Whether you are thinking about adopting a kitten or you have already, it is crucial to know the potential health concerns that kittens are prone to. In addition, you must also know what symptoms and signs to look out for to know when to act. Kittens are adorable pets, although, as with all pets, you must prioritize their health and wellbeing.
Kittens require monthly vaccinations until they reach six months of age, and these vaccinations will help ward off various viral infections and fatal health issues. So, be sure to take your kitten to Paoli Vet animal hospital to keep up to date with essential vaccinations, deworming, and general health checks. With that said, these are the most common kitten health concerns and how to identify them.
Upper Respiratory Infection
Sneezing is the most blatant sign of an upper respiratory infection in a young kitten; however, kittens and cats of all ages tend to sneeze from time to time. The tell-tale sign is frequent sneezing. In addition, signs of a more severe infection include a gloopy yellow discharge from the eyes and a notably runny nose. Upper respiratory infections in felines are often referred to as kitten killers, and these infections include feline herpes virus and calicivirus infections, which are usually pretty serious. However, if the symptoms are managed in time, your kitten has a good chance of survival.
Intestinal worms are a concern for both puppies and kittens, and they are widespread as well. The best course of action is ensuring your kitten is dewormed every six months. However, if you are not deworming your kitten, the signs of intestinal worms include diarrhea, bloody stools, significant weight loss, and failure to thrive. The results can be devastating if left for long enough. However, the simple treatment of deworming can be done effectively at home to treat and prevent intestinal worms.
Fleas are often found in kittens and puppies that come from unclean environments. And because fleas can spread in your home, it is pretty essential to sort the problem out before your whole family is itching from fleas. They are pretty easy to spot as well, as you can pick up a flea infestation simply by grooming your kitten. The best treatment is a flea shampoo, regular grooming, and a flea collar to ward off fleas in the future.
Ear mites infest cats and kittens the same way fleas do, and the issue can cause your kitten a lot of unpleasantries. If left for too long, hearing damage is a potential concern. Ear mites can be spotted as a crumbly white product breeding within your kittens’ ears. This product is digested blood that the mites have consumed from your kitten. Because ear mites bite and crawl in your kittens’ ears, the tell-tale signs are also frequent ear scratching and head shaking. Liquid ear drops from a vet are required to clear ear mites, and with the right drops, the mites should clear up within about two weeks of treatment. | <urn:uuid:8185c850-84df-41fe-88b5-01115c010ade> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://didyouknowpets.com/the-most-common-health-concerns-for-kittens-and-how-to-recognize-them/ | 2022-10-03T00:39:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337371.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003003804-20221003033804-00612.warc.gz | en | 0.949537 | 638 |
The article talks about the continued interest of the speech communication field in technology-supported instruction. Earlier detailed descriptions of teaching/learning laboratories in speech communication are based upon older computer-assisted instruction models and such laboratories were financially out of reach for most small-to-average sized departments. Recent, dramatic enhancements of the memories and processing speeds of microcomputers has made them ideal for recording, editing, and replaying sound supported motion picture clips of speech presentations. Clearly, evaluating student performance and providing substantial and prompt instructional feedback can easily be accommodated by the course web site. Aside from the interactive testing and automated grading features described above, computer-assisted grading and evaluation of speaking performances are supported by specialized forms software and the personal data assistant or PDA connected to a server.

Press release dated June 21, 2017
After an oral hearing of more than three hours before the Regional Court of Braunschweig on June 19, 2017, Puma withdrew the request for the grant of a preliminary injunction upon the recommendation of the Presiding Judge of the 9th Civil Chamber.
On April 20, 2017, Puma submitted a request for the grant of a preliminary injunction, attacking the distribution of the shoe model “Stan Smith Boost”, i.e. against the latest version of the classic sneakers from the sixties. The request was based on the allegation that the sole of the “Stan Smith Boost” infringed two of Puma’s Community designs. On account of the protective letter submitted by BP on behalf of adidas AG, the Regional Court of Braunschweig, however, did not comply with Puma’s request for an immediate grant of an injunction, but scheduled an oral hearing first. After a detailed discussion of the parties’ arguments, the Presiding Judge stated that in the Chamber’s view, the “Stan Smith Boost” model does not infringe Puma’s two Community designs. Thus, Puma adopted the Presiding Judge’s proposal of withdrawing the request for a preliminary injunction, but will have to bear the costs of the proceedings nonetheless.
The present litigation is one of a range of legal disputes between Puma and adidas as well as between Puma and BASF SE, in which these Community designs or the Boost shoe sole design and the Boost technology were at issue. On the whole, Puma has taken legal steps against seven different Boost shoe models of adidas so far, yet remained unsuccessful in all of these cases.

Filipino authorities say they have busted a terrorist-funded racket that was responsible for hacking telephone networks.
Four individuals -- ranging in age from 21 to 31 -- were charged with hacking the private branch exchange (PBX) systems of telecommunication companies. Specifically, the adversaries targeted AT&T systems and caused some $2 million in losses, according to a statement Thursday from the Philippine National Police's Criminal Investigation and Detection Group.
Police said the suspects had links to a Saudi-based terror group. One of the suspects, Paul Kwan, had been arrested in 2007 as part of an FBI terrorism investigation.
Kwan and three others was funded by Jemaah Islamiyah, an al-Qaida-linked terror network that helped finance the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, according to Filipino police. An FBI spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"Revenue derived from the hacking activities of the Filipino-based hackers were diverted to the account of the terrorists, who paid the Filipino hackers on a commission basis, via local banks," the police statement said.
Kwan also was among three people indicted in 2009 in New Jersey on charges of hacking into the telephone networks of major businesses so a group of conspirators could offer cheap rates at overseas call centers.
In that case, the hackers broke into the PBX systems of U.S companies. Using the compromised networks of these firms, between October 2005 and December 2008, the attackers were able to place more than $55 million in calls lasting 12 million minutes, authorities said. The victims included the companies whose systems were hijacked and long-distance carriers, such as AT&T, who routed the calls.
In this most recent case, AT&T said it ended up recouping some customers for losses, but it was not a target.
"AT&T's network was neither targeted nor breached by the hackers, although the phone systems of a number of businesses, including some of our customers, were," AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel told SCMagazineUS.com on Monday. "AT&T only assisted law enforcement in the investigation that led to the arrest of the group of hackers."
The bust is unrelated to an "organized" hacking attempt launched against AT&T to obtain information about customer accounts, which was revealed last week. | <urn:uuid:29b30380-0a83-4364-99fd-c657990f2304> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.scmagazine.com/news/breach/police-charge-hackers-with-targeting-att-customers | 2021-12-04T22:04:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363125.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20211204215252-20211205005252-00107.warc.gz | en | 0.978107 | 468 |

A contractor and insurance company is suing a Mississippi-based company in an effort to have the latter defend and indemnify the former in a series of separate lawsuits.
Archer Western Contractors, and Arch Insurance Company filed a complaint Aug. 14 in U.S. District Court Eastern District of Louisiana against Hensley R. Lee Contracting, based in Mississippi and incorporated in Pennsylvania, doing business as a HRL Contracting, alleging breach of contract.
According to the complaint on April 12, 2011, a dump truck HRL contracted to deliver clay to an Archer Western jobsite caused a multivehicle accident on Interstate Highway 610 in New Orleans near the Elysian fields exit, resulting in multiple injuries and a fatality, which subsequently lead to several lawsuits.
The lawsuit alleges that under contract terms between Archer Western and HRL, HRL is obligated to defend and indemnify Archer Western in the underlying suits for damages arising out the accident.
The plaintiffs seek to recover compensatory damages, plus costs of the suit. They are represented by attorneys Richard G. Duplantier Jr. and Cheri A. Chestnut of Galloway, Johnson, Tompkins, Burr & Smith in New Orleans.

Industrialized house-building is based on repetitive processes used in the supply, design, manufacturing and erection of pre-configured houses. Industrialized house- building contractors are dependent on many small suppliers and sub-contractors in their supply chain. These small suppliers, with limited resources and capabilities, need to be able to develop products and processes in order to deliver future customer value without wasting development resources on non-viable products. Our question is whether product development by small and medium-sized (SME) industrialized house-building suppliers could be supported by parametric Value Stream Mapping. The objective is to explore a process design framework in which Value stream Mapping (VSM) is used to identify improvements and to generate product development suggestions, based on a set of parameters defined as P1, P2..., Pn. The testing was carried out at a Swedish SME supplier to the industrialized house- building sector, using a newly-developed roofing board with an integrated membrane, with the parameters (P1) customer needs, (P2) waste on construction site and (P3) construction worker safety. Data were collected using interviews and video-recorded participant observations on two construction sites. Findings indicate that VSM cannot describe attributes of a product other than those associated with production flow. However, parametric VSM helped the case study company to stop current development and instead suggest valuable product attributes. The implications are that parametric VSM enhances the application of VSM. Parametric VSM can be used by SME suppliers as an input to product development in order to validate product attributes before launch. However, this is based on a single case study and further research is needed.

Behold the growth of management consulting: industry revenues worldwide grew from $3 billion in 1980 to $22 billion in 1990.1 Expenditures on such services by U.S. companies grew from about $7 billion five years ago to almost $14 billion in 1991.2 It is the rare Fortune “500” company that does not use management consultants. In some companies, annual fees to the leading consulting firm are $10 million per year or more — in a few, significantly more.
Yet the following complaints are common:
Consultants are always hawking the latest fad, but when they leave we never seem to be much closer to achieving our goals.
Consultants tell whoever hired them what they want to hear, effectively becoming a rubber stamp for management decisions.
Consultants spend a huge amount of time gathering internal information and then tell us what we already know.
Consultants send senior people to negotiate but the work is actually done by a flock of junior people with little business experience.
Consultants never want to leave and constantly try to expand the length and scope of their work.
Consultants make recommendations that none of us understands well enough to execute with the required commitment and judgment.
Consultants make recommendations that only they can implement, leaving the rest of us disenfranchised and ultimately unprepared to manage without them.
These problems are not inherent in the client-consultant relationship; consultants can be powerful catalysts for productive change. But clients and consultants must make new choices throughout the process to ensure that the core tasks of managing stay with management —and are not subcontracted to outsiders.
We have identified four decisions that clients and consultants make, whether consciously or unconsciously, that are critical to how effective the work will be:
- Focus versus Fad Surfing. In a bull market for panaceas, it’s easy for managers to seek preprogrammed answers and for consultants to profit from selling them. But the company that relies on fads will lose focus on higher-impact actions.
- Accepting Responsibility versus Sidestepping Responsibility. Change requires decisions that are personally unpleasant for the client and therefore risky for the consultant. The consulting effort or new program therefore can too easily become a way to postpone or avoid making these tough decisions.
- 80/20 versus All-or-Nothing. Managers feel safer with a complete analysis before they make any changes, and consultants certainly benefit from comprehensive approaches. But an all-or-nothing effort often doesn’t move fast enough to make a difference. | <urn:uuid:8883bf2a-c3ac-49c4-9656-54b65197eca9> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/consulting-has-the-solution-become-part-of-the-problem/ | 2015-05-23T08:48:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207927427.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113207-00019-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.942191 | 525 |
Transcript for More Trouble for Cruise Ship Stuck in Antarctica; Rescue Impeded
the rescue playing out in antarctica. This evening word the rescuers may need rescued. Here on that, abc's gio benitez. Reporter: Deep in the frozen antarctic, 74 tourists and researchers on that stranded ship could see their rescuers. The icebreaker coming to rescue us, alan. Brilliant! Reporter: Penguins in view, hope filling the cold air. And a chinese icebreaker, the snow dragon, in the distance, tearing through the ice to free the ship. There's a lot of relief amongst the team, and there's a lot of happy faces. Reporter: But late today, a dramatic twist. The snow dragon was so close, but it got stuck in the ice, too. They are now turning back. The explorers just spent 24 hours at a legendary polar exploration site. Recreating experiments first done 100 years ago. On the way back home, a major blizzard trapping the ship in the ice. The bad news is the sea ice edge is a long way from where we first got locked in the sea ice. Reporter: When the ice first formed around the ship the explorers were just two miles from open water. Now that ice field has grown. The ocean is now 13 miles away, that's how much thick ice rescuers have to break through. What's going through your mind knowing the icebreaker turned back? It's sort of frustrating again, that we can see hope and help, but unfortunately, we are just in an isolated position still. Reporter: We learned another icebreaker also wasn't strong enough to get through the ice. The only immediate help lies with a third more powerful australian icebreaker possibly day as way. The good news, david, they tell us, they have seven weeks worth of food on that ship. Seven weeks of food. It will come in handy, gio, thank you.

With the new Health Reform through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), there are many changes that will take place with your group health insurance plan, effective September 23rd. Most of you who have fully insured plans have not seen these changes unless your plan renews on or after October 1, 2010.
Are you ready for the changes?
Do you know what they are?
Do you know how to highlight the best of the new rules to your employees?
What about your new communication requirements?
As with any new legislation, there is a lot to digest, so here is a simple list of the first round of changes:
1. Grandfathered plans: Health plans in effect on March 23, 2010 are exempt from some health care reform provisions. For plans that choose to maintain grandfathered status, participants are entitled to a notice of grandfathered status. So if your current plan was in place before March 23, 2010, and is not going to renew until March 2011, you can remain exempt from some of the changes. But change carriers or deductibles, and you’ll need to bring the rest of the plan up to speed.
Communication requirements on Grandfathered plans: notice to employees of Grandfathered plan status
2. Appeals process: Health plans must install an internal and external appeals process, except for grandfathered plans. Plan participants should be given a notice explaining their right to appeal claims decisions.
So what if an employee wants to appeal a decision? Well, health plans will need to install both internal and external appeals processes.
Internal review process must follow Department of Labor claims procedure; self-funded plans already comply with this.
External review process for fully-insured plans must follow state law process, or if none, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) guidance. If you are self funded, the external review process must follow HHS guidance.
Communication requirements: plan participants should be given a notice explaining their right to appeal claims decisions.
3. Annual limits: Only restricted annual limits may be placed on health plans except for per beneficiary annual limits on nonessential health benefits. Federal law and/or state law may prohibit specific benefit lifetime limits. Note that some lower lifetime limits on a per beneficiary basis may violate the ADA.
4. Dependent coverage extension: Health plans that offer dependent coverage are required to cover children up to age 26.
Communication Requirements: Plan participants should be notified of this new option on dependent coverage.
5. Lifetime limits: Lifetime limits are prohibited except for specific covered benefits that are not “essential health benefits.”
Communication requirements: Participants who have reached the plan’s lifetime limits are entitled to a special enrollment notice informing them that they are again eligible to have claims paid.
6. Pre-existing conditions: Pre-existing condition exclusions are prohibited for covered children under age 19.
7. Preventive care: Plan sponsors must provide coverage for select evidence-based preventive care, certain immunizations, and certain additional care and screenings for women. This coverage must be provided without any payment from the insured (no co-pays or percent payment). Services covered are determined by the Federal office assigned to Preventive Care (the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force). Does not apply to grandfathered plans.
8. Rescission: Health coverage cannot be cancelled except for fraud, etc. This provision generally applies to individual health insurance. It does not prevent the employer from terminating the plan.
What is a Grandfathered plan? A grandfathered plan is one that does not have the required benefit designs mentioned above. However, most insurance companies are complying with the dependent to age 26 requirement regardless of plan status. If you are fully insured and renewed prior to October 1, then you most likely are on a grandfathered plan. If you renew on or after October 1, your insurance company may or may not let you keep your old plan. | <urn:uuid:0058a70f-9535-4ccb-9f78-7a5ddaaf0e49> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://sbkbenefits.com/2010/10/ | 2018-03-23T18:21:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648431.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20180323180932-20180323200932-00499.warc.gz | en | 0.939099 | 813 |
Just got a newsletter from 9 Horses with this great video The Water Understands. That’s the introduction for the video from the newsletter:
Working together with filmmaker Souki Mehdaoui, American Sign Language actor and performer Christina Dunams, electronic sound designer Justin Goldner, and our friends Nathan Koci on piano, Kevin Garcia on drums, and Reed Black from Vinegar Hill Sound, this short film features our newest composition the water understands, inspired by the Ralph Waldo Emerson poem ‘Water’. We’re really proud of this collaboration. It just felt good to be putting something beautiful into the world right now.
The poem is an observation on the dual nature of water; something which can “deketh” or “doubleth joy,” but ill used, “elegantly destroy.” With water levels rising around the world and cities like Venice and New Orleans (not to mention our home town of New York) fighting for their survival, and in the wake of the floods and subsequent humanitarian crises in Houston and South Asia, it feels especially timely.

Martin hopes this time will be different
Two years ago Pat Martin was a big-time safety prospect from the state of South Carolina. He committed to Tennessee but has spent the last couple of years at Yuma (Ariz.) Arizona Western C.C. The recruiting process has opened back up and he's hoping it will be different this time around.
Martin is hoping to learn from some mistakes, as he classifies them, and believes he's a wiser man this time around.

C-USA commissioner talks realignment, consolidation
Updated 12:35 am, Wednesday, October 12, 2011
Banowsky is trying to ensure his conference grows and is exploring consolidation options with others while having to stay abreast of the latest developments as other conferences eye some schools that are in his league.
Banowsky said the league is gaining some momentum in a possible C-USA/Mountain West football-only cooperative.
"We've had a series of discussions at various levels," Banowsky said. "Each stop on the way, they've said, 'This seems like a pretty good idea. Keep exploring. Keep going.' So I'm pleased about that. It's a terrific idea for a lot of reasons, and one of the reasons is it's moving a group of universities in a kind of cooperative way and doing it not at the expense of others but rather an effort that is a win-win."
The proposed cooperative would involve 22 to 24 schools that stretch in time zones from the East Coast to Hawaii. A championship game between the winners of each league would be organized with the hope of earning a Bowl Championship Series berth.
Big East in mix
The Big East is discussing expansion in an effort to retain its BCS automatic-qualifying status, and a person familiar with the league's discussions told the Chronicle this week that several C-USA schools were under consideration by the Big East, including Houston, SMU and Central Florida. The Newark Star-Ledger reported Tuesday that the Big East discussed a rough draft of possible football divisions in which all three of those schools would be involved.
Banowsky said the realignment prompted by the chase of schools for BCS status or by a conference such as the Big East to retain BCS status has been damaging to college athletics.
"It's really destructive," he said. "It's a marketing divide that's not only economically damaging for universities that aren't in that exclusive grouping, but it's also something that creates these seemingly strange decisions like a TCU in Texas playing in a conference in the east. Fortunately for them, they were able to undo that and get to a regionally based conference, but if we keep doing these kinds of things, I think we're going to destroy our rivalries in the long run."
Junior linebacker Phillip Steward was named C-USA Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. Steward, a Hightower product, intercepted two passes, had a tackle for loss and broke up another pass in the Cougars' 56-3 win over East Carolina on Saturday. As a unit, UH held ECU to 284 yards, forced four turnovers and picked up nine quarterback sacks. The 25th ranked Cougars (6-0) have an open date this week.
Senior linebacker Sammy Brown was added to the Chuck Bednarik Award watch list on Monday. Brown leads C-USA and is second in the nation with 14 tackles for loss. He leads the Cougars with 5.5 sacks.
Freshman setter Caitlin Ogletree was named C-USA Setter of the Week. Ogletree averaged 13.57 assists per set and 2.86 digs per set in two road wins over East Carolina. She recorded 39 assists on Sunday in a sweep of ECU and 56 assists in a four-set win over ECU on Saturday. Ogletree is currently third in the league in assists per set (10.97). UH is now 12-5 on the season and 5-2 in Conference USA play.
UH senior Megan Munoz and junior David Smith were each named C-USA Cross Country Athletes of the Week. Munoz, the female athlete of the week, earned her first career victory at the Houston Baptist Puma Open on Friday with a personal-best three-mile time of 17:29. Smith posted a four-mile time of 19:50 to take third in the event and lead the Cougars to a second-place finish as a team. It is the first C-USA athlete of the week honor for each. | <urn:uuid:d8f63d34-3677-4341-a378-90f519fdff38> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.chron.com/sports/cougars/article/C-USA-commissioner-talks-realignment-2214167.php | 2016-08-28T12:35:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982938776.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200858-00077-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97864 | 830 |
A person who still has the indissoluble sacramental marriage bond and who in spite of this lives in a stable marital cohabitation with another person, by Divine law cannot be admitted to Holy Communion. To do so would be a public statement by the Church nefariously legitimizing a denial of the indissolubility of the Christian marriage and at the same time repealing the sixth commandment of God: “Thou shalt not commit adultery”. No human institution, not even the Pope or an Ecumenical Council, has the authority and the competency to invalidate even in the slightest or indirect manner one of the ten Divine commandments or the Divine words of Christ: “What therefore God has joined together, let man not separate (Math 19:6)”. – Bp. Athanasius Schneider
Yesterday, I announced my participation in an open letter asking Synod fathers to walk out rather than allow themselves to give the appearance of their consent to a heterodox outcome. This was not solely my idea, nor did it originate with me, though I am one of the text’s two principal co-authors, along with Patrick Archbold of Creative Minority Report and other Catholic publications. We received the help and consultation of others, including two veteran Catholic journalists, a theologian who has taken the Oath of Fidelity to the Magisterium as laid out by Ex Corde Ecclesiae, and a number of concerned laymen. This work was the result of a nearly-spontaneous idea that arose among a group of concerned Catholics who have seen mounting evidence that the Ordinary Synod on the Family which is happening right now is every bit as rigged as the Extraordinary Synod that happened last year, if not moreso.
With the letter obtaining over 1000 signatures in less than 8 hours (and over 1900 within 24 hours), it seems clear that we do not stand alone in our concerns.
As one might expect after creating something like this, we’ve received a few questions, concerns, and even some angry responses to this initiative, so I wanted to take some time to explain why we are asking for this course of action.
Why are you asking the good bishops to run away? We need them to stand and fight!
This is the most common objection we’ve seen, and it’s an understandable one. We all want to fight evil, but that doesn’t mean we should rush into a slaughter, or worse, allow ourselves to be framed for one. This objection is indicative of an incomplete understanding of what is actually transpiring at the Synod. Our concern isn’t just about a stacked deck or an unfair fight – it’s that the entire outcome has already been pre-determined. We are troubled with mounting evidence that the Synod is only for show, and the goal of those who control it is to simply discard the concerns of its orthodox participants while producing a final document or set of instructions that undermine the Church’s teaching on marriage and sexuality without ever officially “changing” it.
If indeed the Synod is just ecclesiastical theater, and the bishops in attendance are able to determine that, why should they allow themselves to be used? Why should good bishops and cardinals lend the credibility of their presence to something that is, in fact, a lie? We have not asked them to leave now; our letter requests that “each and every faithful Catholic bishop at the Synod, having made every effort to resist these attacks on Christ’s teaching, if its direction remains unaltered and those faithful voices remain unheard, do his sacred duty and publicly retire from any further participation in the Synod before its conclusion so as to prevent greater scandal and confusion.”
This is a provisional request: IF the direction remains unaltered. IF the faithful voices remain unheard. Retire BEFORE the conclusion – at whatever point they deem any continuation of the exercise to be futile.
When it comes to this Synod, there are multiple causes for concern. It seems important, in light of our request, that we compile some of the more noteworthy among them here:
- This Ordinary Synod is a continuation of last year’s Extraordinary Synod, which was so extensively manipulated that the details of those events filled an entire book.
- There were a number of procedural abnormalities introduced to this portion of the Synod which would make it easier to maintain secrecy and to advance the Kasper position.
- It has been revealed that a group referred to as a “Shadow Synod” were already at work on the final recommendations to be given to Pope Francis before the Synod even began. It remains likely, though uncertain, that this is the same group that has been reported to be meeting privately on a daily basis with Pope Francis as the Synod’s work continues.
- The roster of papal appointees to this Synod reads like who’s who of heterodox bishops. Most notable among them are Cardinal Walter Kasper, whose eponymous proposal to allow the divorced and remarried to receive Holy Communion remains the focal point of faithful Catholic resistance to the Synod proceedings; and Cardinal Godfried Daneels, who, in addition to having advocated for same-sex marriage and legalized abortion, has been implicated in silencing clerical sex abuse victims in Belgium – with one notable instance caught on tape. He is also a participant in the so-called “St. Gallen Mafia,” a cabal of prelates who worked in secret against Pope Benedict and wanted to see Cardinal Bergoglio elected to modernize the Church.
- The information that is coming out of the Synod has been filtered through regional language attachés, with little coming directly from Synod participants. The English-language attaché, Fr. Thomas Rosica, has a clear bias, and has been widely accused of distorting the proceedings to support a heterodox agenda. In retaliation, he has blocked so many Twitter followers discussing his involvement that he has inspired his own hashtag: #RosicaBlockParty. These are not the actions of someone committed to transparency.
- Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki of Poland has been blogging those Synod discussions and events he believes are important for the faithful to know. The Secretary General of the Synod, Cardinal Baldisseri, ordered these removed from his site, followed by a terse reminder of the restrictions from Fr. Rosica.
- Before being silenced, Archbishop Gadecki was the reason we came to know that Jose Luiz Cardinal Lacunza Maestrojuan, president of the Panamanian Bishops’ Conference “and appointed by Pope Francis as a synod rapporteur, made so bold as to propose that the Church abandon what Jesus says about marriage and divorce and return to the Law of Moses, whom he blasphemously claimed was more merciful than Jesus, the Font of Mercy.” He is also why we know that Maestrojuan was rebuked by Greek-Melkite Patriarch of Antioch, His Beatitude Gregory III Laham.
- Archbishop Gadecki also revealed that pro-homosexual theological propaganda has been being distributed among the Synod fathers.
- 13 Cardinals were reported to have expressed their concerns to the pope about the Synod proceedings. Some have denied their involvement, while new names have emerged as signatories. Cardinal Gerhard Müller, prefect of the CDF, told Italian daily Corriere della Sera this week, “This is a new Vatileaks: the Pope’s private documents are private property of the Pope and no one else. No one can publish it, I do not know how that could happen. … The intention of those who willed its publication is to sow strife, to create tensions. I think that’s clear.”
- The pope himself is said to have been dismissive of the cardinals’ concerns.
- Article 26 § 1 of the official Synod rules states, “To arrive at the majority of votes, if the vote is for the approval of some item, 2/3 of the votes of the Members casting ballots is required; if for the rejection of some item, the absolute majority of the same Members is necessary.” Cardinal Baldisseri refused to acknowledge whether this rule would be honored in the pre-Synod press conference. We received word this week that when certain fathers asked about removing troubling language from the Instrumentum Laboris, they were told, “Well, if you want to get them out, it will require a two-thirds vote.” This is a clear change in the rules, which only require an “absolute” majority of 50% plus one.
- As we reported on Monday: The documents related to the synod coming out of the Vatican are written in Italian. This has caused some concerns because there are indications that the translations of the documents are being manipulated. Archbishop Chaput expressed his concern on this matter, stating: “As we move on to the process, there is a bit of worry in our group that when the final document is pronounced in Italian, and we’re asked to vote, we may not be very clear on what we’re voting for.”
- Of the final report committee, Gloria.TV reported: “Sandro Magister has examined the ten-member commission appointed by Pope Francis to write the final report on the synod. Four of them (Cardinal Wuerl, Archbishop Fernández, Cardinal Dew and Bishop Semeraro) were appointed by Francis to the Synod. All of them are pro-divorce and pro-homosex. At least three other members represent the same ideology: Cardinal Baldisseri, Archbishop Forte, and the Superior General of the Jesuits, Fr Nicolás Pachón.”
This is not an exhaustive list. A good summary of what these factors signify for the Synod can be found in the words of Archbishop Tomash Peta of Astana, Kazakhstan, who has said:
Some synod fathers have not understood correctly the appeal of Pope Francis for an open discussion and started to bring forward ideas which contradict the bi-millennial Tradition of the Church, rooted in the Eternal Word of God. Unfortunately, one can still perceive the smell of this “infernal smoke” in some items of the “Instrumentum Laboris” and also in the interventions of some synod fathers this year.
To my mind, the main task of a Synod consists in indicating again to the Gospel of the marriage and of the family and that means to the teaching of Our Savior. It is not allowed to destroy the fundament – to destroy the rock.
Even if the Synod is being manipulated, this is a magisterial body, and a walkout is unprecedented/would be a schismatic act!
Not so. At various points throughout history, there have been bad synods, where manifest problems demanded protest by orthodox participants. A look back through the Church offers certain notable examples. The “Robber Council of Ephesus” (which was really a sham Synod) took place in 449. The heretical Synod of Pistoia was held in 1786 and condemned by Pope Pius VI in 1794.
At the Council of Basel, called by Pope Martin V in 1431, there arose a problem of runaway conciliarism. Conciliarism is an error in which it is believed that true ecclesiastical power rests within the body of the faithful, rather than in the pope or the bishops. According to conciliarism, the leaders of the Church, in exercising their powers of governance, do so because the faithful have thus bestowed this power upon them. (A bit like the way we do Western democracy these days.) Pope Martin died only a few weeks after convoking the council, and his successor, Pope Eugenius (Eugene) IV, saw the truth of what was happening – and that it represented a significant threat to his papal authority, particularly in the wake of the Great Schism. With this in mind, Pope Eugenius suspended the proceedings at Basel, and the orthodox bishops present there heeded his call to resume the council in Florence. Some bishops, however, remained — believing that even the pope was subject to the authority of a general council — and when they attempted to suspend Eugenius, he excommunicated them.
The 15th Century is a long time ago. They did things differently then.
Fair enough. A more recent example is Vatican I, and the protest of a sizeable number of bishops over the promulgation of papal infallibility in Pastor Aeternus:
The most controverted question to come before the Council was that of papal infallibility. Like the rest of the bishops, the Americans were divided on the advisability and the possibility of a definition. The most active and vocal among them joined the opposition. The undisputed leader of this group was Kenrick. His chief supporters were Purcell, Domenec, Vérot, Whelan and Fitzgerald, of Little Rock.
The preliminary vote on the Constitution Pastor Aeternus, which contained the definitions of papal primacy and infallibility, was taken on July 13. Twenty-eight Americans were present. Eighteen of them approved the constitution as it stood; three asked further revisions; seven voted against it. After considerable discussion, the “International Committee” decided not to cast negative ballots at the public session on July 18. Instead, 55 of the opposition Fathers addressed a formal protest to the Pope and then left Rome. Kenrick, Vérot and Domenec were among the signers.
Only two of the American opponents attended the session at which, to the accompaniment of thunder and lightning, the Pope proclaimed the dogma of infallibility. One was Archbishop McCloskey, who joined 24 other prelates from the United States in voting placet. The other was Bishop Fitzgerald, of Little Rock, who has gone down in history as one of the two Fathers who voted non placet. A satisfactory explanation of Fitzgerald’s decision to attend and vote “no” has never been given.
All of the American bishops accepted the dogma once it had been proclaimed.
In his True Story of the Vatican Council, Henry Edward Cardinal Manning recounts:
The two bishops who voted on that day against the decree, as soon as Pius the Ninth had confirmed it, at once submitted and made a profession of their faith. They proved by their adverse vote the liberty which the 55 who left Rome equally possessed; and by their prompt submission they showed to the world that their opposition had been offered not to the truth of the doctrine, but to the expediency of defining it.
In the instance of the First Vatican Council, these 55 bishops removed themselves from the proceedings rather than vote against the promulgation of Pastor Aeternus, and by extension, Pope Pius IX, openly. They opposed something which in fact became a dogma; but these were not schismatic men, nor were they accused of being such. They were faithful sons of the Church, loyal to her teaching, concerned about the potential damage such a proclamation might do, and ultimately, obedient to the legitimate exercise of papal authority on the matter.
If bishops can in good conscience and without culpability leave an Ecumenical Council in protest over the promulgation of something proven to be a Divine Truth, how much more liberty should they be afforded when faced with the possibility of removing themselves from a Synod attempting to introduce pastoral practices which will lead the faithful into error and sin?
It is an unfortunate fact that those who remain at the Synod until the end will be suspected of complicity in what it produces; as with the letter of the 13 cardinals, it will be very difficult (and perhaps even impossible, depending upon the confidentiality maintained around the proceedings) to know who took what stand and why.
If it comes to a point where the Synod can be deemed irretrievably engineered in favor of a bad outcome, why shouldn’t those who love Christ and His Church remove themselves in protest? It would be a profound statement, and one not soon forgotten.

When VMWare (VMW), the world's leading virtualization software company, was partially spun out of EMC (EMC) so that its shares were available for public trading, it was considered the next big thing in the tech landscape.
In early 2007, the stock traded at $55. By October of that year, it changed hands at nearly $125. After yesterday's earnings report it plunged toward $25 after hours.
VMware's first quarter results were not so bad. The company earned $69.9 million, or 18 cents per share, up 62 percent from a net of $43.1 million, or 11 cents per share, in the period a year ago. Revenue was up 7 percent to $470 million. But forecasts about future earnings were a huge disappointment to shareholders.
Virtualization software was supposed to be so attractive to customers that VMWare revenue was expected to go up sharply for years. The firm's products allow servers to run a number of applications simultaneously, cutting the numbers of servers needed for most tasks and permitting customer to reduce the amount of hardware that they need to own and maintain.
But the recession seems to be killing the prospects of even the most useful enterprise software projects. That has put an end to VMWare's status as a growth stock.

Penggunaan Catalytic Converter dari Bahan Kuningan dengan Ketebalan 0,2 mm Terhadap Emisi Gas Buang Kendaraan Pada Motor 2 Tak
In reducing the remaining harmful exhaust emissions of motorcycles, one of them is by improving the quality of fuel and vehicle technology so that the combustion becomes better and more optimal, then the second way is to process exhaust gas through an exhaust emission controller. Catalytic Converter is a device that is installed in the exhaust channel of vehicle which has function to reduce the residual emissions from motorized combustion gases. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using a catalytic converter made of brass with a thickness of 0.2 mm to reduce levels of CO and HC in motorized vehicles. Tests were carried out by using a gas analyzer to determine the value of CO and HC concentrations. The exhaust emission test is carried out in two stages, the exhaust emission test with a standard exhaust and exhaust gas emission test with a catalytic converter with the variations of engine speed of 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm, 2500 rpm, 3000 rpm, 3500 rpm, 4000 rpm. From the research results, it was found that the effect of using a catalytic converter made of brass with a thickness of 0.2 mm with a fin model the most effective decreased on exhaust emission levels was at 1500 rpm, the CO value decreased by 1.82% from 3.96% to 2.14%. and HC value fell 4,412 ppm from 9,999 ppm down to 5,587 ppm.

STD Protection With or Without Contraception
(Released January 2002)
Cambridge Scientific Abstracts; http://www.csa.com
by Robert Lessick
Sexually-transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, represent one of the most serious public health concerns in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently estimated that there are more than 333 million new cases of four common sexually-transmitted diseases (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis) each year.
Barrier methods of contraception, particularly condoms, effectively prevent the transmission of most sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs). Education and interventions increased the rate of condom usage in some studies, but many couples still do not use condoms, and it is believed that there will always be a subset of people who do not use them. To help control the spread of STDs, scientists and public health officials have been trying to develop protective products that people will use more consistently.
Microbicides are substances that can be applied to the vagina or rectum during sexual activity to prevent the spread of HIV and other sexually-transmitted diseases and/or to act as a contraceptive. To encourage the use of these products, microbicides should be designed to be inexpensive, convenient, unobtrusive, and non-irritating to both partners. Ideally, microbicide preparations, which can be in the form of creams, foams or gels, should be available in contraceptive and non-contraceptive formulas. This would allow women to protect themselves from contracting sexually-transmitted diseases whether or not they wish to conceive children.
Early (Phase I) clinical trials focus on efficacy and safety of the products in humans who do not have sexually-transmitted diseases. Microbicides are also tested in animal models to determine whether a product is effective as a contraceptive or effective against disease transmission. Phase II clinical trials use large test groups that include people at risk for contracting STDs, to further study safety and efficacy. Phase III trials examine the actual disease control levels in humans. Several products are ready for testing at the Phase III stage.
The first compound to be tested in Phase III clinical trials as a microbicide candidate was nonoxynol-9, a popular spermicide that has been on the market for many years. This compound is frequently used with condoms and in diaphragm creams to provide additional contraceptive protection. Nonoxynol-9 is capable of inactivating some STD pathogens in the lab, but phase III trials showed that nonoxynol-9 did not provide significant protection against HIV. In fact, there is evidence that nonoxynol-9 enhances the risk of transmitting the AIDS virus.
A UNAIDS-sponsored study of the microbicidal effectiveness of a gel containing nonoxynol-9, compared to a placebo gel, was conducted in 1,000 African HIV-negative commercial sex workers. Women were counseled to use condoms consistently and correctly. Researchers found that the women who used nonoxynol-9 gel became infected with HIV at about a 50% higher rate than women who used the placebo gel. Women in the nonoxynol-9 group also had more vaginal lesions, which perhaps contributed to the higher rate of HIV transmission. Lesions are believed to be entry points for infectious pathogens such as HIV.
It could be argued that commercial sex workers do not represent a typical population of women, and that women who engage in sexual behavior less frequently might not experience the same risks. However, public health officials are concerned about continued widespread use of nonoxynol-9. Because this particular spermicide is used throughout the world, the results of studies on nonoxynol-9 may profoundly affect public health and the future of microbicide development. The World Health Organization gathered many leading AIDS researchers in Geneva in October 2001 and will issue a press release in January 2002 with an official policy and recommendation regarding nonoxynol-9. The uncertainty surrounding nonoxynol-9's future as a commercial spermicide could open the door to newer spermicidal products that do have microbicidal benefits.
First Generation New Microbicides
One microbicide that is ready to enter the Phase III clinical trial stage is also spermicidal. BufferGel (ReProtect, LLC, Baltimore, Maryland, USA) is a broad-spectrum microbicide that is designed to inactivate a wide range of pathogens by acidifying semen. The alkalinity of semen temporarily disrupts the natural acidity of the vagina by causing the vaginal pH to rise after sexual activity. In this more alkaline environment, sperm cells, pathogenic bacteria and pathogenic viruses remain active in the vagina after intercourse. BufferGel keeps the vaginal pH in the acidic range even after sexual activity. The acidity immobilizes sperm cells and inactivates some pathogens. A similar product known as Acidfast is in an earlier stage of development and testing.
Initial tests showed that BufferGel is capable of killing HIV in the lab. The product was well-received and tolerated by women in human safety trials. In rabbits, BufferGel offered significant contraceptive protection, but did not prevent pregnancy in all cases. Tests in mice demonstrated the product's effectiveness in preventing the spread of herpesvirus in addition to papillomavirus, which causes genital warts and has been linked to cervical cancer. As for bacterial pathogens, in mice BufferGel was able to reduce the transmission rate of Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydia) but it was not effective against Neisseria gonorrheae (gonorrhea).
Another microbicide called PRO 2000 is to be examined with BufferGel in the same Phase III clinical trial. PRO 2000 is a sulfated polymer designed to block the attachment of HIV to human cells. PRO 2000 does not kill or inactivate viruses after sexual activity, but instead acts as an inhibitor of viral entry and essentially prevents infection. PRO2000 is likely to be more effective against viral diseases than bacterial diseases.
PRO 2000 is one of many sulfated polymers that are under development. Researchers at St. Mary's Hospital in the United Kingdom are working with scientists at the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Belgium on a dextrin sulfate vaginal gel that is entering the Phase II clinical trial stage.
Other products that inhibit viral entry are designed to create a physical barrier that keeps pathogens away from human cells. The Invisible Condom, developed at Universite Laval in Quebec, Canada, is a gel that hardens upon increased temperature after insertion into the vagina or rectum. In the lab, it has been shown to effectively block HIV and herpes simplex virus. The barrier breaks down and liquefies after several hours.
Many products have been developed over the last two decades that inhibit the replication of HIV in the lab. Some of the more promising compounds are now given to AIDS patients undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Many of these drugs fall into three categories: proteinase inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Some of the drugs found to be most effective in stopping HIV in the lab are unsuitable for human use because of toxicity or because the body simply does not absorb them well. Such compounds that are unsuitable for use as oral medications might be usable in a topical microbicide. PMPA gel (Gilead Sciences, California, USA) using the antiviral agent, tenofovir, is one antiretroviral agent that is being tested in Phase I clinical trials. Since many of the HAART drugs are designed specifically to stop RNA viruses like HIV, these retroviral inhibitors may prove to be less effective against DNA viruses (such as herpes simplex virus).
Other microbicides artificially boost the human immune response to STD pathogens. Monoclonal antibodies to pathogenic organisms can be produced in genetically engineered plants for use in topical microbicides. The Plantibodies technology would allow microbicide designers to specifically target STD-causing pathogens.
Another approach involves the insertion of lactic acid bacteria. These bacteria are part of the normal human vaginal microflora and thrive in its acidic environment. Lactic acid bacteria help to prevent yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis, in part by secreting hydrogen peroxide to help maintain the vaginal acidity. Yogurt cultures rely on lactic acid bacteria, which can use the lactose naturally present in milk as a carbon source. Some doctors recommend eating yogurt to treat yeast infections because yogurt helps to rebuild the population of lactic acid bacteria.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are investigating the use of suppositories of Lactobacillus crispatus that could be inserted monthly so that vaginal lactic acid bacteria populations always remain high. Clinical trials are focusing on the suppository's ability to prevent chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis. The resulting acidic environment and the prevention of vaginosis and lesions may also be useful in inhibiting HIV transmission.
Some scientists are focusing on combinations of the above approaches. One product ready for Phase III clinical trials is carrageenan, a product derived from seaweed that is commonly used to solidify ice cream. Carrageenan has antimicrobial properties that, combined with its ability to thicken and inhibit viral entry, offers two types of protective mechanisms in one preparation. After some of the first generation microbicides have gone through clinical trials, it is likely that second generation microbicides will be designed to combine two or more prevention strategies.
Ethical Issues in Clinical Testing
Before a product can be marketed for human usage, it must be proven safe and effective in clinical trials. Because the rate of HIV heterosexual transmission is relatively low in some parts of the world, clinical trials could take years to produce significant results. To produce results quickly, trials must be conducted in populations with high levels of HIV infection. For that reason, HIV clinical trials have tended to recruit commercial sex workers in sub-Saharan Africa and other developing countries. Focusing on a population that carries many untreated sexually-transmitted diseases raises some ethical concerns, specifically regarding what constitutes informed consent and whether or not women understand the implications behind possibly receiving a placebo.
Because condom use significantly reduces the rate of HIV transmission, the consistent use of condoms can complicate clinical trials. If condoms are used, the number of women in the study must be very high in order to get significant results (women testing positive for HIV). Despite that limitation, HIV and microbicide studies have always included condoms, in addition to counseling on proper condom usage. Women are strongly encouraged to use condoms; however, it is assumed that some women in each test group will fail to regularly use them. Even though sexual behavior without condoms could be beneficial to a study in that it provides HIV-positive results, nearly all AIDS researchers believe that failing to strongly encourage the use of condoms would be unethical.15 One prominent scientist, however, has publicly raised the argument that counseling subjects to use condoms prolongs trials and potentially causes tens of thousands of avoidable deaths by delaying the availability of beneficial products.
Two Phase III trials, one testing both BufferGel and PRO 2000 and the other testing a carrageenan-based gel known as Carraguard, will not use commercial sex workers. "Most HIV researchers now agree that it is pointless to continue to use sex workers," Dr. Richard Cone of Johns Hopkins University and ReProtect stated. "They are infected in too many ways and bacterial vaginosis is rampant." Vaginal infections are believed to enhance the rate of HIV transmission.
"Most people are not having sex 20 times a week," said Dr. Polly Harrison, Director of The Alliance for Microbicide Research. "Some sex workers deal with rough sex and the lack of natural lubrication and some may be very young. I would say that future trials might only include sex workers as a subpopulation."
Avoiding commercial sex workers further increases the number of women needed to obtain timely and significant results. Designers of a Phase III trial to simultaneously study BufferGel and PRO 2000 initially estimated that 11,000 women must be recruited in order to obtain significant conclusions. A similar study involving Carraguard gel will need 6,600 women.
Funding for microbicidal research and development is relatively low in comparison to funding for other types of AIDS research. In 2000, Contraceptive Research and Development (CONRAD) established the Global Microbicide Project (GMP) with a $35 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The GMP and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) currently fund the bulk of microbicides research in the USA. Britain's Medical Research Council is among the funding leaders in Europe.
A bill that would increase government funding for microbicides research is under consideration in both houses of the United States Congress. The Microbicide Development Act of 2001 (H.R. 2405), sponsored by Rep. Connie Morella (R-Md.) along with Rep. Greg Ganske (R-Iowa) would establish the Centers for Microbicide Research and Development at the National Institutes of Health and would expand funding for research through both the new center at NIH and through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sen. John Corzine (D-N.J.) and Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Me.) sponsored a similar bill in the Senate.
The bill specifically defines microbicides as products that protect women from HIV and other sexually-transmitted diseases. Spermicidal and contraceptive properties are not mentioned. If passed, the resulting law would fund research on microbicidal products whether or not those products have contraceptive properties. Contraception is believed to be more controversial than public health in the United States government; therefore, pending legislation focuses exclusively on the microbicidal aspects of the research.
Research into developing products to help women to protect themselves is not very controversial, at least with vaginal products. Rectal microbicides research may prove to be more difficult to fund, because some people associate anal intercourse with homosexual behavior.
Since microbicides must be inserted into the vagina, an application method must be designed for each product. A microbicidal preparation can be prepared to use with a diaphragm or sponge that protects the cervix. Essentially, the applicator and microbicide would be one and the same, and would remain inside the vagina during sexual activity. The diaphragm or sponge would provide contraceptive properties, and the microbicidal coating on both sides of the barrier would help protect the woman from contracting a sexually-transmitted disease.
The presence of a diaphragm might be beneficial in other ways. Because the barrier prevents semen from entering the cervix, it would allow the microbicide and the semen to mix inside the vagina for a long time period, ensuring that the microbicide inactivates all pathogens. Additionally, the cervix is an entry point for STD pathogens. Closing that entry point might significantly inhibit the ability of the pathogen to infect a woman.
Some researchers are now re-investigating whether cervical barriers by themselves protect against sexually-transmitted diseases. Because diaphragms are frequently used with nonoxynol-9, it is possible that the detrimental effects of nonoxynol-9 have masked the beneficial effects of the diaphragm blocking the cervical entry point.
Because diaphragms are not the most popular contraceptive in any geographical region, some argue that a diaphragm-based microbicide might not be used 100% of the time, much like condoms. Proponents of barrier-based microbicides point out that diaphragms are not popular because other contraceptives are more effective. If a diaphragm that offers effective STD protection were made available, it could become a more popular choice for women, but that conclusion is still the subject of much debate within the scientific and sociological communities.
In the United States, the history of contraceptive products is closely tied to disease prevention. The passage of the Comstock law in 1873 branded contraception as obscene and severely restricted public access to condoms. The popularity of condoms among American soldiers in Europe who wished to avoid contracting STDs during World War I created public pressure that led to a 1918 court ruling that allowed the sale of birth control for the cure or prevention of disease. Although condoms became readily available, many state laws still outlawed contraception. A woman could obtain a legal prescription for a diaphragm only if her doctor was willing to prescribe it for the prevention of disease. The 1965 Supreme Court decision in the case of Griswold v. Connecticut overturned 17 state laws by mandating that married couples must have access to legal forms of contraception. A 1972 decision gave unmarried individuals the same freedom.
For many years, contraceptives were sold in the U.S. as "disease control agents". Ironically, projections indicate that people who wish to use new microbicides may have to shop in the contraceptives section. The first microbicidal products on the market will likely be sold as contraceptive formulations. While clinical trials to establish microbicidal claims can be time-consuming, separate trials on the contraceptive properties of spermicidal microbicides can be completed quickly. If nonoxynol-9 were to be removed from the market, the resulting void might be filled by new spermicidal microbicides. While their microbicidal properties may not yet be proven, widespread usage of such products as contraceptives may help control diseases.
Epidemiological modeling studies performed at The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine have predicted that microbicidal availability will have a positive public health effect. The model shows that even low efficacy products that are used with high frequency are as effective as high efficacy products that are not used consistently (such as condoms). Microbicides as an alternative to or in addition to condoms are likely to significantly inhibit disease transmission.
According to most estimates, the first generation of microbicidal products could be available to the public by the end of the current decade. In 10 years (2012), first generation products may be widely available and second generation microbicides, both contraceptive and non-contraceptive, may be emerging on the marketplace. | <urn:uuid:c75acebc-bd8a-4078-bb57-2a53944100e5> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.natap.org/2003/aug/081803_4.htm | 2017-04-26T04:02:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917121153.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031201-00015-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.93811 | 3,751 |

It is generally assumed that large patches of natural habitat are better for the survival of species than the same amount of habitat in smaller fragments or linear elements like hedges and tree rows. We use a spatially explicit individual-based model of a woodland bird to explore this hypothesis. We specifically ask whether mixtures of large, small and linear habitat elements are better for population performance than landscapes that consist of only large elements. With equal carrying capacity, metapopulations perform equally or better in heterogeneous landscape types that are a mix of linear, large and small habitat elements. We call this increased metapopulation performance of large and small elements “synergy”. These mixed conditions are superior because the small linear elements facilitate dispersal while patches secure the population in the long run because they have a lower extinction risk. The linear elements are able to catch and guide dispersing animals which results in higher connectivity between patches leading to higher metapopulation survival. Our results suggest that landscape designers should not always seek to conserve and create larger units but might better strive for more variable landscapes with mixtures of patch sizes and shapes. This is especially important when smaller units play a key role in connecting patches and dispersal through the matrix is poor. | <urn:uuid:e6281ff2-17bc-4a87-b99a-5bfffb8d51bd> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10980-008-9313-9 | 2016-10-22T17:02:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719027.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00153-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.879513 | 344 |

I don't know anything about CCM. I'm not an evangelist. I'm a songwriter and a storyteller. If that story happens to be about Christ, then perhaps, in some odd semantic way, the song could be termed 'evangelical'. I gladly accept that. I also sing about divorce. And murder. And adultery. I sing about chickens and war and bathrooms. In my mind, the gospel is not something to pander and pawn off like a diet soda drink. There is no product. There is no selling point.
This is what it means to be born again: to fully and completely disengage with the preconceptions and preoccupations of the adult world and its religions, to dismantle all laws - of physics and society - and yield yourself to the birth canal, and what comes after, in which everything begins to shake and tremble with all senses fully turned to the center of the universe, the creator, God the Father, in whose cultivation we begin to know and understand our true selves, our real selves, as a reflection of God's image, his creation, like newborn babies, full, fresh, suckling, elated and laughing at everything. But honestly, I have no idea how this relates to my music. I hate talking about this stuff.
I'd like to spend less time talking about God and more time being in God's presence. I think that would put an end to this conversation, once and for all.

I just finished dinner you guys and it was so amazing I had to sit down and post about it right away! The inspiration for this meal came from an incredible meal I had back in November. While visiting my parents in Nebraska my mom and had drove to Omaha and had one of the best meals of our life at Isa Moskowitz Vegan restaurant called Modern Love. One of the scrumptious entrees we tried was a hearty lentil chili served in a bowl with big chunks of oven roasted squash served right in the bowl with the chili. It sounds really simple and it is but the flavor is anything other than simple.
We have all most likely enjoyed some form of vegan chili that includes squash in the recipe – cooked right along with the other ingredients and it’s yummy. This method is even better. When you oven roast squash it becomes sweeter and gets a wee bit caramelized which adds even more depth of flavor. Now imagine the flavor of a spicy chili tempered by the sweetness of oven roasted squash. The hubby and I were all over this meal – oohing and aahing over the flavor for the entire meal! It was amazing!
To get this meal together without much fuss I started off by getting some short grain brown rice cooking in the rice cooker which takes about an hour. While it was cooking away I began prepping the chili.
I don’t know what recipe Isa uses at the Modern Love restaurant so I chose a tried and true recipe. This is one of my favorite chili recipes that cooks up quickly in the pressure cooker. If you don’t have a pressure cooker – no worries you can also make this on the stove top. It’s Susan’s recipe from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen blog and its called Black & Red Lentil Chili. The only thing I do different is double the recipe – it still fits in the slow cooker and it cooks for the same amount of time. It also freezes really well so by doubling the recipe I have some extra for future meals. Tonight I used one green bell pepper and a red one. I like to toss them in the food processor so we don’t have big chunks of pepper. I think this method helps make the chili thicker too.
Now that the rice and chili are cooking prep your squash. Tonight I used a Kabocha squash – I like that the skin gets tender while it cooks and you don’t have to peel it! Use whatever kind of sweet winter type squash you have. like a butternut or acorn squash. To make the squash easier to cut into use a sharp knife and cut a few slits in the whole squash – after you have washed it of course. Then place it in the microwave for 5-6 minutes on high. That is just long enough to soften the skin enough that it will cut much easier. Slice it open, clean out the seeds and cut it into half inch thick slices. I roast mine plain no seasoning required, in a preheated 400 degree oven on parchment paper for 30-40 minutes. Turning the pieces over after about 20 minutes. It gets all caramelized, sweet and scrumptious.
To assemble scoop some hot brown rice in the bottom of the bowl, top with a generous serving of the chili and place a big chunk of that oven roasted squash on top. When you eat it be sure to scoop up some squash with every bite. I am sure you will find yourself oohing and aahing over this meal much the same as we did tonight. Every bite was a burst of flavor!
The best part is that you will have plenty of leftovers for future meals. We will be enjoying this meal again tomorrow. You can freeze some if you wish and enjoy it all over again in a few weeks on a night when you don’t have time to cook. The leftover rice can be used for lots of other meals later in the week. Oven roasted squash and brown rice are amazing cubed and tossed in a green salad with a balsamic vinegar dressing. The Lentil Chili takes on a different taste when served over a baked potato or a sweet potato in stead of the rice, add some steamed greens and you have changed it up yet again. Tomorrow when the rice is cool I will freeze some of it in 2 cups portions then if I need some for a recipe or a quick meal its ready to go.
Cooking for a whole food plant based diet doesn’t get any easier than this!
If you try this (and why wouldn’t you?) please come back and let me know what you thought of it. I love getting your feedback.
To your health,
Please leave a comment and let me know you were here.
Do you like short grain or long grain brown rice?
I prefer the Lundberg Organic short grain – it has a nice chewy bite to it! I buy a huge bag of it at Costco and I store it in the freezer to keep it fresh. | <urn:uuid:401179e7-c9a3-4578-a580-76e03fa677ea> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.nutmegnotebook.com/posts/course-posts/main-dish/dinner-in-a-bowl-lentil-chili-rice-squash/ | 2019-10-17T13:50:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986675316.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20191017122657-20191017150157-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.963066 | 1,028 |

At Wick & Tallow we love working with luxury brands to create them their perfect bespoke candles.
We really enjoyed working with Altfield to create them their own candle for scenting their showroom and for client gifting. Altfield is recognised as a leading resource for beautiful Textiles, Wallcoverings & Leather, distributing a number of high end lines from around the world, together with a collection of smaller boutique and artisanal lines. In addition, Altfield also produce their own collections of Wallcovering, Fabric & Faux Leather, which blend perfectly with the brands they represent. Their lines embody the richness of design and material which have become synonymous with the Altfield brand, and offer the perfect balance between beauty and performance.
Today we talk with Emma Boden, who is the PR and Marketing manager for Altfield.
We love your beautiful showroom in Chelsea Harbour. How do you create the perfect ambience and atmosphere for your clients to browse your collections?
Friendly, knowledgeable staff go a long way to making clients feel comfortable. Our refurbished showroom (I can’t quite believe it’s a year old!) has made a huge difference, there is a really great feel and flow to the space. We represent 17 brands so it’s a challenge to make sure everyone has a place to shine and that the hangers and boards etc. are easy to use. Great window displays are really important to tempt people to come in, we change these twice a year, it’s lots of fun and challenging with so much product to choose from. Lighting is definitely important, you want to create the right ambience but at the same time still be able to see what you are doing. Our clients come to us because we are knowledgeable of our products and we love what we sell.
You represent some beautiful brands, how do you choose the brands and collections?
We are fortunate enough to represent some really fantastic brands from across the globe, as well as our own lines. Each bring their own individual style but compliment each other perfectly, allowing for endless design possibilities in a single showroom.
We loved working with you to create your own bespoke candle, what did you enjoy about the creative process?
It was a great experience working with Wick & Tallow, you were super helpful and very patient! Your popping by the showroom was great timing as we had been thinking about a candle but had not found anyone who quite fitted the bill. Trying all the different scent combinations was really fun (and of course meeting Willow!).
How did you choose your perfect scent?
We had quite a few opinions to start with! William our MD wanted something with bergamot, our Showroom Manager Rodell likes really heavy church style scent. Myself and Katherine were somewhere in the middle! We wanted something that gave a nod to our heritage regards the Antique Chinese Furniture with the wonderful camphor wood and beeswax smell that used to fill the showroom, as well as the smell of leather which we now have. We moved away from that a bit and tried several different combinations and really love the final result.
What are you going to use your candle for, what are your clients feedback?
We are mainly using the candle for gifts and burning in the showroom, everyone so far loves the sent!
What are your plans for 2016?
We don’t have anything finalised for fairs at the moment, we have just finished London Design Week which was a great success, we will possibly be at Decorex and the Sleep event.
Today for our interiors inspiration blog we interview Melissa Hutley from luxury interior design company Wickenden Hutley. Wick & Tallow love working with interior designers to create their own bespoke candles and scent their projects.
Wickenden Hutley offers a comprehensive interior architecture and design service for residential and commercial clients, both in London and around the world.
Priding itself on its unique approaches to design, client relationships and project management, Wickenden Hutley has established itself within the demanding and competitive interior design industry. It is a company that creates elegant homes filled with character, individually tailored to every client.
Today we look at their stunning renovation of a penthouse in West Hampstead.What was your starting inspiration for this project?
We wanted to concentrate on making the most of the architectural space and as the client was a bachelor we wanted the scheme to have a gentle masculinity about it.
We love the use of monochrome throughout, how important is it to find an accent colour or use colour throughout a project?
We never choose a starting accent colour but it naturally develops as the schemes grow. The client wanted a clean design and the palette developed with minks, navies, taupe, natural linens, bronze and leathers, which felt masculine but warm.We notice you use beautiful greenery and plants throughout, how important is it to scent your projects?
The aesthetics is only one part of the design and when you are actually living in the space the smell of a home is the first thing that hits you when you open the front door. We always leave the client a scented candle on completion, Wick and Tallow obviously, and chose a scent that we feel is right for the client and the scheme.
What is your favourite part of the design process?
Each stage is so different but it’s hard to choose between the excitement at the beginning of the project when all of the team are brain storming and pulling inspiration and the huge satisfaction of seeing a happy client at completion!Do you create lots of bespoke furniture? How important is to create unique and individual pieces for your clients?
We love designing furniture and that’s the great thing about having an interior designer, if we can’t find what we’re looking for we’ll design it to the perfect dimensions and finishes for the space. We work with amazing British craftsmen all over the country who create stunning products for us including furniture, lighting and accessories.
Do you have some exciting plans for 2016?
We are definitely starting the year with a bang with 2 projects abroad about to commence, and some very exciting UK sites too. We are lucky that our clients are very diverse in their styles so there is lots to keep our creativity flowing!
On today's blog we interview luxury events planner Jemma-Jade William of Jemma-Jade Events on creating magical and memorable events.
Today the spot light is on a unforgettable children's party she created.
What was the theme for the party?
Children’s Birthday Parties used to be plastic plates, garden set up and a clown. But increasingly we are seeing a rise in the more elegant and luxurious birthday parties; in gorgeous venues with a child like twist. The Theme was Marie Antoinette using a pink and blue colour palette.
Tell us about choosing the perfect venue for the party?
Beach Blanket Babylon occupies an old Georgian house in the heart of Notting Hill, styled around the eclectic decor of a French country chateau. The birthday party was set in the Ballroom, which is the main feature of the venue - situated on the private first floor, the decadent décor and regal charm creates an exclusive atmosphere.
What suppliers did you work with for the beautiful flowers, cakes, etc?
So let me paint the picture of this fabulous 8 year olds birthday party. With 10 little princesses we decided to have a long table in the centre of the room making the most of the space and the gorgeous surroundings we were in.
Over The Top Rentals provided us with their ‘pinktastic’ pink taffeta hued linen to set the scene. We than had playful and gorgeous blooms from Larry Walsh.
We had 5 statement pink flocked candle sticks running down the centre, accompanied by glorious bowls of mixed flowers to create a veritable tapestry in tones of pinks, blues and a hint of purple to pull it together. The richness of this combination complemented the baroque aesthetic, whilst the vibrancy of the colours played on the childlike theme. Larry placed down the table silver votives with a pink centre to add a further touch of fun.
On the dessert table we placed two tall-flocked candlesticks, which added to the glamour of the table as well as two, glass candlesticks with candy pink candle’s - as what is a party without pink candles!!
Then as the pièce de résistance, the most creative floral arrangement I have ever laid my eyes on, and I must commend Larry for his extraordinary creativity, - one bud vase filled with chocolate dipped roses with sprinkles, they looked divine and delicious!! Petals were scattered across the table, softening the look.
Bubblegum Balloons who are known for their twist on everyday balloons made us bespoke balloons filled with pink feathers. This suited the theme wonderfully, and Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium provided us with a new range of young, fun and luxurious cakes. They almost looked too good to eat, but we ate them anyway!!
The dessert table was a feast for the eyes - with an array of small to large cakes in different colours and the most beautiful cupcakes in bows, crests and her signature roses.
The girls had a lot of fun learning how to ice cupcakes in a true cake maker’s style. They absolutely loved it! The children were also treated to mini burgers and canapés from the chefs of Beach Blanket Babylon and ended the day with a special cake made by Elizabeth. At a first glance it looked like any normal cake, but one slice revealed the true magic inside - a multicolour of layers in pink and blue!
The whole event was photographed by the extremely talented Kate Nielen, who is known for her dreamy and natural photography.
How do you create the perfect atmosphere for a party?
My philosophy is that detail is key. I start from the table décor and work my way out. Everything should be perfect and personal touches always add that little bit of fun to every event Jemma-Jade Events plan.
How important is it to capture the event on camera?
I think having a professional photographer is a key ingredient when planning the perfect party. One wants to have long lasting memories of all the gorgeousness created after all.
What do you love most about your job?
Our motto at Jemma-Jade Events is ‘Everything you can imagine is real’ and that is what I love. I love transforming ideas into reality and seeing sketches and thoughts come to life.
Where to start... growing the Jemma-Jade Events brand, working on a range of events this year all with different briefs and themes and collaborating on some rather exciting projects. So stay tuned!

The candle making would happen in the kitchen, Tom and James didn't tend to mind too much, the only low point was when the oven was perfumed with English rose.
As the market stall got busier, it soon was becoming too much for me to handle on my own, so one night over dinner at home, James, Tom and I started discussing joining forces to create a luxury home fragrance company.
With James' product design background from Central St Martins, Toms' interest in business and brand building and my scent and interiors knowledge, the three of us set to work on creating our company.
The first outing was a day trip to every candle department store in London to see what was already on the market and also to look at the various scents, quality and packaging.
We quickly realised we wanted to create something different, a brand that appealed to both men and women. Also one that celebrated colour, and good old fashioned candle making. After a lots of research and ideas being thrown around we decided on the name Wick & Tallow. James got set to work on branding and we all loved the idea of using wax seals and cylindrical packaging.
Our first collection took us 18 months to create. This was due to attention to detail and not wanting to compromise on quality, whilst we also fitted in our day jobs! We designed 8 unique fragrances that covered the whole scent wheel. In order to get the scents exactly right, I would carry around scent samples in my handbag and ask friends and family's opinions.
For packaging, James spent hours at his computer designing concepts. We went through lots of prototypes and it seemed sometimes that the smallest detail would take the longest time and most effort to get right!
Tom was in charge of setting up the company, website development and meetings with different suppliers.
In November 2013 we were finally ready to launch our first collection. It was such an excitement for all 3 of us when we were able to click live on our website.
In 2014 we added the Floral Collection to our range and in 2015 we introduced reed diffusers to our Bold Collection.
We love working together and each of us play to our strengths. Running a family business isn't always easy, but what is fantastic is being able to be completely honest with each other. We are all so incredibly passionate about our business, so we can't agree on everything all of the time, but we have learnt to compromise. We are so excited about the direction of our brand, all the important milestones we have already achieved and working with the fantastic Redwing PR to build our profile.
We have been incredibly lucky to have such supportive families, friends and customers who have really helped us grow our business. We have lot of exciting projects this year, in particular working with a whole host of other luxury brands to create their own candles as well as focusing on new product launches for ourselves. Watch this space for all our exciting news and announcements!
Flowers are a huge part of the day and are used in bouquets, church flowers, by flower girls and as table decorations. Most brides have an idea of what kind of flowers they want, and this is often influenced by the time of year that they are getting married.
Wick & Tallow created the Floral Collection with weddings in mind. All the scents have been designed around different floral arrangements for weddings. For example for our September wedding, James and I wanted to have lots of white roses, lilies and eucalyptus. For this we created our White Rose and Eucalyptus scent and made candles to be dotted around the church and reception to enhance the scent of the flowers. We also gave all of our guests a votive for them to take home as wedding favours and be reminded of the day.
The flickering flame really adds to the ambience and takes your wedding seamlessly from day to night. We placed our scented candles in between large pillar candles, to add height and create interesting centre pieces.
There are lots of other ways to layer scent at your wedding, for example by using herbs and diffusers. It's a nice idea to add herbal fragrances to your flower arrangements such as rosemary and thyme. We love eucalyptus as the leaves look so beautiful with their green and grey hues and the scent is so beautiful and really fills the room.
We recommend lighting your candles 1-2 hours before the ceremony and in the wedding venue. That way your guests are really greeted by the scent when they arrive. Another idea is to spritz the napkins with linen sprays and spray the venue with your chosen room spray. For the bathrooms, candles are always lovely, but you can also use reed diffusers. It is also a nice idea to place sprigs of lavender on the napkins as part of the place setting.
The other scents we have created are Lily & Lilac, which is perfect for May/June weddings, Sweet Pea & Peony which is perfect for June/July weddings and English Rose & Amber which is magical for winter weddings as it's a really warm and pretty scent.
To view our entire floral collection please see here.
We love passing this information on by creating candles for other luxury brands. Our bespoke candle service has become very popular within the creative industry and it's so exciting to work with different brands as their briefs are all so varied.
We work with a host of UK manufacturers including glass decorators, fragrance houses, ribbon printers and packaging suppliers. It is very important for us to support British manufacturing, and we feel that not only does this ensure that we get the highest quality, but also that we support our country's various industries. It also means we cut down on global transportation and unnecessary air or freight miles.
Scent is a passion for us. We have now built up an extensive scent library which our clients can choose from, but we can also create bespoke fragrances, which is a really exciting and involving creative process.
Our scent library consists of over 20 fragrances that we are constantly adding to. We burn trial every fragrance to make sure it burns cleanly and evenly and we also ensure that the fragrances disperse efficiently and fill the surrounding space.
With our in house design team we can design you your perfect candle with your companies branding on.
We truly put every effort in to making this creative process as fun as possible.
A lot of our clients use their bespoke candles for marketing, PR, corporate gifts and as a product to sell alongside their existing lines.

Orange is the colour of joy and creativity. In magick, it's used to clear blocks in creativity. Citrine is known to bring joy and energy. It helps strengthen self-confidence and activates your intuition. A great stone to manifest abundance, wealth, and prosperity and protect you against negative energies.
Size/shape may vary due to each stone being unique in colour and form. | <urn:uuid:7196d5af-b10a-43fd-9c85-38d11ce81472> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://houseofroxylondon.com/collections/creativity/products/citrine-rough-cut-crystal | 2022-09-30T07:20:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335444.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930051717-20220930081717-00505.warc.gz | en | 0.954224 | 78 |
I just noticed Ghosts of Xanadu published on Disenchanted, where they make an analysis of the linkback meme and it's historic roots. They cover pretty much all the big ideas I've been poking at in my head, and give props to Xanadu. Heck, they even mention Godel, Escher, & Bach (which my girlfriend & I have started reading again) and ant scent trails.
I'd like to change that with my site. The first thing I'll probably do is set up some triggers to track new referring links to my pages, and maybe give me an interface to queue them up, browse them, visit them, and annotate them.
But the second thing is something that would require a little group participation from out there in blogspace. It might not work. Then again, it might catch on like crazy. I want to investigate links back automatically, and generate annotations. I'm lazy and don't want to visit everyone linking to me, which sounds rude, but I think that the best improvements to blogspace come with automation. (In reality, I do tend to obsessively explore the links that show up in my referral log, but bear with me.)
I can respect the manual effort Disenchanted goes through, but I don't wanna. So, I want a robot to travel back up referring links. What will it find there? Well, at present, probably just an HTML page. Likely a weblog entry, maybe a wiki page. What can I reasonably expect to derive from that page? Maybe a title, possibly an author if I inform the robot a bit about what to look for. (ie. some simple scraping rules for blogs I know regularly link to me.)
What else can I scrape?
Well, if bloggers (or blog software authors) out there help me a bit, I might be able to scrape a whole lot. I just stuck a Wander-Lust button on my weblog, and I read about their blog syndication service. You can throw in specially constructed HTML comments that their robot can scrape to automatically slurp and syndicate some of your content. Not a new idea, but it reminds me.
So bloggers could have their software leave some semantic milk & cookies out for my robot when it wanders back up their referring links. Maybe it could be in a crude HTML comment format.
Or maybe it could be in a bit of embedded RDF. Hmm. Anyone?
What would be useful to go in there? I might like to know a unique URL for the page I'm looking at, versus having many links back to the same blog entry (on the front page, in archives, as an individual page with comments, etc.) I might also like to know who you are, where you're coming from, and maybe (just maybe) a little blurb about why you just linked to me. I'd like to publish all these things along with my link back to you, in order to describe the nature of the link and record the structure we're forming.
This seems like another idea blogs could push along, semantic web tech as applied to two-way links.
Of course, the important thing here is laziness. I'm lazy and want to investigate your link to me with a robot. But you're lazy too. There's no way that you'll want to do more work that I do to provide me with the data for my robot to harvest. So... how to make this as easy as making a link to me is now-- or better yet, can we make it easier to make a richly described link? That would really set some fires.shortname=oooadb | <urn:uuid:2697ee26-4269-4472-b951-a46da291e6c3> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://blog.lmorchard.com/2002/05/08/oooadb/ | 2023-03-30T20:32:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296949387.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20230330194843-20230330224843-00705.warc.gz | en | 0.959857 | 856 |
Here's an 800-word story about how the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge offended all of Canada:
The royal couple, on their first official overseas tour since their April wedding, landed at Calgary's airport on Thursday where they were scheduled to try on the white cowboy hats.
But William and Kate opted out after Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, himself sporting a cowboy hat, presented them.
The incident set the microblogging site Twitter abuzz and was a rare misstep for the young royals, who have charmed Canadians at every stop of their tour.
Later on they did wear the cowboy hats and it seems — we hope! — that all has been forgiven. Does this mean that if Will doesn't wear an Ed Hardy allover print shirt with flaming dice board shorts he's going to be run out of Southern California?

(b) Nature and size of the organization’s active membership in the State, proportion of total of such active membership accounted for by farmers, a map showing the cotton-producing counties in such State in which the organization has members, the volume of cotton produced in each such county, the number of cotton producers in each such county, and the size of the organization’s active cotton producer membership in each such county;
(c) The extent to which the cotton producer membership of such organization is represented in setting the organization’s policies;
Provided, however, That the primary consideration in determining the eligibility of an organization shall be whether its cotton farmer membership consists of a sufficiently large number of the cotton producers who produce a relatively significant volume of cotton to reasonably warrant its participation in the nomination of members for the Cotton Board. The Secretary shall certify any cotton producer organization which he finds to be eligible under this section, and his determination as to eligibility shall be final. | <urn:uuid:685469ff-8e34-445d-a3a8-f408284c3c3c> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/7/2113?quicktabs_8=0 | 2015-01-30T21:15:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115861872.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161101-00216-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952211 | 309 |

I have three cornerbacks ahead of both of them (Morris Claiborne and Dre Kirkpatrick being the obvious ones), so check back later to see the third mystery player.
My scouting report on Stephon Gilmore is posted today at the New York Times. You’ll have to go there for the full analysis, but here is a clip:
At 6-1, Stephon Gilmore has elite length for the cornerback position. He uses it to his advantage at the line, extending to re-route receivers in his press. Gilmore could add some bulk at 195 pounds, but he already possesses good strength. Because of his size, Gilmore thrives when in a press position, whether or not he actually jams the receiver. He has excellent lateral quickness, particularly for his size, mirroring receivers with ease.
Gilmore was asked to play all sorts of coverages at South Carolina, including off the line in both man and zone concepts. He struggles in this position, staying in his backpedal too long (such as at the 1:27 mark in the video below).
I think Gilmore would be a great fit in Dallas. Despite a lot of reports out there, I believe Gilmore will thrive in a man scheme. He displays poor awareness and play-making ability in off-coverage (particularly zone), but he can press with the best of them.
I really think he has a chance to be the third cornerback off the board, and there’s a chance he jumps into the first round. If Gilmore drops to the Cowboys in the second, he will be awfully enticing (even if the team signs a veteran cornerback in free agency).

Courtney Love is no healer — of herself or anyone else. And that’s why, despite the nose job, boob lift, designer gowns, and kissy-poo swanning down red carpets, she’s no pop star. She’s incapable of telling us that everything’s gonna be all right. But when it comes to testifying to how everything’s totally, unbearably, exhilaratingly fucked-up beyond despair, she has few peers. And that’s why she’s a rock star.
But Love hasn’t shown much interest in her best role during the past several years. She has pursued celebrity via supporting gigs in tepid films (Man on the Moon, 200 Cigarettes,Trapped) and by cavorting like a Banger sister with Winona Ryder, et al. There’s the tawdry legal battle over her late husband’s legacy. The public spitting match with producer/ex-boyfriend Jim Barber. And the continuing drug problems– daughter Frances Bean was taken into custody after Mom overdosed in front of her.
So by all rights, America’s Sweetheart (her first release since Hole’s 2002 dissolution) should be a pathetic mess, and at times, it is. But it’s also a jaw-dropping act of artistic will and a fiery, proper follow-up to 1994’sLive Through This. While that record chronicled Love’s travails in the ’80s and ’90s underground alt-punk, tragic-flannel subculture that made her rich and famous, this album assails the ’90s and ’00s Hollywood shit pile that’s been burying the singer alive. It’s a subject she tried to finesse on Hole’s 1998 farewell album,Celebrity Skin, which wanted to take you on a sunny, hopeful cruise down the Malibu coast, with Love pretending to be Stevie Nicks in a tube top, while Billy Corgan did the modern-rock soft-shoe.
But with America’s Sweetheart, there’s no pussyfooting around. Love meets you at LAX, tosses you into the back of a limo, blacks out the lights, and before you hit LaCienega and Fairfax, it’s on. The squalling, grind-house single “Mono” is essentially an update of Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life”: the sound of a done-it-all rocker suckering you into coveting her unspeakable existence. Like Iggy, Love’s had it in the ear before, and as the guitars crank, she gives you an earful: “Rock is dead”; you “can’t make a hooker come”; and God owes her a great song so she can show all these “brilliant boys”who’s boss. She sneers rhetorically, “Did ya miss me?!” The bitch is back.
And she’s just getting revved up. “But Julian, I’m a Little Bit Older Than You” is a hilariously horny rant about the fashion-conscious garage-rock scene (that should be subtitled “Stalking the Strokes”). Love vows to out-rock the cooler-than-thou swish kids — and succeeds — chanting “Gabba-gabba baby” and “Shut up!” until there’s a puddle of sweat on the floorboards. The musicians and producers who drive her here and elsewhere are a random crew: Barber, Pink- and Christina Aguilera-enabling Linda Perry, former Hole drummers Patty Schemel and Samantha Maloney, Tom Waits and PJ Harvey sideman Joe Gore, MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer, and Elton John lyricist Bernie Taupin, among others. But they do a specific job –giving Love a rugged, stable platform.
Gradually, the Day of the Locust hell ride slows. And on a pair of brutally earnest mid-tempo anthems — “Hold On to Me” and “Sunset Strip” (cowritten by Perry) –the album goes after your heart for real. On the former, Love offers herself up as shelter (“I am the center of the universe!”), but ends up shivering alone. The latter jangles, builds, and roars, cresting at the four-minute mark, when she finally unveils the million-dollar question: “Were you jerking off to her / Or were you jerking off to me?” Like all pop culture, Love always turns on you, and before long, the devil’s driving the car, he’s drunk, and she “don’t care which of you he fucks up.” Crying over Kurt, she air-guitars to “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” then solicits some wastoid in a Led Zep T-shirt.
At daybreak, there’s a power ballad as a reward for those who survive, but it’s really an ultimatum. This rock star takes her cut up-front. She’ll make you a punch line, then beg for your faith. She’ll bleed for your sins, but only when it suits her. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the Dorothy Parker of the Celebrities Uncensored era. | <urn:uuid:ca765d9e-c801-47dc-bc66-42d3041fa28c> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.spin.com/2004/03/courtney-love-americas-sweetheart-virgin/ | 2022-06-29T15:54:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103640328.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20220629150145-20220629180145-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.908721 | 1,184 |

Rapper Azealia Banks is planning to leak her long-awaited debut album online for free next month (Apr14) following repeated delays over its official release.
The 212 hitmaker's record Broke With Expensive Taste has been postponed several times since 2012 amid a feud with her record bosses at Universal, and in January (14), the 22 year old pleaded with label executives to let her go.
Taking to Twitter.com, she wrote, "I'm really in hell here. I've been gratefully riding off of mixtape fumes for the past two years. My fans really need some new music. Universal needs to just hand me over to another label who knows what to do with me. I'm tired of having to consult a group of old white guys about my black girl craft. They don't even know what they're listening for or to. Can someone at Sony buy me off of Universal please?? i'm really in hell here. I Really should have signed with Sony."
Now the rapper has risked the wrath of Universal chiefs once again, after deciding to release the music to fans herself.
She tweets, "Album leaks starting April 15th."
The announcement comes a week after Banks postponed her U.K. tour dates for the second time. | <urn:uuid:2ce825dd-2afc-4d95-8a62-52e35e36a7f5> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.contactmusic.net/azealia-banks/news/azealia-banks-vowing-to-leak-debut-album-online_4120782 | 2017-06-22T22:29:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319912.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622220117-20170623000117-00719.warc.gz | en | 0.977564 | 259 |
Ten Ways to Money After the Unemployment Benefits Run Out
You've been down so gosh darned long it looks like up to you, and now the unemployment checks are about to stop flowing and you're flirting with payday loans. This is where the ability to survive financially takes precedence over all the other stresses of unemployment. What to do?
Here are a few ideas. You may have to swallow your pride to execute some of them, but that's not a bad thing. Hey, it's survival, right?
- Hold a garage sale. This is a great way to clean out your closets and bring in some cash.
- If you don't have a garage (or even if you do and you have some treasures that you don't want to part with for pennies on the dollar) sell stuff on E-bay. If you can write decent copy and take a decent picture, you can sell almost anything. E-bay can be as much or as little work as you want it to be.
- Do stuff for other people. Make some fliers that say, "Hey, I lost my job and need to pick up a few bucks until I find another one. Will do (list of things you can do for them). Call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx." You'll find that people can be very kind. If you're at all handy, this could even end up being a real business. Dig deep and think of valuable services that you can provide. If you're good at sewing, offer yourself as a tailor. If you're a whiz with computers, offer yourself as a computer guru. If you've got a green thumb, offer to help people with their gardens. People always need things done.
- Recycle. You'd be amazed what people throw away. You can find all kinds of saleable goods in garbage cans: copper wiring, cans and bottles, even stuff that could be sold on E-bay. Hey, don't knock it; this might just be one of the most honorable ways of earning a buck if you really stop and think about it.
- Tell a joke or sing a song -- or both! If you can do anything remotely entertaining, you can probably find an audience for it. You might not become a big star (or you might) but you can probably pick up 50 bucks now and again. The beauty is that if you live in a city with a lot of cultural activities, you can usually busk on the street somewhere, and if you don't live in such a place, you can easily find an indoor gig because people stuck in cultural backwaters are hungry for things to do.
- Sell your car. Figure out how to do without it. Believe it or not, it can be done in almost any urban area or small town. I know because I've done without a car for most of my adult life, and I've lived in a lot of places. Getting rid of your car gives you an immediate boost in cash and a long-term financial gain in no longer having to pay for insurance, gas, repairs, etc. Cars are expensive, and it's surprisingly liberating to do without one.
- Find religion. Hey, this is about survival, right? Join a church or temple and make your situation known. You'll be surprised how supportive a community of faith can be. Try not to be a hypocrite, though. If you're an avowed atheist, see if your town has a Buddhist temple; you don't have to believe in God to be a Buddhist. If you
do believe in God, a veritable smorgasbord of options are available in the U.S. and most other industrialized countries.
- Downsize your life. You got downsized, and now you get to do the same to your lifestyle. Move to a small apartment. Drive a smaller car if you must drive. Shop at thrift stores or repair your clothes. Eat a Spartan and healthy diet consisting largely of dried beans and rice, vegetables, and spices arranged in creative and delicious ways.
- Sell your body. No, not the sex trade -- that's dangerous and may involve swallowing more than your pride. Researchers in psychology, sociology, and medicine are always looking for lab rats, and they'll pay you to participate in studies. You can also sell plasma in most cities. Hey, it's money in your pocket.
- Take surveys. Participating in market research surveys pays a little. You can make a couple bucks every day this way.
Well, I hope something on that list caused you to experience an "Aha!" moment. If not, brainstorm. You can probably come up with a few ideas I missed. If you have any such ideas, please register and post them in the comments below.
Good luck! You will survive! You have no choice.
PS -- Here's another post about business ideas for the unemployed that you might find useful or interesting. | <urn:uuid:f4f49806-6fa9-4ca5-bcba-d7e186ff1669> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.surviveunemployment.com/ten_ideas_on_surviving_unemployment_making_money | 2014-08-01T03:42:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510274289.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011754-00096-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964338 | 1,015 |
Adventures in Artsakh
It is not very easy for a sophisticated traveler to surprise with any natural beauties, extreme adventures, or exotic cuisine. Inviting you on a trip to a small republic, we still try to do it. The history of this region goes back to hoary antiquity. In this small mountainous country, you can climb the mountain peaks, go down into deep gorges, and taste the crystal clear waters of various springs. You will walk along the paths of virgin forests, swim along the rugged mountain rivers, and get acquainted with the generous, hospitable and peaceful inhabitants of the republic.
Artsakh offers many different types of outdoor activities for both beginners and experienced travelers: climbing, mountaineering; rafting; fishing; hiking, and horseback riding flights on airplanes, balloons, and paragliders; bike trips and tours on SUVs.
Off-road tours in Artsakh are a guaranteed dose of adrenaline and a lot of vivid impressions. You will have a real chance to drive along the stream of mountain rivers, overcome steep slopes and reach cloudy heights, from where you will get incredibly picturesque views. Experienced drivers serve off-road tours in Artsakh with many years of practice. If you wish, you can rent an SUV and get to your destination on your own. As part of the tourist routes on off-road vehicles, you can visit the sights of the republic, spend the night in guesthouses, taste the original dishes and drinks of each area and organize an outdoor picnic.
Artsakh is a country of fortresses and ancient monasteries, which can often be reached only by hiking trails, through alpine meadows, climbing high peaks, and passing through waterfalls sparkling from the sun. In Artsakh, there is a hiking tour “Janapar,” which is divided into one-day sections and passes through cities and villages. The route begins in the south of Hadrut and passes through the settlements of Togh, Azokh, Karmir-Shuka, Avetaranots, Karin to the town of Shushi, and further to the city of Stepanakert. Traveling takes about a week. The Janapar route includes attractions, one of which is the Hunot Canyon. Located at a depth of 300 m inside the cliff, Hunot covers clear springs, historical spots, steep cliffs, and real masterpieces of nature, including the famous Umbrella Falls. The trail is marked with distinctive signs that will help you navigate the area. The northern route of the Janapar Trail starts from Stepanakert and passes through the settlements of Patara, Kolatak, Gandzasar, Dadivank, Zuar, Karvachar, Tsar and ends in the city of Vardenis, Armenia. The ViewRanger app will help you along this route, which contains all localities of the journey from Hadrut to Vardenis. It is recommended to use GPS with busy roads and topographic maps posted on the Janapar Trail website.
Flying over Artsakh is a way to see its miracles from a bird's eye glimpse. Every year there is an air festival, "Artsakh Air Fest," which attracts people from different parts of the world. The festival is especially popular among fans of extreme types of vacation. The festival organizers offer flights on two-seater aircraft, paragliders, and balloons. Climbing to a height of over 400 m, you will discover marvelous landscapes that are not visible even from the highlands. At the festival, you can breathe the healing mountain air, meet the sunrise and spend the last ray of sunshine. Flights on two-seater aircraft are carried out in the direction of Shushi, Gandzasar, Tigranakert. Flight duration - 20 minutes, price - AMD 20,000. Flights are available on any day; you should only book a date and time in advance.
Another captivating variety of tourist vacation - fishing - will live up to your wildest expectations. Wooded mountains shrouded in fog, frosty morning freshness, incredible silence of nature - this is how fishing begins in Artsakh. Artsakh is rich in mountain rivers and lakes. The most attractive reservoirs for fishing are the Sarsang reservoir, the Tartar and Karkar rivers. It is home to more than 10 species of various fish, including trout. Also, you can enjoy the real Armenian khorovac (barbecue) in nature. The fishing season in Artsakh opens from the beginning of March and lasts until the end of October.
Endless trails, highland meadows, and rocks - we can say that Artsakh is a paradise for lovers of mountain bike trips. You can ride on steep hills, overcome water obstacles and green meadows, reach the tops of mountains, and “touch the sky.” Going on a bike ride in Artsakh, you should not be frightened of a lack of water, nature itself will treat you with pure spring water, and in the summer you can refresh yourself in the lakes and rest in green meadows under the sparkling sunshine. On the way, you will meet hospitable people from nearby villages, where you can stay if you wish. There are specially marked trails in Artsakh, and the “Mountain Bikers of Artsakh” community operates, which provides information on the bicycle routes of the republic. If desired, you can join a group of travelers. Thus, you will be guided by professional cyclists who plan an exciting and unforgettable route.
If you are fond of rafting, then the gorge of the river Tartaru will not leave you indifferent. Tartar is the largest and most full-flowing river in Artsakh, 184 km long, which flows through a gorge whose slopes are covered with dense forests. The river belongs to level 3 difficulty for rafting. Professional rafting tours are held here, and according to various reviews of tourists, the gorge of the river Tartar is one of the most fascinating and picturesque spots in Artsakh and Armenia. The canyon has thermal springs with natural stone pools. The best time for rafting on Tartarus is spring, in particular, May.
In the era of technology, people began to pay more attention to live movement. Along with this, horse campaigns started to develop in Artsakh. In 2019, a hippodrome was opened near the famous Hunot canyon, where horseback riding and hiking are also accompanied by specialists. Besides, in different villages, you can meet horse breeders who organize trips throughout Artsakh. This marvelous type of tourism allows you to fully merge into the astonishing world of wildlife, experiencing incredible sensations of extreme sports and harmony with the environment. | <urn:uuid:83fc7e29-f441-4061-badd-5539f647b875> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | http://artsakh.travel/en/things-to-do/adventure | 2021-01-19T03:20:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703517559.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210119011203-20210119041203-00120.warc.gz | en | 0.938797 | 1,382 |

LegislationThe section that covers this offence is section 41DB of the Summary Offences Act 1966:
Threat to Distribute Intimate Image
- A person (A) commits an offence if—
- A makes a threat to another person (B) to distribute an intimate image of B or of another person (C); and
- the distribution of the image would be contrary to community standards of acceptable conduct; and
- A intends that B will believe, or believes that B will probably believe, that A will carry out the threat.
- A person who commits an offence against subsection (1) is liable to level 8 imprisonment (1 year maximum).
- For the purposes of this section, a threat may be made by any conduct and may be explicit or implicit.1
Elements of the offenceThe court may find an accused guilty of this charge if the prosecution proves the following elements beyond reasonable doubt:
Element 1: The accused made a threat to another person (C) to distribute an intimate image of B or of another person (C)
An ‘intimate image’ is defined in s 40 of the Act as a moving or still image that depicts a person engaged in sexual activity; a person in a manner or context that is sexual; or the genital or anal region of a person or, in the case of a female, the breasts. ‘Genital or anal region’ means a person’s genital or anal region whether bare or covered by underwear. This definition is deliberately broad and is intended to cover any image which may be considered to be intimate.2
‘Distribute’ is defined in s 40 of the Act to include publish, exhibit, communicate, send, supply or transmit to any other person, whether a particular person or not; and make available for access by any other person, whether a particular person or not.
A threat may be made by any conduct and may be explicit or implicit.3
Element 2: The distribution of the image would be contrary to community standards of acceptable conduct; and
‘community standards of acceptable conduct’ is defined in s 40 of the Act as standards of conduct having regard to:
- The nature and content of the image;
- The circumstances in which the image was captured;
- The circumstances in which the image was distributed;
- The age, intellectual capacity, vulnerability or other relevant circumstances of a person depicted in the image; and
- The degree to which the distribution of the image affects the privacy of a person depicted in the image.
The prosecution must further prove that the accused intended that person B will or will probably believe that the accused will carry out their threat to distribute the image.
- The accused person did not make a threat.
- The images were not contrary to community standards.
Questions in cases like this
- What was the content of the images?
- Was it the accused who made the threat?
Maximum penalty for section 41DB of the Summary Offences Act 1966Threat to Distribute Intimate Image has a maximum penalty of 1 year imprisonment.
SentencingPleading guilty to Threat to Distribute an Intimate Image can attract a prison sentence because Courts view this offending as a breach of someone’s trust. This offending normally leads to a great deal of embarrassment for the complainant if the images are distributed to their family or work colleagues (DPP v Jackson Lade (a pseudonym) VSCA 264). The Court has other sentencing options available to it, such as a Community Correction Order, fine or Good Behaviour Bond. To increase your prospects of avoiding a prison sentence you must choose a lawyer who will prioritise doing the following:
- Finding other examples of this offence to distinguish your offending.
- Demonstrating your sincere remorse to the complainant by preparing you to give evidence from the witness box or write a letter of apology.
- Directing you to complete a Men’s Behaviour Change Program or counselling. This will address the underlying cause for your offending.

It's summer and everybody is on the beach. But you're stuck in bed – with a temperature and aching muscles. Do you have the flu?
No, your flu-like symptoms are most probably caused by another virus.
"In South Africa, we only see flu from about April to August/September. This varies from season to season and in different provinces," says Dr Craig Corcoran, clinical virologist at the University of Cape Town.
"Flu-like symptoms outside of this time are from another cause, usually another virus," he says. "There is no effective treatment for any other virus causing flu symptoms apart from flu."
Viruses that could be causing your symptoms include:
respiratory syncytial virus;
parainfluenza 1, 2 or 3; or

Nowadays, nearly everyone running a business online thinks about search engine optimization (SEO). There are countless blogs, videos, and even books that help to explain how to make your website better conditioned for this.
Without good SEO, your site might be hard to find. Even if your content is great, and even if you have the best enterprise network security products, you still need SEO.
One part of SEO that sometimes gets overlooked is the images. Of course, pictures are an essential part of any website for many different reasons – they break up walls of text, they can be interesting or attractive, they’re a way to add color and life to a page.
There are mountains of theory on how to create good images in terms of content and especially image design for marketing psychology. Here, though, we are going to look at how we can create good images in terms of search engine optimization.
SEO is an especially competitive field, which is why you should learn as much about it as you can. However, the great thing when teaching yourself is that everything you learn can be put into practice almost immediately.
That’s what we hope to provide here – some actionable tips that can optimize your website images for SEO. The tips below should be useful whether you’re a business intelligence analyst or a freelancer, so let’s get started.
Minimizing File Size
Images make up the bulk of the size of a website.
One key factor in search engine optimization is page load times. Google admits this, both for desktop and for mobile. The overall performance of a site improves its SEO ranking.
A mistake made by many sites is to ignore how large their images are, especially because they assume that most people are running on broadband or 4G. That’s a problem, because even though the site might load fast, others might load faster or have better performance generally.
You might find that a lack of communication between your image design team and developers has led to some large file sizes on images. Here are some things you can check.
#1. Choose the Right File Extension
There are generally three choices: GIF, JPG, and PNG. GIF only really has the advantage in absolute low file sizes, or as moving pictures, because the quality loss is noticeable.
As you can see on the images below, JPG and PNG have almost the same picture quality, but JPG is smaller. This makes JPG a superior choice for photographic images, but if you apply JPG to text, you can see what happens at the bottom of the image.
For images with typefaces, or infographics, use PNG. For photography, use JPG. Otherwise, your pretty typeface might end up looking like the example above.
A final point – do not mix text over photography or you will have to upload a photograph in PNG, which is inefficient for SEO purposes.
#2. Compress Images
Compression is really important to reducing the size of images that you host. Ideally, you want images to be under 100kb – if they’re too big, and you can’t cut the file size anymore, the best thing is to compress.
There are two excellent web services for compressing images. ImageOptim works best for JPG, and TinyPNG for PNG.
#3. File Dimensions
Make sure that the dimensions of your image are the same as the dimensions that it actually shows on the browser. For example, if the maximum width an image displays on a page is 640px, then your site will resize this image regardless of the overall dimensions.
This is fine if your image is 640px in width, but if it’s 9,600px, then your performance will suffer. Users will have to load a gigantic image only for it to be automatically resized anyway.
Go through your site and check the actual size of your images, then make sure they’re resized appropriately and reuploaded. You can work on SEO by making sure images are as small as they can be.
#4. Don’t Use Too Many Colors
More colors make a file much larger than it needs to be if those colors don’t really add anything to the image. This is true for photographs, illustrations, and infographics.
White space is especially effective at lowering load times and increasing performance, which is beneficial for SEO. Not every part of your website needs to be colored: you will notice in many modern websites there is a lot of blank white space.
There are a lot of things you can do with the file itself and its place in your website.
#5. File Names
It’s critical for SEO that you name your images according to keywords, rather than random strings like IMG_1701. The more descriptive your file names, the better. The names should be easy to understand both for a search engine algorithm and a person.
For example, if you are writing a blog post about WFO workforce optimization, name screenshots something like workforce_optimization_pro.png, or something even more descriptive like software_for_workforce_optimization.png.
It might take a little bit of work to rename all your files, but you could do it tomorrow, and it would improve your SEO. The more, the better: even your customer communications icons should have SEO-friendly file names if possible.
#6. File Structure
According to the new Google guidelines, the file paths are now important for SEO rankings. This means that the directories in your website ought to be named appropriately for the images within.
Don’t just put all your images in an /images or /media folder. Make separate directories for each category. So for example, if you want to store images for a page on inbound contact center software, consider putting them all in a directory like /software.
Like renaming the files, it might be a bit of work if your website is large, but it will immediately help your SEO ranking.
#7 Alt Text
Google puts a high value on alt text relative to its actual function. Rather than just leaving alt text blank or putting generic phrases like “picture” or “icon”, try to actually describe what the image is for or what’s happening in it.
Google takes information from that alt text and generates clues from it. Smart – but that means your alt text of “picture1.jpg” gives the search engine absolutely no useful information whatsoever.
Notice that even the icons on this blog about cloud based call center software have alt text named for SEO. The alt text on the icon reads Mailshake Sales & Marketing Blog which is an excellent way to get more keywords into your ranking.
Once again – a couple of lines of code and you can improve your SEO.
Good examples of alt text:
#8. Image Files on the Sitemap
Your site should have a sitemap, a file where information about your site, including its contents, pages, videos and images, and so on are stored. Google reads your sitemap in order to process your site more accurately, so if you haven’t put your image files on your sitemap, you should straight away.
The sitemap allows Google to index your images more efficiently by analyzing the relationship between content on a website. It also allows Google to “see” images that they won’t find directly from your pages. That means that if your customer service pages are all run by a script, the images will still be visible to Google if they’re in a sitemap.
WordPress’s Yoast plugin does this automatically, but if you need to do it manually, Google has instructions.
#9. Browser Cache
Browser caching is a way to increase your site’s performance. When you load a page for the first time, your browser has to download all the images – but, if it saves them to the cache, the next time you load the page there’s no need to download again.
This is important for performance, so important for SEO. Google’s PageSpeed Insight will even show you if it thinks browser caching can help you.
Some hosts like WordPress can do caching automatically (otherwise you’ll have to write the code in yourself).
Images As Content
Just like video improves experience, so do images. Images are a fundamental part of your website.
The content has to engage people, have a purpose, and make the experience better. It doesn’t work to simply place images with keywords in the URL. Even alt text has to be helpful.
The original purpose of alt text is to help visually impaired people or people with slow internet to understand what an image is about. For example, this website addressing the question of what does IVR stand for has alt text describing exactly what the images show: “employee taking a call from a customer” for instance.
If your content is good, people will visit your site. If the images are good, people will source them or go to them from search engines. That’s the bottom line.
These actionable tips to optimize your images can make your SEO ranking better, but they can’t make a bad website good. That’s up to you.

Castle, Chief Judge, Hastings, Senior Circuit Judge, and Kiley, Circuit Judge.
Defendant was convicted by the district court, without a jury, of willful failure to report to his draft board for civilian work after having been classified as a conscientious objector in class I-O.*fn1 He has appealed. We affirm.
After filing an initial classification questionnaire with his draft board, defendant executed and returned to the board a Special Form of Conscientious Objector. The board, following defendant's personal appearance before it, classified him I-A. He was subsequently classified I-O by the appeal board. He then met with the local board for a discussion of suitable civilian work to be substituted for military service. Later he was ordered to report for work in a hospital. He failed to report and was indicted, tried, and convicted. This appeal followed.
The issues before us are: (1) whether the civilian work order, as signed by the clerk of the board, is void as offending Selective Service Regulation 32 C.F.R. § 1604.59; (2) whether the order was not an order of the local board and thus violative of Section 1660.20(d); (3) whether there is basis in fact for the refusal to classify him IV-D, a minister of religion; (4) whether the board abused its discretion in refusing to reopen the I-O classification; and (5) whether the order issued at an unlawful time sequence and in violation of Section 1660.20(a), (b), (c) and (d).
Defendant's file contains a summary of the meeting held with the local board at which alternatives in civilian work were discussed. The minutes state that on February 13, 1967:
No agreement was reached between the registrant and the local board as to a type of civilian work that this registrant would perform in lieu of induction.
The local board determine that hospital work at Madison General Hospital was appropriate and available, and that the Director of Selective Service be requested to authorize the issuance of an order to the registrant to perform such work.
The clerk wrote the national director pursuant to the board's request. In a letter of April 25, 1967, the local board received authority from the national director to authorize the civilian work the board considered appropriate. The order to report thereafter issued, signed by the clerk, without a further meeting of the board to authorize the clerk to sign it.
Defendant initially contends that the order and his conviction based upon it are void because there was no proof in the record that the board authorized the clerk to sign this "official paper" under Section 1604.59.*fn2 In the absence of proof to the contrary, we believe the judicially recognized presumption in favor of the regularity of board proceedings defeats this contention of the defendant. It was incumbent upon the defendant to prove that the signing of the order by the clerk was an unauthorized action. United States v. Crowley, 405 F.2d 400, 403 (4th Cir. 1968), cert. denied, 394 U.S. 904, 89 S. Ct. 1011, 22 L. Ed. 2d 215 (1969); Rhyne v. United States, 407 F.2d 657, 660 (7th Cir. 1969).
A more substantial question is presented with defendant's second contention that the order to report for civilian work was in violation of Section 1660.20(d) because the local board did not meet, with the approval of the Director of the Selective Service, "to order the registrant to report for civilian work."*fn3
Defendant relies on Brede v. United States, 396 F.2d 155 (9th Cir. 1968) (Brede I), which held that, in order to comply with Section 1660.20(d), a local board, after receiving authorization from the national director, should then meet and order the registrant to report for civilian work. However, Brede was subsequently modified in a per curiam opinion (400 F.2d 599 (9th Cir. 1968)) (Brede II) which stated that though the order must specify the civilian job, the meeting resulting in the order need not be held after the director's approval. The modified opinion recognized as meritorious the contention that a board's recommendation following the meeting with the registrant required by Section 1660.20 may constitute an implied order to report, subject to the national director's approval, if the record discloses that the action of the board comports with its usual administrative construction and practice. Defendant argues that Brede I is the proper decision, but that even on the basis of Brede II his conviction should be reversed, since there was no evidence in the record of the administrative construction and procedure of the local boards in Wisconsin.
Since submission of briefs and oral argument in this case, two important developments have occurred which shed light on the issue now being discussed. This court in the consolidated cases, Hestad v. United States, and Cupit v. United States, 418 F.2d 1063, (1969), dealt with a situation where the facts were virtually the same as those before us. The court decided to follow Brede II as the correct interpretation of Section 1660.20(d). It determined that the essential element in both Brede decisions is that the local board must deliberate upon and approve a reasonably definite proposition ordering the registrant to report for civilian work. On the facts before it, this court set aside the district court findings that there was insufficient evidence in the record that the boards engaged in the "critical exercise of administrative judgment" required by Brede II.
The only factual difference between Hestad and Cupit and the case before us now is that in those cases, in addition to the minutes of the board meeting, there was supplemental testimony that the boards involved followed the administrative practice of all local boards in the state of Wisconsin with respect to the procedure applied ... | <urn:uuid:50b86cc5-3874-4eda-869f-c156dd8d6e7e> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://il.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19691217_0040014.C07.htm/qx | 2018-02-21T21:33:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891813803.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20180221202619-20180221222619-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.962591 | 1,242 |

Paget-Schroetter syndrome is the spontaneous thrombosis of the axillary/subclavian vein. A 16-year-old male presented with acute onset of right upper limb swelling after vigorous weight training. A venogram confirmed the diagnosis of Paget–Schroetter syndrome. He was started on intravenous thrombolytics followed by oral anticoagulation therapy. His symptoms resolved and he was symptom free at six-month follow-up. Thrombolytics and anticoagulation is the most widely accepted first-line therapy for this syndrome. Defining any anatomical anomaly as the predisposing factor in this condition is essential in the selection of which patients will benefit from thoracic outlet decompression.

Uber Driver ‘Abducted Female Passenger and Raped Her’ in Upscale Virginia Neighborhood
An Uber driver accused of raping a female passenger at an upscale Virginia neighborhood over the weekend has been arrested, police said.
Sewanou Bisile Yoro, of Norfolk, picked up the woman between 9:34 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Saturday in Bay Colony near the Oceanfront neighborhood where he allegedly assaulted her inside the cab, police said, WTKR-TV reported.
The 34-year-old has been charged with abduction, rape, aggravated and sexual battery after police arrested him Monday.

His preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 4.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On behalf of the U.S. Agency for International Development, I join President Obama in extending my heartfelt condolences to the family of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and to the people of Ethiopia. Under Prime Minister Meles’ leadership, Ethiopia made strides in advancing food security, economic growth, health, and education. Prime Minister Meles was a key driver in the development of comprehensive agricultural and economic development plans in Ethiopia and throughout East Africa that have contributed to broad-based growth in agriculture, industry, and services. Just last year, 7.5 million people withstood a devastating drought without the need of emergency food aid because of the progress made by the Ethiopian Government’s Productive Safety Net Program. Recently, Ethiopia further strengthened its international engagement in this area by entering into the G-8 New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a collaborative effort that will reinforce Prime Minister Meles’ desire to lift millions of Ethiopians out of poverty. USAID remains committed to supporting this alliance and to carrying on the Prime Minister’s legacy of progress in securing a healthier, more prosperous future for the people of Ethiopia.

Oil boilers are one of the most efficient for residential heating. The boiler basically consists of a burner and fuel tank. Once the burner has heated to the desired level, it transfers the heat into the boiler to heat the water. This produces steam which is then distributed throughout the house via a network of pipes, vents, and radiators. Oil burners tend to be more efficient and reliable than the electric type. However, even oil-fuelled boilers do develop problems from time to time. Below is a guide to help you troubleshoot.
1. Oil Boiler Doesn’t Start
First thing you want to do is check your tank for availability of oil. You may have run out and not realized. If you’ve run out of oil, arrange for delivery from your oil supplier. It is also possible that the circuit breaker has tripped. Press the “Reset” button to fire up the boiler again. This is usually a square red button on the side of the burner. It should start after a couple of tries. However if it fails, you could check the fuse. Replace the fuse if it appears to have blown. If the boiler still doesn’t start, check the motor on the burner assembly as it may have burned out. Should this be the case, arrange for a replacement.
2. Boiler Starts but Doesn’t Heat
A clogged burner nozzle may be responsible for this. The nozzle has an extremely tiny opening that could get clogged with mineral deposits or dirt. Change the nozzle and see if the boiler will heat. It is also possible that your fuel may be contaminated with dirt and water. As oil is being pumped into the tank you’ll need to shut the furnace off for about an hour. This will allow dirt to settle at the bottom of the tank. You should also ensure that the tank is topped off with fuel. This will keep the sediments at the bottom from being disturbed as much as infrequent fill-ups do. To check for presence of water in the tank, apply some water-sensitive paste onto a long stick. Dip into the tank. If it indicates water, you’ll have to drain the tank and inspect it for cracks. Arrange to repair all cracks.
3. Boiler Produces Smoke and Soot
This may be traced to a clogged flue pipe or cracked heat exchanger. Check the flue pipe, especially where it connects to the chimney. Clear any dirt and debris that may have clogged the pipe. Check the gaskets around the inspection door. If they are warped or you detect cracks, this allows heat and smoke to escape from the furnace. You need to replace faulty gaskets.
4. Insufficient Heat from the Registers
The problem could be a dirty air filter. Trace the air filter and check if it is clogged. A build-up of flint on the filter impedes air flow. It is possible that your fan belt may have broken. This needs to be replaced. If the fan belt is in good condition, check the supply air fan. It may have burned out and needs to be replaced. If your clothes dryer is close to the boiler, it is best to change its location. Dryers produce a lot of airborne lint which could contribute to a build-up of flint in your boiler air filter. | <urn:uuid:d7e1ab92-be26-43c6-8d15-865b6ba5d2d7> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.doityourself.com/stry/troubleshooting-oil-boilers | 2021-04-16T08:53:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038088731.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20210416065116-20210416095116-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.951459 | 696 |
'Sadness and desperation - resilience and bravery'
- 10 October 2014
- From the section Health
BBC global health reporter Tulip Mazumdar shares her experiences from Ebola-stricken Sierra Leone, where UK aid workers will soon be joining the race to stem this deadly disease outbreak.
Day five: The people vs Ebola
Today we're heading into a village just outside Freetown for what's called "community sensitisation". This is about telling people what Ebola is, how to spot it and how to stop it spreading.
We drive down a mud road into a valley where wooden and tin shacks line a small stream. It's a very poor area. We watch women washing clothes in the water, while men wash and shine their motorcycles further upstream.
Save the Children has trained dozens of local volunteers to help deliver important messages about Ebola to this community. Around 50 meet at the local health clinic (the home of a nurse who's converted half her house into a health centre).
When I arrive, they burst into song. "Welcome, Welcome, Welcome" they bellow out with huge smiles across their faces.
This village, thankfully, hasn't had any Ebola cases so far. But our team has to be very careful. Lots of people gather and there's plenty of jostling.
We have to be extra careful not to bump into anyone. Our biosecurity advisor Mac pulls at my backpack and gently removes me from an excited crowd.
This community is well informed about Ebola. The volunteers have been here before and are following up to see whether people are taking their advice. Children run over and show me how they wash their hands properly, rubbing in-between their fingers.
One woman shouts from her house: "DO NOT TOUCH DEAD BODIES". Her son follows with: "IF SOMEONE IS SICK, TAKE THEM TO HOSPITAL."
They are well drilled and it seems this crucial knowledge is helping keep Ebola away from this community, for now.
The community nurse Joyce asks for a photo with our team and her staff. We gather around, all the time everyone shouting and laughing: "No touching, no touching!"
It's midnight, and it's time to head back to the UK. We make the boat journey back from Freetown to Lunghi airport. Washing my hands with chlorine has almost become second nature now, as is standing in line waiting for my temperature to be checked.
The aircraft we board has come with passengers from Liberia. The pilot and the aircrew are all wearing latex gloves. So far, all exported cases from West Africa have arrived into other countries on planes like this one.
It's a sobering thought. My temperature is checked for a final time before I am allowed to board. 36.4C (97.5F).
It's been a tough trip. I've seen so much sadness and desperation, but I've also seen great resilience, dedication, kindness and bravery.
Day four: Live from the Ebola front line
It's an early start today to begin editing the material we've gathered over the past few days. There are lots of different global and UK-based programmes across BBC News, on radio, TV and online, and we want to get the stories from the people we've spoken to out across as many of them as possible.
We set up our live position on the roof of our hotel. Trying to do live reporting from outside the hotel is much more risky because of how widespread Ebola has now become. We don't want crowds gathering around us. Our bio-security adviser, Mac, checks our location is safe, and we set up.
It's been so hectic these past few days, but as I'm getting ready for my first live broadcast, at 17:00 on the BBC News channel, I find a moment to look behind me and take in the incredible view of this beautiful city. I see lush forested hills curving around the gentle Atlantic ocean. The calm doesn't last long though as clouds gather and a storm brews.
After a few false starts and dropping off live programmes mid-sentence because of heavy rain and thunder, our satellite signal comes back, and we're off.
Then soon after 18:00, just as one of the BBC World presenters is about to introduce me live, my producer, Mark, runs over and tells me some terrible news. Francis Samuka, whom we watched being turned away from a treatment centre yesterday, has died. His family has called and told us he passed away at an isolation centre a few hours ago. His sister could barely speak when she was delivering the news, she was wailing with sorrow. My heart sinks... and then I hear the presenter in my earpiece saying: "Tulip, what's the latest?"
I explain what's happened, all the time thinking of Francis' bloodshot eyes and the look of despair I saw in him just the day before.
I am glad we were able to tell Francis Samuka's story. It's important people know this is happening on a daily basis across West Africa. It underlines why governments here and global aid agencies continue to plead for more international help, so patients like Francis can be treated, instead of being turned away.
Day three: Desperation and hope
We've been told about a small Italian non-governmental organisation called Emergency that has very recently set up a new treatment centre just outside the capital, so we're heading there today.
When we pull up, we see a carload of people looking angry and desperate. We stay close to our vehicle - keeping our distance - but shout over to them and ask what's wrong.
"My brother Francis is sick, and they won't take him at this centre. They say they are full. What are we supposed to do? We've been travelling from hospital to hospital all day and no-one will take him."
I peer into the car. Francis is sitting in the passenger seat staring into space. His eyes are red, and he has the hiccups - both are clear symptoms of Ebola. After almost an hour of pleading, the family eventually give up. The five of them pile back into their car and drive away. Everyone in that vehicle is now potentially at risk of catching Ebola.
When we enter the treatment centre, I feel the helplessness and frustration of that family and I demand to know why they didn't allow that potentially dying man inside. Surely they can do something for him. The centre's co-ordinator, Luca Rolla, tells me their priority has to be their staff and the patients they are already treating. He tells me that they cannot go over capacity or they risk everyone else inside the centre. One of their doctors has already contracted the virus and is now being treated in Germany.
It's an impossible choice for these medics, and my frustration quickly pales in comparison to theirs. Luca has taken the family's details and if a bed becomes free anywhere in or around Freetown, he will let them know.
Luca tells me, what's needed right now is more international medics and training of local medics, and more isolation centres. Until then - he says - he will have to continue turning patients away, knowing full well they risk going back into the community and infecting yet more people.
While we're filming, Luca's phone rings, he picks up, smiles and waves us over. He's just had some news that a bed has become available at another centre for the family he had to turn away. He calls them immediately and tells them to go straight there.
Then we see another glimmer of hope. Three young girls are sitting patiently on stools in matching purple sarongs - just beyond the orange protective gates. They have survived Ebola and are getting ready to go home.
Day two: The gravediggers
Today we are filming at the country's main referral hospital - Connaught Hospital in central Freetown. As we enter, I see a woman in a purple and pink shirt lying on a bench, with her head in her hands. She looks extremely unwell. This area is where patients showing symptoms of Ebola come for help, but the help is limited.
This isn't a treatment centre; it's an isolation ward within the hospital. People have to travel many miles from here by ambulance to get proper supportive treatment. There are just 18 beds in this hospital, and they are all full.
The latest patient to arrive is a one-month-old baby. Ebola killed both his parents overnight. The chances are he is also infected and will die within days. All medics can do is feed him and hold him through protective suits. I am reminded of my trip to Guinea a couple of months back, when I was covering this outbreak. Back then, I watched the body of a four-month-old baby lowered into the ground. Ebola also killed his mother. It's heart-breaking to imagine the most likely outcome for this other tiny baby.
As we are leaving the hospital, a black truck pulls up. The burial team is here to remove two bodies and bury them in the nearby cemetery. We watch and then follow the makeshift hearse to these victims' final resting place.
A whole area is cordoned off just for suspected and confirmed Ebola victims. Walking into it is eerie and tragic. There are hundreds of graves, most dug very recently, with fresh mounds of mud on top of them. One or two have a cross or children's toys scattered on them. Most, though, are unmarked. What hits me is the sheer scale - 400 bodies buried here in a matter of weeks.
The burial team is efficient and almost jovial. I imagine it's the only way they can keep performing this grim task day in, day out. The cemetery supervisor, Abdul Rahman Parker, tells me he's been ostracised by his community - people are scared of him now because he handles the bodies of Ebola victims. But he says he doesn't care, and that Sierra Leone needs him to continue doing this job, even if its people don't realise it.
The day ends with the burial teams throwing their protective clothing - gloves, masks and body suits - into the last grave. It's starting to rain again. We remove our protective suits and put them in a yellow biohazard bag, which the burial team disposes of. We spray ourselves with disinfectant, and silently head back to our hotel.
Day one: Welcome to Freetown
It's pitch black when we arrive at Lunghi airport at 01:00 local time, and the rain is coming down heavily. The journey, which before this outbreak took six hours from London, has taken us 20 hours. No airline flies direct to Sierra Leone from the UK anymore, so we have two stopovers - one in Paris and one in Casablanca.
Not that we were in any doubt, but it doesn't take long to establish all is far from well in Sierra Leone.
Before we're allowed into the main terminal building, we are ushered towards two large red containers filled with chlorine. Everyone silently adheres to washing their hands before entering. We're immediately handed "health declaration" forms asking us - among other things - where we've travelled in the past eight weeks and whether we are suffering with fever, diarrhoea or vomiting.
We're also given a leaflet explaining what Ebola is and how it spreads. Disturbing animations show cartoon people squatting, passing blood in their urine and faeces. Similar posters are plastered all through the arrivals hall.
We pass through immigration - but before we are allowed to claim our baggage, men in gloves and white coats stop us again.
One of the men gives me a big, reassuring smile and then places a temperature gauge a few inches from my head. He says: "36.5 degrees: you can pass."
Our driver meets us at arrivals. I instinctively go to shake his hand and then immediately withdraw. He smiles and pats his chest instead - this is the new Sierra Leone handshake. "Welcome to Freetown," he says.

PLAINFIELD — Gov. Chris Christie took his message of education reform to a breakfast this morning honoring the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"There are generations of our children who have lived with our failure and with us assuaging our guilt by just throwing more and more money at the problem and be unwilling to fix what really needs to be fixed," Christie said.
Christie talked about creating hope among children that would bring an end to urban violence and drug problems through better education.
"I truly believe if Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were with us today, as he worked toward economic opportunity and voting rights and civil rights, he would recognize it's education opportunity which is defining how we bring hope to this next generation of our citizens," Christie said.
Christie has been pushing his education reform since he unveiled a multi-part proposal in September. Included in his proposal are measures to eliminate teacher tenure, which he says will improve education across the board by allowing districts to fire bad teachers.
Christie tied his message of better education to stemming violence and helping people get out of poverty. While his town hall meetings, generally in rural and suburban parts of the state, tend to highlight the economic benefits of improving education, his message in Plainfield was about changing the socioeconimic problems facing the state's urban residents.
"There are tough things to be done and they need to be done for places like this one," Christie said. "They need to be done for our children who want a future where their aspirations and their dreams can be obtained." | <urn:uuid:cee0ff64-2f94-41c0-85ec-cdde1061699b> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/01/gov_christie_pushes_education.html | 2014-11-23T03:56:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400379063.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123259-00149-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982702 | 320 |
Emergency services rushed to a van fire in a Lincolnshire village.
The fire gutted the van, which was in a public car park, causing 100 per cent damage.
Crews used two hose reel jets and breathing equipment to extinguish the fire.
One Kirton resident caught the aftermath of the fire on camera.
He said the van was parked in the car park by the Town Hall in the village.
He added: "It has been completely destroyed. It looks like the fire may have started in the engine as that has been completely burnt out.
"I don’t believe anyone was injured. One man told me the smoke from the fire was unbelievable. He said he thought it was a house fire until he came out of his home and saw the van."
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue confirmed that the cause of the fire was an unknown fault in the engine bay.
Lincolnshire Police confirmed that they were not investigating the fire for arson.
Another local resident said: "It was a bit of a shock pulling into the car park to see the van parked there completely burnt out.
"It looked pretty nasty, I just hope that it wasn't started deliberately." | <urn:uuid:0ec38aa1-f873-4524-9e65-72fbd8b0b8c8> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/local-news/van-completely-destroyed-fire-village-1096113 | 2019-07-17T16:32:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525355.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717161703-20190717183703-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.986735 | 245 |

My Approach to Helping
I believe that while you are the expert in your own life, that I can help you to expand your picture of the problem and to find new possibilities for change.

Monte Paschi scandal menaces frontrunner in Italy election
ROME (Reuters) - A growing bank scandal in Italy on Friday threatened to hurt both the centre-left frontrunners and outgoing premier Mario Monti, as a survey suggested that next month's election could usher in new instability.
The poll by the Piepoli Institute in La Stampa newspaper indicated the centre-left would fail to win control of the Senate, preventing it forming a stable government without outside help.
Centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani is widely expected to seek an alliance with Monti if he falls short in the Senate, which has equal power to the lower house in approving laws.
Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS), the world's oldest bank, which is already seeking a 3.9 billion euro ($5.2 billion) government bailout, this week revealed losses on complex financial instruments that could cost it as much as 720 million euros, unleashing a major scandal that is playing into the election campaign.
The bank's biggest shareholder is a charitable foundation controlled by politicians of the Democratic Party (PD), the biggest group in the centre-left alliance.
"There will certainly be a negative effect on the Democratic Party," said Maurizio Pessato, the vice chairman of rival pollster SWG. "The question is whether it will be temporary and how intense it will be."
The idea that part of the revenue from big tax hikes imposed by the outgoing technocrat government could be used to rescue a bank is toxic for both the PD and Monti, who is also standing in the election, Pessato said.
"Much of the Italian population sees Monti as someone connected to the financial world. The man on the street will see this as Monti's world, and imagine he is involved."
Politicians rushed to exploit the scandal.
"This stinks of bribes," said Northern League leader Roberto Maroni. "Monti gave MPS 4 billion euros and he must explain why ... He cannot avoid the responsibility he has in this disaster, him and only him."
The League is part of a centre-right alliance led by former premier Silvio Berlusconi that is fighting to rob the centre-left of control of the Senate.
In a radio interview, Monti also sought to use the scandal for political reasons, saying the centre-left was implicated.
"The Democratic Party is involved in this affair," Monti said. "I'm not here to attack Bersani ... these problems stem from the ugly beast that is the blend of banking and politics."
The Piepoli poll on Friday said the centre-left would win the lower house, but saw Berlusconi's centre-right taking the key regions of Sicily, Lombardy and Veneto in the Senate race.
The centre-left's lead was less than five points in a further three regions, the survey said. A split result would make it difficult for the government to pass legislation in a bi-cameral system where laws have to go through both houses.
Pessato said he expected the scandal to be reflected in a poll by SWG due early next week.
A survey by Pessato's company taken last Wednesday showed the centre-left leading on 34.1 percent - a small increase over the week before - against 26.6 percent for the centre-right and 12.8 for Monti's centrist coalition, which is so far failing to gain the traction it hoped for against its rivals.
Pessato said the Monte dei Paschi scandal could boost support for the Northern League, a consistent critic of Italian banks, and for the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, whose leader Beppe Grillo has called for MPS to be nationalised.
Grillo attended an angry meeting of Monte dei Paschi shareholders on Friday and joined a chorus of demands for the management to step down.

Nate Quinn has spent his entire professional career following humpback whales around the ocean, trying to find out exactly why the males sing. He’s currently in Hawaii, where the whales spend the winter, still researching. His world is rocked on the day that he is taking pictures of one singer and sees BITE ME clearly written across the whale’s tail. Did he imagine it? Was it there? Surely he got a picture of it. He heads back in to get his film developed, only to find that someone has completely trashed his lab. So begins a lot of inexplicable events.
Oh my gosh. I’m pretty sure Fluke just replaced A Dirty Job as my favorite Moore novel, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s because I listened to Fluke.
I have never been interested in audio books. I don’t take things in all that well just by listening. I’ve tried them a time or two, and while I found them interesting at the time, I never had any desire to turn the book back on and finish it. Then, about 6 months ago, I realized how much my new job was eating into my reading time. Out of desperation, I tried an audio book during my commute, and I haven’t looked back. I’m now one of those people who sits in my driveway listening to my book, because I have to know what happens next.
Still, the printed word is my first love.
I wasn’t too sure about this narrator, Bill Irwin, at first. His voice was a little dry. It didn’t seem to fit Moore’s laugh-out-loud, over-the-top, usually raunchy humor. Oh, but I was wrong. Somehow it was even funnier. I would be driving along, something outrageous would come out of this guy’s mouth, and I’m looking around, “What? Really? He did not just say that.” And then I’d start laughing like a crazy person alone in my car. Or, my favorite was when I was mowing our yard, which seems bigger every time I mow it, dripping sweat as I pushed our mower along, and just howling with laughter. Miracles happen every day.
Kona was probably my favorite character. He’s a Rastafarian stoner who acts like he’s a native Hawaiian when he’s really a white boy from New Jersey with some ridiculous name like Spencer. (Nothing against Spencer, but Spencer and Kona are worlds apart). I loved Irwin’s voice for him. Just perfect. I was worried that I wouldn’t understand it when I first heard it, but I quickly got the hang of it. He slips in and out of the Rasta-talk with ease. When Kona learns that they eat kitties in China, he is crushed. “Kitties? Cute kitties?” You can hear the tremble in his voice and so picture his lip trembling as well. Poor burned-out Kona with his big heart.
Now, the story.
The story came within a fingernail width of going over the top for me. I seriously considered making a “crazy_shit” shelf on Goodreads and putting all Moore’s books on it, with this one being the craziest of the crazy shit. The first half is fine. And then–. And then. Wow. I had to consciously decide to just let go and let Moore take me where he wanted to. I’ve only been disappointed in one of his books so far (Fool, if you’re curious), so I thought if I could just reserve judgment, I probably wouldn’t regret it. I obviously don’t. It was so close though. I can see how some people would just hate this one.
If you’re brave enough to let go and enjoy the ride, I do recommend Fluke, especially on audio. It has been a while since I’ve laughed as much at a book.

Backroads’ multisport loop through Bryce, Grand Canyon, and Zion National Parks is the ideal family primer to the American Southwest. The all-hike-and-bike itineraries quickly get you into the high-desert landscape beneath hoodoos and rock spires—and except for a few shuttle points, you’re on your own power the whole way.
Day one takes you directly to the Grand Canyon, where you’ll camp right on the North Rim. Kids ride mules along the edge of the canyon while adults can opt to descend into its depths on a windy nine-mile (14-kilometer) hike down the Kaibab Trail. Next, a Backroads van will leapfrog you on to another park: Bryce Canyon, where you’ll hike out from a maze of arches, walls, and pinnacles to Inspiration and Bryce Points. Then join a 33-mile (53-kilometer) out-and-back biking trip through blue spruce and Douglas fir forests to Rainbow Point, Bryce’s highest lookout, at 9,115 feet (2,778 meters).
“We have terrific van support,” says marketing manager Lee Micheaux. “So older kids can pedal ahead, and younger ones can shuttle out to the Point and ride back.” Then it’s on to Zion, where you’ll wade into the inner gorge of the Virgin River, with canyon walls jutting up 1,000 feet (300 meters). If your clan’s not up for camping, nights are spent traveling from inn to inn—where a massage or a swim in the hotel pool is on the roster.
Where to Play
“There’s always an option kids can do easily,” says Micheaux, and parents choose between mellow and more intense activities. While kids do an eight-mile (13-kilometer) pedal from Bryce toward Red Canyon, adults can make theirs up to 49 miles (79 kilometers). Kids spend their final day scrambling slots at Water Canyon. While youngsters rappel down canyon walls, adults can tackle steep climbs to Angels Landing, a sheer rock wedge looming 1,500 feet (457 meters) above the valley floor.
At Day's End
“For a mother, it’s like heaven,” says Micheaux. “The guides do everything!” While guides set up camp, cook dinner, and organize games, parents sit back with a cold brew. One night is set aside for staff to take kids into town for pizza, while grown-ups hang back for an adults-only fireside dinner.

I wonder about the increased power dissipation for the power supplies and the processor. Will this help with overall power but at the expense of chip heating? I do like the reduced parts count, lowered cost and reduced board space!
Conservation of energy rules. Power dissipated on chip is the nergy previously dissipated on board. It might even be less as Haswell got its own internal power management scheme. Peak power might be the same, but average consumption might be less. And a s previously mentionned, with less headaches for integration. Intel address more the retailer than the consumer.
This really reduces headache for a system designer by limiting the number of external voltage supplies to two. But not sure how it helps for low power consumption for the chip, since, now the voltage regulators are included in the package...may be those are more optimized to get max efficiency in all different operating conditions?
Intelís Haswell puts more analog inside
Maybe Intel is persuing mixed signal foundry business....
Microsemi Corporation engages in the design, manufacture, and marketing of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) and semiconductors primarily in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Its products include radio frequency (RF) and power components, analog and RF ICs, standard and customizable system-on-chip solutions, and mixed-signal and radiation-tolerant field programmable gate arrays. | <urn:uuid:7419f834-119f-4dee-9cf2-43e41ed52ce0> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.eetimes.com/messages.asp?piddl_msgthreadid=41665&piddl_msgid=254397 | 2015-01-31T18:07:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422120928902.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124173528-00028-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.930417 | 289 |

This lovely pattern was on my computer for a long time and now I found the perfect project for it. I wanted to make a bag for clothes-pins for my daughter. I stitched little Lulu in backstitches and gave her some highlights in her hair by whipping the backstitch with a slightly different yellow. Then I sewed the bag on my mother’s 50 year old sewing machine, because mine doesn’t work any more! This machine only has a straight stitch, but that was enough for this project. There’s a bigger photo of little Lulu on my Flickr-page. | <urn:uuid:b1733fe1-5efc-4a64-ad06-9e65f621631d> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://fat-quarter.blogspot.com/2010/02/little-lulu.html | 2015-01-31T16:05:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122152935.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175552-00023-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964542 | 133 |
NORWICH — Over the past three years, the Emancipation Proclamation Commemorative Committee has worked out every detail of its $225,000 bell construction project to mark Norwich’s role in opposing slavery 150 years ago.
But even the committee’s most ardent planners had to smile at the coincidence that the project’s grand finale — the installation of a tower to house the bell — came amid a government shutdown.
“The soul of the American people are not shut down, and the values of this country when it was founded are still in the hearts of citizens,” Friends of Norwich Bells president Kevin Harkins said. “This is momentous. I think it’s big deal for the people of the city, but also the country.”
Harkins was among a small gathering on a specially built concrete plaza in front of City Hall Wednesday evening to celebrate the David Ruggles Freedom Tower, a 17 ˝-foot, 1,300 pound stainless steel structure designed by New London-based Barun Basu Associates.
Officials will formally dedicate the plaza during an Oct. 19 ceremony. A 250-pound “Freedom Bell” hangs from the top of the tower. It was cast at Howard T. Brown Memorial Park in the summer of 2011 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation — the only bell of its kind in the nation.
“It’s one thing to have a rendering, but to see it in steel and bronze is just incredible,” City Historian and committee chairman Dale Plummer said of the tower.
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln as an executive order on Jan. 1, 1863, and abolished slavery in the Confederacy. Slavery did not become formally outlawed until the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865, however.
Norwich prided itself on siding with Lincoln’s pronouncement to outlaw slavery in southern states. And on Jan. 1, 1863, then Mayor James Lloyd Greene ordered cannons to be fired and bells rung to hail the proclamation becoming law. Greene personally paid for the gunpowder used.
“To have it (the bell) here in the city and have it at City Hall is important and beautiful,” Harkins said. “And as major as it is now, I think its importance will continue as a site of repose and education.”
Crews from Cincinnati-based The Verdin Co., which in the summer of 2011 cast a 250-pound bell housed in the tower, spent much of Tuesday installing the tower that is named for David Ruggles, a prominent black anti-slavery activist whose family moved to Norwich in the early 1800s.
By next week, a black granite marker engraved with the proclamation will be on site. The work is being done at no cost by Norwich-based Tri-County Memorials, officials said on Tuesday.
Plummer said the tower’s unique design of arches and a circle was chosen carefully.
“Martin Luther King said, ‘the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,’ and certainly the Emancipation Proclamation was an act of justice,” he said.
The committee is drafting a use policy for the bell that they will forward to the City Council for approval, but it is expected to ring on special occasions.
In November 2012, the City Council lent the committee $100,000 to help pay for construction costs, which was refunded as part of a $2.3 million surplus in state probate court dollars.
Residents who walked along Broadway on Tuesday said they were impressed with the tower.
“It’s a wonderful project,” resident Joe Brown said. “I love Norwich’s history, and this is a very important part of it.”
Evie Armstrong, 9, eagerly waited for Plummer and Harkins to ring the bell using a remote control.
“It stands out,” she said. “It’s pretty and makes the building look even better.” | <urn:uuid:d2913f77-a7d7-4e7c-bd51-fa0f1f2216f1> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.norwichbulletin.com/article/20131009/NEWS/131009640 | 2017-11-17T17:53:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934803848.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20171117170336-20171117190336-00293.warc.gz | en | 0.961563 | 874 |
Being a full time nanny, I read an astronomical amount of Children’s books! Robert Sabuda pop-ups are my favorite. His attention to detail is amazing; you can even see furniture inside the pop-up house of Alice in Wonderland! And the Emerald City Castle in The Wizard of Oz, comes with 3D glasses! Each page is a work of art. These books will blow you away! Paper Engineer Robert Sabuda is a pioneer in the field of Children’s Pop-Up Books. Since 1994, when he published his first title “The Christmas Alphabet,” Sabuda has not only been pushing the envelope and raising the bar in pop-up publishing, but he has virtually created his own genre. Though there are certainly other pop-up books being published, very few can compete with the sophisticated engineering of Sabuda’s work.

Established Law Firm Represents Emergency Service Providers
Both publicly operated and privately owned emergency service providers assume great risks in their daily operations.
Police departments, firefighting organizations, ambulance services and emergency medical providers often work in fluid and fast-changing situations that involve trauma and danger. Their vehicles often rush Code 3 to the scenes of accidents and violent situations. Heavy equipment and humans in perilous conditions interact, often in ordinary city environments, with motor vehicles and pedestrians.
Emergency Response Situations Sometimes Result In Unexpected Legal Problems For Responders
Inevitably, secondary accidents occur from time to time, such as when motorists fail to yield to a fire truck or ambulance responding Code 3 to an emergency situation. Sometimes Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support treatment is simply not enough to preserve life or limb. These are just a couple of examples of emergency response circumstances that lead to legal problems that we handle.

This is the concept that gave rise to the 4 trends themes in Collection Trends 18/19 representing a juxtaposition of contrasting designs, color shades, surfaces and textures.
Sometimes perfect harmony is achieved when contrasts meet.
A selection uniting intensive, pastel and monochrome colors; dark and light woodgrains; sophisticated marbles, stones and metals available in differing textures – from rough slate and high gloss to soft touch and subtle matt.
Acrylic Gloss designs
Let inspiration come naturally
Create a natural, soothing and comfortable ambience that affects peace of mind and appeals to the eye. Influenced by pure nature and organic living. Natural timbers from pale grey to dark brown adding warmth and coziness. Rustic lunar stone designs that usher back the harmony with earth. Green details and organically inspired colors bringing serenity and more balance to any interior design.
A style that speaks volumes
Inspired by raw and expressive woods with a strong tactile appearance. Revealing the gorgeous imperfections of knots and grains. Accompanied by a sleek dark grey marble design, enhanced with spots of lighter grey in soft round patterns. Expressive radiates richness, and invokes notions of high-end living and affluence.
Where function creates the form
Industrial is all about utility and functionality - wood, concrete, steel and neutral colors are a must. A juxtaposition of rough surfaces and refined stone designs with delicate shades ranging from white to grey. A delightful interplay of earthy, grey woods, geometric patterns and industrial-inspired slate and steel decors. Neutral tints of blue, grey and petrol color bring visual warmth. For an interior look that seems raw and unfinished, yet cohesive and chic.
Pushing the boundaries of style
A blend of opposite designs - from elegant and subtle to extravagant and bold. From high gloss surfaces for a strong design statement to matt decors with low reflection for a warmer, premium look. A contemporary spectrum of monochrome colors, complemented by the sheen of brushed aluminium decors with a lustrous metallic character. | <urn:uuid:159ee052-256c-42c5-a12f-4f28bfc53af7> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://pt.kronospan-express.com/en/highlights/trends_1819 | 2021-01-20T01:25:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703519843.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20210119232006-20210120022006-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.864814 | 423 |

Effectiveness of a caffeine-containing liquid against premature hereditary hair loss in men
Conducted at the Center for Cosmetic Research of Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome
About half of all men at the age of 50 suffer from hereditary hair loss. Due to the genetic predisposition, this number can even increase in the future. Therefore, great efforts are made in order to achieve effective prevention against premature hair loss. Caffeine is a particularly interesting substance, since its performance-enhancing impact is already known.
From ex-vivo tests, we already know that caffeine can achieve growth effects in the hair root. However, the exact mechanism is as yet unknown. The known effect of caffeine in the energy metabolism may be a key in the effectiveness against premature hair loss.
As a result, it was the objective of this study to confirm the clinical significance of caffeine in a caffeine-containing liquid in the application for hereditary hair loss.
In order to test the cosmetic effect of the caffeine-containing liquid (additional ingredients include zinc, niacin, menthol and vitamins E and A) on male hair loss, an application test was conducted at Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome.
Forty male test subjects aged 18 to 56 with an average age of 37 with beginning and advanced hair thinning participated in the four-month study. A quantity of about 7 ml of the liquid was applied to the scalp once a day, massaged in and not rinsed out. The use of other products against hair loss was forbidden for the entire duration of application. The test for assessing the intensity of hair loss was performed based on a hair pull test at the start and after two and four months of application.
In addition, the test subjects were asked for their subjective assessment with regard to the cosmetic effectiveness of the test product in a questionnaire. This personal questionnaire was verified through an assessment by the clinical trial staff.
Graphic 1: Decrease of hair loss in the hair pull test
Graphic 2: Test subjects with reduced hair loss
After just two months of application of the caffeine-containing liquid, the hair pull test showed a significant decrease of telogen hair (hair in its non-active resting phase), which further significantly decreased after four months (Graphic 1).
The extent of test subjects with a positive development was 77.5% after two months and 82.5% of all test subjects after another two months (Graphic 2).
This objective finding correlated very well with the assessment of the test subjects and the principal investigator. After two months, a decrease in hair loss was subjectively stated by 30% of the test subjects and by 85% after four months. Prior to application, the severity of hair loss was rated “moderate to strong” by 77% of the test subjects. After four months of application of the caffeine-containing liquid, 68% of the test subjects rated their hair loss as “very low to low.” Accordingly, satisfaction and the rate of recommendation were at 85% after conclusion of the study.
Apart from the reduction in hair loss, the liquid also demonstrated very good cosmetic product properties, since the hair structure was rated firm, strong and well-conditioned based on daily application. Since male hair loss must be fought permanently and systematically, product acceptance is very important. This is the only way to ensure long-term success.
The caffeine-containing liquid is an active ingredient solution with very good skin and hair tolerability and very convenient application. The active ingredient base ensures good availability of caffeine in the hair root and in the scalp. After just two months, the users noticed a significant decrease in hair loss, which was very significant after four months. The effects are statistically significant.
After this clinical test, we can judge in summary that the caffeine-containing liquid is very suitable for long-term application against hereditary hair loss and represents an interesting and promising solution to the problem. | <urn:uuid:a03bfaf2-a75a-4861-898e-dc4b9ef30ff9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.alpecin.com/en-gb/research/studies/effectiveness-of-a-caffeine-containing-liquid-against-premature-hereditary-hair-loss-in-men/ | 2019-07-21T18:01:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527089.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721164644-20190721190644-00256.warc.gz | en | 0.964217 | 800 |
You need gallows humour to be a doctor. I think Molière understood that. His play – translated here by Roger McGough – is about a fit and wealthy middle-aged man, Argan, who thinks he's at death's door. His doctors collude in his hypochondriasis to fleece him of his money. There's plenty of slapstick and toilet humour in the play: I particularly liked McGough rhyming "medical thesis" with "faeces".
I've known plenty of people like Argan. We call them "heart-sink patients", because you see them and think: "Oh God, not them again." For some people, seeing a doctor is their only means of interacting with the world. You have to negotiate a dose of doctoring just to keep them going. But you do find yourself making ludicrous suggestions out of desperation – like one of Argan's doctors who tells him to try doing a little dance.
The doctors in the play are portrayed as arrogant, cruel, money-grabbing, petulant, dim and socially inept. OK, you do get the odd arrogant, scalpel-throwing surgeon, and some people might say GPs are money-grabbing, but people don't realise how complicated our funding situation is.
I might have been offended by these caricatures if I worked in the private sector, where there's a temptation to offer unneeded treatment. I see patients coming back from America or Europe, where they have a private fee system for GPs, excited because they think they've had great treatment. I just think: "They wanted your money."
Politicians want doctors to make it easier for people to get appointments. They should see this play. We get a lot of time-wasters: people coming to ask us how to deal with their family, or whether they should get a dog. Politicians should realise that making it easier to see the doctor can prove counterproductive for patients who really need to just get a life.

Anyway, there are couples of new Mobile App Development Company in Delhi that work and build adventures at a practically identical expense, so discover the best one.
Time to be passed on: If there is a distress and brief movement expected perhaps in a little while, at that point an App planning organization in Delhi can be moved closer as they are lively while advisor would require extra time managing all of the activities as a singular person. In house gathering is also an Option yet enrolling method may kill some time.
Regard extension administrations: When thinking about that item movement is satisfactory, Freelancer would be a not too bad decision. Anyway, various segments for instance technique masterminding, long term alliance, standard assistance, and checking are a segment of the additional administrations that might be offered just by a Mobile application advancement organization.

People – David Bisbal Exclusive Interview
AC- Since your first disc Corazón Latino was released you have not stopped collecting national and international prizes and awards from the music world. How does David Bisbal, being so young and with such a relatively short professional career, live with so much success?
DB- Well, the truth is that I really can’t complain. Things have gone well, that’s for sure, but it’s hard work; there’s no other way to do it. At the beginning it’s difficult to take it all on board, but after a while you begin to assimilate it and understand it’s all part of your work, so really I’m coping quite well – I’m happy.
AC- Do you think that without ‘Operación Triunfo’ you would have achieved this success?
DB- Before doing that television programme I had several offers to sing with orchestras larger than the one I was already with and, as I had delivered live demo tapes to various record companies, television, radio, etc., there had of course been many approaches by people who promise things that never materialise. Who knows whether one day the big opportunity would have arrived; but without doubt ‘Operación Triunfo’ was the greatest thing that could have happened to me.
AC- What do you think is the key to success for David Bisbal?
DB- Well, I’m not sure what to say about that. One thing is certain though, you have to work very hard, surround yourself with a good working team which is also congenial; you have to know how to make difficult decisions, when to say yes or no at the right time, have clear ideas of where you are going, and, above all, believe in what you are doing and love your work, which I do. If you add to that a little bit of discipline and a healthy lifestyle, you’ll get pleasure out of your work.
AC- Do you have any idea how many concerts you have given since your first disc was released?
DB- Not really; I would have to check the details we have in our office, but it must be more than 300.
AC- Of all the songs you have recorded, which is the most special for you and why?
DB- Many of the songs mean a lot to me, but without doubt there’s one which every audience sings along with me at every concert I give, wherever it is, and that’s ‘Dígale’.
AC- Of all the numerous prizes and awards you have received – the Ondas, a Grammy Latino, the World Music Award, the Billboard, etc. – which are special for you and why?
DB- They all mean a lot to me since they signify recognition from the music industry and this is something that makes you feel good and gives you more energy to continue working; but maybe my first solo prize in Spain, the Ondas. The Spanish music industry recognised me at last and that was wonderful.
AC- Which prize or award you have not as yet received would you like to have?
DB- Actually the most important prize is the people who follow you to the concerts, who buy your records, who sing your songs, etc. Instead of thinking which award I would like to receive, I always think about not ever losing that one.
AC- You have performed on numerous stages in Spain, Europe, South America and the United States. At which theatre where you have not appeared would you like to and why?
DB- There are many symbolic places in the United States, in Mexico and Europe, and also in Asia. Difficult to decide on one, but perhaps it would be Madison Square Garden in New York. That would be one of the happiest days in my career, if it were ever to happen.
AC- You have collaborated professionally with numerous artists in the music world, the most recent being Rihanna. What is it like working with her?
DB- This has been a great opportunity for me. To work together with a world number one, which is what she is at the moment; it’s a privilege. Apart from the fact she sings so well, dances beautifully and is very pretty, she is also a very straightforward, understanding and delightful person; this is what she has shown towards me.
AC- Are you thinking about working with other colleagues?
DB- There is something in the pipeline, …
AC- When you were dreaming about success, was there any role model for you?
DB- Oh yes, my first idol was Sergio Dalma who I met when I was with the orchestra. And I’ve been able to coincide with him on stage on several occasions. He’s a great guy.
AC- Some time ago you said you wanted to take part in the sound track of a film, or that one of your concerts might form part of the plot of a film. Have any proposals of this kind turned up?
DB- Yes, several, but they’ve not come off for one reason or another. There’s time yet.
AC- Apart from the scheduled concerts, you are working on your new disc which will be released next year. Have you any idea what you are going to call it?
DB- It’s a bit early to think about that. I’ve only recorded one track so far; it’s going to be the main theme for a Mexican soap opera. So, no, I don’t know yet.
AC- And longer term? What goals do you have professionally as well as personally?
DB- On the professional side, to continue working so I can offer good music in the best possible way I can, as I enjoy doing what I do. Personally, everything is going well, and I’m very happy.
AC- What is a working day in the life of David Bisbal like? Do you follow any fixed routine such as getting up, exercising, breakfasting, reading the daily news, a bit of meditation …?
DB- Life is very different depending on whether you’re promoting, on tour, doing concerts, on holiday or preparing a new project. But yes, you have to be organised and disciplined at all times. Leading a healthy life is important too. Yes, I practise sport, have a very good breakfast, I like to watch the news and read the newspaper. In my spare time I go fishing, play football … A normal life really.
AC- And when you are on holiday, what do you like doing best?
DB- Travelling to a peaceful spot, fishing and bicycling.
AC- How does David Bisbal see himself?
DB- A normal person I think. Demanding at work, family oriented, bit of a joker, and I love music.
AC- Which part of your body do you like most?
DB- Well, I’m not really the person who should answer that, I’m happy as I am.
AC- And that you like the least?
DB- I can’t complain about anything.
AC- Of all the flattering compliments paid to you up to now, which stands out and why?
DB- I’ve always preferred compliments directed to me as an artist rather than my physique. I’ve been told many things and I take them all with a lot of affection.
AC- Let’s talk about your beloved land. Which are your favourite tapas bars inAlmería?
DB- There are so many tapas bars in Almería that it’s difficult to choose between them. The most famous are Casa Puga, El Quinto Toro, Casa Joaquín, etc., but above all I like going to La Abuela, Bodegas Capel, the Arenas bar in El Zapillo, these are my favourites. Also they’re very near the beach and to the fairground area.
AC- And restaurants? To be sure there’s a Chinese one among your favourites?
DB- Ha-ha; oh yes. There used to be a Chinese restaurant near my house called Hong Kong … very original! I used to love it. I’ve passed by there several times now and see that it’s closed down. But there are great restaurants in Almería. You can eat well at the Asador in the Hotel Torreluz and I also like the Restaurante El Sotillo which is in San José, I go a lot. Sometimes I go to the Venta del Pobre. There are so many.
AC- And when you go out for a drink with your friends?
DB- In Almería, to the centre, the area of 4 Calles; and in Aguadulce the port in summer. But, be careful, if you have to take the car, someone has to abstain from drinking so they can drive you home with no risks taken.
AC- We would also like you to recommend the most interesting places in your home town for walking around and enjoying its historic-artistic heritage.
DB- A visit to the Alcazaba is greatly recommended, where I recorded the ‘Torre de Babel’ video-clip. Then there is the Cerro de San Cristóbal, theJairán wells, the recently inaugurated archaeological museum, thecathedral, Convent de las Claras, the Calle de las Tiendas which dates from the 17th century, the underground Civil War shelters, the old mineral loading depots … All these are in the city itself and I’ve left out so much. There is also much more in the province as a whole.
AC- Apart from Almería, which other place in Andalucía would you choose for a break?
DB- Every town in Andalucía has its own charm, but a boat trip up the Guadalquivir would be great.
UNIVISION interview with David Bisbal
Reporter: David, welcome to Univision.com, at the Award Lo Nuestro, thank you for being with us.
David Bisbal: It’s a pleasure, always a pleasure to be with you.
R: Look, people are asking you if you have finished recording your album and if you have already closed the repertory, if you have chosen the first single.
DB: Well, I’m still recording it. Actually, after Premio lo Nuestro finishes, I’ll fly to Mexico, because I am working with Armando Avila, a prestigious mexican producer with whom I am working very well. For now, I wouldn’t like to close the repertory. I am an artist which, even when recording, still finds a magic sparkle, a song that can surprize.
Actually, in my last album, better said, in all my albums, almost every single has been selected this way. When I recorded my first album, the magic came from Ave Maria…with my second album, the sparkle was Buleria. So, I belive that one shouldn’t ever close the repertory when recording.
But, in no time, we’ll be finishing the album, because we are anxious to publish it, so we can share it with the world.
R: Very well. Will there be any duets on this new CD?
DB: Yes, I’d love to. But, what is certain is that once the repertory is not closed and everything recorded, I wouldn’t like to decide on that. Because I’d like to talk it through with my team. As I was telling you, for me is always an honour to share my music with the world, but also with other artists. For the public it’s something very different and one also learns a lot from such experience.
For example, the quartet that these days we’ve recorded and now participates at Premio Lo nuestro….all this is marvelous. We’ve had the chance to sing together live in Puerto Rico. Today, at the wonderfull Premio lo Nuestro we’ll sing for all Latin America.
R: Haven’t you “stolen” one of those 3 for your new project…like that…out of the blue?
DB: You know, all 3 are very busy. Alex Syntek is also recording album. Noel is a step away from finishing his and Fonsi….I’ve sung with him in many places: Madrid, Puerto Rico, we’ve appeared together a lot….he’s busy with the album that’s very well seen. It’s going beautifully for him all around the world.
But, you never know. As I told you, God willing, we’ll have this chance to sing with them again.
R: You are composing more on this album. How many of your compositions will there be on the album?
DB: Until now I’ve recorded some….like six of my themes and the repertory is not yet defined, so I’m pretty satisfied. I’m preparing this album for a year now, from February 2007 and I have written a lot of songs.
And thank God, my record company, the team of ER, they liked them and so I have a special motivation regarding this. We’ll see. I have captured all the energy that came from working at separate projects, my album and my concerts, the concert of ALAS, the one from MTV in Malaga, with all those people on the beach, the duets with Rhianna, Fonsi, Pedro Fernandez, Rafael.
All this has been helping me to put all my energy and love in my songs.
R: Now that you’ve mentioned Spain…people are anxious to see this quartet live in Spain. Is it possible?
DB: Yes, well, of course it is. I’d be over delighted. We already sung in Puerto Rico, here in Premio Lo Nuestro, where people from many countries will have the chance to see us through television.
But, I’d be delighted to be able to share this beautifull song with my quartet in my home land. It would be marvelous.
R: People ask if in any of your albums in the title pages you’ve used some image of Almeria and of what place?
DB: Well…I’ve done that in all my albums. In all I’ve used pictures of my country. In videos, photos. In my first album I’ve recorded Ave Maria in my country, Almeria, on the beach of Monsur, in Cabo de Gato and the pictures from the album were also made there.
In Buleria the same…the desert of Tavernas and on my last album I’ve recorded with the guys from Wisin and Yandel the song Torre de Babel at the Alcazaba of Almeria…..so this is always something that i need to carry with me….my land.
Because i spend a lot of time away from it. This is the “excuse” to bring it with me and not miss it so much, the land that I so deeply love, Almeria. That way it is always with me.
I’m having a benefit concert for a child of my country, Almeria. His name is Juanma. He’s suffering from a degenerative disease. That’s why I told you that I’ll be very soon back in Almeria, on the 25th of April to be exact….because I’ll have this wonderfull concert.
This child, very young, sufferes from a degenerative disease. All the benefits of the concert will go entirely to the family of Juanma, so they can continue to fight with tis terrible disease. And I am very pleased. Because it’s the first beneficiary concert that I organize on my own.
I have, of course, participated in a lot of beneficiary concerts: in Alas, in Peru, Terremoto, Education, in that of the Children Soldiers. But it’s the first concert that I organize alone, as person and as artist and I feel very pleased. I hope it will be a success.
R: And for your land?
DB: And for my land..especially for the childhood…he’s a child from my land,Almeria. And I felt so indentified with him.
R: Now..that you have felt the sweet taste of success..that you’ve enjoyed it,how did you maintain that balance and continued being that simple person?
DB:well..you know,I always thought that everything that happens to me are very positive things, and nobody can be arrogant with that,on the contrary..I always need to express all the happiness that music gives me..and to share it with the people.this is the way that I enjoy music,this is the way that I want to live it and share it with my public..this is the way that I feel happy.then I hope that God will maintain that state of mind in me.
R:tomorrow..Premios Lo Nuestro will be over…what’s next in your life?you return to the disc?you return to Mexico??
DB:actually…when Premios lo Nuestro it’s over I’ll travel straight to Mexico,because I will continue recording my disc..and I’ll also be performing with Wisin and Yandel at their concert in Mexico , I think it’s a great opportunity to sing again with them.because you can learn a lot from a featuring, from the collaborations..and sharing it with the people from Mexico is always a great thing.it seems like I live in Mexico because I spend so much time there in Mexico..and I really like that.
R: What do you like the most in Mexico?
DB: I like so much the affection of people,who are (faithful,devoted)..from the first moment that I arrived…well..there weren‘t so many people at first .but gradually that affection has grown ..in my first year there I had a few little concerts,and gradually I got to sing at the national auditorium…that was a great thing..and to see that you are little by little evolving and the affection of the people is still present…of course,the women are very beautiful…and I like very much the food,especially…my favourite dish is “la ranchera”I like that varierty of meat.
R: Now..that we are talking about the Mexican meat,,didn’t you ever fell for a Mexican woman ??
DB: They are really beautiful ,but…
R: Any ranch girl??
DB: Because I like anyway”la ranchera”, no?
Well…you can lose your had, because they are really beautiful, but you have to remain calm..
R: There are people that are afraid to live in Mexico..for you ..all that about the insecurity..,how did you manage it?
DB: Well…anyone has that fear but..nobody can live hidden, thinking about the things that can happen to him..you have to be precautios,but mexico, gradually,is getting out from all those problems..and I’m really glad..I hope that they’ll have luck,and will be able to work for the happiness of the city,they are worth it,because they are really good people.
R: Changing the subject…how do you think that the economic crisis has affected you personally?
DB: The musical crisis had arrived long before the world economic crisis, and so then we are a little more accustomed with it, but is sure that now there are so much more difficulties in making a concert, or for the promoters of Cds and activities..and one has to find another way for a good simbiosis… so that the people continue supporting the music..and that we be able to share it in a balanced way..all together…but it sure affected in many sectors…and the music has been affected..by the piracy many years ago..but I think we gonna go through this..all the nations united, together..we gonna try to work to obtain serenity for the people.
R: What are you gonna offer this night to the public?
DB: All my affection..all my energy,all my passion for music…and ..the most important of all the joy and the motivation for being able to share a great song like “aqui estoy yo” with professionals from other countries like noel, like alex sintek and like luis fonsi..and celebrate it at the premios lo nuestro,which represents our latin culture..they are so beautiful..it’s great that all the people on our continent will see all that we feel for music.
R: David thank you so much for being here with us
DB: Thank you,it’s always a pleasure being in this media, the internet, that today moves everything. So, thank you so much for the opportunity to make this interview . Kisses for everybody

David Bisbal: In His Own Style
Before he became a singer, David Bisbal had never been outside his native Spain. With the launch of his third album, Premonición, he’s expected to consolidate his standing as an international star. This young man from Almería spends his life on a plane these days, and despite all the interviews and presentations, he never seems to lose his good disposition. He’s sincere, talkative and flirty, as long as you’re not trying to find out about his private life.
After taking a break from the stage for a year and a half, Bisbal is demonstrating with this new album that he not only has the respect of his record company—which let him make many of the production decisions—but also his artistic and personal maturity as the author of seven of the 12 songs, many of which make a social statement. The CD is both agressive and full of tenderness, and this time the 27-year-old uses more pop rock and even dares to try other rhythms such as reggaeton. Of course, he also includes one of the keys to his success, those ultra-romantic ballads that elicit sighs out of his fans, like the first single “Quién me iba a decir” by Kike Santander, who also wrote “Silencio,” “Premonición” and “Torre de Babel” (for those last two songs, the Colombian producer-songwriter shared production credits with Bisbal).
How long was your vacation?
About five months, because then I had to start writing. We spent a lot of time preparing this album, which is the most personal one of my career. I knew why I wanted certain sounds and messages, and how I wanted them. I was able to express everything I had in my head for the past year and a half with this album.
What did you do during your break?
I did what I missed doing the most. I went to my native Almería to be with my people and with my friends, eating food that I really missed. I thought that I had lost my favorite little spots that I used to have there for good, but I was able to go back.
How do you define the new sound of Premonición?
I wanted to rescue the band sound, so there isn’t as much difference between the recording and live sound. That’s why you can hear a stronger guitar base and fusions of Spanish guitar; it was just what I felt like doing at the time. In concerts, I’m going to summarize my musical history.
Do you think fans share your points of view on socially-conscious songs such as “Soldados de papel,” which talks about war?
I think fans want to share with the artist what he or she feels in life: the happiness, the responsibilities and the worries that all human beings share. I’m not going to fix the world through one song, but that’s my vehicle.
Why are you sharing your social consciousness now?
At 22, what I wanted to share with everyone was “Come on down, party, boogie all over the place!” I still do, but time passes and you move on to another phase, which is very positive. I feel good. It’s part of what I experience.
In “Qué tendrás” you emphasize the dirty side of money. How has money changed your life?
For some people, it’s a double-edged sword. What I’d like to express through this song is a reality: that people smile at me, but they also betray me. Some people don’t mind destroying a career for money. I couldn’t feed my family with money that I know has hurt someone. I’d rather sleep peacefully and not have so much money.
You also dared to do a reggaeton…
“Torre de Babel” is a social song that covers a lot. I liked it so much that I made it a fusion of cultures including mine—the flamenco—and the urban touch of hip-hop and reggaeton with Wisin and Yandel. It was great having them, and of course Vicente Amigo on the Spanish guitar.
Were you always a composer deep down inside?
I always had some of that. My time off had something to do with it. It all started because the composers sent me songs that I’d already sung, including the themes and musical arrangements, and I didn’t want to do the same. So I told them “this is what I want to do” and that’s how it was.
The famous graduate of the “Operación Triunfo” reality show shocked everyone when he ended a three-year relationship with Chenoa, who participated in the same competition, and began one with Cuban-Spanish model Elena Tablada. Tabloid journalists followed his every step, trying to photograph him in some compromising situation.
Do you understand why people are so interested in your love life?
It’s not the people; focusing on the love lives of the famous is big business. My life is my life… I keep my life private because that’s the only thing I have left for myself, and that’s what motivates me daily to continue working and to spend so much time away from home. You get used to it… you’d like everything to be private, but what else can you do? There are some positive and negative things, and I don’t understand the reason for tearing people down. I don’t hurt anyone—I do my job and that’s all.
People have only known about two of your girlfriends. Are you not the type to have a lot of girlfriends?
As far as having fun, I already had a lot of fun when I was 16 and 17. But after a time, what I’ve done is try to concentrate on my life, and that’s why I haven’t been seen with a lot of girlfriends. I’ve been concentrating on what was, at that time, my future.
Do you plan on having a family?
A family? No, of course not. My family is Premonición.
Do you believe in premonitions?
I’ve never had a premonition. I don’t know what fate has in store for me, but I hope to have God’s help.
Without a doubt, David Bisbal is on his way to international fame. Although he’d been reluctant to sing in English (he even said that he wasn’t interested in doing it), the Spaniard recorded the song “Let’s Make History” with the German star Joanna Zimmer for her album. This collaboration surely helped his fame in Europe; he even launched an album for that market with some of his hits in Spanish and three songs in English: “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore,” “Stop Loving You” and “Cry For Me.” While working on Premonición, he went to London to study the language of Shakespeare.
At the same time his Premonición album was launched, David Bisbal made his debut in the perfume business with Pura Esencia Man and Pura Esencia Woman. “The fragrance reminds me of my native Almería. Smells are memories, and I explained that to the company I’m working with. I think it’s great that people count on my help and my image. It’s very nice,” he says.
The cover of Premonición shows David Bisbal struggling to keep his balance while hanging from a rope. It also shows him sweating and untidy, like in the video of the first single “Quién me iba a decir.” Some people have accused him of having a “dirty” look. “I’ve always tried to dress well so people see me looking good, but I’ve already done that. The video reflects much suffering, and it was made with three elements: the wall, the rope and the artist struggling to keep his balance. The artistic message is a reflection of the artistic life, which is not just getting there, but rather, staying there.” | <urn:uuid:acc95d9e-180d-413b-b7e5-d7834b08fc0d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://davidbisbalblog.wordpress.com/interviews-david-bisbal/ | 2018-05-23T06:49:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865456.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523063435-20180523083435-00548.warc.gz | en | 0.965356 | 6,338 |
