While Steve and Cliff have been keeping you entertained here with their takes on the Yankees-Twins matchup, I delivered my own epic tome to Baseball Prospectus yesterday, breaking down the series along the lines of lineups, benches, rotations, bullpens, defenses and managers. More than any articles I do during the regular season, I love doing the Playoff Prospectus. Some folks may only care about the predictions at the ends of those monster pieces, but while any boob can tell you "Yankees in four," it takes far more to be entertaining and informative over the course of three or four thousand words BP dishes out the Playoff Prospecti as plum assignments, and I've always taken the honor seriously; last year, I even got to do the World Series Prospectus, and it was as cool as having a ticket to a game (which luckily I also did). In any event, while I've broken into minutiae there, I wanted to step back to highlight a few key points here.
1. The Aces: Just after my preview went up, the Yankees leaked the news that they would go with a three-man rotation for the division series, skipping the erratic (but gracious) A.J. Burnett to bring CC Sabathia on three days' rest. That's something the big man has done very well in the past, going 4-1 with a 1.52 ERA in six starts. He carried the 2008 Brewers to their first postseason berth in 26 years doing so, then helped the Yankees win their ring by making short-rest starts in both the ALCS and the World Series.
So long as the series isn't a sweep in either direction, what the move does is ensure that the Yankees get their best pitcher to the mound a second time before they potentially face elimination, and that's a luxury that the Twins don't have. As brilliant a pitcher as Francisco Liriano can be when his health is in order, he's also a fragile one. He has just one major league start on three days' rest, and it came back in September 2005; in fact, it was his first major league start, and it merely followed a one-inning relief stint. One Tommy John surgery and a couple of lost years later, he's yet to work on short rest again, and the Twins won't start doing so here. That means they won't get their ace back on the hill until a Game Five that may never come. As Leo Durocher famously said, "You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain," but here the Twins no choice.
2. The Yankee Rotation's Order: Decidedly more second-guessable than the three-man rotation is the decision to have Andy Pettitte start Game Two and a potential Game Five, both at Target Field, leaving Phil Hughes to start Game Three in Yankee Stadium. As I pointed out on Monday, Hughes' flyball tendency plays much better in spacious Target Field than Yankee Stadium, where he allowed 20 of 25 homers this year.
Having first pointed out that imbalance days ago, it's only fair to walk it back just a bit. Despite the imbalance of that split, Hughes' ERA split between home and road was just 4.66/3.47. Once you normalize for the home runs per fly ball rate via the xFIP estimator (which also uses strikeout and walk rates to gauge what a pitcher's ERA should have been), you find the spread between the two is even less: 4.76 at home, 3.99 on the road. Mind you, that's not exactly good news, but the difference isn't as great as it's been made out to be; one way or another, Hughes needs to summon his early-season form to succeed.
As for Pettitte, the best you can say is this: he's the most experienced postseason pitcher ever, and for all the squeamishness those of us in the cheap seats may have about the fact that he averaged just 4.4 innings per start in his return from the disabled list while topping out at 88 pitches, we're not the ones watching his side sessions (and Hughes') and taking his temperature, nor are our seasons or even our jobs on the line. Joe Girardi is placing a lot of eggs in Pettitte's basket, but under the circumstances, it's a question of choosing between two dicey options, not an obviously good one and an obviously bad one.
3. Lineup Lefties: Both the Yankees and the Twins have several left-handed bats in their lineups: Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Brett Gardner for the Yankees, Denard Span, Joe Mauer, Jim Thome and Jason Kubel for the Twins. None of those players hits southpaws as well as they do righties, and they'll see plenty of southpaws this series. What the Yankees' rotation potentially does is throw two of them at the Twins in a three-game series, three in a four-game series, or four in a five game series. The Yankees could face two in a three-game series in Lirano and Brian Duensing, but at most they'll face three in a five-gamer.
Cano (.285/.343/.514), Granderson (.234/.292/.354) and Gardner (.252/.373/.353) combined to hit .260/.337/.421 versus lefties this year with 19 homers in 584 PA, around one every 31 PA. Granderson, who has looked like a platoon candidate for the better part of the past few years — as Uncle Steve no doubt has harped upon — came on strong against southpaws after reworking his swing (.286/.375/.500 in 64 PA, compared to .206/.243/.275 in 107 PA prior), but that's somewhat canceled out by Gardner's performance moving in the opposite direction after his late-June bruised wrist. By comparison, that trio hit .297/.379/.461 against righties, with 39 homers in 1210 PA — again, one in every 31 PA.
For the Twins, Span (.279/.347/.349), Mauer (.272/.342/.369), Thome (.241/.298/.471) and Kubel (.225/.311/.344) combined to hit .259/.331/.370 versus lefties this year — virtually identical to the Yankees' trio save for 50 points of slugging percentage, which may owe to the difference between the two ballparks; they homered just 10 times in 751 plate appearances. On the other hand, they hit .290/.376/.478 against righties, with 48 homers in 1460 PA, or roughly one every 30 PA — a difference of over 150 points of OPS. Limiting the comparison to just Mauer and Thome, we're talking .263/.329/.399 versus .341/.447/.598, a difference of over 300 points of OPS. Which side would you rather face?
Considering handedness, the performance gaps between the two teams' lefties aren't all that far apart, but their footprints are unequal; the Yankees' trio could face lefties three times, while the Twins' quartet could face lefties four times. Furthermore, there's the issue of surrounding casts. The Yankees' lineup also includes switch hitters Mark Teixeira, Jorge Posada and Nick Swisher, who always have the platoon advantage and who can provide some serious sock, and righties Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, of whom you may have heard. They've also got a solid DH platoon in Marcus Thames and Lance Berkman, each shielded from their respective kryptonites. There are whispers Girardi may choose to swap out Gardner with righty Austin Kearns against southpaws at least against Liriano tonight to further minimize the lefty footprint, but nothing's been announced at this juncture. For the Twins, the the only switch hitter around is the relatively light-hitting Orlando Hudson. Righties Delmon Young and Michael Cuddyer have some pop, but Danny Valencia and J.J. Hardy considerably less so, and in fact the latter has shown a gruesome reverse platoon split over the past two years, likely owing to a series of wrist injuries.
The Twins do have two lefty relievers on their roster in Brian Fuentes and Jose Mijares, but the Yanks chose to take just one in Boone Logan, skipping the eminently skippable Royce Ring. That can close the gap a bit, particularly in high-leverage late-inning situations, but remember that the Yankees' lefties are also more capable of pitching a bit deeper into games than the Twins' lefties. Sabathia and Pettitte averaged 6.7 innings per start even with the latter's injury, Liriano and Duensing 6.3; the difference between the aces is wider (7.0 vs. 6.1).
The bottom line is that Minnesota's lineup appears to be the one much more vulnerable to southpaws in the balance. I think that's the real difference in this series. | <urn:uuid:bb01df53-4018-47f5-bd6b-8e2a6fe68207> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.pinstripealley.com/2010/10/06/these-keys-three | 2021-09-20T11:04:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057036.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20210920101029-20210920131029-00696.warc.gz | en | 0.967562 | 1,869 |
A wonderful day at Decorex
On Sunday we attended the opening day of Decorex 2019 at its new venue, London Olympia. Olympia is a beautiful, light and bright venue that we often visit for other events, and it was perfect for Decorex from a point of view. We try to attend Decorex every year to meet up with industry friends and also to find new inspiration and ideas. This year we were not disappointed!
A real highlight of the show for us was the William Morris and Co stand where we were invited to print our own wallpaper tile using one of their beautiful vintage stencils and print press. The experience was fantastic and we’re both now in the process of framing the beautiful prints so we can display them at home. Using the original process, you apply paint to a sponge pad and then press the stencil onto the pad to make the paint.
It was fantastic! If you get a chance to do it, definitely do!
We paid visits to as many of our friends as we could. We were delighted to catch up with Maxine from Blackpop and see their new collection that takes inspiration from Paradise Lost. The detailing on their printed fabric is amazing! My eyes completely believed it was stitching until I touched it. We love the slight oriental feel from the new design, which is now also available as a wall mural and voiles.
Curiousa & Curiousa aways deliver a really eye-catching stand! Their stunning light collection looked beautiful again the pink backdrop. Their lantern collection really attracted a crowd.. and Sally of course.
Among the exhibits were some really talented craftspeople exhibiting their recent work. We love a good chair and this one was both beautiful and comfortable.
We popped along to see Bert & May’s stand, which featured not only their stunning tiles but also their new paint collection. The new paints colour-match or compliment their tile range – what a fab idea!
The floor of the stand featured some of their reclaimed tiles. We loved these so much! They source them mostly from Spain and they are available to buy, alongside their new tiles, on their website.
One of their best selling tile collections had been used to create a bathroom scene. We loved the effect of all over tiles in this beautiful pattern. The vintage mirrors were the perfect finishing touch.
We love how each stand is so different at Decorex and how exhibitors go the extra mile to catch your attention. Look at these beautiful cranes!
We had to visit the door handle by Phillip Watts Design that nearly broke Instagram last week. It’s even better in real life!
The bar areas were beautifully decorated! London based interior stylist and set designer Paula May Evans put these together for the event. We loved the greenery and varied seating.
We really loved the VIP room which we were kindly given access to by our friends at Farrow & Ball. Led by UK interior design practice Harding & Read the room champions sustainable practices in interior design.
Furnishings were provided by Vinterior, the vintage and antique ecommerce platform, while several pieces will be sustainably made by Matthew Cox and others provided by antiques dealer turned maker, Christopher Howe.
British Standard, whose joinery is built to last a lifetime and made from local and environmentally responsible family-managed woodlands, provided the kitchen and tiles will be reworked from rejects supplied by Douglas Watson. Environmentally friendly paint from Farrow & Ball was used throughout – to dramatic effect!
Back to the stands and Sally got hands-on at the Love Your Home display. We loved their beautiful ‘teddy bear’ chair and their beautiful range of beds are sofas are well worth a look if you’re in the market!
We had a fantastic day and we’re looking forward to next year already! | <urn:uuid:6a72fa61-bd70-4663-b72e-2fb7ae5190a3> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://greenandmustard.co.uk/interior-design-blog/decorex-2019/ | 2019-10-15T23:23:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986660829.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20191015231925-20191016015425-00024.warc.gz | en | 0.969435 | 792 |
16 December 2013 Voicing concern over the lack of a national action plan by the Bahamas to address trafficking in persons, an independent United Nations human rights expert called on the Government to ramp up its efforts to fight the ongoing problem.
“The Government of the Bahamas has demonstrated willingness to combat trafficking in persons,” said Joy Ngozi Ezeilo, Special Rapporteur on trafficking, at the end of her three-day official visit to the country.
She also noted the country’s ratification of some key international conventions and the adoption of a comprehensive law on trafficking in persons in 2008, which prohibits trafficking in persons in all aspects, and is applicable to men, women and children.
However, she stressed that “the country lacks a National Plan of action to effectively address trafficking in persons, setting out clear objectives and responsibilities to implement the existing legal framework while integrating a human rights and victim centered approach.”
As a major transit country for migrants attempting to enter the United States, the Bahamas is also a point of transit and destination for trafficked persons from the Caribbean and Central and South America. The scale of trafficking is difficult to quantify, given low identification and prosecution by authorities.
Of particular need, she highlighted, is a broad assessment of the trends and scopes of trafficking and the creation of a rapporteur to monitor the phenomenon at the national level, as well as an equivalent mechanism to evaluate implementation of existing policies and their impact on trafficking.
While recognizing efforts being made to include information on human trafficking into the regular training curriculum of the Royal Bahamas Defence force, Ms. Ezeilo underscored the urgent need for the Government to “scale this up and continually enhance the knowledge and skills of these front line officers to identify and protect trafficked persons.”
Moreover, she urged the Government “to address demand for cheap labour and sexual services from poor neighbouring countries and the prevailing social fabric that may contribute to increase people’s vulnerability to trafficking.”
The UN Special Rapporteur further encouraged the Government to explore “effective and sustainable ways to combat trafficking and provide safe migration option” through bilateral cooperation.
“Cooperation is imperative to end the impunity of traffickers and to prevent human trafficking,” said Ms. Ezeilo, expressing her confidence with the Commonwealth of the Bahamas to “become a model for other countries in the Caribbean Region.”
UN independent experts, or special rapporteurs, are appointed by the Geneva-based Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a country situation or a specific human rights theme. The positions are honorary and the experts are not UN staff, nor are they paid for their work.

A 41- year-old construction worker suffered a severe traumatic brain injury when he fell approximately 14 feet and hit his head on the concrete below. The worker had been installing floor trusses on the second story of a multi-family home when the incident occurred. His foreman and co-worker were on site when it happened and heard, but did not see, the fall.
They found the injured worker lying on the concrete of the home’s garage floor, breathing but barely conscious. What else did they find? He was still connected to the rope and harness of his fall arrest system – which was anchored to a beam.
The sad irony of this incident – although the worker was wearing fall protection, the rope was too long, and it couldn’t stop his fall. The foreman had warned him about the length of the rope a week before the incident.
The worker suffered multiple skull fractures, brain hemorrhaging, and a fractured spin. A year after the incident, the victim was still in rehabilitation for his brain injuries and required 24-hour living assistance.
What could have prevented this incident? Aside from the obvious – using a shorter rope – here are a few more recommendations:
1. Use an aerial work platform or scaffold where possible – if a work platform had been used in this incident, the worker could have been standing on the platform and not the beam edge.
2. Reduce exposure to falls by placing and securing plywood over the already installed trusses to create a walking/working surface to which an anchor can be secured for a personal fall restraint system.
3. Put in place a disciplinary plan and enforce it. Using the wrong PPE or using the right PPE in the wrong way should be part of the disciplinary plan. It may not always work, but in many cases it could be enough of a deterrent for employees to stop and think before making the same mistake twice. | <urn:uuid:3c487d15-9d06-4c4a-b0da-2f4169c1484d> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.safesupervisor.com/14-foot-fall-with-a-15-foot-rope-fatality-file/ | 2019-05-19T08:19:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232254731.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190519081519-20190519103519-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.977634 | 392 |
The Raft. Devastation. Fear. Loss. Uncertainty. Abandonment. Grief. The inner turbulence of the author after experiencing a traumatic life event. Recovery. Perseverance. Survival. Hope.
Thunderheads rolled across the darkened sky. Gray clouds swelled and curled over themselves, spewing rain that fell in tight streaks, lacerating the surface of the ocean that lay beneath like needles puncturing skin. This storm had caught me completely by surprise. After the worst of it had passed, I was alone in the squally waters and fighting to stay alive, desperately clutching the only object that was keeping me afloat—a simple box crate. I didn’t know what had happened to the rest of my family—the storm had separated us. My husband, my children, my pets—the people I loved—where were they? They were in the black water like me--alone and holding onto something for dear life.
I had already been at the mercy of this tumultuous sea for what seemed like a time without end, and it was still raging and still powerful. A black wall of water rose in front of me, sucking me into it like a vacuum. I found myself at its highest peak, momentarily gazing at the bowling sky above until the wave dropped. The water fell so fast that bile came up from my stomach and burned the back of my throat. This was the roller coaster from hell—the dips plunged my heart into the pit of my gut until I thought the sick feeling alone would be enough to kill me. The violence of the sea was relentless. I curled my hand around the rope that was tied around the box crate, doubting that I could remain afloat much longer. My strength was all but gone. Hanging onto the winding rope, I ignored the frigid temperature of the water and endured the occasional slaps from the wild salty sea. I thought back to a time when I had navigated these depths with ease. It didn’t even seem like that long ago when…
The clear sky was above me and the calm sea was below me. My vessel was large, I remember it well. It was sturdy, beautiful, and it weathered the storms that came my way. I had spent a long time building it—constructing its base and overseeing the minutest of details until it was sail-worthy. I had placed everything that mattered to me on that craft; everything of substance that this particular storm brutally tore to pieces had been on that vessel—pieces I had tried to hold on to, but the tempest had swallowed them all.
The swell rose, heaving, and tossing me around. This night was especially dark, as black as coal. The occasional sparkle of light on the water, when the clouds decided to be kind and part, was somewhat reassuring. I wanted to think that even though I was alone—stranded—maybe someone was looking out for me—maybe I hadn’t been completely abandoned. I rested my cheek on the crate. My teeth were chattering and my body was shivering uncontrollably. I gripped the slippery rope tighter, twirling it around my hand several times. If the storm took this crate from me too I wouldn’t survive. I needed it. It hadn’t been a part of my original vessel—but it was a part of my experience now. It had found me and kept me afloat—it was all I had to hold onto. It would mean the end if I lost my grip—because the way I saw it, without this crate I would surely drown. It wasn’t just a simple box crate. It was my lifeline. Even in the dark I could make out its shape, square and imperfect, but in my eyes it was just right… because it had saved me.
Wrapping my arms around the crate, I desperately clung for dear life. But the shift of my weight submerged us, and we slipped under the surface. The water swallowed us both. There in the cold depth, we were rocked and tossed, rolled and churned—me and my crate—until the rope disentangled itself from my hand. We were disconnected from each other. I screamed underwater and bubbles rushed out of my mouth. Flailing and kicking, I reached for the rope but it wasn’t there anymore. Disoriented and confused, I struggled to find the surface—needing to get air into my burning lungs.
A ghostly white light shone down from a break in the cover of clouds overhead like a spotlight. Breaking the surface of the sea, I choked and struggled to tread water, coughing and spitting until something knocked me hard on the back of the head. It was my crate—and it was floating away from me. The sea was taking it. It’s leaving… I panicked and opened my mouth to call after it just as a succession of small waves battered me. I flailed at the surface of the choppy water, fighting for my next breath. I had very little strength left to go on. I thought of letting the storm take me... I had lost too much—more than most—and more than I could ever hope to recover.
I went under.
The water covered me like a cold, discomforting blanket. I expected death to claim me, as I knew it was waiting and longing to do. The tendrils of the deep reached for me, bucking and summersaulting me around and around. The rage and tenacity of the water spurred my own anger and I lashed out with furious fists and sharp kicks. I fought the bodiless monsoon until my lungs screamed for oxygen. Exhausted, I opened my mouth and released the last of my air supply. The bubbles quickly rose for the surface, showing me which way was up. I contemplated staying put. I need air! My lungs screamed again. But in this very moment the water was still; deceptively quiet and eerily tranquil. Just take me… I thought over and over again. Without so much as a thin thread to hold on to, I’m defeated anyhow.
Just then a raft appeared overhead, its shadow darkening the blue-black gloom. I looked up at the rectangular mass, temporarily mesmerized, until white hands broke the surface of the water and reached in. Those hands found me, curled around my upper arms, and pulled me out of the water. My lungs sucked in a desperate breath of air, all the while cursing me for allowing their extensive distress. My upper body landed on the hard planks. The soaked wood smelled of over-ripened apples and cheap cigars and my cheek was pressed firmly against it. My legs dangled off the side of the raft, tethered in place by the weight of my upper body. I couldn’t keep my eyes open because the water came up over the side of the raft and slapped my face over and over, developing a rhythm, like the beat of a drum. The slapping water gradually lessened in intensity until I realized that…
The storm was finally beginning to settle.
By morning, the sky was violet and blue. A stripe of orange peaked over the edge of the horizon where the ocean met the sky. The orange streak slowly spread across the dull sky, lightening and trying to overtake it. I took a deep breath, vaguely aware that I was not alone on the raft. My fingers found the edge of the plank above my head and I used the very little strength I had left to turn onto my other cheek. With my mouth gaping, I stared across at the familiar figure sitting just a few feet away. He had the appearance of a man, but I knew he was still a boy.
The salty water burned my eyes, but I could see his shoes—white sneakers with bright green laces. They were familiar. My head was swarming with thoughts and ideas. The boy was sitting crossed-legged, his gray plaid cotton shorts revealing his long pale legs. There was something about him that I recognized, yet I couldn’t quite identify it. The misshaped form of his knees struck me. The bones slightly protruded beneath his kneecaps… This boy… can it be that I know him? I wondered. The raft was drifting on the choppy sea, but in the moment that I was staring across at the boy, everything was calm. I opened my mouth, wanting to say something, but I was too exhausted to utter anything that made sense. “I… I can’t…” my voice broke. I hung my head.
“Don’t try,” he said, and I knew his voice. I had heard it before. “Just rest.”
I squeezed my eyes shut. Pain constricted my chest. My heart tightened around a small chest—a secret box that I kept hidden deep inside—a chest that now threatened to burst open. Pain mingled with my blood and pulsed through my veins like poison, becoming a hot and searing liquid. I bit down on my lip until the taste of blood filled my mouth. There was a boy on my raft—a boy. And suddenly I realized… this wasn’t just a raft--it was a piece of my broken vessel. This had once been mine… I swallowed hard, trying to push down the lump that had risen in my throat. I couldn’t look up at the boy now even if I wanted to… because I knew exactly what I would see if I did—hair as fine as strands of silk, dark espresso-coloured eyes that could see to the pit of someone’s soul, and a smile that could brighten even the deepest, darkest of days. On top of that though, Iwould see perfection. I would see the reflection of my joy, of my hope, and my endless love.
“Don’t try,” he repeated, and his voice took me back to a different time.
There had been a boy on my vessel—before this particular storm hit. He was a strong, handsome, caring boy. A boy that I loved unconditionally. He left handprints on my heart and placed a trail of footprints throughout my soul. A sob broke free of my chest. My eyes were stinging, not from the saltiness of the water, but from the saltiness of the tears that were now flowing freely from them.
My heart was broken… I lost this boy to the storm.
A strong gust of wind twirled our raft around on the blue-marbled water. My legs were still dangling over the side when the wild current caught them. The sea tried once again to suck me back into its perilous depths. My shoulders lost their perch and my body slid close to the edge. Not again, I thought, and contemplated the value of holding on this time, of staying this course. What did I have left? Do we ever actually beat the storm? No. We are all either heading into it, in the middle of it, or coming out of it—after it has taken something from us. My fingers were slipping. My hold was failing. The water was swallowing my lower body and I had to make a choice—keep going or let go. The storm was testing me again. Choose.
As if in answer, the boy reached over and placed his hand on my back.
“It’ll be ok,” he said, and I could almost see his face. “Don’t let go mama.”
And I broke. I wept.
Water entered my mouth and I choked. I wanted to hold him—to hold the boy, but he was beyond my reach. “Hold on,” he said. “Don’t let go,” he whispered, time and time again. I did—I held on until the storm receded and the waters were calm once again. The boy never moved from his place on the raft. I felt him sitting next to me, where he remained fixed and watchful.
The sky remained dull and gray for a long time, a long time. I held on, drifting half-on and half-off the raft, until the water became a rippleless sheet of glass under the pale blue sky. A new dawn finally broke. Finally, the storm had passed. In time I found the strength to pull myself completely up onto to the raft. All I could do was rest my forehead against the boards, and hug my knees to my chest. I was barely alive. The next stretch of time was going to be for recovering, restoring, and healing. For a long time, all I did was breathe. It was all I could do. Weak and fragile, the only arms of comfort were my own. Days turned to nights. Eventually, my ears began to work again and I heard sea birds singing and playing in the sky overhead. Their songs carried the tune of sweet innocence. The occasional gush of water spraying from a whale’s blowhole as it came in for a curious look startled me, and helped me find the strength to lift my head. I looked out on the blue world, and my perspective slowly changed. I noticed different things over time. Fins broke the surface of the water near my raft, drawing brilliant swirls that brought a smile to my lips. Life was all around me. The boy was gone. But he was with me. And life was within me. And life was all around me. The storm hadn’t taken it all…

If any of you have been up climbing or hiking I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. The Paradise Meadows have been ablaze with Broadleaf Lupine, Cascade Aster, and Pasqueflower Seedhead just to name a few. Paradise isn't the only place to see fields of red and purple though. The subalpine ecosystem that is home to these flowers surrounds Rainier and is usually found between the 4,500' and 7,000' elevations. This being said climbers are sure to notice hardy plants and flowers growing in the rocky areas of Rainier at all elevations. Look around and you will surely be amazed when you see a hummingbird feeding on a flower as you approach 10,000' on Steamboat Prow or Muir Rocks!
These are some pretty hard core plants that survive year after year while spending eight or nine months buried beneath snow and ice. The best way to keep these guys around for future climbers to see is by not stepping on them, so on your way up to high camp please be sure to set a good example for the rest of the parks visitors (yes they are watching!) by staying on the trails, and not walking all over the fragile meadows.
The photos on this post were taken by Steven Redman one of our Interpretive Rangers here at Paradise. Interps work in the visitor centers throughout the park and are a great resource if you are looking for non-climbing related information. They have the most current beta on everything from flowers and animals to park geology and history. They are always amped to help you out with all the questions climbing rangers can't answer! | <urn:uuid:5b4cca75-2460-4399-ab1a-74f980683375> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://mountrainierclimbing.blogspot.com/2010/08/in-bloom.html | 2018-02-25T05:47:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891816138.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20180225051024-20180225071024-00760.warc.gz | en | 0.958834 | 337 |

I'm always amazed, when I go to the networking site Linked In, how many people I know are actually on there. I mean everyone from old creative directors to headhunters to friends from college who are now lawyers and bankers (and making lots more money than I am-- the I-bankers in particular.)
Most of them, I'm sure, wound up there the way I did: some casual acquaintance emailed me, asking me to join, and figuring I had nothing to lose, I signed on. A few more people found me and that was that.
There are a few people who really work Linked In, people who have several hundred "links." But by and large the magic number seems to be somewhere south of 10. So much for networking sites, huh? | <urn:uuid:de1a39ce-29c6-44e1-a67b-4416012cca41> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.toadstoolblog.com/2007/05/linked-in.html | 2016-12-08T23:57:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542665.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00149-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987661 | 160 |
Why the West Fears Islam
by Robert Edwards (published in ESA No 57, Summer/Autumn 2015)
( The role of money lenders
in history was once aptly termed by many acute observers as the "Hidden Hand." It is the power to create, lend and
accumulate interest on "credit," and then re-lend that interest for further interest, in perpetuity, that creates
pervasive, worldwide debt, from the individual, to the family, to the entire state.
The ability to operate a fraudulent credit and loan system has long been known
and through all the slickness of a snake-oil salesman, the money-lenders - the same types Jesus whipped from the Temple -
have persuaded governments that banking is best left to private interests. Many wars, revolutions, depressions, recessions,
and other social upheavals, have been directly related to the determination of these money lenders to retain and extend their
power and profits"
any state, individual or idea has threatened their scam they have often responded with wars and revolutions. The cultural
and material progress of a civilisation will often relate to the degree by which it is free from the influence of debt and
the degradation that results when the money-lenders are permitted to regain power.
Hence, Goodson shows that both World Wars, the Napoleonic wars, the American
Revolution, the rise and fall of Julius Caesar, the overthrow of Qathafi in Libya and the revolution against Tsar Nicholas,
among much else relate to this "Hidden Hand" in history. This is the key to understanding the past, present and
review of ‘A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind’
by Stephen Mitford Goodson (2014)
Right wing nationalist groups in Britain and
throughout most of Europe have an anti-Islam agenda as their key issue. Very few understand Islam but seem content with contemporary
distortions and downright lies.
Michael Woodbridge of the London Forum tells me it is an “alien religion” and not
suitable for white Europeans or ‘Nordics’ as he calls them. Mr Woodbridge does not believe in God and is a biological
materialist who thinks “all is race”, a well-worn paraphrase from a novel by one of Britain’s former Tory
prime ministers, Benjamin Disraeli. It is taken out of context, of course. You wonder why an atheist would be so concerned
but it is atheists who are at the forefront of the anti-Muslim movement in many countries in ‘The West’.
Then, Paul Golding of Britain
First pretends to be a Christian and carries large white crosses on demonstrations. His foul mouth and threatening behaviour
is far from being Christian and he can not speak on behalf of Christians in Britain for he is a fake Christian. Britain First’s
deputy leader shouts that Allah means the Devil. In fact, Allah means God in Arabic. Ignorance is not always bliss.
This misrepresentation continues
unabated as these right wing nationalist groups becoming more hysterical and irrational. The main theory is that we are to
become the victims of ‘Islamification’, a conspiracy theory not entirely unrelated to the trusty old International
Jewish Conspiracy now condemned by the very same right wing nationalists. For example, the octogenarian John Bean formerly
of several right wing groups dating back to the 1950s, insists that anti-Semites must be removed from nationalist groups because
they are just not patriotic enough. He would like details of his past conveniently erased, especially statements in his old
journal Combat in which he published references to Jews as “maggots in the body politic”. The hypocrisy
of the man leaves one speechless. The ‘new patriotism’ now hates Islam, in place of Jews, and wants Muslims expelled
and mosques pulled down. They may not express such sentiments in their propaganda literature but new laws criminalising incitement
to religious hatred have merely tempered expression of their true thoughts. This stupid campaign against Islam, Muslims and
mosques serves only to divert our eyes from something truly evil. It is an evil that dominates a large part of the world and
has enslaved us all to an international power that controls our lives completely, in every way. This is not theory but hard
however, do believe in a system which is opposed to the system in what is called “The West”. By opposing that
system, Muslims offer a way out of the debt slavery culture we all seem to accept as the norm. Right wing nationalists say
Islam is a threat to our way of life, a threat to British values and so on. David Cameron described ‘British values’
in terms of liberal ideas, democracy and freedom. Those who understand the true nature of the forces that control us know
this is completely meaningless. We have neither democracy nor freedom, in any true sense. It is all illusionary.
There are no such things as
British values and our way of life has been sliding in a downward spiral of materialism, profanity, immorality and general
degeneracy. You can not tell me this ‘way of life’ is worth defending. It is not but, rather, worthy of opposing
true nature of existence is understood by Muslims but not by non-believers. So the system prevailing in ‘The West’
is known as the kafir system. In this centralised kafir system, we are controlled by police states, surveillance
everywhere with large corporations imposing a commercial ethic that becomes institutionalised, standardised and regulated.
At the centre of it all is an obsession with money, the circulation and supply of which is in the exclusive control of private
banking. Usury, once condemned by Christian churches, is imposed upon any country that agrees to a loan. Upon accepting this,
countries are in debt for perpetuity. It is perpetual enslavement, in fact.
Islam stands opposed to the entire kafir system. At the centre
of the Islamic system is the fact that Muslim economics is not based on the creation of debt. This is the original opposition
to usury that the Christian churches dropped in their compromise with secular liberalism.
No, Muslim economics is the direct opposite
of the system under which we languish in ‘The West’ because its central theme is one of giving and not debt creation
... it is the voluntary sharing of wealth by the rich with the poor. It was practiced in Libya under Colonel Gaddafi where
newly-weds were given a house in which to live. No mortgages and no borrowing from private banks. Before he was toppled and
murdered, the Central Bank of Libya was independent of the Rothschild model of global banking.
In a kafir state people are coerced
into paying huge taxes with severe penalties for failing to do so. In a Muslim community, voluntary sharing resolves all of
these matters in place of heavy taxation.
The kafir makes money from nothing by charging interest, a sin in Islam, but when
interest rates become too high the paper and plastic currency can become worthless and it is seen to be what it really is,
numbers stored on a computer and completely worthless.
A Muslim community does not rely on the accumulation of capital or heavy taxation
because it believes in minimal taxation alongside voluntary giving ... and without any accumulation of capital. Gold and silver
which is real money, rather than paper and plastic, are kept circulating and moving around.
An injunction in the Holy Qur’an states
that it is the duty of a Muslim to help anyone in genuine need whatever his religion. It is taken seriously by every Muslim.
When a Muslim helps another human being there is no debt incurred. There is no payment required. He will say it is the will
‘The West’ we have organisations set up to relieve the poor and needy. Some are charitable while others are connected
to the state. Why should there be the poor and needy in the first place is the question that should occur before all others.
It is a sad indictment of the kafir system that allows this to happen and we should question it.
In the Muslim community, there
is a system already in place since the founding of Islam that calls for all to help each other and to give voluntarily whenever
there is genuine need. This is the real answer to poverty.
The integrationists want to do away with this because it is ‘alien’
to the kufir system. David Cameron insists on this because he wants all to adopt British values, values that do not
really exist but are mere fantasies.
When it comes down to it, it would appear that Islam is the better system. It is better because it is based on religious
beliefs that say Allah is the real reward in this life. Allah is just another word for God and what is religiosity but the
human feeling there is something greater than all of us.
This voluntary giving in place of debt is one of the greatest achievements of the
Islamic faith and one that offers an alternative to the present system in ‘The West’. If every man and woman practiced
this then we would be on the way to creating more stable societies. Of this, I am sure.
Recently, a young relative asked me for a small
loan. I replied I can not do that because you would be in debt to me. I told him I would give him the money.

Hot Import Daze
San Mateo transforms into another Vision Hot Spot
On April 28, 2001, Northern Cali shook off Old Man Winter's cobwebs and woke up to a new season of phat rides, hot hunnies and fresh beats at Hot Import Daze in San Mateo, Calif. We rolled up well before the show's opening time of 11 a.m., but the huge parking lot of the Expo Center was already half full. Our instincts told us that this event was not going to disappoint.
Daze attracted numerous car crews, shops, vendors and showgoers from all over California. It was pretty obvious that many had worked hard to put together some dope-ass cars for 2K+1, and a select few walked away with the trophies to prove it. Regardless, everyone deserved mad props for all their efforts.
As for the ladies, the hot weather made sure that they kept their clothing to a minimum. This sure put big smiles on the faces of all the fellas, feeding their hunger for visual delights. The booty contest added more excitement to the mix, and the winner received complimentary VIP passes to the Daze afterparty, dubbed "Redline" and held at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.
The huge success of the San Mateo event signaled the continuing evolution of an import classic. This edition only added fuel to the fire that is Daze. With an expanded schedule of events for 2001, Vision Entertainment is bringing Hot Import Daze/Nights to a city near you. So, gentlemen, get your cars ready. And ladies, dress to impress. You don't want to miss out on this.

In a formal outline, numbers and letters are used to arrange topics and subtopics. The letters and numbers of the same kind should be placed directly under one another.
The topics denoted by their headings and subheadings should be grouped in a logical order. All points of a research paper outline must relate to the same major topic that you first mentioned in your capital Roman numeral.

A good outline is the most important step in writing a good paper. Check your outline to make sure that the points covered flow logically from one to the other. Make the first outline tentative. What is the chief reason you are writing the paper? State also how you plan to approach your topic.
Is this a factual report, a book review, a comparison, or an analysis of a problem? Explain briefly the major points you plan to cover in your paper and why readers should be interested in your topic.
BODY — This is where you present your arguments to support your thesis statement. Remember the Rule of 3, i. Begin with a strong argument, then use a stronger one, and end with the strongest argument for your final point. Explain why you have come to this particular conclusion. Critically analyze your research data.
Using the best available sources, check for accuracy and verify that the information is factual, up-to-date, and correct. Opposing views should also be noted if they help to support your thesis.
This is the most important stage in writing a research paper. Here you will analyze, synthesize, sort, and digest the information you have gathered and hopefully learn something about your topic which is the real purpose of doing a research paper in the first place.
You must also be able to effectively communicate your thoughts, ideas, insights, and research findings to others through written words as in a report, an essay, a research or term paper, or through spoken words as in an oral or multimedia presentation with audio-visual aids.
Do not include any information that is not relevant to your topic, and do not include information that you do not understand. Make sure the information that you have noted is carefully recorded and in your own words, if possible. Plagiarism is definitely out of the question. Document all ideas borrowed or quotes used very accurately.
As you organize your notes, jot down detailed bibliographical information for each cited paragraph and have it ready to transfer to your Works Cited page.

This morning started off like any morning for the members of the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. At approximately 10:30 am EST, a gunman walked into the synagogue and killed 8 people with at least 4 more injured in the shooting. He stated the following as a reason for the shooting: All Jews must die.
This shooting hits too close to home for me. Other than attending services on the high holidays (and perhaps for a special occasion), I haven’t attended Saturday morning services regularly since high school. But I come from a Jewish family where attending regular Saturday morning services is a just part of the weekly calendar. I count my blessings that none of my loved ones were in that synagogue, but it also hurts like h*ll.
I am scared, angry and on the verge of tears. Antisemitism is alive and well in America. The people who were killed were only killed because they are Jewish and happened to attend services at the Tree of Life Synagogue.
This should not be happening in 2018. We should be able to go about our business without being afraid of being killed for who we are. Religious institutions should not need to hire armed guards or security so their members can attend services and feel safe in doing so.
According to news reports, the accused gunmen was found with an AR-15 and a handgun. An AR-15 was also used in the shooting in Las Vegas and Florida. What will it take for our government to enact reasonable gun control laws? How many will die before we come to our senses?
Of course, you know who sounded Presidential, be we all know that he is part of the problem. His antisemitic dog whistles has allowed those who believe as shooter did that they are right.
This should be classified as a hate crime and if convicted, the shooter should receive the harshest legal penalty possible.
May the memory of those killed be a blessing and may we all see each other first and foremost as human beings.
I am going end this post with Shylock’s speech from The Merchant of Venice. Though this speech was written hundreds of years ago, it feels relevant today.
I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.-Act III, scene I | <urn:uuid:4e295848-056e-4ed9-aa67-5b7d0c03929c> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://writergurlny.wordpress.com/2018/10/27/ | 2021-12-02T19:19:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362287.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202175510-20211202205510-00137.warc.gz | en | 0.973141 | 628 |
Decimort is a bit crusher high quality. Electronic music producers (especially in Hip-Hop) have always been aware that classic samplers (such as early Akai units and E-MU) had a character and own sound. They added a “grain” and “color” to the samples and reproducing loops, which made them sound “fat” and sit in a mixture. This sound coloration was due to coding techniques, lower sampling frequencies, lower bit rate and conversion circuits which these early samplers used.
Decimort recreates this colouration and adds the vintage magic shows any loop, bass line or sound played through it. It also acts as the perfect bit crusher with filter.
The complex processing algorithms and advanced signal within Decimort simulate the behavior of the whole sampling path which exists in every AD / DA converter. Decimort no internal aliasing. The only effect of aliasing is present in the system modeling alias of the classic samplers d16 modeled when creating it. Unwanted artifacts are not present in the processed signal. There are only desired devices. It can be applied another low pass filter steep, synchronized with the frequency of the signal at the end of the signal path to absolutely ensure that no unwanted remain out of band signals.
Decimort offers not only bit resolution and sample rate to adjust. It provides more advanced features such as:
Two anti-alias optional filters: prefilter steep low pass filtered (approximate) coupled to the resampling frequency that removes all harmonic content above it, ensuring that no alias appears below this frequency in the spectrum . Other post – filter (filter image), also synchronized with the sampler, gives control over the number of images displayed alias above resampling frequency when enabled.
Adjustable Jitter – Introducing random fluctuations of short resampling frequency producing different types of harmonic distortion.
Two methods of quantification two quantification methods available; decimation algorithms mid stroke and half of the tread, each characterized by a drastically different dynamic response.
Dithering controllable – Developed conceptually as a means to reduce audible quantization errors by masking harmonic distortions caused. Here to increase the number of ways that you can treat the sound.
Decimort is also equipped with analog filters with adjustable resonance that allows sculpting further signal. These can be used to soften the sound or remove more sonic artifacts introduced in the signal path through the modeling process.
Ultra precise resampling algorithm (ADC emulation without harmonics above 22 kHz).
Rough filter (pre) and Image filter (post), both conjugated resampler (again v2).
Adjustable Jitter (new in v2).
Dithered quantization controlled (again v2).
Two methods of quantitation (mid-raiser, mid-tread) (new in v2).
Analog filters and resonance type with adjustable cutting.
Browser based on preset labels (again v2).
Two alternative sizes of GUI (again v2).
MIDI-learn functionality at all (new in v2).

[00:05] Hola y welcome to The Maker Muse Podcast, the place where child-free Spanglish speaking mujeres fuertes are inspired to find their confidence through creativity. I’m Paulette Erato, the Maker Muse. This is part two of three in the universal lessons found in weightlifting series that we’re closing out season one of The Maker Muse Podcast with.
[00:30] I’m so happy you’re here. Before we dive into today’s topic, I’d like to ask a favor of you. If you’ve liked what you’ve heard so far, please give this a rating or review on Spotify or Apple. And if you’re not listening on either one of those, but still want to give some love, I’d appreciate it. So I’ll leave a list of other sites that you can do that on in the show notes. ¡Muchas gracias!
[00:52] Okay, so what are some universal truths or lessons that we can get from the gym? First, let’s recap. we talked about the privilege of being nuevito en algo to be a newbie, how to appropriately set your expectations so you can enjoy being new at stuff, and that rest breaks aren’t earned, they’re required. I also mentioned visualization, which will lead to another lesson on today’s list.
[01:15] All right. So now we’re all caught up. Let’s continue with three more life lessons slash universal truths from the weight room.
[01:23] The next lesson the rest of us can learn from weightlifters is around diet. Really dedicated lifters, have a strict diet they adhere to, and not just with food, but yeah, serious lifters can be pretty meticulous about what they put in their bodies. They track their macros. But they also make sure to drink a lot of water—as we all should. Why do you think I’m always telling you to stay hydrated? And they take their rest days seriously because you can’t lift if you don’t have energy. I mentioned this last time.
[01:51] But they also spend their entire workout time in a supportive environment. Everyone goes to the gym for different reasons. Some people lift, some do cardio, some are there for the group classes, but everyone is hopefully working out in their most supportive environment. Even the loud guy in the corner, grunting and growling like a freaking animal. He’s just lifting a lot of weight.
[02:13] So, what does that mean for the rest of us? Am I telling you to go load up on protein shakes? No, but they are delicious. I personally like a cheesecake one that’s getting harder and harder to find, but somehow there’s always the gross banana and strawberry one in stock.
[02:27] Anyway, the lesson the rest of us can get out of this is to be very aware of what your consumption looks like. Not just food, but what you consume with all your senses, what you watch and see as you’re scrolling through your phone, what you hear, what you smell, whether or not your environment supports your goals.
[02:45] I’m going to expand on this in the next lesson, but for now, let’s say that being surrounded by people who don’t support your goals will steal both your enthusiasm and motivation. And that sucks. So I want you to be aware of what you put in your body and by extension into your mind. Studies have shown over and over that scrolling through social media, like so many of us do in our free time, is actually detrimental to our health. Because we end up in a weird loop of comparing ourselves to what we’re seeing on the screen and then feeling bad about ourselves when we have no reason to. Because what you’re seeing is everyone else’s highlight reel, right? You’ve heard that term: people mostly post their highs and none of their lows. You can’t compare your everyday life to someone else’s greatest hits. No, that’s not how it works. We’re not usually posting the behind the scenes crap of every day. Right? The mundane shit. So why do we get caught up in this comparison shit show?
[03:37] We know it’s bad and yet we get sucked into it. So be very conscious when you do it. And maybe start limiting your time around doing that, set up some boundaries. So the lesson here is to be cognizant of what you ingest in your daily life, what you consume in terms of all your senses. Not just what you eat, but the type of music you listen to, the people you follow on social, the sights, sounds, smells, of your everyday world. Are they supporting your goals?
[04:07] The next lesson is to get a cheering squad. This is that support function I’ve talked about before. If you have my free Destination: Innovation Roadmap, then you already know about this technique. And if you want your own copy, I’ll leave a link in the show notes for where you can get it. But the next lesson is that life is easier when you’re surrounded by people who support you.
[04:25] Remember the episode on marathons and creativity? In it I also mentioned that having people who cheer you on in the middle of the hard parts of both running (or any kind of working out) and creating, helps keep you motivated and focused on finishing your projects. So you want to surround yourself with people who will provide that for you.
[04:43] Because if you’re surrounded with people who don’t believe in you, that energy is going to fuck you up. Not being supported for what you want to put your energy into sucks, and it makes you doubt yourself and it makes you not want to do the thing anymore. Like I said, it steals your enthusiasm and your motivation and your joy.
[05:01] So you might have to go out there and create your own support system. A community of people who know the struggles you might encounter is invaluable for overcoming them. This is why professional associations, artisan guilds, book clubs, running clubs, and so on exist. You want to surround yourself with people who not only support what you’re doing, but that you can geek out about it with.
[05:22] Here’s another example of gym life translating into real life. In the gym. You can always find a spotter, even if you’re lifting alone. What’s a spotter? That’s a person who will watch your lift and help out if you need to dump the weight, if you need an exit strategy. The Wikipedia definition of this is:” the act of supporting another person during a particular exercise with an emphasis on allowing the participant to lift or push more than they could normally do safely.” So a spotter is literally part of your support system.
[05:53] But you also need a cheering squad in your head. The ones that will drown out the inner critic, who is just afraid of you failing. I actually had to laugh out loud at myself in the middle of my squats the other day, because all of a sudden I heard my cheering squad in the middle of the set. I had two more squats to go. And honestly, I do not love squats, so I really need the cheering squad to get through them. And all of a sudden, a voice in my head starts going, “you can do it, 2 more…okay 1 more.” And I looked in the mirror and just laughed because clearly I needed it. But I was also thinking, “I’m going to have to share this on the episode” too. Because a positive mentality when doing something as hard as defying gravity is essential to your success. And if it works in the gym, it’ll work everywhere from the art studio to the boardroom. And when you feel good, you actually perform better.
[06: 44] This cheering squad technique is actually used by the Navy SEALs. They are trained not only in the physical quests that they have to conquer, but also in mental readiness. Because you can’t be the elite type of soldier that a Navy SEAL is, in the environments in which they operate, without having that mental grit, that mental toughness. So the secret to that is instead of having an inner critic in their heads, screaming at them,”I’m scared. This sucks. Let’s get the fuck out of here.” They have an inner cheering section that keeps them going. Because if they don’t, it’s very likely that someone’s gonna get killed. So if people under the most extreme types of duress use this skill to get through the most dangerous situations, you and me sitting on our asses, listening to this episode today? Yeah, we can do it too.
[07:32] So, how do you develop a cheering squad? Where do you find the people who will support you both inside and outside your head? I talked about this in the creative burnout episode: like weightlifting, all hobbies, have their communities, whether in person or online. Seek those out, especially if you’re first starting out. Find the people who you can ask even the most obvious questions. So you don’t have to make the same beginner mistakes someone else made. Or at least you’ll be aware that you might make them.
[08:01] Remember the last episode, part one? That everyone’s a newbie at one point? We’ve all been there. There’s actually this weird statistic that says that every day, about 10,000 adults, in the US alone, learn something for the very first time. Every day, you can be one of those 10,000 people learning something new. Because that means every day, 10,000 people are newbies. I’m telling you we’ve all been there and you are not alone.
[08:26] As for the cheering squad in your head, I like to start with creating some phrases that I need to hear. Like when I was at the gym the other day,”you can do it. It’s just one more.” And then I use them whenever I need them. I also try to think of a voice I’d like to hear. And my go-to example for this is James Earl Jones because he has a nice soothing voice. But I’m sure you can think of many more.
[08:48] Then you have to put your cheering squad through squad practice. So you repeat what you need to hear as often as possible, especially when you don’t need to hear it, so it becomes a habit. So that you wire your brain to use the pathways that’s creating. And when you find yourself in a situation that requires a squad, then they’re ready to go. Those new pathways are paved and solid, they’re ready to be used. And they’re ready for your neurons to travel through them and give you what you need.
[09:14] Continuing on that thought, the human mind is an incredibly powerful tool. It’s more powerful than the world’s strongest lifter, because your mind has the power to make you incredibly powerful. Or make you believe you are nothing. That’s gnarly, right?
[09:29] So the final lesson in this episode is that the mind is your biggest source of strength, your most powerful tool. There’s that old Henry Ford quote that goes, “whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” Meaning that that mind of yours has all the power. No matter how big your muscles get, your mind can still make you feel tiny and insignificant if you let it.
[09:51] So, how do you avoid that? First you make sure you’re limiting the bullshit that you let in there, right? You’re watching your consumption. Then you make sure you have a supportive environment and people who encourage you to keep excelling. And then you use your power tool.
[10:05] In the last episode, I mentioned visualization and sitting through your rest breaks, imagining what your next lift will feel like, what it’ll look like. And how that exercise helps you to actually commit and perform better the next time up to the bar. How imagining that you’re going through the lift, both from an observer’s point of view (like you’re watching a movie), but also in your body (so reliving that sensation as if you’re doing it) is a powerful exercise.
[10:30] Now let’s talk about how you can power your brain, your mind.
[10:35] Let me tell you a story about the time I thought I wasn’t athletic. I remember saying this to my mom around the age of 13, because I’d read somewhere that athlete’s brains were wired differently. And I’d convinced myself that my brain wasn’t like that. I was book smart. I could maybe play the piano a little bit. Not well, but I enjoyed it. So my brain, obviously wasn’t wired for sports.
[10:58] What I failed to recognize was that the article wasn’t saying that athlete’s brains come out of the box that way. They aren’t born that way. That wiring is made the same way that your thoughts and beliefs and skills are made. They are learned and then they are practiced until they become deeply ingrained neural pathways. Just like any art is a skill that can be learned, you can wire your brain to create the pathways you want.
[11:21] So back to me at 13 here, I am convinced my brain wasn’t meant for sports or athleticism. And yet the next year or so I started playing tennis. Not well, obviously because my brain wasn’t wired for it. But after that I got into swimming. Again, I wasn’t great, but I didn’t drown.
[11:38] After swimming came kickboxing, and then came weightlifting. And somewhere in between, there was also those two half marathons. Remember that episode? I might hate running, but I’ve had some good lessons out of that experience that I got to share with you.
[11:50] So I’m not an elite athlete in any of those sports. But that doesn’t matter. I’ve proved 13 year old me wrong over and over and over. I am a weight lifting chingona, and my brain didn’t suddenly rewire itself to become that overnight. First, I had to try to do the thing. Then I had to keep going back to do the thing over and over and over. And that’s how the brain is rewired into a new mindset. That’s how habits are formed.
[12:18] And that’s how beliefs are formed. Through this repetition the brain acquires proof of competency in the thing that you’re doing and then you gain confidence from that.
[12:29] And trust me when I tell you that confidence is super important when you’re lifting heavy. Like I mentioned at the top, if you don’t have confidence that you’re going to perform a lift, then you won’t. That bar can actually feel heavier when you have that mental load, that mental burden, on top of whatever weight you’re already trying to lift. Why would you do that to yourself? You can’t count those extra pounds, they don’t add to your PR. So you’re just actually making yourself worse at the thing that you’re trying to do.
[12:55] As a girl scout, I was taught that if you find yourself stuck out in the water and you’re wearing jeans, then you take those damn things off, you fill them with air so you can float. You don’t let your jeans wear you down. You don’t risk drowning because of a damn pair of jeans.
[13:10] So don’t let your mind add an additional burden, either to your lifts or to your day-to-day life. Because remember the mind is that powerful.
[13:19] I want you to think about that and how you can use it in your everyday lives. In your artistic pursuit, in your professional pursuits. What do you need to concentrate on in order to make your next big lift? Whether it’s getting through the commute today or getting that promotion next month? I want you to sit and visualize it happening both, like I mentioned, in your body and as if you’re watching it on TV.
[13:41] Practice that. And then let me know how it works for you. You know I love hearing from you, so just DM me or email me. The links are always in the show notes, and then we can talk about it.
[13:51] I could go on and on about this because there’s so much great science around this concept and you know how I love science and art together. But this episode is already long enough. So I will just say that we will continue this next time, because part three is all about progress. I’m going to break it down into three more life lessons that we can all get from weightlifting. But in the meantime, let’s recap.
[14:13] Three more universal truths that we can get from weightlifting are: one, be very aware of what you are consuming. Two, get a cheering squad. Make sure that you are in a supportive environment so you too can be successful at the things you want to do. And three, do not forget that your mind is powerful and you can either add a mental burden to your lifts, or you can remove one.
[14:36] And that’s it! Until next time mis amiges: stay hydrated and that’s a burrito! | <urn:uuid:a094e8a0-6544-494a-8eef-80f9ba3f0c3b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://themakermuse.co/episode-11-diet-cheer-squads-power-tools-life-lessons-from-weightlifting-part-2/ | 2022-09-26T15:50:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334912.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926144455-20220926174455-00107.warc.gz | en | 0.957277 | 4,190 |

How many times have you gotten the advice that a second opinion can be very helpful?
Many times, I'm sure. I've heard it myself, and it is always sage advice. Even though it is assumed (eg. in the Family Court) that a single opinion is all that is needed, there is much to be said for having that opinion gone over by someone who has expertise in the processes by which such opinions are made.
Having been in the business many years, I have seen many times when reports have failed to address important issues, failed to use valid tests or protocols, or omitted important details (often through no direct fault of the report writer). Strategically, it can be helpful to have an existing report examined with a microscope for such errors.
It is not always the case that a report will find its way into a courtroom in the way in which you expect. If you forget to ask for leave to commission a second opinion, it may be thrown out without further discussion, because the judge is not happy that you obtained a piece of evidence without his or her permission.
Such an oversight may seem disastrous, but this is not necessarily the case. A second opinion on a psychological report can be done in a way that provides you with questions that can be directed to the reporter on the stand, which they may not be able to answer, or which they may answer incorrectly. A well-written second opinion will ensure that even if your commissioned piece is tossed by the judge, the main points can still be brought to bear, to question the report on scientific and/or logical grounds and at the very least expose its limits (which are not something opposing solicitors are keen to admit to). It may also be of some benefit if it is provided to carers who are working with children whose parent is providing misinformation in a context of parental alienation.

Being innovative and thinking outside of the box are not only for inventors and historical figures. It is actually important to incorporate this type of thinking in your everyday life. It is easy to slip into a monotone lifestyle with responsibilities and challenges, which leads to feeling unsatisfied or disappointed. To avoid this, I make a point to surround myself with people and things that enlighten and inspire me. Recently, I was introduced to JORD Wood Watches, who are innovative with the business and design of their lovely watches for men and women. As a great and stylish example, I want to share with you the importance of surrounding yourself with innovation and how JORD Wood Watches is part of that. Make sure you scroll to the end to enter a JORD Wood Watches giveaway.
In a time where we have access to so many resources to implement any idea, it takes more effort to not become overwhelmed or just settle. This is why I feel it is important to surround yourself with inspiration: examples of others who made it happen and things that represent what you value. Understand that feeling uncomfortable is what will push you beyond feeling overwhelmed, if you accept it. Ideas that are easily accepted by others are not big enough. It might work, but it will not satisfy your desire and purpose as would an idea that others think is crazy. It is that challenge that will create something incredible rather than something convenient.
This is why I am so excited to share with you JORD Wood Watches. Each of their hand-crafted wood watches tell a story. I am wearing their Frankie Zebrawood & Navy watch. JORD only uses whole wood stock to create these watches. I love the pattern of this wood because it has so much character. It is like the imprint of a fascinating life. The large blue face is made with sapphire glass and feels modern and sleek. I love how this unique watch combines bohemian and polished style.
To me, this cool watch is part of an incredible idea. This is the type of innovation that can shake off life’s struggles and inspire an enlightening conversation. As simple as it looks, this mindset can really make an impact in your life. Taking the time to recognize and appreciate the innovation within and around you can help keep positivity a priority in your life. This wood watch is not just about style, it is about making a statement with substance.
Now, JORD is hosting a contest just in time for your Christmas list, because some of us do check off gifts before Thanksgiving or during Black Friday…right? All you have to do is fill out your name and email to enter to win a $75 e-gift code to shop JORD watches. Everyone else will receive a $20 e-gift code. It is a win-win for everyone! With so many unique women’s and men’s watches to choose from, you will definitely find something to treat yourself or a loved one. The contest ends December 1st. Click here to enter. Good luck!

On Friday night of last week Robert and Maxwell went on their cub scout campout. Thankfully it wasn’t nearly as cold as last year and they had pre-constructed tents to sleep in! Hardly roughing it at all!
(yes, that is the best picture I got from Robert!)
I decided to be nice and let the Bobbsey twins sleep with me back at home. Considering how pitiful I slept with the two of them in the bed I’m pretty sure I was the one roughing it! ha!
On Saturday night, I took the kids to see the Kidz Bop concert! Well, I took 2 of my kids. Spencer decided to go to a birthday party he got invited to so Maxwell got to invite Jack to come with us. We met up with some friends before and everyone was excited…
We were up in the cheap seats but it was fine. The kids enjoyed it and everyone was dancing along in their seat…well, mostly everyone. 🙂
Samantha really didn’t like it when it got too loud in there though! ha!
My favorite line of the night was when she turned to me during one song and said excitedly, “Momma! Alvin, Simon, and Theodore sing this song!” Love her.
Can’t wait to take them all to a real concert someday!! | <urn:uuid:486458e2-64be-40a5-88e9-9b614dfa3089> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | http://thebrownbrickroad.com/2018/10/weekend-fun-5/ | 2019-03-23T14:21:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202872.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20190323141433-20190323163433-00485.warc.gz | en | 0.987379 | 287 |
Repotting seedlings is important in order to grow strong plants for your garden. In this post I will talk about the benefits, and tell you when to transplant seedlings into pots. I’ll also show you the best types of containers and soil to use, and give you step-by-step instructions for how to pot up seedlings.
Repotting seedlings is exciting because it means your plants are growing! Moving them into bigger pots means larger, healthier plants for your garden!
Transplanting seedlings into pots isn’t a required step in successful seedling care. Many seedlings will grow just fine without being repotted.
But they can start to suffer if they’re left pot-bound in those tiny seed cells for too long, which can stunt their growth. It’s important to learn the signs to look out for, so you’ll know exactly when to move seedling to bigger pots.
Here’s what you’ll find in the guide to repotting seedlings. You can click the links to skip ahead, or simply keep reading to learn everything you need to know!

- When To Repot Seedlings
- Best Soil For Seedlings
- Types Of Seedling Containers
- How To Repot Seedlings
- Caring For Newly Potted Seedlings
Do Seedlings Really Need To Be Repotted?
The short answer is No. Not all seedlings need to be repotted. Potting up seedlings is an optional step, and is not required for each and every plant.
In fact, you should only pot up seedlings if they need it. Do not try to repot tiny or immature seedlings (e.g.: seedlings that don’t have a lot of growth, or haven’t grown their true leaves yet).
Some seedlings will be just fine staying in the seed trays all the way up until the time you transplant them into the garden. But others will suffer if left pot-bound in those tiny seed cells for too long.
The larger the seed, the more likely it is that you’ll need to pot them up. Seedlings that start as teeny tiny seeds may not require repotting. Large seedlings on the other hand will grow best if they’re transplanted into bigger containers as they mature.
Benefits Of Repotting Seedlings
There are many benefits of potting up seedlings, and it’s a great way to ensure your seedlings grow strong and stay healthy.
Potting up seedlings gives them more room to grow and mature. If seedlings are pot-bound in those small trays for too long, it can stunt their growth.
Transplanting seedlings into pots will also give them plenty of room to mature into small plants by the time they’re ready to be planted into the garden. This gives them a much better chance of success!
Seedlings growing in their own pots will also help increase airflow, which lowers the risk of mold growth. Plus, they won’t be competing with each other for light and fertilizer once they’re out of the seed trays.
When To Repot Seedlings
So how do you know when to pot up seedlings then? There are several signs to look out for so that you know exactly when to move seedlings to bigger pot.
It’s time to pot up seedlings when…
- they have grown to be twice as tall as the height of the container they’re in
- there are a lot of roots growing out of the bottom of the seed cells (i.e.: they’re pot-bound)
- they’ve stopped growing larger, or their growth is stunted
- the soil dries out so quickly that you have to water the trays daily (or more!)
Best Potting Soil For Seedlings
When it comes to the type of soil to use for potting up seedlings, you have choices. You don’t have to buy any special seedling potting soil, you can use whatever you have on hand.
Just make sure the soil you choose isn’t too heavy (and never use garden soil!). It’s best to repot seedlings using a lightweight soilless mix so their roots can grow easily. Also, don’t use any type of soil that has fertilizer in it, because it can harm sensitive seedlings.
Different Types Of Seedling Containers
When it comes to choosing the best type of container to use for potting up seedlings, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Choose a container that’s about twice the size of the seed cells (a 3-4″ pot size usually works great). And always be sure any plastic containers you choose to use have drainage holes in the bottom (or poke the holes yourself).
At a super high level, there are basically two types of containers you could use to pot up seedlings: non-plantable pots or plantable pots…
1. Non-plantable pots
These types of pots are usually made out of plastic. You can reuse some of them year after year, while you make others yourself out of recycled materials. Here are a few examples:
- Reusable plastic nursery pots
- Plastic cups
- Yogurt containers
- Bottom half of plastic water bottles
- Other small plastic containers you can find in your recycling bin
2. Plantable pots
Plantable pots are made out of biodegradable materials, and you can plant them directly into the garden. Here are some examples of each:
- Coco coir pots
- Recycled paper pots
- Peat pots
- Containers made out of other organic materials (like cow manure pots!)
- DIY newspaper pots
How To Repot Seedlings Step-By-Step
Once you determine which of your seedlings need to be repotted, it’s time to get them ready for their big move. To make it easier on them (and on you), water your seedlings several hours before you pot them up.
A moist rootball will hold together better than a dry one, making transplanting easier. Ensuring your seedlings are well hydrated will also minimizing the risk of transplant shock.
Follow these easy step-by-step instructions for repotting seedlings into larger containers…
Supplies Needed For Potting Up Seedlings
You don’t need a lot of supplies for potting up seedlings. Heck, you may already have many of these items laying around the house. Here’s what you’ll need…
- Potting soil
- Trowel or spoon
- Potting tray (optional)
- Tray for seedlings after potting
- Plant tags or markers
Steps For Repotting Seedlings
Before you begin repotting seedlings, you might want to lay down a towel or a large bed sheet to catch any mess, and make cleanup easy.
Step 1: Get your stuff together – It’s best to have everything ready to go before you get started. When I have a bunch of seedlings to transplant, I use an assembly line method. I fill each pot up with about an inch of potting soil, then line them up to get them ready.
Step 2: Remove the seedlings from the seed cell – The key to this step is to be gentle and take it slow. Start by placing your fingers on either side of the stem, then flip the seed cell over. Squeeze the bottom of once cell until the seedling comes loose.
Make sure you don’t pull or grab the seedling by the stem to remove it. If you are having trouble, you can use a spoon, butter knife, or skinny trowel to pop the seedlings out of the cell.
Step 3: Straighten the seedling roots – If the seedling roots are growing in a circular pattern or are tightly root-bound, then gently tease them apart to straighten them. Take care not to break off any roots in the process.
If there’s more than one seedling growing in a cell, then gently tease the roots apart to separate them. It’s important to plant each seedling into its own pot. They’ll be too crowded and won’t have enough space to grow if you don’t separate them.
Step 4: Fill the pot with dirt – Place the seedling into the pot at the same depth as it was growing in the seed cell (i.e.: don’t bury the stem). As you work to fill the pot, lightly pack the soil around the seedlings rootball with your fingers.
Step 5: Add a plant tag – Adding a plant tag to each pot will help you identify your seedlings later. If you don’t have plant tags, you can write on the side of plantable pots with a marker or paint pen. Or put a piece of tape on your plastic containers, and write on that (I like to use painters tape because it’s easy to remove later).
Step 6: Water the seedlings – Gently water each of your transplanted seedlings. It’s normal for the dirt to settle after you water them. If that happens, simply add a little more to top off them off.
Caring For Newly Repotted Seedlings
Once you have your seedlings potted up, there is a chance they will go into transplant shock. That means they may droop for a few days after being repotted. Don’t panic if this happens! It’s common and fixable.
Just put them under the lights, keep the soil consistently moist, and hold off on fertilizing until they recover. They should pop back up and look healthy again in a few days.
Repotting seedlings is a wonderful way to ensure that you grow strong, healthy seedlings for your garden. Once you learn the signs to watch for, you’ll know which seedlings need to be potted up, and exactly when to move seedlings into bigger pots.

HONG KONG, (FEBRUARY 2016)— Bburago announced today the launch of a new series of Ferrari automobiles called Ferrari Original Series. The initial models offered in this range are the F40 and the 250 GTO, both in 1/18 scale and both in Rosso Corsa (red).
“We think collectors worldwide will be very excited about the launch of these models,” said Rick Berman, Director of Licensing/Marketing/Design. ”The Original Series is made up of products that were offered by Bburago more than 15 years ago, but had thought to have disappeared. We acquired the tooling late last year from a warehouse outside of Milan, Italy, and have been working to be able to produce this product in our factory. That time has arrived.”
The range of Bburago Ferrari die-cast was beloved throughout the world, and especially in Italy, in the 80’s and 90’s. Out of the market due to exclusive distribution agreements, passionate fans of the Bburago Ferrari series may now once again fill their collections with one of the most innovative series of the period that helped to establish the die-cast collector movement. The F40 and 250 GTO will be available at retail in the 2nd quarter of 2016.
More information and photos, including 360˚ views, can be found on their website.

Sign Language App Review & Giveway!
"ASL Baby Sign"
I had the opportunity of reviewing a great app!
"ASL Baby Sign" application on the iPad is definitely under estimated by being called “ASL Baby Sign.” This app clearly has the capabilities of helping educators, parents, and other individuals desiring to learn sign language. "ASL Baby Sign" has awesome features unexpected in an ASL app – especially named “ASL Baby Sign.”
What I expected:
- Simple basic signs that can be taught to an infant, toddler, and young child.
- Basic flashcards child-friendly.
What I saw:
- An experienced interpreter signing 170+ signs
- Cute cartoons used
- The word presented with the sign and audio
What I didn’t expected:
- The awesome feature to edit the words on the screen (not that you want to edit them too much – I found the signs quite reliable but perhaps you wanted to put a capital letter versus a lower case or make it say “D for dog”).
- The ability to record your own voice so the person using the app hears that familiarity.
- The ability to add pictures to the photo gallery for potentially better recognition of the sign (how cool!)
- All this hard work you put into it can of course be saved (bonus) for future uses.
- The low price of $1.99
I was highly impressed. My expectations clearly were not in the same mind set as this app. I was expecting something strictly young child friendly and that’s it but I guess the therapist and educator in me saw this app having so much more potential than it’s title leads it to believe.
So with that being said, its negative:
- The title!
It clearly doesn’t portray all the great things this ASL app can do with a title like “ASL Baby Sign.” So many of the apps geared towards babies and sign language are so basic. This was not!
I highly recommend this app for parents and educators. If you didn't previously check out our ASL Dictionary app review (from the same company, AppSavers), click here!

Were already Forgiven !
Okay so this morning as I watched a movie called amazing love it's a story about Hosea which was a really amazing Stories one of my favorites in the Bible I recently came to love the book of Hosea so after I've watched that I started cleaning and cooking and as I was doing that I wasn't even really thinking about the movie but came up on my heart out of nowhere that for something in the past that I that I've done and I've asked for forgiveness from that person but didn't receive it
through the years I've never actually asked God to forgive me for that wrong that sin against that person!!
of that situation and it just popped in my head this morning about something happend
years ago it stuck out to me for something I've been praying for over the years and I've gave it to God and I knowing he's in control but I've never asked him to forgive me of that !!
and that really kinda bothered me that I've never done that before and it came clear to me that we've already been forgiven even if the person can't forgive us!
Christ has already forgiven us so it really not that it doesn't matter but we're already forgiven if we confess our sins to God and ask him when we've done wrong that it's already done and continue to worship and praise him and leave it at his feet cast your cares upon Him for he cares for us!
Even though the person hasn't forgiven me God did and I can truly be free from it !!!!
Knowing that he's in control the situation and it just really stood out to me that I have never actually done that and I just wanted to share with you guys
that you know for us to be forgiven we have to forgive as well from Jesus if we want him to forgive us of our sins but we can't forgive others it's not a double standard how can we expect to be forgiven if we can't forgive and it's just something I just really wanted to share with you guys it just got me thinking that maybe the person couldn't forgive me want it or not or not aware but it just didn't happen because I've never asked for forgiveness from God for that and it just kind of left me like wow
In kind of an amazement of what God was putting on my heart this morning out of nowhere and my situation had nothing to do with Hosea but in the sense it's so amazing of God's love for us even when we don't truly love him and then we come to realize that and love him it's so amazing and it's just about amazing love is what it's all about so I just wanted to share that with you guys have a blessed day and God bless

There’s nothing like a heart attack to make one look at life differently. This is a bit of a drastic step to have to take to get a body to stop and take stock of life and make some necessary changes, but I have always said, be careful what you pray for, you might get it in a way you didn’t expect and don’t welcome.
For some time now, workaholic that I am, I have asked God to show me how to reduce the chaos in my frantically busy lifestyle. ‘If only’, I have wailed, ‘I could stop time whilst I catch up!’ One of my besetting sins is being great at starting things but completely unrealistic about the time available to finish them, resulting in not only an untidy home but also an untidy - and very tired - mind, as I have so many things on the go at the same time: hence my heartfelt prayer.
The redeeming factor here of course is that, whilst I am only a puny, fallible human being with an over-developed sense of my own abilities, God is the exact opposite. He is all-powerful, all-knowing and fortunately all-forgiving, ever ready to accept our failings if only we acknowledge them and bring them to him in prayer. And if we open our minds and hearts long enough to listen to the replies to our prayers, he is also all-helpful. And if we are willing to let go of our self-will long enough to act on God’s promptings and make changes in our lives then indeed miracles can happen.
Being told to take three months off work for the good of one’s health turns out to be as good a way as any to say ‘Stop the world, I want to get off.’ The enforced idleness is a bit like being in on a retreat, giving time and space for reflection. The downside is the guilt, those little voices in one’s head that whisper ‘you should be doing this, you ought to be doing that, you must do the other.’ I have come to the conclusion that these are not in fact the promptings of Godly duty, but devious messages from the demon that is Screwtape’s nephew. Listening to them grinds us down and wears us out until we are no use to anyone - result to the Devil!
It is not selfish to look after oneself. First-aiders are taught that to be any use whatever they must first consider how not to put themselves at risk; a mother on a plane is taught to put on her own life-jacket before helping her child.
Time spent in contemplative prayer is never wasted. That still small voice we only hear when the noise around us fades can radiate out to reach and enrich every part of our lives. We can use our quiet times to evaluate - what is really important to us? Where is God in our lives? Is he first, last and central to everything we do, or is he sidelined to a service on Sunday and a few mid-week requests?
Sometimes it is hard to know how best we can change in response to God’s messages, but help is always at hand in the scriptures: there is no human dilemma which is not portrayed in the Bible for our edification. When I am struggling to make the perfect decision that will enable me to change the world for the better, I remember Jesus gently explaining to the disciples that the Kingdom of Heaven is elsewhere; our job is merely to follow him. All we need to do is follow Christ, keep our own side of the street clean, and leave the rest to God. He has no hands but ours but he’s pretty clear at telling us what to do with them, if we only take some notice.
September, the start of the new academic year, is for many a time of new beginnings after the rest and recuperation of the summer holidays. I hope you will join me in looking forward to the future: I hope we can remember together the words the Angel Gabriel spoke to Mary: ‘God will take care of everything,’ he said. ‘Nothing is too hard for him.’
A sermon preached by Fr. Neil on Sunday 16th July
I was talking recently to a priest friend who serves in one of the Cathedrals of our country. And the most unheard-of things are soon to happen there - lay people will be leading the intercessions and administering the chalice. Can you believe it? Whatever next? No wonder people say the Church is losing the plot!
And, I gather, some have written and complained, saying they will not come to communion if they have to receive ‘it’ from a lay person. I felt rather proud of our parish; I said we got over that years ago. Now people only stay away if they don’t want to sing modern songs at an all-age Eucharist. Surely that’s a more valid reason than lay people administering the chalice?
It of course got us on to a fascinating discussion about where true loyalties lie; needless to say, in parish church, in cathedral, we really have lost the plot compared to the faithfulness of the first disciples of the early church. Indeed, if the first disciples did get so
worked up about things would they ever have got the church off the ground and given us something to belong to today, even if it is sometimes on our terms and not God’s? Is our membership of the church driven by a desire to get what we want, regardless of other people’s needs? Like a spoilt child, if we don’t get want we want, we sometimes won’t
play. Whilst some are spending time and energy mourning the church of yesterday, others are spending time and energy, and money, and enthusiasm, seeking to secure a church of tomorrow.
People talk of the Sacrament of the present moment and indeed there is an argument for saying it is the most important sacrament of all. It is now we are sent to witness to our faith. Maybe tomorrow too, but tomorrow won’t come for everyone. It is now God meets us in the Sacrament at the Altar, perhaps tomorrow too. It is the fundamental message of the Incarnation – the message of the Crib – God is here. He is with us: Emmanuel. It is, or should be, that realization of God in our midst that calls us to our knees in prayer and worship, and sends us out on our feet in love and service.
Plans and policies most certainly have their place, as I have said before. We need targets to aim for so that we don’t become complacent. But whether it is seeking to involve the laity more, seeking to involve children and young adults more in worship, seeking to put together intricate systems for pastoral care, seeking to encourage those with no faith to embrace faith, all we do, day by day, should be within the framework and context of mission and we must realize the part we are each called, by virtue of our baptism, to play in God’s mission. We don’t do it for ourselves but for him who laid down his life for us.
You see we can’t come to worship a God who has given his heart away, when the driving force within us is getting what we want. With a selfish attitude, how can we encounter the self-less God? All our activities must be set within the context of Mission, the theme of today’s readings; without that driving force there is no real sense of us doing the Lord’s work.
In an interview with the newly elected Primate of America’s Anglican Church in ‘Time’ magazine, Bishop Katherine Jefferts Schori was asked: ‘What will be your focus as head of the U.S. church?’ She replied saying: ‘Our focus needs to be on feeding people who go to bed hungry, on providing primary education to girls and boys, on healing people with AIDS, on addressing tuberculosis and malaria, on sustainable development. That ought to be the primary focus.’ That, in a word, is mission. All too easy for us to forget when we are caught up, sometimes rightly, in church politicking.
In today’s Gospel reading Jesus sends his apostles out on their first mission without him, and without any visible means of support. They certainly didn’t have computers or internet access; they certainly didn’t have stipends paid by the church commissioners or large vicarages to live in; they certainly didn’t have electronic diaries and Excel spreadsheets. No laser printing, no working contract or annual appraisal. No performance-related pay, Christmas bonuses and golden hand-shakes. They didn’t have two or three cars parked in their drive and first-class rail travel!
What did they have? They had a living faith. They had a real desire for that faith to be shared, for they knew it didn’t belong solely to them but to the whole world. They had a real passion for preaching the Gospel and bringing people to know and understand the love of God made known in Jesus Christ. That was their raison d’etre. That was their life. Without such zeal and enthusiasm would the church have survived beyond their lifetime?
many of us and our churches’ pronouncements, when they spoke about the
poor, they actually knew what it felt like! They weren’t going out in
order to get their own way, but to bring people to a knowledge of God’s
way for them.
How about us? Is our faith living, dying or dead? Do we have a real desire for the faith to be shared with the whole world or are we simply happy to take what we want from the church and forget others? Do we have a real passion for preaching the Gospel? Do we have zeal for the Gospel? Do we have enthusiasm? Will the church survive into another generation because of our witness? Of course it is a scary prospect: none of us adapts easily to change. We all find it easier to stay within our familiar comfort zones, me included. But change is at the very heart of the Gospel.
leave here we are sent out like the people in the gospel reading, to
take what really matters to the world. We perhaps need a change of
heart, a change of priorities, a change of outlook, a change of
attitude. No sacrifice, no success. Many of us could continue to stay
in cloud cuckoo-land saying our prayers; or we can open our eyes to the
reality of the church in the world today and grasp the opportunities,
for they are endless. And if the church does seem to be a new creation
in the 21st century, that doesn’t mean it is the work of the devil! Who
knows, maybe God wants His church to be a new creation?
Last month, we finally received confirmation that St Faith’s has benefited from a very generous bequest from the late John Taylor in the sum of £145,000 for which we thank God.
This is excellent news but, large though the legacy is, we must use it wisely. There is huge pressure on our day-to-day needs in the parish, with gas costs rising at an alarming rate and the 2007 Parish Share going up by 8% to over £40,000. We must not forget, too, our church’s mission - but there are other needs as well.
The Premises Committee has been considering the replacement of the heating system and emergency electrical safety work in the hall and church will be undertaken shortly. There is dry rot in the sacristy and roofing repairs are needed. We have also just received a generous donation towards the provision of disability access. The PCC is meeting in September to consider these and other issues, so please pray for us as we wrestle with so many competing demands.
Saints in September
4th – Saint Cuthbert, Bishop
Born about 634, St Cuthbert died on Farne Island, Northumberland on 20 March 687. By tradition a shepherd boy, he became monk and later prior at Melrose. After the Synod of Whitby in 664, he became prior of Lindisfarne, and gradually won over the community to Roman customs. Although zealous in preaching the Gospel, he was most deeply attracted to the life of a hermit, and in 676 left the monastery to live in solitude on the island of Inner Farne. For the last two years of his life he served as Bishop of Lindisfarne but returned to his island to die. His incorrupt remains were removed from their resting place at Lindisfarne to escape Viking raiders, and on this day were eventually enshrined at Durham, which with Lindisfarne has remained a centre of his cult to this day. He is remembered as the most popular of the Anglo-Saxon saints of Northern England.
19 September – St Theodore of Canterbury, Bishop
Born at Tarsus (Turkey) about 601, St Theodore died at Canterbury on this day in 690. A Greek by birth, Theodore was a monk in Italy who was not ordained priest until he was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury by Pope Vitalian in 666 at the age of 65. He arrived in England in 669, and for the rest of his life reorganised and reformed the life of the Church throughout the country, holding visitations and synods, establishing new dioceses and a great school at Canterbury, and reconciling divisions between those of the Celtic and those of the Roman tradition. He is remembered for his scholarship and for his bringing unity and organisation to a divided church.
24 September – Our Lady of Walsingham
This feast celebrates the shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham in Norfolk, one of the great pilgrimage centres of medieval times. The lady of the manor of Walsingham, Richeldis de Faverches, was instructed by a vision of the Virgin Mary to build in her village an exact replica of the house in Nazareth in which the Annunciation had taken place. The vision occurred, according to tradition, in 1061, though a more likely date for the construction of the shrine is a hundred years later. The original house was destroyed at the Reformation, but during the 19th and early 20th centuries pilgrimage to Walsingham was revived both for Anglicans and for Roman Catholics.

FR DENNIS’S THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
A Crabbit old woman
This poem first appeared in 'Beacon House News', a magazine of the Northern Ireland Association for Mental Health. A young nurse worked at the Ashludie Hospital, Dundee, and discovered the poem when going through the possessions of an old woman who had recently died. Sister Crellin had the poem engraved on a silver plaque in her Ward office. It provides a timely reminder to us all always to look closer.
What do you see, nurses, what do you see?
Are you thinking when you are looking at me –
A crabbit old woman, not very wise,
Uncertain of habit, with far-away eyes,
Who dribbles her food and makes no reply
When you say in a loud voice – ‘I do wish you’d try’.
Who seems not to notice the things that you do,
And forever is losing a stocking or shoe,
Who, unresisting or not, lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding, the long day to fill.
Is that what you’re thinking, is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse, you’re not looking at me.
I’ll tell you who I am as I sit here so still,
As I rise at your bidding, as I eat at your will.
I’m a small child of ten with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters who love one another.
A young girl of sixteen with wings on her feet,
Dreaming that soon now a lover she’ll meet:
A bride soon at twenty - my heart gives a leap,
Remembering the vows that I promised to keep:
At twenty-five now I have young of my own,
Who need me to build a secure happy home:
A woman of thirty, my young now grow fast,
Bound to each other with ties that should last:
At forty, my young sons have grown and have gone,
But my man’s beside me to see I don’t mourn:
At fifty once more babies play round my knee,
Again we know children, my loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me, my husband is dead,
I look at the future, I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing young of their own,
And I think of the years and the love that I’ve known.
I’m an old woman now and nature is cruel –
‘Tis her jest to make old age look like a fool.
The body it crumbles, grace and vigour depart,
There is now a stone where I once had a heart:
But inside this old carcase a young girl still dwells,
And now and again my battered heart swells.
I remember the joys, I remember the pain,
And I’m loving and living life over again.
I think of the years all too few - gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, nurses, open and see
Not a crabbit old woman, look closer - see ME!
Harry Roberts R.I.P.
Sermon preached by Fr. Neil at Harry’s Funeral Mass
‘Family’ is at the very heart of our thoughts today, for Harry was very much a family man and a guiding light in Harry’s life was undoubtedly the Christian Faith experienced through membership of the Christian Family. The Christian Faith has been a major part of Harry’s life in his attendance at church, singing in the choir at an early age, through many years faithful service at St. Nicholas, where among other things he was a sidesman, and for many years a faithful member of St. Faith’s.
Harry was a staunch member of the 8 o’clock congregation here and when I first arrived I realized that in Harry, we had a character! Unlike some people at St. Faith’s who do a marvellous job of smiling at the Vicar in one breath, then moaning and criticizing behind his back, Harry wasn’t like that. If he didn’t like something, the Vicar would be the first to know, and first hand. If only there were more like that.
In my first Advent I decided the 8 o’clockers should get a short homily. Harry disagreed. When I asked why he said ‘because you talk at us, and we can’t answer back!’ Refreshingly honest. Not that it stopped him giving his opinion on what you said. But you always knew with Harry it was truthful, heartfelt and honest and sincere.
Many will know Harry for his faithful years of service on the parole board of the prison service – something which he took very seriously and was passionate about. I gather that when he used to annoy her, Dottie would threaten to ring the prison governor and see if there was a spare cell going! He was proud of a framed hand-made certificate given to ‘Sir Harry Roberts’ from someone to commemorate the visit of Princess Anne to the prison. Harry was involved in Merseycare and thoroughly enjoyed his work visiting former prisoners. His sense of compassion would put many a so-called practising Christian to shame!
Many will know Harry for his work as a teacher and in his teaching career he served as deputy at Waterloo County School and was Head of Middle School at Manor High School and was involved with the work of the N.U.T. in this local area.
Harry made a great deal of friends over the years, many of whom held him in very special and high regard. But it was at the Liverpool Institute he began a friendship with Ronnie Woan which was to last some 75 years. What a record!
He was a life member of Merseyside County Schools Football Association and worked for them as auditor. He was an independent member of the local review committee at Walton, a member of St. Mary’s Old Boys’ Club and treasurer of Crosby and District Schoolboy Footballers. Harry was a Liverpudlian when it came to football and was not only proud of L.F.C. but of Liverpool as a city.
He thoroughly enjoyed his work on the recently-folded community forum and he served the committee of the Crosby Festival. Harry had a passion for justice and fairness and believed that we are put on earth to make a difference. Harry, you most certainly did!
Harry enjoyed a happy retirement, and a well deserved one, and of course it was a source of real joy for all of us when two years ago on 7th July he married Sheila here in this church at the grand age of 85.
What a remarkable, fun-filled, action-packed, hard-working life! Even in his last few days in the hospital he would share his views with the nurses on the state of the nation and hadn’t given up on his passion for justice and a better world.
Now of course, Harry knows better than we do about that world referred to in our first reading. A world which enjoys the fullness of justice, of equality, of light, happiness and peace. A world which we can only glimpse as we journey though life; yet a glimpse which is somehow nearer to us when people like Harry contribute to the well-being of our world. Yes, Harry, the world is much definitely a better place because of you.
So now, it is our privilege as well as our sad task, to commend Harry to the arms of the one who created him and sustained him through his 87 years. If anyone ever deserved a rest, it is Harry. As we commend his soul to God’s mercy we pray that those same arms of love will comfort and strengthen us. And that is where Harry would want us to turn today: to God, and to one another.
Our next hymn puts it so well:
Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm,
Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,
Your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end of the day.
As we reflect on, and celebrate, Harry’s life it may well seem to us that he has now come to the end of the day. But of course the truth is for Harry, a new day has only just begun.
As someone once said: ‘Death is not extinguishing the light. It is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.’
‘Would you Adam and Eve It?’
God said, ‘Go down into that valley.’
And Adam said, ‘What’s a valley?’ and God explained it to him.
Then God said, ‘Cross the river.’ And Adam said ‘What’s a river?’ and God explained it to him.
And then God said, ‘Go over the hill.’ And Adam said, ‘What’s a hill?’ and God explained it to him.
Then God told Adam, ‘On the other side of the hill, you will find a cave.’ And Adam said, ‘What’s a cave?’ And God explained that to him.
‘In the cave you will find a woman.’ And Adam said, ‘What’s a woman?’ So God explained that to him, and said, ‘I want you to reproduce.’ And Adam said, ‘How do I do that?’ So God explained it to him.
So off went Adam, down into the valley, across the river, and over the hill, and into the cave, and found the woman, and in about five minutes he was back.
God said angrily, ‘What is it now?’ And Adam said, ‘What’s a headache?’
Licensing of Fr Neil
The Bishop of Warrington will be coming to St. Faith’s on 24th September to license Fr Neil as Diocesan Adviser on Liturgy and Worship. This is a new post in the Diocese and as part of his work, Fr. Neil will be a member of the Diocesan Church Growth and Ecumenism Team.
welcome to this Diocesan Service. The music will be led by our choir
and visiting musicians from Ormskirk Parish Church and will be followed
by a glass of wine.
the great questioner..
by Fr. Neil, from the Franciscan Priest Richard Rohr, writing in the
latest issue of Third Way (http://www.thirdway.org.uk/) magazine...
‘Jesus is asked 183 questions directly in the four Gospels. He only answered three of them forthrightly. The others he either ignored, kept silent about, asked a question in return, changed the subject, told a story or gave an audio/visual aid to make his point, told them it was the wrong question, revealed their insincerity or hypocrisy, made the exactly opposite point, or redirected the question elsewhere!
Check it out for yourself. He himself asks 307 questions, which would seem to set a pattern for imitation. Considering this, it is really rather amazing that the church became an official answering machine and a very self assured program for ‘sin management’.
Many, if not most, of Jesus’ teaching would never pass contemporary orthodoxy tests in either the Roman Office or the Southern Baptist Convention. Most of his statements are so open to misinterpretation that should he teach today, he would probably be called a ‘relativist’ in almost all areas except one: his insistence upon the goodness and reliability of God. That was his only consistent absolute.’
Fr Neil writes:
I gather that when Fr. Richard wanted to appoint Ged as Director of Music at S. Faith’s there were complaints from some. I know of certain people (one of whom left after I arrived as I was the wrong appointment too!) who requested an audience with my predecessor only to tell him who should be given the job. And people claimed he was too young and inexperienced. How could he possibly do the job? It just goes to show how wrong our impressions can be, because at this stage in the game I don’t think any of us could imagine St. Faith’s choir without Ged. We have been quite rightly proud of our choir’s achievements over the past ten years. And those achievements have not just been seen or heard in S. Faith’s but in Cathedrals and Royal Chapels up and down the country as well as the medium of BBC1 TV and BBC Radio Merseyside. He has admirably built on the work of Jane Greengrass, Mike Foy and George Gilford and indeed all those who have served before.
Ged has endeared himself to all, young and old alike, and his commitment to the choir of S. Faith’s has often gone beyond duty to care, compassion and friendship in all kinds of ways. A year or so ago we tried to put a contract in place. It took about a year to do so,
and I hope I’m not speaking out of turn when I say that Ged didn’t really take to the idea! That’s fine – not everyone gets excited about bureaucracy and red tape (and we certainly need a few more priests to sit lightly to all that). But of course one of the reasons he never took to the idea is that Ged never saw his role in such black and white terms! His work often took him beyond services he was scheduled (and indeed paid) to play for, to helping out for all sorts of things when many other organists would have said no! If he was free, Ged would be found in a whole variety of churches playing for all kinds of services, as well as accompanying concerts, teaching and generally enjoying making music and encouraging others to do so. The young musicians of Liverpool and Sefton couldn’t have had a better person to teach and encourage them than their young (and even more young at heart) ‘Mr Callacher’.
In Ged the choir has had someone who has cared about not just their musical life but their individual lives too. He is a sympathetic listener, a person to offer practical help and has the great gift of knowing how to lighten a situation without taking away from any serious issues that may be present.
People of course ask silly questions: ‘Why do you want to be a priest when you could do something with your life?’ Needless to say such people never understand the concept of service and sacrifice, or less still vocation. Ged will take to his ministry a wealth of understanding, a wealth of people-skills, a deep understanding of Anglican liturgy and pastoral practice which many other Catholic seminarians will only ever hear of or read about. Certainly the future of the church, in ecumenical eyes, needs people like Ged to serve it.
The wife of a former curate said to me some years ago, people never leave St. Faith’s, they just move away! I hope that Ged will continue to be a friend of this community for many years to come and that he leaves for the seminary knowing he has our love, our support and our friendship.
Lord, you told us that ‘The harvest indeed is great but the labourers are few. Pray, therefore, the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into His harvest.’ As we thank you for the blessings we have received in this place through Ged’s years of faithful service and companionship, we ask you to strengthen him as he follows a new path to which You have called him. We pray for all those called to serve as priests, deacons and lay ministers:
Those whom You have called,
Those You are calling now,
Those You will call in the future.
May they be open and responsive to the call and privilege of serving your people.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Holiday Club Happenings 2006
The fourth annual extravaganza that is the Saint Faith’s Holiday Club was a marvellous occasion. The five pages of preceding pictures tell the story and show that, needless to say, A Good Time was Had By All. The words below – from the Vicar, and from one of the children, complete the picture.
With Many Thanks
Thank you Joan – and your team – for giving the young people of our community another week to remember. It was all huge fun: there was a marvellous atmosphere; the children were extremely well behaved and appreciative and that of course make the whole thing worthwhile. Doubtless other reports will appear, and not a few photos, but many thanks to all who gave of their time, talents and energy to give 50 young people in our community a week to remember.
St Faith’s Holiday Club
I would like to tell everyone how much fun the holiday club was. Me and my sister Marcie really enjoyed ourselves. The week was all about outer space. Our group was the ‘Martians’.
On Monday we got together and shaped bits of modeling clay into the shape of the moon, and made little finger prints on it. It was a pencil holder, so we stuck a pencil in it. Then we got two paper plates and painted them, and then there was lunch break. Then we drew two clouds and one rocket, and we stuck little stars on the clouds. We also drew two planets and coloured them in. Then we got two glitter pens and drew some lines and we drew another little rocket. We chose our favourite coloured paper and stuck it over two rockets and chose one glitter pen and drew a door and a window onto our rockets. Then we went into the church and played with the parachute and learned some songs.
On Tuesday the rockets, clouds and planets were made into a mobile. The first two children to finish off their flying saucers, were me (that’s Josie Appleton) and Fay Bennett, my best friend. We stuck on five smily faces and five plain stickers for the portals, and right now our mobiles and flying saucers are hanging in our kitchen at home. Then we played for about twenty minutes. Then we made some little fluffy door hangers to put on our bedroom door handles. Then we had our lunch and took off our badges, put our caps on, got on the coach and went to the Space Station. The Space Station was great fun! I can’t tell you all about the Space Station because it would take forever.
On Wednesday we got the lid of a shoebox, and took a rainbow coloured crayon and coloured in the background. We got some stars and some glitter pens and we stuck on the stars, and drew some comets with the glitter pens. Then we stuck some planets, a space shuttle and an astronaut. And if you didn’t have one of those you could just cut one out. We also coloured in some little space pictures and then cut them out, and put them in the special machine which made them into badges.
On Thursday we had a full day out at Stockley Farm. First we went on the tractors, then after that we spent our pocket money on some toys. Then we fed the lambs. One of the groups of lambs was named after Thomas the Tank Engine, and Spongebob Squarepants! We had our lunch at the farm and then after that we played on a big heap of haystacks, and some of the children jumped off the high edge and fell in the hay! On Friday, we painted our moons yellow. We also chose a pencil and a sticker and cut out the sticker and put it on the pencil. So then we had our own little pencil pot and we had our own pencil to put in it. Then we painted the sun (on a paper plate), stuck on some sunglasses and then drew on a smiley face. Then after lunch we had a special service in the church, where we used our sun faces and sang some songs. Then me and Marcie went to the disco and had a lovely barbecue in Father Neil’s garden.
We would like to say ‘Thank you very much’ to everyone who looked after us at the holiday club. We had so much fun, why don’t you join the holiday club next year?
Fr. Neil writes:
In ‘The Healthy Churches’ Handbook’ Robert Warren makes many excellent points. Not all of them are as new as the book: one of the exercises he mentions was done at the Ministry Team away-day in 2000 when we were joined by the Vicar of Huyton (who incidentally has just been appointed Bishop of Lancaster). Some of what is said is echoed in the Diocesan Review (do a few things and do them well) and the point is made in his book that we should do the basics well, and here he means public worship, pastoral care, stewardship and administration. These were sentiments echoed by Linda Jones from the Church Growth and Ecumenism Team when she spoke at our last joint PCC’s away-day.
Pastoral Care is always difficult to get absolutely right. Our thinking has shifted, quite rightly, from seeing that ‘the church’ means a person in a clerical collar to a ministry of all the baptized. Over the years we have lost sight of that fact and very much ‘clericalised’ the church - look no further than the New Testament if you want to see that every member of the church has a ministry. As has been said many times before, the whole family of St Faith’s really does come into its own when people need caring for and visiting.
But it is easy for people to go unnoticed. This can happen for a variety of reasons. No longer are we in a situation where it can be guaranteed that the Vicar and his colleagues will be in the church every Sunday and will see every parishioner. All four priests here take our turn at covering other churches in many parts of the diocese. Let us not forget (I sometimes think we do) that we have a ministry team of four priests and three readers – many of my colleagues work single-handedly with two parishes or more. Please don’t forget how lucky we are compared to so many other parishes. So there are some Sundays when our clergy are elsewhere. But also it is true to say that a number of people who would call themselves ‘regular’ church-goers no longer attend church each week. Sunday is no longer the day it was. Patterns of work and family life have changed enormously. We all recognize that. All the more reason for us to keep our pastoral eyes open.
To this end a scheme which almost got off the ground a few years ago is being looked at again. It came about as a result of discussions at the Ministry Team Away Day in 2004 and it is basically seeking to involve more people in pastoral oversight. Known as ‘pastoral links’ these people (in most cases magazine deliverers) agree to keep an ‘eye’ on perhaps a dozen people at any time and, if they aren’t in church for a couple of weeks will let a member of the ministry team know. (In years past there was always an expectation that ‘Newslink’ deliverers would fulfil this sort of role by knocking on each door as the magazine was delivered, so in a sense it is not new; we are simply resurrecting an old system!)
People absent from church may of course be on holiday; there may be perfectly good reasons why they are not there. But we want to avoid a situation where someone missing goes unnoticed. It is not like a churchy version of Big Brother (or Big Sister); it is simply seeking to keep lines of communication open and reporting on when visits are necessary. I can guarantee that at least once a month I will go to the hospital only to come away and find out that someone has been there for days. But they haven’t told me, and usually the weekly sheet says which day I will be in the hospitals. It is better to find out from three people that someone is ill than to not know at all. Everyone will know who their ‘link’ person is: so you don’t have to sit during the service wondering who has their eye on you! And the link person’s phone number will be available so that, if people for example have difficulty in getting to church, the link person may be able to help with a lift. But they, like me, will not be clairvoyant! If there are special requests or difficulties it helps if we know. Communication is a two-way process.
The Ministry Team is finalizing this scheme and I hope it will be up and running in the Autumn. I would like us formally launch the scheme on All Saints’ Day, 1st November. Of course it doesn’t require an official launch but it is much better to get a scheme off the ground with a focus of prayer and commitment. To that end those who will act as pastoral links will, I hope, be making a dedication to that ministry on All Saints’ Day. More details next month.
The other new initiative from next month is that the Ministry Team will meet more frequently than once a month. Starting in September there will be a weekly meeting of the Team at 7.30am each Monday morning. The meeting will include breakfast (how else can I persuade people to come?) and will last no longer than 30 minutes, to allow people to go off to work. It has to be said that if we could have found a better time we would have done! But, as with many organizations, a weekly staff meeting sets the agenda for the coming week and, in our case, can reflect upon matters arising from the day before, whether they be liturgical, pastoral or otherwise. It is a huge commitment on behalf of the Team but we all realize the sacrifices that we personally have to make in order to give a strong lead to the mission of the parish. In the good old days of Vicars and full-time curates, most parishes had Monday morning ‘staff meetings’ to set out the week and I believe this can only be a good thing.
We will still meet on the last Tuesday of the month but with less ‘business’ to deal with those meeting can now be more wide-ranging, such as discussing topical issues in depth, sharing our thoughts on a recent book or report, or even enjoying a BBQ when the weather permits and simply getting to know each other better!
Please pray for your ministry team – we are committed to working together for the mission of our two churches and we need your prayerful support in order to help us do that. I believe there are very exciting times ahead.

Oh how true!
In the year 2006, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United Kingdom, and said, ‘Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans.’
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, ‘You have six months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights.’
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.
Noah!’ He roared, ‘I’m about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?’
‘Forgive me, Lord,’ begged Noah, ‘but things have changed. I needed a building permit.
I’ve been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system.
My neighbours claim that I’ve violated the local planning permission by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Appeal Board at the office of the Deputy Prime Minister for a decision.
Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark’s move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.
Getting the wood was another problem. There’s a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to 17
save the owls - but no go!
When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space. Then the Environment Protection Agency ruled that I couldn’t build the Ark until they’d conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.
I’m still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I’m supposed to hire for my building crew. The Department of Immigration and Naturalization, within the Home Office are checking the green-card status of most of the people who want to work. The trades unions say I can’t use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.
To make matters worse, the Inland Revenue have seized all my assets, claiming I’m trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species. So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least ten years for me to finish this Ark.’
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and asked, ‘You mean you’re not going to destroy the world?’
‘No,’ said the Lord. ‘The government beat me to it.’

Unfortunately due to work commitments, Claire Hockney, who helps to run the St Faith’s Rainbows Pack will no longer be able to do this very valuable and important job. Since April Mary McFadyen and myself (we run the Brownies) have taken it in turns to help Geraldine Forshaw on Monday evenings.
So, on behalf of St Faith’s Rainbows, I would like to appeal to anyone who may be interested in doing this very rewarding job. The Rainbows meet on Monday evenings (school term time only) between 4.45 and 5.45pm. The girls are aged between 5 and 7 years, and at the moment we have about 12 - 14 girls who regularly attend. Obviously a full CRB check would need to be done. If you are interested or know of someone who may be, please contact Fr Neil firstly.
If our appeal is unsuccessful, unfortunately, we may have to close our Rainbows.
The Hunger Site
As more and more people are surrendering to the blandishments of the internet, this is a good time to advertise once again the existence of an admirable website. The Hunger Site exists to relieve famine and hardship worldwide, and one of its principal weapons is the facility for anyone and everyone to fund food at the click of a mouse. The donations are paid for by sponsors, who naturally promote their wares on the site. But all you need to do is to add the site to your ‘favourites’, log on daily and with one click supply help. The website address is supplied via the ‘LINKS’ page from our own site and the editor, who put it there and uses it daily, hopes you will visit it regularly.
‘You shall go to the Ball, Cinders!’
With the success of last February’s pantomime ‘Dick Whittington’, we would like to go ahead and put on another show in February 2007. Rather than the gruelling six month rehearsal schedule we have come to know and love, we have decided to condense the whole process into a much shorter time period, which will hopefully encourage more people to get involved. At the moment, auditions are planned for September 16th (could be subject to change), with rehearsals commencing in late November (maybe a bit earlier for Principal characters). We may have to timetable some mid-week rehearsals, but we usually end up doing this anyway. Then, with an intensive January and February rehearsal schedule, all being well we will have another successful show week during the February half term (w/b 12th February). We have chosen ‘Cinderella’ as the next pantomime, so we’re now on the look out for budding Buttons’s, Dandinis and Ugly Sisters (no shortage there I’m sure). Similarly, I would be keen to know that we had enough volunteers for the non-stage activities, particularly, costumes and wardrobe, scenery and props, and for the front-of -house tasks during the week of the production. If you are able to and would like to help in any capacity, please let me know, and for all those who like to tread the boards, we will confirm the audition dates shortly.
Interlude in Bath
As part of our fiftieth anniversary celebrations, our family arranged a visit to Bath by train. Having a few hours to spare, on a warm, breezy July afternoon, we walked to the Abbey, now the parish church of Bath. Inside, we admired the amazing 16th century fan vaulting, the light flooding in through the windows and the memorials covering the walls. 19
The stunning flower arrangements which caught our eye used orchids and many other tropical flowers and leaves and had been specially created for the University of Bath graduation ceremony a few days before.
More striking, however, was the air of quiet reverence even though several hundred people were in the building. Then, on the hour, Revd Colin Maggs, Chaplain of the Abbey ascended the pulpit steps and asked for silence. He explained that every hour, there were a few minutes of public prayer to emphasise that the Abbey was not just a museum of historical treasures but a place of worship. We prayed for the world, for our own communities and families and for Christians wherever they may be. Later, Eric and I had a most interesting conversation with Colin Maggs who is a great railway enthusiast and the author of 70 books about local railway history, with another in preparation. He was recently awarded the M.B.E. for services to railway history. Colin drew our attention to the. Abbey’s great East window, which contains 56 scenes in the life of Christ. He gave us a copy of a leaflet, part of which is quoted below:
Jesus was born in an obscure town in Palestine called Bethlehem about 2,000 years ago. During his first 30 years he shared the daily life and work of an ordinary home. For the next three years he went about teaching people about God and healing the sick by the shores of Lake Galilee. He called twelve ordinary men to be his helpers. He had no money. He wrote no books. He commanded no army. He wielded no political power. During his life he never travelled more than 200 miles in any direction. He was executed by being nailed to a cross at the age of 33. Today nearly 2 billion people throughout the world worship Jesus as divine, the Son o f God. Through Jesus we discover God as our loving father and in our daily lives we encounter the same God as Spirit.
He taught that we are all infinitely precious children of one heavenly father, and that we should treat each other with love, respect and forgiveness. Jesus’s actions alone would not have led him to a criminal’s death, but his teaching challenged the religious and moral beliefs of the day. When, three days after he had died on the cros,s his followers did indeed meet him alive again, frightened and defeated men became fearless and joyful messengers.
The message of the good news about Jesus is the reason the Abbey exists. It is the reason why all over the world there are Christians who know what it means to meet the living Jesus.
May your time in the Abbey be a blessing to you
Indeed it was!

The Walsingham Circle
I’ll begin with a little background of the origins of the Circle, for those of you who wonder what it’s all about! Contrary to popular belief, this is not an exclusive club for people who have been to Walsingham. Yes, it has been founded by ten members of the Society of Our Lady of Walsingham from our United Benefice, but is very much open to all – indeed that is its function! All are welcome, and I’m sure there will be something for everyone in the coming year’s gatherings. These usually take place on the last Saturday of the month, either preceeding or following the Mass, at which special prayers of intercession are offered. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, so read on!
The first meeting of the Autumn ‘term’ will be held on Saturday, September 23rd, the Feast of Our Lady of Walsingham. We will meet at the Vicarage at 11 a.m., where Martin Jones will pose the question ‘How do we think of the risen, ascended Christ in relation to God’s eternally begotten Word?’ He will introduce the subject with a short explanation, then it will be open for discussion. We will move into church for Mass at 12 noon. Following the service all are invited to the home of Margaret Davies for a light lunch.
There will not be a meeting in October, so the next gathering will be November 25th. As it is the same day as the Craft Day, the Mass will take place at 12.15 p.m. This is to be followed by lunch at Joan and Bill Tudhope’s house. December 8th will be a Eucharist with Advent meditation held at 6.30 p.m., marking the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, followed by a Circle meeting at the home of Peter and Lynne Connolly, including mulled wine and mince pies.
If you are coming to any of the above three events, please let me know, purely for catering purposes! Ring me on 01744 889938 or e-mail email@example.com.
Future topics for discussion will include reviews and discussion on a couple of books detailed below. If anyone is interested in obtaining a copy of either book to peruse prior to this, please let me know, as I can submit a bulk order which may reduce the cost of postage.
‘Finding Sanctuary – Monastic Steps for Everyday Life’ has been written by Christopher Jamison, and is a follow-on from the TV series ‘The Monastery’. In it, he offers ways in which the lessons of monastic living and the teachings of S. Benedict can be put into practice in our hectic, modern and unmonastic lives. He outlines the wisdom of Saint Benedict and suggests how it can be applied to those who are not sure what they believe, but are looking for ways to find spiritual space and peace in the busy and often confusing world.
‘From the Abundance of the Heart’ is written by Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Reading and one of the authors of ‘Emmaus’, the Christian basics course and many other books. Cover review – ‘This joyful and vibrant new book puts mission and evangelism back to the top of the agenda for Christians of all strands of catholic tradition. To many the word ‘evangelism’ conjures up negative images of coercion and manipulation. His approach is realistic, generous, inclusive and creative. He presents a vision of an evangelising church that will embrace Christians of every tradition, and explores practical ways of developing structures and ministries that will establish a culture of evangelism in local churches.’
I am sure you will agree that both books look fascinating and I, for one, am looking forward to reading, learning from and discussing them together.
There will be regular quarterly updates in the magazine and on the website, giving further details of Circle meetings. If you have a particular subject which you think would be of interest to talk about or open for discussion, please let us know.
Look forward to seeing you on 23rd September.

1 Thing to Watch in Solar Power
The preceding video is from Tuesday's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill, along with analysts Lyons George and Charly Travers, discuss the top business and investing stories. In this segment, the guys look at the solar-power industry in response to a listener email.
State and national government support is crucial for companies in this industry, with First Solarbeing a prime example. Investors and bystanders alike have been shocked by First Solar's precipitous drop over the past 12 months, and the stakes have never been higher than they are now. Is the company done for good, though, or is it ready for a rebound? It could go either way. If you're looking for a recommendation on how to play First Solar, along with continuing updates and guidance whenever news breaks, Fool.com analyst Travis Hoium has authored a brand-new report that details every must-know side of this stock.

Mr. Mom (1983) / Comedy
MPAA Rated: PG for language, sensuality, and brief nudity
Running Time: 91 min.
Cast: Michael Keaton, Teri Garr, Martin Mull, Ann Jillian, Frederick Koehler, Taliesin Jaffe, Courtney White, Brittany White, Jeffrey Tambor, Christopher Lloyd
Director: Stan Dragoti
Screenplay: John Hughes
Review published September 7, 2005
After breadwinner Jack Butler (Keaton, Beetlejuice) gets laid off from his job, his wife Caroline (Garr, Young Frankenstein) heads out to make a living while he stays home with the three kids. Jack immediately finds out that being a stay at home Dad isn't as easy as it sounds, while Caroline learns about the difficulties that an attractive woman has working with the male-dominated office at work. Hilarity ensues.
Mr. Mom is only the second film scripted by John Hughes (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Christmas Vacation), and the first to really put his name on the map as a talent to watch in family comedies. It's formulaic sitcom material that works thanks to Hughes' inventive situations, Dragoti's (The Man with One Red Shoe, Necessary Roughness) ability to merge the comedy with musical cues and sight gags, and a very appealing cast of actors. Michael Keaton is in top form as a comedian in a manic but still endearing performance as a father trying hard to maintain a semblance of being the head of the house while his wife is the one that manages to take care of all of them financially.
In many ways, Mr. Mom would set the precedent for future comedies where a male lead actor is paired with children in order to score some laughs at their expense, allowing for ingratiating moments to make us like these actors a little more than we did before. Daddy Day Care, The Pacifier, Three Men and A Baby and many more were born from the formula, but none have been able to match this one in terms of creativity and genuine laughs.
By today's standards, it isn't so rare to find a woman out in the work place, especially pulling in more money than her husband. It's also not really all that novel for a father to share in the raising of the children, so in that way, perhaps the comedy is a bit dated. Still, the wittiness of Hughes script and Keaton's performance does carry the film into the real of an 80s classic that should please families looking for movies that will please young and old for generations to come.

I decided last minute to register for the San Jose Sharks Fitness Faceoff. They had a 5k and 10k available.
My reasoning for choosing the 5k:
- It has been over a year since the last time I ran a 5k because I always choose the 10k or longer distances.
- My area was in the middle of a heat wave and the quicker I could get out of the sun and heat the better since it was suppose to be 100 degrees that day.
- We were leaving for Tahoe (5 hour drive) that day so I needed a quick race.
- The race was only 15 minutes from my house, so it was a quick race with an easy location.
- Since I haven’t ran a 5k in ages I was curious to see what kind of time I could pull off.
I am so happy I signed up the day before and ran the 5k distance!
The race started right next to HP Pavillion a.k.a. “The Shark Tank”. For those that don’t know, the San Jose Sharks are a hockey team.
I got there, parked and walked to the starting line. The Shark’s Zambonis that clean the ice for the hockey games were out at the starting line which was fun.
The San Jose Shark’s mascot SJ Sharkie was out too, also fun.
The 10k started first at 8:00am and we started with the 5k at 8:15am. I felt good and my plan all along was push myself hard enough where I felt I could keep going, but knew I only had 3 miles to do. It was kind of weird since I am so used to 13.1 miles and the mindset of saving energy to finish the distance.
I was watching my time which was pretty consistently a little over and under 8 minute miles. I was pretty happy about this. I ended up with a PR of 24:52!!! Woohoo! I don’t think I have EVER been on page 1 of race results before!
I was the 16th female to finish and I was 6th for my age division. It was a 1,000 person race so I was pretty happy about this since I’m normally a midpack runner. My normal speed for a half marathon is between 9:30-10:45 min miles.
I am so glad I last minute decided to run this race and I won’t rule out 5ks in the future. Not to mention the race bling was super cute too. It is actually metal and looks like a little Sharks jersey.
I wonder if I can ever beat that PR…:) | <urn:uuid:6f8ca013-dd98-4a70-994d-74a4753c76dd> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://halfcrazymama.com/2013/07/01/san-jose-sharks-fitness-faceoff-5k-pr/ | 2017-06-23T10:27:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320049.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623100455-20170623120455-00090.warc.gz | en | 0.986564 | 557 |
“For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.” Richard Feynmen.
When I left the army in 1992 I got onto a plane to London where I got a job as a nursing assistant in an old age home in Surrey, while I was looking for a grown up job. The experience was thoroughly uplifting. Looking after old people in the twilight of their lives was amazing, at least for me. I think that they were utterly bored to be fair. Sitting in living rooms, they all had the 1000 mile stare and the highlight of the day was getting their Prozac pills that kept the loneliness at bay. Their kids would visit once every four weeks if at all and the old age diseases crept in, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s etc… And I remember how truly glad I was that I had grown up in the computer age and that I saw the Information age dawning in front of me.
When I reached that age, I vowed to myself I will be a grandmaster in Civilisation and a killer at Doom, That was 20 years ago. Now gaming and interactivity have gone from level to level and I am 100% certain that in the last 20 years there have been more advances in the digital world then there was in a 100 years before. Technologies have become self-perpetuating at such a rapid rate that we lose more than we are aware of. Betamax, HD DVD, 3D TVs, Curved TVs and now 2016’s go to technology, Virtual Reality. You can tell how popular a technology is by watching how professionals quickly update their CVs on linkedin to let the world know that they are “this-or-that” expert. Expert these days means you have read about it online.
But back to VR. I have no doubt that VR is definitely here to stay. But I am also even more sure that it will not survive in its current format. Clunky helmets that do not take hygiene into account is definitely not a sharing experience. I have two teenagers in the house and our facial oil production is on OPEC levels. Sharing VR glasses is just not going to happen.
The media houses are taking to VR like desperate ducks to water. Thinking (again) that adopting a new technology will save their businesses but with content production specifically, video production sinking faster than the Titanic I have no doubt that the Pewdiepie of VR is all already playing around with the super cheap Ricoh Theta and thinking of content creation. CDs turned a generation into DJs, VJs and wannabe musicians, and youtube turned a generation of nerds into video editors I believe there will be even more amateur content creators in the foreseeable future fragmenting the market even more.
Where VR is going to make a huge difference is definitely in professional services. Doctors will soon truly be without borders as operations can be done live over continental distances. Or a mechanic in the heart of Africa can invite a professional to look at his trucks engine. With the robotic revolution happening the same time (however) I am not sure how long humans will be needed for such activities but for the time being it’s an exciting path!
I was in New York two weeks ago and in the Samsung Flagship Store, we went on a VR ride with moving chairs and everything. It was super, really. We rode a roller coaster and even though I knew that I was in the store most of my senses were hijacked by the experience. I felt everything and actually had to close my eyes because I got scared. Totally freaky.
This can only bode well for my retirement days when I am sitting in an old age home twiddling my thumbs and experiencing a space flight in real time. But then again walking in a forest, feeling the crunch of leaves under you boots and the smell of pine needles in your nose… I wonder if VR would ever be able to emulate that.

ISO 50001:2018 is based on the management system model of continual improvement used in other standards (e.g. ISO9001 and ISO14001). By using the same model, it easier for organisations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management. The standard provides a framework of requirements to:-
- Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy
- Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
- Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use
- Measure the results
- Review how well the policy works
- Continually improve energy management
By using this framework it enables an organisation to achieve continual improvement of energy performance, including energy efficiency, energy use and consumption which results in a reduction of their energy costs and their greenhouse gas emissions.
WPSCC can guide you through all the steps you will need to take in order to successfully complete this standard and obtain the accreditation.

City learns that BLM â not the Coast Guard â owns the sand spit
By CHARLEE GLOCK-JACKSON
FOR GIG HARBOR LIFE
At the Nov. 24 meeting, the City Council approved exceptions to height limits for performance-based structures; saw a video that the city has created with several other west sound municipalities; and sent the 2015-16 budget back for another round of revisions.
In addition, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Ekberg swore in Savouth Uch as the city’s newest police officer.
But the big surprise was the announcement by City Administrator Ron Williams that the city has been wrong about who owns the sand spit at the mouth of Gig Harbor.
Earlier that day, at the monthly Intergovernmental Affairs Committee meeting, the city’s lobbyists announced that they had learned that the sand spit is owned by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) — not the United States Coast Guard, as had always been believed.
Gig Harbor’s iconic lighthouse is located on the sand spit and recently the city has been negotiating with the Coast Guard, through its congressional representatives, to acquire the land, Williams said.
“It’s a bit of a confusion and a re-shuffling of the deck,” he said in an interview following the meeting, “and it will take a little while longer, but we’re assured that the deal will still go through.”
Williams also noted that the video, which was shown at the meeting is a joint effort by the West Sound Alliance, will be presented to the State Legislature as part of a request for approximately $470 million in funding — spread over a 10-year period — for a variety of transportation- and infrastructure-related projects.
The Alliance includes 14 municipalities, including the cities of Gig Harbor, Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo and others, Key Peninsula Park Department and transit systems from three counties — Kitsap, Mason and Pierce (specifically Gig Harbor) — as well as the Port of Bremerton.
“There are significant benefits to Gig Harbor in this, because we’re partnered with a much larger group which gives us a much better chance to be heard.
“When we go by ourselves to ask (the state) for funding, it’s really hard to get them to pay any attention to us. But this is a unified proposal by all these different municipalities to get funding to solve some serious congestion problems that we all share,” Williams said.
He added that the video includes “solid economic data regarding the importance and the impact that good traffic corridors have on the entire area.”
As the video indicates, the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton employees people from all over the region. “The shipyard is a very big employer in the west sound,” Williams said.
In fact, as the video points out, the shipyard is the second largest employer in the entire Pacific Northwest. It employees 14,000 workers — one out of every three maritime workers in Washington State and contributes more than $6 billion a year to the regional and state economy.
The requested transportation package includes improvements to State Route 16, the so-called Belfair Bypass, the state ferry system and other West Sound traffic corridors — all of which benefit the shipyard workers and the local economy.
There are also some lesser items in the request that will benefit “some of the smaller local economies.” Williams said.
Eventually, he added, he is certain that “someday, the legislature will pass this.”
City Council meetings take place the second and fourth Mondays of each month. The agenda is posted on the city’s website on the Thursday preceding the meeting. The next meeting will take place 5:30 p.m., Dec. 8 at the Civic Center, 3510 Grandview St. | <urn:uuid:7770c4a5-4c3c-47e4-8ebb-7eef5c6d1226> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://archive.kitsapsun.com/news/local/gig-harbor/city-learns-that-blm--not-the-coast-guard--owns-the-sand-spit-ep-807871141-355093601.html | 2021-02-25T11:13:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178350942.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225095141-20210225125141-00320.warc.gz | en | 0.958268 | 812 |
- Claims of sexual abuse have been made against a late BBC children's TV presenter
- Five women say Jimmy Savile abused them when they were teenage girls
- The BBC says it is horrified by the claims of abuse, dating back to the 1960s and 1970s
- A nephew of Savile, who was knighted for his charitable work, defends his reputation
Britain's public service broadcaster, the BBC, was caught up in a growing furor Saturday over claims that a late children's TV presenter sexually abused young women and girls, sometimes on its premises, in the 1960s and 1970s.
The abuse claims, which come almost a year after presenter Jimmy Savile died, were made by five women in a documentary screened by rival broadcaster ITV Wednesday.
Those interviewed for the film, titled "Exposed -- the other side of Jimmy Saville," gave detailed accounts of sexual assault while as young as 14 or 15. One said she was raped by him at age 16.
Interviewed on a BBC program Saturday, BBC Director of Editorial Policy David Jordan gave what appeared to be the strongest confirmation yet from the broadcaster of wrongdoing on its premises.
"I think the fundamentals of the story are now well established," he said. "We now know that a number of women were appallingly sexually abused by Jimmy Savile, sometimes on BBC premises, at times during the 1960s and 1970s."
The police are now involved in the matter and the BBC says it is cooperating fully.
London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement Friday that its officers had met with representatives from the BBC and a national child protection charity.
"We are now collating information gathered from a range of sources across the UK and will continue contacting individuals who have made allegations in relation to the late Jimmy Savile over the coming weekend," it said.
"We do not expect to have a clear picture of exactly how many women may have suffered abuse until next week and want to allow time for victims to reflect on what they may have experienced."
Savile, who hosted popular children's TV programs including "Jim'll Fix It" and "Top of the Pops," was a household name in Britain for decades. He was also well known for his charitable work, having raised millions of pounds, and was awarded a knighthood. He died last October aged 84.
A BBC statement released earlier this week said it was horrified by the claims that have emerged.
"A number of serious and disturbing allegations have been made over the past few days about the sexual abuse of teenage girls by Sir Jimmy Savile," it said.
"Some of these allegations relate to activity on BBC premises in the 1960s and 70s. We are horrified by allegations that anything of this sort could have happened at the BBC -- or have been carried out by anyone working for the BBC.
"They are allegations of a serious criminal nature which the police have the proper powers to investigate."
A nephew of Savile, Roger Foster, said he had "every faith" his uncle was innocent of the claims and would have defended himself "vigorously" had the allegations been made in his lifetime.
"It seems to me a terribly one-sided program. How can anybody defend themselves if they are not here to do that?" Foster said in a recent interview with Britain's Telegraph newspaper.
"It just seems to be very, very sad that these comments have come out now. If there was any truth to them at all, why didn't they come out years ago when it actually happened?"
The controversy has prompted a wider examination of an apparent culture of sexism at the BBC in past decades that may have fed into abusive behavior.
Liz Kershaw, a DJ who started working at BBC Radio 1 in 1987, just after Savile left the station, described the environment then as "like walking into a rugby club locker room."
She told BBC Radio 4 on Saturday that his behavior was an "open secret" within the station, saying, "round Radio 1 everybody joked about Jimmy Savile and young girls."
She was also routinely groped by another radio presenter while live on air, she said -- and her complaints about this were met by ridicule.
Kershaw acknowledged that the broadcaster would treat such a complaint differently now, but said that at the time she was groped its response had been out of step with public views on acceptable behavior.
The BBC has also come under pressure to explain why its own flagship Newsnight program, which looked into a previous police investigation into abuse claims against Savile last year, decided not to run the story. That police investigation was dropped for lack of evidence. | <urn:uuid:71b65293-1fb6-4378-904a-4c92d7679af1> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/06/world/europe/uk-tv-presenter-abuse/index.html?hpt=wo_c2 | 2017-01-20T10:42:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280825.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00327-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989955 | 948 |
With AC/DC blaring over the sound system and multi-colored strobe lights bouncing around the massive exhibition center, Washington County Fair Park gave off the impression that spectators were waiting for a big rock and roll show. It was easy to pick up on the excitement in the air, even at 9 a.m. in “warm and fuzzy” West-Bend, WI. While it wasn’t a concert, customers were still eager to take a look at all of Gehl, Manitou and Mustang’s new equipment, and waited anxiously for the curtain to drop for the highly anticipated reveal.
Gehl, Manitou and Mustang are starting off 2017 with plentiful opportunities for both dealers and customers with new and modified machines added to their product line-up.
“A smart person once said, opportunity knocks on your door, what are you supposed to do? Answer the door right?” said Brian Rabe, product manager, CEP division, Manitou Americas, Inc. “Well, today what we’re going to show you is something a little different. We don’t want to wait for opportunity to show up. Let’s drive over to opportunity’s house and kick the door in.”
That can-do attitude was evident through every aspect of the product presentations as the companies presented newly designed machines with customers in mind. ALH was able to get a sneak peek on some of the newest telescopic releases.
First on the show floor was the RS5-19 GEN:3 and MTA 5519 Series II telescopic handlers, that featured replacements of a two stick system to a versatile single stick system. According to Rabe, the biggest advantage to this change is being able to shift forward, neutral and reverse while boom functioning without having to take your hands off the steering wheel.
These rental-focused telehandlers can also be used as a gateway product to get customers in a machine they can use for various jobs, and then perhaps rent bigger machines later down the line.
There will also be the addition of new DL Series Tier IV telescopic handlers which will have a range of 7,000-12,000 pounds for pick and carry, reaching heights from 40 feet, 4 inches to 55 feet, 5 inches. In addition, a tight turning radius of 12 feet, 2 inches offers maneuverability in confined spaces.
Agriculture and concrete/construction are the primary markets for the new telehandlers, allowing users to be able to lift over mixes and stack bales in an area where they might otherwise be unable to get a large unit in.
“With concrete and construction, this is a little bit smaller market globally, and in the United States especially, but it’s something that’s growing,” said Rabe. “Something to think about too, we’ve had a lot of customers over the years with skid steer loaders. As horse power has crept up on those, these machines use less horse power which means less fuel, which means as long as you have the space to put the machine out where you’re running it, then the operator can save some money by running a wheel loader versus a skid. So it’s a good compromise between products.”
The Gehl RS9-50 and the Manitou MTA-9050 were presented as true production machines. With a 50 foot boom, and a 9,000 pound capacity that can take 5,000 pounds to 50 feet high without outriggers, the machines now possess a larger working range than any other competition on the market. In addition, there’s no longer a competitor in this particular class that’s targeting the mason industry. There are 3,000 plus existing units that are going to be called for replacements within the next couple of years.
Rabe said that in making a move on a less publicized industry, mason contractors will drive a lot of sales for dealers going forward, and as of now there’s virtually zero competition in any other company.
Along with a wide range of new products, the companies will also be working toward improvements in the parts business as they implement a worldwide replenishment tool and a pricing tool. There will also be focus on refreshing documentation and making it more uniform.
Bringing another “tool to the toolbox,” Gehl, Manitou and Mustang are looking positively to the growing market and successes of 2017. | <urn:uuid:387a43cd-f5e5-478c-9f03-dd588b3bf60a> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.khl.com/news/manitou-group-debuts-new-telehandlers/124636.article | 2018-09-19T19:31:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267156270.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20180919180955-20180919200955-00507.warc.gz | en | 0.956482 | 924 |
UFO Sighting Report - Canada
March 6th 2007 : Ottawa, Ontario
Ottawa, Ontario Bright Light Stationary Then Starts To Move
Date: March 6, 2007
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Hi, I'm from Ottawa, Ontario and last night I saw a bright light in the sky and it was moving slowly across the sky when I looked with binoculars I saw a spinning red blue and green light and some other colors. Get back to me please.
Ok yesterday it was 7:30 just getting dark but not dark enough for stars I see this bright light sitting in one spot for an hour or so. Then I finally said something and we all looked. Eventually it started heading northeast at a slow rate of speed. It could have been really far away, if it was I'd say it was huge. I took out my friends binoculars and looked at it, it was hard to keep my hand still, but I clearly saw red, blue and green light in a weird pattern that changed eventually about 45 degrees from where I first saw it hovering. It disappeared behind a house. The "color red looked like dots and the blue was coming out of the direction it was going and green flashed every so often". Only when I looked through binoculars, when not looking through binoculars looked like a bright star.
I also might have seen it today roughly in the same spot, but not exact same as it was cloudy and so hard to follow.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

“Teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners, and the love of bringing the first two loves together.” Scott Hayden
As a qualified teacher and perpetual student of life, I never tire of teaching and learning! This section has some of the resources that I have found to be interesting to me and often recommend to clients. There is an eclectic mixture of podcasts, webinars, recommended sources, book suggestions on all kinds of subjects; aromatherapy, nutrition, massage, research, emotional wellbeing and more.
You may be wondering what does Akeso mean? Akeso was the Goddess of facilitating healing, but representing the process rather than the cure itself. I believe that the opportunity to heal ourselves from chronic dis-ease lies within us all – you just might need somebody to support and guide you on that journey. Our bodies are always trying to maintain homeostasis – but we put it so out of kilter that it cannot regain balance. That is why I chose this name for my therapy practice – because all of us need somebody to hold our hand as we embark on that healing journey to wellness.
As I’ve said above, the one thing that a teacher desires, is to inspire. The way back to health and wellness requires self motivation. Nobody can do it for you and the clients that I work with that are willing to take on this responsibility, are the ones that improve. This isn’t something that is “done to you” – you get well because you are really want to. But if you’ve been chronically unwell for a while and feel overwhelmed, where on earth do you start?! The one thing that has helped me on my journey back to feeling well was knowledge and information, followed up with action. I spent years researching and reading and my desire is that others can benefit from that collection of knowledge and perhaps this library will help you on your way.
Please do let me know if you have found some great sources that you’d like to share and get in touch to find out if I can help.

Select a Disputed Territory
Select a Country
In 1975, Spain relinquished administrative control of Western Sahara to a joint administration by Morocco (which had formally claimed the territory since 1957) and Mauritania. A war erupted between those countries and the Sahrawi National Liberation Movement, which proclaimed the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) with a government-in-exile in Tindouf, Algeria.
Most of the world is divided neatly into distinct nations with clearly defined borders. This map is about the locations that do not fit that model, those territories that are claimed by more than one country / occupying force. The conflicts range from major wars whose impacts are felt around world (e.g. Islamic State) to minor disagreements over remote, uninhabited rocks (e.g. Rockall Island).
The list of territories and descriptive text come primarily from the CIA World Factbook, Natural Earth, and Wikipedia. The map was made using Mapbox Studio.

The Collected Company was born out of a desire to simplify
Year after year I would spend days searching every local home design store and boutique trying to put the perfect christmas collections together for my clients. The end result was stunning christmas trees, lush mantles, subtle bookshelf displays and perfectly thought out touches throughout the home. I constantly had people asking me how I knew what to pick or what quantities were right for their own tree. The search was exhausting every year and I knew there had to be a better way! Born was the vision for The Collected Co. Polished holiday packages that seamlessly fit in with your existing decor. No guesswork, no legwork, just one package that is ready to go. Gone are the days of stuffed santas and talking reindeer, we have curated upscale holiday collections that you will be excited to bring out and show off every year. | <urn:uuid:ff0dfa29-df06-4c2c-b58b-aa29fd46e896> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://thecollectedcompany.com/pages/about | 2023-03-20T12:47:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296943483.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20230320114206-20230320144206-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.980542 | 182 |
Can someone please clearly specify the differences between SharedCoin and JoinMarket.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
How is SharedCoin centralized while JoinMarket decentralized?
Bitcoin Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for Bitcoin crypto-currency enthusiasts. It only takes a minute to sign up.Sign up to join this community
I'll do my best. SharedCoin is no longer around. It used to have a centralized server which collected inputs and outputs from users then merged them into one big coinjoin transaction. They allowed you to do multiple "rounds" where the outputs from one round would roll over into the next and be coinjoined again, and they charged a small fee. A few years ago it was demonstrated that this obfuscation could be solved using what was called "coinjoin sudoku" which allowed an observer to connect certain inputs to outputs with certainty, although the computational costs of doing so were very high. This was a significant weakness, not to mention that the SharedCoins servers knew a lot about the participants.
JoinMarket is open source software for people to make their own coinjoins. It is decentralized because it uses an IRC channel to announce orders and organize transactions amongst the participants themselves. It uses a system of makers and takers. Makers offer coins to be used in coinjoins and collect a small fee, takers specify the outgoing transaction size and pay a small fee. Unlike SharedCoin, each coinjoin transaction has a handful of identically sized outputs. If I'm a taker and I want to send 1.2345 bitcoins, my transaction will have a bunch of other outputs of exactly 1.2345 bitcoins going to the makers who participated in the transaction. As far as I know, an outside observer examining this coinjoin transaction alone would have no way of connecting the 1.2345 outputs to any of the participants or input addresses.
SharedCoin's advantages would have been simplicity and ease of use (you used to be able to do it straight out of a blockchain.info wallet), plus I believe it had many more users at its peak which increases the anonymity set. JoinMarket requires a decent bit of time and technical expertise to get set up properly, but its advantages are that it gives you stronger privacy, is decentralized, and allows you to earn a modest return on your idle coins. I'm a big fan of JoinMarket and I recommend you check it out, if you're already running a bitcoin node it's not too much more work to get JM set up. | <urn:uuid:61a30a50-1a06-4371-8e73-43d6c84bea34> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/59173/sharedcoin-vs-joinmarket-pros-and-cons-of-each/60377 | 2021-10-22T00:47:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585449.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021230549-20211022020549-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.952802 | 514 |
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Diggity Dogs Service Dogs, a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization based in Shelburne Falls, MA, provides service dogs and service dog training and support services. We develop dogs’ abilities to sense their guardian’s mental, emotional, neurological and/or physical needs and respond in ways that enable our clients to cope with and overcome challenges that they experience. We create cooperative and mutually beneficial relationships with dogs that provide invaluable assistance to disabled individuals.
We provide Psychiatric & Medical Alert Service Dogs to those in need!
Psychiatric Service Dogs assist those with "invisible disabilities" such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic depression, bi-polar disorder, anxiety disorders, social phobias, autism, developmental delays, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Service tasks taught for such conditions include: signaling for behavior, such as nudging when dissociative behavior begins; standing between the guardian and others when in public to increase personal space; ; turning on lights before entering a dark room; deep pressure therapy; entering and searching a home before the guardian enters; interrupting panic attacks in a way that 'grounds’ the guardian in the moment; waking the guardian from nightmares; waking guardian from oversleeping; reminding guardian to go to bed; locating objects (keys, phone, etc.); and interrupting repetitive or self-destructive behaviors. Specialized tasks for our Medical Altert service dogs focus on teaching dogs how to react when a medical condition occurs. Responses may include bringing a phone so that their guardian can call for help; staying by their guardian’s side; laying across their guardian’s body; barking to alert someone to the guardian’s condition; licking face of semi-conscious or unconscious guardian in order to rouse them; or finding another person to render assistance. | <urn:uuid:a0e89670-0ea5-4dca-83dd-4ebc3e7e65e8> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | https://www.volunteermatch.org/search/org882899.jsp | 2017-02-27T05:13:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501172447.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104612-00595-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.91171 | 388 |

The Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church has announced that it has permission from Umodzi Park in Lilongwe to use their Malawi Square to plant a high-tech outdoor studio which will shoot and broadcast the Miracle Night Crossover on 31st December.
In a statement released by the church’s spokesperson Ephraim Nyondo, the church says due to space limitations at Malawi Square and, also, the need for strict adherence to COVID-19 regulations, they will only permit limited members, from different parts of the world, who will be issued with tickets to be at the studio.
“ECG Church takes matters of COVID-19 seriously that is why we agreed with the position Stadium Management took leading to our choice of a manageable Malawi Square. As noted earlier, at Malawi Square only limited members will attend and there will be strict adherence to COVID-19 rules and regulations,” said Nyondo.
Nyondo has added that they expect over 1 million people to be accommodated online through Zoom conferencing technologies. Besides connecting through Zoom, the church has already made strides in ensuring that the Miracle Night Crossover is widely covered by a string of local and international television networks. | <urn:uuid:0bd700fa-75fc-4d42-bc09-5dbb2a32cdf7> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.malawimetronews.com/2020/12/19/ecg-crossover-rescheduled-to-umodzi-park/ | 2022-05-20T22:46:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662534693.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20220520223029-20220521013029-00348.warc.gz | en | 0.964347 | 255 |

New Hampshire Union Leader – 01/29/2018 Page : T05
Dylan R. Cruess • 38 • Bedford
Principal and Chief Operating Officer, TFMoran, Inc.
Why did you choose your profession?
The short answer is that engineering was my family business. I have
been involved with TFMoran in various capacities since I was 10. At
first I didn’t think I was going to join the firm; I interviewed at several
places in Boston and New York, but after weighing all the different
factors, being close to my family and the quality of life in New Hampshire
drew me back.
What motivates you to give back to your community?
I believe everyone benefits from a strong community and I find
being involved very rewarding on a personal level. I am fortunate that
my company believes in being active in the community and it encourages
everyone at the company to get involved personally as well. As
an engineering firm, we focus a lot on STEM initiatives and we support
the personal causes of our employees and clients.
What would you like to be doing when you’re 40?
Forty is only a couple of years away for me, so I would like to be
doing exactly what I am doing now. I work with amazing people and
we get to help to shape our communities through new development
Volunteer activities: Board of Directors, Manchester Chamber of
Commerce; Treasurer, Manchester Masonic Foundation.

There’s more to a student’s academic success than just being taught; the environment in which they learn in has a major impact on their progression. Classroom management also includes seating plans, as where students are seated can benefit student behaviour, academic performance and class participation. Studies have also found that students perform better in seats that are allocated to them as opposed to choosing where they sit themselves.
The importance of seating students is considered so highly that it even features as suggested evidence for classroom management for Ofsted. However, there are many other benefits of seating plans for students which we’ve outlined below.
The use of seating plans helps you, as a teacher, to exert a level of control over the class. Plans also allow you to cater for individual students’ learning needs without bringing attention to them - for example, seating plans may need to be tailored for specific pupils for medical reasons. Seating plans are a quick and easy way to improve students’ relationships with one another also, seating’s impact on behaviour can be significant. The implementation of a seating plan ensures that you can easily manage students and position them where they’ll learn best.
The ways in which you seat students is of course dependent on the class - if you have a mixed ability group this may include putting the lower achieving students with someone who is performing at a higher level in a bid to motivate the lower achiever, whilst encouraging the higher achiever to consolidate learning through explanations. Alternatively, personalities within the class could heavily influence where you place students, if pupils don’t get along with each other, or you have clusters of louder students, it’s in your best interest to keep a distance between them in order to avoid class disruptions.
Seating plans can also be used to provoke more interaction from certain students, this can include centering the position of specific students who you want to be more involved. Structuring the layout of your classroom ensures that actual desk configuration has a positive impact on the nature of student interaction. When arranging your classroom, consider what position will help you achieve the desired response from your class.
Ultimately, the use of seating plans can help you gain full control over your classroom and can orchestrate the class to learn in a way which you feel will benefit them the most. Having these in place will also mean that you can rest assured you are doing all that you can to help them to truly achieve their full potential. | <urn:uuid:f1670e0a-bf75-4958-91d0-ab07ca4dec8d> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://blog.teamsatchel.com/the-benefits-of-seating-plans-for-students | 2018-07-15T20:44:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676588972.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180715203335-20180715223308-00019.warc.gz | en | 0.967647 | 498 |

According to the new rules for our club, shotguns are only to be shot on the trap range. No longer are they to be shot on the rifle range (except to sight in slugs) nor can they be shot on the pistol range. Which brought the question ” so what if your not wanting to shoot trap?”. There is a need to pattern shotguns, and some people also have tactical shotguns. So I have put out a target that cardboard can be hung from for these situations. The target holder is located in the trap building on the far right, along with the cardboard. Just set it out on the trap range, facing more towards the old pond we are filling, hang a pi cenof cardboard from it and VIOLA! You have something to shoot at. Make sure to have your shooting in a safe direction. Be mindful of people on the rifle range as well as hikers in the woods. Please throw the shot up cardboard away and place the target holder back in the trap building when your done. Hopefully this works out well for anyone wanting to shoot shotguns at something other than trap. I’m going to try to include pictures of it in this post – but bare with me, I’m still learning how to navigate this new website. | <urn:uuid:83651dac-2831-4a62-be5f-b538794cb9fb> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://lenapetrail.net/index.php/2017/02/23/shotgun-patterning/ | 2017-11-22T14:33:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806609.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122141600-20171122161600-00233.warc.gz | en | 0.966742 | 259 |

Norwich outcome was unpredictable as they played with the champions of England and not even the most positive of their fans expected a 3-2 victory over Manchester City. Kenny McLean opened the scoring with a powerful header from a Buendia corner and ten minutes later Cantwell scored another goal.
City were still leading at half time though and just five minutes after the break, Pukki who was named as the Premier League’s player of the month for August, added a third through to restore their two-goal cushion.
Here are some of the players who impressed the fans in different ways:
Amadou gave the fans some confidence in his defense. He was always willing to put his body on the line to block a shot and was solid in the air heading away numerous times from Manchester City’s many corners and crosses.
He played a good game by keeping hold off the ball when needed and got the Canaries up the pitch efficiently. He took the corner that led to McLean’s bullet header and robbed Otamendi of the ball on the edge of the box before squaring to Pukki. The two assists brought his tally up to four for the season.
Hardly did a bad pass throughout the game. He kept Sterling quite most of the game which is no mean feat. He did let the England international free early on but Sterling could only hit the post with his header after Bernardo Silva headed the ball across goal to him from David Silva cross. Late on he started to create more as the Citizens looked for a goal and Byram was on a yellow so had to be careful, but Sterling never got a clear opportunity. | <urn:uuid:537e4a23-422d-4716-97e0-b8f72ebd1c1e> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://news.tunf.com/manchester-city-suffers-their-first-defeat-of-the-season-and-first-league-loss-since-january/501906 | 2020-05-27T22:41:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347396163.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20200527204212-20200527234212-00560.warc.gz | en | 0.987106 | 339 |

The test head is then tightened manually against a stop on the locating sleeve. This clamps the blank with a force of 10 kN as required by the cupping test standards mentioned above. The clutch pin is pulled outwards from the locating sleeve, the test head is turned clockwise and the cupping process commences. The cupping test value reached is displayed on a digital counter. The forming process and the appearance of the crack can be observed conveniently looking down onto the blank holder.

I’m up on the Felicity Jane blog today, and it’s one of my favorite days of the week at Felicity Jane! Fridays at FJ are all about our favorite supplies, and I’m over the moon with the Grace journaling cards.
I just had to add several 3×4 cards to my 3×8 pocket pages, inside my traveler’s notebook. I really love the way these little cards paired together, and I couldn’t wait to share.
Make sure to jump over to the FJ Blog for all the details on this spread! | <urn:uuid:57307241-db09-4d2e-a2f3-1b949549cdab> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://ashersmiles.com/2020/04/24/fj-friday-favorites-%E2%94%82-journaling-cards/?like_comment=795&_wpnonce=30f0d07212 | 2021-10-17T05:43:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585121.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017052025-20211017082025-00699.warc.gz | en | 0.920636 | 124 |
After 82 consecutive Trove Tuesday posts, I’ve missed one. Yes, I just couldn’t get a post prepared this week and I’m a bit sad that it has come to an end. I really was hoping to get to 100 without a break. Now that I have broken the succession, it is a good time to say that I will have a short break from Trove Tuesday.
With a lot going on in my life including a rapidly approaching due date for my thesis , I need to take a break. I will still have a March Passing of the Pioneers post (hopefully in time) and will of course post for the Anzac Day Blog Challenge, which I just can’t miss. In the meantime, if I get a chance to post I will, but I’m not making any promises.
For Trove Tuesday this week, I intended to share some feedback from my post a few Tuesdays back called “Dear Cinderella”. It is always a bit nerve-racking when I write about someone, not related to me who people may remember. I did it when I wrote about Lottie Condon, Sultan Aziz, Elsie Day and again when I wrote about the owners of Skipton, the 1941 Melbourne Cup winner. I heard from family members of each of those people, which is great and, thankfully, the responses were positive.
I was lucky enough to receive an email and a blog comment from the granddaughters of Nicholas Dix, Paula and Dallas. Nicholas was one of the many children that wrote to the Leader Newspaper’s “Dear Cinderella” column. His description of his farm life in the Western District gives those researching the area a great record of daily life during that time, but for Paula and Dallas it provides a wonderful piece of family history. His granddaughters on finding my post were “thrilled” to have this reminder of their much loved grandfather who passed away over 30 years ago.
I may have found the article, but it is the work of those at Trove Australia, bringing us the great resource of digitised newspapers, that led to Nicholas’ letter coming to light. Without the digitisation program, the letter may have remained buried in an archive, possibly to be never read again. My aim with many of my Trove Tuesday posts, is to find such lost treasures and bring them out for all to read. If you would like to read my previous 82 Trove Tuesday posts until I resume them again, follow the link – Trove Tuesday. In the meantime, I hope that other bloggers continue the Trove Tuesday tradition of sharing Trove’s treasures. | <urn:uuid:45f33847-e401-4b7f-9835-d58eff2770ea> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | https://mywdfamilies.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/oh-no-i-missed-trove-tuesday/ | 2015-05-25T01:26:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207928114.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113208-00118-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975415 | 554 |

Welcome to Lockwood Park
It is my very pleasant duty to welcome our Players, Members and Supporters, together with Match and League Officials, and not least our friends from the 15 clubs who will play here during the 2015-16 season in National League 2 North.
The Club had a great campaign last season with the First XV securing their place in National league 2 North for this season and finishing a respectable ninth position.
The Falcons and the ‘A’ team both remained undefeated throughout the league campaign, with the Falcons finishing top of their league. The Academy finished a good season by winning the Yorkshire Cup in front of their home crowd at Lockwood Park. The Club also has a strong age grade section with the Under 13’s also raising the Yorkshire Cup last season.
We continue to appreciate the involvement from all of our sponsors, advertisers, volunteers and staff. My designated charity is Kirkwood Hospice who give valuable help to cancer sufferers, although I hope none of our members ever need their fantastic services.

Old Eyes, New Eyes Wisdom
Two expressions that are often heard in these Ancient Songs are “Old Eyes and New Eyes Wisdom.” It is a way of remembering to be inclusive, not exclusive. It is a reminder that Wisdom can come in many ways . . . that all voices are equal, are relevant. It is a reminder to listen, and listen further. Such Wisdom was celebrated time and time again throughout the journey of the Walking People.
AND ALL THE PEOPLE
Brought their respect
to a Ceremony of Recognition.
that marked here was recognition
for those of continuing responsibility . . .
as it was they
who enabled and predicted the learning
of these new others.
for New Eyes Learning,
for these New Eyes
would soon grow old in wisdom,
bringing one understanding . . .
and the other . . .
together in one person.
A Tale of Old Eyes, New Eyes Wisdom:
Paula Underwood loved to tell stories at workshops and gatherings about how it happened that a whole history of a People could be passed on from one generation to another, from a dad to his young daughter. She would throw her head back with a hearty laugh as she recalled him saying, “well, honeygirl, looks like it’s just me and you.” She described how he created a space for learning to occur. Her dad would find creative ways to invite a child to sit patiently, at times for hours, as he shared his responsibility for the Old Things. It was always an invitation to learn, never a mandate. He understood that for true learning to occur, it had to come from the inside out, not the outside in.
Paula would say that it was never an accident where she and her father were standing when he was preparing to share the wisdom of his tradition. Once while walking hand in hand along a street, he purposefully stopped behind a large delivery truck laden with goods. He knew the driver would soon begin the process of unloading his produce. So he stood quietly, looking at all these wonderful things piled high before him, understanding that his daughter couldn’t see it from her vantage point. He had her attention. As she stood patiently at his side, she heard her father say, “sure wish I could see what was on the other side of the truck.” Standing so close, he could see little more than the produce that soon would be displayed in the local market. “What do you see, daddy?” she asked, still trying to be very patient. Her dad methodically described to her the variety of things that he could see on the truck, things piled too high for her young eyes, eyes too close to the ground. But still, he couldn’t see what was beyond the truck. “Sure wish I knew what was on the other side of this delivery truck,” he continued. “Sounds like lots of activity going on over there.”
It was then, that his young daughter realized that she could see under the truck. She, with her lower eyes, could see clearly what lay beyond. With great excitement she relayed to him all the wonderful things she saw just beyond the truck with her New Eyes. There were friends and family acquaintances involved in a variety of activities. With great excitement she described the world she was experiencing. Her father was pleased with all he heard from one so young as she began to realize that together they could see the larger picture.
She knew her dad had shared great wisdom that afternoon . . . he told her later that this learning was the basis for the equal rights of Children under the Great Law of Peace, where every voice was heard, however young, however old . . . for all perspectives were valued and considered. | <urn:uuid:2a22070c-6d95-40a6-a32b-298eea644426> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.learningpeople.org/value_eyes.html | 2016-09-25T07:04:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738660158.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173740-00127-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987087 | 777 |

I've spent the last few months taking a break from sports to recover from numerous injuries that didn't seem to be healing. I took that opportunity to concentrate on the creative side in my life which I have not done in a very long time. This was something that I neglected to do for my myself which is what I was desperately craving. I needed those quiet moments of sketching, doing nature photography and writing. I'm a creative person, I always have been. Sports provided a much needed outlet for my excessive energy. By taking a break from sports, namely fencing, I had to do some soul searching. I had to tune into my body and figure out what I needed to do next.
Fate always has a reason even if it doesn't make any sense at the time. It's usually not until many months or years later, when we realize that it was a necessary growth in our life. That's where I am right now. Putting my life on pause in more ways than one, has shown me how to open my eyes to the beauty around me. It forced me to see things in a new light. My photography is soaring to new heights. My creative work in book cover design is flourishing once again which I love doing. I've gone back to writing and currently working on the last chapter of my forth novel. I was very surprised when I got the inspiration to write another book in the series since it was originally a trilogy series. Soon after I stopped fencing, my creative world suddenly exploded with new possibilities. This was a big surprise and in retrospect, something I needed to for myself.
By removing myself from one aspect of my life, that opportunity turned into a wonderful time full of love, family and creativity. I had missed all of that. Being able to spend time with my family and my cousins has shown me how precious we are all and the importance of being able to connect with each other. Hitting that pause button, even when it was very difficult to do so, showed me how to shift my focus and simply be more patient.
Now that time has slowed down for me, I'm learning how to appreciate the little things in life. Having my cat Bella sleep beside me while I write means the world to me. It's that wonderful quiet moment that rings true with my heart. Going outside to take pictures of snowflakes sitting on dried flowers is a remarkably calming experience. I love the soft mood winter brings. Everyday I try to find inspiration, something that lifts my spirit.
I recently came across an artist named Pascal Campion who is remarkably talented at creating incredibly moody artwork. I love his ability to bring forth the warmth and love in those small human moments. His use of simplicity is truly wonderful, it brings forward a sense of peace and solitude. I especially adore the cats that he often includes in the images. You can find him on many social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pascalcampionart/), Devianart, and Twitter: @pascalcampion
You can purchase some of his artwork at: http://www.pascalcampion.com/shop and he even has a compilation of his Daily Sketches that also feature tutorials and his experiences working in the animation industry.
His work is truly amazing and full of light and love.

A leading contender in a Houston state House special election told The Texas Tribune this week she and her husband recently paid the federal government more than $25,000 in delinquent taxes.
Michele Leal, one of a dozen Democrats in the Nov. 5 special election and the top fundraiser, and her husband had been slapped with a lien from the Internal Revenue Service alleging she owed the government $26,853.25 for unpaid taxes, according to documents from the Harris County Clerk’s Office.
Leal, a consultant with a firm that focuses on providing LGBTQ diversity and inclusion training, said in an interview Wednesday afternoon she has since paid her taxes after being alerted of the lien by a letter last week. She said the bill came because “of the firm and type of law practice” her husband has, which causes their annual income to fluctuate. It also causes the amount of taxes they owe to the federal government to change on a case-by-case basis.
“There are years where we withhold enough and we don’t owe, and there are years where we sometimes owe a substantial amount of money,” she said.
In the case of the most recent bill, she said she and her husband had a payment agreement in place and made an adjustment to that agreement. Due to what she describes as an IRS oversight, the agreement was terminated without her or her husband’s knowledge.
They were made aware of the lien last week, she said, and “immediately took steps to remedy it.”
“It is now completely resolved and paid in full,” she said, noting that this is the first time she’s received a tax lien. “This happened do to a communication error. This is an extenuating circumstance due to us not receiving the mail.”
Although Leal emailed the Tribune copies of her receipt of payment, she was not immediately able to produce the release of lien — which proves she reimbursed the government. That document will take roughly 30 days to come through, she said.
Leal is running to replace state Rep. Jessica Farrar, a Democrat who served for over two decades and retired from the lower chamber at the end of September. A special election to fill the seat, which is in a district that has been historically safe for Democrats, will take place Nov. 5. Fifteen candidates — 12 Democrats, two Republicans and an independent — are vying for the seat. According to the latest campaign finance reports, Leal was the No. 1 fundraiser, earning $109,000 while keeping spending low — only $9,000. She has $62,000 in reserves. The No. 2 fundraiser was Anna Eastman, who raised less than half of Leal’s six-figure haul.
Leal wouldn't be the only House member to have been hit with a lien. Last year, the IRS filed a lien against State Rep. Roland Gutierrez, D-San Antonio, and his wife for $60,284. The IRS later acknowledged the lien was filed in error, however.
“Everyone should be responsible for paying their taxes, which is why as soon as we became aware of the situation, we immediately took steps to remedy it and made payment,” Leal said.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to note that the IRS acknowledged the lien it filed against Gutierrez was filed in error. | <urn:uuid:59e1dc76-ec28-4bfa-87dd-f56cb6b9ca3c> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.texastribune.org/2019/10/17/texas-house-contender-michele-leal-had-irs-lien/ | 2020-06-05T15:49:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590348502097.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200605143036-20200605173036-00503.warc.gz | en | 0.981781 | 715 |

Wound licking is a practice that is engaged in by most mammals, including primates, which involves the repeated licking of an injury or wound. This can can have both positive and negative consequences. Many pet owners are familiar with wound licking since it can become a serious problem for an injured pet. Usually it must be controlled to minimize damage due to excessive licking by cats, dogs and other animals.
On the positive side, saliva has been found to contain certain components that actively fight infection. Nitrites that break down into nitric oxide are a big part of the antibacterial effect, and there are other bacteria fighters in saliva as well. Although humans do not typically engage in wound licking, some people feel that these properties help to demonstrate the value of the process. In the future the antibacterial benefits of saliva may prove to be beneficial in preventing the development of infection, especially in difficult cases.
On the other hand, there are also many reasons that wound licking is not beneficial to humans or animals. Dogs, cats and other animals may engage in licking their wounds not only as a way to clean them, but also to soothe an injured area. Despite the fact that saliva contains antibacterial elements, it is also home to many different kinds of bacteria. Many experts feel that the harmful effects of the bacteria tend to outweigh any possible benefits, making wound licking an undesirable practice.
When a pet is injured it will normally engage in wound licking immediately. For an animal in the wild, this is usually the only way it has to deal with an injury. Domesticated animals, however, benefit from their association with humans and are treated for injuries that might be fatal if not for human intervention. Since an animal may lick a wound excessively due to anxiety or in an effort to relieve its pain, not only are the bacteria in saliva of concern, but damage caused by too much wound licking becomes a concern as well.
There are several different ways to prevent an animal from engaging in wound licking. The method chosen depends on the preference of the owner, the location of the injury and how the animal responds to treatment. The least restrictive way to prevent licking and chewing is to coat an injury with a bitter-flavored cream or spray. If this doesn’t stop the problem, it may be possible to cover the wound with bandages to prevent access. As a last resort, if nothing else keeps an animal from bothering an injury it can wear a muzzle or a special collar, called an Elizabethan collar, that creates a barrier and prevents the animal from reaching the injured area.

MEIRINGEN, SWITZERLAND — It takes less than Sherlockian deduction to determine why Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose the Reichenbach Falls above this Swiss village as a ``worthy tomb`` for his legendary detective, for it is indeed, as Sir Arthur writes in ``The Final Problem`` a ``fearful place.``
Its ``torrent, swollen by the melting snow`` in the Rosenlaui Valley plunges into a ``tremendous abyss . . . of incalculable depth.``
The winding path up to and around the edge of the waterfall is indeed treacherous, providing little leeway for Holmes and his arch-enemy, Professor Moriarty, to fight their final fight without toppling into the raging froth.
Such a tomb, then, was the perfect way for Conan Doyle to end the career of the ``foremost champion of the law`` in a titantic struggle of good and evil with Moriarty, the ``Napoleon of crime,`` on May 4, 1891--even if, as the author declared, ``I bury my banking account along with him.``
Bank accounts and Moriarty notwithstanding, public outcry eventually forced Sir Arthur to revive Sherlock Holmes in ``The Return.``
And it is with a light heart, and a heavy dose of nostalgia--and perhaps with an eye on their own bank accounts as well--that the entrepreneurs of Meiringen and other Sherlock Holmes sites try to further pump up the legend of the great detective this year, the 100th anniversary of his first case, ``A Study in Scarlet.``
Not that the Sherlock Holmes legend ever really died. In May, the Sherlock Holmes Society of London is making its third pilgrimage to Meiringen since 1968.
Wearing Victorian costumes, 70 society members will come to this Swiss village by way of a nostalgic journey through the Swiss cities and villages of Geneva, Lausanne, Leukerbad and Kandersteg, roughly the route taken by Holmes and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson during their fateful literary journey in ``The Final Problem.``
On the way, they will stop for a tour of the mecca of Sherlockian memorabilia, the Chateau de Lucens near Lausanne, where Adrian Conan Doyle, Sir Arthur`s son, rendered Holmes` consulting room at 221B Baker Street, complete with the writing desk of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a set of disguises supposedly worn by the great detective, faded editions of the Illustrated Police Gazette, and a Victorian corkscrew brush for opening up dusty bottles of wine and ``brushing away the occasional insect.``
Though Adrian Doyle died in 1970, the chateau museum remains a memento to his father`s writing.
Pistols, daggers, harpoons, canes, all are carefully labeled and described as if they figured in real crimes instead of fantasies.
In the Baker Street study, the ubiquitous deerstalker cap hangs on a hook, and two tea cups rest on stools beside the hearth. The sharp-eyed reader of Sherlock Holmes will see hanging on the wall an Alpine hiking pick of the type used by Holmes in his walk to the Reichenbach Falls. It`s as if Holmes and Watson have just left for the torrent of Meiringen.
``We reached the little village of Meiringen, where we put up at the
`Englischer Hof` then kept by Peter Steiler the elder,`` Watson wrote in
``The Final Problem.``
``Our landlord was an intelligent man and spoke excellent English, having served for three years as a waiter at the Grosvenor Hotel in London.``
Hans Theoni, the proprietor of the Sporthotel, speaks excellent English as well. But Theoni, who is a native of this village of 4,000 about 30 miles east of Interlaken and 40 miles south of Lucerne, says the Englischer Hof
``The Final Problem,`` he explains, was written at a time when English tourists like Arthur Conan Doyle crossing the Alps via the Grimsel and Susten passes found nearly every building in Meiringen was a hotel.
Theoni, meanwhile, certainly has done his bit to keep the Holmes legend alive.
``Everybody knows about Sherlock Holmes, and that `The Final Problem` was here in Meiringen,`` said Theoni, who sells Sherlock Holmes T-shirts and caps and has built a Sherlock Holmes pub, complete with Baker Street sign and 221 number. ``But we need to push it further, so that whenever you think about Sherlock Holmes, you think about Meiringen, too.``
In order to try to insure that, Meiringen is playing enthusiastic host to the pilgrimage of the Sherlock Holmes Society from Thursday to May 9, and setting up its own Sherlock Holmes museum in an abandoned English church to rival the study at the Chateau de Lucens.
The Meiringen Youth Brass Band is to play the funeral music after the society re-enacts the Holmes-Moriarty fight at the Reichenbach Falls May 8, and Jean Conan Doyle, daughter of Sir Arthur, is to officiate at the laying of a foundation stone for the new museum for ``one of the most revered names in England.``
It is as if the terrible fatal fall never happened. Indeed, in ``The Adventure of the Empty House`` Conan Doyle explains perfectly why here and elsewhere, Sherlock Holmes is alive and well.
``Holmes!,`` Dr. Watson cries on seeing his friend return. ``Is it really you? Can it indeed be that you are alive? Is it possible that you succeeded in climbing out of that awful abyss?``
Says Holmes: ``Well, then, about that chasm. I had no serious difficulty in getting out of it, for the very simple reason that I never was in it.`` | <urn:uuid:43f46dbd-b792-427c-a37d-b4a701c9a0fa> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1987-04-29/news/8702010905_1_sherlock-holmes-society-reichenbach-falls-great-detective | 2017-06-27T08:13:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321025.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627064714-20170627084714-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.940481 | 1,214 |

ROME — Even though today’s modern tools and technologies are hardly human, the Pontifical Academy for Life is zeroing in on the world of robots and machines powered by artificial intelligence.
While the academy’s focus is on the protection of human life and dignity, the rapidly shifting and radical capabilities of robotics are having an ever-increasing impact on human lives, people’s relationships, communities and creation, said Jesuit Father Carlo Casalone, an academy member and consultant.
The need to reflect on the effects, opportunities and risks posed by artificial intelligence and robotics has led the pro-life academy to launch a special look at this complex field, adding robotics to its list of specialized projects, which already include palliative care, neuroscience, bioethics and human genome editing.
A major workshop on “Robo-ethics: Humans, Machines and Health” will be held at the Vatican Feb. 25-26 as part of this increased study; the workshop will focus on the use of robots and artificial intelligence, specifically in medicine and health care.
The use of industrial and personal-service robots is on the rise, according to industry reports. They are being used in manufacturing, housekeeping, assisting with surgery and even caring for the elderly. People with reduced mobility can be assisted with brain control technology, which converts brain waves into digital signals that can command or control external devices, such as artificial limbs or machines.
Casalone, who studied medicine and worked as a cardiologist before joining the Society of Jesus in 1984, helped organize the workshop. He became a member of the pontifical academy in 2017 and works in its scientific section.
He told Catholic News Service in December that the workshop will bring together ethicists, health care workers and researchers, including Hiroshi Ishiguro, a Japanese robotics engineer who creates humanoid robots and promotes discussion about the essence of being human. His lab has developed the interactive “Actroid,” a lifelike humanoid robot that can operate autonomously or be teleoperated and created an uncanny replica of Ishiguro known as the “Geminoid.”
Casalone said the academy wanted the workshop to include experts like Ishiguro who could explain “what sort of vision” guides their work and so that members could “truly listen to what is going on in today’s world and to engage with this historic moment in time.”
“We are seeking to be fully aware of what’s happening so that we know what is possible” in the rapidly advancing world of “cognitive machines” and to highlight the ethical, social, cultural and economic impact these tools may have.
For example, cheaper automated machine labor may threaten emerging economies, and mineral-rich African nations often see their resources extracted and exported without receiving the benefits in what has become a new “robot divide,” Casalone said.
Using robots for military applications can be “very dangerous and very deceptive” if nations use such machines to cover up their responsibility and destroy others “behind the scenes,” he said. Automated systems also can lead to “a sort of gaming mentality” when soldiers can control weaponry remotely, far away from its effects.
Home automation or “domotics” — such as security systems or robot vacuum cleaners — also presents certain risks, he said, if “houses begin to be built in a way that makes them more robot-friendly, more suitable for machines than for humans.”
And the use of robots in assisting the elderly or infirm, while it “could be of great help,” could also “risk triggering an attitude of delegating” the care of the most fragile and vulnerable in society “as if it were a task to be entrusted to machines” and not to fellow human beings, he said.
Similar problems may “also apply to the natural world,” he said, for example, when using robots for farming and livestock “changes our relationship with animals” and nature.
Casalone said the answer isn’t a stance against technology but “guiding development so that it respects human dignity and the common good as much as possible.”
“It is about becoming aware of and agreeing about regulating these radically new possibilities we have before us, which are able to increasingly and more deeply affect living beings and the human body,” he said.
The two-day workshop in February will not be proposing specific guidelines, he said, but rather will lay the groundwork for drawing up “some criteria, given what is at play with the emergence of these cognitive systems in our lives.”
The radical and pervasive impact today’s new technologies will have on human beings and their relations “demands greater oversight,” public discussion and concern not just among experts or special interest groups, but by everyone, he said.
Throughout history, science and technology have invented or developed new capabilities that have taken the world by surprise and “transformed our lives,” Casalone said. “So, we have to expect something new” will always be around the corner and be ready to respond.
Current controls on “the atomic bomb and its destructive potential,” he said, show how human beings are capable of not using every new technology, “which means there are options for guiding development” so that it can better respect human life.
“This, in every case, is what we are committed to,” he said. | <urn:uuid:b4875bf1-ab47-4929-b0c2-2388963df6c6> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2019/01/robots-and-ai-papal-academy-decodes-newest-pro-life-challenges/ | 2019-11-20T17:07:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670597.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20191120162215-20191120190215-00290.warc.gz | en | 0.957261 | 1,154 |

Is the "Internet SAFETY Act" (otherwise known as S.436 and HR.1076 reallyabout stopping online child abuse? Or is it a way to give copyright holders what they have long been crying for: a legal requirement that ISPs retain user data forever?
[The RIAA and MPAA] wrote in a 2005 letter to a committee of the European Parliament that "it is essential that service providers retain the relevant data for a reasonable period and that the data can be disclosed for appropriate purposes."
The law, if passed as proposed, would require not only ISPs but all Wi-Fi access points (that means you) to keep records for two years. This is because the "limitless nature offers anonymity that has opened the door to criminals looking to harm innocent children," said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). And the penalty is nothing to sneeze at:
Whoever, being an Internet content hosting provider or e-mail service provider, knowingly engages in any conduct the provider knows or has reason to believe facilitates access to, or the possession of, child pornography...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.
We already know the risk to kids is vastly overstated by forces that want to control the Net. But even though some kids are at risk, does that necessitate the dismantling of a core feature of the Internet?
Marc Rotenberg, director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C., said the Internet Safety Act would "create new risk" for Internet users and expose them to "possible liability in civil suits and supboena fishing expeditions--it's a terrible idea."
And what's this about hotspots?
Paul Levy, an attorney at the Ralph Nader-founded Public Citizen group who has litigated Internet anonymity cases, says: "I have a Wi-Fi network at home, and I would have no idea how to retain IP information. This has a chilling effect on speaking, the fact that your information remains around for such a long time," Levy said. | <urn:uuid:3fa97ca1-af5a-44a7-b878-2644244c028e> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://www.zdnet.com/article/senators-cry-child-abuse-as-they-seek-to-dismantle-the-net/ | 2019-01-19T13:01:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583667907.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20190119115530-20190119141530-00607.warc.gz | en | 0.950045 | 425 |

New York is getting closer to legal marijuana.
Those were the first eight words of a recent New York Times story following the announcement by New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker that he would soon issue a recommendation that the drug be legalized for recreational use in the state.
That announcement, which followed a study commissioned by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has caught the attention of stakeholders across the North Fork, from local government officials to agricultural leaders and administrators at Suffolk County’s only current medical marijuana dispensary.
Any change in regulations is particularly significant for this region, where large tracts of land are already dedicated to agriculture and extensive greenhouse infrastructure is already in place. Existing farmland could also become even more valuable with the legalization of marijuana.
Months before Mr. Zucker’s announcement, Long Island Wine Country pioneer Louisa Hargrave, who now works in real estate, speculated at a meeting of Southold Town’s alcohol farm products working group that venture capitalists are already buying land here with an eye toward growing marijuana once it’s legalized. Ms. Hargrave, co-founder of Hargrave Vineyard, which planted the region’s first grapes in the early 1970s, urged town and agricultural industry leaders to pay attention in case legalization were ever to occur.
In a recent interview, Ms. Hargrave suggested that legalization could allow area farms to diversify their businesses beyond existing crops.
“Today’s farming is changing,” she said. “We need to have the flexibility.”
Long Island Farm Bureau administrative director Rob Carpenter said his organization, which advocates on behalf of the more than 500 farms in the region, has not taken an official position on legalizing marijuana. That is, however, something he expects farmers to discuss in the months ahead through the LIFB’s policy development process.
He said the farm bureau does consider the cultivation of marijuana — for either recreational or medical use — an agricultural practice.
“The farm bureau believes, based on our policy, that growers believe that this should be an agricultural commodity, not anything else,” Mr. Carpenter said. “That way, it would give agriculture, and hopefully the Department of Agriculture for New York, purview over this crop and industry from a growing aspect.”
He noted that it’s likely premature to assume recreational legalization will pass any time soon. If and when it does, he added, it’s also likely to be heavily regulated.
Just how regulation might affect the growing of marijuana remains unclear: Would it even be allowed in open fields or in greenhouses located along heavily trafficked roads?
Current reports certainly suggest that recreational marijuana will eventually be big business in New York State. A Forbes analysis recently reported revenue from medical marijuana sales in New York State at more than $40 million. Another recent report, from New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, estimated the market for recreational marijuana statewide at more than $3 billion, which would mean hundreds of millions of dollars in new tax revenue.
Ivy Acres Inc., a greenhouse company in Baiting Hollow, was behind an organization that sought approval in 2015 to grow marijuana for medical use. It was a long and costly application process, which they said at the time set them back close to a half-million dollars. Their bid failed to gain support from the Riverhead Town Board — an important factor in the process — and was ultimately rejected by the state.
But owners Jack and Kurt Van de Wetering, who shopped the plan to stakeholders across Riverhead Town, said at the time it was worth the risk, as their research projected more than $400 million in annual revenues from one medical marijuana growing operation alone.
Riverhead did, however, become home to the county’s first medical marijuana dispensary, which is still operated on West Main Street by Columbia Care. That group’s CEO, Nicholas Vita, said he thinks regulations on recreational marijuana in New York State need to be rooted in data and evidence, with a strong focus on health policy, specifically. Whoever will enforce regulations, he said, needs to be at the table while policy is being developed.
When asked if farmers are key stakeholders, Mr. Vita said yes, because marijuana is an agricultural product.
“There’s no better group I can think of that can talk about the importance of nutrient lines and pesticides and productivity than farmers,” he said.
However, Mr. Vita said he thinks the state Department of Health should regulate marijuana for recreational use.
“If this is a product that’s going to be used in a body or on a body, it obviously has to be manufactured and developed in a very particular set of ways to ensure safety and quality,” he said.
Riverhead Town Supervisor Laura Jens-Smith, who was not part of the board that declined to support the Van de Wetering application, said what happens in terms of legalization and regulation is still “a wait-and-see” but added that the positive impact it could have on Long Island agriculture is appealing to her.
“[I’m for] anything to sustain the farms here and make it economically viable, because it’s so difficult, especially with the high price of land out here,” she said.
Southold Supervisor Scott Russell recalls being approached by another company looking to produce marijuana in his town a few years back, as part of a proposal to the state.
“They wanted to get a sense of what the community reaction would be,” he said. “I told them that I won’t speculate, however, I am sure real concerns would be raised about issues such as security, local impacts, etc. I told them that it would be their responsibility to gauge public interest by including the public in the discussion.”
Mr. Russell said he did not take the proposal seriously because the man had not done his homework on the community. Mr. Russell said it’s safe to assume there will be interest in growing marijuana in Southold should the state approve it for recreational use.
“We also have to assume that it will be a heavily regulated industry,” he said. | <urn:uuid:69a77c35-312a-4f04-b48d-88faf190f487> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com/2018/07/88286/marijuana-north-forks-next-big-crop/ | 2021-04-18T05:32:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038468066.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20210418043500-20210418073500-00269.warc.gz | en | 0.968509 | 1,283 |

This book starts with the treatment of high dimensional geometry. Modern data in diverse fields such as Information Processing, Search, Machine Learning, etc., is often represented advantageously as vectors with a large number of components. This is so even in cases when the vector representation is not the natural first choice. | <urn:uuid:562bdbd1-72dd-4d44-82cb-1355bbe8f054> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://www.eduinformer.com/foundations-of-data-science/ | 2019-03-23T05:03:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202723.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190323040640-20190323062640-00172.warc.gz | en | 0.946861 | 124 |
Teeth genetics are weird. There is so much variation in size, shape, and color teeth. There is also a lot of variation when it comes to timing of when baby teeth are lost. We are all so different from one another, with a few exceptions: our teeth are very much like those of our parents and siblings.
Teeth abnormalities are pretty common in the general public, and many people are affected by them. For example, approximately 30% of people are missing at least one tooth. This is most commonly a wisdom tooth. Also, approximately 2-3% of the population has an impacted canine, where the canine is stuck in the bone and does not want to come in. It is more common on the left side than the right side (how weird!) and it is more common in girls than boys (sorry ladies!).
As a parent, it is important to keep this in mind. Are you missing an adult tooth, or was your brother or sister missing a tooth? Do you still have a baby tooth in your mouth? Do you remember having braces to fix an impacted canine? Your kids will be more at risk for similar problems. Impacted canine teeth can damage other adult teeth, and missing teeth can be a dental problem in the future if not addressed early.
So what do you do? It's simple - get a screening early. I recommend having an orthodontic screening at age 8 to evaluate for these conditions early. We take a panoramic x-ray that looks at all of the developing teeth so that we can see if any of these problems may occur. Most orthodontists do not charge for this screening, and it basically informational to help you understand your child's current or future needs.
Is it OK to have a screening even if you didn't have these problems? Yes - definitely! You may not know that grandma or great-uncle was missing 4 adult teeth. Additionally, we are screening for more than just missing teeth. We look for crowding issues, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, cross bites, and much more.
At the end of the day, please do not lose sleep over any of these issues. Genetics is out of your control, but we are here to help however we can. We can correct impacted teeth, missing teeth, and bite issues in many different ways with braces and Invisalign®. Feel free to reach out with any question : )

1. Marc Anthony Live at Madison Square Garden This is by far the best produced concert footage I have ever seen. It was an HBO special from a couple of years ago and the quality was so good that I ripped the audio and put it on my iPod. Special guest Tito Puente joins in on No Hay Nadie Como Ella and his performance of "Preciosa" will give you chills. Marc brought his A game for a full hour and a half. 2. Celia Cruz: Azucar It was a toss up between Marc Live and this Celia Tribute because it was equally well done. Just prior to her death, the latin music community came together and did this amazing All-Star tribute to the queen of Salsa. I mean every one that is someone came together for this Univision special to perform Celia covers, Marc, Gloria Estefan, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Victor Manuelle,etc. You name em, they were performing. I couldn't help but get welled up toward the end as she, in her failing health did her best to bring it one more time. It was one of the most moving performances I have ever seen. This is a must have DVD. 3. Celia Cruz and Friends This was a PBS special done in '99. She performs all of her hits w/ Special guests Tito Puente, Johnny Pacheco and La India. Very well done. 4. Salsa: The flim If you want a good historical perspective of Salsa, this is a must have. Geraldo Rivera narrates this 1976 documentary. The quality is very poor but you do get some good footage of some of the greatest Salsa legends, Larry Harlow, Ray Barreto, Hector LaVoe, Ricardo Rey and all of the rest of the Fania All Stars. 5. Celia and Fania All-Stars in Africa I am reluctant to put this one on my list just because the quality is so poor, even worse than "Salsa, the film" but nonetheless the music was good and it has great historical value. So if you are willing to tolerate the low budget very early Seventies' edits, go for it. All of these DVDs can be found at Netflix. If you sign up, I think the first month is free. It is tough to find good live and contemporary Salsa DVDs, so if anyone knows of some other, more recent DVDs out there, please let me know so I can add it to my collection. Contact me at email@example.com
. It would be greatly appreciated. I know there is some pretty good stuff out there on VHS but I am trying to stay with DVD. | <urn:uuid:a60d3efa-49b3-4a02-b0f3-cd949117365a> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://addicted2salsa.herokuapp.com/dance/kanemasters-top-salsa-dvds | 2017-10-23T22:29:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826840.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023221059-20171024001059-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.967295 | 554 |

Hope they release it in 2 versions one with the infamous snapdragon 805 SoC and another with the mighty&mysterious tegra K1 SoC.love to see the competition between nividia and snapdragon in 2014.
Looks like they finally gonna release a drool worthy tegra,not that previous tegra 4 is a slouch,it just gets the wow factor(specs) right but rest bit misplaced(low ads,availability,late appearance).
Snapdragon 805 sounds awesome,hope nividia uses its ace to get fast in race or sammy and other OEMs might shift to 805.
Oh well its all about G3 now. forget G2 owners, uk has not even got Kitkat yet. Wish i stuck with my S4 some days.
i wonder what kind of creature has an eye that would feel the difference !!

When I first started, I was working out of order...the last four or five pages are almost completely finished already!Sorry about the verification thing...when I first started the blog I didn't have it turned on, and I suddenly started getting like 30 spam comments a day!
Please say that you are going to release this colored...(then again, I like the b&w look...)

Former Prime Minister John Howard has chosen to launch a scathing attack on Australia’s national history curriculum, labeling it “unbalanced” and “bizarre”, during a public lecture at the University of WA tonight.
The new curriculum to be implemented in most States by 2013 also ignores the importance of British influences, Mr Howard has told about 800 people who were expected to attend the inaugural Sir Paul Hasluck Foundation lecture to mark the legacy of the former WA politician and governor-general.
“Choices have to be made in any curriculum and of course it’s impossible to satisfy everybody, but my fear is that if this curriculum remains unamended young Australians of the future will be denied a proper knowledge of our nation’s history,” he said.
Mr Howard said it was good the subject would become compulsory to Year 10 and that it would place more emphasis on indigenous and Asian history.
“Beyond those praiseworthy features there is much about the curriculum that I find unbalanced, lacking in priorities and in some cases quite bizarre,” he said.
Mr Howard said the conspicuous absence of Australia’s western heritage from the curriculum reflected a growing retreat from self-belief in western civilisation.
“It is as if the West must always play the villain simply because it has tended to enjoy more power and economic success than other parts of the world since 1500,” he said.
“In the process it further marginalises the historic influence of the Judaeo Christian ethic in shaping Australian society and virtually purges British history from any meaningful role.”
“Magna Carta, parliamentary democracy, the language we speak – which need I remind you is now the lingua franca of Asia – much of the literature we imbibe, a free and irreverent media, our relatively civil system of political discourse, the rule of law and trial by jury.”
“Indeed, some of the sports we play, these are all owed in one form or another to the British.”
Mr Howard said it was “bizarre” that study of popular culture such as ACDC and Kylie Minogue was considered more important to a Year 10 student’s understanding of the globalising world since 1945 than economic influences.
The curriculum also failed to provide balance to the “progressive left view” it reflected because it did not mention liberalism.
And there was no compulsory requirement to learn about Federation of the colonies in 1901, which Mr Howard believed was the most important event in Australia’s national history.”

After the first string search for a compound name you will get a list of names which correspond to that string. The search is done in all synonym names, but only the list of compound names (our definition of the correct, or main, name) is shown. Sometimes this list is quite long, so the possiblity is added to enter an additional search string. This argument searches within the displayed results, again both in the compound names as well as in the synonyms thereof. This process can be repeated endlessly.
It is also possible to enter an exclude string: the result is a list of compound names where this exclusion string does not appear in the name. Not in the compound name, and also not in any of the synonyms belonging to that compound.
An example of usage is the search for names with 'ethyl'. Enter the 'ethyl' string first, then enter 'methyl' as the exclude string to remove any *methyl* names.
The search within results option is also available for the search in literature references.
Additional search possiblities
When searching for 'alpha', 'beta', etc within names you may use the replacing strings 'alpha-', 'beta-', 'gamma-', 'delta-', 'epsilon-' or 'psi-'. Allways include the minus sign in your search string. | <urn:uuid:97282d15-435e-40c9-b327-338691511bae> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.vcf-online.nl/VcfGuide.cfm?title=Search%20within | 2019-09-16T10:35:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514572517.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20190916100041-20190916122041-00242.warc.gz | en | 0.901894 | 275 |

Elise Amendola/Associated Press
LONDON — At least I didn’t have to whack anybody.
When I told a cousin that I was taking my daughter to look at U.S. colleges this spring she sent me a DVD of “The Sopranos” episode in which Tony, embarking on a similar tour, encounters a former associate and strangles him with a length of wire while his daughter is visiting Colby. Although Maine is home to several superb schools, it seemed safer to skip the whole state.
I was grateful for anything that helped narrow down the list. You might think I’d have a better handle on this process than most parents. I write about higher education for a living and graduated from both British and American universities. But I’m just as confused as any dad, even though I went through a version of this five years ago with my son. He wanted to remain in Britain and knew what he wanted to study, which renders the British system, with its successive filtering from 10 or 11 GCSEs (nationwide subject exams taken at 16) down to 4 A-levels (taken at 17 and 18) to finally applying to “read” (study) a single subject at university, uniquely attractive. For my daughter, the choice of subjects in a liberal arts education was reason enough to make American colleges worth a serious look.
The line at the Fulbright Commission’s American college fair last fall stretched around the block. Though all the schools there seemed eager for foreign students, some seemed to have little idea how to make sense of British grades, the different school calendar and a very different culture, where the relentless pursuit of exam results tends to reduce extracurricular activities to an afterthought.
I was hit by the explosion of anxiety familiar to any parent faced with the college maze. There was also a financial question: Is the probable higher cost of an American education worth it? Undergraduate courses at British universities typically take just three years, and the 9,000 pounds, or $12,000, annual tuition is covered by a government loan that wouldn’t have to be repaid until my daughter starts earning a decent salary.
As we lugged home a shopping bag filled with brochures, we realized some serious reconnaissance was in order, along with some guidelines. We agreed to stay east of the Mississippi and ruled out any place that wasn’t co-ed. We’d visit colleges scattered between Chicago and New England.
Here I offer some advice from our U.S. road trip: You can just about manage two schools a day if (a) you pick two that are no more than an hour apart, (b) you don’t get lost on the way (c) you don’t mind eating lunch in the car and (d) your child doesn’t fall in love with your first stop of the day.
But we didn’t really have enough time. Unlike the SAT, which can be taken many times, British A-level exams, whose first part, known as AS-levels, are given just once for the whole country. So the pressure to do well is intense — doubly so for students who are considering applying to selective American colleges, which expect high scores on the SATs as well. Since my daughter hasn’t ruled out staying in Britain she had too much work to allow for a leisurely amble through the groves of academe.
Here, perhaps I can eliminate a myth. Ever since Laura Spence made headlines in England when she got into Harvard in 2000 despite being rejected by Oxford, some British parents have gazed wistfully across the Atlantic. But the truth is that Oxford and Cambridge both accept a much higher percentage of their applicants than comparable schools in the United States. There are plenty of good arguments for American colleges, but being easier to get into isn’t one of them.
All of the 10 schools we saw were impressive — but then, the first job of the admissions office is to sell you on the school.
We got lost once. We also got to one school too late for the last tour, but after a chance encounter with a student learned more about what it felt like to go there — and how the students thought about themselves — than we could have in any “information session.” We ate in college cafeterias, chatted with college librarians — we share a passion for libraries — and, when permitted, traipsed through dormitories.
Whenever possible my daughter sat in on classes. In several cases this resulted in her falling in love — with a school, or a teacher, or a subject she’d given up for A-Level but realized she could take in college. But I also realized (better late than never) that picking a college was about more than just education. It was also about deciding where and with what kind of people you wanted to live.
We returned to London with every school still on her list — evidence, perhaps, of careful advance work — but with a much clearer idea of what it would actually be like to attend each. My daughter had a notebook filled with impressions of each campus, plusses and minuses, and questions to be followed up later.
I had a sense of how much this is her process, her decision, her life.I learned a lot about how colleges present themselves — the way schools with a core curriculum celebrate that, and how schools with more freedom emphasize that, and how everyone seems to talk a good game when it comes to balancing teaching and research.
But more important than any of that — and the reason I’d advise anyone who can spare the time and money to go on their own college tour, even if it’s just in one country, or your home state — is what I learned about my daughter.
Our 10 days were the most time we’d ever spent together without the rest of our family. We listened to her iPod playlist, talked about books and movies and math puzzles and Mexican food and the importance of timing in comedy. I don’t know where she’ll go to college, but I’m a lot more certain that she’ll make the most of wherever she ends up.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has issued a statement urging governments to avoid introducing quarantine measures when re-opening their air services and national economies. It is promoting a layered approach of measures which it says will reduce the risk of countries importing COVID-19 via air travel while mitigating the possibility of transmission in cases where people may travel while unknowingly being infected.
IATA’S director general and CEO, Alexandre de Juniac, commented: “Imposing quarantine measures on arriving travellers keeps countries in isolation and the travel and tourism sector in lockdown. Fortunately, there are policy alternatives that can reduce the risk of importing COVID-19 infections while still allowing for the resumption of travel and tourism that are vital to jumpstarting national economies. “We are proposing a framework with layers of protection to keep sick people from travelling and to mitigate the risk of transmission should a traveller discover they were infected after arrival.”
IATA is encouraging bio-safety measures in two areas:
1: Reducing the risk of imported cases via travellers:
- Discouraging symptomatic passengers from travelling: It is important that passengers do not travel when ill. To encourage passengers to “do the right thing” and stay home if they are unwell or potentially exposed, airlines are offering travellers flexibility in adjusting their bookings.
- Public health risk mitigation measures: IATA said it supports health screening by governments in the form of health declarations. It says that to avoid privacy issues and cut the risk of infection possible with paper documents, standardised contact-less electronic declarations via government web portals or government mobile applications are recommended.
It noted that health screening using measures such as non-intrusive temperature checks can also play an important role. Although temperature checks are not the most effective screening method for COVID-19 symptoms, IATA said they can act as a deterrent to travelling while unwell. Temperature checks can also shore-up passenger confidence. In a recent IATA survey of travellers, 80% indicated that temperature checks make them feel safer when travelling.
- COVID-19 testing for travellers from countries perceived to be “higher-risk”: IATA says that when accepting travellers from countries where the rate of new infections is significantly higher, the arrival authority could consider COVID-19 testing. It is recommended that tests are undertaken prior to arrival at the departure airport (so as not to add to airport congestion and avoid the potential for contagion in the travel process) with documentation to prove a negative result. Tests would need to be widely available and highly accurate, with results delivered quickly. It noted that test data would need to be independently validated so as to be mutually recognised by governments and securely transmitted to the relevant authorities. Testing should be for active virus (polymerase chain reaction or PCR) rather than for antibodies or antigens.
2: Mitigating Risk in Cases Where an Infected Person Does Travel
- Reducing the risk of transmission during the air travel journey: IATA encourages the universal implementation of the Take-Off guidelines –temporary risk-based and multi-layered approach to mitigate the risks of transmitting COVID-19 during air travel – published by ICAO. The comprehensive Take-Off guidelines are closely aligned with the recommendations of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These include mask wearing throughout the travel process, enhanced sanitisation, health declarations and social distancing where possible.
- Contact tracing: This is the back-up measure, should someone be detected as infected after arrival. IATA said the rapid identification and isolation of contacts contains the risk without large-scale economic or social disruption. New mobile technology has the potential to automate part of the contact-tracing process, provided privacy concerns can be addressed.
- Reducing risk of transmission at destination: IATA noted that various governments are introducing measures to try to limit the spread of the virus within their territory that will also mitigate the risk from travellers. In addition, the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) Safe Travel protocols provide what IATA described as a pragmatic approach for the hospitality sector to enable safe tourism and restore traveller confidence. Areas of the industry covered by the protocols include hospitality, attractions, retail, tour operators, and meeting planners.
Mr de Juniac commented: “Safely restarting the economy is a priority. That includes travel and tourism. Quarantine measures may play a role in keeping people safe, but they will also keep many unemployed. The alternative is to reduce risks through a series of measures. Airlines are already offering flexibility so there is no incentive for sick or at-risk people to travel. Health declarations, screening and testing by governments will add extra layers of protection. And if someone travels while infected, we can reduce the risk of transmission with protocols to prevent the spread during travel or when at destination. And effective contact tracing can isolate those most at risk without major disruptions.”
Noting that there are still hurdles along the path towards implementing the full suite of measures, he added: “Data transmission, required for health declarations, testing and tracing, raises privacy concerns. And mutually recognised standards would be needed for testing. Governments have a common interest in finding solutions. The rapid agreement by governments to ICAO’s Take-Off guidelines demonstrates that progress on complex issues is possible where there is the political will to do so.”
IATA’s statement said that there is “every economic incentive to make a layered approach work”, highlighting that the WTTC estimates that travel and tourism accounts for 10.3% of global GDP and 300 million jobs globally (direct, indirect, and induced economic impact). It said mandatory quarantine measures stop people from travelling and that recent public opinion research had revealed that 83% of travellers would not even consider flying if quarantine measures were imposed on travellers at their destination and added the analysis of trends during the lockdown period shows that countries imposing quarantine saw arrivals decrease by more than 90%, an outcome that is similar to countries that banned foreign arrivals.
Mr de Juniac concluded: “A layered approach to safety has made flying the safest way to travel while still enabling the system to function efficiently. That should be an inspirational framework to guide governments in protecting their citizens from the terrible risks of both the virus and joblessness. Quarantine is a lop-sided solution that protects one and absolutely fails at the other. We need government leadership to deliver a balanced protection.” | <urn:uuid:9e2df772-d7ce-408b-a502-5aaa32553fe4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://airportsinternational.keypublishing.com/2020/06/25/iata-proposes-an-alternative-to-arrivals-quarantine/ | 2020-09-29T14:42:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00740.warc.gz | en | 0.947195 | 1,328 |
I am using the SICP book which is build for Scheme/Racket (lisp family). In this exercise I had some problems:
1.11 A function f is defined by the rule that f(n) = n if n<3 and f(n) = f(n - 1) + 2f(n - 2) + 3f(n - 3) if n> 3. Write a procedure that computes f by means of a recursive process. Write a procedure that computes f by means of an iterative process.
A fully recursive function in Racket for this exercise is easy:
(define (f n)
(cond ((< n 3) n)
(else (+ (f (- n 1))
(* 2 (f (- n 2)))
(* 3 (f (- n 3)))))))
count = 0
limite = n - 2
soma = 0
count = count + 1
soma = funcao_f(n-1)+2*funcao_f(n-2)+3*funcao_f(n-3)
funcao_f function is recursive.
The definition of recursive function can be: f is recursive if it calls f directly or indirectly, eg.:
def f(x): if x <= 0: return 0 else: return g(x) def g(y): return 5 + f(x - 1)
The definition of iterative function is not so easy to write. I think we could define it like this: f is iterative if it is not recursive.
Your lisp function:
(define (f n) (cond ((< n 3) n) (else (+ (f (- n 1)) (* 2 (f (- n 2))) (* 3 (f (- n 3)))))))
Could be translated in Python like this:
def f(n): if n < 3: return n else: return f(n - 1) + 2 * f(n - 2) + 3 * f(n - 3)
To convert this function to an iterative function, you need 3 local variable to keep the values of f for n - 1, n - 2 and n - 3. And use a loop, of course. | <urn:uuid:47751131-cc6a-4446-a7f5-0db48bfc196b> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://codedump.io/share/TXCsjUHrODMw/1/is-this-a-recursive-or-iterative-function | 2018-05-25T22:48:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867220.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525215613-20180525235613-00582.warc.gz | en | 0.701731 | 469 |
What Are Eating Disorders?
An eating disorder is marked by extremes. It is present when a person experiences severe disturbances in eating behavior, such as extreme reduction of food intake or extreme overeating, or feelings of extreme distress or concern about body weight or shape.
Types of eating disorders:
- Anorexia Nervosa
- Bulimia Nervosa
- Binge-Eating Disorder

Anorexia nervosa is characterized by emaciation, a relentless pursuit of thinness and unwillingness to maintain a normal or healthy weight, a distortion of body image and intense fear of gaining weight, a lack of menstruation among girls and women, and extremely disturbed eating behavior. Some people with anorexia lose weight by dieting and exercising excessively; others lose weight by self-induced vomiting, or misusing laxatives, diuretics or enemas.
Many people with anorexia see themselves as overweight, even when they are starved or are clearly malnourished. Eating, food and weight control become obsessions. A person with anorexia typically weighs herself or himself repeatedly, portions food carefully, and eats only very small quantities of only certain foods. Some who have anorexia recover with treatment after only one episode. Others get well but have relapses. Still others have a more chronic form of anorexia, in which their health deteriorates over many years as they battle the illness.
According to some studies, people with anorexia are up to ten times more likely to die as a result of their illness compared to those without the disorder. The most common complications that lead to death are cardiac arrest, and electrolyte and fluid imbalances. Suicide also can result.
Many people with anorexia also have coexisting psychiatric and physical illnesses, including depression, anxiety, obsessive behavior, substance abuse, cardiovascular and neurological complications, and impaired physical development.
Other symptoms may develop over time, including:
- thinning of the bones (osteopenia or osteoporosis)
- brittle hair and nails
- dry and yellowish skin
- growth of fine hair over body (e.g., lanugo)
- mild anemia, and muscle weakness and loss
- severe constipation
- low blood pressure, slowed breathing and pulse
- drop in internal body temperature, causing a person to feel cold all the time
Treating anorexia involves three components:
- restoring the person to a healthy weight;
- treating the psychological issues related to the eating disorder; and
- reducing or eliminating behaviors or thoughts that lead to disordered eating, and preventing relapse.
Some research suggests that the use of medications, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics or mood stabilizers, may be modestly effective in treating patients with anorexia by helping to resolve mood and anxiety symptoms that often co-exist with anorexia.
Different forms of psychotherapy, including individual, group and family-based, can help address the psychological reasons for the illness. Some studies suggest that family-based therapies in which parents assume responsibility for feeding their afflicted adolescent are the most effective in helping a person with anorexia gain weight and improve eating habits and moods.
Others have noted that a combined approach of medical attention and supportive psychotherapy designed specifically for anorexia patients is more effective than just psychotherapy. Unfortunately, no specific psychotherapy appears to be consistently effective for treating adults with anorexia.
Bulimia nervosa is characterized by recurrent and frequent episodes of eating unusually large amounts of food (e.g., binge-eating), and feeling a lack of control over the eating. This binge-eating is followed by a type of behavior that compensates for the binge, such as purging (e.g., vomiting, excessive use of laxatives or diuretics), fasting and/or excessive exercise.
Unlike anorexia, people with bulimia can fall within the normal range for their age and weight. But like people with anorexia, they often fear gaining weight, want desperately to lose weight, and are intensely unhappy with their body size and shape. Usually, bulimic behavior is done secretly, because it is often accompanied by feelings of disgust or shame. The binging and purging cycle usually repeats several times a week. Similar to anorexia, people with bulimia often have coexisting psychological illnesses, such as depression, anxiety and/or substance abuse problems. Many physical conditions result from the purging aspect of the illness, including electrolyte imbalances, gastrointestinal problems, and oral and tooth-related problems.
Other symptoms include:

• chronically inflamed and sore throat

• swollen glands in the neck and below the jaw

• worn tooth enamel and increasingly sensitive and decaying teeth as a result of exposure to stomach acids

• gastroesophageal reflux disorder

• intestinal distress and irritation from laxative abuse

• kidney problems from diuretic abuse

• severe dehydration from purging of fluids
To reduce or eliminate binge and purge behavior, a patient may undergo nutritional counseling and psychotherapy, especially cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or be prescribed medication. Some antidepressants, such as fluoxetine (Prozac), which is the only medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating bulimia, may help patients who also have depression and/or anxiety. It also appears to help reduce binge-eating and purging behavior, reduces the chance of relapse, and improves eating attitudes.
CBT that has been tailored to treat bulimia also has shown to be effective in changing binging and purging behavior, and eating attitudes. Therapy may be individually oriented or group-based.

Binge-eating disorder is characterized by recurrent binge-eating episodes during which a person feels a loss of control over his or her eating. Unlike bulimia, binge-eating episodes are not followed by purging, excessive exercise or fasting. As a result, people with binge-eating disorder often are overweight or obese. They also experience guilt, shame and/or distress about the binge-eating, which can lead to more binge-eating.
Obese people with binge-eating disorder often have coexisting psychological illnesses including anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. In addition, links between obesity and cardiovascular disease and hypertension are well documented.
Treatment options for binge-eating disorder
Treatment options for binge-eating disorder are similar to those used to treat bulimia. Fluoxetine and other antidepressants may reduce binge-eating episodes and help alleviate depression in some patients.
Patients with binge-eating disorder also may be prescribed appetite suppressants. Psychotherapy, especially CBT, is also used to treat the underlying psychological issues associated with binge-eating, in an individual or group environment.

Queerty is better as a member
OH SNAP — Because Cristiano Ronaldo cannot always be poolside or rock out with his cock out, sometimes he must hit practice with Portuguese National team (seen here warming up in Copenhagen). (Photos: Fame)
Fernando Torres is way hotter
no ones going to kick him out of bed…
He was covered by Mark Simpson more than once as a hot “sporno” star. In Eurpoe and the UK because their athletes are so god awefully cute and “tarty’ . He is playing for the UK now even tho from Portugal. Mark has picturesof him in his tiny swinmsuit in LA. Tres hot!
Sorrowfully, our games don’t attract intelligence or coordination so they also seem to lack good looks, at least that you would know it.
Ronaldo is a superstar on the feild-worth a ton of money. They are not just cute still but magfic in motion. Good players are singular.
Are Americans to slow to follow soccar?
I think he is gorgeous. I found this one foto of him coming out of the surf. Nice VPL. I just stumbled upon it. But no matter how great he is, he is not worth the amount paid for his contract. What? A billion, yes; with a B; euros. No one is worth that, no matter how good they are.
And it’s called football in every other country except the US. Only we Americans call it soccer for some reason. And I think it never took off because most Americans see soccer as a kids sport, not worthy of playing as adults. I think it’s huge fun. I want to go to games, but their aren’t many around.
He has a good body but his face is over-rated. The latter looks like a cross between an Amazon pigmy and a German migrant.
he’s soooo hot,portugal 4 life!!
Check this out:
I’m pretty sure that I could drink his dirty bath water for breakfast, lunch and dinner
He’s attractive, but I’d take Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid any day over Cristiano!
I’ll settle for the bathwater, if I could scrub him down.. Cristiano is strong and thicker than Ramos.
