Output from the plant was earlier evenly split between MIBK and methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC), he added.
It is a usual practice for Mitsui to produce other solvents such as MIBC several times a year.
MIBK spot prices rose $20-30/tonne (€15-22/tonne) to $1,730-1,750/tonne CFR China on the back of a higher-priced fixture and buy-sell discussions during last week, and also due to firm feedstock acetone costs, market sources said.
Feedstock acetone spot prices were up $20-50/tonne at $920-1,010/tonne
($1 = €0.73)

In his book The End of College, Kevin Carey argues that we are on the brink of a revolution in higher education. He believes that college-as-usual (aka four-years-and-football) is not sustainable and disruption of the research university model is on its way. He argues that:
There are many reasons for parents to leave most of the college admissions work to their child. After all, you can't go to college for them, so the student needs to be in charge of choosing the college, completing the applications, taking the ACT/SAT, asking for letters of recommendation, participating in extracurriculars, etc. But there is one college admissions project that is perfect for the parents to do: the activities record/resume.
What's an activities resume?
The activities resume is a list of everything that has happened to your child outside the classroom during high school. This includes clubs and activities, lessons, summer projects, achievements, awards, etc. starting right after 8th grade. You know that college is looming, even though your 14 year old won't pay attention for at least a couple of years. Beginning and updating the activities resume is a way for moms and dads to get a jump on the college admissions process.
You have the data, write it down
I know you have a place where you keep all the evidence of your kids' greatness. I have a drawer in my kitchen stuffed full of xeroxed band concert programs, 4-H awards and old standardized test reports. It's in reverse chronological order, because after the paper had sat on the kitchen counter the requisite number of days, I'd just shove it in the drawer on top of whatever else is in there. When it came time for my boys to fill out their applications, suddenly it was important to know what they did when. What exactly did they do that showed leadership or community service? What honors and awards had they won?

Vacation rentals in Italy (villas, farms, estates, agriturismo, apartments)
Review 126: Rentvillas, Quaratesi
3bed/3bath apartment in castle near Greve, Tuscany Chianti
In early June 2000 five friends and I rented a 3 bedroom apartment called Quaratesi in a 14-15th century "castle" near Greve in Chianti. We booked through rentvillas.com, and had no problems with them except that the final cleaning fees were much greater than anticipated (we were charged per person rather than a flat fee). Since I was the one in the group responsible for the final property selection, I was very happy when the agency gave me the e-mail addresses of several previous renters. I contacted them and got lots of details ahead of time.
The property is located about 5 minutes outside Greve, up a winding dirt road into the hills. It is close enough to walk to town, but we didn't because the road was so rough and narrow.
We were told to watch for a curving wall and iron gate, and when we pulled up, were delighted to see a cypress-shaded path up to the castle. The castle is a large block-like building and doesn't have the classic turrets or tower. It is more like a large manor house. It contains 4 apartments; ours was the only one rented out. The owners live across the courtyard, and the other 2 apartments are owned by German families. You enter an arched doorway into the courtyard, which has a well, and a view through another door into the gardens -- we were met with the fragrance of jasmine and roses, which were just blooming. The door to the apartment is off the courtyard.
You enter the apartment through a small cloakroom. The only other room on the ground floor was a small room which leads to the first of several patios. Up the very narrow stairs on the 1st floor are two bedrooms with double beds, wardrobes and dressers, 2 tile bathrooms with showers, a kitchen and large dining room. On the floor above was a large living room with fireplace and the third bedroom.
The furniture is very lived-in and relatively comfortable, but not fancy. The kitchen has a small refrigerator and pantry unit, and a small table which we used as a work surface. It was adequate for uncomplicated cooking. There was another small patio off the kitchen which led to the laundry room (washer only; there were clotheslines on one of the patios for drying).
All the rooms had very large (unscreened) windows which looked out onto views of the hills and vineyards below. These views were magnificant and unobstructed, and I tried to memorize the lovely curve of the hills.
The very best thing about Quaratesi is the covered loggia and large garden area in the back which overlooks the countryside. It is furnished with wickerfurniture and is a wonderful place to sit at sunset. The lawn has beds of poppies, a rosemary bush and other flowers. There are tables and benches under the trees, and it was an idyllic spot for breakfast. There are other houses visible on the facing hillsides, but the area is very quiet and peaceful.
The owner and his wife Maria don't speak much English, but her sister comes in from Florence on check-in day to answer questions and help you get settled. Maria is reportedly a great cook, and can make lunch or dinner for your group in the castle's main kitchen. Some previous guests said that is was one of their best meals in Italy.
I and everyone in my group would love to return to this property. It is in a very convenient location for daytrips throughout Chianti and into Florence. Greve has some good pizza spots, a very nice bakery and butcher shop, and a great photo gallery which produces some of the calendars you see for sale everywhere.

Don’t worry this isn’t a post about the 80’s TV game show Going For Gold. And apologies if you now can’t get the irritatingly catchy theme tune out of your head. No this post is about why you seriously need to consider gold fittings in your new kitchen or bathroom
I know I know you probably feel like you’ve only just got rid of all your old Victorian brass plug sockets and light switches. And some of you might even have made the move from polished chrome to satin chrome or nickel by now. And if you were seduced by the copper trend it might be too early for yet another hardware change. But I promise you this is worth taking a look at. I’ll even stick my neck out and say it’s going to be a keeper not a fad. So shall we start in the kitchen?
Giving your kitchen the Midas touch
Gold handles undoubtedly work best with dark furniture. Don’t worry that your appliances might still be stainless steel. Unless your last name is Versace a gold oven or hob would be a step too far. The gold touches should be accessories not the kitchen.
Gold taps stand out whether your worktops are dark or light.
And gold works equally well with traditional and contemporary style kitchens. I particularly like to see it used with grey gloss kitchens.
But you don’t need a bold colour to make gold work it can add warmth to an all white kitchen.
So if I’ve convinced you the good news is gold handles are everywhere, although the trick is to search for polished brass rather than gold. More Handles in Carlisle have a great selection and you can order online.
Contemporary gold kitchen taps are not so plentiful (ironically like gold dust….), unless you have a few bucks. But don’t worry if you don’t as IKEA has one for just £90.
I also found these three on eBay for under £100.
Now I could write a whole post about gorgeous gold lighting. In fact I will (when I get chance) so subscribe if you don’t want to miss it…..
Working Gold Into Your Bathroom
The same principles in terms of style and colour apply in bathrooms.
Traditional or contemporary, light or bold colours, gold works across the board.
There are so many more fabulous opportunities to accessorise in a bathroom too – lighting, mirrors, towel rails etc.
The choice of contemporary gold bathroom taps is still a little limited but I recently used the Mode Spencer champagne gold range from Victoria Plum. in Solo Beauty in Workington (full before and afters soon).
The range includes basin and bath taps, showers and accessories.
I also added this little bit of bling in their customer bathroom….
Retailers still need to catch up and start producing affordable gold shower enclosures, but if you can have a walk in then you can get a gold stabilising bracket from Kudos.
So what do you think, have I convinced you to at least consider gold? Or are you now sold on gold so to speak… | <urn:uuid:6392a043-3a6a-4a8e-807f-9e2f10de02e1> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | http://mrsw.co.uk/going-for-gold-in-kitchens-bathrooms/ | 2019-08-25T00:54:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027322160.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190825000550-20190825022550-00315.warc.gz | en | 0.925242 | 650 |
EHR Data Often 'Inaccurate,' Columbia University Research Finds
Electronic health records data is often "inaccurate" or "missing," Columbia University researchers have found, according to an article published in the Journal of the Medical Informatics Association.
"Significant bias" could result from use of EHRs if they're used "naively," according to the report, which was published online Sept. 6. The authors include Dr. George Hripcsak, a professor of biomedical informatics at Columbia, and David J. Albers, associate research scientist of biomedical informatics at the university.
EHRs hold a lot of promise for record keeping in the health care industry and increasing patient outcomes. Federal "meaningful use" incentives on EHR use as well as the rise of cloud computing and mobility will lead 80 percent of health care organizations to adopt EHRs by 2016, according to a May 30 report by research firm IDC.
Data from EHRs can be used to boost population health as doctors are able to see patterns among a population, but if data is missing, this could hamper data research efforts, according to the report.
"EHRs have incredibly valuable information in them, and clinicians use them successfully to treat patients," Columbia's Hripcsak told eWEEK in an email. "Nevertheless, if they are used naively for research, they may produce distorted results."
The study discusses how data can be extracted from EHRs so that it's clinically relevant. New models of learning from data could lead the health care industry to use EHRs more efficiently, according to Hripcsak.
"We need models of how the health care process works to understand how to use the data properly," said Hripcsak. Data would need to account for information recorded at night vs. day and the fact that the patients at night are sicker, he added.
Collaboration among researchers in informatics, computer science, statistics, physics, mathematics, epidemiology and philosophy will also be necessary to better comprehend EHR data, according to Hripcsak.
Current methodologies for EHR use are inadequate because patient symptoms are poorly documented before death, he said. In fact, "naive" use of EHRs can lead people to believe that healthier people are at greater risk for death than those that are ill, Hripcsak suggested.

Frail and Blanche JoinesJohn Elree Joines -- or "Frail," as he was nicknamed and always called-- was the fourth of nine children. He was born in 1914 in a house built of logs eighteen inches thick, daubed, papered, and sealed in weatherboard. It had a living room thirty-six feet square, with one window, a door with a drawstring, rooms overhead, and other rooms built onto it. He was a chubby baby, so someone teasingly called him by the name of a local fat man named Fraley. The name stuck. He resented the nickname as a boy, but as he grew into a tough, sturdy teenager, he came to enjoy its comic inappropriateness. Other people spelled the nickname as Frale or Fraley, but Frail preferred the spelling that underscores that comedy.
His family was kin to most of the others within four or five miles. His mother's people, a family of German descent named Brock, were fairly prosperous and peaceable farmers. They had books and liked to read. His father's people, who he believes came originally from near Liverpool, had intermarried with Cherokees and had a name f or loving to fight. Although his father shared this bent and drank too hard and often, he taught the children hard work and strict honesty. He "had plenty of sense" and could in his head figure the number of feet of lumber in a stack of logs faster than most men could with a pencil, but he never learned to read or write.
Schooling was still hard to come by when Frail Joines was a boy. He reached the eighth grade, excelling in arithmetic, spelling, and geography, all of which he loved, but estimates that he actually attended school only four years, and rarely as much as two months a year. His chief schooling was in how to work animals and care for them, to prepare the land, plant, tend, and harvest crops, to cut and haul timber, and to perform other tasks of a farming community. At the age of thirteen Frail Joines left home as a result of a dispute with his father, moved to the home of a married sister, and began to earn his own living. He worked three years for an orchard, eighteen months at a saw mill (at twenty cents an hour, doing two men's work and getting twice the usual pay), two years for a farmer, nine months at a furniture factory, several years breaking mules and horses in Wilkes and neighboring counties, three years logging, and one year at a mirror factory. He was an unusually strong young man. On his eighteenth birthday, he won a bet by carrying five hundred pounds of feed around a store building, one sack under each arm, one on each shoulder, and one grasped in his teeth.
In 1942 he enlisted in the Army and for the first time traveled further than a hundred and fifty miles from home. He trained in Illinois and Colorado and served in England and Scotland as a medic. He crossed the English channel to France seventeen days after the D-Day invasion and was a ward master in a thousand-bed field hospital first in Carentan and then in Commercy. During the Battle of the Bulge he volunteered for the Infantry and was sent to the front as a medic in January 1945. He was on the front lines from then until the end of the War, in campaigns in northern France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. His unit -- the 328th Infantry Regiment of the Twenty-Sixth Infantry Division of Patton's Third Army -- was thirty miles beyond Linz when the war ended on May 8, 1945.
During the war Frail's sister had arranged a correspondence between him and one of her husband's relatives, Blanche Clanton. Frail and Blanche became interested in each other and met when he came home on a furlough in April 1943. They married during his second furlough, on August 9th of that year, just before he went overseas. Blanche was born June 19, 1922, on a farm in Iredell, a neighboring piedmont county. Her father left the family when she was two or three, and her mother moved to Kannapolis to earn a living taking in mill workers as boarders. She later moved back to a town in Iredell and remarried. Blanche loved school and was an excellent student, but could not attend beyond the seventh grade. At fourteen she worked for some months in the spinning room of a cotton mill (without pay during her training period), but had to leave when the Child Labor Law was passed. From then until her marriage she lived with her mother, helping her to farm and also picking some cotton and sewing for neighbors.
After the War Mr. and Mrs. Joines had three children--two daughters and a son--all of whom were to attend universities as honors students and earn graduate degrees. (Joyce Newman has two master's degrees, her sister Carol has an MS in genetics, and her brother Jerry an M.D. and Ph.D.) Mr. Joines wanted to support his family by farming and was able to buy a farm after the war, but the first of his two back injuries forced him to give it up. Later the inflation of land prices put farm ownership beyond his reach. He consequently worked during these years as manager of an orchard, as caretaker of an estate, as a mechanic in a garage, as a surveyor, and as a landscaper. He retired in 1978, but he and Mrs. Joines enjoyed raising much of their own food in a family garden. Mrs. Joines had worked for Woolworth's department store, for an orchard, and for several florists. Her own effort to set up a flower shop, like her husband's earlier attempt to buy and operate a farm, was ended by sickness. In 1965 she had to stop work because of heart trouble. She continued for many years to live in their home, but in 2003 lives in Carrboro, NC. Her husband Frail Joines died at the age of 67 on April 24, 1982, two and a half years after the completion of the film "Being a Joines".

Country Music Fans Furious Over CMT’s Promotion of Gun Ban
I want to strongly urge you to sign up for Todd’s free newsletter. It’s your only lifeline to conservative news and commentary. We can no longer rely on social media. Click here to subscribe.
The Country Music Television Awards is facing massive backlash from music fans following the station’s promotion of the Wear Orange Campaign on National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
The Wear Orange Campaign states that it wants other to wear orange because that “Orange is the color that Hadiya Pendleton’s friends wore in her honor when she was shot and killed in Chicago at the age of 15 — just one week after performing at President Obama’s 2nd inaugural parade in 2013. After her death, they asked us to stand up, speak out, and Wear Orange to raise awareness about gun violence.”
The website also says that “[w]e wear orange to be seen, and demand that we be heard” on its information page.
The CMT awards show will be hosted by music superstars Kelsea Ballerini and Kane Brown Wednesday night. But their audience may be smaller than usual.
The social media post didn’t go over well with a majority of users, and many are saying they’re boycotting the show.
The Lost Angeles Times conducted a survey and reported that 95 percents of the first 100 participants on the show’s page were “unhappy” with CMT’s virtue signaling.
The ironic reality is that a majority of CMT’s base is Americans that exercise their Second Amendment right. | <urn:uuid:ae437b09-c7c1-465e-a56e-3cb01b3ce12d> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.toddstarnes.com/values/country-music-fans-furious-over-cmts-promotion-of-gun-ban/ | 2022-05-22T17:48:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662545875.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220522160113-20220522190113-00211.warc.gz | en | 0.949398 | 350 |
Sperm donors at New Life go through a thorough selection before offering their donations. Only a physically and psychologically healthy male of up to 40 years-old who already has a healthy child of their own can be your sperm donor. All our potential candidates must pass a bunch of special examinations, such as blood analyses for AIDS, hepatitis B and C, and other sexually-transmitted and genetic diseases or pathologies.
After all the tests are done, donors first provide semen samples for quality check of the biomaterial. In particular, it must contain over 60% of sperm cells in 1 ml of semen – 80 million cells all in all. Only after the successful quality check can donors provide the biomaterial for our sperm bank.
All procedures take place anonymously and neither a sperm donor knows where their sperm goes nor those who eventually receive the biomaterial know from whom it comes. | <urn:uuid:9c6b402c-094e-403b-bdfe-ad1c28e125ed> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.new-life.ua/services/sperm-donors/ | 2020-07-16T13:40:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657169226.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716122414-20200716152414-00340.warc.gz | en | 0.936903 | 175 |

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Top Ten Books That Would Be On Your Syllabus If You Taught X 101 (examples: feminist literature 101, magic in YA 101, classic YA lit 101, world-building 101).
After some thought I’ve decided to “teach” Young Adult Fantasy 101. This is my syllabus:
1.) We shall start my class with the mother of all fantasy books:
Harry Potter! This counts as Young Adult Fantasy right? Of course it does because I’m the Professor and I said it does, so sit back down. I can’t possibly teach a class about YA Fantasy and NOT talk about the perfection that is Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling is a goddess of writing ya’ll. Do we have time to read all 7 in this syllabus? We will make time my dear pupils. The Harry Potter series cover one of the MAJOR fantasy necessities: magic. You don’t have to have magic to be in the fantasy genre but it is a big element and Harry Potter is all about that magic. It also has an imaginary world (Hogwarts) and magical creatures (Hippogriffs, etc.). With these books we can concentrate on the magical aspect of the YA Fantasy genre.
2.) The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien:
Now if we can’t have YA Fantasy 101 without Harry Potter then surely, SURELY we absolutely cannot have it without anything by Tolkien!! Now you may be wondering why I picked “The Hobbit” over any of “The Lord of the Rings” books, and the reason is that “The Hobbit” quite simply is easier to follow and understand. If this was Fantasy 101 then we’d probably switch them out but this is YA Fantasy 101 and “The Hobbit” just fits better. With this book we have all the classic fantasy traits: different races (men, elves, dwarves, hobbits), magic, it’s 100% imaginary world setting, and the traditional good vs. evil. So that should be all the reason I need to include this into my syllabus.
3.) Half a King by Joe Abercrombie:
This is a perfect example of a YA Fantasy book that blends many of the fantasy subgenres together. Epic Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, High Fantasy, and so forth. Once again it shows traditional elements of magic and magical races (elves). But then it shows the grim atmosphere of Dark Fantasy with its royal politics and betrayals and such.
4.) Eragon by Christopher Paolini:
Dragons. This is included because there’s dragons…..I’m sorry doesn’t that count? Fine. “Eragon” demonstrates the fantasy element of magical creatures very well because obviously…dragons. But it also has the traditional races such as elves and men, and contains magic.
5.) Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes:
This is essentially the Young Adult version of “Game of Thrones”, and since that is definitely an adult fantasy book I’m including “Falling Kingdoms” as my replacement. You have your magic, royal politics, different POV’s, and so forth. I think the whole YA “Game of Thrones” is enough to convince you that it NEEDS to be included into the syllabus.
6.) Throne of Glass by Sara J. Maas:
This series is HUGE in YA Fantasy. It’s set in an imaginary world, with royals, battles, all that good stuff. It needs to be included. It just does.
7.) Graceling by Kristin Cashore:
Same as with “Throne of Glass” I think it’s very hard to think about YA Fantasy and not include “Graceling” on the list. It is a staple of YA Fantasy in my opinion.
8.) Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch:
A fairly recent addition to the YA Fantasy genre but a very, very good one. It’s fantasy because you have your basic sword and sorcery type stuff going on and it’s young adult because you get your love triangles and male eye candy! Ta-Da!
9.) Percy Jackson & The Olympians by Rick Riordan:
Again, I’m including the entire series….because I can. These books contain everything you need in a fantasy series: magical creatures (Pegasi), magic, different races (demigods, gods, cyclops, etc.). It’s awesome. The Percy Jackson series focuses on Greek mythology, and combining them with our modern day world. They will help us focus on the aspect of magical races and creatures in the YA Fantasy genre. (I know this is technically Middle Grade but I don’t care!)
10.) And finally, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo:
I think I’m putting this one in as a “What Not To Do If You Want A YA Fantasy”. There’s very light world building. There is magic though so there’s some points. I also don’t feel right doing a syllabus about YA Fantasy and not having this one here.
So what do you guys think? Would you want to take my YA Fantasy course? | <urn:uuid:abb53a99-8a38-474f-be96-339918309e63> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://thesassygeek.wordpress.com/2015/08/25/top-ten-tuesday-ya-fantasy-101/ | 2017-04-28T02:34:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917122726.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031202-00250-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.916533 | 1,160 |
The beginning of January…a fresh start…a new beginning…this time things will be different. That’s what most of us think. Why shouldn’t we homeschool moms be any different? I spent last week organizing fussing over all the school shelves. I spent the past two nights tweaking a schedule I had already planned out extensively over the summer. “We must have a place for everything with everything in it’s place before we begin!” I emphatically shouted to myself. This time things will be different. This time we will stay on track. This time I will make a plan. This time my plan will go accordingly. This time my kids will sit patiently, shout hooray when I announce it’s time for school, come running excitedly when I call, and quietly color as I read great literature and teach them about our founding fathers.
Just got interrupted in the middle of this post by a 2 year old dumping toilet water all over the laundry room floor. Which, I’m pretty sure, just made my statement for me about our first day back in school!
Maybe tonight I will get a bit of peace and quiet to read this book:
Oh…who am I kidding? Maybe will get a post in about our school week by the end of the week.

Through the Walls of Hopelessness
There is such a chill.
I’d make use of my flesh
as a heart warmer if only
it hadn’t withered to naught.
Bone protrusions meddle with
the rags of skin that remain
to drape about them.
I feel shame board off
the windows peering into
What does one do with their rejected help?
Where does one go to hide from the
monsters of hopelessness?
Care tries to focus beyond the boards
into the depths of my answerless pupils.
I hear pain meagerly challenge the
question deep within my heart, gingerly
prodding at the loose cloth that remains
of my physique.
When did arrogance overpower the
affect of compassion?
Tears collect around my eclipsed eyes,
drowning out faith, drowning out liberty.
My eyelashes swing profusely at the pools
of sadness, but needles of ignorance
sew them to my brow with threads of pessimism.
I try to watch through the sorrow.
How can such barbaric norms exist amongst
Slander poisons the air my lungs rely on,
dirtying the words that exit my mouth.
I feel my throat close.
Slander is poisoning my air.
My throat is tight.
As my eyelids become heavy I have but
one thing left, the fold of serenity in my brain.
I feel the air carving prejudices into my voice box.
The only segregation I allow is between my mind and the slander.
The choking is done.
I am done.
Serenity prevails and
I am done.
I am done, but serenity prevails.

Without a vision, the people perish Prov. 29:18
BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR VISION
It gives life. Participate in your vision every day.
For me, visions are how we see ourselves in the future. It addresses goals, aspirations, great ideas and amazing possibilities. Your visions are never ordinary. The size of a vision is only measured by you; try not to limit it.
Yes, you can have more than one vision; you can even have add-ons. Sometimes on the journey to realized visions the scope changes…it is enlarged.
It often takes time for visions to manifest or be realized. Keep your vision in the forefront; never lose focus. Work towards it frequently even if the steps are miniature ones. Research, reevaluate, revitalize, compile, recreate, renew, and do whatever you can to keep moving towards it.
DO NOT BE DAUNTED IF PERCHANCE YOU ARE WAYLAID
Start again. Living presents the ever present opportunity to try again. Visions may require adjusting as you journey through the changes that life presents; nevertheless, refuse to perish. Your dream may be the catalyst for someone else’s vision. Your dream may drive another’s aspirations.
Visions are a breath of fresh air and cannot be limited by age, race or gender. I rather be a visionary always looking towards possibilities, than to dry up and wither “like a raisin in the sun.”1 I challenge you to attack your vision with vigor and to reject the naysayers. As long as you can see yourself within the vision move forward and change the world today and for generations to come.

All theology, I daresay, is just a series of guesses aboout this mystery, supposedly a personal explanation, according to Richard Swinburne, but only a pseudo- explanation for a pseudo-question: why is there something rather than nothing [Leibniz]? How could there be nothning? Ponder whatt Bede Rundle has to say in “Why is there Something rather than Nothing?’
I find the ignostic challenge, one of our postitive atheist challenges, underlines our negative challenges to natural theology rather making atheism also meaningless. How can one speak of the First Cause, the Highest Explanation ,when the term is so otiose? What does it mean to be the Grand Designer when a desinger means someone with substance rather than opaqueness? Ditto for the Grand Miracle Worker, the savior of Jewry and any other fatuous theistic arguments?
Faith, the we just say so of credulity, cannot make the unfathomable fathomable. Negative theology compounds the problem.
Thanks for these responses and any future ones.

You tear off towards the bridge as fast as your feet can carry you, and it’s not long before you reach the rickety construction. Splintery, with hundreds of loose nails waiting to snag errant pieces of clothing — the bridge is a marvel of engineering (or at least it’s a marvel that it’s still standing). Either way, you leap onto the bridge with all speed and race across. The boards of the bridge creak underfoot, but hold and you make it about halfway across the lake before the monster in the lake attacks.
At first it sounds like the normal creaking of the bridge, but it quickly swells in volume. As in your confrontation with Benziah, everything seems to slow down. The bridge in front of you starts to buckle and bend. The warping of the boards is quickly followed by an explosion of splinters, shooting out in all directions (you manage to shield your eyes, but your exposed skin is not so lucky). The subsequent absence of part of the bridge is then quickly filled with a massive writhing form. The part of this creature that sticks out above the water is thirty feet tall, if it’s an inch — with more hinted at just under the surface of the water. At almost ten feet wide, it almost completely blocks your passage. There is a small portion of the bridge left intact to the right of the creature, and if you’re quick you might be able to make it through.
Assuming, of course, that you could muster up the courage in the face of this horror. The part of the beast that rises above you is a tower of flesh covered in hideous screaming faces. It’s not so much the sight that turns your hair white as it is the sound, however. Each of the faces lets out a horrible screaming wail. Individually the sounds would be maddening, but together they form a twisted chorus — each voice raised in anti-harmonious song. The cacophony sends you briefly to your knees.
You glance behind you and see a humanoid form running towards you. In the darkness, however, you can’t make out who it is for sure.

A strange message scrawled on the wall of the San Fernando Jama Masjid, where Daniel Bostic was gunned down, left mourners troubled yesterday.
You are here
Kung Fu Grandpa
An 81-year-old businessman fought off two bandits during a daring home invasion yesterday, by kicking one of them so hard that they both fled the scene with whatever they had managed to grab before trying to subdue him in their Princes Town home.
With one bandit pinning him to the floor and the other smothering his mouth, and his wife screaming for help, father of ten Basdeo “Barrelman” Paltoo mustered all the strength he could find and kicked one of his attackers so hard in the chest that both of them fled, bolting through an open window and falling eight feet to the ground before escaping.
“I don’t get frightened too easily, I am not afraid to die,” Paltoo told the T&T Guardian hours after the bandits made off with cash and other items yesterday. The Paltoos operate the Paltoo and Son’s Barrel Shop at their Naparima Mayaro Road home. Although Basdeo was able to maintain a smile throughout the interview, his 76-year-old wife Dolly admitted the ordeal was too traumatic for her.
Police said two bandits entered the couple’s home around 2 am by climbing onto a barrel and removing three louvres near the roof of their house. One suspect slipped through the narrow opening and opened the front door for the other to enter. They were able to take out $200, ceramic ornaments valued at $300, a cellphone and several packs of cigarettes before returning to the house. By then, however, Paltoo had heard noises coming from their living room and went to investigate.
“I heard ‘click!’ ‘click!,’ so I got up and opened my door. But the fellah was standing there already,” he said. “I ran back in the bedroom and I started to make noise. The first fellah ran behind me and pushed me down to the ground and the second fellah came and he put his hand over my mouth. “While they held me down, I hit one of them a kick in his chest. From the time the fellah got that kick, both of them ran and jumped through the window.”
Paltoo managed to smile throughout the interview, but Dolly was not as excited about the ordeal. “When I saw the men holding him down, I started knock the ply hard and I was calling my son in the other room. I said ‘Ravi get up, look it have thieves inside the house,’” Dolly said. However, by the time Ravi came out the bandits had already escaped.
Paltoo said he could not see the bandits clearly because the house was in darkness. He said one suspect wore a hoodie while the other had a long hat on his head. He said he suspects the bandits may be teenagers from the area. Recapping the event, he said the break-in happened less than 30 minutes after the barbecue outlet next door had closed. He said the bandits must have known there was an elderly couple and that they could have accessed the house from through the window.
No one was arrested yesterday, but the couple’s son, Robin, said one the thieves cut himself on the window while fleeing and another left fingerprints on one of the louvres. He said he hopes the police can trace the evidence left behind. Relatives who gathered at the home said they were afraid that the thieves might return, however, so they were making arrangement to install burglar-proofed windows. Despite this, Paltoo said: “I have a different view on these things. I say that when it is my time to die, it is my time.
“I am not afraid to die. I am 81 now, I have already done everything.

The setting of the image could not have been more perfect and saw Madi posed on the back of an ATV in an area that was surrounded by rolling greenery and a sprawling mountain range. As her geotag indicated, Madi was in the Los Angeles area, where she has been spending a ton of time. She stood up on the forest green Yamaha that had massive black tires and a metal trunk on the back. Madi leaned her arms on the handlebars in front of her as she looked off into the distance and flaunted her killer figure in a skimpy string bikini.
Madi opted for a simple black suit that hugged her in all the right places. Her arm covered the majority of the suit’s top, but a sliver of its triangular fabric could be seen behind her arm. Its straps stretched out behind her back, and the material was tied together in a bow. The model’s toned arms and shoulders were fully visible in the post, and so were her trim abs.
On her lower half, Madi showed just as much skin while clad in bottoms that tied on the sides and rested high on her hips. The cut of the garment allowed her toned legs and pert derriere to be seen in its entirety while its thin waistband drew attention to her fit figure. Her long ombre-dyed locks appeared to be slightly wet and spilled well past her shoulders.
It did not appear as though the Aussie babe added any additional accessories to her look, and Madi’s gorgeous face was not able to be seen because of the angle in which she was posed.
It comes as no surprise that the blond babe’s photo has caught the eye of many fans. Madi’s eager audience has already double-tapped the picture over 16,000 times and flooded the comments section with over 110 compliments.
“Beautiful and fine. Like that four wheeler,” one follower commented.
“Such a pretty look! We would love to collab with you Madi! DM us,” an online boutique suggested alongside a few red hearts.
“Ride Or Die! Do you ever not look amazing I am so jealous,” a third social media user wrote.
“You look amazing babe,” one more added. | <urn:uuid:836de12f-c8bc-4f1f-9e1b-989bf8759973> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.inquisitr.com/6078873/madi-edwards-atv-bikini/ | 2020-10-25T02:56:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107885126.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20201025012538-20201025042538-00657.warc.gz | en | 0.977757 | 532 |

Writing Git Hooks Using Python
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Since git hooks can be any executable script with an appropriate #! line, Python is more than suitable for writing your git hooks. Simply stated, git hooks are scripts which are called at different points of time in the life cycle of working with your git repository.
Let’s start by creating a new git repository:
~/work> git init git-hooks-exp Initialized empty Git repository in /home/gene/work/git-hooks-exp/.git/ ~/work> cd git-hooks-exp/ ~/work/git-hooks-exp (master)> tree -al .git/ .git/ ├── branches ├── config ├── description ├── HEAD ├── hooks │ ├── applypatch-msg.sample │ ├── commit-msg.sample │ ├── post-update.sample │ ├── pre-applypatch.sample │ ├── pre-commit.sample │ ├── prepare-commit-msg.sample │ ├── pre-rebase.sample │ └── update.sample ├── info │ └── exclude ├── objects │ ├── info │ └── pack └── refs ├── heads └── tags 9 directories, 12 files
.git are a number of directories and files, one of them being
hooks/ which is where the hooks live. By default, you will have a number of hooks with the file names ending in .sample. They may be useful as starting points for your own scripts. However, since they all have an extension .sample, none of the hooks are actually activated. For a hook to be activated, it must have the right file name and it should be executable. Let’s see how we can write a hook using Python.
We will write a post-commit hook. This hook is called immediately after you have made a commit. We are going to do something fairly useless, but quite interesting in this hook. We will take the commit SHA1 of this commit, and print how it may look like in a more human form. I do the latter using the humanhash module. You will need to have it installed.
Here is how the hook looks like:
#!/usr/bin/python import subprocess import humanhash # get the last commit SHA and print it after humanizing it # https://github.com/zacharyvoase/humanhash print humanhash.humanize( subprocess.check_output( ['git','rev-parse','HEAD']))
I use the
subprocess.check_output() function to execute the command
git rev-parse HEAD so that I can get the commit SHA1 and then call the
humanhash.humanize() function with it.
Save the hook as a file, post-commit in your hooks/ directory and make it executable using
chmod +x .git/hooks/post-commit. Let’s see the hook in action:
~/work/git-hooks-exp (master)> touch file ~/work/git-hooks-exp (master)> git add file ~/work/git-hooks-exp (master)> git commit -m "Added a file" carbon-network-connecticut-equal [master (root-commit) 2d7880b] Added a file 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 file
The commit SHA1 for the commit turned out to be
2d7880be746a1c1e75844fc1aa161e2b8d955427. Let’s check it with the humanize function and check if we get the same message as above:
>>> humanhash.humanize('2d7880be746a1c1e75844fc1aa161e2b8d955427') 'carbon-network-connecticut-equal'
And you can see the same message above as well. For some of the hooks, you will see that they are called with some parameters. In Python you can access them using the
sys.argv attribute from the
sys module, with the first member being the name of the hook of course and the others will be the parameters that the hook is called with.

Commercial estate agents’ Gross Value Added, a metric of economic productivity, will be hit by 35% due to the COVID-19-induced lockdown, PwC analysis shows.
This is partially due to decreased rent collection.
Just 60% of commercial real estate rents were collected in March, leading to cash flow implications for landlords struggling to meet operating costs and honour financial commitments to banks and investors.
Another fall in collected rent is expected at the end of June.
Angus Johnston, real estate leader at PwC said: “The real estate sector undoubtedly faces some substantial short- and long-term challenges from COVID-19, simply because of its exposure to almost every other industry that has proved vulnerable to the pandemic. Consequently, we are seeing a variety of long-held assumptions being challenged.
“Decision-makers must remain rational and strategically minded. Cost-saving measures should be a constant priority as a means of staying liquid, and executives must consider every option for shoring up capital.
“In relation to standard and remote working conditions, 22% of workers directly employed in the real estate industry normally come into physically close contact with more than 20 fellow workers and 42% of real estate workers can work from home, PwC research finds.”
To help get through these difficult times PwC recommended enhancing partnerships between landlord and tenants, as well as repurposing single-use real estate.
Over the longer term, COVID-19 may well accelerate moves towards a radical rethink on commercial real estate such as greater reliance on regional hubs and ‘reverse urbanisation’.
Since the pandemic has led to radical shifts in working practices from the likes of financial services companies, which in normal circumstances would have taken years, PwC said demand for bricks and mortar office space could shrink by 25-30% as remote working moves closer towards being the norm.
PwC has seen a significant increase among occupiers and landlords going to the negotiation table to manage short and medium term cashflow issues resulting from Covid-19.
In particular, occupiers and landlords are considering innovative options to manage overheads. Key focus areas include: rent deferral, use of rental deposits; move to monthly, turnover rents, rent reductions and even regears. However, tenants must consider how long it may take to pay back any arrears accumulated as part of rent deferrals and the associated impact on their finances.
Landlords are considering how they address the running costs of buildings – electricity, air conditioning, lifts for example – given that they still need to pay these overheads while properties are vacant.
Johnston addd: “The next big milestone is hoving into view. From a corporate reporting perspective, there are a number of real estate companies with 31 March year-ends. Companies have the added challenge of accounting for the impact of falls in rental revenues and an expected drop in asset valuations alongside tricky lease accounting requirements.
“Businesses must not lose sight of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, even as they grapple with their financial survival. Additionally, societal shifts in response to COVID-19 will continue to heap stakeholder pressure on landlords to commit to sustainability goals.”

5 Hidden Health Dangers the FDA Doesn't Want You to Know About
These days anything labeled as “natural” or “organic” is a marketing goldmine. From natural skin care products to natural fruit juice, the word is tossed about in marketing circles and then delivered to trusting consumers like manna from heaven.
But what does “natural” mean, exactly?
In many instances, not much. And if you think cosmeceutical companies aren’t walking the straight and narrow when it comes to their claims, guess what? You’re right. When it comes to FDA regulation, the word “natural” doesn’t even have a legal definition. But you and I both know what consumers are thinking. In the back of our minds, if something is natural or organic, then it must be healthy and safe, right?
Not so. Especially when it comes to skin care.
So, who’s looking out for you?
You may not know this, but government agencies like the FDA do not regulate the skin care industry. There is no accountability for what they actually put into their lotions and creams. The sobering reality is the FDA doesn’t have the power to circumvent the deliverance of dangerous skin care products into consumer’s faithful hands. It’s true.
What that means to you is the expensive lotions and potions you carefully rub into your skin each night could very well contain chemicals that are robbing you of your good health – and even accelerating the aging process.
5 Hidden Dangers That May Be Lurking In Your Skin Care
It’s important to note that natural skin care products are not created equal. While it’s true that some are very good, others are a toxic soup of hazardous additives. And though the natural cosmetic industry has differing opinions as to what is safe and what is not, there is a general consensus that several are potentially dangerous.
Why even take the risk? When shopping for a natural skin care product, you should look for those that do not contain the following ingredients:
Parabens – Parabens are a group of anti-microbial chemicals that are toxic and can cause skin rashes. That’s bad enough but it doesn’t stop there. Since parabens mimic estrogen, they may increase the risk of breast cancer. These chemicals have actually been found in the tissues of some breast cancer patients.
Synthetic fragrances – Not only are synthetic fragrances known allergens, they’ve been known to trigger asthma attacks and migraines.
Sodium lauryl sulfate – Found in shampoos, cleansing gels, and bubble baths, sodium lauryl sulfate is a corrosive cleansing agent that can strip the protective agents from the skin. It can penetrate vital organs such as the eyes, liver, heart and brain causing a host of complications.
Synthetic colorants – Known to cause a slew of health problems ranging from skin rashes to nervous system disorders and even cancer.
Petroleum ingredients – Skin care products containing mineral oil can block pores and cause acne. Some also contain known carcinogens.
Pretty frightening when you think about it, right? But don’t get too alarmed just yet. The good news is it is possible to find 100% natural skin care products that are completely free of harmful toxic ingredients. That means no harm to your skin over the long term. That’s extremely important because skin is incredible porous and absorbs much of what is put on to it – the good and the bad.
If you’re looking for a natural skin care product line that is not only safe and natural but actually regenerates and protects your skin continuously, make sure you understand what you’re reading on the labels. Don’t leave youthful looking skin – and your health – to chance. | <urn:uuid:51f1626a-f674-4c93-a439-ef7c72219034> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.insidershealth.com/article/5_hidden_health_dangers_the_fda_doesn_t_want_you_to_know_about/4141 | 2015-01-27T08:20:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115862141.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161102-00251-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.94308 | 808 |
I am so excited to share my Day 5 painting with you all because after struggling the past couple days with the palette knife, I feel like I finally have a painting worthy of sharing.
Floral Tea 8x10 oil on canvas sheet
You guys, I really needed this day. I'm feeling encouraged like, "Hey, maybe I can do this." I decided to take a different approach with today's painting, and I put together a still life that had more going on than just a close up of tulips. This is what I needed to help me get my focus off of the small details and onto the painting as a whole.
I did a lot of squinting (I may or may not still be squinting, haha) and focusing on shape and values. I didn't worry about every petal of the flowers or vein in the leaves. It felt so free, and in return I have a loose painterly still life that I'm pretty happy with.

Center For Culture and Arts-A A +A
My Palm Notes
Saturday, February 1, 2014
NOBODY owns the title, yet.
Yep, no particular city, town, province has ever been designated as the center of arts and culture in the Philippines. This, as far as renowned master choreographer and artist par excellance Douglas Nierras could recall.
Mabalacat City could emerge and make a rightful claim, given its string of activities and victories in cultural presentations and artistic performances. If I must say it as early as now, Douglas Nierras sees the potential of Mabalacat through the passion shown and expressed by its people and leaders towards arts and culture.
Actually, he made mention of the vacant title when Mayor Boking and June Magbalot, prime mover of arts and cultural programs in Mabalacat, expressed hope that the city would try to achieve becoming a center for such in Pampanga and Central Luzon.
“That title is not owned yet by any place in the country as far as I could remember,” Nierras told Mabalacat officials and teachers who attended his three-day choreography clinic at Xevera.
Director and composer Andy Alviz who was quoted by Mayor Marino Morales to have uttered this only recently share the same observation.
You see, MabalacatCity which represented Pampanga, recently emerged as the national champion for second straight year in the Dulansangan, a street- and free-dance competition in the Fiesta Republika, an annual event in Malolos City organized by Mayor Christian Natividad. The activity commemorates the declaration of the very first Philippine republic.
Pampanga’s 10-minute dance interpretation on the stage included an elaborate choreography, real-life costumes, and 30-feet props where Aetas, clad in their red lion clothes, climbed, crawled and danced. On the streets of Malolos, hundreds of people cheered for Mabalacatcontigent, picking them up as hands down winners.
The 200-strong delegation has the Power Mabalacat City Center of Culture and Arts (PMCCA) in its very core. They served as the lead dancers. This group, under the tutelage of June, underwent a nine-day rigorous training conducted also by Douglas Nierras Power Dance (DNPD). Two PMCCA members Carl Reyes and Carl Ursal, in return, with overall direction from June, served as the lead choreographers for the winning presentation number in Malolos.
Douglas Nierras and his team of about 15 dancers were recently in Mabalacat for that choreography clinic.
I tell you, it is not so often that someone (whether from the province or even in huge cities) would be able to get a booking with DNPD. That is not the case with this man who gets invited to perform all over the globe and in various Philippine cities throughout the year.
I tell you too that despite Douglas being known as “terror” mentor (as seen in the TV show Starstruck), the teachers painstakingly but gladly stayed for the three-day workshop that ate up their weekends and late nights.
Such time could have been spent with their families but I think they did not mind the little sacrifice with the benefit of being tutored and receiving a certificate from a multi-awarded artist like Douglas.
And this is one reason why he has agreed to conduct dance workshop again in Mabalacat. He sees the passion for culture and arts shown in its people.
By the way, this second workshop in two years is in preparation of Caragan Festival that is set on February 28. The event is in honor of aeta ancestry of the town as led by Chieftain Caragan during the olden days.
With the victory in Malolos and the devotion of PMCCA to their craft and the city, Vice Mayor Christian Halili told this writer that the City Council has adopted resolution that recognizes and commends this group which is made up of dedicated individuals.
Also, the City Council has also approved a resolution making Douglas Nierras as an adopted son of Mabalacat City.
Aside from Caragan Festival, Dulansangan and all that comes in between, the northernmost Pampanga town is known for staging the most elaborate and grandiose annual pageant in Miss Mabalacat City.
On February 1, it will stage a carefully planned pageant that will depict the story of a village girl who will become a princess. A 9 by 32 giant LED wall that will project media interactivity between 3D animation and live actors and performers on stage will complement it.
Not to forget of course are the 14 lovely ladies who will vie for the coveted crown.
Fiesta Republika, an annual cultural event, was organized by this city’s Mayor Christian Natividad to make aware the Filipinos about the significance of the declaration of the first Philippine Republic here on January 23, 1899.
Mayor Natividad has been staging this event as part of his advocacy to continue to inculcate in today’s youth the role of Malolos Republic in shaping the nation’s history. He has also been pushing since 2010 the Aquino government and both houses of Congress to declare January 23 a national holiday to honor then President Emilio Aguinaldo’s declaration of the Malolos Republic at the Barasoain Church here.
I think it makes a lot of sense to make January 23 a national holiday, given its significance in our nation’s history and cultural heritage.
Published in the Sun.Star Pampanga newspaper on February 01, 2014. | <urn:uuid:fffc6cc1-f6ad-4db9-baf1-c2d1d152dd97> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.sunstar.com.ph/pampanga/opinion/2014/02/01/tulabut-center-culture-and-arts-326147 | 2014-04-20T23:29:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609539337.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005219-00551-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971288 | 1,187 |
Philly’s newest pizzeria is run by a company that does hospitality so well, their restaurants get accolades despite being a side gig.
The Asbury Park and Jersey City locations of Porta, which soft-opened a Philadelphia outpost in late December at 1214 Chestnut St., have scored big. An “excellent” rating from the New York Times. A best pizza in the country nod from Tasting Table. One of the best brunches in America per the Food Network.
What makes the concept so successful? And does Philly, where options for Neapolitan-style pizza have exploded over the past decade, really need another place for wood-fired pies?
Per Mark Hinchliffe, a junior partner at Smith, Porta’s parent company, the answer is yes.
“It’s our take,” he said, standing in the middle of one side of the bisected restaurant space, surrounded by a whirlwind of activity as workers hurried to complete the two halves of the interior (one all white, one filled with reclaimed wood) in time for the next day’s soft launch.
On its surface, the Porta “take” seems similar to other Philly Neapolitan-style pizzerias.
Brick ovens built in Naples and mozzarella made in house? Brigantessa has both of those. Nothing but San Marzano tomatoes in the sauce and flour imported from Italy in the dough? Medusa follows the same schedule. Pies that cook in 90 seconds or less? Same as at Capofitto and Pizzeria Vetri and Stella and Zavino and Nomad and…
Porta’s pricing is unquestionably fair: Hinchliffe estimated a family of four could dine for $50 total; the priciest pie on the menu is $17.
The pizza-salad-pasta offerings are inclusive, with choices that are vegan and gluten-free. On the beverage side, there’s decent beer offerings — although macros are given top billing, a not-very-Philly way to arrange a drink list — plus inexpensive cocktails and a wide variety of wines.
So far, not very groundbreaking. The locale was not a given, since that particular stretch of Chestnut, despite being right around the corner from buzzy Midtown Village, has remained relatively quiet up to now. Indeed, that was one of its selling points.
“We were originally looking at Fishtown,” Hinchliffe said, but then the former Cella Luxuria furniture store space popped up. “We liked that this street had a feel that it was yet to be finished.”
But the bigger contribution Hinchliffe and his partners hope Porta (and the forthcoming Brickwall Tavern, which will open right behind it later this year) can offer is the overall “brand experience.”
Smith restaurants don’t just exist to churn out consumables. They exist to make people happy — both the customers and the proprietors.
Currently, Smith operates nine restaurants under five brand names. Brickwall Tavern in Asbury Park was the very first, and the only reason it exists, Hinchliffe said, is because “we wanted a cool place near our office for happy hour. So we opened one.”
Creating something out of nothing is core to the company’s ideology.
Smith started life as a printing firm, launched by founder Meg Brunette in 1990. She moved the business to Asbury Park and added new partners, and the company moved into branding and design. Then it morphed into something more.
Brunette and her growing cadre of partners realized if they were going to put their heart and soul into creating the look, feel and messaging of the product — well, then they might as well own that product.
They wanted a cool bar to hang out, so they built one, even though they had no real experience in the restaurant biz. It was a success, so they built another. And another. And so on. (This is comparable to what happened with Philly’s Quaker City Mercantile.) Smith also now owns and operates an Asbury Park condo development.
Along the way Smith realized it had something else to offer: insight into how it was able to reinvent itself. Another brand was born, a leadership development business called Fishbird.
Fishbird, Hinchliffe explained, is now the company linchpin. “It’s our core philosophy.”
It’s not a consulting firm, he maintains, even though it counts among its clients Fortune 500 companies including Virgin Mobile, Johnson & Johnson and the Wall Street Journal. “We don’t tell people what to do,” he said. “We get the people you’re already paying to live up to their full potential.”
What does that have to do with restaurants? Essentially, it means Smith is not in it to make a buck — “There’s plenty of things you can do to make money, opening restaurants is not one of them” — but to provide a great experience.
And the team is thrilled to be expanding to Philadelphia, which Hinchliffe said was chosen over New York because of its “underdog nature.”
“It’s really nice to be here,” Hinchliffe said. “It’s an honor to be part of the Philly restaurant scene.” | <urn:uuid:1668f88d-21e6-41bd-b55f-328ef29f9660> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://billypenn.com/2018/01/02/porta-phillys-newest-pizzeria-is-based-on-a-fortune-500-model/ | 2018-09-22T01:50:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267158001.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20180922005340-20180922025740-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.96242 | 1,154 |

This year’s Strictly final, Christmas special and other shows, including Sports Personality of the Year, are at risk as three major unions begin balloting their BBC members over 24-hour strikes. The move is in response to the corporation’s salary and redundancy plans under the Delivering Quality First initiative.
“DQF threatens fundamental and far-reaching changes for all BBC staff,” said Bectu’s Gerry Morrissey. “Without a change to the BBC’s position, we are under no illusions that a vote for strike action will mark the start of a programme of industrial action which could affect the highlights of the BBC’s autumn/winter schedule, including the Strictly Come Dancing finals and the Sports Personality of the Year awards.”
The aim of DQF is to reduce costs for the BBC in light of a freeze on the licence fee. The main issues concerning unions are redundancy settlements and alterations to the current system for people – such as news staff – whose working hours change at short notice.
Lucy Adams, BBC Director of Business Operations, said: “Last week we met with the joint unions for the first time following the announcement of the DQF conclusions. We are fully committed to a constructive dialogue with the unions about flexibility allowances and our pay and grading structure. However, we are at the earliest stage of talking these proposals through with our staff and have not even begun formal consultation with the trade unions.”
The three unions involved – Bectu, the National Union of Journalists and Unite – are to ask members about strike action. The ballot is due to close on 24 November and if there are to be strikes, they could begin from early December.
No December schedules have been published yet but Strictly Come Dancing’s current series should air its last three live shows on Saturdays from 3 to 17 December. Strictly Come Dancing – It Takes Two is due to air ten editions in December.
The Christmas special is potentially at risk, too: traditionally it airs on Christmas Day, but is recorded in the week before the main show’s finale, which means there’s little room for it to be rescheduled. Filming could be moved to after the series ends, but that would mean new contracts for everyone and the risk that key people are no longer available.
The BBC Trust is running a public consultation about the DQF proposals. | <urn:uuid:7d7f623c-32dd-469b-8d48-de19f6db9f68> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.radiotimes.com/news/strike-threat-to-strictly-come-dancing-final/ | 2021-03-07T14:36:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178377821.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307135518-20210307165518-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.950879 | 505 |

The Name Of This Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Flavor May Have Inadvertently Revealed Classified Information About Area 51 (Day 2)
I literally opened my drafts folder and this was just sitting in there. No text. No context.No explanation. Just this title. I wish I could explain this to you, but I can't. My mind... is just too powerful.
Today I'm wearing pants in bed because I thought if I wore pants it would help me sit down and concentrate, but I didn't want to sit at my desk because then I'd get distracted by my Switch. And technically it is working. It could have something to do with how deeply uncomfortable I am because the pants are far tighter than any pair of pants have the right to be. And not in good places either. Not in butt places. It's tight, like, right in the leg elbow. So that it feels like someone is always stretching rubber bands on the backs of your knees just 24/7. It's incredibly ouch, but also, like, super good at getting me to abide by my own schedule.
The one thing that really hurts for me, personally, is that I'm not the kind of person that can just listen to music or ambient sounds in order to help myself write. Because then I'd be unstoppable. I could make any writing schedule for myself and stick to it if that were the case. But no. I'm terrible at mentally multi-tasking, so as soon as I start listening to anything the entire rest of my bodily functions just shut down. I can't even watch a good TV show while eating for that same reason. I'm either eating, or I'm watching. Not both. Never both.
I know what you're thinking. "HA! Does that mean you can't chew gum and walk at the same time?" And the answer is I haven't tried, because I would never put anyone through the trauma of listening to me chew gum in public. When I have gum in my mouth I'm a monster. One time I accidentally chewed a piece of Orbit in front of my co-worker while I was on break and he asked me if everything was okay, because the sheer SPEED and FEROCITY with which I was attacking the gum in my mouth was scaring him.
There's no end to this post because there was never any beginning. That's art. So I'm going to go order delivery and play 13 hours of Rimworld. Pantsless, thank you very much. Because I'll be off the clock.

Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor, the hit pair from ABCD 2 will once again be seen together in a special song for the film Nawabzaade, directed by Jayesh Pradhan and presented by Bhushan Kumar and Remo D’Souza. High Rated Gabru, the Punjabi number, sung by Guru Randhawa has already crossed 205 million views on YouTube.
Choreographer Remo D’Souza has recreated the song in a Mumbai studio. The film’s cast includes the actors from ABCD 2, Dharmesh Yelande, Raghav Juyal and Punit Pathak.
Speaking of being part of this special song, Varun informed:
“Having worked with Raghav, Punit, and Dharmesh, I know them to be very talented boys. When I heard Remo sir and Bhushanji were doing a film with them I knew I had to be part of it in some way. So when this song came up, Shraddha and I decided to feature in this special video. It was a lot of fun, sharing screen space with Shraddha again. We are very comfortable with each other and High Rated Gabru is already a chartbuster.”
Shraddha too did not want to miss the opportunity of reuniting with the ABCD 2 team.
“I was all charged to work again with Bhushanji, Remo sir, Varun and a few others from the ABCD 2 gang. When I got to know that we are going to be shooting a video for High Rated Gabru, I got even more excited because the song is fantastic and so loved. The whole experience of shooting it was fun. I felt nostalgic.”
Producer Bhushan Kumar adds:
“Both Varun and Shraddha had developed a fantastic camaraderie with the actors of ABCD 2. So it was not surprising that they agreed to be part of this video instantly.”
Remo D’Souza who has choreographed the special video maintains:
“Sometimes things just magically fall into place. It was heartening to see that Bhushan, Varun, and Shraddha were most forthcoming to give what it takes to make this number extraordinary. I am glad we could do this for my protégés from ABCD2. I am sure the song will help to create a buzz around Nawabzaade.” | <urn:uuid:0901ba4d-767a-4cc4-9766-717cb982c654> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://urbanasian.com/entertainment/2017/12/varun-dhawan-shraddha-kapoor-shake-leg-together-high-rated-gabru/ | 2020-12-02T19:13:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141715252.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20201202175113-20201202205113-00517.warc.gz | en | 0.97521 | 529 |

Tbilisi has announced it will sever all diplomatic ties with Moscow within the next 24 hours. All Georgian diplomats will be recalled from Russia on Saturday, according to the country’s Deputy Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze. Earlier, its parliament declared that all Russian troops in the conflict zone were ‘occupiers’.
Vashadze also said that Russian diplomats should leave Georgia.
Russia has expressed deep regret at the decision. Andrey Nesterenko, a spokesperson for the country’s Foreign Ministry, said: “It’s not the choice of Russia. And the responsibility will rest with Georgia.”
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
But the Ministry has not received an official confirmation of the Georgian decision to break off diplomatic relations.
The Georgian Consulate, however, will continue operating in Russia, the Georgian Foreign Ministry said.
“This decision does not mean that, for instance, contacts between the two countries’ foreign ministries will be severed completely,” said Vashadze. “Such meetings are possible on territories of third countries.”
The resolution issued by the parliament said all military units, except those allowed by the Georgian constitution, are illegal. Thursday’s sitting of parliament instructed the country’s government to sever diplomatic relations with Russia.
Earlier this week, Tbilisi recalled most of its embassy staff from Moscow.
The parliament has also called on the government to cancel all agreements which allow Russian peacekeepers to remain in the disputed republics. These include the UN-backed ceasefire deals of the 1990s.
The Georgian military launched an attack against South Ossetia on August 8, 2008.
Shortly afterwards, Russia called an emergency session of the UN Security Council in an attempt to end the Georgian aggression, but it didn’t bring any results.
Taking into consideration that many in South Ossetia had Russian passports, President Dmitry Medvedev ordered elements of Russia’s 58th Army to enter the conflict zone – the move Georgia called an invasion.

After watching the video below I feel more like Hillary Clinton should have been jailed a long time ago. There has been too much said against her for all of it to be just rumors. She also has proven herself to be a liar. Landing under sniper fire in the former Yugoslavia when it was proven that there wasn’t any sniper fire. This woman is not to be believed in anything she says. I find her to be a compulsive liar given everything that has been reported and contradicted by others either by video or just audio. How can a person like that be allowed to run for the presidency? | <urn:uuid:a6a1243a-1a11-4cf7-aaee-0eb4d3299b6e> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://bobjsrants.blogspot.com/2016/06/hillary-clinton-and-kkk.html | 2017-09-23T13:02:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689661.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20170923123156-20170923143156-00058.warc.gz | en | 0.984824 | 121 |

TastEd Receives Extremely Generous Donation of £100,000 from The Jane Goodman TrustFran
If I had to choose just one word to describe my friend Jane Goodman, it would be ‘generous’. If you gave me two words to describe her instead of one, I would go for ‘extremely generous’.
Jane Goodman lived and worked in Islington. She was a paediatric dental specialist. She loved working with children and had an amazing rapport with them, and quickly put them at ease at the Eastman Dental Hospital. But she did so much more than that both at work and outside. She loved life and particularly enjoyed strong friendships with people from all walks of life. Her favourite way of socialising was round a table enjoying a wide range of food. And this generosity has continued after her death with the work of The Jane Goodman Trust established as her legacy.
The Trustees of TastEd recently learned that The Jane Goodman Trust had made a £100,000 donation to support our mission to give as many children as possible the chance to experience the joy of fresh vegetables and fruits. This grant will be nothing short of life-changing for us as a small and young charity. Again, the words that spring to mind are ‘extremely generous’.
This donation will help us to support the rollout of the TastEd programme in schools and early years settings across the whole borough of Islington. Hundreds of children in dozens of schools and nurseries will benefit from this.
Remembering her natural generosity and her vocation for improving child health, I’m confident Jane would have been so pleased that the donation from her trust will be used to help as many children as possible to experience the joy of talking about food, food preferences and memories. She would also have appreciated the inclusive nature of TastEd lessons. As with Jane’s dinner table, the TastEd classroom is a welcoming place. The pleasures of sharing, tasting, expressing delight (or disgust), bringing their own stories will reach many more children thanks to this donation. She would also be pleased that we focus on fresh vegetables and fruit and having fun.
The benefits of this donation to TastEd will stretch far beyond Islington. We are rapidly expanding and are now in over 170 schools and nurseries. The donation will help us to provide support to schools, providing some vegetables and fruit, resources and increasing the staff at TastEd to help us keep pace with our rapid expansion to more schools across the UK. Thank you to Jane for being so generous and to the trustees of The Jane Goodman Trust who have the confidence in us to use her donation wisely. Generous. Extremely generous.

On Friday, March 13, 2009, the NAACP sued HSBC and Wells Fargo alleging that these lenders forced African Americans into subprime mortgages while whites with identical qualifications got loans on more favorable terms (the “NAACP Lawsuits”). The original complaints in the NAACP Lawsuits are available at http://www.naacp.org.
Such claims are commonly referred to as “reverse redlining.” Redlining is the practice of denying credit to specific geographic areas based on the income, race, or ethnicity of its residents. Reverse-redlining, on the other hand, occurs where a lender unlawfully discriminates by extending credit to a neighborhood or class of people on terms less favorable than would have been extended to people outside the particular class at issue.
The NAACP Lawsuits allege that HSBC and Wells Fargo violated the Fair Housing Act, 42 USC § 3601, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 15 USC § 1691, and the Civil Rights Act, 42 USC §§ 1981, 1982. Specifically, the NAACP Lawsuits allege that HSBC and Wells Fargo “engaged in institutionalized, systematic racism” in connection with the sale of residential mortgage loans to members of the NAACP. The NAACP Lawsuits further allege that the “pervasiveness of this discrimination has been documented in numerous empirical studies that all confirm that African Americans are substantially more likely to receive higher-rate residential mortgage loans than Caucasian borrowers with the same qualifications.” The NAACP Lawsuits do not seek an award of damages. Instead, the complaints seek various injunctive and declaratory relief barring HSBC and Wells Fargo from continuing their alleged “predatory behavior.”
Counsel for lenders should be aware of claims based on discriminatory lending practices under federal law and, frequently, parallel state law equivalents. At the outset of any litigation, counsel for lenders should analyze the lender’s sales policies and procedures manuals and the lenders’ HMDA data. HMDA, or the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requires financial institutions to maintain and annually disclose data about home purchases, home purchase pre-approvals, home improvement, and refinance applications involving 1 to 4 unit and multifamily dwellings. HMDA was passed to identify discriminatory lending practices by, among other things, requiring lenders to keep records concerning the race of their customers and applicants and the lending decisions they make.

DUBAI: People around the world have been protesting in major cities demanding justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and the other black Americans who have been victims of police brutality.
The streets of New York, Los Angeles, London, Toronto, Paris and more have witnessed, over the past few days, celebrities and influencers stand together in solidarity with the black community.
Meanwhile, other stars have taken to their social media platforms to demand justice and draw attention to various organizations which help low-income protesters pay bail or donation pages that directly benefit the family members of the victims.
American-Iraqi entrepreneur Huda Kattan has taken to Instagram this week to announce that her cosmetics brand, Huda Beauty, will donate $500,000 to the NAACP Legal Defence Fund, a civil and human rights organization that provides legal assistance to low-income African Americans.
“At Huda Beauty we stand against racism today and always. In solidarity with the black community and the Black Lives Matter movement, we are pausing our regular content,” she wrote to her 44.3 million followers.
“Now is a time to listen, learn and reflect. We are joining in the fight against systemic racism, and we encourage those who aren’t familiar with the Black Lives Matter movement to educate themselves and take action,” the Dubai-based beauty mogul wrote before quoting American political activist Angela Davis: “In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.”
Kattan established her beauty brand in 2013 with her sisters, Mona and Alia Kattan, and her husband Christopher Goncalo. Earlier this year, the 36-year-old makeup artist launched a skincare brand, Wishful Skin, that has so far released three “life-changing” products.
To celebrate black voices, she promised that her team will be posting a “black out” across her brands’ channels. “We stand for equality and while today we are making our voice heard in support of Black Lives Matter, we will continue to support all communities facing global injustices,” her post read.
Kattan is not the only celebrity to donate a hefty sum amid the George Floyd protests sweeping the US.
Earlier this week, Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively shared a joint statement on Instagram, revealing that they will donate $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defence Fund. | <urn:uuid:c37cbe4d-4b86-4e96-8e8a-8621d36fcaec> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.arabnews.com/node/1684016/lifestyle | 2022-11-27T01:52:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710155.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20221127005113-20221127035113-00733.warc.gz | en | 0.9355 | 515 |
18.4% discount all day on March 8th
for women only, to highlight the average pay gap discrepancy that women face in the workplace every day.
Female customers will be automatically given an 18.4% discount off their bill *
Reasons the 18.4% discount is being applied:
1. In the UK the gender pay gap means that women, on average, are paid around 18.4% less than men for doing the same job
2. 18.4% is the Government’s figure that includes salary information of all types of employee – both full-time and part-time
3. Women are much more likely to take part-time jobs to work around child-care, elder-care and running the home
4. Men typically tend to stay in full time employment and progress their career and their earning potential
5. Prime Burger want to highlight the issue of gender inequality and work towards ensuring that the pay gap in the UK is reduced and women in the work place are supported and valued

In the summers the makeup you put on your face is very likely to melt because of the heat. “Wait! Isn’t that the time I need it to stick the most?” If that’s your reaction then, well, you are very right. So let’s look at the solution. Melting makeup is not a pretty sight and therefore you will want to make sure that it does not happen. No matter the weather, you should look beautiful all the time. Unfortunately, the hot and humid weather is not very favorable to the makeup you wear. However, there are certain ways to make sure that your makeup remains intact even when it is hot and humid. Here are some of the ways listed.
What Type of Makeup Are You Wearing?
What type of makeup you are wearing is the first the first thing that decides whether it will melt or not. First of all, do not buy cheap makeup kits. Not only do they melt easily in the hot weather, they also damage your skin. You want your skin to stay safe and at the same time you will want to keep looking beautiful. The better the brand of the makeup the better will be your skin. The better the brand of the makeup the lesser it will melt. However, it does not mean that the makeup items of good brand do not melt. In fact, they do. During the summers, make sure that you are not wearing oil based makeup. Too much of oil during hot and humid weather conditions will produce more sweat and hence the makeup will be more prone to getting washed away. Many times the makeup doesn’t wash away completely but instead gets smudged and gives a bad look.
There Are Special Makeup Items For Summers
There are different types of makeup items for different weather conditions. For winters there are special types of makeup kits and for summers there are different ones. Make sure that you buy the one which is meant only for summers. They are designed in such a way that they are not affected by perspiration. In other words, they are waterproof. These special kits may cost you a little extra but they are worth their price.
Try And Not Wear Too Much Makeup
It is always a good idea to wear light makeup. If the makeup is light it will not get washed away quickly. Additionally, heavy makeup results in more perspiration. The more you will perspire the higher will be the chances of the makeup getting washed away. There are special makeup items which are meant for summer and humid conditions. But even those makeups when applied in excessive quantities can melt away.
Consult An Expert If You Are Not Sure
If you are not very sure what to do with your skin and makeup then you can also consult an expert or a beautician. The experts know more about your skin than you do. Some of the makeups are meant for special types of skins only. Some people have oily skin and during the humid conditions they perspire more than the others. Therefore, certain types of makeup items are not good for them. The expert will have a look at your skin and will determine which type of makeup is most suited for you. This will prevent the makeup from melting away.
Apply A Cleanser Before Applying Makeup
The melting of the makeup is not only the result of the hot weather and perspiration. The oil in the skin also plays an important role. Therefore, it is important to apply the cleanser before wearing the makeup. Cleanser will help remove all the oil and will clear the skin pores. But do make sure that the cleanser you use is labeled as ‘oil-preventing.’
Give The Foundation A Skip
Foundation is not really good for the hot weather. It can result in extra sweating which can further melt the makeup more. Apply the foundation when it is absolutely necessary. If you can do without foundations it will be better. If you cannot do without the foundation then make sure that you apply the primer to your face first. Primer will make sure that your face doesn’t sweat as much. | <urn:uuid:84029d35-cbcd-4d61-9e34-d0e577884bf8> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.howtogetrid.org/beauty/how-to-prevent-makeup-from-melting-in-hot-weather/ | 2019-08-19T09:40:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027314721.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190819093231-20190819115231-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.961468 | 837 |
HCG Drops vs HCG Injections: Cost ComparisonYou're smart to be concerned about the cost of the HCG diet plan. While some claim prescription HCG is the only way to go, they seldom point out its high cost. The newer products like homeopathic HCG and HCG replacement products are less expensive, but there are other considerations as well—things like support, shipping, and the quality of the guarantee you're getting (if you even get one).
There's a wide range of prices on HCG products, so it's tough to give specific numbers. It'll be easier to illustrate the basic differences by giving a few specific examples. The process of buying HCG products is different in each case, as is the cost.
HCG Injections from a Clinic
Gary goes in for a routine medical visit but gets some shocking and unpleasant news: he's got type 2 diabetes. His doctor says the best thing for him would to lose weight, and offers a coached HCG diet program. Gary figures it's better than counting calories, being hungry, and hundreds of hours of exercise it would take him to lose the weight normally—besides only taking seven weeks instead of a whole year.
The initial consultation costs him $150. He has to take an injection of prescription HCG every day for the whole seven weeks, costing $15 a piece. So far Gary's costs add up to about $800. His bank account is starting to look pretty empty. But then his smart and lovely wife reminds him of the costs of treating his diabetes—if he can get the diabetes under control, they'll save way more than $800 over the long run. Besides, once Gary loses the weight, he'll be trim and have a better quality of life.
How does $800 sound? It's actually a pretty conservative estimate compared to some doctors. You can easily get into the thousands depending on where you go. Luckily there's a cheaper way.
HCG Injections from the Web
Carrie has decided that she's had enough of being overweight, out of breath, and depressed about her body all the time. She's also had enough of those diet programs that offer the moon but don't deliver. Her friends have had such amazing success with the HCG diet—maybe it will work for her, too. Unfortunately, Carrie looks at her budget and she just doesn't have $800 to spend on an expensive clinic.
So she starts to look online for other options. She quickly realizes she can buy HCG online for a lot less than she would at a clinic. The down side is that most of these companies seem to get their HCG from out of the United States. Then she finds a US-based company that offers prescriptions over the phone. She'll talk with a licensed medical doctor on the phone who will make sure Carrie will be healthy on the diet, and the company will quickly mail the prescription HCG to Carrie's door. The doctor's consultation only costs $50, and the HCG supplies are just $80. Add in shipping and Carrie's only paying $200 for her HCG diet program.
That's sounds a lot better, doesn't it? Carrie saved $600 more than Gary just by purchasing her HCG online. If that deal sounds good to you, we'll suggest a good option at the end of this article.
But there's an even cheaper way, too.
HCG Drops from the Web
Allison has had two kids and definitely has some stubborn baby weight to lose. She's internet-savvy and quickly finds some information on homeopathic HCG drops—they're just as effective as prescription HCG but don't require the hassle of going through a doctor. Unfortunately, she then stumbles upon some disheartening information about the FDA banning homeopathic HCG. Is this route still worth looking into?
Allison decides to keep digging, reasoning that a couple hours of online research is worthwhile if it can save her a hundred dollars or more. She discovers that some companies are still selling homeopathic HCG illegally, and others have introduced some kind of replacement product. Many of them seem to be using homeopathic ingredients that aren't listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoiea of the United States (HPUS) and are therefore illegal. Others have just replaced HCG with some other dietary supplement, but that doesn't make any sense—they just don't do the same thing as HCG.
That's when Allison comes across a company selling a new product that uses ingredients specifically chosen to replicate the effect of HCG that are still listed in the HPUS. This company gets their product from an FDA-registered lab and offers unlimited phone and email support. They also offer free guidebooks and recipes plus a membership that gives discounts on future orders. On top of that, the company offers an amazing money-back guarantee. With free shipping, the product costs just under $100 for a full-length course of the HCG diet. Although it's a little more expensive than some of those less reputable companies, that guarantee seals the deal.
These examples should help demonstrate the difference between some of the options available to you. The numbers are only examples, and actual prices can vary a lot. But most products fall pretty close to these examples.
There's a lot to consider when looking HCG drops and injections. When looking at different options, don't forget to add in the hidden costs of shipping, support, quality, and the hassle of doctors and prescriptions. | <urn:uuid:7cfe73a2-ee10-41f3-931a-302ca0406709> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.hcgdietdrops.com/hcg-drops-cost-comparison.html | 2019-11-19T09:59:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670135.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119093744-20191119121744-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.97033 | 1,128 |

(LifeSiteNews.com) — A federal court Wednesday upheld Hawaii’s definition of marriage as one man and one woman, rejecting a lawsuit to tear down both the definition as well as Hawaii’s constitutional amendment giving the legislature the power to maintain it.
Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys defended the law and the amendment on behalf of Hawaii Family Forum, which the court allowed to intervene in the case in April.
“This ruling affirms that protecting and strengthening marriage as the union of one man and one woman is legitimate, reasonable, and good for society,” said Legal Counsel Dale Schowengerdt. “The people of Hawaii adopted a constitutional amendment to uphold marriage, and the court rightly concluded that the democratic process shouldn’t be short-circuited by judicial decree.”
The three individuals who filed the suit asked the court to declare the state’s constitutional amendment on marriage and the state’s law defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman unconstitutional. The lawsuit also assailed Hawaii’s “civil unions” law, which became effective Jan 1, saying that equal rights would only be fulfilled by redefining marriage itself.
Click “like” if you want to defend true marriage.
But in its order, the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii concluded, “Throughout history and societies, marriage has been connected with procreation and childrearing…. It follows that it is not beyond rational speculation to conclude that fundamentally altering the definition of marriage to include same-sex unions might result in undermining the societal understanding of the link between marriage, procreation, and family structure.”
“In this situation,” the court continued, “to suddenly constitutionalize the issue of same-sex marriage ‘would short-circuit’ the legislative actions that have been taking place in Hawaii…. Accordingly, because Hawaii’s marriage laws are rationally related to legitimate government interests, they do not violate the federal Constitution.”
Gov. Neil Abercrombie stated both publicly and in the lawsuit that he would not defend the state’s marriage law. His attacks on the law’s constitutionality prompted Hawaii Family Forum to ask the court to allow it to intervene in defense of marriage in the state. | <urn:uuid:98151177-7fed-4a47-93d2-9d64990a8298> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | https://stevescomments.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/hawaii-federal-judge-strikes-down-bid-to-redefine-marriage-in-court/ | 2016-05-03T06:49:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860118807.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161518-00003-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952143 | 479 |

Angela Merkel vows to fight snap election to retain power
German chancellor faces uncertain future after coalition talks collapse
German chancellor Angela Merkel has vowed to fight a snap election if necessary to secure a fourth term in office and end her country’s political crisis.
Dr Merkel faces an uncertain future after coalition talks collapsed on Sunday evening after almost five weeks – two months after Germany’s federal election. “If new elections were to come . . . I would accept that. I’m not afraid of anything,” Dr Merkel said on ZDF public television.
She had earlier on Monday held crisis talks with the president, Frank Walter Steinmeier. He will play a central role in the coming weeks and, ahead of talks with all political parties, said he expected “readiness to form a government in the near future”.
Ongoing instability in Berlin will cast a shadow over efforts to advance Brexit negotiations, likely to dominate next month’s EU leaders’ meeting, and French proposals to reform the euro zone.
Germany’s coalition crisis was felt on currency markets too, with the euro down 0.5 per cent against the dollar and 0.71 per cent against sterling.
Listen to World View
Dr Merkel led her centre-right CDU party to its worst election result in 68 years, forcing her into exploratory talks on an untested four-way alliance with the CDU’s Bavarian sister party, the CSU; the liberal FDP; and the centre-left Greens.
Hours after their collapse, the CDU leader said talks had been “on the home straight” for the “Jamaica” alliance, so-called because the would-be coalition partners’ colours matched the island’s flag. But FDP leader Christian Lindner, who walked out on Sunday evening, said his party’s “long-held doubts” about the alliance – in particular immigration, climate and fiscal policy – remained unaddressed.
A snap poll for ARD public television found that most Germans blamed the FDP for the end of the talks.
Almost two-thirds (63 per cent) of those polled favour fresh elections while just 29 per cent favour a minority CDU government.
Germany’s post-war Basic Law provides for no explicit timetable to form a new federal government. But, learning from the unstable Weimar years, high hurdles exist to dissolve parliament for fresh elections. This is possible if a president’s candidate for chancellor fails to secure an absolute or, two weeks later, a simple parliamentary majority.
The CDU leader said she was “very sceptical” about the prospects of a minority government, untested at federal level though successful in federal states. “I cannot say how things will develop,” said Dr Merkel, “but I think Germany, at heart, needs a stable government not one that has to find majorities for every decision.”
For now, she remains in office heading an acting government and will reach out to her outgoing junior coalition partner, the Social Democratic Party (SPD). After two terms as Dr Merkel’s junior partner, however, the SPD has ruled out a third alliance.
“If voters want to rate how Jamaica was driven against the wall, fresh elections are one option,” said Martin Schulz, the SPD leader.
Despite a series of political setbacks and tensions, dating back to the 2015-2016 refugee crisis and subsequent security fallout, there are no signs of a revolt in the CDU against the party’s leader. Even ambitious younger politicians, such as 38-year-old Jens Spahn, said Dr Merkel was “naturally the right chancellor in these times”. | <urn:uuid:da9ad9d5-ad6a-46b6-b647-2e5fe248e91d> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/angela-merkel-vows-to-fight-snap-election-to-retain-power-1.3299014 | 2019-04-23T04:23:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578586680.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190423035013-20190423061013-00257.warc.gz | en | 0.945635 | 780 |

Q. I have been gardening for 19 seasons. For the first time last year, I was swarmed with biting gnats that leave me with wounds that resemble small pox and itch like the dickens. I now have to wear a net on my head to work in the yard most days, especially when using my reel mower. I wondered if you had any similar observations from others. Thanks,
- ---Regina in Roxborough
Q. We have three acres in the country; one acre is a lawn we keep cut short; the rest is woods. We have a terrible time with gnats; they're driving us crazy, attacking us just about every time we go outside. I love where we live, but it's a real drag not being able to work in the garden or go for a stroll without long sleeves, long pants (in the summer!), hats and sunglasses.
- ---Nickie in Mercersburg, PA
Q. Is there any way to control gnats outdoors without killing beneficial insects and fish? Sometimes they take all the joy out of gardening.
- ---Jerry in Beulah, Michigan
The term 'outdoor gnat' can refer to a variety of different creatures, all in the fly family (as are mosquitoes). All breed in water; some in standing water like mosquitoes, and some in running water like the stream that flows right past our house. Some are relatively harmless, and a few are beneficial: pollinating flowers and attacking true pests. But the females of some types are blood-suckers—again, like mosquitoes. And the ones that bother ME the most are 'eye gnats'; tiny black midges attracted to the natural secretions that keep our eyes lubricated and healthy.
To cut their gnatty numbers, drain all standing water on your property. Don't forget those out-of-sight gutters; they are prime breeding sites. Treat standing water that can't be drained (like vernal pools and garden ponds) with BTI—this natural and non-toxic larvacide prevents the breeding of all flies that spawn in water (including mosquitoes) without harming anything else. It's available by mail order and at retail in donut-shaped 'dunks' and in granular form. Here in PA, the local EPA sprays a liquid form from helicopters into the nearby woods and streams to help keep blackfly numbers down.
Keep grass cut at the correct length for your area and keep it as dry as possible. If you water every day, you WILL have lots of gnats (and your plants will have short, sickly root systems). Keep brushy areas near your home well-mowed. Prune or remove plants to make sure lots of light gets in; a tangled shady jungle will breed gnats like mad.
When you want to sit outside in a non-screened area, direct an oscillating fan to keep the air moving away from you; their tiny wings can't fight past it. Place little jars of vinegar around to lure and trap them. Yellow sticky traps also work well.
Years ago, I tested a propane-powered mosquito trap. Early in the season the capture net was filled with black gnats, presumably the biting kind as they were lured to their death by carbon dioxide they thought I was exhaling. I loved emptying that net every day!
When working outdoors, wear clothing that you've treated with a .5% permethrin spray; see our previous articles on ticks for more info about these highly effective repellants. To keep gnats offa your face, wear a treated collared shirt with the collars pointed up and a treated fabric hat. And if they still go for your poor eyes, protect your face with one of the non-toxic mosquito repellants that medical studies have found to be as effective as the highly dangerous chemical repellant DEET: "Bite Blocker" (which Gardens Alive sells as "Sting Free") and 'Repel Lemon Eucalyptus'.
I would not call anyone crazy for wearing one of those veiled hats that uses a mosquito netting-type material to cover the face. I would call that person a little uncomfortable on hot days but otherwise blissfully happy.
Buy one of those pith helmets that has a built-in solar powered fan designed to give the wearer a cooling breeze. Maybe try turning the fan around if it doesn't otherwise blow them away. Wear yellow sticky traps on your hat to attract them to a colorful doom.
And finally, a listener once suggested tucking a few wild onion or wild garlic plants behind each ear when you're out weeding those otherwise aggravating little plants. Apparently, gnats are not fans of the strongly scented wild alliums. | <urn:uuid:93d59a87-c5cf-4406-be8d-670e1cae17b1> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.gardensalive.com/product/annoying-black-gnats?ai=1100 | 2014-11-01T06:56:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637904722.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025824-00180-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953569 | 981 |

Unlike the Macular Society video which I complained about in the previous post with cartoon character Gloria, this video features Shirley, a real person with AMD who lives independently, enjoys audio books, teaches a cookery class for people with a visual impairment (because she didn't want to eat processed food from the microwave). She uses a folding white stick called a 'thimble stick' I think, but not all the time. Mainly when she travels on the London Underground. (Yay! She travels on the London Underground!)
Shirley says the news of AMD was 'horrible'. I'd agree with that. But the choice of language - and I quote here from the Macular Society video - 'fear and devastation' 'terrible plight' and 'little hope' is very different in the RNIB video. Neither is Shirley surrounded by sad little figures in attitudes of despair.
It is worth remembering I think that the condition is not life threatening, though it is clearly life-style threatening
I want to support the Macular Society. They fund much of the research which I hope will find a cure for macular degeneration and other eye diseases.
My last blog post on the topic Seeing Red was forwarded by the local organiser of a Macular Society group to the Society and elicited a response from Graham Newham of the Society which you can read in the comments on that post. It is good to know my voice is being heard, and I do know mine is not the only dissenting one!

Clearly, based upon this and prior campaign mailings, Jindal is trying to claim the honors of being the conservative in a world of spendthrifts while there is not a real legitimate campaign contender in sight.
I know this is an election campaign, but some truth in advertising would be appreciated.
Here is what Jindal said in his campaign statement:
The difference is clear.
The politicians in Washington are playing a warped game of tax, spend and borrow to fulfill their vision of an ever-expanding government – a government with no limits and without accountability.
Like the stereotypical teenager with a credit card and a lack of appreciation for the hardworking folks who work for the money they spend, Washington politicians ran up the American people's "credit card" beyond fourteen trillion dollars.
Now, the responsible thing to do is to take the credit card away, implement serious lifestyle changes, and pay off the debt.
The problem with this common sense plan? Being responsible just isn't the Washington Way. Instead of recognizing that excessive government spending is at the root of our economic problems, Washington politicians say we must take on more debt to keep our old debt from strangling us.
All this absurdity comes with a price. Standard & Poor just downgraded the United States' credit rating for the first time in our history. And this is just the beginning…
Here in Louisiana we've taken a different approach. We balanced our budget, we cut government spending, and we returned more hard earned tax dollars to Louisiana businesses and families. When Standard & Poor's last issued its credit rating for Louisiana they noted our "strong financial management practices," and upgraded our rating to the highest level our state has received since 1984.
That is the difference between the liberal ways of Washington and the conservative approach we've taken here in Louisiana. Only in Washington is HOPE an economic strategy. America expects and deserves practical solutions from Washington, DC.
But, let’s look at a different perspective.
Last week, Bayoubuzz interviewed Louisiana Treasurer John Kennedy about the US debt and downgrade of the credit rating. Part of the interview focused upon the Louisiana budget and debt. Here is the following segment.
(Interviewer stated that he looked at a page on the Treasurer’s website and from that information it appeared that the legislature balanced the budget this past session but did so by extracting funds from various accounts and further balanced the budget by depending upon undefined “government efficiencies”. The Treasurer then said:)
Well they balanced this budget, Steve, with smoke and mirrors. I mean there was no fundamental reform done in terms of the budget. They took money from funds like the Artificial Reef Fund and the Louisiana Economic Development Mega Fund and spent it on Medicaid. They raised tuition. They took money from the State Group Benefits plan set aside to pay health claims of state employees and put that into the general budget.
They took 6,000 state employees in higher education off the books pretending that they don’t exist. They still exist and they are still being paid with state money, but they are just pretending that they don’t exist.
The total amount of actual cuts is about $400 million which is well less than 1% of the budget so they didn’t do anything about the numbers of state employees in a meaningful way. They didn’t do anything about the fact that 22% of our managers are managing one employee. They didn’t do anything about consulting contracts. They didn’t do anything about the 900,000 tax payer funded visits to emergency rooms that we will have this year for routine care. They didn’t do any fundamental change in terms of how we spend tax payer money and that means in my, yea, the budget’s balanced but balancing the budget is not the same thing as doing long term fiscal reform and that just means that we will continue to live paycheck to paycheck and sort of lurch along from budget crisis to budget crisis.
(Interviewer stated that he interviewed an expert (Truth in Accounting) who said that Louisiana had a debt problem owing over $16,000 per family or close to $21 billion for the entire state)
We’re worse in the South. We have more state debt, not state debt, I call it state liabilities, and I will explain why in a second. We have more per capita than California. And the reason is our pension system. Our pension system is woefully underfunded. Our actual state debt is right about in the middle of the pack but if you add in another type of liability which is a very real liability, your pension liability, and you add in the unfunded accrued liability, and your health insurance program, the numbers get run up very high.
I understand that Treasurer Kennedy’s comment did not specifically mention Governor Jindal.
However, in his many speeches and in his press materials, I do not recall Governor Jindal ever mentioning our enormous state debt—one of the very worse in the country (43rd). Why not?
For those with any memory, during the recent session, Jindal constantly fought with Republican Jim Tucker, the Speaker of the House over matters such as the budget. Just ask Tucker about all of the money his district lost over the past years due to what appears to be Jindal's payback for Tucker urging the Governor to tote the line on spending.
And, while the Governor might not have liked the budget, he signed it, just as President Obama signed the recent debt ceiling deal which outraged the liberals and the Tea Party crowd. You sign it, you own it.
His proposals of selling Louisiana properties have incurred the anger of liberals and conservatives for being unnecessary and costly.
According to most accounts, one of his major legislative endeavors, his doomed proposal to merge SUNO and UNO would have actually cost the state millions of dollars and was given a quick kick in the can.
His cigarette tax veto forced Republicans to take positions on the bill, not because they thought it was the right thing to do, but because they did not want a Republican Governor to be embarrassed by an override. Now, thanks to the Governor, our cigarette tax is 49th in the nation—more than a full dollar more than the national average. While other states are raising cigarette taxes, our state is lowering it. Oh, by the way, the tax did not go up in smoke. It is attached to a constitutional amendment on a bill which the Governor signed.
While the Governor can tout his adherence to “no tax” pledge, our kids and our poor have much greater access to “smokes” which ultimately means our state will have much more healthcare costs to endure and a much worse standard of life. While Governor Jindal can claim he did not raise taxes, we all know that in the end all of us will pay for the habits benefiting by the tobacco industry who has tried to tell us that smoking is not a health risk.
Governor Jindal might be right in his argument that New Orleans needs a first-class 1.2 billion dollar medical center and research facility to compete with the Joneses of Texas, Alabama and Tennessee. Yet, as we know, Kennedy, U.S. Senator David Vitter and Jim Tucker believe the "difference is clear". They see great risk at such a large endeavor. The project which could be the biggest economic development boon to the state in history does continue as we publically witness the "Jindal Way" versus the "Vitter, Kennedy, Tucker" way of spending.
Then, while the Governor is blaming the left, Obama and the “Washington Way” for mindless spending, Governor Jindal has been on a campaign tour promoting promoting improvements to the state.
Last week, it was an investment of $14 million in Community Development Block Grant and Capital Outlay funding for the Chennault International Airport. While most of us are pleased to see state and federal money spent on building business, the truth is it is hard to distinguish between the "good investments" by the state and some of those "horrible liberal investments" courtesy of the federal stimulus such as those highways being built in Baton Rouge.
Last week, Jindal was promoting the completion of the Superdome construction which was part of an overall deal that has helped Tom Benson fill up his high-rise building with state government agencies while other buildings are losing tenants by the droves due to the government emigration to the House of Benson.
It appears that almost every day since the end of the legislative session, Governor Jindal is making one economic development announcement after another. I'm not complaining. However, I am nonplussed. In the past, those announcements were few and far between. Over the recent weeks it's announcement du jour. The frequency and the timing of them (with the elections only months away) raises the question why are these announcments being made now? Were they put off or hastened for political reasons rather than occuring for buisness purposes?
Governor Jindal is not a bad governor and is certainly not a bad person. The voters have forgotten his flip-flopping on the legislative payraise. They have overlooked his writing a self-promotional book geared to the national market at the very time that our state was under seige by BP oil. They believe his claims of "ethics reform" while others claim believe there was no reform for his own office and administration transparency is a joke. Still, he will waltz to re-election, in part because he does what the voters want and because he is a master at image-making. Also, despite the complaints far and wide over his search for the next job and for the next campaign dollar, he was politically astute enough to travel out of state raising campaign money to become the invincible man during election season.
The Governor will continue to tout his record as a conservative governor and run against Washington although he really needs not to run against anyone except for perhaps, his own record.

I think the main problem with this whole situation is the disturbing lack of support we have. Every relationship we establish distances before finally fizzling out.
Some of those (especially the romantic ones) are “self” sabotage. The word self is in quotations because it isn’t truly Kit who does the sabotaging.
It is that the relationship has triggered something and rather than using our non-existent coping abilities, a protector comes out to solve the problem. By getting rid of it.
Or Charlotte bones someone she shouldn’t.
It isn’t a fair response most certainly. But there isn’t really any other way we know to handle triggers.
And when it comes to friendships, even the deepest ones we manage to make loosen and fall away because of our usual state of apathy. Serefina and Midori don’t even bother trying to keep that give-and-take relationship the average friend expects.
Rika just hates most people in general. And I spend most of my time trying to unravel the snags of lost time and memories.
But Kit cares. And I know it must be difficult to come back finding the guy you’ve been seeing won’t return a phone call and the friend you were so close with is suddenly cool and avoiding you.
But the rules and boundaries we had to try and prevent this are falling apart as everyone (and some new alters I’m only partially aware of) tries to take advantage and carve out their own stolen bit of time.
Something needs to change.

Jane Marczewski, a singer known by her stage name Nightbirde, who earned a legion of followers after being a contestant on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” has died after a battle with cancer, according to a report from TMZ Monday.
She was 31.
“We, her family, are devastated by her passing and unimaginable loss,” the Marczewski family said in a statement, provided by NBC.
Marczewski fought cancer for four years and died Feb. 19, her family said.
Nightbirde became an overnight sensation in June 2021 with a tear-jerking performance on “America’s Got Talent.”
She shared on the show she was battling her third bout of cancer. She withdrew from the competition in August 2021 when her health took “a turn for the worse.”

Xiopeneia, Themesa, Yleia and Lysis were once the acolytes of Selene at the Temple of Aur in the capital city of Eros. The acolytes were chosen by the High Priestess, based on their cleverness and beauty. Being one of the Acolytes of Aur was a great honor. It was also a position that could be achieved by everyone in the empire, both rich and poor. Everyone was equal. The acolytes practiced the arts of magic, teached by the High Priestess herself, and also cared for sick residents of the city of Eros.
After seeing the inequality in the city and in the Realm, they were persuaded by Selene to take action. An action that the Acolytes would change for the rest of their lives. They would perform an ancient and forbidden ritual to free the Dark Titan which was imprisoned in the depths of Hell itself. During this ancient ritual they came into contact with the forces of the underworld, the Hell Force. Their bodies were misused by Selene as vessels to channel these powers. Which failed miserably. But they had been betrayed and she and her acolytes were stopped at the top of the ritual. The fifth Acolyte Thea had betrayed them and ensured the help of the City Guard to stop their maleficent and forbidden ritual. But it already was to late for the other Acolytes. Only Selene had enough power to stop the Hell Power from taking control of her. The other Acolytes soon begin to change in horrendous creatures. Their faces began to wither and wings grew from their hands and arms. There need for water and food disappeared, they had already crossed the line between living and death.
At this moment the Acolytes of Selene are locked up in the prison of Xiomon in the city of Eros were they are awaiting there moment of revenge. | <urn:uuid:63ae7507-01ad-4d08-a19f-f08eea70c639> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://legendbuilds.com/wiki-item/selenes-acolytes/ | 2021-10-26T11:38:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587877.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026103840-20211026133840-00306.warc.gz | en | 0.988697 | 396 |
Not long ago, a group of scouts ignored the prime directive and damaged one of the non-carbon based life forms. The results went viral. We were investigating. Goblin Valley.
M class. The air was still. Breathable. Quiet. The terrain was foreign. Alien. Forbidding. Frozen figures watched, waited. Goblins.
Would they come to life? Would they reap havoc in the night? Best to visit in the light.
I can not say if a captured image contains a portion of the subject’s soul. The rocks must answer the query when sentience returns. Or perhaps sentience remains and only mobility has been taken. I could not tell. The figures were staring, watching. The hairs on the back of my neck stood. Chills. I was moving too fast. I perceived that age had slowed their movement, but not their purpose. Perhaps if I was careful, reverent, I could take with me their spirit and they would not bear witness of my own destructiveness. For, it would seem, that with more visibility, their demise is assured. | <urn:uuid:2aa2e15e-7b7e-43c4-af1d-def1f898434e> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://theyrecallingtome.com/2014/06/01/goblin-valley/ | 2019-11-19T03:41:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669967.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119015704-20191119043704-00285.warc.gz | en | 0.987244 | 224 |

GP practices led by women may be providing better care to patients, the chief inspector of general practice has suggested.
Professor Steve Field said he did not have figures but that it was his ‘hunch’ that more of the practices that were rated at the CQC’s top standard post-inspection were led by ‘good women clinical leaders’.
Speaking at the National Association of Primary Care’s Best Practice conference in Birmingham, Professor Field said the CQC was more focused on highlighting good practice than poor standards, listing a range of common denominators amid the ’70-plus’ outstanding practices inspectors have identified to date.
He said these included good leadership, a healthy learning culture, working with professionals in other practices and providing ’safe, effective and high-quality care’.
He added: ‘We haven’t got figures, but my hunch is that more of these practices that are outstanding have very good women leaders. Women clinical leaders, who provide something different.’
He highlighted ’a particular practice in Leicester run by two very, very caring, dynamic women that are really connected into the community’, which he said was ‘the best practice I’ve ever been into’ and almost ‘had him in tears’ giving feedback at the end of inspection.
The practice’s strengths included working closely within the homeless community and listening to patients, he said.
He added that practices that do really well have good communication with patients and the public, mentioning that even though it is now in the GP contract, ’some practices still don’t have patient participation groups’.
By contrast, the outstanding practices were closely entrenched in the community, ‘going that extra mile’, including in the evenings and at weekends.
However, he added: ‘Unfortunately we are seeing worse inadequate care than I had imagined.’
He said this included practices not monitoring their vaccine fridge temperature or giving immunisations without access to adrenaline in case of an adverse reaction.
It comes as Professor Field told Pulse in an exclusive interview this month that he wishes to relieve GPs of the experience that CQC inspection is a burden.
However, the CQC has come under intense criticism from the RCGP and GPC for for highlighting poor standards and for saddling practices with too much bureaucracy, while yesterday CQC chief executive David Behan admitted the CQC itself is ‘not an outstanding organisation’. | <urn:uuid:f7ecb35f-7668-41a7-9500-24a18a632cd4> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/regulation/more-female-leaders-at-outstanding-practices-suggests-field/ | 2021-05-09T02:07:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243988953.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20210509002206-20210509032206-00380.warc.gz | en | 0.973405 | 522 |
We got our ice creams and started walking towards the street. After a few steps, he kindly asked “are you sure you want to walk down here?” I nodded and looked off into the distance. The house on the corner of Pine and Main was now a flower shop with some rows of flowers planted out front.
When my mom was a child, she would walk by and gossip with her friends, telling stories about the older woman who lived here and how her house was haunted. I grew up thinking the same thing. Seeing ghosts in the third floor windows and running home to my grandmother. Out of breath, explaining what I saw. My grandmother always chuckled at my stories.
We turn down Pine and everything looks so different. At first I had no idea which house it was. All of the small capes were large colonials, only a few were still the same as I last remembered. It wasn’t until we got close that I realized I was looking at my grandmothers house, lucky number 13. It was no longer white with black shutters and a lavender door. It was tan and white and looked so foreign to me. Is this really the house I spent so much time in? It must be – the porch my dad and uncles built was still standing. It’s the only thing in the back I could see.
Since my father is from The Golden State, I only had one grandmother in New England, Helena. Helena was a beautiful woman, very particular, and very stubborn. She was a worrier. She enjoyed her sweets, her birds and plants, and her beloved Sinatra. We spent a lot of time together at 13 Pine.
I have fond memories of sliding down the basement stairs on my butt. The musty smell of the basement hitting my face, humidity covering my body. Tip toeing from pallet to pallet, hoping not to fall into the flooded water. Finally reaching the destination of the washing machine and dryer. The smell of cotton and laundry detergent filling my lungs. Oh, how I still love this smell! Filling the square, pale pink laundry basket with warm clothes. Folding them upstairs with her on her bed. Matching socks and chatting away. If only I could do laundry with her one more time.
We walk for a bit and turn around. “You know that broken square laundry basket we have? The pale pink one?” He nods. “In winter, I used to lug it outside and go sledding down that hill over there. That’s why it’s broken.” I’m sure he now realizes why I hold that silly thing so near and dear to my heart.
We keep walking slowly and I show him where the clothesline was, where I used to watch the hummingbirds, and where I used to build my snowmen. It’s amazing to think that I will never walk through that door again to the smell of a home cooked meal or the sound of my grandmother singing her songs and clapping away. If only I could have one more day. | <urn:uuid:7439505c-366a-42ea-8c7a-dd3b9016f918> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://lachancedelalune.com/2017/08/10/291/ | 2021-01-19T14:21:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703519395.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20210119135001-20210119165001-00716.warc.gz | en | 0.977559 | 640 |
The 2014 Mini Paceman comes as a sport coupe vehicle in the small segment. The automaker has combined the modern expansion in this brand new vehicle class. You will see that the car will look dynamic and strong and this can be considered as the notable characteristics of the Mini’s auto products.
Inside of the 2014 Mini Paceman, there will be the comfortable seats both for driver and passengers thanks to its high quality and nice leather material. This car has been designed as the 4-seater and the front seats are individual seats as standard and rear. You will see also the 3-dimensional door trim which has been integrated with the side window controls. At the back-side, there’s a high-opening tailgate that will allow your luggage area to be effortlessly accessed. You can store up to 330 liters of capacity and increasing to 1080 liters if you fold down the rear seat backrests.
In general, the 2014 Mini Paceman comes with elegant exterior design. The car also comes with innovative concept which is represented in a body design which combines dynamically stretched proportions with a muscular stance. The car’s dimension is apparently bigger and wider as compared to the 2013 Mini Countryman. You will see the dynamic curves along with the lines on the exterior sides that look very stylish. At the top side, there will be the swooping coupe-style roof down to the rear which makes the car appears more elegant.
The 2014 Mini Paceman will be available in 4 powerful and efficient petrol and diesel variants. The car comes with the 1.6-litre petrol engine that has been included with the valve managements system that will optimize both the response and efficiency. The over-boost function is at the driver’s disposal to provide predominantly powerful bursts of acceleration, escalating torque up to 260 Newton metres (192 lb-ft) for a short time between 1700 and 4500 rpm. The Mini Paceman will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h/62 mph in just 7.5 seconds. The standard specification of all MINI Paceman variants also includes lowered sports suspension and the ALL4 all-wheel-drive system.
At the LA Auto Show 2012, the company has announced that the 2014 Mini Paceman will be launched on March 16, 2013 with the price of around $24.000. Customers will have a choice of 2 petrol engines and a pair of diesel units. All with 4-cylinder and their zesty power delivery accompanied by remarkably low fuel consumption and emissions.

Board of Directors
Mary Schwaiger, President*
Mary Schwaiger has been a member of the NWLT Board of Directors since its inception. She is currently the Board President and a member of the Executive and Finance Committees.
Mary has a B.A. in Mathematics from Rockford College, and has taken additional coursework in accounting through the University of Wisconsin – Platteville. She is a Certified Public Accountant and co-owner of Reach & Schwaiger, Ltd., CPAs in Eagle River.
Mary has always loved the outdoors. She volunteered while in college at Eagle Valley, a privately owned nature preserve in southwest Wisconsin that is a roosting spot for bald eagles, leading plant and wildlife hikes – and later worked in the office developing local field guides for visitors. When she was asked to join the NWLT Board, Mary jumped at the chance to be involved in a conservation organization again.
She has served on the Board of Directors of WXPR Public Radio in Rhinelander, WI and Headwaters Council for the Performing Arts in Eagle River. Mary is a member of the Rotary Club of Eagle River and served as District Governor for Rotary District 6220 during the 2009-2010 Rotary International year. She also serves as treasurer for the Rotary District 6220 Youth Exchange Program.
Robert Martini, Vice-President
Bob Martini has been a NWLT board member since 2004. He currently serves as Vice President of the board and a member of the Conservation Committee.
Bob has a B.S. in Zoology from UW-Milwaukee with graduate work in Microbiology. He worked for 32 years in the DNR Water Division on acid rain research, groundwater protection, the cleanup of the Wisconsin River, dam removal and licensing, and was the statewide river protection coordinator.
Bob and his wife Kathy donated a conservation easement on their Deerskin River property in Vilas County in 2006. Bob also serves as President of Oneida County Lakes and Rivers Association, VP of the River Alliance of Wisconsin, President of the Nicolet College Foundation and former chair of the Nicolet College Board of Trustees, President of the Green Bass Lake Association, Trees For Tomorrow Natural Resource Education Center Advisory Council, the Oneida County Tourism Council, and a member of the Oneida County Board of Supervisors. Spare time is spent in wild places with water.
Atty. William Dickens, Treasurer
William Dickens, Jr. is an attorney and a philosophy instructor at Nicolet College. Bill holds a B.A. from Ripon College, a B.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a J.D. from the University of Oregon.
Bill joined the Board in September, 2009, after having served for three years in NWLT’s Conservation Committee. He took on the Treasurer duties in 2017 and continues to serve on the Conservation Committee, is a member of the Finance Committee, and helps annually monitor two conserved properties. Those activities reflect his special concerns with regard to the land trust.
Bill developed an interest in serving a land trust while in law school in Oregon. He also volunteered his assistance for the Northeast Wisconsin Land Trust. He was and remains attracted to land trust work because he believes conservation easements provide an excellent vehicle toward cooperative conservation, as distinct from environmental litigation. Bill and his wife Beth Tornes, who is also an NWLT board member, live in Lac du Flambeau.
Peter Davison, Secretary
Pete feels fortunate to have grown up in northern Wisconsin, and even more fortunate to live on the shore of a clear, cold lake and on a family tree farm. Pete’s father, a 35 year veteran Forest Ranger with the Wisconsin DNR, and his steadfast wife built that several hundred acre tree farm acre by acre. Their foresight allowed three sons to work in those woods and put themselves through college. All three of the sons also gained an undying appreciation for the woods, water, and wildlife that nature provides.
After attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison and receiving a degree in psychology, Pete returned to the north. He worked first as an educational counselor for UW-Extension, and recently finishing a 35-year career with the US Postal Service. Along the way he thought it important to be involved in the community – serving as a local reporter on mining, as a school and county board member, and on the state mining and investment board. Pete now focuses his volunteer work on lake associations, a library board, and town zoning.
Pete and his wife Brenda are now the stewards for part of the family tree farm, hoping to pass it on to their two daughters and four grandsons. As a Forest County representative, Pete also feels fortunate to be involved with the Northwoods Land trust and like-mined volunteers to help others find an opportunity to pursue their dreams of saving a piece of northern Wisconsin for the enjoyment of generations to come.
John Bates is the author of seven books and a contributor to seven others, all of which focus on the natural history of the Northwoods. John’s poems have also appeared in five different art/science collaborations, several of which have traveled nationally. He’s worked as a naturalist in Wisconsin’s Northwoods for 26 years, leading an array of trips all designed to help people further understand the remarkable diversity and beauty of nature, and our place within it.
John has also served on the Board of Trustees for the Wisconsin Nature Conservancy and the Wisconsin Humanities Council, and now serves on the Board of the River Alliance of Wisconsin. John and his wife Mary live on the Manitowish River in Iron County where they raised two daughters.
John joined the Northwoods Land Trust for two reasons: it’s filled with great people and has a great mission. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?
Sue Coffman has served as Treasurer and joined the NWLT Board in 2005.
Sue attended 1 year of college at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with coursework in accounting, animal science, psychology and horsemanship. Ongoing education has included other college courses in banking, bookkeeping, accounting, insurance and human behavior.
Sue has been in banking for 38 years. She has held many positions from teller, bookkeeper, deposit accounts, lender, mortgage lender and most recently collections specialist. Sue has been employed with River Valley Bank for the past 10 years.
Sue’s interest in conservation stems from her love of undeveloped land, be it woods and forest, lakes and rivers, or agricultural farm land. Sue and her husband Jim manage their 18 acres for wildlife habitat and hunting, especially deer and bear. They also own 11 acres on the Wisconsin River that is not developed, and they use this land for duck hunting and trapping.
Sue grew up in a family that hunted and ate what was harvested so she learned early about the importance of conservation. Outdoor activities include hunting, hiking, bicycling, kayaking, snowshoeing, horseback riding, raising chickens and also Birmingham Roller Pigeons. Reading books of all topics is a daily occurrence.
Ron Eckstein was born in Milwaukee and lived in southeast Wisconsin until age 10. He then moved throughout Wisconsin (Antigo, Waterford and Greenfield). Ron received a BS and MS in Wildlife Ecology from UW-Madison. After living in Madison for six years he and his wife Jan moved to Rhinelander in 1974.
Ron’s first job out of college was with the Wisconsin DNR. His first station was Rhinelander and he completed his entire 36-year career there.
Ron was one of two wildlife biologists covering Vilas, Oneida, and Forest counties as well as the statewide coordinator for the eagle and osprey conservation and survey work. He specialized in forest ecology, raptor management, and wild rice conservation. In addition, his job duties included working on big and small game management, property management, wetland management, wildlife surveys, and wildlife talks. During Ron’s career he banded about 1,500 eaglets in the nest, erected over 70 osprey nest platforms, and spent 22 years as a part-time Special Conservation Officer. Ron retired in December of 2010, but has remained involved as an Official Volunteer at DNR working on eagles, ospreys, and forest ecology. He maintains an office at DNR as “emeritus” wildlife biologist.
Jan and Ron Eckstein live near Nicolet College just south of Rhinelander and share a second home on Little Crooked Lake near Boulder Junction. They enjoy everything about Lake Superior and spend a lot of time close to the big lake (hiking, kayaking, XC skiing, and exploring).
Terry Hatch, M.D.
Dr. Terry Hatch is a pediatric gastroenterologist working at the Urbana campus of the Carle Foundation Hospital. Terry received his MD from Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, IN and his BS from the University of Illinois, Urbana. He did his internship and residency at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD.
Terry and his wife DiAnne live in Mahomet, IL, but also own land in the Springstead area of Iron County in northern Wisconsin. The Hatches granted their first conservation easement on their 80-acre Charnley Lake property to Gathering Waters in 1998. Gathering Waters transferred that easement to the Northwoods Land Trust in 2005, and Terry and DiAnne granted a second conservation easement to NWLT on 59 acres of adjacent land on Norma Lake at the same time.
Terry served for seven years on the Board of Directors of Gathering Waters – Wisconsin’s Alliance for Land Trusts. Terry and DiAnne received the Gathering Waters’ Land Legacy Award in September of 2017 for both their philanthropy and their direct conservation efforts. Their son Peter also serves as a volunteer conservation easement monitor for NWLT.
John Huppert is one of the original founding members of the Northwoods Land Trust and Board of Directors. He held the position of Board President from 2004 to 2008 and currently serves as Past President.
His interest in the outdoors and natural resources began in childhood through family camping trips and fishing with his father. This lead to a professional career of over 30 years as a forester with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources – all of which in northern Wisconsin within the Northwoods Land Trust service area. Recently retired from DNR, he now works part time as a private consultant forester. His career provided him the opportunity to spend countless hours in the woods working on forest management activities on both state lands and privately owned properties. Seeing first-hand the changes in land ownership and the increase in forest fragmentation and development over those years lead him to recognize the value of land trusts and conservation easements in protecting this unique landscape.
John earned a Bachelors Degree in Forest Management and Soil Science from UW-Stevens Point in 1979. He is a member of Ducks Unlimited and enjoys upland bird and waterfowl hunting. He is an avid cross-country skier and bicycler and also enjoys kayaking, canoeing, camping, hiking, fishing, and walking his dogs.
Atty. Mitchell Olson
Mitch Olson obtained his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1994, in International Relations (Managing the Global Commons) with Certificate in Environmental Studies. He subsequently earned his law degree from the Northwestern School of Law of Lewis & Clark College, Portland, Ore., in 1997.

Mezco’s One:12 Netflix Daredevil Revealed
Mezco Reveals One:12 Netflix’s Man With No Fear!
Mezco’s One:12 Collective line continues to grow from strength to strength and expand with new licenses. Over the last few years, Mezco has released more and more Marvel figures both from the MCU & Comic Books.
Now Mezco in the past few months has been delving into the Netflix MCU. In May they put up Netflix Punisher for pre-order based on his appearance in his own series.
During SDCC they revealed two Daredevil figures. One based on his black suit from the first series and his more iconic look from the second series. I have seen many images based on this appearance and I have to say it’s pretty spot on.
The One:12 series uses both soft goods and plastics to give these figures a higher quality look and feel. The suit is made of a vinyl material with pieces of soft goods on top to make his armor stand out. I love the kevlar look which is a subtle touch.
The boots, head, and hands are plastic and blend well with the look of the figure.
Daredevil features 28 points of articulation which is standard for the line. He comes with three sets of interchangeable hands. A set of gripping hands, fists and a set of posing hands and two interchangeable heads one with a normal blank expression and one with gritted teeth.
Also included is his two billy clubs which can hold together or separate and held in the thigh holster. He also comes with a standard display base and adjustable posing arm. I think this a great looking release, but I feel there are some missing accessories that could take it to the next level. Such as a cracked mask head, a bleeding smile head or a Matt Murdock head. Or a set of billy clubs with a rope would be ace.
Overall this is a fantastic looking figure and if you’re a fan of the series it’s a must-have. With the Punisher coming out sometime beforehand they’ll look great on display.
The figure will be released between January and March next year and will cost around $80 | <urn:uuid:e7b44f98-4ae1-4db0-bdaa-5076227f59ef> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | http://www.actionfigurefury.com/mezcos-one12-netflix-daredevil-revealed/ | 2019-09-17T22:49:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573124.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20190917223332-20190918005332-00361.warc.gz | en | 0.970912 | 462 |

The article by Jim Gorant puts PETA and the Humane Society on front street:
Peta wanted Jasmine [[one of the abused dogs]] dead. Not just Jasmine, and not just PETA. The Humane Society of the U.S., agreeing with PETA, took the position that Michael Vick's pit bulls, like all dogs saved from fight rings, were beyond rehabilitation and that trying to save them was a misappropriation of time and money... If you're a dog and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals suggests you be put down, you've got problems. Jasmine has problems. [[Sports Illustrated, Dec. 2008, pg. 72]]
What strikes me as odd [[and has always been an issue, really]] is the ease and eagerness PETA takes to simply euthanize pets, especially with how this story seems to end. The article continues to discuss all the families that have adopted and have committed to rehabilitating these abused animals. PETA likes to overlook a Catch and Release Plan, which takes strays, neuters/spays them, and releases them to control populations of stray pets. And in this instance, if there are families willing to love and help these dogs in spite of the risk, PETA needs to stfu. | <urn:uuid:ebc647a2-d669-4c22-88a8-59b8d05b8bbd> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://columbusvegan.blogspot.com/2008/12/michael-vicks-dogs.html | 2018-07-21T09:43:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676592475.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20180721090529-20180721110529-00012.warc.gz | en | 0.964787 | 260 |

Pets usually have shorter life spans than their human caregivers, so many people plan for their animals passing before them. However, all too often it is the human who becomes ill or incapacitated or dies first.
To ensure your beloved pet will continue to receive care should something unexpected happen to you, you must plan ahead. In the confusion that accompanies a person’s unexpected illness, accident, or death, pets may be overlooked.
There are some simple precautions you can take to stop this from happening:
Make sure your neighbours, friends, and relatives know how many pets you have and the names and contact numbers of the individuals who have agreed to serve as emergency caregivers. Emergency caregivers should also know how to contact each other.
Ask your legal advisor about granting in your Will broad discretion to your executor in making decisions about your animals and spending estate funds on their behalf as necessary
Remember, most humane organisations do not have the space or funds to care for your pet indefinitely and cannot guarantee that someone will adopt your animal, although some may be able to board and care for your pet temporarily until he or she can be transferred to his or her designated caregiver. There are a few organisations that specialise in the long term care of pets of deceased owners normally for a fee or donation, and you should carry out research as regards these if you wish to opt for this service. Remember to tell your legal advisor the details if you do. | <urn:uuid:6083ddf5-1202-4d34-b68e-e582e5e64fa3> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.willsjacobsen.co.uk/single-post/2015/10/19/As-a-nation-of-animal-lovers-we-must-make-provision-for-our-pets-if-we-die | 2019-11-17T20:44:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669276.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117192728-20191117220728-00443.warc.gz | en | 0.965431 | 291 |

I have a cold or allergies or maybe it is the bubonic plague. And it seems like I have had one since October. Now, I know I haven’t really been sick since then, but this weather makes it feel like I have been.
I was so relieved the other day to see one of the county commissioners declined to shake someone’s hand because he (the commissioner) was sick. So many times recently, I have wanted to do that. And so many times I have yielded to that pressure that is applied when one person sticks out his hand to another … and I passed germs along with the friendly greeting. Maybe we should make little buttons for people to wear that say things like "I like you, I just have a bad cold," or "It’s not you, it’s me and my cold." Or maybe I will just make one that says, "Run. Save yourself."
Since it is always best to try to find one good thing about whatever bad thing one is going through, I have been concentrating on the fact that we have, at least recently, been spared the onslaught of wintry precipitation that has hit other parts of the country with this cold dips.
A close look at the long-range forecast seems to indicate that might not be the case later next week, but I am not going to worry about that now. I am just going to keep my hands in my pockets, my sneezes to myself and pray this too will pass.
There will come a point in mid July when we will look back on all of this cold with some sort of appreciation, I am sure. Notice I didn’t say longing. I will never long for nights that dip below 20 degrees. While I am not looking forward to the 100-degree days that will come, I am looking forward to a return to moderation. I want to walk outside without feeling my breath freeze as it leaves my lips. I want to know that when I get up in the morning the temperature outside is not going to be so cold that I am afraid to let the dog out.
I keep telling myself to just hold on. Winter never lasts very long in North Texas. It is summer that lasts forever here. Winter and fall come and go in an instant generally. If I just hang on a little longer the instant will be over and spring will be on the horizon. Then I read the forecast and I fight the temptation to just crawl back into my bed and stay there till after Groundhog Day at least.

A week ago, Super Typhoon Sanba was listed as the most powerful tropical cyclone to develop across the globe for 2012 with maximum winds sustaining around 175 mile per hour (mph) at one point. Sanba pushed through parts of Okinawa, Japan and traveled into South Korea and dumped heavy rains across North Korea. Now, a week later, a new typhoon has formed and could impact Okinawa, Japan once again. Super Typhoon Jelawat is approximately 495 nm south-southwest of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan and is pushing to the northwest at five knots. As of now, Jelawat is considered a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir Simpson scale with sustained winds around 155 mph and will likely push near Okinawa, Japan on Friday, September 28, 2012.
Super Typhoon Jelawat had a rapid burst of intensification on September 23, 2012 when it went from a tropical storm with 65 mph winds to a Category 4 typhoon with 140 mph winds in just 24 hours. Jelawat is pushing parallel of the Philippines and will provide rip currents and squally weather across the islands. Fortunately, the strong hurricane force winds will not impact the islands directly, and flooding will not be a huge concern. For now, the weather models are pushing Jelawat northwest with a more northerly track in time and will likely impact parts of Okinawa, Japan by Friday. The storm will likely maintain Category 4 intensity for the next 24 hours before it finally weakens late Thursday and Friday as a Category 2 storm. As of now, Jelawat could intensify back into a Category 5 storm with winds possibly exceeding 160 mph. As of now, Jelawat is showing very cold cloud tops, has a symmetrical appearance, and a defined 25 mile-wide eye that all indicates a very healthy tropical cyclone.
Bottom line: Super Typhoon Jelawat is a monster tropical cyclone producing winds around 155 mph. Jelawat could regain Category 5 status in the next six to twelve hours as it pushes across ideal conditions that favor some strengthening. Jelawat will continue to push to the northwest parallel of the Philippines and will then push to the north/northeast and could impact Okinawa, Japan sometime on Friday, September 28, 2012 as a weaker cyclone with an estimated intensity around the strength of a Category 2 storm.

This Tea Kettle was everything I expected and more. It is the perfect size to make 4 or 5 cups of tea at once. I really like how loud the whistle is and how the handle is easy to use. You can't really see it on site, but there is a fade/ombre pattern towards the base of the kettle. It fades from the bright orange you see at the top into a deeper orange. It's subtle, but attractive. I'd recommend this to any tea lover with a modern or contemporary style kitchen.

Looks great, easy to pour and holds a good amount of water. Good value - I would recommend this to a friend.

Looks great and is very sturdy. Reasonably easy to erect by yourself. Except putting the top bunk onto the bottom bunk.

This is a very nice looking teapot. The really cool looking handle, however, makes pouring not too easy. Even with a pot holder steam reaches your fingers when pouring. You have to raise your arm so high to pour the water out your elbow is facing the ceiling.

This toffee sauce is a snap to prepare. It elevates ice cream and sweet treats like brownies and cakes with rich, buttery flavor. Photo credit: Susan Whetzel from Doughmesstic.

Carefully stir in cream and vanilla. (Mixture will be bubbly.)

A selection of pictures taken late last night at Oktoberfest, to give you a little taste of what it’s like.
I did a very similar post last year, but the pictures were far blurrier (and I couldn’t even blame the camera – I wanted you to imagine what it was like through the eyes of someone who had spent several hours there! That was my excuse at the time anyway!)! Hopefully these pictures make up for those!
No visit to the champagne tent on the way home for us this year sadly, as we couldn’t find it (yes, I am sure it was real before anyone asks!), and anyway Mr R was driving – so obviously no indulging for him, which was probably just as well given his experience last weekend!
Our last visit to Oktoberfest 2014, it all ends on Sunday… | <urn:uuid:498bbe9e-e877-44e3-98e5-0d2406be2530> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.thesojournseries.com/bavaria/night-wiesn-2014/ | 2021-07-31T03:33:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154042.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20210731011529-20210731041529-00012.warc.gz | en | 0.983137 | 178 |
Fiddes White Spirit is a high grade mineral spirits. To the touch, it has a slightly oily quality which contributes to the evenness of the flow and leveling of the Clear Glaze Varnishes. It is the recommended thinner for Clear Glaze, and is the appropriate thinner when used in small amounts in Hard Wax Oil and Danish Oil. White Spirit can be used in the most sparing amount in Supreme Wax if the wax has become thick in the can. While a lower grade of mineral spirits (paint thinner) can be used for cleaning varnish brushes and paint brushes, you may want to reserve White Spirit for thinning purposes to maintain the highest quality for your finishes. | <urn:uuid:fc046a27-81ea-4927-8498-231ee2aab74b> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://goosebaylumber.net/finish/fiddes-white-spirit | 2021-03-09T01:45:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178385534.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20210308235748-20210309025748-00217.warc.gz | en | 0.922657 | 138 |
Ramey Wine Cellars was founded in 1996 by David Ramey and his wife Carla, David has spent sixteen years as a wine making in Sonoma and a further six years working with and helping to establish several wineries in Napa. He has also helped to pioneer many traditional, artisan winemaking techniques helping to shape the way that many Californian wines are made to day, introducing barrel fermentation, malolactic fermentation and lees aging at a time when these methods were not practiced in the California. David gained a graduate degree from the University of California where he wrote thesis in 1979 which is still used today to better understand how wine ages. Following this, he worked for a period at Chateau Petrus, learning all he could about the art of French winemaking and applying this to the grapes in California’s wine regions.
With several vineyards planted across Napa and Sonoma, planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, Ramey Wine Cellars have quickly gained critical notoriety, high scores and great reviews from many respected wine writers which include Jancis Robinson and Jeb Dunnuck. | <urn:uuid:6c407524-269a-4785-8a64-6d22c163e38a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://thevinorium.co.uk/ch%C3%A2teau-de-fonbel/ramey-wine-cellars | 2019-07-22T05:50:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527531.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722051628-20190722073628-00007.warc.gz | en | 0.978088 | 242 |

Man slashed in the face by knife attacker hiding in bushes
- Credit: Archant
A careworker has suffered bad cuts to his face after being attacked with a knife while walking home in Norwich.
Nathan Murphy was returning home on the former railway line known as Lakenham Tracks between 9 and 10pm on Tuesday when he said a man jumped out of the trees and started to follow him.
The 30-year-old tried to escape but the man grabbed hold of him and there was an altercation, upon which the attacker took out a knife and slashed him across the face before running off.
Mr Murphy did not need medical care but said the attack left him feeling shaken and angry.
He said: "I was shocked about what was happening - I assume he was trying to mug me. I didn't know if there were more people in the bushes who would pile in.
You may also want to watch:
"After he ran off I noticed there was blood on my chest and neck. I panicked a bit as I didn't know where I was bleeding from and felt a bit worried and scared."
The tracks, which start from Brazen Gate and ends near Sandy Lane in Lakenham, has previously sparked safety concerns following reported muggings and knife attacks.
- 1 Spectacle of light with 'Norfolk's biggest ever firework display' announced
- 2 Rare Airbus Beluga XL spotted over Norfolk
- 3 Man dies after 'medical incident' on Yarmouth seafront
- 4 Man struck repeatedly on head with motorcylcle helmet in Norfolk attack
- 5 Main road reopens more than six hours after 'serious' crash
- 6 Closures near A11 roundabout after crash involving motorcycle and van
- 7 Norfolk man in a relationship with teen he abducted, court told
- 8 Plastic fork firm redundancies blamed on supermarket ‘greenwashing’
- 9 Star-studded cast announced for Norwich Theatre Royal 2021 panto
- 10 Petrol stations close nationally as HGV driver crisis worsens
Following the latest attack, Mr Murphy, who lives in Lakenham, said he felt compelled to write a post on Facebook, which has been shared around 900 times, warning people to stay away from the area.
The post prompted several messages to Mr Murphy sharing similar experiences, including a young woman who had a knife pulled on her.
Mr Murphy said: "It is not safe to go there and it just gets worse. It has been like that for years and everybody is constantly looking over their shoulder. There are people ready to attack, even in broad daylight.
"I won't use that route anymore and no one else should either. I want to raise awareness of the dangers of the route, particularly the end closest to the city."
A spokesperson for Norfolk police said: "While this specific incident doesn't appear to have been reported to us, we are aware of ongoing drug-related activity in the Lakenham tracks area. We regularly patrol this area, and will continue to take the appropriate response to incidents. We would encourage anyone who witnesses suspicious activity in the area to report this to us on the police number 101."
The number of knife and offensive weapon offences resulting in a caution or conviction has increased in Norfolk over the past seven years. New figures from the Ministry of Justice reveal the number of these offences has grown year on year across the county since 2013.
Last year marked the highest number of these offences recorded in the past decade - with 330 cases resulting in a caution or conviction. This is compared to 289 in 2018, 193 in 2013 and 274 in 2009.
Concerns have been raised over knife crime in our region - particularly in Norwich - which is thought to be partially linked to county lines drug dealing.
Norfolk police's inspector Ian Cox said: "These figures demonstrate that Norfolk police are taking a zero-tolerance approach to this kind of crime and will be as a direct result of proactive operations undertaken by our officers to combat issues such as county lines drug dealing. We have also been specifically targeting knife crime through Operation Sceptre. This involves proactive patrols in Norwich and town centres and our objective is to remove dangerous weapons from the street, as well as raise awareness of the dangers and consequences of carrying a knife."
He said they were continuing to target those believed to be carrying or threatening to use knives, but that preventing knife crime in the first place could not be done through policing alone.
"We continue to work with schools to prevent such offending and encourage parents to do their part to talk to their children about the risks of carrying knives," he said. "It is important to remember this is an issue for society as a whole and we are working with partner agencies and the local community to continue educating people around the risks of carrying knives." | <urn:uuid:6ba92e7a-d664-4813-b123-de08cfac272e> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/crime/knife-attack-victim-plea-avoid-lakenham-tracks-1504070 | 2021-09-24T11:29:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057524.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20210924110455-20210924140455-00463.warc.gz | en | 0.980555 | 983 |
For the last three years, Lanakila Pacific has held a fundraiser for Meals on Wheels called The Good Table. Before I even tell you what it is, I want you to know two things: 1) The money raised goes to feed needy seniors. Even with Lanakila’s efforts, 60,000 seniors still face hunger. 2) State funding to Lanakila Pacific Meals on Wheels recently got cut.
I hope that I’ll never need to use this program. I hope that no one I know ever has to use this program. But for now, the seniors who need it could use our good will. You usually read my blog because you like to eat, but here’s a chance for you to eat and do good for the community.
The Good Table 2012 recently launched its table sales, and several tables are already sold out. More than 50 popular Oahu dining establishments are donating tables to the event, so you still have a good selection from which to choose. If you buy a table, you’ll be getting a specially-created meal (often unique menu items not usually offered at the restaurant). Prices range from $125 to $2500, so even at the low end, if you’re splitting with friends, it comes out to about $50 per person.
Some of the restaurants include Alan Wong’s Restaurants, The Pineapple Room, Orchids at Halekulani, Tango Café, Stage Restaurant, 3660 on the Rise, Beachhouse at the Moana, Café Laufer, Le Bistro, Prince Court, BluWater Grill, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, California Pizza Kitchen, d.k. Steakhouse, Michel’s at the Colony Surf, The Pacific Club, Roy’s – Hawaii Kai, 12th Ave Grill, SALT Kitchen & Tasting Bar, Doraku Sushi, Sidestreet Inn – Ala Moana, Downbeat Diner, Aina Haina Chop Suey, Big City Diners, KFC Hawaii and Zippy’s island wide. More restaurants are being added all the way up until September 21, when the sales close, so keep checking back.
Then, on October 4, all the restaurants will commence their Good Table service at 6 p.m. Since we can’t all dine together, you can watch the twitter stream to see the photos posted by all the restaurants in real time. It’s like being at a virtual fundraiser!
For a full list of participating restaurants and special menus, or to purchase a table, visit www.TheGoodTable.org or call 531-0555. Help turn one great meal into many. To see all the photos from last year, click here.

Many low-income individuals are subject to erratic, unfair employment scheduling practices that interfere with their ability to receive ongoing and critical healthcare services; maintain other benefits; and secure childcare. Constantly being “on call,” not knowing whether you will need to come in to work or not, even on your days off, leads to increased stress and a decreased quality of life. Advocates in the City of Philadelphia are encouraging City Council members to adopt Fair Work Week practices that will eliminate these unjust scheduling practices.

The wrong side of history: The struggle to protect our nation’s health during a time of political apathy toward helping the poor.
On June 28, 2012 a group of public health leaders nervously huddled together to focus on a steady stream of words being projected on to a screen. The collective of heath care providers, epidemiologists, administrators, educators, lawyers, and advocates who were previously gathered to discuss the American Public Health Association’s upcoming agenda and activities for the year, were now closely watching live coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) signed in to law by President Obama in 2010.

Monsieur Salut writes: although we sometimes – OK, often – go back to familiar faces for the Who are You? series, we also search constantly for new blood. Kathryn Townsley, who chairs the Hull City Official Supporters’ Club, is a breath of fresh air with a terrific set of answers that work best if divided into two parts. Today, she reflects on the prospects for our clubs – prepare for some more gloomy thoughts on ours and who can blame her even though she offered her views before our humiliation at Cardiff? – and tomorrow, she’ll be back with some brilliant memories from four visits by her team to Wembley …
Best players you’ve seen in your colours?
I dare you to name the worst!
Sunderland: your thoughts on the club, the fans, the city and region, Chris Coleman?
Did you see our downfall coming?
Hand on heart, where will our two clubs finish this season?
The Niasse question: are the authorities finally getting to grips with diving or will players always try it on and blather about being “entitled to go down”?
Did your club benefit in any way from the UK city of culture year?
Will you be at our game? What will be the score?
Kathryn Townsley on herself: I’m a lifelong Hull City supporter – it’s in my genes. The first game I went to was with an ex boyfriend in the ’80s so when I was early 20s – and was at Boothferry Park where we drew against Shrewsbury Town – thank goodness as I was threatened with being sent to Shrewsbury if we’d have lost as I’d have been seen as a bad omen. I’d not been able to go to matches before that due to finances and where we lived / my parents business as we had a market garden and were busy working on weekends & we weren’t that near Hull.
Since then I got the bug for being at the game, rather than waiting for the videprinter on Grandstand, waiting for James Alexander Gordon to read the result on final score or listening to the match commentary on BBC local radio. I love the buzz. I love to hear the pounding of the football boots into the grass, the smack of the ball, the banter between the fans, that common bond you all have – the desire for your team to win.I’ve been a season ticket / membership holder for I don’t know how many years now and I will arrange my holidays abroad around games – we only have Sky Sports at home because I’m football mad, my other half has no interest in football, actually not really any interest in sport! It must be true what they say about opposites attracting.I’ve been involved with the Hull City Official Supporters Club for only the last three years – I volunteered to help whilst I was working away from home, and missed being part of a community. The OSC had some tasks that needed a hand which didn’t necessarily need to happen in / near to Hull – so it suited me. In July last year, I was chuffed to be voted chair.It’s hard work what we do, and as I say, we’re all volunteers and the majority of us work full time – but we’ve over the last year, we’ve held 2 x Meet the Player nights, with another one coming up later this month, we’ve raised over £3,200 for charities which have some connection to Hull City or their players, we’ve held a football tournament involving Ex Tigers, OSC members, our sponsors who are based in Iceland, been entertained by Dean Windass and other Ex players, produced 3 Tiger Mags – 40 page fan magazines, and hosted a KCOM Stadium tour. | <urn:uuid:321afa18-127d-4a59-9f88-01a830558e83> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://safc.blog/safc-vs-hull-city-who-are-you-1-who-will-avoid-the-drop/ | 2022-08-11T05:43:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571234.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811042804-20220811072804-00508.warc.gz | en | 0.972523 | 807 |
