book, The Innovator’s Prescription: A Disruptive Solution for Health Care, is the best book on how disruption in health care might occur. By looking at other industries where initially products and services offered were “so complicated and expensive that only people with a lot of money can afford them, and only people with a lot of expertise can provide or use them” and how over time everyone now had access to telephones, computers, and airline travel, the book provides a framework on how that will happen in health care.
Anyone wanting to succeed in the new world of health care as predicted by this comprehensive and thoughtful analysis would be wise to add this book to their list of must reads.
Zero To One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
The Hard Things About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers
Written by entrepreneurs, Peter Thiel and Ben Horowitz respectively, these books provide an insider’s perspective on both the promise and perils of being in a startup. Venture capitalist Peter Thiel was the co-founder and CEO of PayPal and founder of Planitir. Thiel believes technology can solve our problems and the importance of using the strengths of technology and people to make an impact.Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future notes there is only one moment in time when something is invented and you go from zero to one. The creation of Google was such a moment.
If Thiel’s book captures the optimism of a better future, Horowitz’s book details the gritty realities of a startup CEO in The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers. Venture capitalist Horowitz was CEO of Opsware. He pivoted the business multiple times when things looked bleak, found capital during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression when everyone thought he was insane, and led the company through multiple layoffs before successfully being sold. A sobering yet incredibly important read, Horowitz shatters the allure, mystic, and promise of startups and replaces it with the stark frankness that the world is competitive and startups are fragile and the path to success difficult.
Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer
Understanding the current healthcare status quo is important if one is to understand the variation in medical care and outcomes. Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer is the best book to quickly get you up to speed on why we are the most expensive in the world and the worst at keeping us healthy. Balanced and thoroughly researched, this book illustrates how the failings of our healthcare system are more complex than simply claiming that insurers are greedy and malpractice insurance premiums are too expensive. Learn what you are up against if you plan on disrupting healthcare.
Teaming: How Organizations Learn, Innovate and Compete in the Knowledge Economy
Doctors don’t work well in teams. This was outlined by New Yorker writer, best-selling author, and surgeon Dr. Atul Gawande in Cowboys and Pit Crews. Yet it is teamwork across disciplines that matter in a startup. Here is where Harvard Business School Professor Amy Edmonson’s Teaming: How Organizations Learn, Innovate, and Compete in the Knowledge Economy is helpful. To maximize learning, conflict and failure are necessary for teaming to be successful. Successful teaming requires an environment where it is psychologically safe to speak up, which is not typically true in a hospital environment where a strict hierarchy still pervades. Edmonson highlights how individual and organizational psychology, the reality of hierarchical status, cultural differences, and distance can and do separate team members which can prevent successful teaming. Leaders can close these gaps by understanding the existence of these obstacles and by adapting their leadership style to support and facilitate teaming successfully. She gives plenty of examples where teaming went well and not so well (the “impossible” rescue of miners in Chile and space shuttle Columbia tragedy). Learning thoughtfully from these failures and framing them as essential for continuous improvement and innovation is key for organizations to benefit from teaming. So by understanding these dynamics, you can determine whether your startup has the dynamics it needs to be successful and how to lead one.
There you have it. Five books. Five perspectives. Good luck! I can’t wait to hear what you come up with!

Similarly, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may accept or refuse to yield to an adverse decision of the U.S. Treasury Court or another lower federal court. The IRS is not required to change its guidelines due to an adverse decision by a federal court other than the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the IRS Chief Advisor may determine that the IRS Commissioner must accept an adverse decision, thereby adopting the decision as IRS policy. The decision whether or not to accept an adverse decision is published by the Internal Revenue Service as a decision-making action. Conscience had been bribed by tolerance and injustice had flourished. She knew that Harry took his fatigue for tolerance, and she let him take it that way. Tolerance is not the same as laches, that is, not doing what the law requires to protect one`s rights, in circumstances that induce or disadvantage the accused. Tolerance refers to inaction during the performance of an act. In the example above, the fact that the competitor`s general counsel does not object to the use of the label and the registration of the label as a trademark with the Patent and Trademark Office constitutes a tolerance. Not to sue the company only after several years since the label was first used is a laugh. This may be aimed at intimidating and making it tolerant, but the effect has unfortunately been different.
Pete Cayce initially revolted at the pressure of his attention, subordination and tolerance. Judging by the deeds, American policy was otherwise tolerant. Tolerance occurs when a person who knows that he or she has the right to charge a business or enforce a right neglects that for a period of time that the other party can reasonably conclude in the circumstances of the case that he or she has waived or waived his or her right. Scott vs. Jackson, 89 Cal. 258, 26 Pac. 898; Lowndes vs. Wicks, 69 Conn. 15, 36 Atl. 1072; Norfolk & W.

ed. 420. Toleration and laches are related but not equivalent terms. The first is submission or satisfaction with an existing state of affairs, while the latter implies negligence of what the party should do for its own benefit or protection. Therefore, laughter can be a proof of tolerance. Laches imports purely passive consent, while tolerance implies active consent. Lux vs Haggin, 69 Cal. 255, 10 Pac. 678; Kenyon v. National Life Ass`n, 39 App. Div.

Tolerance and laughter are related but not equivalent terms. The first is submission or satisfaction with an existing state of affairs, while the latter implies negligence of what the party should do for its own benefit or protection. Therefore, laughter can be a proof of tolerance.
Laches imports purely passive consent, while tolerance implies active consent. In re Wilbur`s Estate, 334 Pa. 45, 5 A.2d 325, 331. « Tolerance » refers to inaction during the performance of an act, while « custom » refers to the delay after the act. Bay Newfoundland Co. v. Wilson & Co., 24 Del.Ch. 30, 4 A.2d 668, 671, 673.
« Tolerance » is synonymous with « abandonment »; Sclawr vs City of St. Paul, 132 minn. 238, 156 N.W. 283, 284, and is distinguished by « admission »; Saunders v. Busch-Everett Co., 138 La. 1049, 71 Sun. 153, 154; and « ratification » and « confiscation in Pais »; Marion Sa y. Bank v. Leahy, 200 Iowa 220, 204 N.W. 456, 458; but see Murray v. For example, a new brewing company is concerned that the proposed label for its beer will infringe on its competitor`s brand. It submits the label to the advocate general of its competitor, who does not oppose its use.
The new company submits an application to the Patent and Trademark Office for the registration of the label as a trademark and begins to use the label on the market. The competitor does not file an opposition with the Patent Office. A few years later, the competitor sued the new company for violating its brand and demanded the accounting of the new company`s profits for the years in which it used the label. A court will reject the accounting because the competitor tacitly authorized the use of the label by consent. However, the competitor could be entitled to an injunction excluding the merged entity from any further use of its trademark if it is so similar to the competitor`s label that it constitutes an infringement. Tolerance — /skwiyesans/ Conduct that acknowledges the existence of a transaction and intends, at least to some extent, to bring the transaction into effect or to permit it to be carried out. This is an act that is not intentionally intended to ratify a previous transaction. Black`s Law Dictionary The latin power`s approval of La Paz was particularly egregious.
Contracts. Implied consent given by one or both parties to any proposal, clause, condition, judgment or action. 2. If a party is obliged to choose between an overriding right and a testamentary disposition, his consent to a state of affairs which indicates an election, if he was aware of his rights, shall constitute prima facie evidence of such a choice. 3. Acts of tolerance, which constitute a tacit choice, must be decided by the circumstances of the case rather than by a general principle. 4. Tolerating the actions of an agent or representative who has assumed this character shall be tantamount to expressing his authority. Tolerance is different from consent. There is no effective oversight by Congress, as we can see with the consent of the Intelligence and Justice Committees. This is the definition of ACQUIESCENCE in Black`s Law Dictionary – Courtesy of Cekhukum.com.
It must be distinguished from declared consent, on the one hand, and dissatisfaction or open opposition, on the other.

No cartoon? No problem
MANY COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS I’ve seen (and I’ve seen hundreds!) struggle to find a visual element to place on the opinion page.
As result, they’ll often place an editorial cartoon on the page that really has little interest for—or impact on—readers. They are there to be…well…there.
Those cartoons may be national or statewide in scope. Some may actually apply to what is going on in the community. But far too many don’t.
Some publishers commission local artists to do a cartoon that may occasionally accompany an editorial or opinion column.
That costs. If you’re OK with that expense, more power to ya. But, if you want a visual element on the page that won’t cost you a cent (except in staff time), here are three ideas for you to consider.
1) THE “BACK THEN” PHOTO. When I show publishers this idea, they usually like it—a lot. These photos are often readily available, either in your own archives or from a local historical society. Just give your historical society a credit and they’ll usually bend over backwards to find some good “old-timey” pix for you.
I like to see them at the top of your “Back Then” piece, the one where you write up a few items that were published in your paper 100 years ago, 50 years ago, 25 years ago and 10 years ago.
My experience is that readers like these photos a lot. And there’s no extra expense involved.
2) THE STAND-ALONE PHOTO. I usually call these the “butterfly on a stump” photos. In this case, it’s a guy out for a Sunday morning sail. In the illustration, it’s a color photo…but it doesn’t have to be. Some of the greatest scenic pictures ever taken are in black and white. If you don’t believe me, look up a guy named Ansel Adams.
These photos are usually scenics: A fall leaf on a gently flowing stream; geese flying north against a sunset; a pinto pony in a desert field. You get the idea.
The good thing about this kind of photo is that you don’t have to shoot it right now. It can wait. But ya gotta keep your eyes open: You just never know when a beautiful scenic shot is gonna jump out at you.
3) THE READER POLL: Now, this item takes a bit more work…but if you do it right you’re bound to generate some strong reader participation.
Some of the elements this requires:
a) A thought-provoking question, not just “Do you think it’s going to be a wet autumn this year?”
b) Offer at least five or six responses to the question. Readers can choose from among those…and/or leave a comment on your web site.
c) A poll chart. Color if possible but black and white will do. And make it a pie chart.
d) Space for reader comments. A good question is sure to stir the pot and some readers will be sure to respond with interesting comments.
So…you don’t have to continue to run a no-interest-here, static, boring editorial cartoon.
You have three choices here.
If you have other ideas…or another approach…let me know! | <urn:uuid:b70a1878-4e56-4608-b24d-98e72ab2440a> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://henningerconsulting.com/no-cartoon-no-problem/ | 2018-11-17T22:06:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743854.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117205946-20181117231946-00374.warc.gz | en | 0.895146 | 737 |

Garage Yoga is a traditional Ashtanga Yoga Mysore program in San Diego. We have brought back the “old school” small classroom which creates an environment where learning flourishes and mistakes are not over looked.
1. To join the Garage Yoga Ashtanga Mysore program you must apply by emailing Liza. Beginning and experienced practitioners are welcome.
2. Attendance is mandatory. The Garage Yoga Ashtanga Mysore program requires that all new and beginning students must commit to practicing a minimum of 2 days per week in the Garage shala.
* Visiting students referred by KPJAYI authorized and certified teachers are always welcome at Garage. To attend class refer to Rule#1.
**Ashtanga Yoga is a 6 day per week practice with the exception of Moondays, ladies holiday, or illness. At Garage Yoga we practice in accordance with this tradition.
3. Shower before you practice and arrive with an empty stomach. A clean body equals a clean mind. It’s best not to shower immediately after practice. Most people change and go to work.
4. Enter and exit like a ninja. Enter silently and DO NOT slam the gate. Close it with care. Always maintain quiet voices in the courtyard and the shala. No phone conversations inside the courtyard and shala.
5. Look to the tip of your nose, not your neighbors. Your drishti should always follow the tip of your nose depending on the shape of the asana. Envyasana and Beachasana are not approved poses.
6. If you use Garage equipment, please clean it and put it away after class.
7. If you break something—fix it. If you use the toilet—flush it. Please keep the studio and bathroom tidy, as if you were trying to impress a first date.
8. Have an open mind. The Garage Ashtanga Yoga Mysore program is for those who wish to experience yoga on a deeper level. Challenging yourself and exploring the unknown can be uncomfortable. Trust the process.
9. No drinking water during practice. According to David Life and Sharon Gannon, the founders of Jivamukti Yoga, those who drink water during practice are afraid of enlightenment. A valid argument against this statement can most likely be made, however, there is still no water drinking allowed during practice.
10. Practice way more than you talk about it. When questions come up about the practice, practice more. The answers lie in the execution.
11. Final rule: Don’t take your self too seriously. Do your best at abandoning your ego at the door. | <urn:uuid:79916d44-c84d-48d8-8143-8d4fff8fe2b7> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://garageyoga.com/rules-of-garage-yoga/ | 2019-10-22T14:34:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570987822098.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20191022132135-20191022155635-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.935628 | 550 |
With the legal sector generating more and more data, the ODI and Thomson Reuters are exploring which datasets should be open, and how to improve data sharing in the sector. Following a discovery workshop, Amanda Smith invites the community to pitch in ahead of a white paper on strengthening our legal data infrastructure
From court listings to case law, legislation to court transcripts, the criminal justice and legal sector generates vast amounts of data each day.
Taking a more open approach for the sector would help to address inequality, inefficiency and accountability. It would inform public policy, improve access to justice and contribute to public confidence in court proceedings. There are several steps the sector could take to adopt a more open approach. It could open up new data sources and improve data sharing for those in the sector in order to improve trust, create opportunities for collaboration and help people to understand the legal process from the outset. Finally, it could work to engage people in the ecosystem with more accessible data.
Adopting an open approach for the legal sector: key considerations
Transforming the ways in which organisations collect, manage and publish legal data will present certain challenges that must be made clear from the outset. An important point of reference here is the Data Spectrum, which can help us to categorise data, from ‘closed’ to ‘shared’ to ‘open’. Some data should be open, some shared between groups and some closed, depending on its type.
Any approach to making data open must balance transparency with privacy. Data that needs to be private should be kept private. Within the context of the legal sector, a strong focus must be placed on ensuring that vulnerable victims, witnesses and defendants are protected in sensitive cases. However, where data can be open – such as judgements (case law), court listings or court performance statistics – it should be open. Both privacy and openness build trust, and our openness principles for organisations handling personal data can guide organisations in getting the balance right.
Paving the way for a more open legal sector: discovery workshop
In September 2016, Thomson Reuters and the ODI gathered publishers of legal data, policy makers, law firms, researchers, startups and others working in the sector for a discovery workshop. Its aims were to explore important data types that exist within the sector, and map where they sit on the data spectrum, discuss how they flow between users and explore the opportunities that taking a more open approach could bring.
The notes from the workshop explore current mechanisms for collecting, managing and publishing data, benefits of wider access and barriers to use. There are certain questions that remain unanswered – for example, who owns the copyright for data collected in court. The notes are open for comments, and we invite the community to share their thoughts on these questions, the data types discussed, how to make them more open and what we might have missed.
Strengthening data infrastructure in the legal sector: next steps
Following this workshop we are working in partnership with Thomson Reuters to explore data infrastructure – datasets, technologies and processes and organisations that maintain them – in the legal sector, to inform a paper to be published later in the year. The paper will focus on case law, legislation and existing open data that could be better used by the sector.
The Ministry of Justice have also started their own data discovery project, which the ODI have been contributing to. You can keep up to date on their progress by following the MOJ Digital and Technology blog and we recommend reading their data principles.
We are looking to the legal and data communities to contribute opinion pieces and case studies to the paper on data infrastructure for the legal sector.

Apple Insider has spotted a a newly released patent filed by Apple back in late 2007 that shows volume controls that can be integrated into various Web browsers. Described as a way to control "audio signals which may or may not be welcomed by the user" the patent depicts a new panel that sits in the top, right-hand corner of a user's browser and allows per-site controls over incoming audio signals. There's also a mute button that can cut out just the sounds from the browser entirely while leaving sound from other desktop applications untouched.
According to the patent, the key goal is to add a volume control overlay over sites that do not provide it, as well as a system that will remember the user's preferences between browsing sessions. This would be useful in Flash-heavy sites where the controls may be hidden away, or entirely absent. It would also let users create custom sound profiles, so you could have YouTube videos on your computer at work always start out at a low volume level, or your Internet alarm clock site always play at 100 percent.
The patent also describes situations where users can create specific rules that will change how audio can be played back based on whatever other applications are running. So you could theoretically set it to mute all your browser audio only when you're listening to music in iTunes, or using an audio-centric application like Skype, then bring the sound back as soon as you're not getting audio output from those applications. Apple has done something similar on the iPhone by interrupting music when you're getting a phone call, or slightly lowering the volume on notification sounds when you're using other apps.
What makes this patent filing notable is that it's not just for Safari, and is listed as being applicable to multiple browsers, which means it could either be a part of an upcoming OS or as a standalone application. As the usual disclaimer goes though, patents are often filed for technologies that never make it to market.
Update: Several readers have pointed out that Windows Vista has had a similar feature since its release called Volume Mixer that lets you pick out the maximum volume level for each application. However it's worth noting that in Apple's proposed implementation, the user would be able to control it on a per-site basis.Apple Patent -- Web Browser Audio Controls | <urn:uuid:9ac0dfb0-aa8b-4cd7-8b95-d9f92ed5fd2d> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://www.cnet.com/uk/news/apple-patent-hints-at-volume-controls-in-safari/ | 2017-09-23T04:14:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689471.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20170923033313-20170923053313-00096.warc.gz | en | 0.960366 | 459 |
On 7th November 2011 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted the Universal Declaration on Archives, proposed by the International Congress of Archives. It is the culmination of intense efforts led by Papa Momar Diop, the Ambassador of Senegal at UNESCO and the former National Archivist of Senegal, supported by Jens Boel, Head Archivist at UNESCO, and activists in the ICA network throughout the world.Meg Travers Friday, November 25, 2011 - 14:04

These days more and more cats and dogs have starting itching, scratching and chewing at themselves, just like people pets can have environmental and food allergies. They can damage their skin, and keep you and themselves up all night scratching at their itchy skin. Treating allergies is something that takes time. A food change means sticking to the new food without any treats are mistakes for some time to ensure that it’s working. Medications that can be given may start to help the itch but will need to be kept up with. It can seem discouraging when you don’t see immediate help for your pet right away.
The long sleepless nights they are up itching and licking at themselves can be frustrating. It is important to find the reason for the itch (whether it’s environmental allergies, food allergies or even fleas). Pets can itch if they have fleas and or are allergic to fleas. Flea control can sometimes be all that is needed to control itching. Flea control such as Bravecto can be given year-round to ensure even on the warmer winter days they are not getting fleas.
If it is a food allergy and a food trial needs to be started, we will switch them to a different protein as it is often the protein that they are allergic too (e.g. Chicken or Beef). If it is an environmental allergy, it is hard to control their exposure to the allergens, and medications will need to be sued to keep itching at bay. Avoiding swimming and hiking in peak allergy seasons, as well as hypoallergenic bedding and gentle detergents in the home. If we are going outside, then we need to be sure to clean skin folds, ears, armpits and feet after a walk. Although allergies can be a long-term condition, there is hope with patience. Time and willingness to find relief can help our pets live an itch-free life!

chances of Dooin, This year there
was a sort of what's-the-use feeling.
The dopists figured that fat would
upset their calculations again, and
they left the Phils alone. BUt look at
'em now. Dooin is out in front, with
a team traveling at a dizzy olip. And
the aggregation is well balanced. It
is strong behind the bat, the pitching
staff is delivering, the infield has not
been broken by wounded players, and
Magee, Cravath and Paskert are
murdering the pill and pouching all
the flies that come their way.
Brooklyn has a- bunch of clouters
liable to bust a game at any minute,
and backs this slap-stick work up
with good pitching.
The Giants are playing last ball,
but have been outclassed by the Phils.
Boston is weak,
After Evers uses Cheney against
each of the- Eastern teams he will
be up against it for a pitcher who can
hold -down the score. It is a cinch
that the Cubs will not run up the
top-heavy tally total they did in their
engagements with the Western ag
gregations. They must have improv
ed pitching to , get an even break.
Lavender, Richie, Pierce Qr Hum
phries are liable to jump in and pitch
a good game. The .next time out the
same heaver is liable to be pounded
to a pulp. At present the- pitching
staff is absolutely a one-man affair.
Lavender certainly should come
around in a few days. Now is when

Otic Clymer and Mike Mitchell will
get back in regular harness on this
trip. They are badly needed in the!
outfield. Leach and ward Miller are
a'pair of able substitutes, but they
are not the equals of the daily work
men. Mitchell has just begun to hit
and toward the close of the Cubs'
home stand was whanging the ball
viciously. Clymer has- no wealthy
batting mark, hut he has been getting
on frequently, runs the bases intelli
gently and his hits, have come at
An even break is all that should be
expected from Evers. If ho does bet"
ter than that on this trip it will be
remarkable, for the feat will be
achieved without pitching.
Frank Chance is an optimistic guy.
Before heading his Yanks for Detroit
he said: "Yes, we have lost 15 games
and won two, but that is a lot better
than losing 17 straight."
Eddie Plank held the Yanks to two
hits, one a homer by Ed Sweeney,
)and the Macks continued their win
ning streak by pounding Fisher and
taking advantage of punk fielding.
Plank is the only one of Mack's vet
erans going right, but the veteran
left-hander is a whole team in him
self. Eddie Collins continued his slug

A dozen new vessels are entering service. Ten of them are Viking Longships destined for service on the Rhine, Maine and Danube rivers, and two are slightly smaller vessels for the Elbe. All were built at Neptun Werft shipyard in Rostock.
This will bring the Viking River fleet to 60 vessels strong, most of them operating in Europe, with several in Russia and Southeast Asia and one in China.
After breaking world records two years in a row for number of ships christened in a day, Viking River is to usher in the relatively 'modest' dozen vessels. For the first time in company history, chairman Torstein Hagen selected employees to serve as godmothers.
They include Donora Anderson, senior director, operations, Los Angeles office, who will do the honors for Viking Skirnir, and Clare Armitage, senior operations executive, UK office, for Viking Eir. Sinemie Bakker, program director, on-board operations, is the godmother of Viking Astrild; Henrieta Balisova, program director, on-board operations, for Viking Vili; Adriana Filkaszova, chief receptionist, on-board operations, for Viking Beyla, and Jana Hudakova, chief receptionist, on-board operations, for Viking Mimir.
The godmothers also include Miriam Kajuchova, housekeeper, on-board operations, for Viking Ve; Karoline Landa, controller and hotel manager, on-board operations, Viking Lofn; Kornelia Pfeiffenberger, hotel manager, on-board operations, for Viking Vidar; Faye Pirie, specialist cruise consultant, UK office, for Viking Modi; Julie Rosoff, senior director, marketing services, Los Angeles office, for Viking Mani, and Verona Thiele, concierge, on-board operations, for Viking Gefjon. | <urn:uuid:7afa4641-dae9-4b44-8583-7c705a44c888> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/news-headlines/viking-taps-notable-employees-godmothers-dozen-new-river-vessels | 2020-12-06T01:15:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141753148.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20201206002041-20201206032041-00119.warc.gz | en | 0.899262 | 400 |
Our LOV Children's Ministry group (ages 3 - 9) meets each Sunday immediately after Praise and Worship in the church house. Offering a full spectrum of learning to children with all different abilities, our teachers bring excitement to learning about Jesus! Classes are lead by Joan Allis, Barb Tomasik, Nin & Jean Bogue, and Ashley Boyer.
A message from Joan Allis- Children's Ministry Director
Why You Should Serve In Children’s Ministry?
- Children are important to God
I don’t know about you, but I want to serve in ways that matter most to God. There is no question about God’s attitude toward children. The Bible tells us that kids are a blessing from God. While Jesus was on earth, He made a point to welcome children and to affirm their value. He even talked about punishment for anyone who would abuse a child. Make no mistake, kids matter to God. If God’s priorities matter to you, then you should serve in Children’s Ministry.
- Serving in Children’s Ministry multiplies your efforts long-term
There are few ministry opportunities that allow you to impact the future in such a direct way. When you love and teach kids, you are also influencing generations to come. These children will one day become parents and church leaders themselves. If you want to change the world long-term, then you should serve in Children’s Ministry.
- Reaching children should be a top priority for the church
It’s been proven that most people who will come to Christ do so when they are young. The childhood years are the years of greatest opportunity to make a spiritual impact in their lives. If you want to see people come to Christ, then you should serve in Children’s Ministry.
- Serving children will build humility into your character
Too often, those who work hard in the church nursery or Sunday school are not given credit for their service. “Out of sight out of mind,” is the way most churches operate. While this can be discouraging, I think it’s a blessing in disguise. Like so many other acts of service done quietly, the rewards come in heaven. But in the here-and-now, I am glad for a humble place to serve.
- Serving kids will make you a more patient person
Children’s Ministry is unpredictable and even the best plans can be torpedoed by a disruptive child. This is another blessing in disguise, working with kids will teach you patience. Where else can you gain this excellent fruit of the Spirit in as little as one hour each week?
- The #1 qualification is love
As a young Christian, I discovered that many avenues of church service were beyond my abilities. You may never sing a solo or preach a sermon in church, but God wants you to find a place of ministry. Serving in the Children’s Ministry is open to almost all Christians. If you love God and his children, then there are many different ways for you to help.
If you feel led by God to minister to our LOV Kids, please contact Joan Allis at 716.830.1231. | <urn:uuid:e2f41cc9-bb3b-43a3-a1d8-7af03024286d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://lightofvictorychurch.com/kids_ministry | 2019-07-18T07:02:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525524.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718063305-20190718085305-00225.warc.gz | en | 0.958854 | 658 |
An initiative that Vancouver Police say has reduced violent crime and recovered thousands of dollars' worth of stolen property in the city's Downtown Eastside has also ensnared local residents who have had items that were donated to them seized by officers. Sarah Blyth is executive director of both the Overdose Prevention Society and the Downtown Eastside market, where many of the neighbourhood's low-income residents sell various goods for a small profit.
A British Columbia realtor who failed to represent the best interest of her client when she sold a Richmond home to her daughter, who then flipped it for a total profit of more than $200,000, has been fined just $5,000, a remnant of an oft-criticized disciplinary system before it was overhauled. Guo Xin Bo, also known as Angela Guo, listed a three-bedroom Richmond home for $1,388,000 in January, 2016. She then sold the house to her daughter for $1,285,000.
The pharmaceutical giant that misled physicians and patients about the addictive properties of its top-selling drug OxyContin, fuelling an overdose crisis that has devastated communities across North America, will stop marketing opioids to U.S. physicians. However, the new policy does not extend into Canada. Purdue Pharma L.P. announced the change in a statement issued on the weekend.
Muck Rack makes it simple to find people, tweets, or articles that mention any name, keyword, company, hashtag etc. We've compiled this guide to help you make the most of your search.
Selecting a term
Start searching tweets, articles from media outlets, articles mentioned in tweets, journalists'
names, titles and bios with some suggested searches:
Companies or Topics (e.g. iPhone, Microsoft)
Phrases (e.g. "cloud computing") — use quotes to keep the terms together
Twitter handles (e.g. @username) — returns those who have mentioned or replied to
Names (e.g. "David Pogue")
Hashtags (e.g. #sxsw, #london2012)
Bio details (e.g. vegan, Olympics, father)
Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.
Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Musk AND Zuckerberg or Musk + Zuckerberg.
Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used). For example, results will contain either cake or cookie by searching cake OR cookie or cake,cookie
Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
Exact case matching or punctuation
If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .
Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.
An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.
A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream". | <urn:uuid:0b3d68d9-858a-458f-b5e8-00357bf805a2> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | https://muckrack.com/andreawoo | 2018-02-24T18:07:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891815918.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20180224172043-20180224192043-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.895549 | 866 |
A return to this nature reserve in the midst of Quedgeley. The task was to block off a path that lead too close to the pond. In this respect we decided to erect a dead hedge – mostly using previously cut material from when we did some coppicing. Knocking in some posts we then weaved in various small branches, some of which we had to cut fresh (mostly sycamore). It did the job, so well pleased with our work. | <urn:uuid:cb8f3514-68aa-47c1-b8b8-518bafbda441> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | http://www.gvcv.org.uk/2019/08/quedgeley-local-nature-reserve-16th-june-2019/ | 2019-10-16T03:26:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986661296.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20191016014439-20191016041939-00244.warc.gz | en | 0.982995 | 96 |
Frameless shopfronts are completely secure but add an extra professional look. They create a transparent shop front allowing extra light into the building from the outside and offers more advertising space if required. They are the most popular design on the market for shopfronts due to them being the most cost-effective option whilst maintaining that stylish look and remaining completely secure.

Bernice King has a lot to say when it comes to resisting you-know-who — and her number one rule is saying his name as little as possible!
On Wednesday, the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. shared some wisdom on how to properly push back against Donald Trump (dammit, we said it!) while not disrespecting those who support him.
In a Facebook post beginning with the message "Some Wise Advice Circulating," the activist gave 10 tips on opposing the divisive leader, a lot of which revolves around how we speak about him.
Related: Senators Reading Coretta Scott King's Letter To Support Elizabeth Warren!
King's tips included keeping messages positive, being careful not to spread fake news, and keeping the focus on his policies instead of his cartoonish mental state. (Yikes, this is gonna be hard…)
The final piece of advice, "resist!", encourages opposers to shift more accountability on the president's administration — or as King calls it, his "regime" — which will rob the pseudo-politician of "the focus of attention he craves."
Well, she certainly ain't wrong about that!
Ch-ch-check out King's full post (below) for some very helpful tips on how to #resist!

The twelfth coping strategy is “Something Nice for Someone Else”
For many people in grief, doing acts of kindness, volunteering, doing something to bring comfort, a smile, or some love to another person is a way that we can find a bit of peace within our own pain.
Research shows that volunteerism and altruistic acts to benefit others have long term physical, emotional, and mental health benefits. Doing things for others can result in increased feelings of well-being. It brings a sense of purpose and helps us create meaning when life makes no sense. Studies also show that giving help to others report more benefits than those who receive.
The first Christmas after my son died, the most painful thing was putting up his stocking. Looking at his empty, flat stocking was the worst feeling. Thinking about what to do, I had an idea and felt inspired. I emailed my friends and family and wrote, “Sometime between now and Christmas, do something nice for someone, no matter how small or large, it doesn’t have to involve money—just commit a random act of kindness. When you do it, think of Theo and dedicate that act to him and his sweet spirit.”
I asked them to write down what they did and email it to me. I printed the kindnesses without reading them, folded them and placed them in his stocking. I got acts of kindnesses in his memory from all over, even from people I didn’t know. Christmas morning, we were able to take them out and read them to each other. Each act of kindness to someone else was like a gift to our child as well as to us.
We also began doing random acts of kindness in his memory. Inspired by the MISS Foundation Kindness Project, I continue to do anonymous acts of kindness throughout the year, and always throughout the Christmas season. It brings a sense of connection, of purpose. We share Theo’s Stocking story with people every year and invite anyone who wishes to do an act of kindness in honor of someone they love. They can email us or comment on the blog we now keep and we will post the kindnesses.
Here are some kindness ideas that may spark inspiration:
- Make a batch of cookies and share them with neighbors or friends. You might want to do this anonymously.
- Tape quarters to a vending machine for the next person to use.
- Make a card or draw a picture for someone you love.
- Create small care packages in sealable bags including lip balm, water, a dollar or two, snacks. Give them out when you see homeless or people asking for money.
- Pay the bill for the next person in line at the drive-through or a toll booth.
- Make a piece of art and give it away.
- Leave extra big tips for servers in restaurants.
- Think of someone who has helped you in your grief, or at another time in life, and write them a letter thanking them, letting them know how they made a difference.
- Offer someone who is rushed or who has more items go ahead of you at the store.
- Offer a sincere compliment to someone.
- Give a gift to someone for no reason.
- Ask how someone else you know who is going through a difficult time how they are really doing—and listen to their story.
- Place sticky notes with messages of kindness on public bathroom mirrors, in random places—in shops, tucked into grocery store flower bouquets, around your workplace, on the bus, in a taxi. They might say things that you would like to read yourself. You are beautiful. I love you. You are not alone. You can do this.
- Make note of local charities and non-profits whose missions reflect your or your beloved’s values and learn more about volunteering. When you feel ready, call.
- Donate dog or cat food to your local animal shelter.
- Make copies of your favorite photos of family and friends send them the people in them.
- With sidewalk chalk, draw pictures or write inspirational quotes or messages in public places.
- Send a copy of a book that you love or that you have found helpful to someone else.
- Send a care package to a soldier far from home.
- Leave a book with a note for the person who finds it in a café or airport or other public place.
- Pick up trash when you see it.
- Plant a tree in your loved one’s memory. Plant several trees.
- Create a memorial garden and lovingly care for the plants and flowers.
- If you read something that is helpful or inspirational on a blog or social media, leave a comment letting that person know that their words or posting helped you.
- Each day, ask the Universe for opportunities to serve and to be kind to others. Take them. | <urn:uuid:6f333850-334a-4273-8ecc-fef93b33883c> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://annemoss.com/2018/12/11/day-12-of-the-12-days-of-coping-with-christmas/ | 2019-06-26T20:45:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560628000545.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190626194744-20190626220744-00549.warc.gz | en | 0.964302 | 1,012 |
“He has to go back.”
Those were my husband’s words. It was eight years ago, and my son and I had only the week before flown home to New York from Mexico with our two-month old Boston terrier Leo. It hadn’t come as a complete surprise to us that we were about to become a family with a dog. Five years earlier, when we’d visited our friends in Cuernavaca, the kids had been charmed by their adorable new dog. “Someday,” our friend promised, “When the dog has babies, you can have one.” And sure enough we eventually received the phone call from our friend saying that if we wanted a new puppy, she had one picked out for us.
We’d decided in advance to name him Leo, because we knew that as a Boston terrier he would be anything but a lion in size, and as we soon came to find out, neither was he a lion in personality. In Cuernavaca, when my son and I finally laid eyes on Leo and his puppy siblings, all the others were cuddly and playful, our dog alone standoffish. “My dog hates me,” my son said, concerned about what might be ahead. “But he’s ours,” he continued. “We’ll love him.”
Once we’d flown all the way back to New York, Leo quivering the whole way in my son’s lap, my son comforting him, the unequivocal bonding had happened. He even waited the whole five-hour flight to pee, until my son spread out the newspaper for him next to the baggage claim at JFK.
Before we met Leo, the kids had argued about whose bed he’d sleep in. “Well, you know,” my husband had said, “the dog sleeps with the one who takes care of him, so maybe he’ll be sleeping with me!” The only non-natural-dog lover in the family, I countered, “He most certainly will not.” The kids then started vowing and boasting about how much each of them would walk the dog and feed him, and clean up after him. Truly, I couldn’t imagine my son or my daughter now verging on adolescence getting up early enough to take the dog out before school, or being around to walk and feed him. I worried to myself that my husband would be the chief caretaker.
It was March and still winter when we arrived with Leo on Riverside Drive, the freezing cold and windy climate a distant cry from his birthplace in sunny Mexico. My husband took him on his early morning and late night walks. And because I was the one who could manage to work from home those first few weeks, I was the one to take him out in the daytime. Leo shook more than ever, and I figured out that at least for a start it was best to hold his shivering body in my arms, rather than put him on a leash. I’d set him down on a spot he seemed to like, to pee and poop next to a tree in a little park across from our apartment building and then bring him inside again. In that first week, I hired a dog trainer, who immediately instructed me to sign Leo up for socialization classes, because clearly he was already maladjusted. I wondered whether Leo would ever learn to last more than two hours before having to go outside, if he would ever manage not to pee in the elevator, not to mention learn to get along with other dogs and be less fearful of people.
“It’s cruel to treat a dog like this,” my husband said at the end of that first week, “to keep him like this in a New York city apartment. We were irresponsible to have taken him. Don’t we know anyone who’s flying to Mexico, who can take him back?” In truth, our friends from Cuernavaca would be visiting New York that next week, but I wasn’t ready to imagine that my husband was really serious.
“We can’t just leave him alone all day,” my husband persisted rationally. “It’s just not fair to him.” In fact, the dog had not yet been left alone for more than the occasional hour, although I knew that down the road this would have to change. “What about all of the other dogs who stay alone all day in New York City apartments?” I reasoned. “Well, it’s not fair to them either,” he replied. “Then you’re the one who’s going to bring it up with the kids,” I said. It might be unfair to keep a dog in an apartment, but it had to be bad parenting to give the kids a dog and then take him away just as we were all falling in love with him. “Better to do it now than a month from now,” was my husband’s response. “Fine,” I told my husband, “you speak to them tonight, when I’m out.”
When I returned my husband had not told the kids. My son was still awake behind his closed door, and there was no putting off the inevitable. I went into his room to tell him that the dog would be happier in Mexico, where he wouldn’t have to be alone all day in an apartment. “Dad thinks it’s just not fair to the dog,” I said. “Dad’s wrong!” my son said back. “What does he think other New York dogs do? He’s not leaving. Close my door!” By now, my daughter was also awake, and she was crying, shaking almost as much as Leo.
The next night we had a meeting. We all gathered in the living room, my son and daughter on opposite ends of the chartreuse colored couch, me on the black leather one across the room. My husband stayed in the doorway, standing. I watched both kids hold back, as my husband officiated, saying how unfair it was to have a dog in New York City. My son started shouting. “Dad, we’re all helping out with Leo. Everyone except you!” “You have to let us keep the dog,” my daughter pleaded. “We love him just like other families love their dogs,” she said in tears. “You sound like you’re on some kind of tv show,” my son was now yelling at his sister. We’re keeping the dog, and that’s it!” They were both sobbing. “Okay,” I heard my husband say.
And so we kept Leo. He continued to be skittish, and developed additional eccentric habits, such as barking stridently at other dogs of all sizes, especially at large ones, and then crying and squealing when they barked back. When a stranger would approach us with a woeful look and ask, “Is that dog a rescue?” my husband would dryly respond, “No, we beat him. That’s what makes him the way he is.” Those two came to love each other, like no other dog and master, or maybe Leo was the master, it was hard to tell. My husband would scratch Leo’s belly, as Leo loved and demanded, and as only my husband could do. “Why can’t we have a cuddly dog?” my daughter would say, as she tried to balance him on her lap and he tried to escape. Only when my husband held him, did Leo seem at ease. He learned to jump as high as a circus animal, grabbing the cork out of my husband’s fingers when he opened the wine bottle. He sat by my husband’s side at the table, always ready to lick his plate, and suck on the bone from his meat.
Leo instantly rushed to welcome any of us the moment we crossed the threshold into the apartment. But it was my husband’s entrance that sent him running in endless circles. “He’s the perfect New York dog,” my husband would say. “He even hates going outside. And still, he gets plenty of exercise,” my husband would praise him. It was true, Leo ran regular laps, dashing back and forth across the kitchen for a good half hour a day, and longer on weekends, scratching his nails on the cork floor, as my husband repeatedly threw a tennis ball at top speed. And yes, Leo slept in our bed, continuing to instinctively quiver through the night, which my husband seemed not to notice. After more than eight years, Leo had become our own particular family dog in our own particular New York apartment.
And then, as life continued to have its turns of events, the news came that my husband had to have a major operation to help allay his cancer. It was a promising treatment but a lengthy one, and due to the compromised immunity it entailed, it meant we would no longer be able to have a dog, not one that slept in our bed, not for at least a year. It pained me to think of Leo without my husband, who seemed like he might be Leo’s sole soul mate. But my husband was also a rational being. The dog had to go.
My husband suggested that maybe our friends in Cuernavaca would want him back. But I knew they already had four dogs of their own to tend to, so sending him back to Mexico wouldn’t work. Maybe the porter of our building would take him for a while, like he had all the many times we’d gone on vacation. Or possibly a friend who appreciated Leo’s distinctive personality could provide a good home. “Is he good with children?” one friend asked us. “I’m taking him!” my daughter said, but they wouldn’t allow dogs in her college dorm.
The family of a friend of my daughter’s, who had recently taken Leo for the weekend while we were traveling, loved him. They had brought him to their house by a lake, and reported that Leo actually loved swimming, and that he’d even befriended the Golden Retriever next door, or so the story went. They’d be thrilled to have Leo stay with them indefinitely, they told us. And so, although it was strange and painful to let him go, an incomplete solution, we really did say goodbye to Leo.
In the final assessment, my husband was right—it was irrational to have a dog in a New York City apartment. Now that Leo is no longer here, I don’t miss the times when I’d find a small pool of throw-up on our bed after my husband had left too much raw meat on the bone that he’d given him to gnaw. Or the times when I’d be on the phone, on a business conversation, when Leo would suddenly rise from his long nap and start barking raucously until I would throw him the ball, something I’d then have to manipulate through the entire phone call. But it was also the irrational that made us love him, the way he unpredictably brought us together even while we were arguing about his very presence. Every morning when I finish my bowl of fruit and yogurt, my first instinct is still to put the bowl on the floor, so that Leo will come to lick the remains. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a dog again, but I know I’ll never stop missing Leo’s manic, demanding, and absolutely adorable personality, or the irrational, unpredictable ways he made me, and all of us, happy. | <urn:uuid:753410ff-3b41-47ab-be28-0f964f3077cd> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/247295/in-losing-a-dog-a-lesson-in-love-and-madness | 2019-09-22T10:34:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514575484.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190922094320-20190922120320-00287.warc.gz | en | 0.990177 | 2,524 |

That fanciful palace on the banks of the Arno with its roofline studded with statues is one of the rare Baroque buildings in the Renaissance city of Florence. It belongs to the Corsini family, an aristocratic clan who still reside here, and the monumental palace holds some of their private collection of artwork (though much of it was transferred to their palace in Rome).
Built at the cusp of the Renaissance and Baroque period, it bears a primarily Renaissance ordered facade, but then Filippo Corsini bought it from the Medici in 1649 and undertook a remodeling that gave it the embellishments of Baroque you see today. A beautiful ballroom, grand halls adorned with sculptures, sumptuously painted salons, and a gorgeous garden hidden behind are some of the highlights. The palace rooms can be rented for special events, and the Prince and Princess Corsini also hold charitable functions and cultural events, too.
The garden is also studded with sculptures, laid out in layers for a play of perspective that makes it seem larger than it is. There is a citrus house, and about 100 turtles hanging out, too.
Tours can be reserved by appointment, Monday through Friday. Contact the Palazzo Corsini to arrange a guided tour.

By Jared A. Favole and Andrew Ackerman
A lack of demand is causing the weak economy rather than uncertainty over taxes, regulation and economic policies, according to Alan Krueger, the chairman of President Barack Obama‘s Council of Economic Advisers.
By attacking the argument that uncertainty is holding back economic growth, Krueger is trying to punch a hole through one of the main criticisms Republicans have of President Obama’s economic policies: that a burst of regulations and regulatory uncertainty in general are crushing job growth and hurting the economy. Republicans and business groups have long complained that the Obama administration’s regulation of everything from air quality to Wall Street is heavy handed and hampering growth.
“The evidence, however, suggests just the opposite,” Krueger said in a speech delivered in Charlotte, N.C., pointing to record corporate profits while noting that individual companies rarely cite regulatory burdens as a reason for layoffs.
“If regulatory uncertainty was hurting companies, why would corporate profits be at record levels?” Krueger asked.
President Obama frequently defends his economic policies when delivering campaign and other speeches. The president says new regulations for Wall Street are aimed at preventing reckless risk that led to the financial meltdown, and often accuses Republicans of trying to dismantle protections to the financial system.
Krueger said, without naming Republicans, that people have become overly concerned about regulations. “One of the dangers of exaggerating the effects of uncertainty is that it could paralyze action,” he said. He also quoted from an array of luminaries — from FDR to Amazon.com Inc. Chief Jeff Bezos — to get his point across.
“There are times when, as Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, ‘The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.’ I believe this is one of those times,” he said.
Meanwhile, Krueger warned the economy as a whole, as well as individual Americans, could be harmed if Congress fails to resolve a standoff over a temporary extension to a payroll-tax break as well as expiring benefits for the long-term unemployed. He said economic uncertainty is increased because of House Republicans’ refusal to approve a bipartisan agreement in the Senate to extend the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits for two months.
“Many economists have boosted their forecasts of economic growth for next year on the assumption that the payroll tax cut and extended unemployment benefits will stay in effect,” he said. “Forecasting the economy is hard in part because it is hard to forecast whether Congress will continue the policies that are helping the economy to recover from the deepest recession in the post-war period.”
If Congress doesn’t act by Dec. 31, payroll taxes are slated to rise to 6.2% from 4.2%, affecting the paychecks of 160 million workers, and two million unemployed workers would lose federal benefits by mid-February. | <urn:uuid:ed29ab72-287d-4ddc-9db2-eff15eacce57> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/12/21/white-houses-krueger-lack-of-demand-holding-back-economy/ | 2016-05-30T20:38:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464051113990.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524005153-00098-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961475 | 602 |
Puppy with life-threatening intestinal condition
This little guy had what’s called an intestinal prolapse. He was only three months old and was in a lot of pain when he came in. Dr. Raja gave him pain killer and anti-biotic injections right away.
It had happened suddenly. The owner and another fellow brought him 50 km. on a motor scooter so that Dr. Raja would be the one to treat him.
The condition was life threatening. In three or four days he would have died if not treated. And the operation was a dangerous one that lasted two hours. Dear Dr. Raja kept him a week, treating him post op with i.v.’s having pain killers, anti-biotics, and nutrition.
This first video was taken when he first came in. He’s in pain. And scared.
Dr. Raja operated the next day. The photo below is post op, and he’s unhappy. His owner’s not there. Outside the purview of the photo, though, “pure Heart” supervisor Raja gave him a lot of cuddling and love.
This last video was taken a week later. His owner is getting instructions from Dr. Raja. And I think he knows he’s going home.
Om Namah Shivaya sweetie pie...Your owner loves you...Everyone is so happy that you made it...With love, Us. | <urn:uuid:5b777562-6515-484f-989e-2bae2d6870de> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://www.arunachalasanctuary.com/newsletters/shelter-news/shelter-news-december-2015/224-puppy-with-life-threatening-intestinal-condition | 2023-05-28T07:23:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224643585.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20230528051321-20230528081321-00560.warc.gz | en | 0.981457 | 307 |
Briefing Notes, 7 December 2012
This is a summary of what was said by UNHCR spokesperson Adrian Edwards – to whom quoted text may be attributed – at the press briefing, on 7 December 2012, at the Palais des Nations in Geneva.
Six months after inter-communal violence broke out in western Myanmar's Rakhine state, some 115,000 displaced people are still living in challenging conditions. UNHCR has distributed relief supplies to nearly two-thirds of the affected communities but the needs are still massive.
Currently, people are unable to return to their homes due to widespread destruction and continuing tensions. We are working with the Myanmar authorities on awareness of proper standards for safe and voluntary return when the right conditions are in place. In addition, we continue to advocate citizenship as a solution for those who are displaced and without nationality.
More than 100 people were killed and thousands of homes destroyed in waves of unrest in June, August and late October. Today the displaced people are living with host families and in relief camps and temporary sites. In recent weeks, makeshift shacks have sprouted on roadsides in the state capital, Sittwe. Some shack dwellers say their host families could no longer support them while others are believed to have come from remote camps in the hope of getting assistance.
This week UNHCR erected tents donated by the Korea International Cooperation Agency to provide better shelter for these recent arrivals. We have also moved approximately 5,000 people into longhouse-style bamboo huts on the outskirts of Sittwe. We are also building additional ones for more than 12,000 and more than 220 permanent homes for returnees in Maungdaw.
As part of the inter-agency response to the emergency in Rakhine state, UNHCR is leading efforts in protection, shelter, non-food items and camp coordination and management for the displaced people. Our assistance is targeted at both affected communities based on their needs.
To date, UNHCR has distributed supplies including plastic sheets, blankets, and kitchen sets to some 70,000 people. An additional 3,500 UNHCR tents are scheduled to arrive by boat in Sittwe this weekend to provide emergency shelter to people displaced in October, and now in scattered locations including Pauk Taw, Mrauk-U, Kyauktaw and Myebon.
UNHCR is working with the authorities and other humanitarian agencies to ensure basic standards in the relief camps around Sittwe. Shelters, for example, need to be properly spaced out to prevent overcrowding and the potential health and social problems associated with overcrowding. We are also advocating for the provision of water, sanitation and health care services, and a way of managing the camps that involves the displaced communities themselves.
There are still areas in the Rakhine state that are hard to reach due to their remote location and continuing tensions. Nonetheless, UNHCR staff have distributed basic relief items and are advocating with the government and partners to improve site planning and provide basic services there. Some NGO staff have been reluctant to go to certain areas where inter-communal tensions are still high. In Myebon, UNHCR has been distributing aid and providing transport for doctors to attend to the sick.
At the same time, efforts must begin to pave the way for the eventual return of displaced people in safety and dignity. UNHCR has been urging the government to do more in the affected villages to promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence between the two communities, so as to create an environment conducive for return.
The UN refugee agency has received less than 30 per cent of the $24.35 million we need to care for the displaced people in Rakhine state until June next year.

— The lecture, entitled “Preserving our sound recordings: 25 years since everything changed,” will address the change of paradigm in the preservation of audiovisual documents —
New York, NY, April 25, 2013 — The 136th Audio Engineering Society International Convention, being held in Berlin, Germany, on April 26 – 29, 2014, at the Estrel Hotel and Convention Center, will feature Dietrich Schüller, early advocate of digital audiovisual archiving, giving the Richard C. Heyser Memorial Lecture, one of the most anticipated events at every AES Convention. With his strong international engagement for audiovisual preservation and background experience in physics, ethnomusicology and cultural anthropology, Schüller will explain how technological development has led to a paradigm shift 25 years ago and the ways in which safeguarding the world’s audiovisual has further developed since. The lecture will take place Saturday, April 26, 19:00 – 20:00 (Estrel Hall A).
Schüller originally joined the Phonogrammarchiv of the Austrian Academy of Sciences – the world’s first sound archive founded 1899 – as a student assistant and, following graduation, became its Director in 1972. After concentration on methodological aspects of sound recording for research purposes, he became increasingly engaged in audiovisual preservation and re-recording. He was a member of the Executive Board of the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) from 1975 to 1987, founder of the IASA Technical Committee and its chair until 2001. He is a member of the Audio Engineering Society, was a member of the Organizing Committee of the Vienna AES Conventions 1992 and 2007, and Vice-Chair of the AES Standards Subcommittee on Audio Preservation and Restoration until its closure in 2012. Schüller currently serves as UNESCO Vice-President of the Information for All Programme (IFAP), and chair of the IFAP Working Group on Information Preservation. An author of numerous publications on audiovisual preservation, he is also involved in national and international training courses and workshops for audiovisual archivists.
“The change of paradigm in audio preservation” Schüller reports “started 25 years ago in an informal environment around AES Conventions in the US. The first pilot projects, however, were established by German radio stations in the early 1990s, later followed by television archives. Adequate standards have been established, and we continue to adapt these to the development of the technical environment. I am looking forward to delivering the Heyser lecture at the Berlin convention, to sharing my experience of the development of audiovisual preservation, but also my concerns: specifically magnetic tapes are under threat by the rapid disappearance of replay machines. If not transferred in time to digital repositories, contents will be lost, even if the tapes are still in good physical condition.”
The Richard C. Heyser Memorial Lecture series was established in May 1999 by the AES Technical Council, the Board of Governors and the Richard Heyser Scholarship Fund to honor the extensive contribution to the Society by Heyser, widely known for his ability to communicate new and complex technical ideas with great clarity and patience. The Heyser Series is an endowment for lectures that bring to AES conventions eminent individuals in audio engineering and related fields. Like Dietrich Schüller, many previous lecturers were also exceptional across creative, technical and entrepreneurial roles, including Ray Dolby, Ray Kurzweil, Walter Murch, Phil Ramone and George Massenburg.

View Full Version : How do I obtain default weapon skins?
Damn It Im Shite Tonight
12-11-05, 11:16 AM
I've noticed that a few servers don't allow you on with altered wepons skins. Is there a quick way of changing the skins back to default? I'm just asking in case this should happen on someones match server and I need to remove the skins.
Would it just be a matter of moving the skin files out of their folders temporarily?
I'd have the default ones in a temp folder so you can just copy them back over the modified ones if needed (probably want another temp folder with the modded ones in it so you can copy them back ;) ) That's what I did when I used to run modified skins under 1.5 and 1.6, though I actually quite like the default ones now...
12-11-05, 11:37 AM
This is how the skins/models work:
-Counter-Strike looks in one file, a .gcf file, for all it's content. It's like a .zip file, and it is structured like all of the folders you see in your cstrike folder (and more)
-So, when you place a file with the same name in the same folder, for example, urban.mdl in the modles/player directory, it uses your urban.mdl instead of the urban.mdl in the gcf file. The result is a different model for the CT.
- When a server asks for consistency, open up the console and see all the files in red that it says. Usually these are all in one folder, so navigate to the directory and create a directory called "backup", and cut and paste the directory's contents into the backup" directory.
12-11-05, 11:46 AM
There is a much easier way of doing this, but Penguin's idea is brilliant of course - I found this out during my first clan match het other night
1) locate your cstrike folder (.../steam/steamapps/your_username/counterstrike-source/)
2) copy the folders named MATERIALS, MODELS and SOUND to a temp location (these are created upon installation of any skins)
3) when a server asks for consistency, simply delete the three folders
4) when a server does not ask for consistency, copy the folders back into the cstrike folder from the temp location
I feel this is better than deleting individual models when a server asks
This is how I am able to keep my skins when not playing clan matches, but avoid not being able to play through forced consistency
Hope this helps
P.S. This is a good idea for everyone really, as when you have problems with Steam, and have to reinstall/reformat/whatever unlikely event occurs, you can simply reinstall ALL you skins back :twisted:

Energize IT 2010 – Anything is Possible!
Windows Azure. Office System 2010. Visual Studio 2010. Windows Mobile. The Microsoft-based platform presents a bevy of opportunities for all of us. Whether you are a Manager, Developer, or IT Pro knowing how these will impact you is critical, especially in the new economic reality.
Registration is now available for you to attend this complimentary full day EnergizeIT event where we will help you to understand Microsoft’s Software+Services vision using a combination of demonstrations and break-outs. You will find out about the possibilities that these technologies help realize and the value that they can bring to your organization and yourself.
To start the day we will explore the Microsoft-based platform through a scenario that will demonstrate different points of view – from developer to IT Pro; from consumer to the information worker. From the client to the cloud, this fun-filled demo-intensive exploration will excite you about the possibilities of the Microsoft-based platform. You’ll see how to build next generation applications with technology like Silverlight, .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. You will find out how to consume those applications on a variety of devices, like mobile devices running Windows Phone, netbooks and PCs running Windows 7, as well as the web. You will learn about how the Microsoft-based platform allows you to connect with your colleagues no matter where you are –office, coffee shops, or your own living room. You’ll also see how you and your colleagues can be even more productive with Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010.
In the afternoon we will split in two tracks focused on managing and deploying infrastructure, and the development process. These tracks will help you answer the question “How do I get to the latest technology from my current reality?” You’ll learn about the technical details required for you to be ready to implement some of the technologies demonstrated in the morning sessions and help offer a clear learning and experimentation roadmap, and action plan.
EnergizeIT: From the Client to the Cloud is your opportunity to learn how to harness the power and flexibility of the Microsoft-based platform from the client to the cloud. Invite a friend and Register today for this event. Seating is limited.

The samples below are to give prospective clients a feel of my writing style. The writing I do is not limited to the topics, styles or formats these samples present. I can work within whatever style your project requires.
The following is a sample chapter from a mystery novel.
The oppressive heat of the Georgia summer day settled around the two boys by the creek like a familiar friend. The dry wind fell from the trees and whispered through the brown parched grass, gently stirring the damp brown hair on Dillion Mercer's forehead. Using his forearm, which was minimally cleaner then his dirt browned hands, he pushed his sweat soaked hair from his face. Dillon and his brother Derrick had just made their way through town to settle beside the creek. They had passed up the pond, deciding instead to risk fishing at the creek because it was notorious for the biggest catfish in all of Georgia. Cicadas buzzed in the dense trees across the river. The sound fell and rose to a frenzied crescendo to fall again as if the forest itself had a pulse.
The boys lay their tackle box and can of worms beside the bank of the creek. Dillon was tempted to put his feet in the cool water to relieve himself of the heat. Staring into the water he hesitated wondering what was hiding just bellow the surface covered by the murky shadows. Dillon looked around nervously at the thought. Coming to the creek always made him a little jumpy. He couldn't let Derrick notice though or he would never live it down.
While Derrick busily got his fishing line ready, Dillon stretched out long and lazy in the grass with his head resting on his arms. He stared up at the blue late afternoon sky stretched endless before him like the hopes of a child. He watched a bird fly through the sky toward a destination known only to itself. Dillion's eyebrows furrowed in thought. It was not a bird native to their small town. He had seen that type of bird only once before when his pa took him into the city. There was a whole mess of them, and they had been harassing the folks for crumbs of food, sometimes before they were even done eating. What was this bird doing all the way out here he wondered.
"Hey Derrick?" He asked breaking the serenity. "What's that bird that lives up in the city always eatin the crumbs and such?"
"What are you on about Dillon?” Derrick asked.
"I was wondering, what was that bird?" While Dillon was often kinder and more observant than his brother, Derrick had the advantage of a strong memory.
"Pigeons, why you thinking about that?" Derrick asked annoyed by his brothers tangent.
"Ain't nothin', thought I saw one," Dillon responded.
"Quit dilly dallyin and let's catch us some fish before anyone sees us out here," Derrick said. Dillon sat up and got to work on his own fishing pole. The boys fished with few words shared between them. They were both glad for the break from their fathers farm. Their bucket slowly filled with fat, oversized cat fish as their shadows grew longer with the setting sun.
"We best be gettin back soon," Dillon said gathering his pole for the walk back to the farm. With that suggestion a tug came on Derrick’s line.
"Let me get this last one up," Derrick said excited that he had caught more then his brother. By the strong pull on the line Derrick could tell he had a big one. As the fish came flying out of the
water caught on the line, water sprayed everywhere. The giant catfish put the others to shame as it struggled wildly against Derricks line.
"Oh lord thats a big un! Woo wee thats liable to swallow you up whole Derrick," Dillon whooped.
"Ain't nothin," Derrick said with mock humility while grinning huge. "This one here is gonna be supper tonight!" Derrick left the fish on his string, so he could show it off as they walked back through town towards the farm.
"Hey Derrick, you need some help carryin that sucker?" Ask sheriff Carl as the boys paraded through town.
"Nah Sheriff" Derrick grinned proudly.
The farm house was an old, large family home at the end of a dirt driveway. The home had been in the Mercer family for five generations, but was showing signs of disrepair in recent years. The disrepair betrayed the Mercer’s limited means as a result of the recent depression. When they made it back to their farm, their father, Mickey was putting up the horses after plowing all day. Despite having a family reputation as chicken thieves and lazy drunkards, Mickey and his boys were hardworking and tried to stay honest. Derrick ran up to his dad with a wide grin as proud as ever.
“What are you smiling about boy?” Mickey said teasing his son. Derrick revealed his fine catch. Mickey whistled is admiration. “That’s my boy. Look at this catch Ma!” Mickey called for his wife who was in the kitchen getting ready for dinner. As she came out she shook her head at the boys carrying on.
“You must be mighty pleased with yourself Derrick Mercer. Now go on out back and clean it up boys then I can make some supper," their mamma said. The boys ran out back to clean out the fish. Derrick got out his sharp boning knife. He expertly cut through the fish's thick hide behind its gills, turned it and did the same on the other side. Then holding the fish with his left hand he sliced through it’s belly. Derrick had cleaned and flayed fish countless number of times, but something about this fish gave him pause. It's insides didn't look quiet right. He poked around a little with his hands and worked on scraping the insides clean when he suddenly jumped up and let out a yell dropping the fish to the ground.
"What is it?" Startled Dillon ran up beside his brother. He looked at the surprise on his brother's face, and there was something else there too. Something he rarely saw and almost didn't recognize. It was fear. Dillon looked down at what had his brother so spooked and let out a gasp. Sticking out of the cat fish's stomach was a small human finger.
"What the hell?" Dillon shouted reaching for it.
"Don't touch it!" Derrick shouted. "Who knows whose finger that is! We gotta go tell daddy." | <urn:uuid:64c12eca-aecd-4cf1-a462-8663c8650b5b> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | http://www.ambercrossghostwriter.com/fiction-mystery | 2019-03-24T00:27:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912203123.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20190324002035-20190324024035-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.99 | 1,358 |
