By Carrie Rosenfeld NEWPORT BEACH, CA—Even with rising interest rates, there is still room for cap-rate compression driven by projected NOI growth at the property level and the appetite for institutional investors to increase their allocation to industrial, Bixby Land Co.’s Aaron Hill tells GlobeSt.com. The firm, a commercial real estate operator and investment manager in the western US, recently named Hill as president, extending an 11-year tenure at Bixby, where he most recently served as EVP and COO. The move is a natural progression for Hill, who as COO has overseen day-to-day operations with a focus on portfolio management for the firm. Bill Halford, who has served as Bixby’s president and CEO since 2006, retains his CEO position and continues to lead the strategic vision and growth of the company. We sat down with Hill for a chat about the move, the company’s goals and how he views the industrial sector. GlobeSt.com: Describe for us your company’s investment goals as you move into this new role. Hill: Bixby Land Co. is targeting between $350 million and $400 million of industrial acquisitions, in both primary and secondary markets in the western US, over the next 24 months. Investments will consist of selective core-plus and value-add acquisitions of office and R&D. GlobeSt.com: What makes industrial such a smart move for your firm? Hill: We have a fully integrated operating platform with a proven history of acquisition, operation and disposition of industrial properties on which we capitalize. We currently oversee approximately 5 million square feet of industrial real estate under management. Industrial demand drivers remain strong and are projected to outperform other asset classes. These demand drivers include increased industrial production, increased trade, growing US GDP, increased retail sales, increased new-home sales, increase in inventories, improving consumer confidence and the growth of c-commerce. We anticipate that these demand drivers, combined with rising construction costs for new product and limited available land in primary markets, will lead to positive rent growth over the next few years. Additionally, even with rising interest rates there still is room for cap rate compression driven by projected NOI growth at the property level and the appetite for institutional investors to increase their allocation to industrial. GlobeSt.com: How do you see this sector changing over the next five to 10 years? Hill: E-commerce has been, and will continue to be, a driving force of change in the sector. Based on the continued move towards urbanization and the demand for next-day product delivery, or even same-day delivery, the fulfillment chain will continue to evolve over the next five to 10 years. This will likely lead to an increase in demand for smaller regional distribution centers, cross-doc and service/sorting depots in and around population centers. This demand, combined with limited existing supply and new developmentopportunities in these locations, could lead to evolving building construction (e.g., multi-story industrial buildings) and the repositioning of other product types (e.g., stand-alone big-box retailers). GlobeSt.com: What else should our readers know about the industrial sector? Hill: Although we are bullish on the industrial sector, there are still a few potential risks we are watching. These include the normal threats like overbuilding and building obsolescence, but they also include the fulfillment-chain evolution, technology and automation disruption, the price of oil, Panama Canal expansion (for the West Coast markets) and geopolitical uncertainty/trade.

|Just look at him go! Messi material, am I right?|
Today you are exactly 15 months old.
And because it's also Halloween today I just couldn't resist dressing you up for the photo's.
You got this soccer outfit last year around Christmas from your aunt and uncle who live in Rotterdam (this is the Rotterdam soccer clubs jersey) and I thought it would make a perfect Halloween costume.
It isn't completely out of the blue that you're dressed up like a soccer player,
you recently learned to play 'soccer' and you absolutely love it!
You're pretty good with the ball, actually kicking it and everything.
I think we might have the next Messi on our hands ;).
I love how much you talk and how it seems like you're learning a new word every day.
I love how social you still are and how much you love connecting with other people.
I love it when I call for you in the morning, you answer with : 'baba!' (your not very good at 'm' words yet)
I love how much you love food and enjoy sitting at the table with your papa and me.
I love it when you come to me with a book and ask me to read it to you.
Micha, I love everything about you, even when you're a handful
(and you have been quite a handful this month).
Your unexpected hugs and kisses make up for all of the cheekiness. | <urn:uuid:28e5fc6e-30c2-4530-90fc-2d30311b2a40> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://michaandme.blogspot.nl/2013/10/ | 2018-03-24T13:27:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257650685.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20180324132337-20180324152337-00566.warc.gz | en | 0.969355 | 309 |

VALLEYCITY (NewsDakota.com) – A well-known pilot from Kindred has died after his airplane crashed Friday at the Barnes County Municipal Airport.
Sergeant Troy Hischer with the North Dakota Highway Patrol says 66-year-old Bob Odegaard died at the scene after his 1945 Super Corsair crashed at about 5:55 p.m. Odegaard was practicing his routine for the Wings & Wheels Airshow scheduled to be Saturday at the airport.
Hischer says witnesses say Odegaard was attempting a barrel roll prior to the crash. Odegaard’s son, who was also scheduled to perform Saturday, was the first person at the scene of the crash.
Dennis Helland, chairman of the Barnes County Airport Authority, says the airshow has been canceled, saying, “people that are scheduled to perform tomorrow, don’t want to fly.”
Helland says Odegaard was a legend in the flying community, and had mentored Tim McPherson, co-director of the airshow, for the past 35 years.
The Federal Aviation Administration arrived on the scene shortly after 8 p.m. Friday and is taking over the crash scene according to Hischer.
Odegaard was one of several performers Friday who were doing practice flights in advance of their scheduled performances Saturday in the airshow.

PLEASE NOTE: The INAM Consortium was funded by a $12.9 million grant from the Department of Labor and tasked with delivering certificate programs in Advanced Manufacturing that can be completed in one year or less and prepare participants for employment in high-wage, high-skill occupations. While the INAM grant project has ended, these training programs remain vibrant at the individual Community Colleges. Please visit the colleges for ongoing program information.
The Precision Machining/Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Program was designed to prepare students for employment in the precision metal working industry. CNC programs provided the academic course work, hands-on skills, and advanced manufacturing processes required by employers. Students were prepared for employment in both large manufacturing corporations and small precision machining companies.
Precision CNC technicians operate high-end, computer-controlled equipment and technologies to produce precise highly-engineered components, subsystems and devices to exacting customer specifications. Most of these products produced are designed to be placed, as fully functional components, within complete high-performance systems. A key focus of these programs is on metal cutting techniques utilizing advanced technologies and computer-controlled equipment in such fields as mold making, model making, die making, machine repair and a foundational knowledge of a variety of computer numerical control (CNC) machines.
Technicians who enter this field must be flexible in performing operations and be comfortable working with a variety of materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, plastics and various aerospace and medical grade metallic alloys. Courses for precision manufacturing typically included manufacturing processes, machining, technical mathematics, metrology (measurement), quality control, metallurgy, CNC (computer numerical control), print reading, and technical writing.
National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) is the leading metalworking trade association. NIMS was created by a group of US metalworking trade associations in order to develop and maintain a globally-competitive workforce here at home. NIMS sets skills standards for the industry, certifies individual skills against the standards and accredits training programs that meet NIMS quality requirements.

In this lesson, we’ll learn about
- The Transformation Tool Rotation Point
- Why & How to Move the Rotation Point on Elements
- Changing the Rotation Point on Papers
Transformation Tool Rotation Point
I’m sure when you have used the Transformation Tool, you’ve noticed the little plus on a circle right in the middle of the selection, that’s the Rotation Point. In case you don’t recognize the name, the Transformation Tool is the tool used to rotate, enlarge, or shrink an image, paper or element. When you select Ctrl + T you’re selecting the Transformation Tool. The Rotation Point is located in the center of the bounding box. It’s very small and, depending on how busy an item is, it can be hard to see. Here’s an enlargement to show what I’m talking about.
Why & How to Move the Rotation Point on Elements?
You may wonder why you’d want to move the Rotation Point. In the example below, I’m adding some leaves to this journal card & flower. When the item is placed on the layout it is placed in the direction the designer used when they created the item. As you can see the Rotation Point is in the center in the top sample.
When the item is rotated, it’s as if the element is pinned down at that point.
In the bottom sample, I select the Transform Tool (Ctrl+T) then hold Alt to move the Rotation Point (Ctrl+T> Hold Alt> Drag).
Now when the item is rotated the “pinned point” is toward the bottom of the element. Of course, you can drag the elements where you want them after rotating them. I placed these slightly to the side of the flower for demonstration purposes.
Now let’s look at another example using a ribbon and rotating from the center axis.
When the item is rotated it moves away from the other items in the cluster being created. I want the ribbon to stay under the flower so I’ll move the Rotation Point to the center of the flower (Ctrl+T> Hold Alt> Drag)
Now when I rotate the ribbon it stays right where I want it.
Changing the Rotation Point on Papers
It may be a little less obvious but papers can be rotated in the same way.
And the results will be different.
You may wonder why you’d want to change the Rotation Point to rotate papers. When clipping a paper to a photo box, on a new layout or template, you may want to show a specific area.
In the next example, I’ve added an area of the paper that includes a butterfly and some graph paper design. But I’d really like it better if that were angled.
Using the original Rotation Point the butterfly and graph paper move away from or maybe all the way off the square I want it on. Yes, you could then move the paper until it’s just right OR…
You can move the Rotation Point and get it right the first time. Ctrl+T> Hold Alt> Drag.
Voila! That’s what I’m talking about. (Finally, I lowered the butterfly design opacity slightly)
This can make things so much easier and save some steps at the same time. If you are using Photoshop instead of Photoshop Elements, check out Snickerdoodle Designs tutorial using PS.

The Gold Dome Restaurant sat at the northern end of the old Kanawha City bridge until the interstate construction buried it under in the early 1970's. Its hot dogs were legendary for their quality and affordability. At one time, I'm told, you could by 10 hot dogs for a dollar at the Gold Dome.
After the restaurant was closed the signs were moved to the side of a building on 57th Street near the Kanawha Mall. I am not sure if there is any real connection to the old Gold Dome, but I am sure they have very, very good hot dogs.
The place is now a bar and grill and despite the smoke that comes with that designation it seems to be a pretty nice place. I was there on a Friday afternoon and a half-dozen or so folks were there that seemed like regulars. A couple of nice pool tables and several tv's give it the ambiance of a modern sports bar. The service was prompt and friendly.
The first thing to say about the dogs is SWEET! Not just in the modern vernacular exclamatory (although it fits) but in the literal adjective sense. The slaw is sweet like you would expect on a WVHD, but the chili is sweet also. It tastes every bit as sweet as southern style pulled-pork barbecue, but better. It's sweetness is in addition to, not instead of, some nice spiciness that left its mark on my palate for quite sometime. Think of Chris' with molasses. The slaw was a little dry but it's perfectly sweet and served in a perfectly appropriate-sized helping. The weenie had a great flavor and seemed to be larger than average. The bun, since the dog was properly wrapped in wax paper, was delightfully soft and delicious.
I also must report that I saw an order of onion rings come out while I waited and they looked fantastic. I wish I had tried some for myself. I will the next time - and there will be a next time because these dogs definitely have taken over a spot in my top five. | <urn:uuid:feec506a-4a86-40c2-80d6-33a894149403> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://wvhotdogblog.blogspot.com/2006/04/charleston-area-hot-dog-joints-gold.html | 2017-01-23T10:35:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560282631.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095122-00487-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984618 | 427 |
Dear Friends, “Those trips are expensive! How can you afford it?” “I’d love to take a mission trip, but I could never come up with that kind of money.” These represent only a few of the questions and comments our family (five now young-adult children plus Dad and Mom) has heard in the more than 50 short-term mission trips we’ve taken through the years. Because of multiple mission trips, we’ve sometimes had to raise more than $10,000 in one season. So how do we do it? How can you? Large and in Charge As you prepare for your mission trip, remember the One who called you to go. God doesn’t order what he can’t pay for. If he’s leading you on a mission trip, you can trust him to guide your fundraising, too. But don’t sit around waiting for pennies from heaven. Instead, ask God for creative ways to add dollars to your mission trip account. Feel free to consider some of the following (all of which our family has used, often more than once). The Write Start This classic mission-trip fundraiser involves writing letters to friends and family explaining your trip and the funds you need. But don’t discount the power of persuasion. A student I know wrote a letter as the first of what she thought would be several fundraisers. Donations poured in, and she ended up with $2802—just two dollars more than the total needed for her trip. The negative side of this approach is that lots of people write fundraiser letters, and yours may get tossed aside. Recently, we’ve ditched the traditional letter in favor of social media posts with a quick link to an online donor campaign. Your sponsoring organization may provide one, or you might consider something like KickStarter or GoFundMe. (Here’s an example: our daughter Melanie’s current fundraiser site.) Sales Pitch What about that junk cluttering up your (or your neighbors’) garages? Offer to haul it off at no charge, then organize and sell it. One church group I know has a huge garage sale each year and shares the profits with anyone taking a mission trip. Advertise the sale via traditional channels (neighborhood social networks, local newspapers, and signs) but make sure to let your visitors know the funds raised go to support a mission trip. During our missions garage sales, we provide posters showing pictures of past trips, country and specific ministry information. We also add a big “donations” jar to our checkout table. Even those avid garage-salers who want to talk you down from a $1 item will often throw a bill into the donations jar! Bake it Off Do you bake mouth-watering muffins or crazy-good cookies?...Read More

Market Street has always been the venue to voice, protest for, and celebrate for peace; “27 Steps” reminds us of this journey through Mandela’s 27 years at Robben Island.
The peaceful march to protest the war on Iraq on Market Street is a moment etched in our memory. Similar stories of the Vietnam War were narrated to us. A first hand experience demonstrate to us the power of a voice of a city. Market Street has always been the venue to voice, to protest, to celebrate, to walk for peace. The Market Street fair offers such a opportunity again, not for a protest, but for a walk for peace in a celebratory environment.
Our proposal titled “27 Steps” is a walk for Mandela – a walk for peace. The Bay Area has supported anti-apartheid movement, with local politicians such as Ron Dellums and celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg and Pedro Noguera, the UC Berkeley student body president in 1985, have supported Mandela long before his release to freedom. As a remnant of Mandela’s World Tour to the Bay Area (1990), our proposal resonates Mandela’s struggle and aligns his anti-apartheid voice with the voice of San Francisco.
The pavilion is a walk of twenty seven steps. Two pyramids open the gateway to this path. The void stands for how Mandela inverted the political pyramid by cultivating a culture of forgiveness. The “Invictus” poem that guided Mandela through his 27 years in prison is narrated as one walks this path (via sensor-activated speakers). Recorded narration by those who have personally met and were touched by Mandela will also be heard through the walk.
By night, it becomes a lantern of hope.
The Mandela piece is here for three days to offer a space where both visitors as well as those who live on the streets of Market to come together and walk the same walk as equals – to walk for hope, for peace, and for a common purpose. We would also like to invite relevant leaders, philanthropists, friends, and mentees of Mandela to the Market Street Fair to walk these 27 steps, to reinforce the message of peace and equality.
In the larger context, we see this as an opportunity to build this exhibit as a traveling pavilion. Our hope is offer this walk in other venues in America, Europe, Asia, and South Africa (Apartheid Museum). This is a prototype which we would like to further develop (in terms of the materials and means of construction) to have the strength and flexibility needed to live for more than a year. Sustainable local materials will be the basis of design.
This is a pilgrimage for all, however the roots of the message starts here in our unique city San Francisco, a place we call home.

The electric scrapers that Glenn Janie is talking about are used over concrete flooring, but I'd be real concerned about what they'd do to a much softer hardwood floor. I'd be concerned that an electric floor stripper would make match sticks out of it.
What I'd do instead is see if either water, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner (which is mostly toluene, or acetone) will dissolve the old adhesive. If any of them do, then put down some solvent over an area and immediately cover with wax paper to prevent the solvent from evaporating. As the solvent penetrates through the cardboard to the glue at the cardboard/glue interface, it will soften the glue at that interface making the cardboard easy to scrape off the glue with a putty knife. As the solvent penetrates deeper and deeper into the glue, it should make the glue easier to remove by scraping with either a putty knife of paint scraper.
None of the above mentioned solvents will harm wood. (Water will make wood swell and possibly raise it's grain if there's no wax or polyurethane over the wood.) Mineral spirits won't harm polyurethane, but the other two solvents will etch polyurethane and probably dissolve Carnauba Wax. But, in all liklihood, you're going to have to refinish the hardwood anyway.
I'd try removing the cardboard and adhesive in the vicinity of the kitchen sink first. That's the area where the hardwood is likely to be in the worst condition, and that's where you're probably gonna most need refinishing. | <urn:uuid:ac5fb761-4828-4dcc-815f-b05956f39de0> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.houserepairtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1970 | 2017-03-30T20:32:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218203515.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322213003-00453-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950743 | 333 |

Don’t throw those pumpkin seeds out after you carve your pumpkins for Halloween. Toss them in some oil and salt and let your Traeger create a fun and healthy wood fired snack.
How many people are you serving?
As soon as possible after removing the seeds from the pumpkin, rinse pumpkin seeds under cold water in a colander and pick out the pulp and strings.
Place the pumpkin seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet, stirring to coat. When ready to cook, set temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.
Place the baking sheet with the seeds on the grill grate, close the lid, and smoke for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle your seeds with salt and turn the temperature on your grill up to 325℉. Roast the seeds until toasted, about 20 minutes. Check and stir seeds after the first 10 minutes.
Seeds will be brown because they were smoked before being roasted. Enjoy!

Trump, Backers Ask Courts to Halt or Block Three State Recounts
The legal actions aimed at the recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin could cause delays that would make them extremely difficult or impossible to complete on time.
President-elect Donald Trump's supporters moved Friday to prevent or halt election recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, involving the courts less than two weeks before the states would have to complete the task to meet a federal deadline to certify their election results.
The legal actions seeking to block or halt the recounts in three states Trump only narrowly won could cause delays that would make them extremely difficult or impossible to complete on time. Even if the recounts happen, though, none would be expected to give Democrat Hillary Clinton enough votes to emerge as the winner.
The recounts were requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who says they're necessary to ensure that voting machines weren't hacked, even though there's no evidence that they were. Critics say Stein is simply trying to raise money and her political profile while building a donor database.
"Our goal is not to change the result of the election," Stein said in an opinion piece released Thursday. "It is to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the vote."
Wisconsin is the only state where a recount is underway so far. It began Thursday, and one of the state's 72 counties already had completed its task by Friday, with Clinton gaining a single a vote on Trump.
Two pro-Trump groups, the Great America PAC and the Stop Hillary PAC, and Wisconsin voter Ronald R. Johnson went to federal court late Thursday to try and stop the recount. On Friday, U.S. District Judge James Peterson rejected their request for a temporary restraining order to immediately halt the recount, saying there was no harm in allowing it to continue while the court considers their lawsuit. A hearing on the lawsuit is scheduled for Dec. 9.
The lawsuit says Wisconsin is violating the U.S. Supreme Court's 2000 Bush v. Gore ruling because it doesn't have uniform standards to determine which votes should be counted in a recount. It also argues that the recount threatens due-process rights because it may not get done by the federal deadline to certify the vote, putting Wisconsin's electoral votes in jeopardy.
If states miss the deadline, Congress would allot their electoral votes.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice was reviewing the lawsuit, said Johnny Koremenos, spokesman for Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel.
Michigan's elections board deadlocked Friday on a Trump campaign request to deny Stein's recount request and on how a recount would be conducted. Both Republican members voted to prevent the recount, while both Democrats voted to allow it, meaning it likely would begin Wednesday unless the courts intervene. It also would be conducted by hand, as Stein requested.
In separate lawsuits against the state, Michigan's Republican attorney general and Trump asked state courts to prevent the recount, saying Stein should not be allowed to seek one because she finished so far behind Trump and Clinton that she couldn't have won, even if some votes were miscounted. Stein got about 1 percent of the vote in all three states.
The Michigan courts appeared unlikely to rule immediately, with one asking for a response from state elections officials by Tuesday. In Pennsylvania, a hearing is scheduled for Monday on Stein's push to secure a court-ordered statewide recount there. Republican lawyers filed a motion that was posted on the court's website Friday accusing Stein of engaging in legal antics and saying her recount request endangers Pennsylvania's ability to certify its electors by the federal deadline.
Stein has argued, without evidence, that irregularities in the votes in all three states suggest that there could have been tampering with the vote, perhaps through a well-coordinated, highly complex cyberattack.
Elections officials in the three states have expressed confidence in their results.
Trump defeated Clinton in Wisconsin by about 22,000 votes, or less than 1 percentage point. His margin of victory in Michigan was even slimmer, at about 10,700 votes out of 4.8 million cast.
An updated count Friday by Pennsylvania elections officials showed Trump's lead over Clinton in that state had shrunk to 49,000 from 71,000, as more counties wrap up final tallies. That put Trump's lead at 0.8 percent, down from over 1 percent, out of 6 million votes cast. It's still shy of Pennsylvania's 0.5 percent trigger for an automatic statewide recount. | <urn:uuid:8f9b18e8-e357-4f59-a45b-71821affe64a> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/trump-backers-ask-courts-halt-block-state-recounts-952388 | 2017-03-29T19:12:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218191353.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212951-00351-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974578 | 901 |
[sword-devel] Shorter book name abbreviations
greg.hellings at gmail.com
Sun Sep 19 07:40:45 MST 2010
I was suggesting that in your application's settings you could provide
a "customize book abbreviations" mechanism to the user, so they
wouldn't have to locate the files and manually edit them.
I don't see a problem with the 2 letter ones, as long as they are
clearly obvious as to what they are. Philippians and Philemon, for
example, I don't think ought to be given default 2 letter
abbreviations. While "Ph" usually means Philippians and "Phil" means
Philemon, usually don't remember Philippian's existence when I'm
quickly abbreviating Philemon as "Ph".
Thus, if you allow the user to edit the abbreviations through the
application, then they can select "P" to mean Philemon if they use
that book frequently or "N" to be Nehemiah. It could also solve this
user's problem directly by allowing him to provide his own set of

Mulloway Season in full swing
Cyclone Debbie’s effect on all things is lingering with a really positive impact on fishing around the Islands. Reports of lots of Red Emperor and Nannygai, some cracking Coral Trout and general great fishing all around. This is often the case after a lot of rain but the winds associated with the cyclone seems to have had some unusual effects. I fish a lot in Whitehaven Bay. Having already blogged about the Hill Inlet grunter, which are still there and plentiful, I also have a few spots out in the bay proper, just a kilometre or so from the beach itself which I fish often. Last week was amazing. Glass calm conditions made for easy fishing and we caught a lot of Red Throat Emperor. In all the years I have fished the Whitsundays I have only ever caught 2 around the Islands as these are typically a fish only caught out at the reef itself. I thought the first one was a fluke but after catching 7 in a single session, where I have never seen them before, they have clearly been impacted by the weather. Another great surprise, at the same pinnacle I might add, was black Mulloway. I have caught the odd small one at this spot but they were in large numbers and large fish. After catching 3 we moved away and left them biting as they are not a fish which you can release after catching in deep water as they suffer from barotrauma and do not survive release. The pinnacle I fish also has a large resident Tiger Shark which always seems to eat at least 1 good fish every time I fish there. This time was no exception collecting a bit of “tax” as you can see in the attached photo. Hope he enjoyed it as much as I will enjoy what he left behind.
Mulloway is a great local fish, similar in looks and taste to the prized southern silver mulloway. These are also called jewfish but are all closely related. A very firm dense white flesh which breaks away in large flakes. It is a fish which will stand up to strong spices mixes, curries or is great in a fish chowder or bouillabaisse. Winter is mulloway season. You will see some turning up in our better fish retailers and speciality seafood restaurants (like ours =)) so give it a try. Fresh, local and only ever line caught this is a great sustainable fishery and so much better for us in terms of looking after the environment, local jobs and the quality of fish you get to feed you family with than anything you will find “imported and thawed for your convenience” at the supermarket.
I find shopping at supermarkets, whilst at times a great convenience, always a bit depressing, particularly looking at the produce, meats and seafood. Taking the time to visit a proper fruit and veg shop like Prickly Pineapple, a specialty butcher and a specialty local seafood supplier can be a really enjoyable experience and something the kids will love doing with you. Take them “proper” shopping and you will see them get interested not just in the produce, but also cooking, and this is a life skill we should all be encouraging. | <urn:uuid:fb742d5f-83a5-42d2-85a2-2fd36eef7dda> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | http://www.baittoplate.com.au/blog/2017/7/12/so9fd1b4lh6jxefigurg1f34wlv6k7 | 2019-08-25T13:26:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027330233.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190825130849-20190825152849-00513.warc.gz | en | 0.979648 | 656 |
Hotel Neapolis is a three stars hotel situated in the heart of the historical centre of Naples, at walking distance from the city’s most ancient and evocative monuments. Furthermore, the hotel is connected with other places of great interest by the metro, bus and funicular lines, whose stops are few metres distant from the hotel. For this reason, the Neapolis is the ideal residence for who wants to get to know Naples as a city of art and culture.
The hotel has 24 rooms (single and double), some of which are used as triple and quadruple rooms. Every room is equipped with bath, independent adjustable air-conditioning system with remote control, TV SAT independent self-adjusting broadcasting, fridge-bar, PC with flat screen and free internet connection, direct dial telephone.
The hotel has moreover comfortable and pleasant rooms for breakfast, TV, bar, restaurant and a monumental complex (church and chapels) for organizing conferences, congresses, exhibitions, shows and any other type of cultural event. The roof bar “Le terrazze” is a splendid solarium during the day, and in the evening it becomes a marvellous place for enjoying a drink in the moonlight.
Last but not least, the hotel has a garage which is very important: it is extremely difficult to find a parking space in the historical centre. The Neapolis offers its guests a garage with collect-and-return service directly to the hotel entrance. | <urn:uuid:d265f922-729a-4256-9870-4b6a16345e91> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.instantworldbooking.com/Italy-hotels/Hotel-Neapolis_Napoli.htm | 2020-04-03T22:19:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370518767.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20200403220847-20200404010847-00048.warc.gz | en | 0.95929 | 298 |

Leather Leone is an American metal vocalist best known for fronting the groups Rude Girl[and Chastain in the 1980s. She released one solo album, Shock Waves, in 1989, before taking a twenty-year break from the music scene. In 2011 she began performing again in The Sledge/Leather Project, which released a debut heavy metal album, Imagine Me Alive, in 2012. Continue reading Leather Leone (Bio)→
Chastain is a heavy metal project formed in 1984 by guitarist David T. Chastain and signed by Shrapnel Records.
The band was put together in 1984 by Mike Varney, president of Shrapnel for a David T. Chastain solo album. Varney had noticed the shred guitar ability of Chastain, member of the Cincinnati-based band CJSS and, at the same time, he wanted to create an output for the talent of young singer Leather Leone, formerly with the San Francisco band Rude Girl. The first band line-up included Leone, Chastain, CJSS bassist Mike Skimmerhorn and drummer Fred Coury, who would later play in Cinderella. In 1986, Chastain readily declared that “I could never work with these people on a full-time basis because they live all over the country (…). We just get together once a year, record an album and then go off and do our own things”.In the case of Chastain, he wrote music for CJSS and his solo albums, as well as producing other artists and managing his own record label.

This Saturday on The Women of Metal Radio Show on Insane Realm Radio The one and only Leather Leone joins Jayson Shell for an interview. We’ll be discussing her band Chastain‘s new LP “We Bleed Metal” and a whole host of other topics.
David Necro of CryptMagazine.com recently conducted an interview with CHASTAIN singer Leather Leone. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
CryptMagazine.com: How did the new [CHASTAIN] album (“Surrender To No One”) come together and what went into it?
Leather Leone: The new CD came about through increased conversation with [CHASTAIN guitarist David T.] Chastain. I value his knowledge and advice, I called him regularly when I was doing the SLEDGE LEATHER PROJECT. We eventually just fell into talking about making music again. As I say, the circle of life!
CryptMagazine.com: How is it working with David now compared to back in the ’80s?
Leather Leone: It’s the same intense, frustrating, glorious experience! Studio is not a favorite place of mine. I feel confined, too restricted! I prefer the stage. Chastain has certainly gotten used to dealing with attitude after our history. He gets the best out of me, for sure. It is quite the accomplishment when your creation is complete. As I always say, what a blessing!
CryptMagazine.com: What is the songwriting process now compared to back in the ’80s?
Leather Leone: We can now do all of our ideas and parts online. No longer necessary to be in the same room, which I miss! But other than that, it’s still hard work and dedication. The song remains the same!
CryptMagazine.com: How does this new album compare to the other CHASTAIN albums?
Leather Leone: As I listen to it, it seems like natural progression for us. Chastain and I absolutely have our sound! It’s hard for me to answer that honestly. It’s difficult for to me listen objectively when the CD is finished. From your feedback, it seems we have stayed classical while stepping forward. I intentionally did the vocals a bit dirtier than before. I wasn’t crazy about the vocal tone on “For Those Who Dare” and “Voice Of The Cult”. I wanted a much more basic, primal, sound. No layering, no doubling, no harmonies — just me and how well I was breathing that day. | <urn:uuid:8f3bc7e6-ca56-4f05-86a6-c2a446b1f1d3> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://womenofmetal.net/tag/leather-leone | 2018-10-15T10:13:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583509170.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20181015100606-20181015122106-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.960882 | 874 |

Knee-jerk sackings, expensive flops and an interfering owner have hampered the Blues, while the Gunners have been held back by a lack of spending and the sale of star players
By Ewan Roberts
Not so long ago, the prospect of Chelsea and Arsenal locking horns would have had fans salivating; the two sides dominated the Premier League, trading blows - domestically and in Europe - and titles. Arsene Wenger’s ‘Invincibles’ were stocked with flair and artistry, while Jose Mourinho’s Blue revolution turned the west London club into an efficient and brutal victory machine.
For a brief three-year period between 2003 and 2006, Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson had struggled to contend with the new-found financial clout of Chelsea, or the Thierry Henry-led north London juggernaut, while Manchester City, pre-Sheikh Mansour, were an insignificant speck on the football horizon, battling relegation after spells in the lower leagues.
But now, almost a decade after Roman Abramovich’s arrival, Manchester has re-established itself as the crème de la crème of English football. Sir Alex, as he has so often done, rebuilt his side, winning the title in four of the last six seasons - and is on course to do so again - while Roberto Mancini’s City are hot on the Red Devils’ heels, fighting to defend the trophy they lifted in dramatic fashion last May.
As such, Sunday’s London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal has become a rather less interesting sideshow. Neither side can win the Premier League, while any notions of this match deciding the best team in London have become obsolete since the rise to prominence of Tottenham. Spurs finished two places and five points ahead of Chelsea last season, and have a six-point cushion over the Gunners this year.
The Manchester duopoly has tightened its grip on the Premier League, leaving the once dominant London pair fighting to maintain their relevance and battling to cling onto a lucrative place in the Champions League. While Arsenal’s trophy-less decline has been steady, Chelsea’s fall from grace - the Lady Luck-aided Champions League swansong aside - has been more dramatic.
At this time of the year Chelsea would normally be fielding questions about their title aspirations, instead Rafa Benitez has been incessantly quizzed about his own future (or, as the interim pre-fix suggests, lack of) and the form and confidence of Fernando Torres. ‘Chelsea’ and ‘title’ have barely been whispered in the same breathe.
The Blues are already 13 points adrift of pace-setters Manchester United, and crashed out of the Champions League at the expense of Shakhtar Donestk and Juventus. Now Abramovich will watch his side take part in Europe’s second-tier competition for the first time since purchasing the club - with Chelsea having featured in the Champions League in nine successive seasons, escaping the group stages each time.
Chelsea’s hierarchy is a barely tangible mess, with the club’s Russian owner meddling with transfers and refusing patience in the pursuit of an attractive style of football. Carlo Ancelotti was sacked despite finishing second in the league and claiming a domestic double the year before, while his successor, Andre Villas-Boas, lasted just a few months. Even a long-waited Champions League crown couldn't prevent Roberto Di Matteo from being axed.
Villas-Boas was meant to overhaul Chelsea’s brand of play and revamp the Blues’ increasingly old and poisonous dressing room. But Abramovich did not back his young manager, pandering instead to Chelsea’s influential veterans and a €58m flop. The Russian’s insatiable and impatient thirst for his own Galactico-littered, Barcelona-style plaything achieved only uncertainty, while his habit of buying the players he wants, rather than the players Chelsea need, recurred once more.
For Arsenal, the opposite is true. Wenger appears increasingly reluctant to diverge from his pedestalled philosophy of developing young players and, despite the huge wealth of the club, the Gunners have largely operated at a net profit each year.
What little money that has been spent, has been invested poorly - which is perhaps the reason for Wenger’s trepidation in the transfer market. The likes of Lukas Podolski (€12m), Olivier Giroud (€12m), Andrey Arshavin (€16.5m) and Gervinho (€12m) have failed to ignite the Premier League despite their massive outlays.
The fact that the initial €19m fee spent on Santi Cazorla - more of an opportunistic purchase on Wenger’s part - represents Arsenal’s record buy is damning, especially when you consider that Manchester City spent over 50 per cent more on James Milner. The reliance, to the point of feverish worship, on Theo Walcott, which saw the club cave in to his astronomical wage demands, further highlights Arsenal’s lack of top talent.
Wenger’s willingness to sell his best players has also stunted the north London side. Robin van Persie joined Manchester United in search of long-awaited silverware, while Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy have all tasted success since leaving the Gunners. Arsenal’s bank balance may look rosy, but their position within the elite of English football is increasingly perilous.
Having fallen behind the Manchester clubs, and been caught up by Tottenham and Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal are scrapping simply to cling onto the hope that they can return to their once-dominant standing in English football.
But Chelsea have been here before under then-boss Mourinho, where the ‘Special One’ had to break the Arsenal-Manchester United stranglehold in order to truly announce his arrival. In that sense, Chelsea are back to square one, a shrewd managerial appointment away from challenging again, while Wenger will look to endure once more, waiting - hoping - for another golden generation to bloom. | <urn:uuid:d38a0090-ae4b-4084-832b-cf6da2be4aaa> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2013/01/18/3680737/arsenals-transfer-failures-chelseas-managerial-turmoil-takes?ICID=HP_TS_24 | 2015-03-03T20:35:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936463411.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074103-00048-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9491 | 1,273 |
Melius, Carl Frederick (1973) I. A theoretical investigation of the charge transfer process in alkali-atom alkali-ion collisions. II. Ab initio effective potentials for use in molecular calculations. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechTHESIS:11202009-152551437
PART I. The charge transfer processes occurring in collisions of alkali atoms with alkali ions have been studied theoretically using the molecular wavefunction approach. In Part A, we discuss the coupling process between electronic states as exemplified in collisions of Li + Na^+ and Na + Li^+. We find that the total transition process can be decomposed into a succession of simple two-state transition processes. The Σ-Σ two-state process can be described by a three-step process involving a coupling region, an uncoupled phase changing region, and a decoupling region. On the other hand, in the molecular wavefunction formulation, the Σ- II two-state transition involves a continuous coupling process. The resulting transition probabilities for Σ-II coupling differs from Σ- Σ coupling leading to different cross sections. In Part B, the molecular wavefunction approach is used to calculate the charge transfer cross sections of alkali-atoms and alkali-ions involving Li, Na, and K. PART II. We have investigated the method of effective potentials in replacing the core electrons in molecular calculations. The effective potential method has been formulated in a way which will simplify computations while preserving ab initio quality results. The effective potential is expressed in an analytic form which represents the actual ab initio non-local potential (as defined by the matrix elements for a given basis set). Furthermore, this analytic form permits efficient computations of the effective potential integrals by incorporating the properties of Gaussian basis functions. To minimize the number of basis functions required in the molecular calculations, we define a new ab initio effective potential derived from a modified IMF orbital whose core character has been removed. The effective potential method as formulated becomes a very strong but reliable tool in attempting calculations on very large molecules.

Brother’s Keeper; Page 21
Happy post-Labor day! I hope you guys had a good Labor day weekend! I spent mine hanging out at home and attending the Rennaisance Faire. It’s been a while since I went to the Maryland Renn faire so I enjoyed revisiting all my favorite shows and eating fried macaroni-and-cheese on a stick.
I also want to say we’re nearing the end of the chapter. We’ve got four more pages left and after that will be a one week break where I feature some fanart or sketches, then onward to Chapter 18! To be honest, I can’t believe I’m already at chapter 18… it seems almost like yesterday that I started this project and now I’ve got nearly 400 pages of comic done. No wonder my hand’s tired. XD
If you’re in the MD area and you love comics, particularly from the indie scene, I’ll be at SPX! I’m at table E10-11 with all my Spiderforest peeps so come and say hi! We’ll have comics from Snow by Night, Sombulus, Chirault, Altar Girl, StarCrossed Destiny, and many many more! And SPX is a great place to go if you’re tired of the action comic superhero fare and are looking for something different. | <urn:uuid:ecc42213-7fca-42cc-ae73-d0b98a54641d> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://lasalleslegacy.com/?comic=brothers-keeper-page-21 | 2017-03-29T11:10:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218190295.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212950-00262-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.925625 | 299 |

Well, here I go.....(wasn't going to)
I'm not a PC guy; far from it. However, I am offended as an MMA fan in hearing shit like this.
First off, NO you do not respect what they do because you stated they should be topless if they are fighting on PPV.
Second, there is more to MMA than simply playing rock 'em sock 'em robots. I'm sorry that you're not a very good grappler.
Third, the 125lb division has plenty of art, strategy, and knockouts.
Fourth, I don't know ANY women who flock around the TV for the Kardashians.
Fifth, tapping the women's viewer market is HUGE and if you don't understand that, well...I already realize you don't understand that Mr. Brown.
Sixth, that tattoo is horrible.
Seventh, these are professionals attempting to make a living. Your disparagement from a position of at least "some" sort of authority only serves to hurt them with certain folks who may have been on the fence. That's inexcusable in my book. I don't care if you approve of or enjoy the fights, I would hope AT MINIMUM you would appreciate that they're working their asses (clothed ones) off to provide for themselves and their family.

It looks like mercenaries are outlawed and are considered "unlawful combatants". Mercenaries are people who engage in combat for compensation.
Many states have armies where at least some of the servicemen are not drafted - they decide themselves that they want to serve but the state may motivate them by a reasonably high salary, neat life/health insurance, various other benefits such as early pensions or assistance with buying estate. Such servicemen are not outlawed - they are considered "lawful combatants".
What's the difference? Both categories seem to have some compensation for their service. Why are mercenaries illegal and state servicemen legal? | <urn:uuid:4edbc6ff-2a11-442d-9949-a5255dee47d4> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/21949/why-are-mercenaries-illegal-but-military-servicemen-serving-voluntarily-are-not | 2021-01-26T13:10:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610704799741.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20210126104721-20210126134721-00164.warc.gz | en | 0.975543 | 124 |

With real name Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, one of the forerunners of indigenous rap music, Phyno started making wave right from 2010 with the hit track ‘Multiply’ featuring M.I, Flavour, Mr Raw, and Timaya.
Phyno, therefore solidify his name in the mainstream after dropping his debut album.
BlaqBonez is infusing trap, Afropop into rap, carving a popular new school sound impact.
Erhiga Agarivbie popularly known as Erigga also refers to PaperBoi, 2 seconds, Eribaba, New Money is a Nigerian hip hop recording artist and songwriter.
Erigga has been on the conversation recently on the list of top best rappers.

Tobechukwu Melvin Ejiofor popularly known as Ill Bliss also called Oga Boss is a Nigerian hip-hop recording artist and songwriter, considered one of the best lyricists in the Nigerian music industry.
Illbliss won the Lyricist on the Roll category at the 14th edition of the Headies Award for his song ‘Country’ which was held on February 21, 2021.
Panshak Henry Zamani popularly known as Ice Prince is a Nigerian rapper, singer and songwriter, He gained prominence after his single “Oleku”, Brymo assisted track.
Also, Ice Prince hasn’t done so much in this decade like he used to do but still much around in the hip-hop conversation and the list wouldn’t be completed without adding his name.

For the past 10 years or so we have come to Prince Edward Island in late August. Sultry hot weather can be interspersed with cool and blustery periods, so we are certain to see the lights of John Deere tractors working late into the night to finish baling straw before the next rainy period. Marcy and I have said that PEI is not for everyone. Whether arriving by car ferry at Wood Islands or the 9-mile Confederation Bridge at Borden-Carleton, you will be met with potato fields as far as the eye can see. There are a lot of diamonds to be found here but you have to look for them, otherwise, you might just shrug and say this place looks like anywhere back home in the US Midwest. | <urn:uuid:b4a043c2-d9da-490b-8823-fee828660ed7> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://dougnmarcysphotojourney.com/index.php/2018/08/30/farm-forest-ocean/ | 2019-11-17T05:46:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668787.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117041351-20191117065351-00526.warc.gz | en | 0.956067 | 155 |

Differential solubility was one of the earliest methods developed for separating mixtures. Differential solubility depends on the fact that different substances have different solubility (ability to be dissolved) in different solvents. In this lab, we’ll examine the simplest example of differential solubility: separating a mixture of two compounds, one of which is freely soluble in water, and one of which is insoluble in water.

- filter paper (or white coffee filter)
- dry sand (3.0 g)
- sucrose (table sugar) (3.0 g)
- tap water
All of the specialty lab equipment and chemicals needed for this and other
lab sessions are available individually from Maker Shed or other laboratory
supplies vendors. Maker Shed also offers customized laboratory kits at special
prices, including the Basic Laboratory Equipment Kit, the Laboratory Hardware Kit, the Volumetric Glassware Kit, the Core Chemicals Kit, and the
Supplemental Chemicals Kit.
Although the chemicals used in this laboratory session are not hazardous, it is a matter of good laboratory practice to wear splash goggles, gloves, and protective clothing at all times. Be careful when heating the separated compounds in the microwave.
Substitutions and Modifications
- If you do not have a balance, you can substitute a set of kitchen measuring spoons, using a quarter teaspoon of sand (~ 3 g) and 3/8 teaspoon of sugar (~ 3 g). After you separate and dry the two compounds, measure the volume of each to determine if you ended up with as much as you started with.
- If you do not have evaporating dishes, you can substitute microwave-safe dessert plates, saucers, or similar flat dishes.
- If the sand is not completely dry, spread it in a thin layer and dry it in a microwave or conventional oven.
- You may substitute ordinary table sugar for the sucrose.
Paul Jones comments:
Make observations of the physical appearance of the sand and sugar. Does it change as you go through the process? This is a good rule of thumb to consider during any physical or chemical manipulation.
- If you have not already done so, put on your splash goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.
- Weigh about 3.0 g of dry sand and about 3.0 g of sucrose, record the masses on Lines A and B of Table 6-1, and add both of them to a test tube.
- Fill the test tube about 90% full with tap water, stopper it, invert it several times to dissolve the sucrose, and replace the tube in the rack.
- Weigh a piece of filter paper, record the mass on Line C of Table 6-1, and fan-fold the filter paper.
- Place the funnel atop an empty test tube in the rack and put the fan-folded filter paper into the funnel.
- Swirl the solution in the first test tube to suspend as much sand as possible and pour it into the filter funnel, capturing the filtrate in the second test tube.
- Transfer the filtrate from the second test tube to one of evaporating dishes, replace the tube in the rack, and put the funnel back in position.
- Add a couple mL of water (~ 1/8 tube) to the first test tube, swirl the contents to suspend any remaining sand in the test tube, and pour it through the filter funnel, capturing the sand on the filter paper and the filtrate in the second test tube.
- Repeat step 8 as many times as necessary to transfer all of the sand from the first test tube to the filter paper. Once you’ve finished, remove the filter paper and spread it out on the second evaporation dish to dry. Add the additional filtrate from the second test tube to the filtrate already present in the first evaporation dish.
- Allow the water to evaporate from both evaporating dishes. You can hasten drying by heating the dishes in a microwave oven at a low to medium setting until they are completely dry.
- Weigh the filter paper and sand and record the mass on Line D of Table 6-1. Subtract the mass of the filter paper to determine the mass of the sand, and enter that value on Line E of Table 6-1. Calculate the percent yield of sand for this operation and enter that value on Line F of Table 6-1.
- Place a weighing paper or weighing boat on the balance pan and tare the balance to read 0.00 g. Carefully transfer as much as possible of the sucrose from the second evaporating dish to the weighing paper, determine the mass of the sucrose, and enter that value on Line G of Table 6-1. Calculate the percent yield of sucrose for this operation and enter that value on Line H of Table 6-1.

All of the waste material from this laboratory can be disposed of with household waste.
Q1: After this procedure, you should end up with separate piles of sand and sucrose with masses that are the same as the initial masses. How closely do your experimental results correspond to the expected results? Propose an explanation for why the final masses of the sand and/or sucrose might be higher or lower than the starting masses.
Q2: You are mixing concrete, but the only sand available is heavily contaminated with salt, which weakens concrete. You have plenty of water available, but no means of filtering. How might you remove the salt from the sand?
Q3: You are presented with a mixture of two compounds, both of which are freely soluble in water. What might you do to separate these compounds using differential solubility? | <urn:uuid:976b8947-bd49-492a-9fef-1a5310aa9918> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://makezine.com/laboratory-61-differential-solubili/?like=1&source=post_flair&_wpnonce=5b12459335 | 2015-01-27T04:16:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122059136.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175419-00201-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.909108 | 1,454 |
Yesterday, Yahoo!’s photo-sharing service Flickr announced that they were now offering their pro users advanced statistics to help them track their photos.
The announcement has been largely well-received and the addition of statistics was one of the most-requested features according to Flickr.
However, those who are interested in using the new tool to track where their photos are used on the Web and check for violations of their copyright license will be sorely disappointed to know that this new system does not track images that are embedded into other sites.
Though Flickr has still introduced a useful and powerful system that will provide some much-needed insight for its pro members, it missed a golden opportunity to help its users, and the rest of the Internet, understand how the embedding feature is used.
Screwing the Pooch
The problem with Flickr is pretty straightforward. Even if you are comfortable with image hotlinking, as more and more people are, using an image hosting service such as Flickr takes away all control over it.
Since you don’t have access to the server or its logs, you can’t check to see who is using your content and how they are doing so. It is nearly impossible to check and see if the people who are using your images are attributing them correctly or using them in a manner that complies with your license.
Flickr, through this product, had the opportunity to put that information back into the hands of its customers. Since they run the service, it is at least physically possible for them to track embedding and display the information to its users. Since no other photo sharing service I know of does that, it would have put them head and shoulders above any of their competition.
However, for whatever reason, they did not. That seems especially strange considering that Flickr is designed as a repository for artistic work, something mentioned in their community guidelines, and is not just a generic image host.
Artists and photographers, it would seem, would have much more reason to track their content as it is embedded than those, like myself, who use photo sharing sites primarily to embed logos and screenshots.
Combine that with the linking requirement for embedded images and a strong partnership with Creative Commons and it seems only logical that there would be not only a heightened interest in embedding photographs, but an equally heightened interest in tracking and following those embeds.
This omission seems to fly in the face of those initiatives and would indicate that Flickr feels their own site really is the central offering, not the sense of sharing and community spirit.
Whether this is justified or not depends heavily upon statistics and information that only Flickr has and statistics that Flickr will now be holding on to, at least for some time to come.
The decision to limit stats tracking only to pages on Flickr’s site not only provides a very narrow picture of how photos on Flickr are being viewed, but misses out on a great opportunity to obverse, track and understand how the embedding function is being used.
If you want to allow hotlinking but wish to reserve some of your rights, such as attribution or non-commercial use, your best bet is to secure your own hosting account, perhaps on a cheap domain host such as DreamHost and use the server log analysis tools available to you there.
No matter what you do, be sure to follow the image fingerprinting tips I mentioned previously as no amount of hotlink monitoring, or even outright prevention, will stop people from saving the image and re-uploading it elsewhere. In those cases, you’ll need to use other techniques to track your content and fingerprinting can greatly help.
All in all though, Flickr missed a great opportunity to help their pro users not just completely track their images, but monitor their use and enforce their rights.
Hopefully, this is just an initial release of the system and that a future update may add this feature in later. However, Flickr has given no indication that this is case and it appears unlikely that it will be added in the future.
This is frustrating, but just the nature of the beast when you are entrusting third-party services such as Flickr with your precious content. | <urn:uuid:b63bd8d1-8cbd-49ef-b139-d958678865d4> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2007/12/14/flickr-misses-an-opportunity/ | 2021-06-22T23:01:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623488525399.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20210622220817-20210623010817-00484.warc.gz | en | 0.97067 | 853 |

The Mac App Store, Apple's attempt at making a computer software download service as easy as the App Stores on iPhone and iPad, is already pulling in about half as many downloads as the iPad.
Remember what an amazing, earth-shattering thing it was when Steve Jobs said buyers on a faulty iPhone 4 could return their defective device without paying a restocking fee? Well, apparently, the Earth just completely exploded.
There have now been more than a million "apps" downloaded from Apple's new online platform that makes finding a program for your computer as easy as finding an app for your phone. That didn't take long.
It looks like President Barack Obama might be a MacHead, because when given the opportunity to call out someone as the best example of a man who has achieved the American dream he picked out Steve Jobs over everyone else.
In an effort to get users to start using Apple's brand spanking new Mac App Store when it launches next month, the company will completely shut down its existing Web-based digital download store.
Downloading software programs for your Mac computer is about to get as easy as installing Angry Birds on your iPhone, as a completely functional "Mac App Store" is said to launch on January 6.
Customers can now purchase the latest Apple-branded computer, a monster 12-core system with two 2.66 GHz Intel Xeon "Westmere" processors, for around $5,000.
One of the very first computer drawing programs with a graphical user interface is now on display at the Computer History Museum, with the full source code available for all to see.
If you're waiting for a Mac that will come with a Blu-ray Disc drive, you may want to give up. Steve Jobs says the high-capacity format will quickly become useless. | <urn:uuid:f94a6f56-7fd4-4058-b336-c649f9fe64c8> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.tgdaily.com/tag/shopmac | 2015-05-28T19:26:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207929561.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113209-00282-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963148 | 365 |

Campaigners call for petrol review as 4p price rises are predicted
Do you want to save this article to read later? You need to be signed in for this feature
Fuel campaigners are calling for a full investigation by the OFT into petrol prices.
The price of petrol may be about to shoot up by 4p per litre, the Petrol Retailers’ Association (PRA) has warned.
This is because in the four weeks since Christmas, wholesale petrol prices have increased by 5p per litre. This is despite a month of arctic weather which has cut fuel demand across northern Europe and refinery chiefs complaining about a ”glut of petrol capacity”.
The group is calling for a full investigation by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) into petrol prices as it says there needs to be greater transparency when it comes to wholesale price rises.
Brian Madderson, chairman for the PRA, says petrol retailers are forced to put prices up, because of rising wholesale costs, when there is often little explanation from wholesale providers as to why prices are rising when demand for petrol is falling.
The AA is also urging the OFT to conduct a full review into this industry. Its president, Edmund King, says the upcoming pump price rise is due to the industry failing to pass on wholesale price savings.
Wholesale petrol prices increased in the first week of January, and were followed six days later by average pump prices of around 1p per litre. But King argues that falls in wholesale prices are never reflected in forecourt prices as quickly.
The OFT will announce this week if it'll go ahead with the review or not.
Price variations across the country
The price of petrol still varies across the country, with those in Newbury for example paying 5p more a litre for petrol at the supermarket than neighbouring town Reading.
In January, Yorkshire and Humberside remained the cheapest areas in the UK for petrol, with an average of 132.1p per litre at the pump while Northern Ireland was the most expensive at 139.7p.
How to save money on petrol
Although there is little we can do about rising wholesale prices, you can save money on petrol by making a few changes.
Websites such as petrolprices.com will show you the cheapest filling stations in your area. Getting rid of extra weight from your car, such as roof racks or unnecessary luggage will also cut costs as a 100kg load can reduce mileage by around 5 miles per gallon.
Our article on how to find the cheapest diesel and petrol prices is stacked full of more helpful tips to save you money on your vehicle. | <urn:uuid:45df44a5-6a51-45ce-aad2-1a045404136c> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | https://www.lovemoney.com/news/19446/campaingers-call-for-petrol-review-as-4p-price-rises-are-predicted | 2016-05-02T10:41:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461863352151.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428170912-00020-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964364 | 544 |
Vintage rugs tell a story. Not only a story about where it has been, but also a story of how it was made, and whose hands expertly crafted it.
The intricacy of the patterns and weaving techniques, the subtle nuances and the dramatic differences, the faded edges and sometimes ragged fringe that indicate a life well lived. And the best part: each one is completely unique.
I find myself drawn to the adventure of searching for the perfect vintage treasure. One like no other. I believe we all desire to live in a curated environment. A space that feels unique, and is a true reflection of ourselves. Our homes are our native habitats, where we awake each morning, and relax every night. It’s where we congregate with family and friends. It’s where we go to feel safe and to recharge.
People have been asking me how I put such a well rounded collection together, and the only thought I have been able to put words to is ‘I just know it when I see it’.
Here’s a few simple tips:
Start small. Literally. There are so many awesome vintage rugs out there that are doormat size. Find one you love, and bring it home. Try it in your Mudroom, or maybe at your Kitchen sink, or even in your Bathroom. If you can’t decide between two, buy them both and put one on each side of your bed. Just go for it! It will inevitably find a home.
Once you’ve gotten some excitement and confidence brewing, go a little bigger, and maybe buy a runner for your hallway. I have fallen head over heals in love, on numerous occasions, with super long vintage runners. I’m talking like 15’+ in length. Just make sure to throw a rug pad down first so it stays in place rather than wandering around your floor.
It is essential for our interior environments to nurture us, especially considering how much time is spent indoors these days. Why not surround ourselves only with things that we love?
If you need some guidance, we would love to help! Send us (or bring in) photos of your space, any fabric/color swatches you have, and let us help you find the perfect rug. Our collection merely scratches the surface of what is available to us.
While this has been a passion of mine for some time now, it is only recently that we have created a true collection of vintage goodies now for sale in our brick + mortar Shop as well as on our website.

I have been raising the concerns about the high rates of interest being charged by the Microfinance Institutions in my blogs. The scenario in AP is causing damage to the Financial Inclusion and Rural Credit (especially to poor, illiterate women in India). While all the good work being carried out by the PSBs is under scrutiny and working of the NBFCs have been streamlined for over a decade, a new issue cropped up in recent years that of MFIs.
Today's Business Line reveals the high rates (as much as 65% pa) being charged by AP based MFIs and interestingly Economic Times article is in favour of high rates. We need to wait and see what the Sub-Committee constituted by RBI is going to recommend even when AP Govt has gone ahead issuing an Ordinance last week. | <urn:uuid:e13d6718-4b98-4829-9c58-8050f6ff5c02> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://chowdarip.blogspot.com/2010/10/mfis-and-regulation.html | 2017-08-23T06:07:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886117874.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823055231-20170823075231-00069.warc.gz | en | 0.976825 | 164 |
Managing cash flow is the basics of running any business. This is certainly true for an online gaming business.
At the same time, any business manager at an online gaming operator will tell you that business partnerships with content vendors and other third parties are necessary to create new value and bring in new revenues.
Despite the need for advanced business tools to run an online gaming company, the existing practices, according to the CEO of billing vendor LogNet Billing, Kirill Rechter, are not strategic and create limitations on how an operator can grow its business.
“We see that most of the currently implemented systems are developed in-house and are supported by complex chains of manual approvals,” explained Rechter.
“Operators are always telling us it takes days and sometimes weeks for them to finish their monthly billing,” he said.
Manual processes are obviously prone to human error. This can cause problems not only to the accuracy of invoices, but also to the operator’s financial reports. Manual processes also create limitations on the accuracy and response times for quality assurance and security audits.
Rechter and his company know a thing or two about billing for online gaming companies. Two of the biggest names in the space – 888 and Playtech – are using the company’s MaxBill solution to streamline their billing activities and automate their partnership reconciliation processes.
“There is a strong need to make billing and partner management capabilities holistic,” added Rechter.
According to the company, its MaxBill system can improve the business agility and capacity of an online gaming operator by supporting any business model or parameter. The system can allow operators to enter into multilayered business agreements and tiered revenue sharing schemes. By automating processes instead of relying on manual calculations, operators using MaxBill need less resources to support their contracts.
Rechter explained that operators can create greater value by building a network of partners that have access to billing methods and can select the best combination of agreements and services.
He feels that billing for online gaming is still at an early stage and sees a lot of potential, especially considering all the real-time transactions that need processing.
Rechter admitted that billing for online gaming is more complex than the other industries that the company works in, although concluded that complex cases can be configured in a simple way. | <urn:uuid:5659d24d-8d77-452c-af2f-df02ea8e0925> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://maxbill.com/lognet-billing-sees-potential-in-simplifying-complex-billing/ | 2019-07-16T11:19:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524522.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716095720-20190716121720-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.941403 | 487 |
Melissa Dohme was stabbed 32 times by an ex-boyfriend. He always said he would kill her if she tried to leave. Melissa refused to give up and has a message for her attacker. “Here I am. I’m beautiful and you didn’t win.”
Melissa Dohme, 20, was a young woman with big plans and a bright future. She was studying to be a nurse, volunteering at a local hospital and planning a backpacking trip to Europe when a brutal attack changed the course of her life forever.
Trauma surgeons worked on Melissa for five hours before they could stabilize her. Because of the multiple stab wounds, her blood was leaving her body so quickly and couldn’t get to her brain and vital organs. She flat-lined twice.
Dr. Jeffery Johnson, a former trauma surgeon in Afghanistan, said he hadn’t seen such injuries since the battlefield.
Three hours after the attack, police found Robert Burton. His vehicle was found crashed into a building.
Burton, who had ingested a number of sleeping pills in a suicide attempt, was found slumped over the wheel with the car still running. The right wheel of his truck kept spinning until it ground through the pavement.
As the physical wounds began to heal, Melissa’s determination and inner strength helped her to heal emotionally. She learned to walk again and went on the backpacking trip to Europe she had planned before the attack.
At a hearing before the trial, in February 2013, Melissa had to recount and relive the terrifying night in which she almost lost her life. She says that Robert stared straight at her and it felt like his eyes were burning a hole right through her.
Robert Burton was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. During her impact statement, Melissa said, “When you choose to forgive those who hurt you, you forever take away their power and that’s what I’m doing today. Robert, I forgive you for coming to my house and attempting to murder me.”
Melissa was so grateful to everyone that helped save her life that fateful night that she made it her mission to meet and thank them all personally. Here she is with the team from Clearwater Fire and Rescue.
“I really wanted to meet everybody that I just had to say thank you. I felt so called to just find every person and let them know how much they mean to me,” Melissa said.
Melissa credits another domestic violence survivor with helping her come to terms with what happened. Audrey Mabrey’s husband bludgeoned her with a hammer and then set her on fire burning more than 80 percent of her body.
Audrey and Melissa now work together as advocates.They have teamed up to help other victims of domestic violence at Julie Weintraub’s Hands Across the Bay, an organization based in Clearwater, Fla. The nonprofit works to prevent domestic violence and help families in crisis.
Melissa has made a remarkable recovery since the attack that almost ended her life. She believes that she survived to help and inspire other victims of domestic violence to speak up and fight back.
“Audrey and I, we want to really change lives, we want to end domestic violence and end teen dating violence. Together feel like we really are an unstoppable force, you know, we’re ready to change the world,” Melissa said.
Three years after paramedic Cameron Hill saved the life of Melissa Dohme, who’d been stabbed 32 times by an ex-boyfriend, he proposed to her at home plate before a Tampa Bay Rays game Monday, May 11, 2015. | <urn:uuid:b6112da0-6457-441e-b31b-8247657ae8a1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/melissa-dohmes-brutal-attack-and-incredible-recovery/6/ | 2019-07-17T10:30:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525136.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717101524-20190717123524-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.980103 | 765 |

This year has been a year of totally awesome reads. I wanted to give a few shout outs to just a couple of these books along with a list of the books I got the pleasure to read. I totally recommend them all.
First up: Mustaches for Maddie, by Chad Morris and Shelly Brown Morris. Oh, my goodness, I don’t know where to start. I felt so many things while reading this book. I got chocked up several times and found myself laughing out loud other times. This is one of those books that will become a family favorite—and I can’t wait to start reading it to my girls. The voice throughout was incredible. Maddie’s character is funny, imaginative, and heart-stealing-good. I loved the themes, the trials, the triumphs, and the overall story. It was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful! My favorite moments are when we get to leave our everyday world and enter the imaginary world that only Maddie can see, from pretending to be a super ninja with alien powers to battling an even bigger monster (a brain tumor). This book had one of the strongest, emotional endings I have ever read. I loved it!
Second: Mysteries of Cove: Embers of Destruction, by J. Scott Savage. Kids fighting for freedom atop mechanical dragons—count me in! This was the third and final book of the Mysteries of Cove series and it was amazing! What I liked most about this book was how everything tied right back into the first book, creating the perfectly rounded story. My mind was blown by the imagery and imagination, the themes and conflicts—overall an awesome experience for any reader of any age. This series is now a family favorite we’ll read again and again!
I’ve had the pleasure to read so many more amazing books this year. My favorites always tend to be the ones geared toward middle-grade readers. I think it’s because I love clean fiction that reminds me of how awesome it is to be a kid. I also love clean suspenseful books. Below is a list of most of the books I had the opportunity to read (some of them I’ve read before but decided I needed to read again—they are that good). I hope you can at least pick up one of these books to start your new year of with.

This question regarding Empath Protection was asked recently.
Enjoy reading the word for word channeling I typed from Archangel Michael and the Seraphim Angel Healing Team for the following question…
How do I protect myself as an empath?
Message regarding Empath Protection by Archangel Michael and The Seraphim Angel Healing Team:
“As an Empath, you might feel weighed down by the negative emotions of others or even sometimes completely blocked from accessing your own intuition. On earth right now there is a tremendous amount of negative energy that Empaths feel and this continues to increase at a steady rate.
Your heart is in the right place as you are reading these messages here today. You’ve stumbled upon this website or this content for a Divine reason and purpose.
Your intentions are strong. If you intend and pray for the protective shield around your auric field to be stronger and protect you from the negative energies of the world, will your intentions do that?
For some, this helps immensely. For others, this may not be enough, due to the darker energies on earth having a stronger hold or influence around some humans.
These strongholds can be in the form of addictions or they can also be energetic contracts or cordings into a person’s energy field, their light body, which also penetrates into their physical body and can cause ailments and illness.
We are not saying this to frighten you, on the contrary, we are describing how the dark energies on earth (the inter-dimensional darker beings who are invisible to the human eye) work… as a way of informing you to their methods.
Why do they intrude upon humans like this?… is a good question to ask. The reason has to do with control, manipulation and their need to have an energy source to feed off of that keep them in this dimensional reality of your earth.
To protect yourself from such energies will become even more prevalent to you as time continues to unfold the truth of their intentions for humanity.
As negative, darker disturbing energies often times just want to disrupt the peaceful state of humans for a way to feed off of their light, what is most important for you to know about them is that they will try anything to stay invisible to humans.
This is why most humans believe that their disturbing thoughts are merely coming from their own thinking processes when in fact most often the root cause begins with darker energies interfering with that human, cording into darker seeds or fragments that have been inside them dormant for most of their life (planted there long ago by the dark).
These darker seeds have usually been placed there inter-dimensionally or when someone is very small with the intention of being activated at a later date, for a way of control or manipulation of the individual. Think of some of your political leaders and how their behavior doesn’t make any moral sense.
Unfortunately, this has been going on well over 1000 years here upon this planet.
Does merely intending the auric field have a stronger shield of protection work? Most often it will help to a certain degree, however what about the darker fragments within the individual that can be accessed inter-dimensionally by these darker beings because that’s where the access point begins.
This is why we have brought through Divine interdimensional Angelic healing methods through Kimberly so that Empaths seeking more assistance can get the darker fragments and seeds removed so that the access point can be removed and healed one by one. This prevents the darker beings of light from accessing the individual through each specific darker fragment (dark seed).
The first of these tools that help bring a deeper level of protection is the Archangel Crystal Light Portable Protection Unit for Empaths and the Archangel Crystal Light Mini Protection Unit for Empaths.
The second effective tool we brought through Kimberly is the weekly Angel Healing Sessions for Empaths. Through these available options we are able to not only provide a higher level of protection for the Empath, but this gives us the ability to do the darker fragment (dark seed) removals so that when each vulnerability is removed and healed the dark has fewer access points to be able to trigger and cord into on an inter-dimensional level. Therefore, with each one healed the individual becomes stronger in light and more resilient over time to being accessed by the dark so easily.
Thirdly, we’d like to add that the Archangel Michael House Clearing and Blessing is of great importance to use weekly or even daily in order to remove the access poiwithinhtin your living space and place a stronger shield of protection around your home or office the more you use it.
Through these available options we are able to not only provide a higher level of protection for the Empath, but this gives us the ability to do the darker fragment (dark seed) removals so that when each vulnerability is removed and healed the dark has fewer access points to be able to trigger and cord into on an inter-dimensional level. Therefore, with each one healed the individual becomes stronger in light and more resilient over time to being accessed by the dark so easily.
The more of these darker fragments that are cleared up, the more that individual is protected and shielded from the negative energies on earth and the more they can feel, hear and sense their higher self’s truth for continued accurate guidance.
Again, all that was mentioned today is for the purpose of sharing more knowledge of how to protect oneself against the lower negative energies that exist upon your planet.
Remember to listen from within to the truth of what your higher self is sharing with you. There is much illusion and distortion energy on earth and it is increasing and will continue to do so unfortunately.
Finding a way to connect to the truth of your soul will be key for you, along with deciphering what is truth versus what is distortion or confusion energy that is coming from the darker elements who do not intend good for humanity.
It is of great honor and privilege to bring through these messages for you so that when the time is right you will remember the most important parts of the messages as you are ready to.
We love you infinitely, always and forever,

The property has new heat new electric new kitchens and bathrooms. First and second floor are rented and completed and the third unit will be completed prior to closing.

Government employment and the 2001 recession
November 16, 2004
Total government employment grew during the 2001 recession.
Local government gained 33,000 jobs per month during the recession, split equally between the education and noneducation components. Local education is the largest component within government, as shown in the chart, and typically adds a noteworthy number of jobs each year.
During the 2001 recession, State government added 16,000 jobs per month. Education accounted for 90 percent of State employment growth during this period.
Opposing employment trends in Federal Government resulted in flatness in that government component during the 2001 recession. Small employment declines in the U.S. Postal Service offset small gains elsewhere in the Federal sector.
These data are from the Current Employment Statistics program, a monthly survey that provides industry data on employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonfarm payrolls. To learn more about recent trends in government employment, see "Employment in the public sector: two recessions’ impact on jobs," by Julie Hatch, in the Monthly Labor Review, October 2004.

AT&T iPad Scam, Southwest Airlines, Walmart / DHL Shipping Text, and MetaMask Phishing – Top Scams This Week
We’ve found a large number of phishing scams that you should watch out for, including ones relating to AT&T, Southwest Airlines, Walmart, DHL, and MetaMask. Would you have been able to spot all the scams?
Impersonating famous brands and companies, scammers will send out phishing links (usually via text message or email) and try to entice you into opening them with various lies. As seen below, these phishing links will lead to online survey pages that state you can claim a gift by filling out an online questionnaire.
AT&T iPad Scam
Think you’ve won an iPad in an AT&T weekend promotional campaign? Don’t get too excited yet; it’s a SCAM! As we’ve reported several times before, posing as AT&T, scammers try to trick you with a fake giveaway campaign and convince you that you can claim a gift via the link they’ve sent:
- At&T Weekend Promo: iPad Pro ON US Color: Space Gray Storage :512GB <URL> AT&T Telecom
The attached link will take you to a fake AT&T online survey page that features an Apple iPad Pro as a reward. Scammers promise that you can claim the gift after completing the questionnaire:
These (phishing) pages are designed to record any sensitive information you enter. You could end up exposing personal details such as your credit card credentials (as shown in the sample below). With them, scammers can steal your money and commit other crimes such as identity theft. Don’t let them!
Shield Yourself from Phishing Scams Using Trend Micro Check
Trend Micro Check is a browser extension and mobile app for detecting scams, phishing attacks, malware, and dangerous links — and it’s FREE!
After you’ve pinned the Trend Micro Check extension, it will block dangerous sites automatically! (Available on Safari, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge.)
You can also download the Trend Micro Check mobile app for 24/7 automatic scam and spam detection and filtering. (Available for Android and iOS).
Check out this page for more information on Trend Micro Check.
Southwest Airlines Survey Scam
“Congrats! You’ve received a Southwest Airlines reward!” Does this sound too good to be true? Well, then it probably is:
This is not the first time that scammers have misused the name of Southwest Airlines to exploit people. If you take the bait and click the button, it will take you to a fake Southwest Airlines online survey page that’s designed to steal your information. Be careful!
Phishing links will also take you to fake login pages that collect all your login data and more detailed personal information.
Walmart Shipping Scam
Walmart is one of the most impersonated brands in the world. This week, scammers falsely claimed that you need to confirm the status of your package delivery via an attached link:
- Reminder for XXXXX: Can you please confirm if this stuck deIivery belongs to you or we sent it back to the sender: <URL>
The link will lead to fake a Walmart tracking page:
In this case, the fake page instructs you to schedule the delivery of a gift. Then it requires you to submit personal data and credit card details. Of course, these credentials will end up in the scammers’ hands and be used for their own good. Don’t fall for it!
DHL Phishing Email
Speaking of fake shipping notifications, another commonly impersonated company in these types of scams is DHL. Once again, scammers try to trick you into tracking a package via the embedded button:
Scammers’ goal is to get you to the phishing page (fake DHL login page) where they can steal your personal information. Watch out!
MetaMask Wallet Phishing
We’ve written about fake MetaMask emails many times before. Falsely claiming that there are security issues with your MetaMask wallet, scammers prompt you to click the attached link to verify your account:
As we’ve stressed repeatedly, the link will take you to a fake MetaMask login page that requests for your seed phrase, or recovery phrase — the ultimate key to your crypto wallet. Below are screenshots of a sample FAKE MetaMask site and the LEGITIMATE one:
If you were to fall for the scam and enter your recovery phrase, scammers can take control of your crypto wallet and steal everything. Beware!
Check out more cryptocurrency scams and cybersecurity tips here.
Protect Yourself from Phishing Scams
- Pay close attention to URLs — are they legitimate?
- Free gifts are always a major red flag.
- Double-check the sender’s mobile number/email address. Go to the official website/application instead!
- Never click on links or attachments from unknown sources. Use Trend Micro Check to surf the web safely (it’s FREE!).
- Change your password as soon as possible if you’ve already clicked on a suspicious link. Consider using our online Password Generator (also FREE!) to create strong, tough-to-hack passwords.

Tax Planning, Preparation and Tax Problem Resolution
+ data security
+ competitive pricing
+ continuing improvements in client service
= Client Satisfaction and Confidence
Aurora Financial Services, LLC is the logical choice for tax preparation, tax planning and tax problem resolution
AFS is a family-owned business, located here in Aurora, CO dedicated to providing tax services to individuals, families and small businesses, including sole proprietorships, S and C Corporations and partnerships.
Why choose Aurora Financial Services?
- Because we have what it takes to provide the tax services you need and are committed to providing them over multiple generations.
- Because we have been in business since 2004 and have grown every year since as our satisfied clients keep returning (even those that move out of state continue to utilize our services).
- Because we are rated as a Gold Star business by the Better Business Bureau.
- Because we guarantee our work.
Commitment to education – we haven’t memorized the tax code. Most of what we see each year is something we have seen before but for that 10% that is new or unfamiliar, we rely on 2 things; a commitment to continuous education in tax code and the ability to conduct research specific to your case.
Technology is important and becomes increasingly more so each year. It simplifies tax preparation and eliminates arithmetical errors. Technology, used for recordkeeping, messaging, client and preparer education, data search and gathering, records storage, automated worksheet calculations, and untold other applications is a large part of what allows us to provide the services we provide at a very competitive cost.
Data security is something we take extremely seriously. Our office practices meet or exceed IRS recommendations for securing client information. We know the concerns our clients have regarding potential for abuse if their personal data were to be released into the public domain and we work very hard to ensure that any potential points of unauthorized data release from our office have been and continue to be eliminated.
Competitive pricing – We have never had to apologize for our fees. Our typical tax preparation charges are typically around half or less of what the national chains charge and look even better when compared to CPA offices. We can maintain low prices for several reasons; low overhead, reliance on referrals instead of costly advertising, other services that provide income streams and technology that helps reduce labor cost.
We strive to provide better service to our clients each year. We ask for input and continuously seek to improve our processes wherever and whenever necessary to provide a product that our client understands and trusts and utilizes for an improved financial condition. The goal has always been for each and every client to pay the least amount of tax that is legally possible for their situation.
We believe in proactive services. We don’t want to simply passively record the taxable effects of financial transactions each year. We want to educate and inform and encourage our clients to seek out tax advice before those decisions are made that often result in higher than anticipated tax bills.

) -- 04/03/2011 -- Demand for biometric systems is growing at a fast pace as many government organizations and financial institutions are adopting this technology across the globe. It is rapidly being used in areas, such as defense, aviation, and criminal and civil identification. A rise in identity thefts and terrorist attacks are the key reasons for the growth in this market. Besides, the systematic replacement of existing passports and adoption and the issue of new e-passports represent an important market for contactless technology.
According to our research report “Global Biometric Forecast to 2012”, global biometric market will grow at CAGR of around 23% during 2011-2014. As the technology continues to improve, the prices continue to decrease and consumers are becoming more accustomed to use it as an efficient way to prove their identity and make secure transactions. Besides, increasing adoption of biometric system across government organizations and financial institutions is fueling the growth in the industry for the past few years.
According to our research, the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)/live scan market was estimated to account for the largest chunk of the global biometrics market at the end of 2010 followed by fingerprint and face recognition. Talking about the applications of biometrics, civil ID and criminal ID were estimated to be the top two major applications in 2010 and the same trend is expected to continue in near future as well. This is possibly due to the increasing usage of biometrics in ID cards, passports, PAN cards, etc. | <urn:uuid:1f449c45-310c-461e-a2e8-cf462d7f9e65> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://todaysworldnewsinfo.blogspot.com/2011/04/global-biometric-market-all-set-to.html | 2017-10-22T19:09:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825436.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022184824-20171022204824-00505.warc.gz | en | 0.952975 | 308 |

Police: Distracted driver crashes car into Concord home
Operator was looking at cellphone, police say
A car driven by a distracted motorist struck a home in Concord Sunday night.
Officers said the car went off the road and plowed into a house on Ridge Road just before 8 p.m. Nobody was hurt.
Firefighters arrived to make sure the house is safe.
“Basically, just to make sure everything is secure, secure the utility, electric, water – make sure nothing is going to come down on anybody while they remove the vehicle,” said Concord fire Capt. Derek Kelleher.
The crash remains under investigation.
Police said the driver was looking at a cellphone during the crash. | <urn:uuid:c9a8bf19-299a-4373-9309-f80f24f30aad> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://www.wmur.com/article/police-distracted-driver-crashes-car-into-concord-home/5269117 | 2018-04-23T09:19:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125945940.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20180423085920-20180423105920-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.981576 | 148 |
Singing Competitions: Junk food for Connection Cravers
Recently I was asked by a highly talented, international yoga teacher to create a cultural workshop for singing. She is a global citizen, where she was born, grew up, and finally now lives are three very different places. She is raising her child multilingual (including sign language) because she and her husband speak different languages. Her heart has roots in several places on this globe. When asked what her dream course would look like, she said that she missed the type of connection that singing with other people had brought her in her country of birth and wanted to have the opportunity to sing because it brought her joy.
‘Excellent’ I thought- that sounds like fun! She wasn’t the first person to ask me to do vocal coaching with her, but she was the first person to ask me to build a singing course! Until then, people wanted to learn to sing, so they could become famous or act like the idols and superstars on television. That wasn’t something I could emulate as a teacher. As much as I love many of the individual performances that happen on these shows, I do consider it a kind of musical junk food. It may sparkle with flavor, but doesn’t leave the watcher with much nutritional value.
In this consumer age, our cultural goods have been capitalized to have commercial value. This often leaves people feeling like they will never be good enough to sing in public or connect with art on a personal level. People compete and there can only be one winner. Judges justify who is worthy and who needs to go home. Industries make their profits and individuals hold art, music and other cultural good as something separate from themselves. This keeps us disconnected from the true value of our culture and cultural goods. Experts agree that the purpose of culture is not to exclude anyone, but rather to include.
But this yoga teacher was clear; she wanted to have a place where she could access culture through singing. She wanted to feel connected. So, with this need as the inspiration, I developed a Holistic Singing Workshop. The aim of this workshop was to offer a space where connection could be possible. Connection to what exactly? Well, that depended on each participant and what they brought with them. But in the end, the power of singing, not fame and competition became the focus. The sound vibrations which take place when your body is the vessel, the sound itself and how it travels in its environment, the acceptance by other group members and a combination of many voices together are all things which are overlooked on TV shows about singing. So, rather than connecting with fame and fortune and identifying art as something outside ourselves, this workshop started to help people to connect with themselves and with others around them.
Beginning with the basics in vocal instrument care, melody and bass, and rhythmic connection, our weekly meetings quickly became a ritual of JOY. Even when the hardships of real life were present, it was amazing how quickly we found relief, empowerment and connection in our work together. We sang about our dreams, joys, and woes and even provided bass lines to make everything sound beautiful. The overwhelming feedback was that as a result of this experience, the students felt an increased sense of community, not just in the classroom but also in their daily lives.
I started out providing a vocal service to a small group of friends, in the process, I stumbled upon a ritual of JOY where everyone involved felt connected and strong. I am excited to continue offering these Holistic Singing Workshops because it is an experience I think most of us could use; a dose of empowering connection.

NMSU Students To Survey Historic Areas In Mesilla Park
Students from New Mexico State University (NMSU) will survey the historic homes and structures of Mesilla Park beginning the end of September and continuing through the fall. The survey is a semester project for a course in historic preservation taught by Dr. Jon Hunner, professor of history at NMSU.
Over the next two months, students will walk the neighborhood of Mesilla Park, photographing buildings, talking with residents, and gathering information about the history of the community. Using this data, a nomination will be prepared to place Mesilla Park on the state and national registers of historic places as a significant district.
Several workshops and meetings about the survey were held over the summer, and residents interested in participating in the survey of Mesilla Park should contact Dr. Hunner at 575/646-2490 or email@example.com | <urn:uuid:6e35dcaa-5d88-4e78-97d2-fdef1ff2735f> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://krwg.org/post/nmsu-students-survey-historic-areas-mesilla-park | 2016-10-25T10:56:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720026.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00398-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926376 | 187 |

We were there most of the weekend EXCEPT for Saturday as we took a drive out to Santa Monica (via Route 66 of course) – but the attendance on Friday was very low…
VICTORVILLE • The Route 66 International Festival 2012 attracted a little more than 5,000 people during this past weekend, disappointing organizers and businesses who expected a much bigger turnout.
Some of them blamed the above-100-degree heat for low attendance, while others criticized a lack of organization and marketing.
The festival attracted about 800 paid visitors Friday and 4,000 on Saturday at the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds, where a gourmet food-truck show, a classic car show, live entertainment and military vehicle exhibits took place, according to Vince Sapina, the festival’s media and PR chair. About 350 people attended a mixer and tours in Barstow on Thursday.
After the Daily Press ran an article in April stating that Sapina’s co-chair estimated 6,500 visitors and 40 vendors, Sapina asked for a correction saying he was expecting 30,000 attendees and 90 vendors.
Marc Melloul, general manager of the Green Tree Inn, which hosted banquets during the weekend, said his hotel saw a 30-percent increase in the number of reservations.
Paul Chassey, a volunteer at the California Route 66 Museum in Old Town, said the museum saw more visitors during the weekend than usual.
“I had a great time,” Chassey said. “I was really impressed by the food trucks.”
But Carmen Andalon, sales and catering manager at the Ambassador Hotel in Victorville, said she didn’t feel any positive impact from the festival despite offering coupons and special rates. She thinks the festival should have been publicized more.
“I was looking forward to this event, to get more business from it,” Andalon said. “I get more revenue from a small wedding in town.”
People involved in the festival gave conflicting accounts as to how Victorville was chosen among other Route 66 California cities to host this event in the middle of August. The festival is held each year in one of eight states the Mother Road runs through.
The festival committee initially announced in December that the Green Tree Inn was chosen to host a classic car show during the festival with food and merchandise vendors. But after going through a few leadership changes, Sapina took over in March.
“Maybe we could have moved it down the hill, but we thought Victorville needed this,” Sapina said. “I think we built a good event. I just think that the heat wave and local demographics made it difficult. I think we did a great job and want to thank all the volunteers.”
The festival hosted the first gourmet food-truck show in the Victor Valley.
Gourmet food trucks are different from traditional food trucks as onboard chefs cook and serve creative dishes such as a lobster corn dog. These trucks have gained popularity in recent years, especially in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
“The expectation was far greater than the turnout,” said Rick Singerman, who owns the Maui Wowi LA smoothie truck.
Maui Wowi was among 15 vendors that attended the festival on Friday when there was hardly any line at each truck. Singerman said he lost money that day driving up from Los Angeles County.
“I don’t know why it was scheduled for Friday and Saturday and not Saturday and Sunday,” Singerman said.
Sapina said he sat down with the vendors Friday night and told them he would cancel additional trucks coming Saturday to avoid competition. Singerman said he returned Saturday and barely made a profit.
Keith Kahn, president of Inland Empire Gourmet Food Trucks, which organized the gourmet food-truck show, said he booked too many trucks based on the organizers’ estimate. The Inland Empire Gourmet Food Trucks offered to refund booking fees for Friday to the gourmet food trucks.
“If we only had 10 trucks on Saturday, we probably would have had 10 happy trucks,” Kahn said.
Daniel Tate helped organize military vehicle exhibits, which he said attracted 2,500 visitors.
“I think what they should have done is work with local nonprofits and they could have made it more attractive to a lot more people. They have a huge following,” Tate said.

The purpose of this sensor is to measure the speed of the air flow exiting household air ducts. The motivation behind this airflow sensor is to develop a low-cost anemometer for household usage. With readily available parts, we can build an anemometer with an analog output voltage that is approximately linear to incident air flow.
The theory behind this airspeed sensor involves counting generated voltage pulses and converting the pulses into a useful voltage output. We generate voltage pulses by means of a reed switch, a magnet, and a wind sensing apparatus, such as a cup and hub assembly. Since a reed switch is a switch that is toggled by a magnetic field, we can use a magnet to close the switch repeatedly to generate voltage pulses. By mounting a magnet onto the sensing apparatus, we can generate voltage pulses from the rotation of the wind sensor. For example, a typical cup and hub assembly has spokes that lead out to the cups. We can mount a magnet onto a single spoke of the assembly, such that as the sensor turns, the magnet will also rotate at a regular frequency. A reed switch can be positioned close enough to the spokes so that the magnet can close the switch as it rotates. The reed switch must be attached to a voltage source to generate the voltage pulse when the switch closes. The voltage pulses can be converted to an analog output voltage by means of a frequency-to-voltage converter. When viewed as a black box, a frequency-to-voltage converter outputs a voltage that is linearly proportional to an input frequency. These devices are produced from a wide range of analog device manufacturers, and are freely available as samples.
A. Design Issues
The design of this sensor was inspired by the “Homemade Easter Egg Anemometer” from Otherpower.com. The webpage details how to use Easter egg halves to construct a cheap and relatively accurate anemometer.
We loosely base our design on the “Easter Egg Anemometer” coupled with some significant changes. We use a DC ball bearing fan without its internal copper coils rather than a hub and cup assembly to detect the presence of airflow. We do this for two reasons: the ease of placement over air vents and the wide availability of DC fans. Furthermore, we have a considerably smaller voltage supply. The original design uses a 9V battery to supply the system. However, our sensor is restricted to a stepped-up 5V supply from the wireless sensor node and an accompanying voltage step-up circuit. Finally, we sample the voltage output of the frequency-to-voltage device using the ADC of the wireless sensor, instead of attaching the output to an ammeter.
To ensure the same basic functionality as the Easter Egg Anemometer, we mount a reed switch extending to the center of the DC fan and glue two magnets to the center hub. The magnet and reed switch are used exclusively for the generation of voltage pulses.
B. Frequency-To-Voltage Converter
To convert the stream of voltage pulses to a DC output voltage, we utilize a frequency-to-voltage converter, the LM2917, from National Semiconductor. According to National, this device will output 1V per 67Hz of input frequency given a 9V supply voltage. Since we are restricted to a 5V supply, the produced output voltage of the LM2917 will deviate from the factory calibration. Therefore, we must perform our own calibration for the sensor.
C. Charge Pump
To produce a 5V supply voltage, we use a 5V DC charge pump, the ST619LB from STMicroelectronics. This device produces a regulated 5V output from the 2.5V reference voltage of the mote.
D. Voltage Inverter
An important aspect to note about the LM2917 (8 pin version) is that it can only measure an AC signal with a negative swing. For instance, a sine wave between 0V to 1V would not produce an output voltage from the LM2917. Thus, it is not possible to send positive voltage pulses to the LM2917 to receive an output. To produce a negative swing for the AC input signal, we use the ADM8660 from Analog Devices as a voltage inverter. As a result, the ends of the reed switch are attached to a positive 5V supply and a negative 5V supply. Also, we place an LED at one end of the reed switch to prevent the switch from being welded shut due to current spikes.
The figure above illustrates the architecture of the sensor. The design flow starts with the two AA batteries powering the mote. The mote then provides a regulated 2.5V supply from its analog VCC pin (Pin 1). The DC charge pump steps up 2.5V to 5V to supply three other components. First, it supplies power to the frequency to voltage IC. Second, it feeds into the input of the voltage inverter. Finally, it attaches to one end of the reed switch. The output of the voltage inverter attaches to the other end of the reed switch. One end of the reed switch connects to the input of the frequency-to-voltage IC. The output of the frequency-to-voltage IC connects back to the ADC input of the mote.

A. Fan Sensor
The figure below demonstrates the construction of the sensor fan. It is a typical 80mm, ball-bearing, computer case fan with its internal metal coils removed. Thus, the fan can spin freely without cogging, the resistance from the internal metal coils and magnets. It is important to note that sleeve fans do not work as well for this application. Sleeve fans with its internal sleeve removed do not allow the fan to spin as freely as modified ball bearing fans.
The hub of the fan has 2 magnets mounted approximately equidistant from each other in the center. We used an L-bracket to mount the reed switch such that it extends toward the center of the fan. The reed switch can be mounted with any type of durable adhesive. Most importantly, the reed switch must be close enough to the magnets for the sensor to operate correctly.
B. Circuit Schematic
Since we operate the frequency-to-voltage converter at a lower supply voltage, we must calibrate the sensor ourselves. The calibration setup is shown in the figure below.
The collection of clamps represents a layering of three components: a reference DC fan, a hot wire anemometer, and the sensor fan. On the very bottom, we used a 24V rated DC fan to generate reference airflow. Above that, we situated a hot wire anemometer to obtain a reference airspeed reading. On top, we placed the sensor fan. The figure below illustrates how this is done. The hot wire anemometer that we used was the HHF42 from Omega. It is important to note that the hot wire anemometer may not be necessary for this calibration. The instrument provides a higher degree of accuracy, but is very expensive. Using a less expensive handheld anemometer as a reference may produce similar calibration results. However, we performed the calibration with only the hot wire anemometer.
For calibration, we increased the reference fan voltage from 10V to 24V and examined the output voltage of the sensor at each step. We then plotted the relationship between sensor output voltage and reference airspeed, as shown in the figure below. From the plot, we see that the relationship between the output voltage and airspeed is approximately linear for the airspeed range that we are interested in. | <urn:uuid:9b2113b2-7630-4f4e-9f04-e9b215466199> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://dr.berkeley.edu/REM/wiki/index.php/Airflow_Sensor | 2013-05-23T20:43:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703788336/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516112948-00017-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.892822 | 1,671 |
Southampton FC was founded in 1885 and play their home games at St. Mary's Stadium. The stadium opened in 2001 and has a capacity of 32589, which makes it the biggest stadium in the south of England, outside of London. The stadium was built to replace 'The Dell', where Southampton played between 1898 and 2001. The current manager is Claude Puel, who is managing in the Premier League for the first time this season after successful spells with Monaco, Lille, Lyon and Nice in his native France. Southampton's nickname is 'The Saints', and the team plays in red shirts with thin white stripes, red shorts, and red and white socks.
"The Saints mean a lot to me. Don't forget that I was with Southampton from nine years of age until I was 17, so they are always going to be a club close to my heart. And I still have so many close friends on the south coast." Gareth Bale, ex-Southampton player.
Southampton have played in the Premier League for a total of 16 seasons, they have been relegated once, in 2004-05, but were promoted back to the Premier League in 2011/2012. They reached the Premier League after back to back promotions from the third and second divisions of English football. In each of those promotion seasons, Rickie Lambert (now with West Brom) was Southampton's top scorer, before moving to Liverpool. Until 2014/15 when they finished 7th, the highest Southampton had ever finished in the Premier League was 8th place in 2002-2003 and 2013-2014 but they did finish 2nd in the league in 1983-84, which is their highest ever finish in the top division. Southampton have won one major trophy in their history; they won the FA Cup in 1976. In the final, they beat Manchester United 1-0 in one of the greatest ever FA Cup shocks, as Southampton were a second division team at that time.
Southampton’s strongest rivalry is with Portsmouth, which is another city very close to Southampton on the south coast of England. The first league game between Southampton and Portsmouth was played in 1920 and won 2-0 by Southampton. There probably won't be another league match for some time, as Portsmouth are currently playing in League 2, which is the fourth level of English football.
The club has been nicknamed “The Saints” since the club was founded in 1885. This is because it was founded as a church football team and was originally called St Mary’s Young Men’s Association. The club was renamed Southampton F.C. after the club won the Southern League in 1897, but the nickname has endured.
In 2016/17, Southampton finished 8th in the Premier League, after another strong season in the Premier League. Southampton also reached the final of the League Cup where they lost 3-2 to Manchester Utd in a thrilling match. Charlie Austin was top scorer with 9 goals, but Manolo Gabbiadini (6 goals) made a big impact when he signed for the club in January from Napoli. Southampton will, once again, have a new manager at the top this season. Mauricio Pelligrino has arrived after successful spells with Alaves in Spain's La Liga and in his native Argentina with Independiente. This summer, Southampton have broken their transfer record by buying Mario Lemino from Juventus for £20 million. Southampton fans will be hoping for big things from the midfielder from Gabon.
Prediction 2017/18: 9th
Key player: Mario Lemino

If you thought director Noah Baumbach was turning all populist after While We’re Young, take heart! At my recent screening of Mistress America, five people walked out within the first twenty minutes, apparently put off by hilariously flawed characters who talk to themselves, but at each other, without mercy.
It’s a charming, wonderfully offbeat, fast-paced dialogue fest, and a perfect vehicle for Greta Gerwig, who co-wrote the script with Baumbach.
Gerwig stars as Brooke, a busy New Yorker who seems happy to get a visit from her soon-to-be stepsister Tracy (Lola Kirke – impressive), an 18 year-old student at a nearby college. Brooke bombards Tracy with stories of her exciting life and social calendar (“He’s the kind of person I hate – except I’m in love with him!”), instantly gaining an admirer. Tracy’s reserved demeanor is no match for hurricane Brooke, and soon Tracy and two friends are joining Brooke on a mission to persuade her rich old boyfriend Dylan (Michael Chernus) into bankrolling her plan for a new restaurant/hair salon/cool place to be combo.
The gang ends up crashing a party hosted by Dylan’s wife (loves these names) Mamie-Claire (Heather Lind). Mamie-Claire may or may not have stolen Brooke’s idea for a line of t-shirts, and the visit descends into a madcap frenzy of incidents and allegations. As characters move throughout the rooms of Dylan’s lavish house, Baumbach stages it to perfection, much like a high school play directed by a coked-up Woody Allen.
Underneath the inspired insanity, though, lies a love letter to the written word. Tracy desperately wants to join her school’s literary club, and she uses Brooke as the basis for a short story that she hopes will be accepted into their magazine.
As the characters’ continue their rapid fire, often non-sequitur dialogue, it’s offset with Tracy’s voiceover reading of the measured, wonderfully flowing prose of her short story. This not only puts a spotlight on the art of writing, it cleverly reinforces the film’s undercurrent of self-delusion.
Brooke lives to define herself, as Tracy so eloquently puts it, as “a beacon of hope for lesser people,” regardless of how well her definition aligns with reality. “Lesser” people’s descriptions aren’t as welcome, a fact beautifully illustrated by a scene where Brooke is recognized by an old high school classmate. Gerwig is a true wonder in the role, combining comic timing with the depth needed to make Brooke sympathetic no matter how much you want to dislike her.
Will Mistress America be the movie where the masses (minus those five party poopers from my screening) get hip to Gerwig’s unique talents?
Let’s hope so. | <urn:uuid:e218b7fd-8f8a-4878-b719-d019af0d802c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://maddwolf.com/new-in-theaters/a-beacon-of-hope-for-lesser-people/ | 2017-11-20T00:29:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805881.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119234824-20171120014824-00414.warc.gz | en | 0.939378 | 634 |

Sit at your feeder, or go outdoors and watch birds in flight. The birds will be in motion but will return again and again to familiar angles. John Muir Laws suggests “closing your eyes to clear your brain, then open them for a moment like the shutter of a camera, then close your eyes once again. A moment of flight will be briefly etched in your vision. Make a fast sketch of what you saw by jotting down the angle of the leading edge of the wing and the contour of the belly.”
Try this exercise over and over again to get the impressions of a particular bird in flight.
Upload your sketches here. See examples from Elizabeth attached.

Over the past few years, reuse has become. $250 million dollar industry. In the United States there are over 1200 reuse stores.
Reuse stores, like the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store, sell used or overstocked building supplies, and household goods at a huge discount to get these items out of landfills and repurposed for other projects. Reuse stores sell anything from wooden wall paneling to electrical outlets and everything on between. Yes, reuse stores also sell kitchen sinks.
InvenQuery, an offshoot from Kansas City startup, PlanetReuse. PlanetReuse, as you can probably tell by the name, is also in the reuse industry.
InvenQuery offers web, and mobile solutions for inventory and store management for the reuse industry. The startup reported last week, that they have raised $1.1 million dollars this year. Earlier in the year the company raised $450,000 in an angel round. They recently closed a $650,000 series A round for Dundee Venture Capital of Omaha Nebraska.
“Making e-commerce and inventory management simple for an industry that has historically lacked technology tools will transform the way people shop for used building materials,” says Dundee Venture Capital Founder Mark Hasebroock. “We see tremendous potential in InvenQuery for retailers of unique items.”
The idea is simple and the results could be revolutionary: millions more pounds of usable surplus materials kept out of local landfills. A stark contrast to the nearly 40% of U.S. landfill waste that comes from building construction and demolition waste today. Plus more profits are generated for the social missions of non-profit reuse centers. If HDTV, Pinterest and the $250 Billion per year Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (Lohas) U.S. consumer segment are any indication, reuse is one trend that will last.
“We are thrilled to partner with Dundee Venture Capital,” said InvenQuery Founder Nathan Benjamin. “Mark Hasebroock and his team bring deep expertise in e-commerce and web services that will accelerate our success in the reuse industry and in subsequent vertical markets we are researching like surplus materials from construction and demolition projects that get lost in warehouses.”
“As more and more reuse centers use InvenQuery to showcase their inventory live online on PlanetReuse Marketplace, the $250 Million reuse industry will become more top-of-mind and ultimately an easy alternative to explore before buying new materials through the $110 Billion new material home improvement industry,” said InvenQuery partner Willow Lundgren.

Traditional banks seem like a necessary evil for many of us.
We need somewhere safe and secure to keep our hard-earned money.
But many banking customers complain of long lines, poor service, lower rates on savings and rising fees on debt.
These problems with the banking industry only seem to get worse each year.
There is a great alternative to banks that many people don't stop to consider—credit unions!
Consumers are often wary of credit unions due to their smaller size.
However, your money is almost always just as safe with a credit union as with a bank.
Credit unions have many benefits including better interest rates, and lower balance requirements.
Be aware though, that they can have narrow membership requirements and less polished technology than the big banks.
Of course, you want to make sure the company is reputable and offers an excellent service before you sign up.
We dug deep to find out how VyStar compares to its competitors in all areas.
With this comprehensive knowledge, you can be well-informed to decide your next step.
VyStar Credit Union
VyStar has been around for over 65 years; here's some of its history
Initially called Jax Navy Federal Credit Union, the credit union was formed in 1952. The 12 founding members from the Naval Air Station Jacksonville wanted to provide both military and civil service personnel, and their families, with a reliable and safe way to borrow and save money.
After only one year, 1,100 members had already joined the union. Today VyStar has over 450,000 members.
VyStar is a Federally Insured State Chartered Credit Union with 33 branches and $6.88 billion in assets as of June 30, 2017.
The organization has 1,244 full-time employees and ranks as the 2nd largest credit union in the state of Florida, and 17th largest nationwide.

VyStar Pros and Cons

As a member, you can take advantage of lower balance requirements and fees on your VyStar accounts, as well as better rates on investments.
VyStar's overall CD rates are 39% higher than the national average, including a 2.65% rate on a 60 month (5-year) CD.
The most significant drawback to being a VyStar member is the lack of physical locations.
Their branches are restricted to only the Northeast Florida region.
If you move out of this area or need to visit a branch while traveling, you may be out of luck.
Compared to major banks, their number of ATMs where you can make free withdrawals is also limited.
VyStar's interest earned on savings and checking accounts is a little below the average for credit unions, with a 0.25% rate and 0.10% rate respectively.
NSF fees are also a bit high at $32, but if you don't bounce checks that shouldn't be a concern.

Factors to look at include the following:
Fees, including those for ATM withdrawals and wire transfers.

Whether he knows it or not, Mark Zuckerberg fired the starter’s pistol when he reportedly single-handedly spent more than $1 billion on photo-sharing app Instagram earlier this month. The Facebook CEO apparently cut his board of directors out of the picture and decided unilaterally to purchase the relatively small Instagram for a universally huge sum of $1 billion-plus.
Nearly two weeks later, we find out that Facebook dropped another half-billion dollars on a patent buy from Microsoft – who had purchased that chunk of patents and more from AOL for a billion bucks around the same time Facebook bought Instagram.
That might qualify as a spending spree. And when one social media giant whips out its checkbook like that, you can bet a handful of other players start to wriggle a bit in their office chairs. On the other side of things, when one of those checks gets delivered to the owners of an app, you can bet the sea of app developers starts to roil and swell with the “next big thing” hoping to emerge from the churn and become overnight gazillionaires.

The trip to City’s first public preseason match as preparation for the 2015-16 Premier League campaign started late on Thursday, with a 15 hour direct flight from Vancouver to Sydney after a full day at work. For travel geeks, I was told the trans-Pacific route is the second longest commercial flight available today, but I’ve not checked. Crossing the International Date Line meant that Friday 17 July 2015 was a day I never got to experience as I landed in Sydney on Saturday morning. The things I do for City. It’s also bonkers to be leaving beautiful Vancouver in mid-summer and going to SE Australia while it is experiencing wintery weather.
So far, so good, travelwise and the flight connection to Brisbane was also smooth and on time, as was catching the train at BNE airport for the ride south to the Gold Coast. It was an unusually brisk winter morning in SE Queensland and I read that local kids were enjoying the first decent snow dump for thirty years on the highest hills near the border with NSW. It warmed up nicely later in the day after the sun got to maximum height. Dozens of Liverpool fans in full colours alighted the train at Brisbane Airport as I boarded. Liverpool had played the local A-League side, Brisbane Roar, the night before at a chilly Lang Park. The crowd of >50,000 was much higher than attended a recent rugby union international, highlighting the huge pull that the red scousers and their plastic army still enjoy. City’s marketing hierarchy must wish their venture had the same attraction from the nostalgic segment of football-loving Joe Public. Liverpool beat Brisbane 2-1 with James Milner scoring the winner. Jimmy apparently had a decent game in the Gerrard-spaced gaping hole in the midfield. Milner always expressed a desire to play central midfield but with the squad at City his chances to shine were limited. I wish him well in his new endeavour, so long as he chokes in matches against us. If he finishes his career at Anfield at least he has a few medals from a prior engagement to tell his kids about.
A major reason for the visit to ‘the coast’ was to catch up with the paternal side of my family. My Dad is a septagenarian Blue from Bredbury/Hyde and moved to Australia thirty years ago. He has a new family of Aussie kids and grandkids and it was possibly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to go to a City match with three generations. Saturday’s friendly was the first City match I’d attended with my father since the first City match I ever attended, at Maine Road more than forty years ago. It was also the first match I’d attended with my brother and two young nephews (it was their first City match). Another first I was hoping for was an appearance by Raheem Sterling in a shiny new sky blue kit.
After swapping family updates, etc., it was time for the five of us to get kitted up in sky blue gear from various eras. We were dropped off at RQ’s Tavern in the suburb of Robina, which I was told is the closest piece of civilization to the ground and was where out-of-town and local City fans would congregate, a couple of hours before the 5 PM time printed on the ticket (kick-off ended up being about half-an-hour later). The Cbus Super Stadium has no parking so getting to and from the match required further thought, but first it was time for a couple of pints, a pie and a sing-song. About 100 Blues ended up in the Billy’s Bar part of the “tavern”, which was really a converted store lot in a non-descript shopping centre. A large part of the establishment was a room of flashing poker machines, or what I called fruit machines growing up. Aussies love to gamble and I once read that NSW is second only to Nevada (think Vegas) in the number of poker machines. The functional pub had framed football scarves on the walls from the clubs you’d expect, including City, plus a few from more obscure clubs, such as Wrexham, Coventry (Highfield Road days) and Preston. We could have gone the way of Coventry with the same level of mismanagement. The wall art I liked most was the name of the over-40s football team that was based in the pub: Real Ale Madrid. That would be my kind of sporting endeavour. The largely local group of City fans, in the pub early doors, had a photograph taken outside and the sky blue Canada flag got an airing. The atmosphere ratched up a couple of notches when a United fan in Chevvy shirt was spotted and a few pre-lubricated Melbourne branch Blues turned up to add greater colour to the repertoire of songs. No harm done and all in the name of banter. The United shirt-wearing punter was last seen sulking on his own in a dark corner of the poker machine room donating the remainder of his money to whoever owns the poker machines, plus making a voluntary tax donation.
We secured a lift to the Robina train station and walked the short distance to the Cbus Super Stadium, past large areas of fallow ground that would make a great car park. The ~27,000 seater stadium, used mostly by the local and poorly followed rugby league team, is in the middle of nowhere. The developer probably had a ‘build-it-and-they-will-come’ strategy. It’s not worked yet, apart from an outlet of Bond University, named after crooked/failed Aussie businessman Alan, not James, British’s most famous problem solver. The stadium was a pleasant enough venue, with plenty of outlets selling crap and over-priced beer, food and low quality merchandise that parents must loathe. The dual team scarfs of Manchester City v Melbourne City made some sense for once, given the relationship, but the price far, far exceeded the quality of the product. One oddity down our end, and we were near a corner at the other end of the ground for the pocket of boistrous City fans behind one goal, was looking through the partly open corner and seeing the sun setting over a fully functioning farm. It was a scene from greener parts of rural SE Australia, not what you’d expect while watching City play. The stadium ended up about two-thirds full, say 18,000 or thereabouts, which was not a bad effort for a chilly Saturday evening. It’s more than the local rugby league teams typically pulls. The ticket price was reasonable, at under £20, and it attracted an eclectic group of football fans. The most common, besides City and Melbourne, we’re wearing Liverpool garb (thought I even once heard a Liverpool chant), and proud Bosniaks with shirts, flags and scarves, all with the hope of catching a glimpse of Edin Dzeko.
Overall, it was a reasonably entertaining spectacle. Far from breathtaking, but much better than the majority of snoozy preseason friendlies I’ve enduring since my first foreign preseason tour in Switzerland in 1985 when Jimmy Frizzell was the boss. The match was competitive with the occasional feisty challenge. The quality of football from Melbourne was better than what I’ve seen from the weaker teams in the MLS. I’d attribute a big part of that to their midseason fitness. They seemed well-drilled too. With better finishing at both ends, and Melbourne missed a sitter in the first half and should have scored in the second too, it could have been 4-2 to City, rather than requiring Nasri’s excellent strike late on to win the match against our related club. I was going to write ‘sister’ club, but that’s not accurate. Melbourne City is more like our ‘mail order bride’ club, and that only works if we accept that polygamy is OK. City played their usual passing and possession match, which is less appealing for those seeking swashbuckling Stanley Matthews’ type of attacking (my Dad). Melbourne were far from overun but for most of the game they were chasing rather than controlling. I was surprised at the low number of substitutions. Usually in matches like this there is a mass change at half-time. Kompany played the whole match, as did Fernando (he did well at the back) and Clichy. Nasri and Toure played for 88 mins. Navas may have played the whole game – I’m not sure. If he was on from the start he was not too involved. A match program would have helped track the players and changes! I thought that Nasri did OK but could do with losing a couple of summertime kilos. He is a quality footballer with a gallic temperament. I noticed that towards the end of the match he was tiring, and made a couple of poor split second decisions, but then he showed his worth to score the late goal. Not as special as in Rome, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Toure was omnipresent in first-half but faded in the second. We could still get another good season or two from him. It was a decent workout overall for what was a reasonable number of the first team squad. The South Americans who played in the Copa America are still on vacation and there was not a first team centre forward on the pitch. I did see Sterling, but only signing autographs in front of us either side of a prematch interview with Fox. Several younger players had a run out and did well. Who caught the eye is probably covered more accurately in the MEN match report, and without a match programme or names on the back of shirts I cannot provide a lot of useful feedback. Number 62, who I think is Brad Barker, caught my eye in his interchanges with Nasri, but that could have been because he was running up and down in front of us. Other young squad members who did OK and I cannot name are 36 and 78. Number 66 came on for Toure on 88 minutes and resembled Toure in the way he positioned himself on the field and his laconic run. Enes Unar, #83, came on for last 15 mins. Being given squad number 83 is hardly a ringing endorsement from the boss that you are going to make many Premier League appearances. And finally, on the match, I really like the new City home kit with the white shorts and trim. It’s probably because it’s traditional, and no doubt I’ve been emotionally manipulated by marketers to have that reaction by going slightly away from tradition for a couple of seasons, but it is a winner for me and I expect it will sell well (I’ll not buy one – I never do). Next season I bet the red and blacks strips are back.
On the walk back to Robina train station post-match for the crammed train ride north the illuminated Cbus Super Stadium reminded me of a poor man’s Allianz Arena in black and white. That night in Munich, when James Milner scored the winner after coming back from two-down early on, is one of my top ten City moments. So, thanks James, this Blue at least wishes you well. Next stop on the Aussie tour is the cosmopolitan and undoubtedly colder metropolis of Melbourne and what I believe is City’s first visit to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (aka ‘MCG’, and shortened even further by locals to ‘the G’). Pop quiz question – are next week’s matches the furthest from home that a City First XI have ever played? I’ll be in the Imperial Pub on Bourke Street pre-and post-match on Tuesday and Friday so come over and say hello if you see the sky blue Canada flag. | <urn:uuid:2f235714-65d0-47dd-b487-d78c6114ace3> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://mcivta.com/melbourne-city-o-mcfc-1/ | 2020-02-16T20:12:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875141396.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200216182139-20200216212139-00427.warc.gz | en | 0.977509 | 2,481 |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ari on The Arts: Building a City that says Yes to real investment in Arts & Culture
(TORONTO – Aug 12, 2014) ~ Toronto mayoral candidate Ari Goldkind continued to address major civic policy areas with Ari on the Arts, a statement of his platform to support this vibrant and vital sector of Toronto’s community and economic fabric. This comes in advance of the Arts On the Ballot “reverse debate” on Tuesday, August 12th at The Theatre Centre (1115 Queen St. W. at Dovercourt); this innovative debate format will see mayoral candidates put forth questions to five keystone leaders of the Toronto arts community, moderated by Kathleen Sharpe of the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund.
“While other candidates brush off arts and culture with grandiose and cliched statements that demonstrate a total lack of understanding of the issues, I believe in building a city that says ‘Yes’ to truly nurturing this key thread in the fabric of our city,” says Goldkind. “That music festival Rob Ford talked about bringing after he went down to Austin has more or less fallen off his radar. Olivia Chow talks about turning Toronto into Austin when our music scene is already substantially larger than Austin’s – we simply haven’t created that identity around music. John Tory wants to bureaucratize with a Music Office. My arts & culture policy takes a holistic, city-wide view of the arts & culture community, rather than making it solely about branding and tourism.”
The key elements of Goldkind’s Arts & Culture community platform are:
- Working to spread the wealth of arts and culture beyond the downtown core into suburban areas where lack of access to artistic resources and performance spaces are a major issue
- Using creative funding sources to increase per capita arts & culture funding from its current $25 to $75; in Montreal, funding currently $55 for a considerably smaller city. Sources could include: hotel levies, an increased billboard tax, and dedicated development fees
- Using examples such as the Bell Lightbox project as an inspiration to build more partnerships that integrate arts & culture spaces into community design & development.
- Empowering organizations such as Artscape with a greater mandate to use or convert underutilized or derelict space for new artistic hubs
- Engaging community leaders in under-serviced or isolated parts of Toronto in real dialogue to truly understand their unique challenges and needs; and how those differ from the more densely concentrated downtown arts scene
- Simplifying and streamlining the process for obtaining permits to use city-owned parks and facilities, to encourage more culturally-diverse, arts-driven events
- Working to dispel the stereotype of arts & culture as a sector that is dependent on government funding, when in fact it generates massive profits, exposure, goodwill and community benefits, and ensuring that the arts’ true economic value to the city is more accurately conveyed by our political leaders
- Pushing the provincial government to properly fund arts programs in schools which have been decimated in recent years, and creatively engaging business and corporate sponsorship
- Addressing the disparity in the promotion of music with other disciplines such as visual arts, fashion, theatre and dance, by increasing city support of festivals that feature these disciplines and access to artistic programs for young people

Fr. John Karastamatis was born in 1937 in the Greek village of Apoika, on the island of Andros. As a boy on the island of Andros, John witnessed many miracles with which God blessed the pious villagers, and thus he was made aware of the closeness of God to the lives of those who seek Him. The heavenly saints, especially the local ones, also manifested their closeness and the power of their intercessory prayer by appearing to and helping the people. John nourished his young soul by learning of the lives of these saints and martyrs, whose unquenchable desire to be faithful to Christ in the face of deprivation, torment and physical death inspired him to also be a servant of God. Although he did not attend any theological school, he wanted to put his faith into practice by someday becoming a priest.
In 1957, at the age of twenty, John came to the United States. Five years later he married a young Greek woman, Athanasia Matsellis, and soon became the father of two children, Maria and Photios. The cities of the United States were in sharp contrast to the village of his birth, but his acute awareness of the nearness of God and the other world, given him in childhood, never left him. He now found himself in the midst of those who not only did not want to be close to God, but who actively fled from Him.
Still he hoped in God, knowing that the freedom of Christ can be found even in the most stifling and evil surroundings.
With the support and encouragement of Fr. George Bogdanos, a Greek priest who recognized in him the integrity and zeal of a true pastor, Fr. John was ordained to the deaconate in 1971 with the blessing of Archbishop lakovos, who supported him in this. Since both his love for the Church and the love of the churchgoers for him was so apparent, he was made a priest only a few weeks later by Bishop Meletios Christianopolis of San Francisco. He first served the Greek Orthodox community in Anchorage, Alaska, the land of newly-canonized St. Herman, who became thus his guardian angel for the rest of his life. He was later assigned to the St. George parish in Vancouver, Canada, and then to All Saints parish in Anaheim, Pennsylvania. He then moved to Santa Cruz, California, which had been named by the Spanish missionaries after the Holy Cross of the Lord. There he labored with enthusiasm to provide a haven of Orthodox Christianity for the faithful in the area, who had long been without a nearby church.
Because the community in Santa Cruz was too small to immediately acquire its own Orthodox church, Fr. John began to serve the Divine Liturgy in the nearby town of Aptos, in the chapel of a Poor Clare convent. The nuns would have their services very early on Sunday morning, leaving the church free for Fr. John and his parishioners to use afterwards. The parishioners were at first hesitant: they would come to Liturgy late, and would all sit at the very back of the chapel, as if they were spectators and not participants. Fr. John knew that he had much work to do. He was sometimes disappointed at the lack of active interest among his flock. His was a burning faith, and lukewarmness had always been foreign to his soul. His task, he knew, was to ignite this fire within each of his parishioners, so that they themselves would struggle for the kingdom of heaven, the one thing needful, and not sit in the background and expect their priest to do their work for them. He could not demand too much at once, but had to be a gentle and loving pastor, condescending to the weaknesses of his flock so as not to overwhelm them and cause them to abandon the Orthodox faith altogether. The gap between shepherd and sheep had to be bridged gradually and carefully, and Fr. John had to spark the kinder in the hearts of his flock without scorching them with the consuming fire within him.
Sometimes Fr. John would speak forceful words of rebuke to awaken his people from their spiritual sleep, but mostly he would inspire them by his quiet and unobtrusive example. They began to see how hard he struggled and were moved to help him fulfill his godly dreams. His fervency and zeal, his unequivocal belief in the other world, was something that they did not fully understand, and yet that they inwardly — and in some cases unconsciously — longed for. Having come to love him deeply, they were grateful that God had sent a harvester to their field.
By giving his parishioners new aspirations, Fr. John instilled in them the desire to start their own church. They collected and saved money and eventually found the perfect building for their church: a former funeral home in Santa Cruz, across from the public library and in the best park of town for missionary activity. Fr. John did much of the interior work himself, fashioning a beautiful white iconostasis and a large domed apse behind and above the altar. When completed, the newly-consecrated church became a refuge from the noisy bustle of the world, an island of holiness in the middle of downtown Santa Cruz. The church was dedicated to the Prophet Elias.
With their new and beautiful church, the parishioners, comprised of over 75 families, now had a sense of accomplishment. They felt that they had come a long way from the days when they had little choice but to use a chapel which was outside of town. Now they could branch out into other activities.
Fr. John by no means wanted his Orthodox community to be a closed one, and he rejoiced to discover any fervent young souls which came to him in search of the fulness of Christianity. Santa Cruz has been a gathering place not only of the darker and meaner elements of society, but also of idealistic young people who have desired something more meaningful than the American values of materialism and competition. By the time Fr. John started his church in Santa Cruz, a small but significant «Orthodox Christian movement» had already begun at the university there. This was primarily the result of the missionary work of Hieromonk Anastassy. Through him, many Santa Cruz university students embraced the Orthodox faith and dedicated their lives to serving Christ. In 1981, Fr. Seraphim Rose, at the request of the Orthodox students there, gave two lectures at the university and further inspired young souls to enter what he called «the saving enclosure of the Church.» The fellowship of Orthodox students turned also to Fr. John and his church in order to receive spiritual nourishment and to participate in the divine services, which lifted them above the worldliness of university life. Fr. John always greeted them with a radiant smile and warm love, seeing in their young faces the freshness and enthusiasm that would keep Orthodoxy alive for future generations. After these students graduated, Fr. John brought other young people to the Orthodox faith, giving them all that they needed for their growth in the faith and being to them a loving father who was concerned for their spiritual welfare.
Since the Prophet Elias Church was in the middle of town, people would often come from off the streets to ask questions and attend the services. Fr. John kept an «open-door policy,» making himself and his church available to anyone with a pastoral need. The people of Santa Cruz came to know him as being kind, trusting, full of love and open. He had great compassion for the poor, and was helpful to all who came to him, disregarding their religion or whether or not they were taking advantage of him. It was not uncommon for him to be awakened at odd hours of the night by needy people knocking at his back door. No one would be refused, but would always be given alms for a meal. In the most outcast and downtrodden of individuals, and perhaps especially in them, Fr. John saw the image of Christ. With deep-felt Christian love, he once wrote these words about the simple people who, although rejected by the world, are faithful to Christ and follow the voice of their hearts: «We see them lonely within the crowd, or following the life of a hermit as they become symbols of truth and beacon lights of Christianity, praying for peace and brotherly love on earth.»
Orthodox Christianity was not just something «for Greeks,» but rather was universal. His love for God induced him to earnestly desire to bring forth fruits for Him, as a son strives to please his father, and this made him a zealous missionary to all peoples. He had services in public parks, where the townspeople would stop to attend something, which, although foreign to them, they found to be divinely beautiful. Hearing Fr. John, with his full and resonant voice, chanting the ancient Byzantine melodies along with his cantor, would unexpectedly catch a vague and half-remembered glimpse of that sacred realm which their souls knew but their minds had never been exposed to. In such a way was Fr. John able to introduce the riches of Orthodoxy to the spiritually impoverished American people.
While Fr. John’s fervent pastoral work served to convert many non-Greek people, his first job was, of course, to «convert» many of his own people -¬those who were baptized Orthodox but whose commitment to Christ meant, at most, only an external commitment to church attendance and activities. By his own faith he demonstrated to them that Orthodoxy is not merely a ritual, a system of dogmas or a behavior pattern, but is instead a transforming power, which is tapped by conscious spiritual struggle.
The good works of Fr. John were too numerous and his outreach too extensive not to evoke malicious actions from the haters of God. The visibility of Fr. John and his church in the middle of Santa Cruz made them more accessible not only to those in need of help, but also to those who wished to destroy all that is holy. A few months before Fr. John’s death, the church was desecrated by unknown occultists, who painted «666» and the five-pointed satanic star on the front entrance. When the desecration was discovered, Fr. John reconsecrated the church. Later he received anonymous threats, but was undaunted by them.
It was through Fr. John that the Most Holy Mother of God bestowed a miraculous blessing on the Prophet Elias Church. This occurred after Fr. John brought some bulbs of the «lily of the Panagia» back from his native island of Andros, where he visited with his family. The lily of the «Panagia» (or the «Most Holy») is so named because of the tradition, often depicted in icons, concerning the Archangel Gabriel presenting the Mother of God with this species of lily at the time of the Annunciation. In the monastery on Andros which Fr. John visited, stems from these lilies, being many years old, sometimes bud miraculously at the time of the Feast of the Dormition.
Fr. John instructed his son Photios to plant the lily bulbs in pots and to water them only with holy water, which Photios did. After the lilies had grown from the bulbs in May of 1983, Fr. John cut one of the flowers and placed it by the icon of the Mother of God, which leaned against the iconostasis of his church. The flower did not wilt for three or four weeks, although it had been cut and removed from both water and earth. When it finally dropped its petals (the first one having fallen on a radiant day when one of Fr. John’s converts from the university was baptized), Fr. John told his wife not to vacuum up any of them, but to save them and place them by the icon where the flower stem was still leaning. Aпd then, within three weeks, some fresh sprouts appeared on the stem!
The stem continued to produce new stems for many months, until the winter of 1983-4. Fr. John interpreted the miracle as an image of life coming out of death through the Resurrection.
On the night of Saturday, May 5/18, 1985, the eve of Righteous Job the Much-suffering, Fr. John was in the church building preparing a sermon for the following morning. His wife was at that time in Los Angeles visiting her daughter, who had just given birth to her first child. Shortly before midnight, one or more assailants entered the church. Evidently they had been watching Fr. John, for they came at a time when he was alone, when both his wife and 17 year-old son were gone. They attacked Fr. John in his church office, stabbing him with a knife. During the struggle Fr. John was severely beaten, and then was finally killed by a heavy blow on his head. His son, who had dined with him earlier that evening, arrived at 1:30 a.m. at the church where the family lived. Outside the office he discovered the body of his murdered father, and on the walls — the blood of a martyr.
This time the church was not desecrated. In their investigation, the police reported no signs of vandalism or theft, nor were they able to locate any possible suspects. In the absence of a more plausible reason for the crime, it is most likely that the killing, like the church desecration a few months prior to it, was done at the hands of those who hated Fr. John for his holy work, of those who are the enemies of God and rebel against Him because they serve the first rebel, Satan. But whether Fr. John was killed for overtly satanic purposes or for other, irrational reasons, he had without doubt a martyric death, giving his life for Christ and dying in the very church in which he had diligently served Him. His face and fingers were so mutilated that the coffin had to be closed during the funeral services.
«His life inspired and enlightened and cheered us!» wrote one of his spiritual children. «His death has served to confirm in a most direct way the realities of not only our Orthodox faith, but of the bizarre and truly anti-Christian ways of our times.»
Holy New Martyr Priest John of Santa Cruz, pray to God for us!
A Miracle of the Bells on Andros
Most holy Fathers and Brother,
I doubly wish the grace and blessing of the Triune God upon you. I am informing you about an admirable event concerning the wonderful new martyr, Father Ioannis Karastamatis. After the events well-known to you, which took place around his venerable person, I asked from my dear in Christ Presvytera Anastasia, [the wife] of Father Karastamatis, to send me – for the blessing and sanctification as much of myself as of my spiritual children – a sacerdotal dress of his. After the lapse of four months, and more precisely on the 5th of July of this year, my pious request was fulfilled in an admirable way. On that day, a Saturday, I performed my sacred functions at the altar of our Holy Monastery for the Feast of our Holy Father Athanasios the Athonite, in the presence of other pious worshippers, men as well as women, praying together. At the end of the holy and sacred ceremony and after the distribution of the consecrated bread, the bells in the altar of the Monastery started to ring, joyfully, by themselves, to the surprise of myself and all of the worshippers present. All of us were amazed and were waiting for some indication to be shown by the Grace of the Triune God. In the course of this event, there arrived from Nikaio of Praeus worshippers with two priests.
In the afternoon we were about to begin an All-Night Vigil for the joined worshippers. Two hours before the beginning of the holy Vigil, the telephone rang and I was asked for: I spoke to the daughter of Father Ioannis, Maria Kosmides Karastamatis, who said that she had come from America bringing the holy sacred vestments of her holy martyred father, which I had asked for. My emotion was very great!!! Tears of joy were running from my eyes, and immediately I explained the morning’s event of the bells. That event had been a holy message, which I in no way knew, that I would receive the joy and the spiritual blessing of the coming of his holy vestments. I note also that, at the moment when the bells had been ringing by themselves, at 10 o’clock in the morning, the ship arrived at the port of Andros with the treasure of the vestments, precious to me.
Immediately after the telephone call, on my order, the sacred vestments were brought to the Monastery by the daughter of Father Ioannis, Maria, with his brother Marios. All the priests and worshippers, with emotion and ringing of the bells, received them spreading flowers in the Monastery. There followed a short talk about the martyrdom of the Father, and then began the holy Vigil up until the morning. With spiritual delight, all of us glorified the Triune God, the Virgin Mary and Holy Nicholas, embracing the new star of the sky and admirable holy martyr Father Ioannis. May we have his blessing, and may his intercessions before God strengthen us for our struggles in these terrible days of Antichrist we are going through.
Embracing you in the Love of Christ,
I remain with blessing,
Archimandrite Dorotheos Themelis

Description: 2D MASW Survey for sub surface soil strata profile. Depth of Till.
Two 2D MASW Surveys were undertaken to find the layer boundary between coal waste/midden and glacial till.
It is non-invasive geophysical method and therefore the drilling program and the number of test holes could be reduced. This in turn reduced the cost of the investigation
This provided two cross sectional images to inform engineering decisions.
How was data delivered?
Data delivered by two 2d Shear Wave Velocity Profiles and a Report.
Till depth varied in depth depth and was dipping towards the North East. | <urn:uuid:97d08618-f317-424c-b7a9-5f9b8b409437> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.municon.net/projects/union-bay-geophysical-study | 2021-03-07T05:12:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178376144.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307044328-20210307074328-00422.warc.gz | en | 0.921594 | 148 |

I only heard about the, "f/16 rule", a few years after I bought my first DSLR. Yes, that means I had made a ton of mistakes and ruined plenty of shots because I had no idea how to compensate for the contrasts I was having to deal with. It's a theory that basically governs the maths of the exposure equation and it revolves around midday on a sunny afternoon.
Even though there is a light meter built into your camera; it's not a fool-proof solution to every lighting situation. The f/16 rule is a good springboard because it illustrates the relationship between f/stop, ISO and shutter speed. It's a standard across all camera brands and models.
Have a look below at the ungraded images: the darker image was taken by using the light meter built into my camera. The camera was compensating for the light bouncing off the silver on the roof and utilised settings that it deemed adequate: f/16 1/125 ISO 100. For the lighter image; I used the f/16 rule: f/16 1/100 ISO 100. It was really bright all around so all I had to compensate was by lowering the shutter speed.
How does it work? Simply put: on a sunny day at midday set your aperture to f16. The result is that the reciprocal value of the ISO is the correct shutter speed. What? Ok, provided your f-stop is set to f/16; at ISO 100 your shutter speed will be 1/100 or at ISO 400 your shutter speed will be 1/400 (or very close to it).
Have a look below at the ungraded images: the darker image was taken using the automatic setting (Yes, I used auto for this). The camera was compensating for the light in the clouds and utilised settings that it deemed adequate: f/18 1/100 ISO 100. For the lighter image; I used the f/16 rule: f/6.3 1/100 ISO 100. Seeing as it wasn't sunny (nor midday) I compensated by lowering the ISO.
It's a notable rule because it can be applied anywhere in the world - a kind of universal constant that relates to the intensity of light coming from the sun. It's a reliable standard with two notable exceptions: snow (water) and sand (glass) both being exceptionally reflective. It's then the f22 rule. | <urn:uuid:9ef78cf4-43dc-42ed-bfaf-1eb4be6e2cda> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | http://byjono.co/blog/2016/the-cult-of-f16 | 2019-10-20T11:44:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986707990.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20191020105426-20191020132926-00138.warc.gz | en | 0.963164 | 490 |

Recently I have been following the various progress for Jewish communities throughout Israel and the US. By appealing to the government, the Jewish community created real progress and opened up many holy sites to both men and women in Israel. With the assistance and with what the teams have done, women are no longer segregated in holy sights and have been allowed many of the same rights as men in their religion.
Elated with the progress of their efforts at the verdict I took to celebrating the progress with many women at the Wailing Wall. I was present as the Israeli government made rulings with full religious authority at the Kotel.
I am excited as the new legislation will improve unrestricted access to Orthodox women allowing the two to pray together once again. Women can also wear prayer shawls at bat mitzvahs and bar mitzvahs and celebrate together with the entire family. This practice was discouraged previously and this allows women to be a larger part of major celebrations in their children’s/ families lives.
The new rulings will also allow for visitors to decide if they would like to go to the gender-segregated Orthodox section or go to the newer section where women are not segregated. This can allow visitors to see and pray with traditionalists as well as see a more modern view of Israel.
This new change reflects progressive thinking ideas and suggests that there is definitely more than one way to practice the Jewish faith. I feel as though people like myself and my group that fought for these changes have rewritten history and made a step forward for modernizing the Jewish faith.
I feel as though this is an early step forward to making the Wailing Wall a fully equal place that shows an encompassing connection between the Jewish people as well as the modern equal traditions of today.
With future work like this, we can all work together to grant unsegregated access to holy sites. Through modernization with equality, we can improve peace and acceptance across the world.

Opening plenary – What does the latest science tell us?
09:00 – 09:30
Tackling marine plastic litter requires coordinated efforts across all sectors. Scientific research has played a big role in advancing our understanding of the problem, its extent and impacts, as well as in driving attention to it at every level of society. Science and the knowledge it generates continues to be the foundation for solutions to marine plastic pollution, through research, monitoring and assessments, through material, product and process design, and by providing an evidence-base for policy.
Setting the stage for the SEA of Solutions, this opening plenary will consider how far the science has taken us – what do we know and what have we achieved? – as well as what we still need the science to tell us in order to successfully tackle marine plastic pollution.
