Marco Rubio has reserved the Freedom Tower in downtown Miami for an undisclosed event April 13, which appears to be a potential, if not likely, spot for Florida’s junior senator to announce his candidacy for president.
A Rubio adviser stressed nothing has been nailed down for any kind of announcement, but the timing makes sense: Likely presidential candidate Rand Paul is expected to make things official April 7, followed by a five day, five state announcement tour, so Rubio presumably would not want to share the spotlight during that period.
All but announced candidate Jeb Bush appears to be in no rush to shift more formally into campaign mode, but Texas wholesale jerseys china Sen. Ted Cruz made his announcement this week, and Democrat Hillary Clinton is expected to make her campaign wholesale cheap jerseys announcement in April as well, though nothing has been wholesale nfl jerseys set.
Rubio, 43, has been preparing for a potential presidential run for at least a year. While behind in most early polls, he has generated considerable buzz as a top tier contender who offers the party a fresh face, foreign policy experience, charisma and substance.
The Freedom Tower is apparently one of several venues under consideration by Rubio, but it could be an ideal postcard setting to kick off a presidential campaign promoting the promise and greatness of America by the son of Cuban immigrants. that Monday, which also happens to be Thomas Jefferson’s birthday.
Completed in 1925, the Mediterranean style building on cheap jerseys Biscayne Boulevard once housed the now defunct Miami News before it moved in 1957.

Dear Pharmacist, I moved some furniture last weekend and my muscles are still sore. This happens every time I exert myself, even from walking around the block. My muscles aren’t as resilient as in years past. What can I do or take? –M.J. Decatur, Illinois
Answer: Regular muscle pain is fairly easy to remedy. If it were me, I’d take a hot bath with Epsom salts and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Lavender’s anti-inflammatory properties relieve fatigued muscles. I might also take ibuprofen, or natural Zyflamend by New Chapter whichever I could find first.
The pharmacist in me wants to share some OTC products that can help temporarily. Let’s talk about them and how they work:
Over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication: The three most popular options here are acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and naproxen (Aleve). These reduce inflammation within an hour or two. I recommend you take these with food. Keep in mind, acetaminophen is harder on the liver, while ibuprofen and naproxen affect the stomach and intestines more so ask the pharmacist which is better for you. Natural anti-inflammatories won’t work as quickly; these include omega 3 fish oils, krill oil and bromelain (from pineapples).
Ben Gay Moist Heat Therapy Pads: These non-medicated, odorless pads are air-activated and they get nice and toasty on your skin, very similar to the moist heat of a shower. They help ease muscle/joint aches or pain associated with PMS, overexertion and strains for up to eight hours.
Icy Hot Medicated Patches: Menthol usually comes in cream form, but these patches contain menthol in a patch which causes a unique sensation on the skin for up to 8 hours.
Kink-Eaze: Formulated by a pain-specialist, David S. Klein M.D., this contains menthol and 10 times the amount of MSM found in other products. It could help improve flexibility, relieve muscle spasms, minor joint pain, achy muscles and knee pain because the MSM goes through right the skin. Available at www.stages-of-life.com
Capsaicin: It’s the active ingredient in chili pepper and you can buy it at pharmacies nationwide. I suggest the patches or roll-on for ease. These work fabulously with repeated applications.
Do you suffer with chronic muscle soreness? If so, look in your medicine cabinet. Statin cholesterol drugs and blood pressure pills are well-known culprits to cause muscle pain. The remedy for drug-induced myopathy of this sort is Coenzyme Q10, see my Drug Mugger book for more.
People who have mercury overload, or chronic fatigue syndrome have poor mitochondrial function and may benefit from apple extract called “malic acid.” This substance jumps right into your Krebs cycle to help your mitochondria. Long story short, with malic acid supplementation, you produce energy and relieve tenderness. I think it could help fibromyalgia, especially when combined with magnesium, whey (or hemp) protein, or creatine.
Did You Know? Corticosteroids are drug muggers of calcium, you may need to supplement if you take these medications long-term. | <urn:uuid:68c450ff-1489-4dff-b3a8-3a4a002ac8c9> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.boulderweekly.com/content-archives/health/dear-pharmacist/relieve-sore-achy-muscles-fast/ | 2017-11-18T08:13:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804680.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118075712-20171118095712-00532.warc.gz | en | 0.92661 | 729 |

Near Stone Bridge Prince WM July 24
My Dear Sukey In accordance with my promise I now take the 1st opportunity of writing to assure you of my safety. I was in the action on Sunday which I will now designate as the Battle of Stone Bridge as it was fought near or around that point; In the first place let me assure you my dear that I escaped without a scratch & I don’t think either Billy or Garlick was in the action. Charles was not. Now Sukey all I can do is to give you a description of the fight so far as I saw it. No doubt you will read in the papers splendid descriptions of it but then I know Sukey will read with interest what I write, Well I begin. Last Wednesday we were ordered to retreat from Camp Manassas back in good order, in Centerville we remained there only about half an hour, then took our line of march to Stone Bridge or near it. Camped in the open field without a protecting tent until Friday night then crossed Bulls Run & camped in the woods. Sunday morning hear the firing of cannons about 8 o clock & the answering fire of our pickets on our right at the enemy as he brought his batteries into position. About 9 we fell back over the creek. The fire of Cannon was then heavy on our
right left. We took a position near a ford to defend it in case the enemy should try to pass. The attempt was made about a half mile above us Between 10 & 11 o o clk the fire of musketry commenced furiously & the cannonade was terrific. Our regiment held its position by the ford until about 2 in the evening. the battle raging up the creek all the time. At that hour we were ordered into action. The fight was evidently at the time going against us, we were gradually falling back & the Yankees advancing. That was the crisis. After moving about a half a mile, we passed under the fire of the battery on the enemies extreme right, I saw a heavy shot fly over our column as we passed the line of this battery & fall about 75 yds from us. We were marching out double quick then. I then felt uneasy Sue; but saw at a glance they had not the range accurately & that they could not get it before we passed under a hill. We formed under that hill in line of battle & marched up [through] an orchard. When we breached the top of this hill the scene burst in all its wild and awful horror on my sight. Ill try & give you a faint idea of it. Imagine a knoll on the hill about 300 yds wide about 3/4 of mile to the front & right another open field framed in by thick pines, this field [was] shaped like a horseshoe with the concave side toward us. The outside lined with four heavy batteries having the range accurately an[d] praying incessantly on the line we are about to pass. Our brave Cav. volunteers started on the dangerous passage advance[ing] about 100 yds without the protection of a friendly line & then comes the insane command “halt”. Our boys did so. At this time I heard the hissing in quick succession of two projectiles from rifled pieces. I felt I think afraid & moved my head first to the right & then to the left, At this moment a shell burst on my right about 20 yds in advance & as many feet in the air. I never felt fear afterwards. At length the order came for us to advance & we did so in common time betwn & descended the opposite side of the hill. All this time Sukey the air was filled with missiles thrown from rifle cannon front flank & rear they came but the hand of God was evidently there. not a man was hurt. One battery I noticed in particular the center one I saw a column of white smoke gush from the muzzle of the pieces curl in graceful circles above it & then heard the hissing of the balls. Rising beautifully, beautifully in the air it reached the highest point & then descending completed its graceful circle by plunging in the earth about 30 yds in our rear. It was an ugly customer shaped like a sugar loaf. O Susan it was a horrid field. The rout of the enemy was utter. Our Calvary pursued them took m[an]y prisoners a vast amount of baggage, wagons, & etc. Many guns & cannon while the wood & field was in some places covered with dead bodies. The first dead man I passed made me shudder but that feeling was soon lost & on the field I soon looked on every species of wound indifferently. But I did not lose my humanity as one thing will prove to you. I passed one of the Zouaves wounded badly. I approached him and asked if he wanted water. Yes he said faintly. I leaned over my fainting bleeding enemy; put my musket down passed my left arm tenderly as a brother around his neck, raised his head, poured the last drop of water from my canteen down his parched throat. He then said “will you be so kind as to move me to that tree” I called a friend to help me but was ordered on and had to leave him. The Zouave died. Sukey I was driven by thirst after that to drink water said to be mixed with human blood. I felt better after that act of kindness. “The mercy I to others show that mercy show to me” I now say confidently to you some men hath sneered at expressions of sympathy from an enemy. I know of them. I cried steady to while under fire. I will never strike or taunt a disarmed fallen enemy. The field was dreadful & the smell hard to bear every kind of wound met the eye. Here a body almost cut in two by a cannon shot, there an arm again a leg. I answered two things I had often heard before. One was that a man killed by a gun shot wound always had an expression of pain on his face. This is true Sue, I did not see one but had an expression of agony stamped indelibly on his face by the very hand of death. The other a man cannot tell where a shell will fall by the hissing sound it makes in the air. I passed over a different part of the field after the enemy was in full retreat. The sight sickened me to the heart. Alas! For poor humanity & to select Gods own holy day for the devils own work but they our enemies must have it so. I now have a musket taken on the field & hope I may be permitted to keep it if I live. Don’t you think I ought to have it, Suky? Now Sue Ill tell you what I think of the numbers engaged killed i.e on each side? But let me tell you it is only my own personal opinion, tho I have seen no estimate, and of course entitled to no respect. I think the Yankees have about 60 thousand men. We have about 30 thousand when I entered the field & 40 thousand when the enemy retreated for we were constantly reinforced from Manassas which was only 5 miles distant. Jef Davis got to the field before the battle closed. Johnston & Beauregard were back then I think during the day. I estimate our loss at 500 killed 1500 wounded, which the enemy must have lost killed, wounded & taken between 7 & 10 thousand probably as much as the latter. Had the Cavalry been aided by a regiment of foot in the pursuit, we would have killed or taken more. Sukey if I live to see you again will give you a better description of the scene. God grant that I may live to see your sweet face once more. The Yankees were well clothed well armed well fed. better prepared. All of them wore splendid canteens & haversacks. Believe no more what you hear about them as starving raggeds. I know it to be false now. Please write to me at once. Same Direction

First posted on 20 January 2009. Last updated on 11 November 2013.
The game is available at GamersGate.
Deck13 Interactive's Jack Keane is an adventure game imported from Germany. It is set in the tradition of LucasArts' Monkey Island. Deck13 Interactive is best known for the Ankh series of comedy adventure games, and Jack Keane has much in common with Ankh. As with Ankh, Jack Keane is a very satisfying game with solid production values and writing. Although a few problems with hotspots and counterintuitive puzzles have prevented the game from earning a perfect score, I still recommend it highly to any gamer who enjoys a lighthearted point-and-click adventure.
The game puts the player in the role of a ne'er do well ship captain named Jack Keane. As the game begins, Jack finds himself the captive of a couple of thugs, who are after him for the money he owes their boss. After Jack manages to escape, he is hired by the English to transport a special agent Montgomery to the mysterious Tooth Island, where a megalomaniacal botanist and tea planter (Doctor T) is scheming to disrupt the international tea trade. Along the way, Jack meets the beautiful Amanda, Doctor T's henchwoman. (Avid gamers will likely recognize Amanda's voice, performed by Lani Minella, who is also the voice of Nancy in Her Interactive's Nancy Drew series.) Amanda and Jack do not like each other at first, though their relationship gradually improves and they begin to grow fond of each other. As Jack devises a plan to stop Doctor T, he also learns a bit about his own mysterious childhood past.
The goal of any comedy based game is to inspire laughter, but with Jack Keane I seldom break into open guffaws while playing. A few of the better gags involve the relationship between Amanda and Jack, but Agent Montgomery is also quite funny as a pretentious charlatan with hilarious mannerisms. Nevertheless, I best describe this game as more zany than hilarious, more like The Secret of Monkey Island than Sam & Max Hit the Road. The developer does a good job poking fun at stale conventions. For instance, when Jack cuts some vines with his knife, grand music plays, as though something really wondrous has just occurred—when in fact, it is quite mundane work. Aside from the main story, there is also an important subplot concerning the island's natives who are planning a wedding before an accident (caused by Jack, not surprisingly) injuries the bridegroom who then succumbs to amnesia. This and several other plot twists help to turn the game into a rather long affair.
The puzzles in Jack Keane are mostly inventory based, usually involving finding and using an object or combining objects in the inventory to discover new uses. For instance, combining a telescope with Amanda's rifle turns it into a sniper rifle, which allows her to shoot at jars and barrels a great distance away. Most of these puzzles are intuitive enough, and the characters usually provide hints about their purpose. Thankfully, the developer has made the wise decision not to give the player too many objects to work with at any given time, so it is easy enough to rely on trial and error when all else fails. The developer also does a good job making use of hotspots. When Jack can climb on a ledge or rock, a bright, flashing star appears over the hotspot. I greatly appreciate this feature. As well, the developer has cleverly limited the areas Jack or Amanda can explore; this greatly reduces the tedium involved in backtracking all over a large map to try ideas. Finally, at certain points Jack can even activate bonus features, which allow him to zoom instantly to specific locations. Although the player gets to control Amanda at times, the bulk of the game is spent playing as Jack.
I was only stumped a few times while playing this game. In all cases, the problem turned out to be hotspots which I had failed to notice. Even with the flashing stars, some hotspots are very easy to miss, especially when walls or awkward camera angles can obscure them. Since the camera angels are fixed in each scene, the game may play much better if the player is allowed to control the camera instead. Also, the characters' frequent protests to the player ("That won't work") can become quite grating after awhile. The game is better off to either leave them out or limit how often they are repeated.
Some of the puzzles are dialog based, which necessitates going through each dialog option several times. Many of these are triggered by game events, so it may be necessary to repeatedly go through each and every option multiple times. This can become quite tedious and even uncalled for. If a developer really wants to force the player to talk to a character before moving on, it is better to give the character enough hints or suggestions to make it clear what needs to be done. For example, I found myself roaming for hours with Amanda, only to find out later that I needed to talk to Miss Gristle about lemon aid, but could do that only after I had executed a few other actions.
These complaints may overshadow what I have enjoyed about this game, however. Most impressive are the graphics and 3D animation. The characters all move realistically, and Amanda is among the most aesthetically pleasing characters I have yet seen in a videogame. The game is probably not suitable for all ages. It includes a few scenes in which Amanda is wearing nothing but her bra and panties, and there is an implied sexual encounter. There is also a funny section where Jack is completely naked, though the player only sees Jack's behind (he covers his private parts with his hands). I personally do not find any of this offensive or questionable, but some parents (who may be purchasing this game for their children) may not want their children to see these scenes. There is no cursing or gratuitous violence. The sound effects and music are good, though not particularly noteworthy. Voice acting is good to great throughout, though it was a bit disarming hearing Amanda say naughty things with the voice I have come to associate with Nancy Drew!
Jack Keane is a very good game that will likely please both Ankh and Monkey Island fans. Though not without a few flaws, most gamers will be impressed with Jack Keane's solid production values and attention to detail. I recommend it, though I sympathize with players who get stuck in this game. They need not to feel too guilty about their mishap—it is likely a missed hotspot or dialog option rather than their own ineptitude. | <urn:uuid:c6a1b520-c130-4d2d-89cb-45819de8be02> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/reviews/396/ | 2015-04-25T21:45:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246651727.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045731-00002-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972072 | 1,348 |
Buying Underwear Fuels the Economy
Have you heard the crazy notion that men’s underwear sales are an economic indicator?
When men’s underwear sales are up, the economy is doing well. When people are not buying guys’ tighty whities, the economy is in the tank.
Do you think it’s true?
Who knows what the exact reasoning behind it is. Some say it’s because women control the purse strings of the family and that’s just one family item they don’t buy when money is tight. Others say it’s the guys who finally feel free to go out and splurge on undies when the economy starts to pick up. It’s something to chat about at work today and see if you and your co-workers can get to the bottom of it!
Regardless, enough people are buying men’s underwear now that the economy is really starting to move. There are reports from Hanes that their sales have risen each of the last three years. And overall, men’s underwear sales have ticked up steadily in the past year.
Thanks for buying the underwear! You’re helping us all dig out of this recession. Some of you guys need an upgrade more than once every five years anyway.

Rudy Gay provided the go-ahead basket with 13.3 seconds left to lift the Memphis Grizzlies to a 103-100 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
Jerryd Bayless missed a jumper with 17.9 ticks showing, but Gay cleaned up the miss and knocked down a floater in the middle of the lane to put the Grizzlies up 101-100.
Nick Young's jumper on Philadelphia's ensuing possession rimmed out before Gay, who finished with 26 points, seven rebounds and five assists, netted a pair of free throws with 1.2 seconds left.
The Sixers, though, had one last chance to tie the game. Following a timeout, Young took the inbounds pass and fired up a desperation 3-pointer from the right wing, but Marc Gasol swatted it away to seal the win.
Gasol scored 27 points to go with seven boards and seven assists and Bayless, who started in place of Mike Conley, scored 21 points and dished out nine assists for Memphis, winners in three of its last four. Conley sat with an injured ankle.
"We were a little flat early, then in the second quarter we blitzed them," said Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins. "In the third, we thought we had control of the game, then it looked like they were going to have it."
Evan Turner scored 27 points on 12-of-18 shooting and also dished out seven assists. Thaddeus Young poured in 23 points and pulled down seven boards for the Sixers, who haven't won back-to-back games since winning three straight from Nov. 25-30.
Jrue Holiday, who was named to his first All-Star game last week, scored 18 points and dished out 10 assists in the setback.
"Our guys played really well, they played hard, it was a tough loss," said Sixers head coach Doug Collins. "I told them (after the game) that I was not disappointed in them, I was disappointed for them."
The game was tied at 79-79 entering the final frame. The Grizzlies scored the first five points of the period to take an 84-79 lead just 45 seconds in, but the Sixers responded with an 11-6 swing to tie the game at 90-90 three minutes later.
The teams traded baskets from there until Holiday's 17-footer with just over three minutes left gave Philadelphia a 100-97 lead.
Zach Randolph tipped in Gay's miss with just under one minute to go to pull the Grizzlies within 100-99. Nick Young then bricked a deep trey before Gay knocked down the go-ahead basket.
The Sixers led 33-20 after the first quarter, but Memphis exploded for 37 points in the second to take a 57-54 lead into the break.
Randolph scored just four points but grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds ... The Grizzlies shot 54.8 percent (40-for-73) from the floor and went 8-for-13 from 3-point range ... Memphis made more free throws (15-for-19) than the Sixers attempted (6-for-9) ... The Sixers outscored the Grizzlies, 42-34, in the paint ... Philadelphia scored a season-high 33 first-quarter points ... Nick Young finished with 13 points. | <urn:uuid:4737efd7-b137-4531-8e8f-472c83976cee> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/01/28/grizzlies-hang-on-to-knock-off-sixers.html | 2017-05-27T16:44:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608956.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527152350-20170527172350-00159.warc.gz | en | 0.969457 | 683 |

One of the joys of gardening is sharing your plants. Gardeners have always exchanged cuttings, and roses often top the list. Old and heirloom roses, in particular, have been passed down through the years by taking slips and growing new plants. Starting rose cuttings is fairly easy to do.
Take a 6- to 8-inch cutting from tip of a stem that has recently bloomed. Remove the end of the stem down to the first set of leaves, trimming at a 45-degree angle. The best time of year to take cuttings, according to horticulturist Dr. William C. Welch, is during the cool months from November through February (see References).
Dip the end of your cutting into rooting hormone before planting. Gently tap the cutting to remove excess powder.
(An alternative to rooting hormone is willow water. Cut 1-inch sections of willow branches, both horizontally and laterally, and soak in a pan of water that has been brought to a rolling boil (rainwater is ideal), Welch recommends. Steep the willow pieces overnight, until the water looks like weak tea. Remove the willow and place your rose cuttings in the water for several hours. You also can use this mixture to water your cutting when it's first planted. Research at Ohio State University has shown that willows contain substances that can induce rooting and prevent "damping off" or canker in other plants, Welch says.)
Make a hole with a pencil or chopstick in the potting soil. Place your cutting about half its length into the soil, backfill gently and press down firmly to remove air pockets and water thoroughly.
Place the pot in a clear plastic bag and close it tightly. Place a stick or piece of wire into the soil to keep the bag from falling down onto the cutting.
Remove the bag after the cutting has rooted.
(Another option Welch recommends is putting cuttings into potting mix in a clear plastic bag and hanging them on a clothesline in bright shade. It will be easy to tell when roots have appeared, he says, as you can see them through the transparent plastic.)
Keep your potting medium moist, particuliary for the first few weeks while the plant is rooting. Never let your cutting dry out. | <urn:uuid:9ca2ec48-4c0b-49de-88ea-89fd9c071b18> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.gardenguides.com/83803-start-rose-cuttings.html | 2014-10-01T06:06:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1412037663365.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20140930004103-00259-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945417 | 476 |

The imminent delimitation problem, which is set to be decided in 2026, was broached by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the first time on Tuesday while speaking at a rally in the upcoming election-year state of Telangana.
Modi addressed the issue head-on, stating that the South “stands to lose 100 seats” and making the same about the stance adopted by the Congress, in response to various leaders in the South expressing worry that delimitation based on population would lead to a decline in their representation in Parliament.
Speaking in Nizamabad, Modi referred to the demand for a caste census made by Congressman Rahul Gandhi during the most recent Karnataka Assembly elections as “Jitni aabadi, utna haq” to convey his point.
“The nation is now debating the subsequent delimitation. It will imply that Lok Sabha seats will decrease wherever there is a decline in population and an increase where there is an increase in population. The southern states have made incredible strides in population management, but they stand to lose much if the new concept of rights in proportion to population proposed by the Congress is put into practice.
100 Lok Sabha seats could be lost in South India. South India will they accept this? Will the Congress be pardoned in South India? I want to warn Congress leaders from deceiving the public. Make it obvious why they are participating in this game, Modi demanded.
The PM said: “I want to specify that this new thought (Jitni aabadi, utna haq) is injustice to southern India” and demanded that the INDIA alliance and Congress “clarify if they are against South India.”
Despite being a risky political move, BJP sources claimed that the PM had carefully planned it and that the party had prepared the ground in a region where it has little to lose. The North continues to be the party’s traditional base, and it is safe to assume that delimitation will benefit the BJP there.
Additionally, all parties must eventually swallow this harsh pill, and Modi may have threw down the challenge for the Congress to do so. Additionally, he killed two birds with one stone by employing a Rahul term and the Congress’ desire for a caste census.
The opposition’s call for a caste census, which aims to weaken the BJP’s hold on the OBCs, may find less support in the South, where intermediate castes dominate most states’ political systems.
According to BJP officials, Modi’s address contained advice for party leaders on how to frame the delimitation debate without ignoring the need to respect regional power dynamics.
In the past, M K Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu and a significant ally of the Congress, described the 2026 delimitation as a “Sword of Damocles” hanging over the heads of the southern states because they risk having fewer representatives in Parliament. Similar questions about whether the South was being “punished” for achieving population control goals established by the Centre itself have been raised by other CMs as well.

The Finance Commission example
The 2011 Census served as the foundation for the 15th Finance Commission’s devolution of federal tax revenue to the states. The southern states have argued that a population-based standard caused their portion of the tax devolution to decrease from 17.98% of the total in the 14th Finance Commission to 15.8% in the 15th.
Another cause of their anger is that the southern states, which make up 35% of the country’s GDP yet only include 20% of its people.
According to some projections, Tamil Nadu might see an increase of 10% (to 43, roughly, from 39 now), while Kerala (20 seats) might not see any change. Uttar Pradesh, which is already the most powerful state politically, could see a rise of 80% (or 144 seats, compared to 80 seats).
Given the overall rise in seats for the Lok Sabha in the North, this might effectively mean that the South will have less influence over decisions made at the Centre.
“According to the National Population Policy, the country’s population is expected to stabilize in 2026. As a result, until 2026, when we hope that the country’s population will stabilize, what was true up until 2000 will be attempted to be frozen, the official stated.
The country’s ability to meet its population goals by 2026 was questioned at the time by the opposition Congress. The opposition leader Shivraj Patil then remarked, “I find it very difficult to embrace this optimism. It was anticipated that the population might not rise in 1976. However, the population has grown. What is the assurance that the population will stay in its current location? It’s quite challenging for me to accept this logic.
The Modi govt & delimitation
In the delimitation committee established by the Vajpayee administration, former BJP Lok Sabha MP turned Congress leader Manvendra Singh, who represented his native Rajasthan, claimed the then-PM informally informed the panel members that there was an unofficial agreement among parties to maintain the balance of power among states.
Manvendra Singh noted that there are reservations about the Modi administration’s methods of operation. “Knowing how this government works, it may pass a Bill without taking the opinions of southern states into account. And by every assessment, states where the BJP is a dominating force—such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, etc.—would come out on top. That would not do,” he declared.
Kanimozhi N V N Somu of the DMK is one of the MPs from the South who has brought up this matter in Parliament. When discussing the devolution of Central funding in the Rajya Sabha last year, she said: “It is completely absurd and unfair that states that have successfully implemented family planning are penalized, while states that are reckless are rewarded.”
Kerala’s CPI(M) Lok Sabha MP John Brittas made the following statement at a recent special session when talking about the “Parliamentary Journey of 75 Years”: “Kerala contributes Re 1 to the national kitty and gets back 25 paise.”
The party leadership is aware of the difficulties delimitation presents, the need to address them “sensitively,” and the reality that the process itself cannot be avoided, according to a top BJP politician from the South, who said that the opposition’s concerns are unfounded. There is no way around it. A constitutional process, organizing representation based on population has been postponed by previous governments. But it needs to be addressed right away,” the leader stated.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, a union minister and BJP member of the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka, claimed that Modi’s Telangana address had highlighted the profound inconsistencies and hypocrisy within the INDIA coalition.
“On the one side, Congressman Rahul Gandhi is publicly stating that more seats should go to states with a higher population, or “Jitni aabadi, utna haq.” On the other hand, his coalition partner DMK is concerned about the loss of seats in southern states. The Prime Minister has stated that southern states will lose 100 seats if the nation adopts Rahul’s political platform. | <urn:uuid:a8290d62-5c89-4697-b883-752e1191ba64> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://electionleader.com/pm-modi-raises-delimitation-issue-says-south-stands-to-lose-100-seats/ | 2024-02-25T00:51:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474573.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20240225003942-20240225033942-00142.warc.gz | en | 0.962968 | 1,553 |

Alright as happy as I am that farseer macha is returning I am a bit dissapointed on something.
Why doesnt she have her helmet and pony tail that make her so iconic from the rest of other farseers? The only think to indicate that she is Macha right now its because of the stripes on her cheeks which became popularized by 4chan.
When I think about Macha I think in a femenine and graceful farseer with white armor, cloak and a prominent ponytail. Without them she just looks like your generic eldar farseer, She is basically Idranel 2.0
Seriously? At least I have the solace that they are still in progress so this could still be fixed. And besides she is supposed to be pretty "why do you think she is the waifu of /tg/?"

Vernon 'thinks big' for the future
VERNON >> Farmer and pastor Art Miller challenged his community to "think big."
"I know with the Planning Commission, we had the gas plant we batted around town. That's suspended as far as I know in this point of time," he said, referring to the Kinder Morgan pipeline project being shelved. "That's a big thing."
With the shutdown of nuclear plant Vermont Yankee comes a significant reduction in taxes paid to the town. And that amount is only going to shrink as time goes on.
Miller, who told residents that a second Community Visit meeting Thursday with the Vermont Council of Rural Development was a chance for them to be "bold and creative" about solutions for Vernon, was selected to serve as chairman of the process. The Community Visit is funded through the Windham County Economic Development Program, which was created in a settlement between Yankee owner Entergy and the state of Vermont to assist with the anticipated loss of about 600 jobs.
Residents decided new priorities should include creating a village center and opening a community store or cafe. Also on the list was improving trails and outdoor recreation with a thought to conservation and developing the riverfront.
Some spoke of wanting Vernon to become a destination — whether that meant for recreation or living or both depended on who was talking.
"My vision is somehow, how do we become that town?" Planning Commission member Brett Morrison said.
Planning Commission member Martin Langeveld pointed at places like Putney, Newfane and Townshend for inspiration.
"It's the village center that helps to define the town," he said. "So it would be a catalyst for bringing more business and residents into town."
Resident Karen Amidon wants to see Vernon made into a drug-free community. She noted the importance of having a "very strong school system" and maintaining school choice for students leaving the elementary school.
"We don't have the community store and cafe anymore. We did. We miss it," said Select Board member Emily Vergobbe. "We want it back."
Resident Martha Haskins called for Vernon to take a leadership role in protecting natural resources and land.
Attendees recognized that the Planning Commission, tasked with exploring economic development opportunities now too, was already making some headway on preparing for post-Yankee life. For about two years, the commission talked with interested parties about a natural gas plant. Voters largely supported the prospect in a nonbinding vote at annual Town Meeting in March.
The commission is still interested in large-scale energy projects and whatever else might benefit the town. A subcommittee is looking at fiber optic improvements.
These type of projects were deemed important by residents who voted by posting stickers on individual sheets of papers with the aforementioned priorities. But since the commission is actively looking at these items, VCRD Executive Director Paul Costello said his group would arrange for a team of experts in those fields to meet with the commission. Task forces assigned to the other priority items will meet with other specialists in meetings that the council will help facilitate.
The next meeting, on July 7, is expected to bring those resources to the town. The experts are expected to come from all different backgrounds. State, federal, nonprofit and business leaders came to Vernon for the first Community Visit on May 18.

Tyler Parsons has already experienced the ups and downs of professional hockey just a few games into his rookie season with the Kansas City Mavericks.
After a tough team and personal start, the 20-year-old goaltender is riding high as the Mavericks are on a five-game winning streak and he was named CCM ECHL Goalie of the Week for Nov. 13-19.
Parsons played in four games last week, winning all four, and claimed his first professional shutout (2-0 over Quad City) to cap an undefeated road trip for Kansas City.
“It was a great week,” Parsons said. “We got off to a good start with the win at home (5-2 Kids Day Game Tuesday morning against Tulsa) and kept rolling on the road. The defense has been playing great and the offense is scoring goals.
“I might have been honored (by the league) but this is an honor that everyone can share. We’re playing hockey, really strong hockey, for 60 minutes and that’s how you win five games in a row – especially when you play four games in five nights in three cities.”
The Mavericks (9-6-0-0) have vaulted from sixth place in the ECHL’s Central Division to second place with 18 points, trailing only Toledo (11-2-2-0, 24 points).
“We just go out and get the job done,” Parsons added. “We can’t control the schedule. Now, we just go out and play. We got off to a kind of slow start, and for me personally, I had to get used to the pro game, the travel, all of that. I feel so much more confident now and can’t wait for Wedneday’s game at home against Wichita.”
The Mavericks are back in action at 7:05 tonight as they play host to the Thunder at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena.
The former second-round NHL Draft pick of the Calgary Flames saved 135 of 141 shots faced for a .957 save percentage last week.
The Chesterfield, Mich., native, who is listed as NHL.com’s top prospect in the Calgary Flames’ system, is now 6-4 on the year with a 3.40 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage.
“He’s got so much talent,” Mavericks coach John-Scott Dickson said of Parsons. “You can tell he’s playing with a lot more confidence and we expect a lot of good things from him and the team the rest of the season.” | <urn:uuid:6a141747-813d-4519-be0a-2365914a218f> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.examiner.net/sports/20171122/parsons-rewarded-for-leading-mavericks-surge | 2017-12-12T12:31:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948516843.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20171212114902-20171212134902-00053.warc.gz | en | 0.964509 | 560 |

If you’re looking to cut down on your home phone bill without cutting your phone cord entirely, you can do a lot worse than Ooma.
Like other alternatives to your local phone company, Ooma delivers calls over the Internet. Unlike many of its rivals, though, Ooma offers a high-quality service without ongoing connection charges.
Ooma began offering its service about six years ago, but since last fall, it’s revamped its offerings. The company introduced a new wireless handset, a device called Linx that allows users to connect multiple phones to their service and a new plan targeted at small business owners.
I’ve always had a landline and, for the last decade or so, it has come from my broadband provider. But that service has become pricey, especially considering we don’t use it much. For a standard landline, you can expect to spend $25 or more each month.
That’s what makes VOIP — Voice Over Internet Protocol — services such as Ooma’s so attractive: They can dramatically slash your home phone bill. Even with the pricier VOIP services, you can save $10 or more a month. And Ooma offers a deal that’s even better.
Unlike the broadband services and other VOIP providers, Ooma doesn’t require a subscription. Instead, you pay $150 for the company’s Telo box, an adapter that basically connects your regular landline phone to your Internet modem or router. After that, the only thing you need to pay are monthly taxes on the service, which typically amount to between $4 and $6.
The basic service offers many of the features you’d find on higher priced plans from your local phone company or cable provider. You get unlimited calling within the United States, call waiting, caller ID and voice mail. Ooma will assign you a phone number in your local area code or you can choose — for $40 more — to have your current home number ported over.
Ooma also offers a “premier” service for $10 a month. It includes a second phone line and lets you block particular phone numbers and configure the service so it rings your home and mobile phones at the same time. For another $10, you can get the mobile app, which can access your voice mail and allow you to place low-cost international calls from your smartphone.
Although I’ve never had a VOIP service, I’ve talked to many people who do, and I’ve often been unimpressed with the call quality. Calls can stutter, you can miss words or whole sentences and sometimes voices sound metallic or robotic. That’s one of the main reasons I’ve been reluctant to switch to a VOIP service.
But I was impressed with the calls I made on Ooma, which prides itself on offering high-quality transmissions. The calls typically sounded as good as if I had placed them on my regular landline.
Many of the calls I made were with Ooma’s new handset, the HD2. It works like a regular cordless phone, with the Telo serving as its base station. You can plug the HD2 in anywhere in your house and roam around talking on it.
One cool feature of the HD2 is that it will download your contacts. On your account page on Ooma’s website, you can import contacts from Outlook, Google (GOOG), Facebook and other sources. Once there, they will automatically transfer over to the handset. That may not seem revolutionary if you’ve been using a smartphone, but it’s a huge convenience on a plain old landline.
The other nice feature of the HD2 is one-button access to your Ooma voice mail. By contrast, on a regular handset, you’d have to dial in your full phone number to check your messages.
Other than that, though, the HD2 is undistinguished. It’s plastic and feels cheap. Compared with the Panasonic cordless phone I own, it feels big and bulky. And at $60 per handset, it’s expensive; you can get a set of five cordless handsets at Costco for $120.
The other new device in Ooma’s lineup is the Linx, which is basically a portable phone jack. After you plug the Linx into a power outlet and sync it with the Telo, you can connect any landline to it. It’s a way of extending your Ooma service to other rooms in your house without having to buy an HD2 or a set of cordless phones. The Linx is easy to set up and works well, but it too is pricey, costing $50 per device.
In addition to offering expensive accessories, Ooma’s service has other shortcomings. If your main reason for having a landline is for emergencies, Ooma may not be the best service for you. It’s dependent on your electrical and broadband services, both of which are liable to fail in a disaster.
I also found myself wishing Ooma could do more. Unlike Skype, it doesn’t support texting or video calls. And unlike Google Voice, it doesn’t allow you to place calls directly from your computer by simply clicking a phone number or address book entry.
But those are quibbles. Compared to the phone services offered by AT&T and Comcast, Ooma offers comparable call quality and similar features. I’d pass on the handset and Linx, unless you really needed them, but for the price, the basic service is hard to beat.

Trade in services and LDCs
The aim of increasing the participation of developing countries in services trade is enshrined in the preamble to the WTO's General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). At the Eighth Ministerial Conference in 2011, WTO members adopted a waiver to allow preferential treatment for services and service suppliers from least-developed countries. The 2013 Bali Ministerial Decision has established various steps to encourage WTO members to make use of this waiver.
GATS and LDCs — 1995
The preamble to the GATS states that the Agreement aims “to facilitate the increasing participation of developing countries in trade in services”. GATS Article IV takes this further by requiring WTO members to negotiate specific commitments relating to:
- strengthening the domestic services capacity of developing countries
- improving their access to distribution channels and information networks
- liberalizing market access in areas of export interest to these countries, giving “special priority” to least-developed countries (LDCs).
It states that these objectives are to be implemented through a process of progressive liberalization (Article XIX), taking into account national policy objectives and members' development levels, both overall and in individual sectors. In addition to receiving technical assistance from the WTO Secretariat, developing countries are therefore given flexibility to:
- open “fewer sectors” than those opened by developed countries
- liberalize fewer types of transactions
- extend market access in line with their development situation, including attaching access conditions aimed at achieving the objectives referred to in Article IV.
Article XIX requires members to establish for each round of services negotiations how they will provide special treatment for LDCs. These are known as “modalities”.
LDC services modalities — 2003
The modalities for the special treatment of LDCs in the services negotiations, adopted in September 2003, require members to provide “effective market access” in sectors and modes of supply of export interest to LDCs when making specific commitments. Wherever possible, members are requested to make commitments in “Mode 4” (individuals travelling from their own country to supply services in another). The modalities further stipulate that members should develop “appropriate mechanisms” to fully implement Article IV:3 and to facilitate the effective market access of LDC services and service suppliers to foreign markets.
Hong Kong Ministerial Conference — 2005
At the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference in 2005, members recognized the economic difficulties LDCs face and acknowledged that they are not expected to undertake new commitments in trade in services in the Doha Development Agenda.
LDC services waiver and its operationalization — 2011 onwards
At the ministerial meeting in July 2008, members decided that the special treatment for LDCs could be mostly assured through a waiver.
On 17 December 2011, the Geneva Ministerial Conference adopted WT/L/847, allowing WTO members to grant preferential treatment to services and service suppliers from LDC members. Preferential treatment related to market access (GATS Article XVI) can be implemented once a notification has been submitted to the Council for Trade in Services. Preferential treatment regarding any other measure is subject to approval by the Council. The LDC services waiver will remain in place for fifteen years from the date of its adoption.
According to the waiver, notifications must specify the preferential treatment, the sectors concerned and the timeframe for these preferences.
As no member made use of the LDC services waiver between 2011 and the Bali Ministerial Conference in December 2013, ministers adopted a decision on the “Operationalization of the Waiver Concerning Preferential Treatment to Services and Service Suppliers of Least developed countries” on 7 December 2013. The decision establishes various steps to encourage WTO members to make use of the waiver, and directs the Council for Trade in Services to convene a High-level meeting six months after LDCs submit a collective request identifying sectors and modes of particular export interest to them.
The LDC collective request was submitted on 21 July 2014 and a High-level meeting took place on 5 February 2015. At the meeting, over 25 developed and developing countries indicated sectors and modes of supply where they intend to provide preferential treatment to LDC services and service suppliers. More here.
Members agreed that delegations shall endeavour to notify preferences as early as possible, and no later than 31 July 2015. | <urn:uuid:2593b915-cd71-4f3a-885b-079a4a6ed90b> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/serv_e/ldc_mods_negs_e.htm | 2018-02-23T12:35:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891814700.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20180223115053-20180223135053-00461.warc.gz | en | 0.949588 | 895 |
A Kid was perched up on the top of a house, and looking down saw a Wolf passing under him. Immediately he began to revile and attack his enemy. “Murderer and thief,” he cried, “what do you here near honest folks’ houses? How dare you make an appearance where your vile deeds are known?”

The Woodman and the Serpent
One wintry day a Woodman was tramping home from his work when he saw something black lying on the snow. When he came closer he saw it was a Serpent to all appearance dead. But he took it up and put it in his bosom to warm while he hurried home. As soon as he got indoors he put the Serpent down on the hearth before the fire. The children watched it and saw it slowly come to life again. Then one of them stooped down to stroke it, but the Serpent raised its head and put out its fangs and was about to sting the child to death. So the Woodman seized his axe, and with one stroke cut the Serpent in two. “Ah,” said he,

In Yemen, these blameworthy were shot and hanged. These convicts, raped and killed, were first shot, they were hanged from a crane. The reason behind hanging from the crane was that individuals could see what punishment could be of this crime and create fear for people who think to do this crime. Before shooting, they were asked to sit on a sheet, and they were shot. At that point they were hanged to fear the criminals. The bullets were shot in the chest of these individuals that they do not survive in any condition. This punishment can be very disputed but people also think that this is the right punishment for this crime. This punishment started a debate again in many countries. These three charged raped the 10-year-old child Mosad Salah al-Mothana and after that they killed him. | <urn:uuid:a57e5c15-3803-44a3-9f94-dc8b6dcc8d9f> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | http://www.discussindia.in/rape-accused-got-shot-and-then-hanged-form-the-crane/ | 2019-01-24T02:06:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547584445118.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20190124014810-20190124040810-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.992766 | 220 |
Corral & Wodiska ,
1302 N 19th St
The 67,000 square foot, 4-story Corral & Wodiska Cigar factory was built, according to the property appraiser, in 1916. However, the sign at the top of the factory says 1928. In the 1980s, the company was bought out by another cigar manufacture who moved production to Honduras. The name “Bering”, Corral & Wodiska most famous brand of cigars, can still be seen on the side of the building. The building is currently office space, occupied by Granite Services, who previously shared the Stachelberg cigar factory with the Ybor Brewing Company. The photo below shows the workers and lector inside the Corral Wodiska factory in 1929. | <urn:uuid:61b1e12d-cb63-4f74-a61d-da8a7011b0f9> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.tampachanging.com/cigar/corral-wodiska/ | 2014-10-31T03:57:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637898844.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025818-00086-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949035 | 165 |

The aim of this study was to record corrosion behaviour of ZTA and ATZ ceramics under hydrothermal conditions and under influence of boiling acids. Ageing was performed for 30 h and for 100 h in an autoclave at 134 °C and at a pressure of 2 bar. The sample surface was characterised with the help of measurements of surface finish, strength and microhardness, as well as by means of determination of wetting angle of contact. Leaching behaviour was analysed by means of scanning electron micrographs and weightings. The results of all tests with ZTA and ATZ ceramics performed in connection with this survey showed positive results, i.e. neither acid treatment nor hydrothermal ageing resulted in significant changes of properties. | <urn:uuid:26360dfd-35f1-43a0-8026-fffe2d7f44f0> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.scientific.net/KEM.330-332.1227 | 2016-12-02T23:12:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698540698.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170900-00489-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970726 | 154 |
I first encountered mesclun at a charming inn near Saint-Paul-de-Vence, in one of the most breathtaking corners of Provence. We lunched at a sun-splashed table, caressed by the aromas wafting over from fields of lavender and wild thyme. Was that was made it so fabulous? When they brought out this simple salad, nothing could have tasted fresher, lighter, closer to the earth. For mesclun — which means ‘mixture’ in Provençal — is composed of new leaves, at least seven varieties, of the herbs and lettuce that grow naturally in the region.
Salade mesclun à l’huile de noix / Salad of mixed greens from Provence
Traditionally, mesclun is served with a dressing of extra-virgin olive oil with lemon and, sometimes, mustard. In this version, the olive oil is blended with walnut oil and balsamic vinegar to produce a deeply satisfying taste. Mesclun may be served as a first course — possibly with something beside it, like cured country ham or goat cheese bathed in olive oil and fresh thyme — or as a side dish, or after the meal and before the dessert. It deserves the freshest of bread alongside. Guaranteed to please.
Site news: Many thanks to all of you who have borne with me while I dealt with the hacking of this web site. As of today, I can report that the hackers have been expelled and the site is back to normal, with recipes appearing every Tuesday and Friday. It was a major hassle to get rid of the intruders, but I learned a lot. And now that it’s over, what can I say? Very, very relieved to be back to my usual role — of happily cooking. | <urn:uuid:8f7db6af-a70f-4abc-ac0d-643d12119c15> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://everydayfrenchchef.com/salade-mesclun-a-lhuile-de-noix/ | 2023-11-30T06:54:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100172.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130062948-20231130092948-00629.warc.gz | en | 0.959715 | 379 |
Plans for a “phased closure” of Fife College’s Priory Campus will be complete by the summer of 2016, it has been revealed.
The news confirms rumours that the Nairn Building, situated near Kirkcaldy Harbour could share a similar fate to nearby office buildings, which were recently put up for sale.
No matter which way you look at it, it’s an unwelcome announcementCllr Neil Crooks
The move has been branded “really bad news for Kirkcaldy” by Cllr Neil Crooks.
A Fife College spokesman said: “The first phase of our estate improvements for Kirkcaldy saw us move out of the Roundhouse and Priory House buildings before Christmas.
“Both buildings were no longer fit for purpose or financially viable, and staff and courses have been easily accommodated within our other campus buildings.
“We will continue to vacate the Priory Campus on a phased basis.”
The College said the Nairn building was no longer cost-effective and it was too costly to bring it up to standard.
A closure plan was expected to be complete by summer next year,
The Priory Campus, which can be accessed off Victoria Road, provides building trade, computing and business courses for students - no courses have been moved yet.
With Scottish Government investment announced last October, Fife College - which was created when Adam Smith College and Carnegie College merged in 2013 - is embarking on major expansion of its estates in other Fife locations.
A spokesman said: “The new campus for Dunfermline, planned for 2019, is a key element of our long-term plans for progressing opportunities for people in Fife and beyond. This investment builds on the exciting and innovative new integrated campus in Levenmouth, already in development in partnership with Fife Council which opens in summer 2016.”
On learning the news yesterday (Wednesday) Neil Crooks, chairman of Kirkcaldy Area Committee cited concerns for businesses in the East High Street area who depended on student trade.
“The further education provision in Kirkcaldy will obviously be affected and I will need to establish which current provision if any will no longer be provided in Kirkcaldy,” he said.
“I will be organising meetings with the College to discuss these proposals in some detail but no matter which way you look at it it’s an unwelcome announcement which needs further examination.” | <urn:uuid:0f70f2bc-afe1-4b0c-9d61-f25a079e8a5e> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/phased-closure-means-the-end-for-fife-college-campus-buildings-1-3716406 | 2017-08-20T15:24:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886106779.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170820150632-20170820170632-00641.warc.gz | en | 0.966409 | 519 |
You’re probably wondering where the L-Spot is. Some of you probably deny that it really exists and think that I just made it up. However I can assure you that it is real, it does exist, and if you can stimulate it correctly, your woman will look at you like she has never looked at you before. Once you start tapping the L-Spot just right, she will beg you to keep doing it. Forever. She will probably NOT tell her friends about you doing this. Those bitches can’t be trusted to not try and go behind her back knowing that you have this skill. It’s just that powerful.
I do have a small warning about the L-Spot though. Once you start working this area, you can’t later on decide that you’re going to stop working it. Once she gets L-Spot action, she is always going to remember that she was getting it, and now she isn’t, and that’s going to drive a wedge between you. The L-Spot is as I’ve said before, a smooth move on the woman. You can’t stop start stop start on this. You want to drive her crazy for you, not at you. It’s all or nothing, so be advised.
The L-Spot is so reliable; you can probably just spring it on her without warning, and watch her face light up with surprise and delight. It is somewhat stimulating though, so I really recommend making the bedroom area as low key and low-stimulation as possible. You don’t want to have her get over-stimulated and suddenly shut down on you halfway through.
To make the bedroom low-stimulation, it’s really just a case of a quick decluttering and making sure everything is clean. Strip the bedding off the bed and wash it, and do the same for any and all of your clothes that are lying around as well. If you’ve got an en suite bathroom, then you can wash the bath towels and mats as well. If you have white towels (which go with everything by the way), you can add a little bleach to the wash and that will whiten them a little more plus kill all the germs in the washing machine. I’d suggest for her stuff, that you just find her hamper and toss anything unwashed in there, many women get nervous about precise washing techniques and it’s probably best to not mess with that. Then just remake the bed, fold the clothes, hang the towels up.
Congratulations you just did the laundry… aka the L-Spot.
Ah come on don’t be mad, I do this sort of trick to my readers all the time. Stick with me though, I’ll explain why this is a vital sexy move. Do not knock this until you try it.
Now if you’ve actually not been helping out with the laundry ever, try and get this whole routine down while she is out of the house if you can. Just get it done and play it cool. Don’t follow her like a freaking toddler that just pooped in the right place all by themselves. Just be cool. It’s no big deal.
Ok maybe hover a little bit. Watching her face is half the fun LOL. I can guarantee you will get a positive reaction from her for this.
The point of this move is that this is a Beta Male trait and is one of many “Nest Management” tasks you can do. This isn’t going to make her pulse jack up, her nipples hard and her panties wet, but it is going to build comfort and relax and reduce her stress. You’re going to perform Alpha Trait moves to “turn her on”, this is to make sure you aren’t “turning her off”. If she thinks she is being abandoned by you to do all the “Nest Management”, her body will ensure that no more babies arrive to add to her workload. The way the body ensures this happens, is by cutting her sex drive off. No sex drive = no sex = no more babies = workload stays tolerable. It’s vital to understand that this is a hardwired response in her, she will not have a logical control over this, she will simply just look at you one day and realize that while she loves you, she is not in love with you.
Now if you’re a newlywed, maybe her doing your laundry made her feel giddy and silly… for about the first three weeks. After that… WTFINHFM. By the time the kids are here, the laundry starts to pile up in a battle that doesn’t end until they can fend for themselves. I don’t care how the domestic chores get divided up in your house, but I can assure you, if she is doing your laundry, she is feeling like she is being your mother. And your mother never wore lingerie for you, licked up every last drop of you, or arched her back while pulling you deep into her… At least I really hope your mother didn’t do that. My bad to anyone having a refreak experience.
Doing the laundry is just a basic life skill. It’s not really a male/female skill. Just grab a pile of laundry, shove it in the washer, push a button, transfer it to the dryer, push another button, fold the clothes. Bada Bing Bada Boom. You just worked the L-Spot. Don’t be a tool, you know she’s gonna love it.
So have a think about this… what do you want from your wife? Hot sex or folded clothes? Can you influence what you get from her? | <urn:uuid:fb5b50fc-b633-46bc-9fd3-71e5341c3aa7> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://marriedmansexlife.com/2010/02/work-the-l-spot-she-will-beg-you-for-more/ | 2015-09-01T01:51:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644068749.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025428-00105-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969096 | 1,222 |
April is National Financial Literacy Month and a perfect time to increase your financial literacy, while establishing and maintaining healthy money and finance habits.
One way you can become financially savvy is by getting advice from financial professionals. According to survey results from the Indexed Annuity Leadership Council, when seeking information or advice about finances and money, 42 percent of Americans turn to friends or family members, 41 percent rely on search engines, like Google, and only 39 percent ask a financial professional.
However, talking to a financial professional with the right knowledge can help ensure you are left with more answers than questions to help you achieve your long-term financial goals. To get the most out of your meeting and ensure a fiscally sound future, make sure to ask your financial professional these three questions.
1.How much of my income should I put toward my retirement savings? While the percentage of income that goes toward retirement savings varies from person to person, no matter how much income you make, it is important you are contributing something toward your retirement. Talk to your financial professional about your goals to assess an amount that works for you.
2. Is my portfolio diversified? Investing in your company’s 401(k) can be a great choice if your employer offers this type of retirement plan, but it is not the only option. Balancing your portfolio with options like fixed indexed annuities (FIAs) will help address many basic retirement concerns: protection of hard-earned dollars, tax-deferred growth, balance, and lifetime income.
3. Am I ready for retirement? According to a report from the Indexed Annuity Leadership Council, one in three Americans confess to stopping their retirement savings at least once. Ask your financial professional to examine your financial situation and evaluate if you are on track to meet your retirement goals. If not, see what adjustments you can make in your savings strategy to help foster financial security. | <urn:uuid:20b33326-fd8b-4abf-87b2-4a3e48953588> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.aacadianassurance.com/top-3-things-to-ask-your-financial-professional-during-financial-literacy-month/ | 2019-06-17T23:04:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998581.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617223249-20190618005249-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.945343 | 390 |
Daily updates have resumed for the 2020 Greenland melt season, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), based in Boulder, Colorado, announced last month. The open-access information is available for those interested on the NSIDC website for the April through October melt season. The Greenland Ice Sheet Today data collection contains daily, monthly, and annual melt areas for the Greenland Ice Sheet. The data is displayed as an interactive chart where users can select years to compare back to 1979.
The green plot line below represents the 2019 melt year. According to the NSIDC, melting on the Greenland ice sheet for 2019 was the seventh-highest since 1978, behind 2012, 2010, 2016, 2002, 2007, and 2011.
The Greenland ice sheet data is derived from passive microwave sensors, which project data onto a 25-kilometer equal-area grid. Ice monitoring gained a powerful new tool with the launch of ICESat-2 in the fall of 2018. The orbiter uses a laser altimeter to produce imagery with astounding resolution. According to NASA, “With 10,000 laser pulses per second, this fast-shooting laser technology allows ATLAS to take measurements every 28 inches along the satellite’s path.”
Greenland’s ice sheet lost 200 gigatons of ice per year from 2003-2019, mostly from coastal glaciers, due to warmer air and ocean temperatures. One glacier alone lost ~22 gt/yr.— NASA Ice (@NASA_ICE) April 30, 2020

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/24 November) – Newly-appointed Supreme Court Justice Mario Victor “Marvic” Leonen will inhibit from deliberations if the GPH-MILF Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) or the Executive Order creating the Transition Commission whose negotiations he steered towards the signing of the FAB on October 15, will be questioned at the Supreme Court.
“I will inhibit,” Leonen, then government peace panel (GPH) chair, told MindaNews at the Palace of the Golden Horses hotel in Kuala Lumpur on November 16, during a break from the negotiations. Leonen, however, maintained he is confident the FAB or the EO will pass the test of constitutionality.
Leonen’s appointment drew mixed reactions from the Bangsamoro themselves. MILF peace panel chair Mohagher Iqbal, who was still out of the country when the announcement was made, welcomed the appointment with a text message filled with exclamation points. “We welcome the appointment! My sincerest congratulations! He deserves it.”
Guiamel Alim of the Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society said he hopes Leonen “would not completely detach from the peace process. But he would go in history as champion for peace if he is in the peace talks through thick and thin to the end. After all , there is already a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel?”
Laisa Alamia, director of the Commission on Human Rights in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) commended Leonen’s appointment. “He has successfully steered the peace process forward He has a deep understanding and appreciation of the Moro context, a man of probity and integrity, and is one of the main factors were have reached this far in the Bangsmaoro question.”
MindaNews’ Carolyn O. Arguillas interviewed Leonen in Kuala Lumpur on November 16, on the scenarios in the peace talks with the MILF should he be appointed to the Supreme Court the following week.
Q: Where are we now?
A: Na-clarify yung common points and differences. Parties can therefore know what the decision points are on the annexes.
Q: But there seems to be a problem on wealth-sharing?
A: Sanay na ako dyan. May problema, may solusyon. All you need is get more mandate from each of the principals.
Q: So have you summoned all the angels and saints?
A: No need
Q: You sound so confident.
A: Because both sides are on problem-solving mode. They’ve set a mutual deadline. Things will find a way and the hard lines are not really hard lines unlike two years ago when the lines were really very difficult. We’re past the major issues. These are adjustments sa details.
Q: People are asking what happens if you get appointed? They want to know if you are going to stay on as panel chair?
A: No. It’s a different department of government. Besides, GPH it has aa minimum of 14 negotiators – five panel members and the technical working groups (TWGs). There were five of us plus two alternates from July 2010. Government is confident that nobody is indispensable, not even the chair. Di naman nagbabago yung principles, hindi naman nagbabago yung principals and more importantly, there is already a Framework Agreement.
Q: So this could really be your last as panel chair?
Q: Are you gonna be happy there?
A: Supreme Court?
Q: What if you are not named?
A: I was named by the JBC (Judicial and Bar Council)
Q: What if?
A: Eh di tuloy ako dito
Q: Where will you go after?
A: Babalik ako sa UP to teach
Q: So who will you recommend to take over your post?
A: (off the record)
Q: When you recommend, the President will
A: kanyang panel ito. I can only recommend. Tapos may vacancy pang isa.
Q: So who will be the new panel member?
A: Not yet pa sure pero may mga recommendees. But it’s not really certain until the announcement.
Q: Okay, you are identified with the Framework Agreement. One of the first questions that will be asked if you are named Justice is why leave it when it’s not yet done?
A: You have to look at the priorities. Una, can there be another chair? Replaceable ba ako? And the answer there is yes. Are we already set for the annexes? The answer is yes. Meron nang framework and progessing na yung drafts.
Q: Masyado kang optimistic sa progressing drafts mo.
A: Kelan ba ako nagging pessimistic? (laughs)
Q: Could it be because .. but you would know what’s happening there, right?
A: Alam ko but I choose to see it from the point of view that there are more consensus points than differences. Both parties have publicly and officially committed to finish by the end of the year. And the ground is stable and getting quiet and in fact the number of conflicts has been reduced, kahit yung non-MILF-GPH, yung mga rido. Di ba kumonti? Plus there’s a lot of goodwill plus spirit of volunteerism – homemade banners, peace advocates…. On the other hand… at heart abogado ako. At heart abogado ako. Yan yung aking profession. Nahila lang ako dito sa negotiaton
Q: Kasi nagpahila ka rin naman.
A: And naisip ko na maka-contribute. Di ko akalain it can really leap this way.
Q: I do remember that in April last year
A: Sabi ko one year lang ako
Q: In April last year, you said something like after you presented the proposal to the President, he said ‘this will be our legacy.’
A: This will be his legacy and also the legacy of (Al Haj) Murad (Ebrahim), the leadership of Murad.
Q: What did the negotiations teach you?
A: That there is still hope to do the right thing and doing the right thing can inspire others. Kaya ko nasabi yan, kasi malaking bagay yung kay PNoy na hindi lang perception kundi the reality that he is following as far as he could, the straight path. So that kind of trust can, siguro yung concept ng the mere leadership and good governance and what it can do, that things that were seemingly closed suddenly became open, the minds that were closed suddenly opened and that people reconsidered their positions
Q: I mean you, personally.
A: It taught me a lot of skills in dealing with different types of people like (MILF senior peace panel member Datu Michael) Mastura (laughs). It enhanced (my) ability to be able to bring a point through simply by listening to their perspectives. If you listen very closely, meron kang makikitang consensus.
Q: You were more identified with the Lumads (indigenous peoples) before you were named GPH peace panel chair two years ago.
A: Yes. Two years. I had to do my research. I had to learn very quickly. The history of this entire struggle, the context with the MNLF, the context with the MILF. Binasa ko si Salah Jubair (pseudonym of MILF peace panel chair Iqbal). Then whatever morsel of information I could find on (MILF chair Al Haj) Murad (Ebrahim). I engaged all intelligence agencies to get a clearer picture of who we are engaging with, I studied Islam and understood its basic tenets and I looked at al the materials dito sa negotiations starting from the first day .
Q: Anong picture mo noon? You come from the north di ba? When you were growing up, what was the Moro like for you?
A: I understood that there was a different culture deserving of autonomy and self governance. Kasi sa Cordillera din, autonomy yung calls dati. Tapos my father worked very closely with the Igorot kaya I understood about differences in culture
Q: So wala ka nung bias usually associated
A: Wala. I don’t believe that it was there. Kasi maraming sinasabi tungkol the Igorots but I knew different people who were from that ethnicity. I grew up in that environment
Q: So let’s fast forward. Nov. 22 your name or even before that, you become Associate Justice. If the EO is issued and it is questioned before the Supreme Court, will you inhibit?
A: I will inhibit. But I am fairly confident that a lot of the lawyers within the peace process especially the panel and OPAPP, understand the legal grounding of the Framework Agreement. As a matter of fact, ngayon, maraming nagsasalita about the Framework Agreement (like GPH lawyers) Joe Lorena, Jo Wahab, Hamid Barra.
Q: What if history will repeat itself? Kasi it happened in 1996 na within two years dapat, na-pass yung law that would have expanded the ARMM pero hindi natuloy yun. It took Congress so long that’s also why (MNLF chair Nur) Misuari sat there (after his three-year term as ARMM Governor) on holdover capacity. Paano kung ganon uli ang mangyari? May precedent na and it could really happen again.
A: Una siempre, sasabihin ko that will not happen that way considering the people in government are different, the actuations now of government are very different from the actuations of government after the final peace agreement with the MNLF. Nothing is done unilaterally now, everything is done with consultations with the partner in the Framework Agreement. Second, it’s no longer only the responsibility of the panel that negotiated the agreement. Most especially it is not only the responsibility of the chair, kasi once the agreement is there, the Framework Agreement and the annexes, the implementation is going to be public. It’s government and the MILF. From the publication of the Framework Agreement, it became public, it was owned by the public. Tapos the responsibility of the negotiating groups are simply to develop enough foresight to be able to put in provisions to assist in the implementation after the agreement is signed. But it is not the responsibility to deal with learnings from the implementation. Sa experience of the implementors, the different points of view that will come out and it is that spirit of goodwill in a peace agreement that will build on
Q: But goodwill is not enough. What if in the next Congress, government can’t muster enough of the required number of votes?
A: Kasi it’s not only the responsibility of the President but also the public response to the Framework Agreement. Unexpectedly, the response to the Framework Agreement is overwhelmingly in favor of the approach. Iqbal said in his opening statement that this is an “amazing agreement,” that it is an agreement that is the best possible and it is amazing. So malaki yung public trasnparency. People seem to not want it to fail and from what I saw doon sa signing, it seems na lahat naman
Q: Kasi wala pang annexes non. Pag lumabas yun..
A: Pag lumabas yung annexes, the public debate will be clearer but the same conditions will app;y. I mean it will not be unconstitutional
Q. You are very sure of that?
A. As sure as I can give a legal opinion. As sure as I can read the opnions of the Supreme Court and predict how it will act. As sure as many lawyers can attest, tapos it will be reasonable and pragmatic and it will address the Bangsamoro problem from the point of view of those that signed it for the MILF.
Q. Seriously, can government get the numbers in Congress? Congress will go on recess in December.
A: It will be the 16th Congresst that will deliver the Bangsamoro Basic Law.
Q: I am referring to the EO. Mahahabol ba nila before the December break?
A: It’s congressional resolution stating the sentiment of the House supportive of the EO creating a Transition Commission
Q. We’re not exactly rid of the spoilers, right?
A: No, no. So the possibility of filing something in the Supreme Court is always there
Q. What will they file?
A: I don’t know. Bahala sila kung anong angle…. So far the arguments coming out of the columnists are not viable. …. The process in fact is very constitutional. That’s how you pass an organic act. On the ministerial form of government, Fr. (Joaquin) Bernas himself says he has no problems with that in the context of Section 15 to 21 (of Article X of the 1987 Constitution)
Q: How do you entrench the Bangsamoro?
A: It’s already entrenched. As far as government is concerned, it’s already entrenched , sufficient to have a Bangsamoro Basic Law. Sa point of view
Q: But ARMM is existing and ARMM has to be
Q: But you can only abolish it with
A: By another law with a plebiscite. Pagkatapos ng plebiscite , the ARMM will no longer exist. What will be (in place) will be the Bangsamoro. Of course, in the process, the ideas that were presented at the negotiating table were simply those of the negotiations kaya there was agreement that the Transitory Commission may raise the possibility of Constitutional amendment pero proposed lang. Walang commitment ng government that it will pass. The commitment of government that it will be acted upon depends on its value… It’s the same power given to any citizen or any group of citizens.
Q: Okay, let’s grant it is really constitutional. Will we be able to follow the timetable? You’re talking about this as legacy, right? That’s also how Ramos viewed (the 1996 peace pact)
A: Ang pagkakaiba, this one will be implemented. . Ramos had two years before his exit as President. This agreement is on the second year of PNoy 2012. May mid-term election in between so there’s four years to try to achieve it. Pag sinimulate mo yung timeline, doable sya eh. Let us say Transition Commission is one year, even less. Bangsamoro Basic Law by 2013 or early 2014 – one year in Congress, mahaba na yan. Tapos yung plebiscite. Tapos kung pumasa, yung Bangsamoro Transition Authority until 2016.
Q. Did your daughter finally ask you about the signing?
A: Huli nyang tanong last night was “when are you coming home?” Tapos nung sinabi kong meron pang mga annexes, she said, “I thought it was finished” (laughs)
Q: What about the TWG on Normalization? Paano matatapos yan eh kakaumpisa pa lang?
A: We will finish because surprisingly may consensus.
Q: On the normalization? Really?
A: It is not how many commentators see na mahirapan kasi either may armas sila or wala pero yung negotiations, mas open-ended yung pag-uusap
Q. When you’re telling me surprisingly maraming consensus points you are referring to the document na?
A: The approaches are the same.
Q: But the three TWGs have different styles, right?
A: May common. At the end of the day, they produce text.
Q: Oo nga but the approach is different
A: Depends on the issues. Halimbawa sa wealth-sharing. Di ka pwedeng makapag-umpisa unless meron kang background sa numbers. Like how much does the ARMM actually collect? How much does it need to operate. Para lang maliwanag
Q. Di pa pinag-usapan na yan?
A: It’s continuation for power-sharing and wealth-sharing . They already had initial meetings tapos may common points, may points of differences. At some point they decide to write it down. .. Basta may common points. Kasi ang daming papers eh. Ang approach of this entire negotiaitons, alam mo na may patututunguhan. Both parties are able to identify ano yung common points, then isolate the differences and then work on the differences.
Q. USec (Chito) Gascon said the language of the negotiations has moved from contentious to unresolved to further study
A: Kasi both parties, from the very beginning, kami ni Sir Iqbal (agreed) this is not the normal negotiation that is adversarial, na we’re trying to gauge each other’s sincerity. This is after the Framework Agreement so this is now trying to solve the problems of the details at ang benchmarks ditto, una, Framework Agreement, pangalawa what can we actually deliver – both sides — what are we ready to deliver based on the annexes? Also part of the Framework is, whatever is negotiated here is not final or forever. I mean subject for later on merong adjustments na by law, ganyan, so nothing is really that permanent. What is needed now is
Q: You principal was talking about the devil in the details but you were talking about angels.
A: Angel naman talaga eh. Angel in the details. That metaphor is more appropriate. Kasi yung pag hinahanap mo yung makakasira sa details, ibang… better to look at it as engaging the other side, see what solutions you can commonly come up with. Kaya angel in the details.
Q. In some aspects, you need to summon more angels or saints. Have you summoned all of them?
A: No need. No need for now.
Q: Kailangan mo pa more angels.
A: More prayers siguro. Pero tingin ko, gusto nung dalawang sides mag-decide na yung mga principals. Lalo na yung nagne-negotiate. So hahanap ng solusyon yan.
Q: What did you do after the signing? Did you go on vacation?
A: We gave our lives to the Communications group. The President said we need to respond to whatever , whether positive or negative. Also, literally, after the press conference (after the signing on October 15), we were summoned to the Office of the President. Di kami pinauwi. We sat with President and some Cabinet members to strategize on how to deliver.
Q: Ilang oras?
A: Siguro umuwi ako mga 8 (p.m.; the signing ended at around 3:15 p.m.). Brainstorming session on how to deliver. . the President giving a lot of guidance. Siguro ang impression ko doon, the President is very much aware of the kind of leadership that this will require in order to push this through. Kaya ako confident there will be delivery.
Q: So kailan ka nagbakasyon?
A. Hindi pa. Kasi deretso kami Spain. Tuloy-tuloy na meetings.
Q. Are we ending this round tomorrow (Nov. 17)?
Q: Pag andyan na and annexes, signing ulit?
A: Ano tawag niya eh. Ang tawag ko dyan, comprehensive peace pact. The Framework Agreement plus the annexes.
Q: Is it going to be grander than the grand signing in Malacanang?
A: Di pa pinag-usapan. Focus muna on the annexes. What I understand is there will be signing. The panels will not functus officio. They will continue serving. (Carolyn O.

I cannot begin to fathom how the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Bill once again failed to pass in the Senate! No one can look at a sonogram image and deny the presence of a life, a human life, a unique and separate being. Only an individual with a seared conscience and a heart of stone could have voted to continue legally and lethally injecting and dismembering highly developed, viable or near-viable fetuses.
In 2013, when the bill was first raised, I posted an article in which one commentator for Salon, Mary Elizabeth Williams, shared her belief that “life starts at conception” but she added, “that hasn’t stopped me one iota from being pro-choice… Here’s the complicated reality in which we live: All life is not equal. That’s a difficult thing for liberals like me to talk about, lest we wind up looking like death-panel-loving, kill-your-grandma-and-your-precious-baby storm troopers. Yet a fetus can be a human life without having the same rights as the woman in whose body it resides. She’s the boss. Her life and what is right for her circumstances and her health should automatically trump the rights of the non-autonomous entity inside of her. Always…the fetus is indeed a life. A life worth sacrificing.” I was reminded of Orwell’s Animal Farm here: All are equal, but some are more equal than others. A seared conscience. A heart of stone. Only a culture of death and deeply imbedded selfishness could support such cruelty, such an abomination! God help us!
Here is the article from 2013: https://donnafghailson.com/?s=seared+conscience
A dear and much respected friend Charmaine Yoest, who once headed Americans United for Life, had the words of Thomas Jefferson, scripted in large letters on her wall: “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government.” Charmaine’s conclusion: “You lose true north if you can’t defend innocent human life.”
Following is a video of Sen. Ben Sasse’s (R. Neb.) motion to proceed with S. 2311, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Bill. Please take the time to listen to his words. I cannot understand how 46 human beings could have failed to be moved by his impassioned plea that 20-week old unborn babies–having been carried by their mothers for five months–might receive legal protection against abortion.
Sasse said, in part: “We all oooh and aaah over sonogram pictures of children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews — even sonogram pictures from a stranger on a bus or plane. We all look at those pictures and we love. We don’t have to be taught or conditioned to love. We don’t love because of economics. We don’t love because of politics. We love because they’re babies. You don’t need me to explain something that we’ve all experienced. But we should note that this love is backed with facts. The science is clear. No one seriously disputes that that little girl in that image is alive. We all know and understand that that little baby in that sonogram image is a unique and separate being.”
Sasse asked of his colleagues as they prepared to take the vote on the Senate floor: “Where will we draw the line? Have our hearts grown cold to truth? Beauty and compassion can stir our hearts. Science and facts still confirm the truth. These beautiful lives deserve our protection.” Forty-six Democrats and two Republicans would fail to draw the line.
“Two-thirds of Americans support a 20-week abortion ban, including more than half of Democrats and more than half of self-described pro-choice Americans. Though the Pain-Capable bill didn’t pass, the vote forced pro-abortion Democrats [and two Republicans] to show Americans how out of touch they continue to be on the question of human life — even as science and technology prove them wrong.” [Source: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/455883/abortion-ban-senate-vote-fails-pass-pain-capable-unborn-child-protection-act%5D

Departments of 1)Cardiovascular Surgery and 2)Cardiology, Nagano Children’s Hospital, Nagano, Japan
Background: Surgical strategies for mixed-type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) are still controversial because of its various patterns of abnormal pulmonary venous (PV) connection.
Purpose: In our institute, the surgical strategy for mixed-type TAPVC is correction of the major anomalous PV connection without correction of the minor anomalous PV. In this study we evaluated the behavior of the residual minor anomalous PV after operation.
Patients and methods: Eight patients with mixed-type TAPVC underwent intracardiac repair. Subtotal correction was performed for 7 patients and total correction for one patient. For evaluation of postoperative hemodynamic changes, cardiac catheterization, ultrasonic echocardiography, and chest X-ray were performed in all patients.
Results: In the early postoperative state, occlusion of a residual PV connection was observed in four cases without any pulmonary congestion or respiratory and hemodynamic disorder. Increased residual PV flow was observed in two cases of major PV orifice stenosis, and correction of the residual PV connection was required in these cases. In one case of total correction, additional abnormal PV drainage was found at the time of postoperative cardiac catheterization. Postoperative right ventricular (RV) pressure and RV end-systolic volume showed 34±4 mmHg and 134±15% of normal, respectively. The postoperative cardiothoracic ratio showed 52±4%.
Conclusion: In subtotal surgical correction of mixed-type TAPVC, major PV orifice stenosis progression may induce the acceleration of residual minor anomalous PV blood flow. Thus, in cases where anastomotic stenosis is observed, residual PV connection should be corrected. | <urn:uuid:6b3c6b01-6beb-46de-b109-76710ecf1e8c> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://jspccs.jp/english/publication/journals/backnumber/e2601/e2601078/ | 2021-10-18T09:47:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585201.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018093606-20211018123606-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.861191 | 474 |
Today, the new Firmware Update 1.70 came out for the PlayStation 4 and added a ton of new features and that’s why it was the biggest update yet. Some of the new features are HD Streaming option on Twitch, the ability to save videos from your streams to your selected destination, side bar chat, etc but after downloading the update, many fans have been facing some issues.
A Reddit user posts a thread reporting a Black Screen bug that occurs when he deactivated the HDCP. The user said, “After playing around with a BF4 clip for a few minutes, and being quite impressed I realised I couldn’t hear any sound. So I backed out, went to Amazon to quickly play some TV to check that sound was working (quicker than loading a game, or so I thought) and went straight to a black screen. Despite numerous reboots, I’ve since been unable to connect directly from PS4–>HDMI–>TV. I just get the black screen. My Vita Remote Play showed the PS4 normally, and whenever I’ve hit Amazon since it’s said to Enable HDCP (makes sense).”
This user isn’t the only one who is facing this issue. Another Reddit user reported a similar issue, “Ever since I updated my ps4 has been flickering like crazy, even when not attached to my elgato capture card. It seems like once I turn HDCP off, it blinks like a mad man, and won’t stop til I turn it back on.. really confused and disappointed about this.”
Another Reddit user had a different issue. It wasn’t related to the display, instead his PlayStation 4 could not recognize his 500 GB external HDDs. A few PlayStation 4 owners have encountered another issue where their group chat closes as soon as they start playing a game.
Aside from the new issues the new Firmware update cause, it also fixed a few bugs such as the bug which corrupts your downloads when you start watching a videos on an app. This bug has been fixed and now you can simultaneously watch videos while downloading a game, or whatever you want, in the background. This patch also fixed the Trophy Sync bug so now PlayStation 4 owners will not encounter any issues while syncing their trophies.
Hopefully Sony will fix the display issues soon. We will keep you updated on the matter. | <urn:uuid:1432161b-3df2-4f8d-a128-b674d04c5836> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://gearnuke.com/new-playstation-4-firmware-update-1-7-causes-flickering-black-screen/ | 2018-04-26T09:45:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125948125.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180426090041-20180426110041-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.961022 | 497 |

Things To Remember When Buying With San Antonio Real Estate Investors
With the current economy downturn profit can be garnered by purchasing real estate through San Antonio real estate investors while property values are lowered. In a sense, homes, commercial space and land are one of the few investments that one can be guaranteed will not remain diminished in value long term. The reality is there is only so much land to purchase. If you buy some now, someone will have to buy it from you in the future.
When you want to buy a home and you have the credit, the job and the necessary funds, usually there are no good reasons to postpone the purchase. In some cases for example, when you are new to the area, your job is not secure enough or you are getting married in the near future, you might consider putting off the purchase.
If you are trying to find a realtor to buy or sell your home, be sure to interview them. The realtor is going to be your employee and you will be paying him or her several thousands of dollars. Make sure that they will do an adequate job for the money that they will be paid.
Most of the people have a hard time saving money. Buying a house and regularly making the mortgage payment is a great way to save. A portion of each payment goes towards paying off the principal of the house. In the beginning it is not too much, but later a larger portion of the payment goes towards the principal, which increases the equity of the property.
Chose a real estate agent that is dedicated to working for you. A good Realtor should be available before, during and after a sale. Ask the Realtor for references before making a decision. This person will be your eyes and ears in this process so make sure they are someone you can trust to stick with you.
One important tip when it comes to real estate, is to make sure that you keep a detailed journal of everything that you do throughout the process. This is important as either the buyer or the seller, because it will help to ensure that not only do you know how well you are accomplishing your goals, but will also be a good record in case you need proof, if an unforeseen circumstance arises.
If you find a house that you really love, do not make an offer that is too low. Some sellers are not willing to negotiate if they become insulted by a low-ball offer. A realtor is the best person to make an offer on your behalf. They will know what is fair to offer for it, and likely will not offend the seller.
An important tip to remember with real estate purchasing is to try to increase your credit score as much as possible before applying for a loan. This is important because your credit score directly effects your A.P.R., which can result in the savings or losses of thousands of dollars. Anything from checking for errors on your report, to ensuring that you aren’t carrying a high balance on any individual credit card, will help to bring your score up.
Getting pre-approved can help put you on the path to buying a new home in a shorter amount of time. If you skip this step and try to secure financing after you have found the perfect place to live, you may lose the chance to get the property. Your offer won’t be considered until you have a pre-approval notice. That means someone else could buy the home before your offer even gets looked at.
If you are struggling with financing to buy a new home, be creative. There are many ways beyond the standard 30-year, 20%-down mortgage to get financing for your home. Be sure to mention to your lender if you are a first-time homebuyer, as there may be programs available to you that way, as well.
If you are trying to purchase a home, but aren’t sure if you can afford it, keep your eyes open for vacant real estate. Vacant homes are general indicators that the previous owners are ready to sell. The longer the home sits empty, the more motivated the owners are to sell.
Purchasing real estate resembles dating sometimes. In other words, the first choice may not be the best for you and your family. Have a keen eye and be sure to hold off on purchasing anything that doesn’t make your heart flutter. Prices of homes may be at the cheapest they’ve ever been, but you should still make sure that you are a discerning customer!
It is clear that buying real estate can be a wise investment choice with a high profit margin if you are willing to have patience and/or take calculated risks. Land is a fixed commodity. Mark Twain had it right when he said to “buy land”, its one of the best ways to secure a profitable future. | <urn:uuid:0ffabdbd-314b-401c-b989-02ac4a772d85> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | http://www.centrallabourcourt.org/things-to-remember-when-buying-with-san-antonio-real-estate-investors/ | 2022-11-29T07:11:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710690.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20221129064123-20221129094123-00289.warc.gz | en | 0.968127 | 987 |

Car seat shopping. Easy right? Is it buggery. It is hard graft looking for the perfect car seat. You have hundreds of options from dozens of different brands. It can be a thankless task. Let me set a little scenario for you.
You may have penciled in new car seat shopping for this weekend. Alternatively you may have woken up, rolled over to your other half and informed them that Little Shirley or Little Jimmy needs a new car seat and thus spontaneously created your plans for the day. If it’s pre-planned or spontaneous, heading into any retailer who sells a car seat without having done the leg work (research) is a dangerous game. You will be met by lots of options and you will probably leave without purchasing a seat, nursing a hangover headache created without the night before fun and have the desire to swing by the solicitors to pick up some divorce papers. Little Jimmy / little Shirley won’t leave happy either, as they probably won’t have behaved in a manner which justifies giving them the chocolate they cried for all the time you were lifting car seats on and off shelves and fastening them in and out of.
So with that in mind, and as I am a generous soul who likes to share his helpful tips and worldly experience, I will make your life easier, save your marriage and help your little one get jacked up on chocolate. For below is a review for the car seat that you will purchase after reading the words that I have written. You probably won’t even have to leave your house because you will be so convinced you will order online by clicking here.
Lets crack on.
Can my kid get a ticket to ride?
Absolutely providing your child weighs in at between 9kg to 36kg, or approx 9 months to 12 years in age terms. The Hubbub is a group 1,2,3 car seat meaning it grows with your child and does it without any fuss or removal of any big lumpy bits. The headrest has 6 positions which are easy to move between thanks to a little click and pull action, whilst the 2 part reversible seat liner offers a supportive snuggle. When we were setting up for Flo, who is almost 4, it was easy peasy to get the positioning just right and when I interrogated her she reported, free of duress, that she was very comfy and snug.
Will they be able to twist and shout?
Every child appears to have this little Houdini side to them wear they can wiggle free from a seemingly impossible situation with brazen disregard for the safety and their parents heart health. Your child’s days of slipping those arms out of their car seat are over, as long as they are sitting in this car seat that is, thanks to the Brand New Cosatto Anti-Escape System that the Hubbub is fitted with. I asked Flo to try and break free and she didn’t manage it and she wiggles her way out of many a situation. I had made sure it was all nice a snug around her before asking her to escape. She also advised me that she was happy and it did not feel to tight which was comforting. My experience of other car seats we have had, is that she has been uncomfortable when all buckled up. This then creates the problem of hearing a child shout at you for the duration of your journey that the car seat is too tight. So the anti-escape system also saves you from that little nightmare. So whilst they will be able to shout at you about other things being uncomfortable in their car seat will not be on of them.
We are blessed with two beautiful children, two parental cars, two sets of grandparents who also own their own grandparent taxi’s and not enough financial clout to buy car seats for all. As a result we do a lot of car seat juggling. The Hubbub is a car seat jugglers dream. Unlike some car seats, it is not cumbersome or oddly shaped, meaning your back and paintwork remain intact. The universal ISOFIX allows you to click in and go, no seatbelts, no stress. You also get a lot of ISOFIX bar to play with and it stay’s nice and sturdy meaning you are not left trying to battle the ISOFIX system whilst hunting for the bar hidden under the car seat.
Every little thing
As well as the major features above, and the side impact protection, its the little extra touches that make the Hubbub a stand out car seat. There is a top tether anchor strap which gives that added little bit of security. The quick release harness button means you want be battling to set your offspring free. It comes with really convenient storage pockets to hide the straps whilst not compromising the look. The comfy seat liners can be removed easily to wash, and it also features very comfy padded arm rests. All these allow your little one to ride in safety and comfort.
Mailman, bring me no more blues
Let’s face it the mailman usually brings us rubbish, boring nonsense. Well that won’t be the case when he delivers your Hubbub car seat. For when you take delivery and crack open the box, you will be met by vibrant colour, exciting your eyes and stimulating your pleasure center. Unlike it’s competitors, the Hubbub screams creativity, excitement and zest for life. Cosatto bring their personality to this bad boy, as they do with all their baby products, and it is a joy to behold. You have 6 looks to chose from. All colourful, all beautiful, all rejecting dullness. We have the magic unicorn look to match the double pram we have. Catching a glimpse of this colourful little number in my rear view mirror whilst ensuring Flo is still alive is a pleasant little treat on my eyes and brings a smile to my face.
Money (That’s what I want)
The business end. The bit that probably gets you nervous. Will you have to remortgage the house to buy the Hubbub? At £194.95 it falls on the good side of £200. When you consider how long your sprog can use the car seat for you are looking at approximately £16 a year. Not bad. You also get a 4 year guarantee, which you cannot shake your head at.
From me to you
In summation, this car seat has and does everything you would hope for from a car seat. It is packed with excellent safety features. It is comfortable. It is easily washable. It grows with your child. It is well priced. It is also full of personality and brings a bit of fun and happiness. And we can all do with more of that.

In Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis sets out to gather up “the contributions of the two recent synods on the family.” He describes the interventions at the synods by bishops from all over the world as “a multifaceted gem reflecting many legitimate concerns and honest questions.” Seeking to do justice to this plethora of local concerns and questions, he relies heavily on the final Relationes produced by both the 2014 and 2015 synods, and even cites occasionally the results of the pre-synod surveys of the laity. He also cites ten different episcopal conference documents on marriage and family, eight from the global South. The resulting document steers, mostly successfully, between an “immoderate desire for total change without sufficient reflection or grounding” and “an attitude that would solve everything by applying general rules or deriving undue conclusions from particular theological considerations.”
This apostolic exhortation is long, sometimes tough going, more often inspiring, and bound to disappoint a wide range of readers. Humanae Vitae, for example, is cited a few times and reaffirmed, but the question of artificial contraception, and the seeming sensus fidei regarding it, is neither reemphasized nor revisited. Presuming Gospel teaching on the indissolubility of marriage, the exhortation refuses to offer any new set of general canonical rules on marriage or on Communion for Catholics in irregular canonical situations. Francis acknowledges “constructive elements” in the unions of those who are divorced and remarried without annulment, and the inadequacy of describing Catholics in such unions simply as “excommunicated” or living in sin. At the same time, he fails to explore the theological questions concerning how such people might participate in what St. Augustine described as the “goods of marriage.” These relationships cannot simply be reducible to sin, but how the church, by analogy with its perspective on other faiths at Vatican II, might recognize and affirm what is good and true in them is left unanswered. Most bitterly disappointing to many, though certainly not all, American readers will be the exhortation’s failure to address the same questions regarding gay and lesbian unions. Nor does the document explore pressing theological questions about the role of LGBT people in God’s created order or about why the church cannot recognize same-sex unions as marriages.
That said, Francis’s primarily concern is neither doctrine nor theology. Rather, he’s trying to start a pastoral revolution among the bishops, clergy, and people of the Catholic Church. If his two papal predecessors were about clarity and definition in tumultuous times, Francis wants to send missionary disciples out beyond the church’s boundaries, clearly marked out over the past thirty-five years, to ecclesial peripheries where those in difficult marriage situations live. He insists all the while that Jesus’s ideal of indissoluble marriage never be watered down. Instead of a smaller, purer church, however, he offers an “invitation to mercy and the pastoral discernment of those situations that fall short of what the Lord demands of us.” If this document has a signature phrase, it is the Ignatian-sounding “pastoral discernment,” a form of accompaniment in which pastoral care for families is a fundamentally missionary going forth.
Throughout this document Francis speaks in his own recognizable, and now familiar, voice. This comes across most clearly in Chapter 8, titled “Accompanying, Discerning, and Integrating Weakness.” “I understand,” Francis writes, “those who prefer a more rigorous pastoral care which leaves no room for confusion. But I sincerely believe that Jesus wants a church attentive to the goodness which the Holy Spirit sows in the midst of human weakness.” In preceding chapters, Francis urges on the church “a healthy dose of self-criticism” for “excessive idealization” that at times proposes “a far too abstract and almost artificial theological ideal of marriage, far removed from the concrete situations and practical possibilities of real families.” Amoris Laetitia clears a space for pastorally attending to those situations and possibilities.
Pope St. John Paul II, who appointed Bergoglio a bishop in 1992 and was later canonized by him in 2014, hovers over this text. Of the 391 notes, almost 50 are from John Paul’s. Francis relies strongly on the late pope’s instructions from the early 1980s that became the basis for the theology of the body, and on Familiaris Consortio, his 1981 post-synod Apostolic Exhortation on the family. In discussions surrounding the two recent synods, however, voices opposed to the sort of pastoral discernment Francis urges in Amoris Laetitia appealed frequently to theological developments of John Paul II’s theology of marriage. I’m thinking specifically of strong ontological readings of language in Ephesians 5:21-32 that compares the relation of Christ and the church to that of husband and wife. Despite his obvious reliance on John Paul II’s theology of marriage, Francis is careful to distance himself from such readings, making clear that, although legitimate possible interpretations of Scripture, they are not to be equated with the teaching of the church. Theologically speaking, Francis’s treatment of Ephesians 5 and its marriage metaphor is one of the most striking aspects of this document.
Absent from Chapter 1’s survey of families in the Bible, Ephesians 5 appears first in Chapter 3, in an extended quote from the Relatio of the 2014 synod. Redeemed in Christ, marriage and the family have been “restored to the image of the Holy Trinity … the spousal covenant, originating in creation and revealed in the history of salvation takes on its full meaning in Christ and his church.” Beginning with a citation from Familiaris Consortio, the marriage analogy of Ephesians 5 is treated at length.
The lyrical Chapter 4 on “Love in Marriage” returns again to the marriage imagery of Ephesians 5, in Francis’s language, as the “icon of God’s love for us.” The sacrament imparts a “proper mission” to married couples, so that, “starting with the simple ordinary things of life they can make visible the love with which Christ loves the church and continues to give his life for her.” There follows what I take to be the most theologically important passage in this document: “We should not however confuse different levels: there is no need to lay upon two limited persons the tremendous burden of having to reproduce perfectly the union existing between Christ and his Church, for marriage as a sign entails ‘a dynamic process …, one which advances gradually with the progressive integration of the gifts of God.’”
The last line of this quotation is from Familiaris Consortio and makes the appeal to “gradualism,” a key to Francis’s pastoral discernment. He goes on to attribute the “so-called ‘law of gradualness’” to John Paul II with extensive citations from Familiaris Consortio. With reference to constant growth in mutual love over time, he writes: “Marital love is not defended primarily by presenting indissolubility as a duty, or by repeating doctrine, but by helping us to grow ever stronger under the impulse of grace.” And again: “It is not helpful to dream of an idyllic and perfect love needing no stimulus to grow.”
Francis begins the exhortation with his strange-sounding claim that, in thinking about families, “time is greater than space.” He takes that to mean that “not all discussions of doctrinal, moral or pastoral issues need to be settled by interventions of the magisterium” and that “every general principle … needs to be inculturated.” He concludes with a moving meditation on families as they pass gradually through time. “Our contemplation of the fulfillment which we have yet to attain,” he writes, “also allows us to see in proper perspective this historical journey which we make as families …. It also keeps us from judging harshly those who live in situations of frailty.” Chapter 6 on Pastoral Perspectives gives lyrical expression to this sense of time’s priority, describing each marriage as “a kind of salvation history.”
If Pope John Paul II was the philosopher pope and Pope Benedict XVI the theologian pope extraordinaire, Pope Francis is the poet pope, an urban gaucho from Buenos Aires, giving voice to the dreams and wisdom of migrants and the poor and displaced. Though it will not satisfy everyone, Amoris Laetitia offers an extraordinary set of reflections on marriage, various parts of which will serve audiences as diverse as engaged couples, husbands and wives, pastoral workers, bishops, and theologians. Neither “dry and lifeless doctrine” nor “dead stones to be hurled at others,” Francis’s words about family life ring true, making his advocacy for scriptural ideals of marriage all the more attractive. I have been married for forty-five years. Chapter 4’s meditation on St. Paul’s hymn to love in 1 Corinthians 13 moved me deeply. Despite its length, time spent with Amoris Laetitia is time well spent. | <urn:uuid:bd99972e-5504-487e-b27f-f57e9a034bc7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/poet-popes-pastoral-discernment?tid=72 | 2022-08-17T11:28:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572898.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817092402-20220817122402-00568.warc.gz | en | 0.952847 | 1,985 |

Oil prices climbed Thursday, marking their second-highest settlement so far this month. Data from the Energy Information Administration Wednesday showing a bigger-than-expected decline in U.S. crude supplies continued to provide support ahead of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries' meeting on May 25. "We expect the next two weeks to be traded on a lot of rhetoric and headlines ahead of the crucial production decision," said John Macaluso, an analyst at Tyche Capital Advisors. June WTI crude rose 50 cents, or 1.1%, to settle at $47.83 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after rallying by 3.2% on Wednesday.

United States District Court, W.D. Washington, Seattle
ADRIENNE M. WOODY, Plaintiff,
CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION RE: SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY APPEAL
MARY ALICE THEILER, Chief Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Adrienne M. Woody proceeds through counsel in her appeal of a final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (Commissioner). The Commissioner denied plaintiff's applications for Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) after a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Having considered the ALJ's decision, the administrative record (AR), and all memoranda, the Court recommends that this matter be REMANDED for an award of benefits.
FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Plaintiff was born on XXXX, 1968. She has a high school education and some community college. She has past relevant work as a home attendant, general clerk, labor-stores, case aid, and telephone operator. (AR 31.)
Plaintiff filed an application for DIB and SSI benefits on July 2, 2010, alleging disability beginning January 3, 2010. She is insured for DIB through September 30, 2010. (AR 22.) Plaintiff's applications were denied at the initial level and on reconsideration. Plaintiff timely requested a hearing.
On November 29, 2012, ALJ Rebekah Ross held a hearing, taking testimony from plaintiff and a vocational expert. (AR 376-424.) On December 26, 2012, the ALJ issued a decision finding plaintiff not disabled from January 3, 2010 through the present. (AR 20-32.)
Plaintiff timely appealed. The Appeals Council denied plaintiff's request for review on April 11, 2014 (AR 4-7), making the ALJ's decision the final decision of the Commissioner. Plaintiff appealed this final decision of the Commissioner to this Court.
The Court has jurisdiction to review the ALJ's decision pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
The Commissioner follows a five-step sequential evaluation process for determining whether a claimant is disabled. See 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1520, 416.920 (2000). At step one, it must be determined whether the claimant is gainfully employed. The ALJ found plaintiff had not engaged in substantial gainful activity since the alleged onset date. At step two, it must be determined whether a claimant suffers from a severe impairment. The ALJ found plaintiff's osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, diabetes mellitus, major depressive disorder, bi-polar disorder, social anxiety disorder, and cognitive disorder not otherwise specified severe. Step three asks whether a claimant's impairments meet or equal a listed impairment. The ALJ found that plaintiff's impairments did not meet or equal the criteria of a listed impairment.
If a claimant's impairments do not meet or equal a listing, the Commissioner must assess residual functional capacity (RFC) and determine at step four whether the claimant has demonstrated an inability to perform past relevant work. The ALJ found plaintiff able to perform light work as defined in 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1567(b) and 416.967(b) subject to limitations. She can occasionally climb, balance, and stoop, but never kneel, crouch, and crawl. She can never climb ropes, ladders, or scaffolds and must avoid concentrated exposure to vibrations and hazards such as machinery and heights. She is limited to unskilled work with simple repetitive tasks and can tolerate only rare changes in the work setting. She can have no interaction with the public and only occasional, superficial interaction with coworkers. She is limited to tasks involving dealing with things rather than people. With that assessment, the ALJ found plaintiff unable to perform her past relevant work.
If a claimant demonstrates an inability to perform past relevant work, the burden shifts to the Commissioner to demonstrate at step five that the claimant retains the capacity to make an adjustment to work that exists in significant levels in the national economy. With the assistance of a vocational expert, the ALJ found plaintiff capable of performing other jobs, such as small products assembler, inspector/hand packager, and garment holder.
This Court's review of the ALJ's decision is limited to whether the decision is in accordance with the law and the findings supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole. See Penny v. Sullivan, 2 F.3d 953, 956 (9th Cir. 1993). Substantial evidence means more than a scintilla, but less than a preponderance; it means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. Magallanes v. Bowen, 881 F.2d 747, 750 (9th Cir. 1989). If there is more than one rational interpretation, ... | <urn:uuid:2cdcb6a5-5a09-44cd-a14a-4d57e644d80b> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://wa.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.20141118_0002456.WWA.htm/qx | 2017-03-29T03:12:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218190181.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212950-00370-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926049 | 1,030 |

DENISON, TX -- According to bullyingstatistics.org, one out of four kids are bullied every month in the U.S, and 160,000 kids miss school each day for the fear of being bullied.
Morgan Downing tells us about Two Denison middle school girls who have fallen into those statistics, and how they are making a change.
These two Denison middle school girls are victims of bullying.
"I've been bullied before and it's not fun because, and then everyone starts making fun of you and they think it's funny but it's not. It really hurts," Makayla Madden said.
"I've been bullied and I see other people getting bullied and it's not cool but people think it is," Serena Cuellar said.
"It hurts a lot of people, not just the person you're bullying," Madden said.
Serena Cuellar and Makayla Madden decided they needed to take a stand and make a change. So, they began "Walk Away from Bullying" Their mission: raise awareness and put a stop to the mistreatment that occurs every day.
"We had just thought that if one, if two people can stand up for someone, or even one person that we can make a difference," Cuellar said.
On Sunday, dozens took the pledge to walk away from bullying. Makayla and Serena led the group more than a mile around Waterloo Lake in Denison. Supportive messages and smiling faces signify this is just the beginning for the girls and their new mission.
"It makes me feel glad that people care about, that people care and they support us through things," Cuellar said.
The girls hope their organization will not only help end bullying but let people know that if they're victims, talk about it with others.
"It doesn't matter what other people think about them. That it just matters that they know that it's not true and that they can always talk to a friend or counselor or teacher. Cause sometimes it's easier to talk to kids than adults." Cuellar said. | <urn:uuid:8dfbdca8-fe53-4558-b88e-fd62a8e825eb> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.kxii.com/home/headlines/Young-girls-raise-awareness-against-bullying-170913541.html | 2017-06-23T14:01:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320063.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623133357-20170623153357-00448.warc.gz | en | 0.980207 | 431 |

Through the wind, up the hills
Ryan Summerlin June 21, 2007
Beaver Creek – Team Catlin a force once again in Race Across America
There’s no manual on how to celebrate after winning a non-stop cross-coutry bike race.
But the boys from Beaver Creek, perennial champions of the Race Across America, know how to embrace the Atlantic Ocean.
“We went to the beach and had our usual body surfing world championships,” said Jimi Mortenson, part of the four-man winning squad Beaver Creek – Team Catlin in this year’s RAAM.
Monday at around 10 a.m., Mortenson, Mike Janelle, Nat Ross and Zach Bingham crossed the finish line in 5 hours, 18 hours and 22 minutes to claim their second consecutive championship.
This year’s 3,044-mile race proved to be a lot closer than last year’s for Beaver Creek (In 2006, Beaver Creek bested all teams, including an eight-man squad). Team Psycho, a first year squad, nipped at Beaver Creek’s heels through the Midwest.
“For three days in a row it was between a minute,” Janelle said. “They’d get close, and we had to go so hard (to keep the lead). It was crazy.”
In the late stages of the race, thanks to some mountain climbs, Beaver Creek pulled away to earn a 3 hour, 26 minute win over Team Psycho.
After taking their crew out to dinner, Beaver Creek went to watch some video of the race then passed out ” for more than half a day.
“I slept 15 hours,” Janelle said, noting that it was about the amount he’d slept the entire race.
Tuesday, with the team and support crew en route back west, the racers took turns driving the RV, and sleeping.
For even the most seasoned RAAM veterans, there’s just about nothing you can do to prepare for what is an amazing human feat.
“It would be almost stupid to,” Janelle said.
During the race, Beaver Creek split into two teams ” Janelle and Ross; Mortenson and Bingham ” and switched on and off for about three to three-and-a-half hours during the day. At night, the two teams split up the darkness, each going for five hours.
When the pair were “on duty” they rotated pedaling hard for about five miles.
“You feel like throwing up all the time,” Bingham said. “When you’re riding, you don’t talk to anyone. You put in as much effort as you can. You ride like it’s your last five miles.”
After their shift, the team members went back to the RV, ate, got massages and sleep. Experience paid off, physically and mentally.
“We all know our bodies and know our race and that we can recover better,” Janelle said. “We know we can go as hard as we can all the time and can recover, where other teams may be a little scared to put it out there.”
Riding so hard for so long gives bikers a different kind of soreness. They may be sore the first few days, but their bodies accustom to it. A few days after the race, they are still feeling some fatigue, however.
“The first year I did it, I didn’t sleep at all the fist night,” Ross said. “It destroyed my riding for the rest of June.”
This year, Ross played it a bit smarter, but still predicts he’ll be feeling the race for a while.
“I don’t snore and Mike doesn’t snore, but we’ll be snoring for the next two weeks,” Ross said.
Shortly after talking about his future snoring, Ross was fast asleep in the RV.
The four riders are less than a quarter of the total group of Beaver Creek – Team Catlin that goes from coast to coast. (In the past, the team was known at Beaver Creek-Vail, but Catlin hopped on as a title sponsor this year.)
Alex Yellen was the team’s crew director, managing all 15 people helping the riders.
“He was an NBC flimer and got assigned to us (years ago), and all of a sudden we had him working for us,” Bingham said.
Along with an RV, the team had two vans and tons of equipment, including a high-definition camera. This year, the team taped a good chunk of the ride and will combined footage from years past to make a DVD of the race. They’re excited about when they’ll debut the film, as they’ll get a chance to share their experiences with all those who have supported them, and get to see what happened when they were sleeping.
While each year has brought a new set of memories, this time brought in a new record. Mortenson became the first RAAM rider to pull in four wins. Ross and Janelle are at three, while Bingham ” the logistics planner who took over for past planner and racer Adam Palmer ” has two.
What may be even more impressive than the number of wins is that the Beaver Creek legacy in a more than 3000-mile bike race is filled with guys who ride mountain bikes.
“I think as far as what mountain biking has to do with it, we just really have fun riding our bikes and that helps a lot,” Mortenson said. “The other team we were going against were really, really fit athletes and they were pretty experienced time trial racers, which helped them a lot on the flat roads in Kansas and they caught up.
“They were bigger and heavier … we were talking about how our guys are 150 pound and it’s like throwing a whiffle ball into the wind. The other guys were stockier and heavier, and it was like throwing a golf ball into the wind.”
But the mountain bikers had a big advantage when it came to switching riders.
“We like to carry all of our momentum down the road into the next person,” Bingham said. “Some were afraid to have that much contact.”
And the lighter Beaver Creek – Team Catlin squad also moved away from the competition on the hill climbs.
“It was 2,8000 miles of flats for the mountains,” Bingham joked.
One record this year’s team hoped to break was the overall time and speed record. Because of early headwinds, they knew it would be nearly impossible to break the record.
“It was disappointing to look at your average speed coming into Colorado, and know you were already too far behind,” Ross said.
Still, the weather was favorable for the most part, with only a little rain and some high temperatures through the desert, and the bikers had very little to complain about.
“You run though areas like (tornado-ravaged) Greensville, Kansas and you realize how lucky you are to still be riding on a bike,” Ross said
And the team, which lost rider Brett Malin during the race in 2003 when he was hit by a semitruck, made sure to keep alive the memory of their fallen friend.
“We have all these 425 stickers we made,” Mortenson said. “That’s been our team number ever since. Whenever we do a transition on the road, we put a 425 sticker on the guardrail. We’ve got some places where there are stickers on top of each other … each year, whenever we see one, it brings back all those memories.”

I am very glad to be here to celebrate with you the covenant between you and Mike as you begin your ministry here together. Today feels like a homecoming of sorts for me since I began my own ordained ministry 38 years ago, just an hour up the road from here in Northwest York County, Maine.
I was privileged to worship with you this morning, and inspired and humbled by the atmosphere of worship here in this congregation. As we like to say, “We had church today!”
I was also impressed and gratified to discern the obvious affection you already have for Mike and his family after just a few months in life together.
This afternoon I want to think aloud with you about what shape your ministry together might take in the years ahead. I was at a meeting with Mike about a month ago, and we all went around the room and introduced ourselves, and Mike introduced himself as the Pastor and Teacher of the First Parish Church in Dover, New Hampshire. Mike knows that I like that title better than senior minister, first of all because it has a nice old fashioned New England feel about it, but more importantly, it better defines the role of minister as I see it. And understanding the role properly will go far in Mike and you succeeding as pastor and people.
So let me say, first of all, what ministry is not. Ministry is not a commodity. Unfortunately, the search and call process does commodify ministry for both pastor and congregation, and perhaps it has to, but it is a very bad model for ministry.
The very term “installation” further confuses the matter. It occurs to me that the word installation sounds as if what we are doing this afternoon is plugging in a major appliance! And to add to the metaphor, a little later in this service Mike will get not one, but two charges. Let’s be playful with the image of installation for a minute. I picture a giant cardboard box arriving at the front door. In my imagination the appliance store delivery guys look something like the cartoon characters on the old Dire Straits video, “Money for Nothing:” big burly guys in sleeveless T-shirts with visible tattoos, chomping on the butt-ends of cigars. “Where do you want it?” they ask. “How ’bout right over here by the outlet so it can get a charge. It’s a beauty, isn’t it? much more efficient than the old one, and with many new features. Here’s the operating manual. It comes with a one year warranty.” Just about the time of your annual meeting. You get the idea!
I suggest that we regard that little flight of imagination as a cautionary tale for ministry. Because in contemporary America we tend to think of everything as a commodity, which then can be bought and sold. So it is a temptation for churches to think of their new minister as the new and improved model. And equally tempting for ministers to buy into that expectation. Who doesn’t like to be thought of as valuable and more worthy than others?
I caution you not accept that image. Mike is a gifted pastor, smart, well trained, well read, committed, personable and resourceful. But he is not a major appliance! It is precisely because of his vast talents, which make him especially vulnerable to being perceived, and perceiving himself, as a valuable ministerial commodity. And, like most temptations, there is just enough truth in it to give it appeal. For in fact, from a human point of view, Mike is a valuable ministerial commodity, in an age where both the supply and morale of talented clergy are low.
So how shall we think of the role of minister, of pastor and teacher? In the Fourth Chapter of Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians he tells the church how to regard his ministry among them: “Think of us in this way, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.” The word translated as “servant” here is peculiar to Paul in the New Testament, and, in the common tongue, it was the name given to slaves on a galley ship. I just saw the movie version of Les Miserables, and I picture the shackled convicts in the opening scene who are pulling a great ship into a slip to be like the galley slaves of Paul’s time. It is a harsh metaphor, or it would be except the master in this case is Jesus Christ.
The second of Paul’s images, and the one I want to focus on today is “steward.” We know this word from Stewardship Sunday, when we pledge our time, talent and treasure; or at least we do when we understand stewardship at its best and not at its worst as a dreary fund raising project.
A steward quite simply was a household servant, a sort of house manager, who looked after things for the master.
What’s Paul’s point in employing this humble job description? Paul was dealing with an early version of the cult of the preacher and the commodifying of ministry. That was the pagan way, as it still is. Preaching was all about skill in rhetoric, reading your audience, moving them, engaging them, entertaining them! And there was competition to see who did it best. So some liked Paul, some liked another itinerant preacher named Apollos, and some liked Cephas, which is just another name for Peter.
Paul rejects this cult of the preacher as unworthy of a Christian community. He himself, he writes them, “did not come proclaiming the mystery of God . . . in lofty words of wisdom.” No, he said, “I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” (1Corinthians 2:1,2)
The good steward doesn’t have to please the crowds, only the Lord, who will ask for an accounting when he comes “to bring to light the things now hidden in darkness.” (1 Corinthians 4:5) That is the only judgment that counts for the minister of God.
But what exactly is it to which the steward has been entrusted? “The mysteries of God.” The NIV calls them “the secret things of God.” Here’s our first hint about the proper role for a pastor and teacher. As Mike and I know a minister can spend inordinate amounts of time in meetings, making plans, reviewing budgets, and managing all matter of things that none of us ever dreamed about or wanted when we received the call to ministry. So be it, it goes with the territory. These are duties of ministry, but not the role of minister, and it is dangerous to confuse duties with role.
The role of a pastor and teacher is to be a faithful house manager of the divine mysteries, a steward of the mysteries of God. And what are the mysteries of God?
Paul says that the divine mysteries are quite simply the Gospel, the good news of God’s vast love for us in Jesus Christ.
This good news tells us that whoever we are, whatever we have done, wherever we have been, wherever we are going, God’s love will not let us go. This love is as deep as the ocean, as fierce as the cross, as powerful as the resurrection, and as forever as time and beyond time.
The Good News about this love, Paul says, was once hidden but is now revealed by the Spirit, which is a good word for this Epiphany Sunday.
Let us think of the many glorious aspects of this Gospel as the secret things of God, secret in that they are not apparent to the eyes of the world, but only to the eyes of faith.
Now we are at the heart of the role. For it is the pastor and teacher’s responsibility to keep the eyes of the congregation on the horizon of eternity, rather than on the wearying preoccupations of the world. The steward of the mysteries reminds us again and again that the church is not our project, but God’s project. This is not easy. The cult of the preacher is easier and more fun. The cult of the preacher lets us assign success and blame depending how the numbers go. Every pastor is pleased when the numbers, members and money, look good, but the smart ones know they don’t control them. Unlike me, Mike with his economics background, actually understands numbers, and he’ll tend to that part of the job, but again that is a duty and not a role.
Too many clergy and congregations today are focused on the numbers, how much money and how many people. It’s a great temptation, and it can be deadly for a church because if the pastor is not a servant of Christ and a steward of the mysteries of God, then the congregation may get disconnected from the Gospel, and lose its way. It happens! And when it happens you may find yourself doggedly presiding over a frenetic activism that is all movement and no substance, what P.T. Forsyth once called the besetting sin of the church: “the sin of bustle.”
Too much of what passes for religion is not about what God is doing among us, but what we are doing ourselves. In this regard we have absorbed from the culture the misguided utopianism that thinks humans can control all things. The Czech dissident poet Vaclav Havel called modern utopianism
an arrogant attempt by human reason to plan life. But it is not possible to force life to conform to some abstract blueprint. Life is something unfathomable, ever-changing, mysterious, and every attempt to confine it within an artificial, abstract structure inevitably ends up homogenizing, regimenting, standardizing and destroying life, as well as curtailing everything that projects beyond, overflows or falls outside the abstract project. What is a concentration camp, after all, but an attempt by utopians to dispose of those elements which do not fit in.” (Interview in Times Literary Supplement)
A steward of the mysteries of God looks for height and depth as well as movement. What might that look like here in Dover? Part of your role, Mike, is to keep the church in Dover a place where God’s story is not an ancient tale, but a present vibrant reality; a place to expect miracles, because the world is full of them for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. There are divine presences in every mundane transaction, and daily epiphanies around every corner. Keep that sense alive here. Gerard Manley Hopkins was right when he wrote, “The world is charged with the grandeur of God.”
A steward of the mysteries of God believes that all things are possible when God is involved, and helps others to believe it too. And when people believe God’s Spirit and power are among them, who knows what might happen? Do you remember Thomas Merton’s comment about a Shaker chair? “The peculiar grace of a Shaker chair is due to the fact that it was made by someone capable of believing that an angel might come and sit on it.” (From the Introduction to Religion in Wood by Edward Deming and Faith Andrews, 1966.)
The other piece of the role of pastor and teacher is the context: the congregation and its life together. Mike is gifted in this regard with a great deal of personal authenticity, warmth and humanity.
Are there any homiletic teachers in the congregation today? No, good, because I want to break a rule? Oh, what do I care, I am retired!? So I’m going to be personal and confessional and say that I met Mike about ten years ago during a particularly difficult time in my life, as I was struggling with the challenges of a new disability. Mike’s response to me was so empathic and tender without being in any way condescending. No one has been a better friend to me these last years, no one, and you are and will be blessed to have him as your pastor.
Mike embodies what the great preacher Gardner Taylor was after when he advised preachers “to look beyond the peripheral signs of preaching greatness to the real source of pastoral insight–the common bond with one’s hearers provided by suffering.” If you let him, Mike will share your lives, will rejoice when you rejoice and weep when you weep, and become your pastor. Gardner Taylor continues:
Now you may tickle people’s fancies, but you will never preach to their hearts, until at some place, some solemn appointment has fallen upon your own life, and you have wept bitter tears, and gone to your own Gethsemene and climbed your own Calvary. That is where power is.’ The power of preaching is “not in the tone of voice. It is not in the eloquence of the preacher. It is not in the gracefulness of the gestures. It is not in the magnificence of the congregation. It is in a heart broken, and put together by the eternal God.
In conclusion, despite the fact that we are “installing” him today your new pastor and teacher is not a major appliance, neither is he a ministerial commodity, nor a quick fix or a paid Christian so everybody else doesn’t have to be one. No, Michael Steven Bennett is a minister of Christ’s church, a servant of Christ and a steward of God’s mysteries.
Mike, if you accept that role you will find that it will be shaped by the cross more that by the judgments and expectations of people. But the only judgment that really matters is the one whose ministry it is anyway. Those who remember their identity and their role as steward, who anticipate the return of the master, look forward to hearing the master’s praise: “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your Lord.” Amen.

Habari gani, I’m Muthoni Njuguna from Nairobi, Kenya. I’ve just completed my Masters of Research (MRes.) in Biodiversity, Evolution and Conservation at the University College London (UCL). My specialization is in rangeland ecology having worked in the Maasai Mara at various capacities and with various organizations such as WWF-Kenya. Most of my work has been on optimizing the Human-Wildlife-Livestock interface to reduce Human-Wildlife conflict, engage more women and children in conservation, improve the resilience and climate change adaptation of pastoral communities as well as preserve rangeland health, trend and biodiversity to ensure sustainable resource use.
Interesting thing about me is that in the course of my field work, I had to run from a charging bull elephant (Key lesson: always stay alert and keep fit so that you can outrun an elephant in the wild... haha). The incident, however, did not stop me from investigating the effects of anthropogenic and livestock pressures on wild herbivores in the Mara using camera trap data as part of my 2nd MRes. project. I joined WildHub to be part of a community that shares in my passion and to increase conservation optimism which will inspire more change across the globe. I’m happy to chat and connect both on this platform and via email; email@example.com | <urn:uuid:95ce1e44-5430-4429-8a8e-214b8223dbf1> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://wildhub.community/posts/greetings-from-kenya | 2024-03-04T15:03:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476452.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20240304133241-20240304163241-00841.warc.gz | en | 0.929379 | 293 |
Botanical Name : Gigartina stellata
Species: Mastocarpus stellatus
Synonym: Mastocarpus stellatus
Habitat: Chondrus crispus is common all around the shores of Ireland and Great Britain and can also be found along the coast of Europe including Iceland, the Faroe Islands western Baltic Sea to southern Spain. It is found on the Atlantic coasts of Canada and recorded from California in the United States to Japan. However, any distribution outside the Northern Atlantic needs to be verified. There are also other species of the same genus in the Pacific Ocean, for example, C. ocellatus Holmes, C. nipponicus Yendo, C. yendoi Yamada et Mikami, C. pinnulatus (Harvey) Okamura and C. armatus (Harvey) Yamada et Mikami
Chondrus crispus is a relatively small red alga, reaching up to a little over than 20 cm in length. It grows from a discoid holdfast and branches four or five times in a dichotomous, fan-like manner. The morphology is highly variable, especially the broadness of the thalli. The branches are 2–15 mm broad, firm in texture and dark reddish brown in color bleaching to yellowish in sunlight. The gametophytes (see below) often show a blue iridescence at the tip of the fronds and fertile sporophytes show a spotty pattern. Mastocarpus stellatus (Stackhouse) Guiry is a similar species which can be readily distinguished by its strongly channelled and often somewhat twisted thallus. The cystocarpic plants of Mastocarpus show reproductive papillae[clarification needed] quite distinctively different from Chondrus. When washed and sun-dried for preservation, it has a yellowish, translucent, horn-like aspect and consistency.
Because of its mucus forming properties, carrageenan has been used in lung diseases and to improve bitter drug taste. Carrageenan has also been used in cases of digestive tract irritations and in diarrhea and dysentery. In France and Great Britain, carrageenan has been used to treat stomach ulcers due to its mucous properties. When used against ulcers, the body has no necessity to gastrointestinally absorb carrageenan, so that carrageenan acts directly on the mucous surface. Codfish liver oil emulsions have been prepared with carrageenans. Cotton-wood soaked in carrageenan decoction has been used as cataplasm.
Medicinally it is useful in chest and bronchial infections, as well as in the treatment of stomach ulcers and diseases of the bladder and kidneys. A syrup to combat coughs and colds can be made by adding ? cup of rinsed carragheen moss and the thinly pared rind and juice of 2 lemons to 6 cups of water. Boil the mixture for 10 minutes, add a dessertspoonful of honey and simmer for a further 10 minutes before straining. Serve the syrup hot or cold.
It is collected in Ireland and Scotland, together with Chondrus crispus as Irish moss, dried, and sold for cooking and as the basis for a drink reputed to ward off colds and flu.

Last week, Armenian prog-metal champs System of a Down invited all of America to what's sure to be one of 2005's heaviest social gatherings — a strictly "B.Y.O.B." affair called Mezmerize — and nearly half a million hungry rock fans turned out for the party.
With Mezmerize — the band's first studio offering in nearly three years — the Serj Tankian-fronted collective earns the second chart-topping debut of its decade-long career, according to the latest SoundScan figures. Just under 453,000 copies of the band's eclectic, hard-hitting fourth disc soared off record-store shelves during the album's first week of retail availability, making it System's biggest debut to date; 2001's Toxicity netted first-week scans of 222,000 plus, taking Billboard's #1 for that week.
Mezmerize isn't the year's strongest rock debut (last week, the Dave Matthews Band's Stand Up sold close to 465,000), but it's only the first of two releases System have planned to roll out in 2005. The band's latest is considered half of a double album called Mezmerize/ Hypnotize; the second part is slated for a fall debut.
More than 283,000 students enrolled in Honkytonk University this week, snapping up copies of country star Toby Keith's latest disc — which helped score him the chart's #2 spot. Holding on to the chart's third-place post for a third straight week is the new one from pop diva Mariah Carey, The Emancipation of Mimi, which achieved a week-six showing of 173,000 and change.
Last week's #1, the Dave Matthews Band's Stand Up, slips to #4 on the chart, with second-week scans of close to 158,000, reflecting a 66 percent decline in retail strength. Debuting at #5 is Nashville-born, Detroit-based R&B artist Kem and his newest collection of studio tracks, Album II. That record moved more than 140,000 copies during its first week at retail, robbing this season's "American Idol" finalists of a top-five debut. The latest "Idol" compilation, Season 4: The Showstoppers, comes in at #6 with almost 83,000 copies scanned.
Rapper 50 Cent's The Massacre continues on its path to 4 million sold, ranking at #7 with close to 81,500 scans. No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani's solo debut, Love, Angel, Music, Baby, slips one to #8 after 26 weeks at retail. Weezer's Make Believe slides seven spots to #9, with second-week sales of 75,000 plus.
From out of nowhere, a blast from the past checks in at #10. Def Leppard's double-disc hits collection Rock of Ages netted first-week scans of close to 66,000, making it one of the week's biggest surprises. Right behind Def Lep is the new one from Brooklyn, New York, rapper Memphis Bleek, 534, which sold over 60,000 copies to close out its first week at #11, just in front of Nine Inch Nails' With Teeth, which grabs the #12 spot with close to 57,000 scans.
Rob Thomas' solo album, Something to Be, clings to the top 20, securing a #13 spot with 55,000 copies scanned during its fifth week in stores. "American Idol" alum Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway — which continues to drum up retail interest after 25 weeks on the chart — experienced a 20 percent sales thrust this past week, earning the pop star the chart's #14 slot with more than 54,000 sold. Rounding out the top 15 is Loco Motive, the debut disc from Cowboy Troy, whose sound blends elements of country with hip-hop. The record sold just over 51,000, outperforming sultry R&B songstress Natalie's self-titled debut by less than 100 copies, relegating her to the chart's #16.
You Mean They're Still Making Records?
Limp Bizkit's latest offering, The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1), continues its gradual slide down Billboard's chart, sinking this week to #111 from last week's #82. The seven-track release from Fred Durst's rap-rock soldiers sold just under 9,000 copies, for a three-week total of (gulp) 58,000 and then some (see "Limp Bizkit: What Happened?"). Perhaps the release of the Insane Clown Posse's The Calm, which debuts at #32, hurt Bizkit sales this week; that disc sold close to 31,000.
Rock Newbies Faring Well
It's a good time to be a twentysomething rocker with a grudge. Take Fall Out Boy — their new record, From Under the Cork clings to the top 50 at #49, with third-week sales of 21,000 plus. Then there's My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, which continues to be one of the chart's most solid performers. The album experienced a 6 percent sales increase this week and takes #60 with 17,000-plus scans.
The self-titled debut from New York's the Bravery shot up 35 chart positions to #92, thanks to a 34 percent spike in retail interest. The album sold more than 10,000 copies during its eighth week on the charts. At #109 is the latest from Hawthorne Heights, The Silence in Black and White, which experienced a 35 percent sales increase — perhaps due to the popularity of the band's latest video, for the song "Ohio Is for Lovers." That album sold just under 9,000 copies.
May The Sales Force Be With You
The same week that the saga-ending "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith," was released, the film's orchestral soundtrack experienced a slight rise in sales — though it falls three chart positions to #28. The John Williams-composed movie music sold more than 38,000 copies in its third week of release. Most impressive. | <urn:uuid:35dd1031-979c-4bea-a964-ea3ba63b2d31> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://www.mtv.com/news/1502898/system-of-a-down-top-billboard-with-mezmerize/ | 2019-02-21T01:35:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247497858.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20190221010932-20190221032932-00370.warc.gz | en | 0.93459 | 1,288 |
Aspen Mountain has long been known as the playpen of the rich and famous – and it is. But it is also a great place to take a family ski vacation. Christmas in Aspen is especially wonderful! Aspen Mountain rises above the town of Aspen, with a top elevation of 11215 feet and a vertical drop of 3269 feet. There are 76 trails suitable for beginners, intermediates, and experts, accessible by eight lifts, including seven chair lifts and one cable car line.
While Aspen, Colorado has much to offer skiers, as well as those who enjoy the night life in a ski town, you should expect lots of crowds and lift lines on the slopes. Again, this is the playpen of the rich and famous, and many people choose this ski vacation spot simply for that reason – as well as for the great runs and nightlife.
There are numerous places to stay in and around Aspen, with more than 100 restaurants to choose from as well. Ski instructions and equipment rental are abundant in the area, and snowboarders are welcome. | <urn:uuid:69fcd22b-14fa-49bb-9f2d-0b46b4e41357> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.thehotelreservations.com/ski-vacations/aspen-ski-vacations-2/ | 2019-11-21T22:05:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670987.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121204227-20191121232227-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.978342 | 219 |

Are the Brookyln Nets favorites to win NBA Championship?
The Brooklyn Nets have been on a tear ever since acquiring James Harden from the Houston Rockets. Their Championship odds have shot way up, now sitting right behind the Los Angeles Lakers as favorites to win it all this year.
The latest odds from Odds Shark has the Lakers listed at +260, while the Nets are listed at +275. That means a $100 bet would win you $260, and $275, respectively.
Do you think the Nets will dethrone the Lakers and win it all? If so, what does this do for Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden rookie cards?
If you are following the market at all, Kevin Durant's rookie cards have recently shot up in prices, with his 2007 Topps Chrome Rookie Refractor, PSA 10 selling for $49,400! Though Kyrie Irving's and James Harden's cards are both seeing an uptick, I believe there is room for their cards to appreciate in value. They both are a great buy in my opinion. If the PSA 10s are out of your price range, go for PSA 9s. PSA 9s are usually right behind with the same growth as PSA 10s.
Also, Kyrie's and KD's first year Brooklyn Nets cards are relatively cheap, and may be a great buy right now as well. I would target the Prizm update cards
(from Chronicles), Mosaic, and Optic from 2019-20 sets.
What does this do for Laker's cards? If the Lakers don't repeat, will Lebron's cards decrease in value? I don't believe so. Lebron James has cemented his legacy, and once he retires, his values will only rise. They may dip a little, but a Finals loss won't do much to his value.

A handsome Japanese heirloom. Single headed, sturdy 5-6′ tall plants. Great for cutting, remember to cut the head right before they open. Uniformly shaped 10-12″ heads. If left in the garden to full maturity, you will be rewarded with an abundance of edible seeds that can be roasted. Blooms starting at 70 days.
Sunflowers are sun worshipers that grow best in spots that get six to eight hours of direct sun per day. They have long tap roots that need to go several feet into the ground. So sunflower plants prefer loose, well-drained, somewhat alkaline soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5. Sunflowers are heavy feeders, so they’ll be healthiest and generate the most blooms in nutrient-rich soil that has had compost or other organic matter mixed into it. Growing sunflowers in pots is possible if you choose a smaller variety, like “Short Stuff” or “Teddy Bear.” Be sure the pot is deep enough to accommodate their tap root. Otherwise, a gust of wind could tip them over.
Preserving And Storing Taiyo
If you’re saving the seeds to re-plant, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until you are ready to plant. Label the container with the variety and the date you harvested. The seed will last for years if stored this way. Allow the seeds to dry for several hours or overnight before storing
Taiyo Sunflower Uses
Taiyo sunflower is valuable from an economic as well as from an ornamental point of view. The leaves are used as fodder, the flowers yield a yellow dye, and the seeds contain oil and are used for food. The sweet yellow oil obtained by compression of the seeds is considered equal to olive or almond oil for table use. Sunflower oil cake is used for stock and poultry feeding.
Sunflower seeds come from the large flower heads of the sunflower plant. The edible variety has a mild, nutty flavor. Sunflower seeds are excellent sources of several nutrients — including vitamin E and selenium — and beneficial plant compounds that can help prevent chronic diseases. Sunflower seeds contain nutrients and plant compounds that help reduce your risk of inflammation, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

I’m such an idiot. This is not a plea for ego stroking: this is a confession.
Today, I’m standing with 4 people in a small room at church. One woman, who was recently asked to teach music to the children, wanted to know about the woman who plays the piano for the children. I said that the pianist is one of the nicest people I know. But. Oh, the ‘but’. She doesn’t really play well. She’s fine for practice, but she’s not very good, certainly not good enough for performance. The new music leader complained a bit and said that she’d ask for a new pianist because she’s used to having good accompaniment. I replied that this might be something she just has to learn to work with and maybe the pianist will start practicing more because I didn’t know if she actually practiced much.
And several hours later I realized that one of the four people in the very small, very quiet room was (drum roll) the pianist’s father-in-law.
Someone should glue my mouth shut.
The thing is, I know better than to say anything negative about people. I know to shut up if I can’t make it all nice. I could defend myself by saying that the music leader needs to know what she’s working with, but in reality, there is no defense. Here I am, teaching children to be more Christ-like, and I sit around gossiping about someone who is doing a very difficult job, without pay, all because someone asked her to. She didn’t request the job. She didn’t try to sell herself. She just agreed, cheerfully, to sit behind a piano while 60 rowdy children learn songs which they may or may not decide to sing.
Sure, this is a learning moment. I’ve learned that I will never learn, and the family of the pianist can learn to forgive.
Maybe I’ll become a hermit. Hermits don’t have to work with other people. They also don’t have to shower, so I’m well on my way there. | <urn:uuid:e87c6823-9d58-4d1d-96dd-f68112b99977> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://bigbahamamama.blogspot.com/2009/11/talkie.html | 2017-07-27T22:29:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549429548.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170727222533-20170728002533-00461.warc.gz | en | 0.979843 | 471 |

AIDS nightmare looms in Indonesia's Papua
( 2003-09-16 15:11) (Agencies)
Tucking into bowls of meatball soup and sipping tea, the nine teenage girls look like friends swapping gossip on a Saturday night in the highland town of Wamena in Indonesia's remote Papua province.
All have heard of AIDS,they know how it is spread and they are scared. But they are a minority in this giant province nearly the size of France, where health experts say many people have never heard of the disease and few know how to use a condom.
To make matters worse, Papua already has one-third of Indonesia's recorded HIV/AIDS cases, yet less than one percent of its population. Some experts fear five percent of the province could be HIV positive, and warn of an African-style epidemic in an area where hospital facilities are rudimentary at best.
"Papuan men say they wouldn't be satisfied if they used a condom," said Gustim Pigmo, at 18 one of the oldest in the group, pulling a wool cap tight over her head to keep out the highland cold. The youngest girl was 14.
With their tight curly hair and adorned with tribal jewelry, the girls looked like they should be on the pages of National Geographic,not getting ready to hustle for sex.
Only last week, the United Nations warned Asian leaders they were ignoring a looming African-style HIV/AIDS crisis.
Aggravating the situation in Papua, health experts said, was a belief that Jakarta introduced the disease in the 1990s to try to wipe out the indigenous population in one of the country's two separatist hot spots.
Papua has Indonesia's highest prevalence of AIDS even though it recorded its first HIV case just 10 years ago and testing facilities exist only in big centers.
Health experts said little testing for example has been done since 2000 in Wamena -- hub of the Baliem Valley where some tribes only emerged from the Stone Age decades ago.
"The situation is bad and I would say getting worse," said Chris Green, from the Spiritia Foundation, an HIV/AIDS non-governmental organization in Jakarta.
"Some estimates put the number of people infected at five percent of the population, which is very high even by African proportions. ... We're looking at the potential for a community, or a number of communities, to almost disappear," he said.
Health experts said the disease was spreading rapidly due to several factors -- promiscuity, rituals in some Papuan tribes where partner swapping takes place, little foreplay which increased the risk of abrasions, poor education about AIDS and a lack of condoms.
Few places could be as remote as poverty-stricken Papua, home to two million people, including hundreds of tribes that speak 250 different languages. Yet the disease has penetrated deep into the jungles.
Papua is largely Christian or animist, unlike Indonesia which is mainly Muslim. Wamena is 2,200 miles east of Jakarta and the Baliem valley can only be reached by plane.
One man trying to raise awareness is Gunawan Ingkokusumo, head of the USAID-funded AksiStopAIDS network in Papua.
His figures show that as of December, there were 1,263 recorded HIV/AIDS cases in Papua against 3,782 nationally. He said the rate of HIV infection could be five percent.
The view among many Papuans that Indonesia had intentionally brought the disease in has made calm debate unlikely and muted the response from local leaders, experts said.
Ingkokusumo said the reluctance to address the issue was the key obstacle to action. Several high-profile community leaders interviewed by Reuters accused Jakarta of introducing the disease.
Green said there were similarities with parts of Africa, with migrant populations working near mining and logging operations. Thousands of soldiers are also spread throughout Papua.
Silvia Tamahiwu, who runs a small aid group in Wamena that has worked with young prostitutes, estimated 100 girls were selling sex in the town of 15,000 people.
As the nine girls finishing eating, some said they feared they had HIV. But they had to keep working for the money.
"We are all scared, but what can we do," said Mariee Kiwo, squeezing a wooden
Christian cross around her neck.

I’m a fan on the Assassin’s Creed series of games and thought I’d show my appreciation by registering on the Ubisoft Uplay website to take advantage of some the “extras”. What an idiot I was for thinking that was a good idea, because here I am at 00:05 hours having tried for the umpteenth time to register on the UPlay site. For some reason clicking on the “CREATE MY UBISOFT ACCOUNT” button after filling in the form results in … absolutely nothing!
I’m by no means a computer boffin but I do know enough to be certain that this isn’t some stupid mistake by me! In fact, in an effort to prove this to myself I tried it using Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox with the same result on each. This would suggest only one cause – UBI are shit! At least when it comes to their website.. I mean, come on, if you’re gonna say that registration is “Free and Easy” at least make an effort to go for the double! Free it may be … but if this is what we’re to expect then quite frankly it better be free! Even more so when the only course of action in terms of support is to phone or write to them – email not good enough for them I suppose?
There, rant over. Don’t expect to be inundated with support or otherwise, this was just a vent to get this crap off my chest in the absence of “real people” by virtue of the fact that they’re all in bed asleep! | <urn:uuid:b578c59e-8fb4-49f7-b7bb-000cd456d0c5> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://minty1965.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/is-u-play-crap-or-is-it-just-me/ | 2017-09-26T14:42:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818696182.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20170926141625-20170926161625-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.955851 | 342 |
Japan has invaded us again and again. First, as immigrants to the south. Then in a hostile manner in World War II. After that, economic and technological innovations. And lately, with tourists and pop cultures like anime, manga, and figurines.
And now, we have an anime about girls topbilled as saviors of mankind, based on real life World War 2 warships from Japan battling the scourge that comes from the deep sea, the abyssals, once implied to be representations and inspired by historical adversaries Japan faced back then.
TV5 is reviving its AniMega program block, a throwback to its anime offerings previously as ABC-5. Having shown recent anime titles such as Code Geass and even Shakugan no Shana before undergoing a hiatus, this time, Kantai Collection – Kancolle: Animation Sequence is lined up.
This should be a rather mixed news to Kancolle players of the Philippines, some who are wary of Filipino dubbing. However, TV5 was reputed to have done better quality in dubs, compared to ABS-CBN, who, reportedly due to lack of dubbing talents, ended up with female protagonists in various series sounding exactly the same.
Kantai Collection will be shown on TV5 every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 5:15 PM.
Get to the TV, cable or look for live streaming.
Jump into the game using your browser or android phone. Requires some Japanese language and culture knowledge.
Then learn how many of Kantai Collection shipgirls real life counterparts are shipwrecked in here. | <urn:uuid:85d52765-da04-4a21-a1b2-cd2d6ba7be8b> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://spratlyschara.de/random/kancolle-animation-sequence-invades-philippine-tv-screens/ | 2018-05-23T08:34:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865468.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523082914-20180523102914-00106.warc.gz | en | 0.951355 | 327 |

Here in the carriage shop, it’s been one of those months where suddenly a lot of little things have all come to fruition on Bulleid open third 1456. As always, this cues comments along the lines of “gosh, you’ve been busy this week…” and such like, to which we have to answer through gritted teeth, but it is nice to see the more obvious progress, even for us!
The most obvious thing is framework. In my last post, I wrote about the framework being put on display around the carriage for the gala. This time, it’s framework being put in the carriage! The south side went in a few months back, this time it was the turn of the north side, with the frame from the London end to the middle doors going in during the first week of this month. This means we’ve got nearly half of the side framework back in place, and as quickly as the new frame went in, the next sections came out. We’ve carried on down the North side, which has been removed right the way to the country end, and also removed the London end section. On the sides, we’re simply waiting for the metalwork to go in, while the end framework is a little way behind, but brings me nicely to my next subject; corner pillars.
On both the Bulleid coaches I’ve worked on (1456 and Brake 4211), the corner pillars have been the most difficult components to replicate. Regular readers will know that these carriages, while outwardly similar, were actually built by different manufacturers, and are quite different internally. 1456, which we are working on at the moment was built by the Southern Railway in house at Eastleigh works, while 4211 was built under contract by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company. The corner pillars are consequently quite different, on 4211 they’re made out of two pieces bolted together, while on 1456 it is just one massive piece of timber, of what we might call a “funky” shape!
All four original corner pillars on 1456 are very rotten, and such an important component can’t be left to chance, so replacement was the only option. Gordon decided it was his turn to play with the corner pillars, after I had all that fun on 4211, so he set to work. They’re a nice job to do, we both like a bit of a head scratcher, and these certainly fit into that category. Have a look at the photos to see what I mean about the shapes and see some of the steps Gordon took to achieve them. Once the corner pillars were shaped, I took over to fit the frame together. I’m sure by the next time I write a blog the London end frame will be back in place. Once that is in, we can put in the bottom rails, which in turn means we can put the floor down! That will feel like amazing progress.
While the coaches are generally thought of as wooden, there is of course a huge amount of metalwork on them. One area we’ve had a focus on recently is the gangway faceplates. One pair of the mounting brackets needed replacing, but they’re a curious shape with a ball and socket joint, so presented another slight head scratcher, but this time for our metalworkers. It’s lucky that we’re good mates with the team in the light machine shop, they’ve come up trumps, see photo 12.
In other work around the workshop, needle gunning and painting the underframe of Bulleid brake 4367 continues at a good (if noisy…) pace, while Billy has been busy staining and varnishing panels for MK1 16083 ready for when that is reassembled, though it won’t be for some time as there is some serious metal work to do on that. Our apprentice Rob has also conjured up a rather nice door that I think will be hung on the accessible toilet up at Alton in the near future.
If you can’t wait another month for news of the carriage shop, then come on down to the railway! We’re running every weekend, and the viewing gallery will be open.

Rosetta Type Foundry announced (Press release)
Strong focus on multi-script typography
Brno, Czech Republic (February 2011) The new independent type foundry Rosetta released its website (www.rosettatype.com) and online store on January 2011. The foundry intends to provide typefaces for new and rapidly growing markets that require special language support for particular orthographies, languages and writing systems.
Rosetta was created by David Březina and the prolific duo responsible for the successful foundry TypeTogether (www.type-together.com), Veronika Burian and José Scaglione. The three Co-Founders are graduates of the University of Reading, which has a long standing tradition of research in non-latin typography.
"Most of commercial fonts cover only the basic Latin alphabet and some accented letters that are used in languages such as English, Spanish or German, but that is not enough for Central-European languages, let alone regions that require different scripts such as India, Russia or the Middle-East" says David Březina, COO and Co-Founder of Rosetta. "As new economies expand, the need for high quality fonts that support their languages becomes evident and is long overdue".
According to recent studies* six of the ten most spoken languages of the world require a script other than Latin. Rosetta is a response to the increasing interest and need, within the global market, for multi-script typefaces that are both technically and aesthetically of the highest standard. "The goal is not only to publish more typefaces with broader language support, but also to promote research and build a knowledge base in that area. In order to create fonts that are respectful of the cultural heritage of the different languages and writing systems we are collaborating with experienced specialists and consultants." says Burian.
Up to this date, Rosetta's retail library features typefaces that provide support for pan-European Latin, Arabic, Greek, and Cyrillic for Slavic languages as well as for many Asian languages. This includes Maiola by Veronika Burian, Skolar, by David Březina, and Nassim and Aisha by Titus Nemeth, all of them award-wining typefaces. In the coming months Rosetta's library will be joined by more quality text faces for various scripts, including Devanagari and Gujarati. Additionally Rosetta announced that it is also catering tailored type design and font customization services for corporate use and OEM.

Dear sir/ madam,
I’m writing this post to inform you about the illegal things done by a medical pharmacy named Maa Kali Pharmacy, Chandrakona Town, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal . This Pharmacy gives sleeping pills without seeing any prescription and I think which will occur many suicides.
So request you to judge from you own end and make sure the license is cancelled of this Pharmacy.If you don’t believe me, send one person from you team and ask for Ativan sleeping pills. You will see they will give you without checking any prescription | <urn:uuid:72039436-00f7-44f3-8040-049fc0c226db> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.consumerforums.in/medical-pharmacy-is-giving-sleeping-pills-without-prescription | 2021-07-29T05:52:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153816.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20210729043158-20210729073158-00581.warc.gz | en | 0.906999 | 124 |

ONE day in the late Convention of the National Educational Association, Professor Morgan, of Rhode Island, in replying to criticisms upon the public school, said that the opposition to the public schools comes from Roman Catholicism. The next day the following “open letter to the heads of the departments of the National Educational Association,” appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle. The writer is chancellor of the archdiocese of San Francisco:—
GENTLEMEN: When the National Educational Convention, now in session in this city, and over which you preside, began its work, we were told that the great object of the convention was in the assembled wisdom of numbers to compare methods, to interchange ideas, and unify the best methods of promoting the object of the public schools.
We were naturally led to suppress that one other object would be carefully kept in view, namely, to maintain inviolate the boasted characteristic of the public-system of this country, namely, its non-sectarian character.
Now, gentlemen, while these expectations were most reasonable, I beg to express what I believe to be the feeling of the great Catholic body of this community, including, I feel assured, every Catholic teacher in that convention, whether living here or coming hither from elsewhere, namely, our utter amazement at seeing your sessions regularly opened with prayer by Protestant ministers, representing the various Protestant denominations of this city.
This we might have tolerated to gratify those who delight to pray in public places, but we certainly cannot permit to go, without a respectful protest, such remarks as the following. I quote from this evening’s Bulletin. The report given of the gentlemen’s words is substantially the same in the Post and the Report. Prof. Thomas J. Morgan, of Rhode Island, said:—
“This rising opposition to the public schools comes from Roman Catholicism, and this opposition means nothing but their destruction—with them a destruction of our civilization, of our liberties, a return to the horrors of the Middle Ages.”
It is stated that these words were received with cheers and with hisses, but it is not said that these sentiments were repudiated by your presiding officer. Perhaps it was not his duty to do so. But if not, it is due the public to say that these sentiments are an insult to, and an outrage upon, the feelings of half the community in which this convention is sitting; an outrage upon the feelings of a large number of teachers composing that convention; an insult to the largest body of Christians in this great and free country, where, until now, it was supposed that no law, not even a school law, should operate or permit such insult. Since the Catholic body of this country pays more taxes than any other body of Christians to support these schools, shall we then be insulted and outraged and have no means of redress? I ask the fair-minded of every shade of opinion if this is not true.
It is not true that “this rising opposition to the public-school system comes from Roman Catholicism” alone. Some of the best and purest men and the ablest and profoundest thinkers outside of Roman Catholicism are as much opposed to it as Catholicism is.
Gentlemen, is it fair, is it honest, to oblige teachers to attend that convention under pain of incurring the displeasure of the School Board, and thus insult them in this way? I ask the heads of this convention to answer.
San Francisco, July 19, 1888.
The following is Professor Morgan’s reply:—
To the Editor of the Chronicle—SIR: Will you kindly allow me space for a very brief reply to Rev. Father Montgomery’s “protest” against my remarks yesterday, which you publish to-day?
I assume all responsibility for my utterances and do not wish “the heads of departments” to be censured for what I have said.
I wish, however, to disclaim any intention of “insulting” my Roman Catholic fellow-citizens. Some of the best friends I have in the world are Roman Catholics. If in the hurry of a three-minute utterance on a great theme I used any words that could be regarded as insulting, I greatly regret it.
The point I wanted to make was this: I was asked, What answer can we give to the criticism made upon the public schools that they fail to cultivate the religious sentiment or to teach morality? My reply was that a part of this criticism from the Roman Catholics, and I asserted that the Catholics who make it would be satisfied with nothing less than the destruction of the public schools and the substitution therefor of parochial schools. In other words, the charge that the public schools are “godless” means that they are not Roman Catholic, and should be destroyed.
Not to multiply authorities, let me cite the words of Rev. F. T. McCarthy, S. J., used in a sermon reported in the Boston Journal, December 23, 1887. He says the public-school system “is a national fraud.” “It must cease to exist, and the day will come when it will cease to exist.” “There are some 8,000,000 Catholics in the United States, and they protest against this institution.” “It is subversive of the rights of the individual, subversive of the rights of the family, subversive of the rights of religion, and subversive of the divine rights of God himself.” The States “have no right to educate.” “God never gave a commission to the State to educate.” He asserts that if Catholics patronize the “godless” public schools, when they have other schools to send to, “they are guilty of mortal sin.”
The priest, whose words I am quoting, declares that he is not “giving his opinion,” but laying down “the teachings of the church.”
I respectfully submit that if Rev. Mr. McCarthy correctly represents the Catholics then they are in favor of the absolute overthrow of the American public-school system, and the criticism on the schools that they are godless is not made with a view of improving them, but is intended to undermine and destroy them.
As a teacher, a member and an officer of the National Educational Association; as a friend of the public-school system; as one who believes that our free Government rests upon the virtue and intelligence of our people—I felt at liberty when called upon to answer the grave criticism made upon our schools, to point out the animus of the criticism, so that we may know for what we are contending.
If Father Montgomery and the Catholics of the Pacific Coast agree with Father McCarthy, of Boston, I do not see that they have anything to complain of in what I have said. If, however, they do not accept his teachings, if they are the friends of the public schools, no one will rejoice over that fact more sincerely than I will.
THOMAMS J. MORGAN.
San Francisco, July 19, 1888.
We shall not attempt to add anything to Professor Morgan’s reply, as to the merits of the case; but there are two expressions used by the priest to which we would call attention for a moment.
The first of these is that in which he speaks repeatedly of Professor Morgan’s words being an “insult and an outrage.” Priest Montgomery knows that the Professor states the fact. Priest Montgomery, and everybody else, knows that Roman Catholicism, everywhere and always, is opposed to our public-school system. Everybody knows that Professor Morgan stated the fact. And it is neither an insult nor an outrage publicly to state what is publicly known. The priest says there are some outside of Roman Catholicism who “are as much opposed to it [the public school] as Catholicism is.” Whoever outside of Roman Catholicism opposes the public-school system is but a Roman Catholic in disguise, for the principle of his opposition is essentially Roman Catholic. More than this, nine-tenths of those who oppose the public-school system, outside of the Catholic Church, do so expressly to please the Catholics and so secure their co-operation in carrying into operation certain religio-political schemes which both have in view, and which will end in that which Roman Catholicism has long desired—the destruction of the American public-school system.
The other expression is that in which the priest says that “to gratify those who love to pray in public places,” the Roman Catholics “might have tolerated” the opening of the sessions of the convention “with prayer by Protestant ministers, representing the various Protestant denominations.” Mr. Montgomery should be told that the American people know no such word as “tolerate.” “What other nations call religious toleration we call religious rights.” That Educational Convention had the right to have its sessions opened with prayer by anybody whom it should choose, or opened without prayer at all, just as it should choose. And when Mr. Montgomery talks of “tolerating” it, he casts a slur upon every man who has any respect for himself. In 1827 Lord Stanhope said: “The time was when toleration was craved by dissenters as a boon; it is now demanded as a right; but a time will come when it will be spurned as an insult.” That time has now come. And every man who is acquainted with the true principle of liberty will consider it an insult when anybody, be he so-called Protestant or straight-out Catholic, proposes any such thing as religious “toleration.” The vocabulary of American ideas knows no such word as “toleration;” it asserts RIGHTS.

I've had some conversations with some folk in regards to this upcoming campaign. One of the biggest questions I get is "Why only 500 points?"
Well, my thought was that in many Warhammer 40k campaigns, people tend to lose interest after a few weeks. You play about once a week as your schedule allows, making a move on the map, and so on. Progress is slow, movement on the map is slow, and any real changes to the campaign can take many weeks.
My thought was to do a fast and furious campaign in which the borders on the map can change drastically from night to night, playing as many as 3 turns in an evening.
I have also noticed that some of the players at the store have started some new armies, Josh with his Dark Eldar and Nagle (not me, notice his name is misspelled) with his Ork horde. This will hopefully help them with the motivation to get some paint on some of those models and test them on the battle field.
I have also attempted to design this campaign so that the army grows as the campaign progresses, this is deliberately a slow army growth, but I am guessing that by the end of the 4th week some of the more powerful empires will be at about 1000 points.
While I am adding this second post I may as well list some of the things that the players will need for this campaign.
1. 500 point army preferably fully painted. Unpainted models (less than 3 colors) will be allowed to be used, but will have a -1 penalty to all stats, this can be reduced to 0 (They are pressed into service before being ready for battle)
2. Campaign tokens for taken territory, these will be the players responsibility. These can be as simple or elaborate as you like as long as they are small enough to fit on the map, and they are individual enough to distinguish them from another player.
If you are having trouble with motivation getting your army done a few of us are meeting at Jester's Playhouse next Sunday, I am hoping to get in a game, but I am bringing some stuff to paint as well, and would be happy to help anyone out trying to get ready for the campaign.

Cyberattacks against small businesses are on the rise. 2019 saw a 424% increase in small business-focused cyberattacks . And according to an IBM report, these threats cost businesses with less than 500 employees more than $7.5 million on average in 2020.
Increasing attack volumes stem in part from the democratization of technology. Even minimally skilled hackers can now get their hands on malware-as-a-service tools that make it possible to compromise key systems. In addition, many small businesses are ill-equipped to handle targeted cyberattacks, since they often don’t have (or don’t have the budget for) dedicated IT teams.
When it comes to cyberattacks on small businesses, how can owners boost security without breaking the bank?
Common Cyber Threats Aimed At Small Businesses
Some of the most common cybersecurity threats for small businesses include malware, ransomware and phishing attacks.
Malware efforts see hackers installing unwanted code on devices or networks that may grant them one-time or permanent access, in turn, allowing them to spy on operations or exfiltrate key data. Ransomware threats effectively “lock” your data with encryption while attackers demand payment for its release. Phishing attacks target staff with fake emails or attachments that compel them to click through or download—in turn, putting secure credentials at risk.

No matter the type of attack, small businesses are at risk: Revenue, reputation and day-to-day operations may all be impacted by cybersecurity threats.
Four Ways to Boost Small Business Cybersecurity
Not sure how to protect your small business against a cyberattack? Here are four ways to advance small business IT security:
1. Bolster the basics: Improving basic security hygiene makes a difference. If hackers find your networks and systems difficult to access, they’ll likely go elsewhere. Start with passwords. Ensure staff aren’t using easy-to-guess options such as 123456 and make sure they’re changed every few months. In addition, deploy two-factor authentication (2FA) solutions such as SMS codes or authenticator apps.
2. Create a security-first culture: Security is everyone’s responsibility. This is especially true for small businesses that don’t have dedicated IT and security teams. Unless all team members are on board, attackers have an easy way to obtain access. As a result, it’s critical to create a security-first culture that prioritizes protection over speed. Staff should be trained to recognize and report suspicious emails rather than simply ignoring or deleting them.
3. Review your insurance: Despite best efforts, small business breaches happen. It’s possible to do everything right and still experience compromise or data loss. To help preserve vital cash flow and pay the costs of these breaches—such as fraud monitoring for affected customers, legal fees and system restorations—it’s worth evaluating current business insurance policies and adding more comprehensive cyber insurance coverage.
4. Deploy role-based access: To reduce total risk, small business can deploy cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) solutions. With no expensive hardware to buy or integration to manage, these tools are easy to install and provide companies complete control over data permissions, allowing businesses to limit the number of people who have access to critical information such as payroll documents or intellectual property.

New In studio, Need your help
One thing that I try to remember is to consider whether color is important. A happy child with a bunch of balloons screams color. However in the case of what you're doing here, color is not as important. Simple compositions are quite often amplified by having a b&w image. Of course you always want to shoot in color, but take the color out in post.
A well lit shot does not mean there are lights everywhere covering every angle. Pictures like that are boring and lack interest. So consider a very simple set up with just a few lights, and probably not use a soft box on any of them. I would consider bare bulb, and maybe a reflector. I like your idea of keeping the background black, though and in that, there are inherent problems, keeping the subject from blending into the background can be quite tricky, you don't want to overlight the subject, but don't want to see them disappear either. Consider this; key light the subject at a good off-axis angle, then put a secondary light opposite the first one, keep them both off the background. For moving subjects, your may want to do as much mock up as you can, so your subject is not jumping or whatever to the point of exhaustion. | <urn:uuid:9c988a46-d3a1-4738-a756-17b7874da007> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/50768247 | 2016-02-13T03:34:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701165697.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193925-00152-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971873 | 261 |

WELLINGTON - Former All Blacks winger Hosea Gear has signed with the Chiefs for the next Super Rugby season.
The 30-year-old winger is currently playing in Japan and will return to New Zealand early next February at the conclusion of his club season.
The outstanding winger, who will join forces with dual-international Sonny Bill Williams at the Chiefs, is expected to provide impact both on and off the field.
Coach Dave Rennie says Gear's signing is good news for the two-time Super Rugby champions.
"Hosea ticks all the boxes. He's a good man, very professional and experienced. He's also a hell of a player, powerful, quick and a quality finisher."
The dynamic back says he's looking forward to returning home.
"I'm looking forward to playing in my home country again in front of New Zealand supporters, family and friends," he said.
Gisborne-born Gear played 14 games for the All Blacks, also representing the Maori All Blacks and the All Black Sevens, winning a Commonwealth Games Gold Medal in 2010.
He has played Super Rugby for the Highlanders and Hurricanes, and provincial rugby for Poverty Bay, North Harbour and Wellington. | <urn:uuid:3ee89c98-9b59-48c5-968e-05affd2f9710> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=277099 | 2015-05-29T10:18:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207929978.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113209-00023-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96793 | 250 |
