Takeover talks between Hearts and a Lithuanian businessman are at an advanced stage, BBC Sport believes.
Chris Robinson (left) is strongly in favour of selling Tynecastle
And it could lead to the Scottish Premier League club shelving plans to sell Tynecastle Stadium to clear debts.
Vladimir Romanov is close to an agreement with chief executive Chris Robinson and former chairman Leslie Deans over their 20% shareholdings.
But Romanov will only proceed if he gains a controlling stake and is also in discussions with media group SMG.
SMG also has a 20% shareholding in the club, which has already reached a provisional agreement to sell Tynecastle and therefore wipe out its £18m debt.
It is understood that major creditor Halifax Bank of Scotland, which had told the club that it would not lend more money to the club unless it agreed to sell the stadium, is comfortable with a sale of shares to the Lithuanian.
Negotiations have been going on for several months, but any deal could yet be weeks away.
Hearts sources insist that they would not have entered such negotiations if Romanov's financial credentials had not been checked "at the highest possible level".
It is also being stressed that head coach Craig Levein's job would be safe as he is seen as an asset by the proposed new owner, who would bring in his own general manager in the shape of experienced coach Anatoly Byshovets.
Romanov, who recently sold a substantial stake in Lithuanian bank Ukio, had previously held talks with Dundee, Dundee United and Dunfermline Athletic without a deal being finalised.
His group already owns Lithuanian club FBK Kaunas and he had touted the idea of using Scottish football as a way of exporting footballing talent from his homeland.
It is not known whether a similar arrangement is part of his plans for Hearts, but it is believed that he favours the club remaining at Tynecastle.
Rebuilding the main stand as part of a regeneration of the area around the ground appear to be part of Romanov's plans.
Robinson has strongly advocated the sale of Tynecastle as the only viable way forward, leading to protests from a large section of supporters.
The stadium no longer meets pitch size requirements for European football and Hearts have been forced to play this season's Uefa Cup ties at nearby Murrayfield Stadium.
There are problems with redeveloping the stadium to comply with council plans to regenerate the area.
Hearts can withdraw from their agreement to sell Tynecastle to the Cala Management housing group before January should a viable alternative be found to remain at their present home. | <urn:uuid:27e7f216-f6b2-439b-a33e-fd02df6b522b> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/3614112.stm | 2021-09-22T22:10:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057388.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20210922193630-20210922223630-00104.warc.gz | en | 0.98192 | 552 |

Excellent!!

Okay - So... I may have done something stupid... but I know my heart is in the right place...
I went to Petsmart to buy the 10 gallon starter kit I need for my baby fry.. I checked out the bettas (NEVER a good idea..) I fell inlove with an orange dalmation.. (I'm still drooling over him..).. But there was this sad..sick, DYING betta with fin rot and a swollen belly swimming side ways, not flareing and staying at the bottom of his cup.. I couldn't leave him and since I was with my sister.. (Not my mom who probably would of made me leave him) I baught him, a 1/2 gallon and some meds that'll treat the fin rot. But I don't know what is up with his belly.. I may return ths meds I got because I don't think there the right ones - I got Mardel Maracyn that treats Body Fungus, Fin/Tail Rot, Popeye, and Gill Disease.. I need your help! I'm gonna go to a diffrent petsmart and walmart tomarrow, so I need to know what I need NOW.
Please help me - he is dying and I just can't watch him slowly drift away, I snuck behind my moms back to save him, so PLEASE help me out, I'll take pics and put them up in 5-15 minutes..
I wish I could help you but I don't have experience w these issues. Off the top of my head I'd say he has swim bladders disease (common) and bloat. This is usually from overfeeding. So first try fasting him for a day or so and then feed smaller amounts. Whenever my fish looked ill I'd lower the water level (if they had trouble swimming up for air), increase the temp to 82 and dim the lights. They'd eventually bounce back on their own...
When you look at him from above, he doesn't look pineconey does he?
I would do an epsom salt treatment, it will help his fins and should also help with the bloating. You can get epsom salt at the pharmacy.
1 tsp epsom salt per gallon for two days, then up it to 2 tsp epsom salt per gallon for eight days, doing daily 100% water changes throughout the ten day treatment. Keep his water at 77-78 degrees F, the lower temperatures will help inhibit the growth of bacteria. If you have any India almond leaves/oak leaves/decaf green tea, the tannins they release can be very beneficial to a healing fish.
Good luck, and good for you for saving him! I hope he gets better soon!
Thank You SO much for the tips! I'll have to borrow more money from my mom to get the last few things I need, but I don't care.. His life means something to me.. He isn't stunning or even unique like that orange dal.. but I care and love him.. I'm only going to name him after he gets better.. I don't want to get too attached in case.. Thanks again..
Hannah, I think it was really sweet of you to rescue him.
Poor fellow isn't looking too great right now but I bet once he starts receiving the care he needs he will turn out beautiful.
For his treatment I would try aquarium salt at 1 tsp per gallon for ten days.
You will need to do 100% water changes each day.
After the ten days are up you should be able to see some fin regrowth.
For his possable Sbd I would fast him for a day or two and lower your water level so he doesn't need to work so hard to get to the top.
The tempture of his tank is really importent right now, he needs warm water so his body can be strong andfight off the finrot.
If you do not have a heater already this would be the fist thing I would buy.
I would hold off on using the Meds for a bit, see if the salt works first.
I think you should go ahead and name him, he deserves to be named even if he doesn't make it.
Good luck, I really hope he gets well soon.
Thanks Everyone. I think I'm going to do the AQ salt first thing, I won't feed him for 2 days and see how he is.. I've decided to name him Fighter, because he's faught to live this long and I think if he has, he's more then willing to keep trying..
He is currently in a 1/2 gallon tank, but I set it up with only a very thin level of gravel on the bottom (since his tank is sitting on a heater, so it won't get too hot..) and I've only placed 1-2 inches of water in the bowl since he has troube swimming..
How do I do his treatment? It's a tsp per gallon, so I do a 1/2 a tsp for AQ salt, But if he needs a lower water level, then what? Do I fill the whole things and let him sit in the 1/2g for 10-15 then lower it to where it was again?
Thanks to everyone for responding & for everyone who will.. Fighter is my little angel right now, dying or not, he deserves a fighting chance..
I'm so mad at myself because he was $3.99 at PetSmart and the lady only gave me 15% off, I wanted to argue that he should be at least 50% off, but I felt it was more important that he gets home, warm, and in a better envirment.. he was in those small little cups that aren't roung, but are tall, with blue water, and he struggled to get air.. It was breaking my heart (Like I stated, I almost got that orange dal..) but I couldn't leave him.. No one is gonna buy a sick fish just to save him.. Its betta lovers like us that'll do the good deed.. | <urn:uuid:81443466-21bb-4545-b21e-65c53c5f3463> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.bettafish.com/showthread.php?t=65712 | 2014-08-23T20:07:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500826679.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021346-00430-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982346 | 1,268 |
Osterhout, Willard - Memories
Our family moved to Warner’s Lake in November of 1970. For several years after that, we ran a snack bar, beach and a marina with a launch ramp, boat rentals, dock space and a gas pump. After we closed the beach and snack bar, we continued to operate the launch and rent boats until 1997 when we lost part of our house to fire. At that time, we decided to retire.
During our time here at the lake, we have gained many fond and often amusing memories. In the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s, the State maintained a trout-stocking program at Warner’s Lake. Each spring they would stock 2500-3000 rainbow trout. During this time, after April 1st when the trout season opened and the ice melted away from the shore, enough to provide some open water, fishermen and women would line our waterfront (elbow to elbow) to fish for these trout. There was always a 55-gallon drum and some firewood on the beach so they could build a fire to warm themselves. Many times, people would gather at our window inside to watch these dedicated fishermen as they fished during a spring snowstorm.
Another aspect of the trout fishing was those who chose to fish at night. Everyone would fashion some kind of reflector with a snap hook on it that would mount on the oarlock of the boat. They would hang a Coleman lantern on the hook so it reflected into the water. This would attract the trout. Favorite baits were worms (either night crawlers or dug) and whole kernel corn. Many fishermen believed that their success depended on which worm or which brand of corn you used! As if the fish could tell. Every fisherman had his or her favorite spot to night fish. There were many evenings when you could see a couple dozen boats with their lanterns scattered about the lake. All of this trout fishing ended in the 70’s when the state stopped their stocking program.
One of my favorite stories to recall is about the man who decided to rig the mast on his sailboat across the street in our parking lot prior to launching. Unfortunately, he forgot about the telephone cables hanging along the highway and as he backed across the road, his mast got caught and flipped his boat off the trailer into the middle of the highway. Traffic was tied up until the mast was removed and we found enough people to pick the boat up and put it back on the trailer.
During the winter of 1971-72, our good friend Tom Arcolano decided he would build a wooden boat strictly for use on Warner’s Lake. It was 16ft long, 4ft wide and had a flat bottom for stability. The power was supplied by an antique 19hp Johnson Sea Horse. It was launched in the spring of 1972 and was christened “The Blue Goose” by Jerri Osterhout. The name came from the lovely dark blue color used to paint it. The Arcolano’s and Osterhout’s used the “Goose” for many years, and when it was retired, the front was cut off and used as a doghouse for many more years. The remainder of the craft was used for kindling wood to start many a warm fire in the Osterhout’s wood stove.
Dan Stadler, a good friend of Jerris and myself, launched his older wooden boat one beautiful warm summer day. He had his wife and daughter with him and was checking the boat out after replacing the steering cables. You remember those old cables that wrapped around a drum behind the steering wheel under the dash. It seems that Dan had them on wrong because when he turned right, the boat went left and it created quite a sight until he got back to shore where he could fix them.
One Fathers Day, a young man rented a rowboat to take his father fishing for the day. Upon their return the son beached the boat and jumped out. He grabbed the front of the boat to pull it up on shore at the same time his father stood up in the back of the boat; you know the rest of the story, a big splash as dad took a swim. I’m sure that is a Fathers Day he will never forget.
As all you boaters know, you must put your drain plug in before you launch your boat. How often people forget to do this and we watch on shore as they try to figure out where all of the water is coming from inside their boats. My wife can often be found standing on the porch reminding people to check their drain plugs.
At one of our Lake Association Dinner Dances, my friend Tom Arcolano won the infamous Bacardi Rum Canoe. A beautiful bright red inflatable craft with the logo printed on the side. It was very popular and we used it for years. There were many disputes over whether the adults or children got to play with the float.
A special attraction at Osterhout’s Beach was a 15-foot high fiberglass aqua slide mounted out in the water. It became very popular and always had a line waiting to go down it. You could go down it any way you chose, except standing which was not allowed. I recall one night after my wife and I had retired for the evening, a relative who shall remain nameless, and some of his friends decided to go skinny-dipping. The large Aqua slide we had in the swimming area had to be wet down before you could use it. Unfortunately, this individual had never heard that before and neglected to do so. Have you ever heard a wet bare bottom sliding down a dry fiberglass slide before? It makes your hair stand up on end. If you didn’t know who the skinny dipper was that night, you sure could tell the next day by the way this guy was walking, and how he sat down!
One Sunday morning a man arrived early to use the beach. We didn’t open until 11:00 so he sat in his bathing suit in a lawn chair and read his Sunday paper. About this same time, I was walking by my workshop at the corner of the building and noticed a couple of bats hanging under the porch. I decided I should get rid of them before we opened. I got a can of wasp and hornet spray from my workshop and gave them a quick spray. One immediately fell to the ground; the other however had enough strength to flutter towards the beach. You guessed it, that bat landed on that mans shoulder and slid down his chest onto his lap. Never before have I seen a man leap out of a lawn chair like that scattering his paper all over while doing a bazaar little dance across the beach.. I quietly slipped into my shop out of sight while trying to control my laughter.
For a couple of years, the East Berne Businessmen sponsored ice-skating at our house on Wednesday nights and on weekends. A sizeable area was kept plowed and occasionally was flooded to provide smooth ice. It was illuminated in the evening. This encouraged the entire town to enjoy the splendor of this beautiful lake.
As you all know, Loch Ness has Nessie, Lake Champlain has Champ and in 1998, Warnie (so named by Lee Jones) appeared at Osterhout’s on Warner’s Lake. Warnie was a strange looking green, yellow and orange sea serpent that showed up one summer and every summer since. Many visitors stop by to say hello, especially those with small children with them. It can’t be determined at this time how long Warnie may stay at Warner’s Lakes, but he sure does love his time here, and he has a big smile for everyone who stops by to see him. | <urn:uuid:6e97b2e9-72be-45de-9a7c-feeeedf06e6a> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.albanyhilltowns.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Osterhout,_Willard_-_Memories | 2015-05-25T09:29:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207928479.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113208-00271-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984082 | 1,614 |
View Full Version : Tight Bindings??
03-10-2007, 11:06 PM
I have a pair of 06 Parks Bindings XL and they are so tight.. I have had them for about a year and after about 15 mins they kinda hurt. Whats the best way to break them in? I have heard of people wearing them in the hot tub, but i don't have one ..... plus all the chorline might be bad. But how would some hot water in the bathtub do instead?
And will a slower board work your upper body and hands more? Because I rode my new Murray for the first time and its supposed to be a pretty slow board. My hands and feet were hurting and going nub.... It felt like i was havign to grip the handle more..... Maybe im just to used to my old byerly?? not sure..
03-10-2007, 11:14 PM
Hmmm, maybe you have big feet. And you know what they say about big feet... small bindings make your feet hurt.
I think you just have to bite the bullet and break them in, unless they truly don't fit. My buddy rides a pair of '01 Belmonts because he doesn't want to break a new pair in.
I think a bigger board or slower board will probably work you a little more. I ride a 141, which is kind of big for my size, and I have to work a lot more for surface tricks, spins, edging than I did when I rode a 136, but there is def. more pop.
I've rode the Watson a few times last year, and I thought it was a lot faster than my HL Premier. Or maybe you are out of shape like me, because the seaon is just starting up again?! What size is that Watson, I've been looking for a 138 if you just can't stand it!
03-10-2007, 11:21 PM
ya i now what they say about big feet... Big bindgins
lol but Parks run smaller than most bindings so an XL might be a L i think i might try my tub theory and see how that goes.... It would be just like wakeboarding on the equator... so warm!! but its not so bad here in the panhandle
do you know what they say about big hands??? Bigger handle!!
03-10-2007, 11:21 PM
How did the 96 run today? Mine ran great!!
03-10-2007, 11:22 PM
Get them hot in the shower, then use some canned vegetables to slide into the binding. Allow them to dey a few days. Try um on and repeat if necessary. I did this with mine and they will strech a little. You might have to use a larger can the second time.
03-10-2007, 11:26 PM
Get them hot in the shower, then use some canned vegetables to slide into the binding.
Hot shower and canned vegetables, eh?! Haha.
Hockey, the '96 ran like a champ today. I noticed a little cavitation (sp?) from the transmission when I tried to put it in drive before the RPM's settled, but that's probably my fault.
I think HL bindings are pretty standard on size. I wear a large and I have a 10.5-11 foot, and they are just right.
03-10-2007, 11:31 PM
Ya it was a great day on the water today.. i'm going out again tomorrow. Going to try hot bathtub method and see what happens...
03-11-2007, 12:12 AM
Just finished seems like the lossened up quite a bit!
03-11-2007, 03:27 PM
The 06 Parks definitely run small.
I have a pair of 05 Large Parks and a pair of 06 Large Parks.
The 06's are definitely much tighter than my 05's.
Either ride a bunch to break them in or try the hot water and canned vegetable trick. They should stretch out in just a few days. Just start smaller so you don't stretch them out TOO much. | <urn:uuid:8595890e-899f-41c9-8a2a-a95c4da27bf6> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/archive/index.php/t-14798.html | 2017-01-17T17:56:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560279933.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095119-00195-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961786 | 861 |

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
Dated : 13.09.2017
THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE R.SURESH KUMAR
CRL.R.C.No.852 of 2016
2.Sahana … Petitioners
G.Chandrashekar … Respondent
Prayer : Revision is filed under Sections 397 and 401 of Cr.P.C. to enhance the amount awarded by the trial Court passed in M.C.No.28 of 2015, dated 21.03.2016 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Alandur and to that of 1,00,000/- to the 1st petitioner and 1,00,000/- to the 2nd petitioner from the quantum to grant such other equitable reliefs.
For Petitioners : Mr.K.P.Gopalakrishnan
For Respondent : Mr.S.Raja
This revision case has been filed against the order passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate, Alandur in M.C.No.28 of 2015 dated 21.03.2016.
The very short facts which are required to be noticed for the purpose of disposal of this revision are as follows:
2.The 1st petitioner is the wife and the 2nd petitioner is the daughter of the respondent. They filed M.C.No.28 of 2015 before the trial Court, seeking maintenance from the respondent, at the rate of Rs.1,00,000/- to the 1st petitioner and Rs.1,00,000/- to the 2nd petitioner and also, Rs.1,00,000/- as litigation expenses.
3.Though notice had been served, the respondent did not appear before the trial Court. He has been set ex parte and an ex parte order was passed on 21.03.2016. By the impugned order, the trial Court has directed the respondent to pay a sum of Rs.12,000/- to the 1st petitioner and Rs.8,000/- to the 2nd petitioner as monthly maintenance, from the date of petition. As against the said order, the present revision has been filed by the petitioners i.e., the wife and the child, for enhancement. The respondent/husband has not filed any revision against the said order, by thus, he has accepted the said order, though he was set ex parte before the trial Court.
4.I have heard Mr.K.P.Gopalakrishnan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners. By relying upon certain documents before this Court, he would state that the respondent is running a Company at London and out of which, he is earning a lot and also, he is working in a Company for a handsome salary. Therefore, he is earning lakhs and lakhs of rupees per month. That apart, according to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, the respondent is having worthy immovable properties at Hyderabad and other places including a property at London and therefore, he is affordable to pay a higher maintenance to his wife and child. Therefore, the learned counsel would state that the order passed by the trial Court, directing the respondent to pay only a sum of Rs.12,000/- and Rs.8,000/-, respectively, to the petitioners 1 and 2, as maintenance per month, is very meager amount, within which both the petitioners cannot lead a comfortable and respectable life, by taking a residence for rent at Chennai. Therefore, he would state that the said order awarding the maintenance of Rs.12,000/- plus Rs.8,000/-, totaling Rs.20,000/- by the trial Court, has to be modified and the said amount has to be enhanced.
5.Per contra, the learned counsel appearing for the respondent would state that as the respondent is residing and working at London, he could not appear before the trial Court. Taking advantage of the said situation that the respondent did not appear before the trial Court, the petitioner had claimed a higher maintenance by making an allegation that the respondent is earning lakhs and lakhs of rupees out of his job as well from his Company. In this regard, the learned counsel appearing for the respondent would state that the said Company as alleged by the petitioner in London was already closed. According to the learned counsel appearing for the respondent, in fact, the respondent has lost his permanent job at London and at present, he is working, that too on temporary basis for which he is getting a salary of Rs.1,00,000/- per month. According to the learned counsel, the respondent has to give up the said job within a few months, as the Visa of the respondent is going to expire and at any rate, he has to return back to the home Country within a few months. Therefore, in this situation, the respondent has not appeared before the trial Court. Admittedly, the respondent did not appear before the trial Court. By taking into account the version of the petitioners, the trial Court has awarded the said sum towards maintenance to the petitioners.
6.Nevertheless, the respondent, having accepted the said order, has started paying the said amount, without fail. The learned counsel would also state that out of the arrears amount of Rs.4,60,000/- from the date of petition till date, as ordered by the trial Court, the respondent has already paid a sum of Rs.3,60,000/- approximately to the petitioners and only the remaining arrears of Rs.1,00,000/-, has to be paid. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent would also state that if the respondent is given a chance to prove his case before the trial Court, he would be in a position to establish that he is not a millionaire and he is not earning lakhs and lakhs of rupees per month and based on the annual income of the respondent, some workable order can be passed by the trial Court.
7.I have considered the said rival submissions made by both sides.
8.It is not in dispute that the 1st petitioner is the wife of the respondent and the 2nd petitioner is the child, born to the 1st petitioner and the respondent. Though the marital relationship estranged, she has not been severed legally and admittedly, the divorce petition seems to have been filed by the respondent/husband was got dismissed.
9.Therefore, there can be no quarrel that the respondent has to pay maintenance to the petitioners. Because the respondent was absent before the trial Court, the trial Court has no other option, except to come to the conclusion that the said version has to be accepted and the respondent was directed to pay a sum of Rs.20,000/- as maintenance to the petitioners. According to the trial Court Judge, the said claim of Rs.1,00,000/- to each of the petitioners was considered to be on the higher side.
10.Whether the respondent is actually earning such huge money every month or now getting very less salary, as claimed by the parties, cannot be gone into at this stage. These evidences or documents whatsoever have not been projected before the trial Court and there was no claim and counter claim by way of documents. In view of the said position, in order to give a quietus to the issues raised in this revision, as both the parties agreed upon to settle certain issues and only with regard to the quantum of maintenance payable by the respondent alone it is disputed, this Court is of the view that the matter can be remanded back to the trial Court with suitable direction for early disposal.
11.In the result, the following orders are passed in this revision:
(1)The impugned order is set aside.
(2)The matter is remitted back to the trial Court for rehearing / reconsideration.
(3)Both the petitioners as well as the respondent shall appear before the trial Court either in person or through pleader and they must produce whatever evidence available with them to the trial Court and co-operate with the trial Court to complete the trial by way of rehearing and to come to a just and reasonable conclusion regarding the claim and counter claim of both the parties pertaining to the income of the respondent and quantum of maintenance to be paid or payable by the respondent to the petitioners.
12.In such event, the learned Judicial Magistrate can go into the matter by way of rehearing/retrial on the basis of the available evidence to be adduced by both sides.
13.However, in the meanwhile, as an interim measure, the said direction given by the trial Court to the respondent to pay maintenance for a sum of Rs.12,000/- Plus Rs.8,000/- to the petitioners 1 and 2, respectively, is hereby modified that the respondent shall pay a sum of Rs.25,000/- to the 1st petitioner and Rs.15,000/- to the 2nd petitioner, as an interim maintenance per month, till the disposal of the Maintenance Case by the trial Court.
14.Insofar as the payment of arrears of maintenance is concerned, calculating at the rate of Rs.20,000/- as ordered by the trial Court, the arrears amount has come to Rs.4,60,000/-. Admittedly, the petitioners have received a sum of Rs.3,60,000/- from the respondent. Therefore, the remaining amount of Rs.1,00,000/- towards arrears of maintenance calculating at the rate of Rs.20,000/- per month as directed by the trial Court, shall be paid by the respondent within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Insofar as the current maintenance as enhanced above, i.e., Rs.40,000/- per month to the petitioners, shall be paid by the respondent every month on or before 10th of every succeeding English calendar month.
With these directions, this Criminal Revision Case is disposed of.

"DissemiNETion" (1998) is an internet project by Beth Stryker and Sawad Brooks.
Designed as a Java-based client-server system, DissemiNET is a curated and public participatory system conceived to elaborate a diaspora on the web. Creating a repository for personal and social memory, DissemiNET uses Internet technologies to give visual form to the transactions (deposits, retrievals, and loss) through which we experience memory. Disposed on a boundary between identity (i.e. national and personal) and its dispersal over the web, DissemiNET is conceived to trace connections between people in terms of "digi-texts," creating a cross-linked, communal storytelling space.
The DissemiNETion installation features two telematic instruments as interfaces between the transient public space of the gallery, and the cumulative public webspace of DissemiNET. Providing a gathering space and region for dispatches to DissemiNET, these freestanding hardware/software interfaces to a local community are designed for multiple user viewing and input (collection) and output (recollection). | <urn:uuid:a3f2ad8a-2b20-4b18-8bbb-8cf0b3e1b87c> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://v2.nl/archive/works/disseminetion | 2015-05-06T20:37:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1430459200931.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20150501054640-00009-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.900835 | 237 |

Regulating Bodies: Explorations in Spaying & Neutering
By, Meredith H. Clark, Doctoral Student in Gender Studies at Arizona State University
Socially constructed identity categories, meanings and differences become imprinted upon the bodies of nonhuman companion animals in the scope of human-animal relationships and interactions. Utilizing a mixed methods approach I will discuss the intersectionally-situated politics of spaying and neutering, focusing especially on artificial testicles called Neuticles that are inserted in place of a male animal’s actual testicles after he is “fixed.” Interrogating these narratives also reveals that the presence (or lack thereof) of a dog’s testicles has the ability to frame constructions of (e)masculinity and (hetero)sexuality in dogs and their human “masters.”
Such a consideration will allow me to examine how intersectionally situated narratives become imprinted upon nonhuman companion animals and vice versa, thus providing an example of the complex relationality that exists between species. For in the relationship(s) between nonhuman and human animals, the boundaries surrounding what it means to be(come) human are blurred, demonstrating, as Donna Haraway pointed out in When Species Meet, that our relationship’s with companion species “make a mess out of categories in the making of kin and kind. Queer messiness in mortal play, indeed” (2007: 19).
I will also explore various U.S. state laws that regulate the reproductive capabilities of nonhuman companion animal bodies. These breeding, spaying and neutering laws vary substantially by state and often reflect in rather interesting ways the various state’s demographics and pervasive ideologies. And while the impact and success of the laws vary depending upon a variety of factors, they all act as sites shaped by our current neoliberal biopolitical structure where one can explore numerous physical and affective consequences for human and nonhuman animal bodies.
This analysis will also demonstrate how humans imprint oftentimes-stereotypical, hierarchically-drenched meanings onto the animal others that they interact with in their daily lives. How and why those gendered, as well as racialized, classed and sexualized stereotypes develop has real, lived implications on the inter-reliant lives of humans and nonhuman animals. These explorations also demonstrate that the seemingly simple question “to neuter or not to neuter?” that appears on the surface to exist in the realm of the biological, of nature, quickly reveals itself as a space where Harawayan notions of natureculture materially and discursively manifest. In exploring the entangled situatedness of these categories while simultaneously working to destabilize the nature/culture and human/nonhuman dichotomies, as well as other problematic and limiting dualisms, one comes to see that there always exist more layers, further knots, that need to be disentangled.

By Dylan Welch
On April 17, 1987, Soviet Spetsnatz troops launched a week-long attack against a fortified cave compound in Afghanistan, near a town called Jaji, run by a quietly spoken Saudi Arabian.
Despite being outnumbered by at least four to one, the Arab fighters at Jaji held out under intense fire for several days, and despite their young leader suffering a foot wound, he managed to escape alive.
That near-miss almost a quarter of century ago marked the first time people came to kill Osama bin Laden.
In 1994 bin Laden, then living in Khartoum after being exiled from Saudi Arabia, survived another attempt on his life, when four veterans of the Afghan war shot up a local mosque and engaged in a firefight with bin Laden's bodyguards.
By January 1996 the CIA had become concerned enough by bin Laden's terrorism financing that they created an office dedicate to tracking him. Formally known as the Bin Laden Issue Station, and codenamed Alex, it operated under the Agency's Counterterrorist Centre.
While the CIA continued to see bin Laden as a financier rather than a terrorist, his role in funnelling money to international terrorist groups in North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia gave him new prominence.
'The CIA … viewed bin Laden as 'one of the most significant financiers of Islamic extremist activities in the world','' wrote Steve Coll, a Washington Post journalist, in his 2004 book Ghost Wars.
By 1996 the US was pressuring the Sudanese government about the Saudi's presence in their country and bin Laden flew with his family to Afghanistan.
Soon after the CIA contacted a group of Afghan tribal fighters, who had worked for the CIA during the Soviet war in Afghanistan and had been used to hunt in Afghanistan for other terrorists, and gave them a new mission.
In 1998 tribal gunmen launched an unsuccessful ambush on a road near Kandahar against a convoy believed to be carrying bin Laden.
Senior CIA officers also contemplated a strike against a terrorist training camp outside Kandahar called Tarnak Farms where bin Laden occasionally lived, but the then US president Bill Clinton, concerned about possible civilian casualties from the action, twice denied permission for an attack.
The same year as many as 75 Tomahawk missiles slammed into a terrorist training camp called Zhawar Kili in eastern Afghanistan following reports bin Laden was there. At least 21 people were killed. Bin Laden was not among them.
For several years two US submarines bearing cruise missiles took up positions off the coast of Pakistan, so that if CIA officers or their sources found bin Laden the missiles could be launched in minutes.
Despite rising concern about bin Laden and al-Qaeda, CIA budget cuts and the lack of good sources in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan hampered actionable plans.
CIA officers trained and armed a secret cadre of soldiers from Afghanistan's northern neighbour, Uzbekistan, but they were never used.
The CIA also continued to fund the Taliban's main domestic opposition, the Northern Alliance, run by Ahmad Shah Massoud, but over several years Massoud's men only managed to launch one failed attack on bin Laden.
But if the push to kill bin Laden struggled before September 11, 2001, after the attacks the US embarked upon what must be the greatest manhunt in recent history.
With Americans in a state of shock, President George Bush unleashed not only a massive overt war in Afghanistan - and later in Iraq - he also gave US special forces and the CIA new leeway to hunt down and ''kill or capture'' bin Laden.
In December 2001, shortly after the US invaded Afghanistan, coalition forces launched a huge attack on the Tora Bora cave complex in eastern Afghanistan.
With a large part of al-Qaeda's leadership believed to be operating from the caves, the Coalition launched a five-day push by Afghan soldiers backed by special forces soldiers and air strikes into the area, but bin Laden escaped into Pakistan.
Over the next nine years audio and video tapes of bin Laden discussing current affairs and issuing threats against the West became a constant irritant to the US.
Despite a stream of top-secret raids, air bombardments and, from 2006, drone strikes, bin Laden remained a frustratingly elusive figure.
Late last year an unnamed NATO official told CNN that bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, were believed to be hiding close to each other in houses in north-western Pakistan. ''Nobody in al-Qaeda is living in a cave,'' the official said, adding that bin Laden and al-Zawahiri were living in relative comfort, protected by elements of the Pakistani intelligence services.
The comment prompted a US official to deny that they knew where the world's most wanted man was.
''If we knew where he was - in a house, an apartment, a villa or an underground cave or bunker - we would have gotten him,'' the unnamed official said.
''We can't rule out he may be in a cave one day and a house in a city on another.''

SUMMIT — Opponents of Atlantic Health’s quest to build a helipad at Overlook Medical Center worry that the medical group will turn to the state Department of Transportation to make it happen.
According to an email received from “Citizens Against The Helipad” the group anticipates Atlantic Health will take a lesson from Donald Trump’s play book and file an application with DOT to build a helipad.
Trump wanted to build a helipad at Trump Golf Course in Colt’s Neck and had been turned down by its zoning board, according to the group’s release. His helipad was approved in December 2012 after a state appellate court judge ruled the "state’s transportation commissioner had the final say on okaying the project — despite local objections to the plan," according to the Star-Ledger.
Similarly, an appeal was recently filed regarding the DOT's intent to issue a license to the Johnson family for a helistop on their Tewksbury farm. The township Land Use Board had denied their application.
Atlantic Health, which has not confirmed that it will apply to the DOT, was not immediately available for comment.
UPDATE: Atlantic Health: No decision yet on appeal to DOT to build helipad
The opposition group sent the release to appeal for funds, because “this new aspect of the case has required us to consult with experts in regulatory law and NJ lobbyists.”
As expected, the hospital system filed an appeal of the recent Superior Court decision with the NJ Appellate Court. The court affirmed the Zoning Board’s rejection of Overlook's application. Citizens Against the Helipad will file a brief with the court and anticipates that Summit will also respond to the appeal. The citizens group will continue to use Michael Kates of Kates, Nussman, Rapone, Ellis & Farhi, LLP as its counsel.
The anticipated application to the DOT would, however, require even more billable hours, so the group is appealing to its members and supporters to donate to the cause. | <urn:uuid:e4509b75-1aa0-4fa8-961a-6543604bd68f> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.nj.com/independentpress/index.ssf/2013/05/citizens_against_overlooks_hel.html | 2015-02-28T02:29:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936461647.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074101-00067-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963941 | 431 |
Scott McCulloch is Editor of Families in Business magazine.
Spot an opportunity and see it through could be the Khayyat family motto. But 'one door closes and another one opens' seems more apt for the canny family behind Meatco, Jordan's masters of survival and economic opportunism
A mild look of bewilderment on Jack Khayyat's face must have betrayed a belly full of hope when the 25-year old graduate from Jaffa first set foot in Jordan's dusty capital city Amman. For it was 1958, a relatively placid year in a turbulent decade that saw Jordan annex the West Bank, lose a king to Palestinian gunmen and wave goodbye to withdrawing British troops.
There are the Bible stories, lost cities, Lawrence of Arabia – Jordan has romantic associations up to its eyeballs. But what about Jack who graduated with honours from the the American University of Beirut in 1956, armed with a degree in agriculture?
Times were good. King Hussein, Abdullah's grandson, took over in 1953 and reigned over a period of prosperity, much of it as a result of international aid and tourist interest in the West Bank and Jerusalem. So in 1958 Jack started his own company, Khayyat Agricultural & Trading Co, which would later become Middle East Agricultural & Trading Co, or Meatco, as it is called today.
Building an empire
Back then, as now, Jack had sought fresh, unexploited opportunities. He began importing day-old chicks by air from Holland and distributing them to local farmers. Veterinary products were also arranged and special feed concentrates, procured from the US, primed the poultry industry, if not the birds, for take-off.
It flew. But chickens, it seemed to Jack, were like rabbits. "The poultry industry is a fast growing one," he recalls. That's what you get when you wade into the commercial waters of breeding, hatcheries and feed mills. Jack hatched an idea: he hired an agriculturalist to teach Jordan's farmers better techniques.
By the 1970s Jack controlled 60% of his chosen market. His blood may not have been blue, but as Jordan's 'Poultry King' it was spiced from the delectations of 'Quick Meal Broasted Chicken' – his first diversification strategy and Jordan's first fast food chain. Irrigated olive groves and canned food operations soon followed on a parcel of land fringing the Jordanian desert. Times in the Kingdom were good.
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a small country with limited natural resources, but for years it has played a pivotal role in the struggle for power in the Middle East. Jordan's significance results partly from its strategic location at the crossroads of what most Christians, Jews and Muslims call the Holy Land.
The challenge of war
But what of opportunities for Middle Eastern entrepreneurs? "Being a pioneer has its advantages and disadvantages," says Jack. "Sometimes you start a project when people aren't ready for it." Sometimes problems boil down to chaotic geopolitical events.
Despite the region's instability, some economies are doing better than usual. When war in Iraq loomed, the country's Arab neighbours predicted dire consequences for themselves. Egypt's government said it expected the country to lose up to US$3 billion, with tourists flocking elsewhere and contracts with Iraq abandoned. Jordan and Syria dreaded being cut off from cheap Iraqi oil. Bahrain and Dubai feared a flight of investors. Regional shippers bemoaned hefty increases in their insurance bills.
In fact, some Arab countries have done quite nicely. In its latest quarterly report the World Bank said Jordan withstood the shock economically and politically better than most observers had expected and proved able to resume normal economic activity. This renewed proof of resilience bodes well for the future, although some of the long-term impact of the conflict will still pose challenges for the years to come. "Jordan managed the challenges it faced well during and after the war in Iraq," the bank said. For Jack, the country's big challenge is reeling in foreign investors. But to economists at the Oxford Business Group, specialists in Middle Eastern economic analysis, paying down $8 billion in national debt is a priority.
Still Jordan's achievements have been impressive. From the early 1970s to 2001, life expectancy has leapt from 58 to 72 years. Adult literacy rocketed to 90% and infant mortality rates have tumbled. It wasn't always so. In 1986 King Hussein severed political links with the PLO, 12 years after recognising the organisation as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. Two years later the monarch backed the Palestinian intifada against Israeli rule. Twelve months on, in 1989, rioting over price increases rocked several cities.
The early 1980s, recalls Jack, were eventful if not hot. It was also an era that saw the family element of the business emerge. In 1981 Jack's son George, agriculture degree in hand, entered the fray. Less than 12 months earlier Iraq, Jordan's neighbour to the east, invaded Iran following border skirmishes and a dispute over the al-Arab waterway. Yet by some miracle the bitter eight-year war offered a "tremendous boost" to Meatco's egg-hatching and canned food operations. "Meatco expanded and became the largest hatching-egg producer in Jordan and one of the largest in the Middle East exporting to Iraq under the Jordan-Iraq protocol," recalls Jack. Today, Iraq is Jordan's second biggest trading partner after the US, accounting for 12.6% of exports worth $260 million a year.
On 2 August 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait, sparking off the Gulf war. The six-week conflict was short-lived. But, as Jack recalls, "the situation changed" soon afterwards. Indeed, between US cruise missile attacks in 1993 and the unceremonious ousting of UN weapons inspectors years later, Jack witnessed a key market evaporate. "Meatco lost its main export market," he recalls. Unprofitable poultry operations were shuttered and Meatco's diversification blueprints would be pored over once again.
Small market, big competition
By then George was heading up Meatco's trading operations. Jack's daughter, Dina, a business graduate from George Washington University, had been aboard since 1984 running Meatco's canned food business and turning her hand to the firm's promising joint venture with Best Foods, makers of Knorr soups and Mazola, one of America's most recognised corn oil brands. Muna, Jack's other daughter, had entered the fray in 1985 to manage government tenders and head up exports for Best Foods Jordan.
But the first Gulf war had brought economic stagnation and popular support – largely from Jordanians of Palestinian origin – for Saddam Hussein. Ensuring the survival of the family business would concentrate the minds of the Khayyat clan.
Having all but lost the important Iraqi market, Meatco threw itself into its joint venture with Best Foods, producing soups and corn oil for the domestic market. "The Jordanian market at that time was dominated by Maggie (Nestle) and in two years Knorr became the leader," recalls Jack with pride. But the fickle finger or fate would tap the family business in 2000 when Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch food and consumer products giant, announced its intention to snap up Best Foods in a transaction that would exceed $20 billion. By 2001 the merger had accelerated. Best Foods' operations were duly consolidated with Unilever closing a unit in Jordan and shifting operations to Egypt. Egypt was the larger market. Best Foods' decision simply boiled down to economies of scale. "When you're placed in a market with a large population, your local market plays a big role in expansion – exports are bonus," he reasons. "When you're placed in a small, local market the opposite applies and you start relying on exports that face severe competition from international companies; consequently our food manufacturing unit was closed in 2002."
Moving into real estate
But as Alexander Graham Bell once said: "When one door closes another door opens." Jack couldn't agree more. "Survival in a small market, in a politically unstable area, is not easy but it provides incentives to look for opportunities." Such reasoning is probably why Meatco is around today, turning over a tidy $8 million a year with 70 employees. There are other reasons. Having morphed from an agriculture and agro-related products company to a real estate development concern meant opportunities needed to arise, and be exploited.
Enter the Qualified Industrial Zone (QIZ). QIZs are special trading areas that encourage inward investment through hefty tax breaks on exports. Although Jordan is an old hand at the 'free zone' concept, having set up special trade zones as far back as 1973, the QIZ actually turns the free zone concept on its head by giving manufacturers duty-free and quota-free access to the US market, rather than providing a duty-free zone within the country. Developed to encourage Jordanian-Israeli business co-operation in the wake of the 1994 peace treaty, the QIZ concept offers some unique features. "The first qualified zone in Jordan was granted to a government-owned industrial estate," recalls Jack. "The concept attracted textile and garment manufacturers from Asia and Southeast Asia that saw the opportunity to start manufacturing in Jordan, thus saving on the quotas and duties and making their landed price in the US more economical."
By 2000 the zones were attracting strong attention from US, Israeli and, increasingly, Southeast Asian investors. The first QIZs were at the state-owned Jordan Industrial Estates Corporation (JIEC) Hassan Industrial Estate in Irbid where four companies were producing for the US market. By 2000 around 25 companies – half of which were building factories – had signed contracts with the JIEC to operate in the zone.
For Jack and family, QIZs were a "golden opportunity". Meatco already owned a large tract of land which could be converted into an industrial park once the basic infrastructure was in place. The family business submitted a request to the government seeking permission to re-purpose the land as a QIZ. "In the meantime, before obtaining approval, Meatco started developing the infrastructure by opening roads, parcelling the land and ensuring access to water and electricity," says Jack. In 2001 Meatco was given the approval it sought. Jordan's first privately-held industrial park was a reality. Things were looking up. Only weeks later, King Adbullah and presidents Bashar al-Assad of Syria and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt inaugurated a $300 million electricity line linking the grids of the three countries.
Meatco began pitching its QIZ to dozens of garment manufacturers throughout the eastern hemisphere. In a series of trips and seminars, and in destinations as far-flung as Taiwan, China and Bangladesh, the company touted the enviable benefits of exporting duty-free from Jordan into an insatiable US market. Despite the Middle East's unpredictable political comportment, 1994's peace dividend looked a tidy sum. "We were able to attract 18 large garment companies that have already established their manufacturing facilities at Ad-Dulayl Industrial Park," says Jack with a flourish. "These companies now employ 8,000 labourers, and last year exports to the US from our park reached $93 million."
Jack expects employment to reach 12,000 this year with exports in the vicinity of $150 million. The semi-desert land that has been converted into an industrial park and has changed the lives of many. Once jobless, agricultural workers now have work. Living standards, says Jack, are also on the up.
Moving towards expansion
What of the future? "We are increasing the services provided at our park by building factories, dormitories and providing catering for the employees," says Jack. "We expect the number of factories to triple in the coming few years." Meanwhile, Jack, George and Dina now manage the industrial park as a team. The man from Jaffa done good. | <urn:uuid:9d09781c-e36f-4fec-ba75-34503b95249d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.campdenfb.com/article/jack-and-peace-dividend | 2021-10-22T09:03:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585504.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022084005-20211022114005-00142.warc.gz | en | 0.967965 | 2,459 |

Law School: An Unlikely Mentor
BOND: But let me ask you this. Here's Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, Martin Luther King. These are very different men.
BISHOP: They are.
BOND: Very different men. How did you take inspiration from each of them and make them into something that was good for Sanford Bishop?
BISHOP: Well, I guess it was a combination of all of the experiences in my life. While Malcolm X, Minister Farrakhan and Elijah Muhammad seemed to have initially believed that the white man was a devil, my experience taught me different. It taught me that there were good white men and there were bad white men and there were good black men and there were bad black men.
I should share an experience I had my first year at Law School at Emory. I went in 1968. There was a professor, receding hairline, wire-rimmed glasses, a stubby cigar in his mouth, a big wide-breast particular tie on, deep southern drawl and he was a real property instructor. His name was Professor William Agnor. Dr. Agnor walked in that particular day with a Wallace for President tie clamp on his tie. I was sitting on the front row. My name started with B. I said, "I'm in the wrong place. No sense in my even trying to do anything here. This man is for George Wallace." So I did not push myself. I might cut class; I might not. If he called on me, I might be prepared; I might not, but the only thing that really counted in law school was what you did on the exam.
I got my examination paper back. I had a C. I was incensed because I had gotten an A in one class, a B in others and, you know, and so I march in to see Dr. Agnor. "Dr. Agnor, why did I only get a C in your class? I got an A in this and a B in this and a B in that. Why did I get just a C in your class?" And he looks at me and he says, "Well, Sanford, you got a C because you wrote a C paper." He said, "If you try a little bit harder, you might do a little bit better." So the second quarter I worked a little bit hard harder, not full force, but just a little bit. I got a B. So I said, "Hmmm." The third quarter I gave it everything I had and I aced the course. I got the top grade in the course. They called it booking the course. You got a jurisprudence book from one of the book publishing companies for that. That was the prize and, of course, then I went to see Dr. Agnor.
"Dr. Agnor, I had you wrong." I said, "I thought you were a racist, a segregationist and I didn't think you would be fair." He said, "Well, Sanford, I tell you the truth. I was one of those professors at Emory that fought the admission of blacks to the law school but I'm happy to say that I lived long enough to realize I was wrong." He said, "There're black students that belong at Emory and there're white students that belong at Emory. There're white students that don't belong here and there're black students that don't belong here, but you're one that belongs here and you're going to make a fine lawyer." And from that moment on, I took every course he taught and he was a mentor even after I got out of law school. | <urn:uuid:c862c8ee-04f5-49c7-be7d-7fd7bc0882e8> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://blackleadership.virginia.edu/videos/bishop-sanford/sb10 | 2017-04-28T17:50:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917123046.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031203-00009-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9907 | 784 |

Hiding a subdirectory means to make it invisible, except for its header line.
dired-hide-subdir). This is a toggle. A numeric argument serves as a repeat count.
dired-hide-all). Or, if any subdirectory is currently hidden, make all subdirectories visible again. You can use this command to get an overview in very deep directory trees or to move quickly to subdirectories far away.
Ordinary Dired commands never consider files inside a hidden subdirectory. For example, the commands to operate on marked files ignore files in hidden directories even if they are marked. Thus you can use hiding to temporarily exclude subdirectories from operations without having to remove the Dired marks on files in those subdirectories.

Heroines and Harridans is a tale of eccentricity (generally British), some bad behaviour (occasionally American) and rather odd love lives (some corking aristocrats). It is not by chance that the relation of matters in the past are called 'History'. It is, generally, 'his story' with many men doing grand things while the women stayed home to make the soup. Heroines and Harridans gives another, highly entertaining view on life as comedian Sandi Toksvig brings her trademark wit and humour to bear on 22 portraits of as eccentric a melange of women throughout history as you are ever likely to find. All of the featured characters were terrific good fun, helped shape the world they lived in but in many cases disappeared into obscurity. Each of Toksvig's gloriously funny pen portraits is accompanied by equally striking and imaginative illustrations by artist Sandy Nightingale.

A Conversation with Lois Rathvon, Labanotation Reconstructor and Stager
by Dean Speer and Francis Timlin
March 24, 2006 -- University of Washington, Seattle, Washington
We met on a bucolic spring day at a site on the University of Washington campus in Seattle overlooking glacial Lake Washington to discuss the role of notation in preserving and reconstructing historic dances. This is a summary of our conversation.
Let’s start by telling us a little bit about your dance background and how you got interested in Labanotation.
I began dancing after we moved to Tacoma when I was 12 years of age, never having any dance before then. My mother, who was a single mom before that was a popular phrase, wanted us to have lessons and we found a really good tap teacher who was teaching through the WPA program which put artists to work during The Depression. I got 10 classes for 50 cents! [Laughs.]
My first ballet teacher was Mrs. Thaynton Thayer – I don’t know why I remember that name but I do! I also began to take from Ivan Novikoff, who rode the bus to Tacoma to teach. This was at about the same time that Robert Joffrey took from him as well. At the time, I did not like dancing and performing with him, as I was so much taller! [Laughs.] Mr. Joffrey didn’t mention Novikoff in his background too much – more about Mary Ann Wells, as I believe Wells was a more important teacher.
I really wanted to dance in college, but except for the University of Utah, there really weren’t any dance departments in colleges at the time. You had to be a PE major, which is what I did at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, where I was fortunate to have a very good modern teacher.
I married, started teaching and continued to take classes wherever I went. I find it fun that I’ve come full circle now that I’m performing tap with The Fantastic Stardust Follies. We have a Broadway-Vegas show coming up this coming October (19-22) at the Liberty Dinner Theatre in Puyallup and performed on a cruise ship on the Mexican Riviera.
When I was in Richland, like most dance studios, I went through both barren and fertile periods. One of the fertile periods produced a small, good, talented group, which made me want to find a college for such students. (By the way, this group included Paula Prewett who later became ballet mistress at PNB [Pacific Northwest Ballet], Lisa Peterson who was on the PNB faculty, and Les Boday who is on the faculty of Jefferson High School for the Performing Arts in Portland.)
So while I was at the University of Utah, I bought the Ann Hutchinson Guest Labanotation book, brought it back with me to try to figure out – which I couldn’t! [Laughs.] In the meantime, we moved to New York, then to Los Angeles where I enrolled as a dance major at UCLA, after doing a modern dance audition. Little did they know my first passion was ballet! [Laughs.]
We came back to the Northwest and I signed up for the correspondence Labanotation course with the Dance Notation Bureau in New York. I completed the intermediate course then went there to take the teacher’s certification course – six weeks with Muriel Topaz. This was in January, and it was freezing in New York – it was the coldest I’ve been in my life! Stuff that was in the window display case of the local deli was even frozen!!
I was hired to teach at Cornish College and asked by the chair, Karen Irvin, to help set up the college curriculum. This was when they were preparing for accreditation. I felt Labanotation should be a part of this. It’s no longer being taught there, as the current chair felt she had to re-allocate their limited resources. It’s too bad.
Let’s talk about the reconstruction and staging process. Why don’t you walk us through the steps?
At the UW’s Chamber Dance Company, Hannah Wiley, who’s the Artistic Director, puts together their annual program of historic modern dance works. If this includes a work that’s been notated, she contacts me to stage it. I like working with the CDC dancers as they are mature and have considerable dance experience. A good example of what I do are the Humphrey works, most of which have been preserved through notation and published.
Hannah contacts the Bureau for the notation score and also obtains the musical score. Hannah typically does the casting in consultation with me. We often find ourselves making the same choices!
I then meet with the dancers and go over the historical background of the dance and ask if anyone else has experience reading a notation score. We listen to the music and then go to work!
I demonstrate the movement as much as I can, although with Doris Humphrey’s “Water Study” which is all on the floor, I did lots of describing as I don’t go down there much anymore! [Laughs.] The solo for Erikka Turner from this year’s concert was one of the most difficult pieces technically that I’ve staged.
You’ll find it interesting that the Humphrey Foundation wants her works to come across as fresh and new, so we’re giving some latitude for costuming, etc. They also send video references along. These were done by Ernestine Stodelle, who did a series of Humphrey videos – probably before the works were notated – and she talks about Humphrey’s philosophy.
What have been some of your most enjoyable dances to stage?
Hanya Holm’s “Ratatat” comes to mind. “L’après-midi d’un faune” was a good challenge – and one of the most difficult reconstructions ever. The two-dimensional arms and unusual positions make for a dance that’s not easy to learn. I’ve done enough stagings now that the Bureau trusts me to do accurate work, but for this one the Bureau sent out a “checker” – Ann Hutchinson herself! I’ve also enjoyed working on Ruth St. Denis’ pieces.
One of our concerns is how to make the archive of historical dance pieces that are in the Chamber Dance Company’s repertory more accessible. Dancers who have the opportunity to learn an historical piece have a total understanding of the choreographer’s work, and as a result, make wonderful teachers of these materials.
Which brings up what the future of dance notation might be looking like.
It’s probably bleak. With the demise of the Dance Notation Bureau, and notation not being taught much, people don’t understand the advantages.
What are some of your hobbies and interests? What’s the last book you’ve read?
I like mysteries. I just read a great book – “1421: The Year China Discovered America.” I saw a fascinating exhibit in Singapore that was about this.

I don’t know too many people who would say enjoy the funeral, but that’s as logical as saying Happy Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a day to honor those who died in service of the country; it’s a solemn occasion.
Believe me, I’m as happy as the next person about having the extra day off. Spending a Monday at home or with family or with NPR Wisconsin is a much-needed change of pace, and we have every right to enjoy the extra day without guilt or sadness. It probably wouldn’t be too much of a burden, though, to remember that the day is intended to be one that honors deceased members of the military. At least we can try to remember that when greeting each other rather than mindlessly lumping the day with the likes of Happy Valentine’s Day, Happy Fourth of July, and Happy President’s Day.
There is, as an aside, a significant difference between the statements died serving the country and died fighting for our freedom, but that’s for another day. | <urn:uuid:eb508ce9-289b-4985-8301-1ed14d66d7c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://languageandgrammar.com/2008/05/23/enjoy-the-funeral/ | 2023-03-31T05:39:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296949573.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20230331051439-20230331081439-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.978036 | 225 |

I’ve been a lazy food blogger lately and I blame it in equal measures on the beautiful weather and on Trader’s Joe frozen tamales which are so delicious that I thought I could get away with spending less time in the kitchen and more time in the park. Now that a wave of rainy weather is upon us I’m going back to my food blogger responsibility which is to feed my hungry readers who, I’m afraid, may be already all dead of starvation by now. Let’s hope this green tea tart will help revive them.
This is an improved version of a recipe I posted a little bit over two years ago. I think there’s a great affinity between green tea, lychees, raspberries and mint and I’m having a slice of this tart “as we speak” to further “research” my theory and to try to describe how these ingredients play so well together but I can’t even explain it. Maybe I just need another slice.
It’s rich and exotic with the thin crisp cookie crust and the creamy green tea filling but it’s the garnish of lychees, raspberries and mint that makes it really pop. Refreshing is the word that comes to mind. Yes, refreshing just like the bubbles in a glass of chilled Lambrusco at the end of a hot summer afternoon. That’s what this tart is like.
Green Tea, Lychee & Raspberry Tart
- Serves 8
For the crust:
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
For the green tea filling:
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder (or to taste)
- 1 cup creme fraiche
- 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin
For the topping:
- 8 ounces lychee (canned or fresh)
- 1 pint raspberries
- fresh mint leaves
For the tart crust:
- Sift together the confectioners’ sugar, flour and salt into a bowl.
- Place the butter into a food processor and process until smooth.
- Scatter the flour mixture over the butter, add the egg and process just until the dough forms a mass; do not overmix.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least for an hour.
- When ready, line a greased 9 inch tart ring with half the dough and chill for 30 minutes. It’s important to keep the tart crust very thin. Keep the rest for another use.
- Preheat oven to 375’F. Line the dough with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights, dry rice or beans.
- Bake for 15 minutes then remove the aluminum + weights and return the tart to the oven for 15 minutes more.
- Let the tart shell cool on a rack.
For the green tea filling:
- In a small bowl, place 1/2 cup heavy cream and sprinkle the gelatin over it to soften.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, bring 1/2 cup heavy cream, the cream cheese, sugar and green tea powder to a simmer. Whisk until smooth.
- Combine the warm green tea mixture with the gelatin mixture and whisk until smooth. Let it cool. Blend if the green tea hasn’t totally dissolved into the cream.
- In a medium bowl, whip the creme fraiche and the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream to soft peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream mixture into the cooled green tea cream.
- Pour filling into the tart shell and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
For the lychee, raspberry and mint topping:
- When ready to serve, arrange the lychees, raspberries and mint over the top of the tart. | <urn:uuid:d5fa8e01-54ca-438b-a76d-87954ea129ae> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.zencancook.com/2011/05/green-tea-lychee-raspberry-tart/ | 2017-02-28T09:55:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501174157.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104614-00173-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.859887 | 842 |
At a meeting with hundreds of writers, directors and other literature and art practitioners held last week, Xi Jinping warned that creation of literature and art works should not be enslaved by the market.
Xi’ speech raised great attention of Zhao Benshan, one of the greatest comedy stars in China, called as “King of Short Sketches”, who was, however, not invited to the meeting. Zhao Benshan called his disciples together, to carefully study Xi’s speech, soon enough after Xi’s talk.
Zhao’s action is universally deemed as an expression of loyalty to China’s new administration led by Xi. His motive of doing this is possibly because of his past complicated relationship with Bo Xilai and Wang Lijun, high-ranking officials purged in 2012.
Also, Zhao and his disciples’ performances, especially Couple Dance Opera, a local performance item of Northeast China, are usually deemed as being vulgar and sometimes erotic, Zhao’s statement is some kind of guarantee in this sense.
However, another important species in the so-called “literature and art field” (usually equivalent to entertainment) – online game seems to be totally unconcerned. Not a person in the industry has talked publicly about Xi’s speech, and not a related article has appeared on any mainstream media sites.
But hidden troubles exist though people put their heads in the sand. Compared to other entertainment forms like films, books and TV shows in China, online games are relatively minor in most people’s lives and in public opinions, but it has long been a severely afflicted area of vulgarity, eroticism and venality, much more serious than literature or art.
The Chinese government recognized harms of games long time ago, and thus banned console games, but it has been turning a blind eye to it in the past years.
The mercenary online games in China have addicted millions of teenagers, who often thus neglect studies and some even committed suicide for lack of money or being afraid to face the reality.
Such phenomena are largely due to mean design of the games, which make full use of human weaknesses and take all possible measures to ensure addiction and payment. Zhengtu (征途) is typical of them, condemned by not only parents, but many game designers.
Moreover, another main cause of indulgence in games is spiritual emptiness, which is severe in the Chinese society; reasons for this may include the empty Chinese-style education and moral decline of the society, as well as poor quality of other forms of literature, art and entertainment, which are usually unattractive to young people.
Just take a look at the Chinese book market or the domestic films and you’d know what I mean. This situation is sadly more or less attributable to inflexible governmental regulations. | <urn:uuid:79a927cd-ca7a-48ed-a40a-8f7db9e59658> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://blog.sunyansong.com/ | 2015-04-18T23:29:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246636255.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045716-00055-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964948 | 584 |

Tequila. Talk about a polarizing word. Some people feel a residual hangover just at the mention of it, and while you can find plenty of budget tequilas, you get what you pay for.
You can't get through college without trying tequila in some form, whether it's from a line of shot glasses on a smooth bar or in a delicious cocktail. The blue agave plant is key to tequila's unique flavor. The plant takes around 10 years to fully mature and be ready for harvest. Only the heart of the plant, which can weigh over 100 pounds, is used in production.
By law, tequila must be at least 51 percent agave, but premium varieties contain 100 percent. As you can imagine, the more agave there is, the high quality and better tasting the tequila is. And less likely to give you a hangover. Maybe.
To truly be considered tequila, it must be produced in one of five Mexican states. Once finished, it tends not to get too far from home — almost 85 percent of all tequila is consumed in the United States and Mexico, and 75 percent of all exports make their way to the U.S.
Despite its hard-partying reputation, gold tequila is very refined. Premium tequila brands are just as nuanced and sophisticated in flavor as any scotch. And it has an incredible ability to reflect the fruit, pepper and spice flavor combination of the agave plant. The term "gold" comes from the golden color that the tequila adopts as it ages. Some distilleries also add caramel coloring to increase its hue.
While we don't always advocate messing with a good thing, flavored tequila can add a dose of fun to any event. Common flavors include coconut, lime, strawberry and jalapeño — basically, anything you might associate with a day at the beach.
Anejo must be aged for at least three years to bear the name. When you want to impress your guests with your knowledge of tequila — and the depth of your wallet — Anejo makes a perfect choice.
Think of silver tequila as the liquor's purest form. It's only aged for a few months, so it doesn't have time to develop the golden color that comes from longer aging. Instead, it typically appears perfectly clear.
If you're looking for a smooth-sailing experience that won't leave you with a killer hangover, try reposado. Like anejo, it's less harsh on the tongue as well as on the nervous system, so you can take more shots without the morning-after consequences.
How to Drink It:
Shots — always shots. Just kidding. Though that might be the most efficient method, it's not always a crowd pleaser. Aside from margaritas, you can try plenty of classic cocktails; Palomas, Micheladas and even an Old Fashioned. And, yes, aside from shots, high-quality tequila is delicious all on its own.
So what are you waiting for? Buy tequila online through Drizly at a great price and have it delivered directly to your door.

So your kids have come home and begged you to go trick-or-treating on Halloween night (October 31). They can't wait for all of the bubble gum, lollipops and jawbreakers, not to mention dressing up in a Pokemon or witch costume like the rest of their friends.
You watch all of this in dismay. Knowing that Halloween is about Shirk you want to put your foot down once and for all and not let the kids go out that evening.
Ekram Beshir is a mother of four and co-author of the book Meeting the Challenge of Parenting in the West: An Islamic Perspective.
Munir El-Kassem has served as Imam in London, Ontario in Canada and is a father of five.
Shaema Imam is a graduate of McGill University and Muslim youth activist who grew up in a suburb of Montreal, Canada.
These are their tips about how you can deal with the Halloween hoopla:
1. Find out exactly what Halloween is
Too often, parents themselves are in the dark about the background of occasions and holidays like Halloween. Don't think this is a trivial matter.
Once you find out why Halloween is celebrated, you will think twice about getting your kids involved.
In fact, any parent who is trying to raise his or her child as a God-conscious individual will object to the celebration of the occasion. Just spend an hour at the library looking it up in the encyclopedia. To get an Islamic perspective, check out a review of Holiday Myths.
If you discuss it with your kids using correct information, and they sense that you know what you are talking about, they may even agree with you about not participating in the ritual.
2. Talk to them at least a few weeks in advance
This is made easier by the fact that Halloween sales of candy and costumes are already underway and the yearly ritual of horror movies being released or shown on television (see our unTV guide) will soon begin.
So the atmosphere is right to sit Aisha or Ali down to have a talk about Halloween. Talking to them now as opposed to on the morning of October 31 will give them some time to think about it too, and get used to the concept of not having to go trick-or-treating just because their friends are.
3. Rationally explain that we have our own celebrations
Talking about Halloween in the context of a fiery speech against the holiday will not help Aisha or Ali see why they should not participate.
Your histrionics will only blind them to reality. Instead, explain that every group or culture has its own celebrations, and we, as Muslims have our own. Halloween is a pagan celebration. But when Eid comes, that is our celebration.
Do not condemn those who celebrate Halloween. Rather, explain what it is calmly, point out its dangers, and let your kids think about it.
4. Mention the other dangers of Halloween
Horror stories about razor blades in apples, Ex-Lax laxative given instead of chocolate to trick-or-treaters, or the dangers on the street should also be mentioned, but not made the focus of the reasons why you object to Halloween.
5. Explain that every one of our occasions has a meaning
Remind your kids that for Muslims, our holidays always have a good, positive meaning.
For example, at Eid-ul-Fitr, we celebrate our joy of fasting during the blessed month of Ramadan, which is a time we strive to get closer to God and be better Muslims.
Halloween, on the other hand, is celebrated partly as a reminder of satan, who is evil, and from whom everyone should avoid and seek refuge in God from.
6. Emphasize that there is nothing wrong with being different
This is crucial because there will be other occasions later on in their lives when Muslim children must not participate in school activities (for example, the Prom.
This does not mean permanent exclusion from all school and/or peer activities, but it means that as Muslims, they can take what is good, but they also have to learn to reject what is bad in a wise manner.
7. Meet your child's teacher to discuss it
Arrange a meeting to discuss Halloween and celebrations or activities you, as a Muslim would not want your child to be involved in. But also talk about what kinds of activities you would recommend or approve of, and discuss Muslim celebrations.
Volunteer to come in during Ramadan, for example, to present and bring food for the kids during a talk about what is the month's significance for Muslims. For more tips see 17 Tips for Parents to Present Ramadan in your Child's Class
8. Don't send them to school the day of Halloween if there's a party
If the teacher has scheduled a class Halloween party, simply don't send Ali or Aisha to school that day.
However, before you do this, you should write a short letter or note to the teacher and/or principal explaining why your son or daughter will not be attending school that day.
9. Take them to a Muslim friend's house on Halloween
Don't make this a special occasion. If you regularly meet with other Muslim families and your children are friends with their children, visit them or invite them over just to play or hang out. This can take their minds off the Halloween hysteria happening outside.
10. Take them out for a doughnut
Or anything else Halal, just so you are not home when trick-or-treaters come knocking, which will reinforce the Halloween hysteria.
11. Turn off the lights, close the windows and educate your neighbors
Turning off the lights will give the message this home isn't really interested in Halloween. Closing the windows may be necessary, since throwing eggs at someone's home who hasn't given candy is not uncommon on Halloween.
Educate your neighbors about Halloween by posting a brief polite note about why you are not celebrating the occasion. Shaema Imam for example, on one Halloween, posted a decorative note on her door telling neighbors she does not support the pseudo-satanic glorification of evil as represented by Halloween. However, she said it is excellent that there is neighborhood cooperation to promote children's safety on Halloween (there were efforts in her area to ensure kids could trick-or-treat in safety).
She also expressed her support for the collection of money for Unicef, which children sometimes do when they go trick-or-treating. Imam didn't get any comments, but no one egged her house either, she says.
12. Spread the word: two to three weeks in advance, organize a seminar
This would be for Muslim moms, dads and their young kids. There should be a presentation on what exactly Halloween is and what Muslim parents can do about it. There are Christians who also feel similar way about Halloween, you can organize this event together.
While this is being discussed, kids should be allowed to play together under the supervision of a couple of baby-sitters. This will serve to inform moms and dads, while giving kids a chance to have fun (and perhaps set up an invitation so they can avoid Halloween night craziness-see Tip #9).
13. Keep your promise about Eid
For a number of Muslim youth who have grown up in North America, Eid is sometimes just another day, with parents not even taking a day off work.
In other cases, while parents may take the day off, the ritual is the same: get up, put on new clothes, drive to fancy hall, pray, not understand what's really going on, hug Eid Mubarak, go back home, eat "ethnic" food, get money (as Eid gift). Period. It's no wonder our kids' eyes light up when they see Christmas lights, brightly wrapped gifts and hear of Halloween fun and treats.
Make Eid special. Don't just hype it up during Halloween to convince the kids not to participate and then break your promise.
On Eid, give the kids candy, take them out to dinner or an amusement park. Organize a party and invite their friends over. Arrange for them to have a gift exchange. The possibilities for Halal fun are there. We owe it to our kids, if we want them to stay Muslim and to be proud of it, to celebrate the occasions in life that really matter to us, like the two Eids. | <urn:uuid:302c82ab-fe79-4793-8c5f-33e52d35c67a> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.soundvision.com/article/13-tips-for-dealing-with-halloween | 2015-08-05T13:46:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438044271733.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728004431-00168-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961314 | 1,734 |
Klapki/Bambosze/Pantofle/Slippers- whatever you like to call them they are the new cool.
I am a huge fan of anything Danish; high quality and stylish. The third happiest country in the world they embrace ‘hygge’ (hue-guh), recognising moments of charm and comfort and the Poles aren’t far behind. The clothes are handmade, the toys are made of wood, the rugs and throws are made of sheepskin, the vegetables are home grown and the vodka keeps you warm.
I don’t know about you but give me a pair of slippers, trackies and a cheese board in front of a log fire over a night out in a bar which is really LOUD any day of the week. Ha, maybe that is just me. | <urn:uuid:ff49a148-a7bc-4ed7-97f3-2c6ea9d5e215> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.afolktale.co.uk/our-story/ | 2022-07-01T10:57:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103940327.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220701095156-20220701125156-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.953674 | 176 |
Adults with Conditions Causing Chronic Pain
Approximately 50%-70% of the 119 million emergency department (ED) visits in the United States have pain as one of the chief complaints. The majority of these visits requiring analgesia are due to medical events rather than injury. Unfortunately, training of emergency physicians in the essentials of pain management has been lacking. The assessment of patients with chronic pain is even more difficult given the confusion around concepts of dependence, tolerance, addiction, pseudoaddiction, and the fear emergency physicians feel when they suspect that their expertise is being abused by patients seeking prescription analgesics for unintended purposes. This chapter discusses the principles of managing patients with chronic pain in the ED setting, with a particular emphasis on patients with low back pain, migraine and headache syndromes, and abdominal pain of various etiologies, as well as the unique issues of pain management in the elderly. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Procter & Gamble, a Worldwide Olympic Partner, kicked off the company’s Thank You Mom campaign with its Raising an Olympian series featuring Olay athlete Lindsey Vonn (United States), Gillette athletes Felix Neureuther (Germany) and Sven Kramer (Netherlands) and Pantene athlete Elena Ilinykh (Russia).
The launch of the Thank You Mom campaign marks 100 days to go until the start of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and is supported by more than 15 P&G brands around the globe such as Pampers, Head & Shoulders and Covergirl.
“P&G brands look at Olympic sponsorship through a special lens,” said Marc Pritchard P&G global brand building officer. “Our brands don’t just live at the finish line; they’re about the everyday journey athletes take to get to the Games, a journey they started in childhood with their moms. That’s why if a P&G brand sponsors an athlete, we also celebrate the mom who helped get them there.”
“I would never be the athlete I am today without my mom,” said Dutch speed skating Gold Medalist Sven Kramer. “So I’m proud to be a Gillette athlete not just because Gillette stands for the highest standard of performance, but because of the way they’ve treated my mom.”
“I am so excited to be part of P&G’s Thank You Mom program and be in the company of some of the greatest athletes in the world, sponsored by P&G and some of the greatest brands in the world,” added U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Lindsey Vonn. “In our training and competitions, we combat all the elements. As a skier, my skin undergoes the most extreme winter conditions. That’s why I trust Olay to keep my skin as healthy as possible.”
Through the Raising an Olympian series P&G is paying homage to moms of athletes from across the globe. From their kid’s first steps to their first failures, the series highlights the unconditional love moms give their kids no matter what. Additional athletes featured in the Raising an Olympian series include Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir (Canadian Olympic Gold Medalists, Figure Skating) sponsored by P&G Beauty products like Pantene and Olay, USA’s Julie Chu who is sponsored by Bounty and Ekaterina Bobrova (Russian Ice Dancer) sponsored by Venus.
The first half of the Raising an Olympian films can be viewed at P&G Raising an Olympian.
Helping to bring the campaign to life are 2 million retailers throughout the world, which will feature P&G Olympic Games-themed athlete packaging, end caps and displays. | <urn:uuid:f225bd31-0f08-414e-a3d0-79764614a699> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.retailingtoday.com/print/345731?ad=news | 2016-07-30T16:16:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469258918071.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723072838-00177-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934995 | 591 |

An armored personnel carrier was brought to the scene but wasn’t used Monday, according to Grant Koba-Nelson, a civilian who operates the vehicle. Chief Deputy Dennis Cavanaugh said around 12:30 a.m. that negotiations with the man, who he didn’t identify, were continuing.
Some residents were kept out of their homes, including Susan Rowe who lives next to 11851 Robson Road.
Rowe said police told her it was too dangerous for her to go to her house because the man might have a gun. Other neighbors said police told them the man had a shotgun.
Rowe and other neighbors said the man in the standoff lives in the shed after being kicked out of the house by his father.
“He’s just a pain,” Rowe said of the man. “(His) dad lets him stay there and everybody else wishes he didn’t.”
Resident Andy Carlson said he saw the man walking to and from a nearby deli around 4 p.m. Monday and didn’t notice anything unusual. However, neighbors said police occasionally had been called to the home since 2010, and the house has an unusually high number of cars that visit it.
Next-door neighbor Theresa Buyer said she has known the man all her life and he has been troubled since he was a child. Buyer said the man “went downhill” after his mother died of cancer around 2006.
Buyer, who sat in a neighbor’s garage after being kept from her home by police, said she hoped the standoff would end peacefully and wished the man the best.
“He desperately needs help,” she said. “I don’t know why he isn’t getting it.” | <urn:uuid:745c067c-20ff-4f83-8129-2aa15fa7ad75> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2013/08/13/standoff-on-robson-road/ | 2014-10-02T17:00:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1412037663762.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20140930004103-00070-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990692 | 425 |

- 0.4–0.5 oz
- Paruline vermivore (French)
- Chipe gusanero (Spanish)
- Late in incubation the female Worm-eating Warbler sits so tight on her nest that only touching her will flush her. Her cryptic coloring makes immobility a safe strategy. If she is flushed, she will flutter across the ground with her wings and tail spread, acting helpless to lure predators away from the nest.
- Young Worm-eating Warblers typically leave their nest 8-10 days after hatching. Chicks as young as five days old have been observed leaving the nest and surviving, although they cannot fly at that age.
- Although the Worm-eating Warbler forages in the understory near the ground and nests on the ground, it does not spend much time on the forest floor. It does not forage there, and when on the ground it hops instead of walking.

A 15-year-old boy is the second person to be arrested in connection with a spate of “hideous” acid attacks last night.
Two males on a moped doused people with a corrosive substance in five “linked” attacks in the space of 90 minutes across Hackney and Islington. They stole a moped in two of the incidents.
Police, who are appealing for any witnesses to come forward, said one victim has been left with “life-changing” injuries.
Officers made the second arrest this morning at an address in Stoke Newington, having taken a 16-year-old male into custody last night. Both have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and robbery.
Chief Inspector Ben Clark, from Hackney police, said: “This is a fast moving investigation and we have made two arrests today. However, I would like to ask the public for their help. Each of these offences took place in busy locations and we know there may be witnesses who have not yet contacted us. If you saw something or managed to film or photograph anything that might help us please get in touch.
“These are hideous offences and must have been very frightening for all of the victims. I’m aware of rumours circulating that the victims were all food delivery riders set up in advance of the attacks. This is not the case. All victims were riding mopeds at the time of the attacks, but were from a variety of backgrounds.
“Of late we have seen more attacks using corrosive substances in London. I would urge businesses and parents to challenge those who they think may be trying to obtain or carry these substances as this could help prevent serious offences and life changing injuries being caused.”
Speaking to LBC Radio earlier today, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick described the attacks as “completely barbaric”.
Any witnesses, anyone with information or in possession of footage of these incidents should contact police via 101 or via Twitter @MetCC.

Here you can find setup information for your chosen VPN and also how to fix any problems you might encounter.
You can use the Table of Contents on the right hand side of this window to navigate between the different sections.
THIS IS AN ADVANCED GUIDE, EXPERIENCE WITH SIDELOADING ANDROID APPS IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
IF YOU JUST WANT TO UNBLOCK VARIOUS APPS, WE RECOMMEND YOU USE SMARTSTREAM INSTEAD AS THE PROCESS IS MUCH EASIER
Install the Fire TV App on your phone, as it allows you to use the keyboard there rather than via the remote/screen and is needed for one step in particular.
To use OpenVPN on the FireTV you also need to install ‘Mouse Toggle’, as the OpenVPN App does not work with remote buttons. Mouse Toggle fakes a mouse pointer. Mouse toggle, when installed and used on an App that allows mouse pointers such as OpenVPN, is used as follows:
- Double tap the play/pause button on the remote, mouse pointer appears
- Single tap the play/pause button on the remote, then press an direction (up/down/left or right) and it disappears, to cancel it
Settings → My FireTV → Developer → Enable ‘Apps from Unknown Sources’ as we need to ‘side load’ the Android app.
Also Enable 'ADB Debugging' from the same screen
Install the Downloader app on your Fire TV, from the regular Amazon App store
Start the Downloader app, after install
In the URL box, enter the below, then click ‘Go’
If you have a:
Fire TV 1, Fire TV 2, Fire TV Stick 1, Fire TV Stick 2, Fire TV Cube: install 'mousetoggle.apk'
Fire TV 3, Fire TV Edition, Fire TV/Stick 4K: install ‘mousetoggle-106.apk’
Tap the correct option from the list to install.
Important Note: The Fire TV 3rd Generation and the Fire TV Cube has a bug that affects the mouse position unless the display settings are set to 1080p 50Hz. This issue also occurs with a real hardware mouse. So a temporary workaround until this is resolved is to adjust the display settings via the Fire TV settings (Settings – Display & Sounds – Display – Resolution – 1080p 50Hz).
Mouse Toggle for Fire TV will start to install, press ‘Install’ bottom right
When it says ‘App Installed’ press ‘Open’ bottom right
If prompted with, ‘Allow USB Debugging?’ Select ‘Always allows from this computer’ then press ‘OK’
Make sure ‘Enable’ and ‘Auto Start’ are both selected
Press the home button to go back to the main Fire TV screen
Select the Downloader App again, from the Fire TV main screen
It will likely show you the ‘Download’ window for mouse toggle, you can select ‘Delete’ here as we’re finished with that, confirm you want to ‘Delete’
From the same URL as before, now install the ‘openvpn-latest.apk’ by selecting it
Install, bottom right
Open, after it has installed
OpenVPN will start, with 3 options (Private Tunnel, Access and OVPN Profile). It is the OVPN Profile option that we will use.
However, you will notice you cannot select any options, this is where Mouse Toggle comes in. Double-tap the ‘play/pause/ button on the remote, and you will see a mouse pointer, move it to ‘OVPN Profile’ and select this
Go back to the main Fire TV screen, by pressing the home button
Select Downloader again
It will likely show you the ‘Download’ window for OpenVPN, you can select ‘Delete’ here as we’re finished with that, confirm you want to ‘Delete’
In the URL bar at the top of the Downloader window, change this to the below and press ‘Go’
Select the VPN option you want to install, i.e where you want to appear to be
The screen will say ‘File downloaded successfully to:’ I recommend you take a photo of this screen, then press ‘Done’ (NOT Open)
Press the home button on the remote to go back to the Fire TV main screen
Start the OpenVPN App again, it should say ‘Import Profile’.
N.B. If you’re at the main screen with the Private Tunnel, Access and OVPN Profile options, use Mouse Toggle (double tap the play/pause button) to select OVPN Profile
Enable mouse toggle, double tap play/pause button, navigate to the ‘Downloader’ (not Downloads) folder
Select the VPN option that you downloaded, so it has a tick by it
Then, import top right (using mouse toggle still)
Select the Username box (using mouse toggle still)
When the keyboard pops up, either disable mouse toggle to use the remote, or use the Fire TV app on your phone (recommended) to enter your VPN username. If using the App on your phone press ‘return’ to confirm the entry.
Enable ‘Save password’ (using mouse toggle)
Select the Username box (using mouse toggle still)
When the keyboard pops up, either disable mouse toggle to use the remote, or use the Fire TV app on your phone (recommended) to enter your VPN password.
If using the App on your phone press ‘return’ to confirm the entry.
Select ‘Add’ top right
Move the VPN slider to ‘On’ to connect the VPN
It will likely pop up a ‘Connection Request’ window that requires authorisation by selecting ‘OK’.
However, you cannot see the mouse pointer to select 'OK'. The easiest way we have found, is to use the Fire TV App on your phone, and use the ’touch pad’ to select 'OK’.
In the OpenVPN App, with OVPN Profiles selected
Tap the burger icon, 3 horizontal lines, top left
Go to Settings
Enable Reconnect on reboot

Yesterday we highlighted a story about attacks on pro-government Islamic clerics in Russia’s Tatar region. Today comes word in the Moscow Times that arrests have been made in the case, and the news is not good. From the Moscow Times report on the arrest of alleged mastermind Rustem Gataullin and accomplices in the murder of a prominent Muslim cleric Valiulla Yakupov and the attempted assassination of the Chief Mufti of Tatarstan, Ildus Faizov:
After Faizov was elected chief mufti of Tatarstan in 2011, he took over management of the financial operations of Idel-Hajj, which assists Muslims on pilgrimages to Mecca, the statement said.Faizov and Gataullin came into conflict over Faizov’s role in the firm, and Gataullin threatened Faizov, the statement said.Gataullin also has links to radical Wahhabis, Kommersant reported.Faizov and Yakupov were seen as anti-Wahhabi, and Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov on Thursday indirectly blamed Islamic militants for the attacks.Investigators did not comment on how Faizov’s business dealings might relate to the attack on Yakupov, whose funeral was held in Kazan on Friday.Thursday’s attacks represented the first major assault on Muslim leaders in Russia outside the North Caucasus, where a string of moderate religious clerics have been killed over the past two years.
(“Wahhabi” is often used in Russia where “Salafi” would be used in US press reports, meaning radical and possibly violence prone Islam.)The Moscow Times report supports the worst-case interpretation of this incident we worried about yesterday. Leading “moderate” and pro-Russian government clerics inside the country are profiting from their privileged status, in this case perhaps by either selling hajj permits or otherwise extracting money from their position of controlling the pilgrimage business. The perception of systemic corruption by moderate forces discredits non-violent and tolerant Islam and promotes radicalism inside Russia.Targeting pro-government Islamic clerics for murder has been an effective tactic for the radicals in the Caucasus, where the Russian government is fighting a growing threat and has been losing the ideological battle. With this attack, the tactic has spread for the first time outside the historically unstable Caucasus region into what most Russians consider Russia proper.The news that arrests have been made so quickly in the case will reassure many Russians that the government is still in charge in Tatarstan, but the story strengthens the perception that Russia is vulnerable to terrorism and is engaged in a life and death struggle with radical Sunni Islam.This perception helps explain Russia’s stand in Syria and its support of Iran: they are part of its struggle with Saudi-backed Sunni extremism. Western support for Syria’s Saudi-backed rebels and western support for the Saudi struggle against Iran can, from this perspective, be seen either an example of western geopolitical naivete or as an example of an implacable hatred of Russia.In any case, this developing story points to a worsening situation inside Russia and highlights the fragility of Russia’s ideological defenses against violent religious extremism. There are no easy answers and there is no quick fix. | <urn:uuid:e8810534-013d-45ca-a2fa-5c110c9f63fb> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/2012/07/22/update-russias-wahhabi-problem-grows/ | 2016-09-30T03:11:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738662018.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173742-00065-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944095 | 676 |

Nobel laureate James M. Buchanan has died at the age of 93.
Buchanan thought of himself as a classical liberal and an Austrian economist — but neither a leftist nor an anarchist. But that doesn’t mean left-wing market anarchists don’t have important lessons to learn from him, particularly with regard to two of his most important contributions to social theory.
First, Buchanan pioneered public choice analysis — looking at the behavior of institutional actors, and especially state actors, as ordinary people with ordinary motivations who don’t acquire new fundamental values and attitudes and goals simply because they occupy particular positions. Public choice analysis emphasizes the fact that there’s no reason to expect politicians and other state functionaries to be more “public-spirited” than their counterparts in the corporate sector (and perhaps even less so, given the difficulty of measuring their performance and holding them accountable).
Embracing public choice analysis is, in particular, quite compatible with seeing politicians and bureaucrats as acting in light of motives as shaped by their cronyish relationships with business elites or, indeed, their ability to maximize their own wealth using political power. Public choice analysis isn’t identical with class analysis, not least because the latter assumes not merely that politicians’ motives aren’t any better than ordinary people’s, but, in fact, that they’re worse, for predictable reasons. But the two are naturally complementary. Public choice analysis points to one way in which the state functions as a tool of economic redistribution — not from the rich to the poor, but from everyone, including the poor, to the privileged. Buchanan’s notion that politics should be viewed “without romance” helps to make clear why the hope that the state will save ordinary people from the predatory corporate elite is naïve at best. A one-time self-described socialist, who remembered the arbitrary preference given to people with wealth during his time in the military during World War II, Buchanan could hardly be displeased by this result.
Second, Buchanan called attention to the importance of constitutional constraints on the exercise of state power. His work in constitutional economics focused on, among other things, the logic of institutional design—on the formulation of rules for political decision-making that could be expected to yield desirable economic outcomes. His own work employed a broadly contractarian approach to the justification of a state with limited powers. But it could certainly be taken in a more radical direction. When he rehearsed his Nobel acceptance speech at George Mason University, he observed, in the course of responding to criticism from his audience, “If this argument fails, I’m an anarchist.” And, precisely in light of his own concerns about the potential abuse of state power, there’s a plausible case to be made for the view that the right sort of constitutional order, the sort capable of fostering prosperity and protecting autonomy, is a polycentric one: market anarchism is the best sort of constitutionalism. It is perfectly possible to argue, building on Buchanan’s own analyses of the behavior of state officials and of the logic of constitutionalism, that the best way to constrain state rapacity is, as a number of Buchanan’s students have argued, by doing without the state altogether.
Buchanan’s elegant and careful analyses were not the last word on public choice or constitutional economics. From a left-wing market anarchist perspective, they were insufficiently critical of the status quo. But they paved the way for more radical analyses of the political and legal order, analyses which will doubtless continue to be enriched by Buchanan’s own. | <urn:uuid:1b159bc7-14d6-4ac1-87f8-67f849eec1ae> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://c4ss.org/content/16177 | 2015-10-10T05:20:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737940794.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221900-00219-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954153 | 742 |
Record numbers waiting more than four hours at A&E
The festive period saw a record high in numbers of people experiencing long waits at A&E
A&E - Lydia
The last week of 2017 saw the numbers of people waiting more than four hours at accident and emergency hit a record high, it has emerged.
In the week between Christmas and Hogmanay, 78 per cent of people attending A&E departments were seen and subsequently admitted, transferred or discharged within 4 hours, well short of the target of 95 per cent.
It is the lowest figure since the start of the publication of weekly stats in 2015.
NHS Forth Valley was the worst performing health board, where only 57.3 per cent of patients were seen in four hours during the week.
And NHS Lothian’s stats were excluded from national figures while an inquiry is underway into whether figures had been under-reported at the health board last year.
The Scottish Government said a rise in flu and complex cases is partly to blame, with double the number of flu cases presenting with the virus.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: “I’ve heard an overwhelming number of reports from clinicians about how flu and respiratory illness, combined with other winter pressures and exceptional and sustained levels of demand, is changing the way they are treating patients arriving at A&E.
“It is crucial that patients with complex care needs and flu receive the right care, not simply the fastest.
“It will take some time for services to recover from the pressures being felt this winter and for the spikes in flu levels to subside - however we are working to provide support to Boards wherever they might need it, alongside the £22.4 million investment the Scottish Government has already made available for winter contingencies to ensure demand is appropriately managed.”
Scottish Conservative shadow health secretary Miles Briggs described the figures as “nothing short of a disgrace” while his Labour counterpart Anas Sarwar said they were “the worst in memory”.

Discover how a cochlear implant can assist patients with hearing loss.
Close to 48 million people in the U.S. suffer from some type of hearing loss. This sensory loss can have varying degrees, all of which make it a challenge to engage others in public and participate in society in a meaningful way.
Thanks to modern medical technology, hearing loss patients now have new opportunities to enjoy better sensory perception
Candidacy depends on the severity and underlying cause of hearing loss
The cochlear implant is a device for restoration of hearing when a hearing aid is not enough or no hearing exists. Cochlear implants are medical devices that are implanted into your cochlea and inner ear. The entire system comprises of the implanted portion which includes the electrodes and an external sound processor. Together, these components work to detect, transmit, and stimulate the hearing nerve so the brain can interpret sounds.
The implants must be put in through a surgery that typically takes place in an outpatient setting (patients go home the same day).
A visit one week after the surgery is done to check the wound. Then, 3-4 weeks after the implantation, the implant is activated by the audiologist.
Who is a Candidate for a Cochlear Implant?
Young children: 12 months to 17 years
Profound sensorineural hearing loss (nerve deafness) in both ears
Lack of progress in development of hearing skills and language development with hearing aid
High motivation and realistic expectations from family
No other medical conditions that will interfere with the placement of the implant
Adults: 18 years and over
Severe-to-profound sensorineural (nerve deafness) hearing loss in both ears
Receive little or no useful benefit from hearing aids
Score 50 percent or less on sentence recognition tests in the ear to be implanted and 60 percent or less in the non-implanted ear or bilaterally.
Hybrid Cochlear Implant
Typical preoperative hearing of candidates ranges from normal to moderate hearing loss in the low frequencies (thresholds better than 60 dB HL up to and including 500 Hz) and
Severe to profound mid to high-frequency hearing loss (threshold average of 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz ≥75 dB HL) in the ear to be implanted.
For individuals with post-surgical low frequency hearing, the sound processor combines acoustic amplification for the low frequencies with electric stimulation for the high frequencies.
The CNC word recognition score criteria are between 10% and 60%, inclusively, in the ear to be implanted in the preoperative aided condition.
The contralateral ear’s CNC score criteria are equal to or better than that of the ear to be implanted, but not better than 80% correct.
Moderately severe to profound mid- to high frequency hearing loss (threshold average of 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz ≥ 60 dB HL) in the contralateral ear.
What Does the Evaluation Process Involve?
Specialized testing of the hearing is performed to evaluate the degree of hearing loss and your ability to understand speech.
If you have hearing aids, your hearing aids are evaluated to assure they are the best fit for your hearing loss. The testing is done with your hearing aids on. If you don’t have hearing aids, you are given hearing aids for the testing.
Further testing with your hearing aids are performed to see how the hearing aid(s) compare to the anticipated results from an implant,
If it is determined that the cochlear implant can provide better hearing for you than your hearing aids, you are deemed a candidate.
Cochlear Implant Consultation
Your medical evaluation starts with a consultation.
A careful history will be obtained looking into the cause and duration of the hearing loss, ability and mode of communication.
Complete examination of the head and neck.
If the medical evaluation reveals that you are a candidate, imaging is performed.
Information on vaccines necessary to be done prior to surgery are provided to you.
A CT scan (3-dimensional x-ray) of your ear (temporal) bone is obtained).
An MRI (special imaging) of the hearing nerves is needed.
Why come to Dr. Djalilian?
Dr. Djalilian has been an innovator in the surgical placement of the cochlear implant. He has published several articles on the various aspects of improving outcomes in cochlear implant surgery. In over 500 cochlear implant surgeries, he has one of the highest hearing preservation rates for full length (regular) and hybrid cochlear implants nationally. In addition, he takes exquisite care to preserve the taste nerve (chorda tympani) nerve in surgery, which is not often performed by others. Our team works with multiple audiology groups in the area so you can have your surgery with Dr. Djalilian and return to your audiologist for programming. | <urn:uuid:fadfefaf-9491-47f8-8d68-8d5a2af045f9> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://hamiddjalilianmd.com/specialized-services/cochlear-implant/ | 2020-12-01T04:52:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141652107.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20201201043603-20201201073603-00303.warc.gz | en | 0.927642 | 1,010 |

The Discovery Channel airs “Shark Week” every year for two reasons. One, to help you gain a greater understanding of these magnificent creatures. And two, to scare the living crap out of you so much that you can’t even approach a water fountain without fear of being eaten alive. But to really enjoy the series you need to take these seven steps.
We all remember Grouchy and Greedy and Lazy and Dopey (oh wait, that last one is from a different group of little men). But what about all those other Smurfs no one can recall thanks to their poor behavior or the show’s wise program editing? Here’s a just a few.
Yes, thanks to all your tremendous encouragement, my exceedingly talented and persistent agent Scott Mendel and, of course, the constant morale-boosting from my ever-lovely girlfriend Kim, Chronicle Books will be publishing my book I Could Pee on This and Other Poems by Cats.
The hardcover collection will hit the shelves in Fall 2012, just in time for both frenzied, blind holiday shopping and the last brick and mortar bookstore in America to close. But you can go to your local Barnes & Noble or Urban Outfitters today and demand, “I want my I Could Pee on This and Other Poems by Cats now!” And the store clerk will say, “Please stop screaming at us. You’re scaring everybody.” Then you could retort with “NOWNOWNOWNOWNOW!!!” To which they might add, “At least put on some pants.” Then this conversation could go on for several months until it’s next Fall and you can buy the book. And pants.
But all of this would not have been possible without your kind feedback to the original cat poem posts. Hell, all this is possible because you took time from your busy days to read this site in the first place! I just want you to know how much that means to me and though I can be sporadic in my comic strip updates I never take for granted your readership and your exceedingly thoughtful support. Thank you very much!!!

Is It Possible to Improve Your Health by Simply Drinking More Water?
To many people, this may seem a simplistic answer to a complex question: How can doing something so simple produce such noticable & quick results? Surely there must be some deep scientific & comlex way to improving health. The body, after all, is a very complex organism and scientists and health professionals have, over the centuries, espoused numerous ways of improving health, from specially fomulated foods & diets to drugs designed to fight obesity and reduce fat etc. What seems to have been largely ignored, until recent times, is that by merely increasing our water intake, a noticeable improvement can be made to people's mental & physical well-being.
A simple experiment at a school in the north of England has shown improved behaviour of its pupils by encouraging them to drink water instead of carbonated drinks full of sugar. They installed water fountains dispensing free chilled drinking water in the canteens and staffroom of the 700 pupil school. Below is an extract from the findings:
"Remarkable Results from drinking Water Trial"
In less than 2 weeks from installation the atmosphere changed Pupils were calmer in the corridors, and there was less "up the wall behaviour" at the end of the day.
Concentration and the ability to learn improved.
Drinking water regularly keeps the brain active.
Drinking water re-hydrates the brain rather than dehydrating it like carbonated soft drinks & caffeine (tea/coffee)
There was resistance at first, but now they happily drink water everyday and derive huge benefits.
This word often conjours up an image of someone crawling in the desert, hovering vultures, with a shimmering mirage of an oasis on the distant horizon; but in reality, most of us are "dehydrated" to some degree. What are the symptoms of dehydration? You don't have to live in desert conditions to feel the effects of dehydration. Medical opinion differs on what percentage of water loss constitutes dehydration but research has shown that the body loses water from different parts at different rates e.g. the body cells (the basic building block of the body and its powerhouse, the Mytochondrion) lose around 66% water, 26% from extracellular fluid and only 8% from blood tissue (see 1) below). As the internal cell structure loses the most water, this consequently has the most drastic effect on our health, the signs of dehydration can cause reduced imunity to disease, lethargy, constipation, muscle weakness/cramps, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, increased blood pressure as the body's drought management programs try to force more water into the cells. Other symptoms are increased likelyhood of kidney & urinary tract infections. The brain too, being 85% water, cannot tolerate even a 5% level of dehydration without impaired function. It is better to let the body get rid of a slight excess of water than to suffer the effects of a shortfall and have it ration and allocate water to vital organs of the body to the detriment of non-vital functions.
Children are more suceptible to dehydration, having a lower body mass than adults and as they generally tend to exercise more in the school playgrounds etc. than adults, consequently, they lose more water. Enlightened teachers are increasingly concerned about the proliferation of soft drink vending machines in schools and are starting to have them replaced by water dispensers. Dr. Trevor Brocklebank of Leeds University medical school states that children who drank little or no water at school are likely to have kidney or urinary tract infections. He said, "I found that 50% of school children drank no water at school. It's desperately important that they start drinking more water."
Schools that are aware of this problem now tend to encourage pupils to take a bottle of water into classes and to drink as often as they like. The BBC has information concerning the positive effects of encouraging children to drink more water, around 1.75 lt per day for a 10 year old. One study reported by the Mail (May 10th 2005) sites a week-long study involving 45 children, aged 11-14, who were split into two groups. Half drank only filtered water, while the other half drank their usual soft or caffeinated drinks. After a week, the water drinkers reported better than normal concentration levels, from 9% before the experiment to 82% at the end, a ninefold increase. They also reported feeling more energetic, alert and exhibited calmer behaviour.Of the other half, who drank their usual fizzy drinks or nothing, half said they felt less alert than at the start of the study and only 5% said they felt alert at the end of the day. How much teaching time is wasted in our schools due to unresponsive or unattentive pupils?
Not so long ago it was thought, and taught at medical schools, that water was merely a carrier of nutrients, and had no metabolic role in bodily functions. This has now been proved not to be the case. For those interested in further research I can recommend the excellent work done by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj (Batmanghelidj F. M.D. Your Body's Many Cries for Water; Global Health Solutions, Inc) See 1) at the bottom of the page.Bad breath is a classic sign that you need to boost your water intake. Saliva helps cleanse the teeth of bacteria and keeps the tongue hydrated. Lack of water dries the mouth, leads to furry tongue and prevents bacteria from being washed away, all of which can cause halitosis. When you have had a little too much alcohol the night before, you will have noticed a furry tongue the next day - a classic sign of dehydration. Alas, Hair-of-the-Dog will only delay the final reckoning! Alcohol depletes or prevents efficient absorbtion of just about every vitamin & mineral so, if you must drink, it is highly recommended that you take a good quality organic vitamin & mineral supplement afterwards along with plenty of filtered water.
Be a Filter - or Buy a Filter!
Our tap water is safe to drink....well, up to a point. The Daily Telegraph reported in Aug. 2004 that the Environment Agency had found Prozac in drinking water. At least it would have a soothing effect on us while we read our water bills!
Who likes the taste of chlorine with their tea or coffee? Have you also ever noticed a TCP taste with your cup of tea/coffee? This is probably due to the close proximity of a washing machine connected close to the kitchen sink and Chloro-phenols from the rubber hose being "sucked" back while the cold water tap is filling your kettle! In East Anglia, where I live, my cat would not drink tap water until I fitted an activated compressed carbon block filter unit, with UV light, to the cold tap. Animals seem to be more discerning than us humans! Chlorine depletes a very important anti-oxidant vitamin E from the body, increasing the risk of cell damage by free radicals. Chlorine also reacts with organic matter in water to produce Trihalomethanes, such a chloroform, which is a cancer causing chemical (see 5) below). The Environment Agency provide a water quality testing service that can check for organic/non-organic contaminents, minerals & metals and anything else that might find its way into our water; maybe the fact that they have these testing procedures shows just what can be found in our tap water!
The Canadian Government has some interesting findings about the toxic effects of chlorine - see ref 6)
Then there is the long running controversy concerning the benefits, or otherwise, of adding fluoride to our water. Some researchers say it does more harm than good. Further information concerning reports by Bassin, and Cohn and their findings of increased bone cancer in young boys (see references 2 & 3 below) can be found at the link below.
Most of the evidence on the body's requirements for water and how damaging just slight dehydration can be are pretty conclusive. If you are still not convinced that you need to drink about 2 lts of filtered water daily, then please examine all the evidence available on the Web; I have yet to see anyone extoling the virtues of drinking LESS water! You can replace a depleted filter but you can't replace yourself!

Choosing Organic for Health
We come from a society where growing organic and just growing produce and livestock for food Was once one of the same. Small, family farms still grow their own food using traditional methods passed down through the generations.
How My Health Was Restored Through Glyconutrition
My name is Mildred Shears. I'm retired and I live in the Minnesota Northwoods with my husband, George, our German Shorthair, Bodhi, and our senior citizen cat, Cinnamon.
Does your body know its ABCs??
What are Glyconutritionals?The Greek word "Glyco" means "Sugar". Most people think of sugar as being bad for you.
The Omega Zone Diet and Fish Oil
The Omega Zone Diet and specialists' opinion"Omega RX Zone - The Miracle of High-dose Fish Oil" is considered the best contribution that Dr. Barry Sears has yet made to a healthy diet.
Eating Outside Your Box
One way to combat the boredom many people complain accompanies eating healthy is to "eat outside your box," by experimenting with new foods and cuisines and by challenging your long held notions about what to eat and when. Iceberg is not the only kind of lettuce, apples and oranges aren't the only fruits and there is no law that says you can't eat mushroom lasagna for breakfast and a southwestern omelet for dinner.
Many people experience unpleasant reactions to foods they have eaten and suspect they have a "food allergy". However, only 2-5% of adults and 2-8% of children are truly "allergic" to certain foods.
Recently I found the book : "Eating and health according to the teaching work of The Master Peter Deunov" . I've never red something so simple and so senseful about the man's everyday healthy needs.
Eat Right For A Healthy Life
Our diet is an essential factor for the formation of our body. It is clearly mentioned in an Ayurvedic classic 'Charak Samhita' that consuming improper diet in improper way is the main cause of 'Disease'.
Is Organic Really Better for You?
I had finally come to a place in my life where I was concerned about my health and that of my family. After all, it's not the quantity, but the quality of life right? And if you can increase both, all the better! We started exercising, eating healthier and taking vitamins.
Foods to Fight Disease
When it comes to food, we can't ignore the facts - or the science. You need a healthy diet for a healthy life.
Calcium: the Miracle Mineral
We've heard it not only once or twice or even thrice but a lot of times. If you want healthy bones and teeth then pack up on the Calcium intake.
Cranberry Juice To The Rescue
Cranberry juice was first made by American settlers in 1683. It is a love it or hate it beverage.
Alcohol Addiction and Obesity
People who consume too much alcohol have good chance of making it to the Obesity chart. Pure alcohol contains 7 calories per gram.
Is Eating a Raw Food Diet Actually Healthy for You?
Whatever diet you choose to live by, the food you eat has to provide your body with the nourishment to properly balance your body's chemistry. If you have health challenges, are overweight or obese, chances are you are not in balance at all.
Salads Take Center Stage
The reason I remember the first time I was served a main-course salad, easily 15 years ago, is that it was such a revelation.It was served to a group of us, six or more, in a large shallow wooden bowl and it was full of all kinds of good things; greens, chickpeas, nuts, seeds, sliced chicken breast and a dressing fragrant with fresh tarragon and basil.
The Fountain of Youth - Right in Front of Us All This Time!
Can we really stop the aging process, slow it down, or even reverse the effects of aging on our skin and body? It is an enigma for which so many have searched the answers to for years. Now, with advanced modern science making breakthroughs and discoveries every day, the answers have become apparent to the age-old quest for the proverbial fountain of youth.
The Power of Capsulized Foods
For most people, the concept of capsulized food? usually conjures up images of space travelers ingesting meals condensed into a compact pill. However, in modern-day reality, things are quite different.
Do You Eat Breakfast?
It is not a myth. Eating breakfast is an important part of attaining and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Beverages Boost Calorie Intake, But Many View Fluids As Calorie-free!

Cannabolish‘s parent company, OMI Industries, is no stranger to the cannabis industry. In fact, the chemist who developed these products has made other cannabis smell absorbing products for OMI Industries including ECOSORB CNB 100 which is commonly used in grow rooms. Cannabolish candles and sprays aren’t like all of the other aromatic candles found at the store, they use eco-friendly ingredients to destroy odor molecules, not just cover them up.
There are some very positive points to note about Cannabolish, including the fact that these products are safe for the earth. Many smell absorbent products use harsh volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemicals, but Cannabolish doesn’t. These products are completely natural. On top of that, the packaging and design of the sprays and candles fit nicely into a home with a modern design. The candles are green votives with chestnut-colored labels and lids. The sprays match that scheme with green opaque glass bottles and brown paper labels. But the real magic is what happens when Cannabolish meets cannabis odor molecules.
The chemist behind the product, Dr. Laura Haupert, explained how the spray works in a recent Forbes article with Warren Bobrow: the odor molecule is adsorbed first when it meets Cannabolish. Adsorption is the same process as when a dye takes to a piece of cloth. Then, the molecule is absorbed into the Cannabolish droplets in the air and, in this phase, the ambiance odor is considered controlled.
After a month of using the Cannabolish line, we can definitely agree that the product works. The aroma of the candle emanating in the room is fresh and minty with a bit of earthiness, a very pleasant smell even if you’re not trying to cover up the remnants of a good sesh. The candle is a great thing to leave behind for a bit after lighting up a joint.
As for the sprays, the scent of the mist definitely neutralizes the cannabis aroma. The smaller sized bottle is a great option to keep in the car. I pulled over and toked a little bit of a joint an hour or so before picking up a couple of people that I carpool with. After smoking and before picking them up I spritzed the car with Cannabolish. Once I picked them up nobody said anything about the skunk smell, so I asked if they could smell anything. The answer? Not even a little bit. Based on a month of using the Cannabolish suite of products, experience shows that they really do work.
The Cannabolish product line is beautiful to look at and since it actually works, Ganjapreneur would recommend the candle and the spray for any cannabis consumer who is looking to stay aromatically under the radar.

The great racial reckoning of 2020 brought many cultural shifts, including that of language. The term "BIPOC," which stands for Black and Indigenous people, and people of color, proliferated. The BIPOC acronym gained traction — use of the term BIPOC spiked in May 2020 according to Google Trends — largely because it centers Black and Indigenous people.
Since summer 2020, companies have poured significant sums into Black talent, Black initiatives, Black consumers and Black heritage celebrations. But what about the "I" in BIPOC?
In curating the following Indigenous recruiting tips, HR Dive tapped Indigenous Works, a company based out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, serving First Nations talent. Both Canadian and American Indigenous folks have experienced similar disenfranchisement, something Indigenous Works CEO and President Kelly Lendsay emphasized in his interview.
"We had residential schools; you had residential schools — you call them industrial schools. Racism, unemployment, incarceration, suicide rates: take your pick on the deficit side of the agenda. There are so many similarities, even our age characteristics are the same," Lendsay said. (The average age of both Indigenous American and First Nation Canadian populations skew about 10 years below their respective national average, which, Lendsay noted, makes this talent pool a particularly young workforce.)
On top of shared tribal histories along the border, Lendsay also spoke to the "ripple effect" of the Black Lives Matter movement in Canada. Here are four actionable steps HR professionals can take to help Indigenous folks get their foot in the door.
Hit the books
The way companies fund research on fresh geographical markets they’d like to enter is the same approach they should use with diversity recruiting efforts. "You would not go to Australia or Mexico without doing homework on the history and sociopolitical features of those communities. You’ve got to do the same thing at home, but in your backyard in the States or in Canada," Lendsay said.
He also drew historical parallels between pro-Black civil rights leaders and Indigenous leaders in the 60s. "Rosa Parks sat down on a bus so the world could stand up. Martin Luther King got the Nobel Peace Prize in ‘64. And in 1973, there was an incident called Wounded Knee," Lendsay said, nodding to the South Dakota demonstration in favor of Indigenous rights. "That very same year, Marlon Brando won the Oscar for The Godfather." Brando famously refused the Oscar to protest treatment of Indigenous talent in the film industry. Instead, Sacheen Littlefeather, an Indigenous actress, came to the stage.
Reassess your brand with Indigenous folks
Another step that should occur before recruitment, Lendsay said, is assessing a company’s pre-existing or non-existent relationship with local Indigenous communities. The first question he asks clients essentially is, "What do you think your brand is with Native American labor force?"
"Most employers go, ‘I don't think we have a brand.’ ‘I think we have no brand.’ Sometimes resource companies say, ‘We have a brand but it's tarnished. We haven't been very good partners. In fact, we've hurt the land and the water, and we haven't really created jobs or employment opportunities for Indigenous people.’"
Pound the pavement
Once HR teams answer branding questions, they can focus on attraction and positioning. Lendsay recommends answering some more questions in the way of guidance.
"How can you work with Indigenous partners on some jobs that you have? How can you create training programs to get people the skills they need to get those jobs?" he asked. "Many of these American tribes and Aboriginal groups in Canada? We have training funds that could be leveraged with private sector money to prepare our people, educate our people, book those opportunities. It might even lead to strategic alliances around employment strategies."
Remember that D&I goals can include corporate responsibility
A key component of a company’s success, Lendsay said, is investing in Indigenous folks outside of the talent pool. For those committed to diversity, companies should include Native American folks in marketing, branding and giving back initiatives, Lendsay said; "The whole opportunity here should not just be on the shoulders of HR people in a company." | <urn:uuid:e49aecef-aeb9-4136-9d7d-938411452e69> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.hrdive.com/news/recruiting-indigenous-talent/610510/ | 2023-12-07T22:28:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100705.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207221604-20231208011604-00671.warc.gz | en | 0.958477 | 890 |
New South Shore poster honoring Cargill Hammond’s centennial to get gala unveiling Friday
7 February 2007

HAMMOND, Ind. - As part of the Cargill Hammond corn milling plant’s 100th anniversary celebration, a South Shore Poster will be unveiled at a reception and ceremony on Friday, Feb. 9, at historic Phil Smidt Restaurant, 1205 Calumet Ave. in Hammond. The event takes place from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m., with the actual unveiling set for about 5:30 p.m.
Titled “Nourishing People for over 100 years,” this is the latest in a series of posters meant to promote northwest corner of Indiana bordering Lake Michigan. The original South Shore posters were a regular series that ran on the South Shore rail line during the 1920s. Numbering about 50, the posters became collector’s items. The poster series was revived in 1996 as a way to promote tourism and economic development in the region. There are over 60 posters in the current series.
The poster’s creator, Mitch Markovitz, will be guest speaker. Markovitz is a commercial illustrator and artist based in Knox, Ind. In 1996 he named and became the founding artist and art director for “Just Around the Corner,” the renowned series of posters focusing on life in Northwest Indiana.
Cargill’s Hammond corn plant began as the home of Western Glucose in 1906 and was reformed as American Maize Products in 1908. While the steel mills in Gary literally overshadowed “Amaizo,” as it was known, the business has historically been significant for the Hammond area and an important part of community life. In 1995 the business was acquired by Cerestar, an Eridania Béghin-Say Company, which in turn was acquired by Cargill in 2002. Today, Cargill Hammond is a center of foodstarch production for Cargill, employing about 260 people in the production of cornstarches and other corn-based products used to thicken, add texture and coat diverse foods from baked goods to meats to marshmallows.
Cargill is an international provider of food, agricultural and risk management products and services. With 149,000 employees in 63 countries, the company is committed to using its knowledge and experience to collaborate with customers to help them succeed. | <urn:uuid:14e8354c-334b-4187-8ab3-90b0ef8b8e9f> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.cargill.com/news/releases/2007/NA3007772.jsp | 2015-06-30T19:40:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375094491.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031814-00141-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958135 | 526 |

Improving Quality and Efficiency of Care: The Power of Standardized Electronic Health Records
Electronic health records have the potential to improve quality of care and patient safety, but key quality data is often spread over multiple locations in the electronic chart, necessitating extensive, time-consuming reviews in order to obtain a complete and timely picture of a patient. The time required to perform a comprehensive chart review results in less time spent in direct face-to-face patient care, diminished clinical efficiency and increased risk of provider burnout, which in turn can have a detrimental impact on quality of care.

A special venue viewed through special eyes: on 23 September 2018, photographers who are active on the social media channel Instagram met in the Berlin Philharmonie for an Instameet. This event allows participants outside of official opening hours to visit and capture image of spaces and locations that are usually full of people.
The special architecture of Hans Scharoun, the architect of the concert hall, the 125th anniversary of whose birth fell on 20 September, offers the creative photographer’s eye many unusual motifs and perspectives. Whether in the concert hall, in the foyer or outdoors. A nice side benefit of the Instameet, organised by VisitBerlin, was that the photographers, who normally only communicate via Instragram, got to know each other personally. The results of their shoot can now be viewed on Instagram. | <urn:uuid:e489bf35-ffb4-4d7d-b8d3-9f79a4689298> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://www.berliner-philharmoniker.de/en/news/detail/instameet-in-the-berlin-philharmonie/ | 2019-02-23T15:32:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550249504746.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20190223142639-20190223164639-00415.warc.gz | en | 0.944646 | 167 |
The music video of ‘Rigs of the Time’ – as featured in the film SINK (written & directed by Mark Gillis) – has now been released.
Shot entirely on an i-phone and using FiLMiC Pro, the song is performed by Oliver Hoare and the Late Great. Directed by Mark Gillis (who was recently interviewed in Nothing in the Rulebook) alongside Director of Photography, Cassius Rayne (of ‘Go Film It’ fame) – the music video makes full use of the groundbreaking mobile technology that made headlines when Sean Baker’s movie ‘Tangerine’ made waves at the Sundance Film Festival.
The music video has been released just as SINK hits stores and streaming services on DVD and online.
Described by Nothing in the Rulebook‘s own Professor Wu as “genuinely original” and getting “under the skin of the audience in a way precious few films do these days”, SINK has received critical acclaim since being released in cinemas.

Because everybody is into the results of the George Zimmerman trial, just a reminder, some other things are going on. The city of Detroit declared bankruptcy. A big city like that, with GM there declared bankruptcy. I wonder why... Oh, I do know why. Democratic rule for the last 60 years.
With any big situation with the police and detectives, when something massive or something small happens, is it just me or is there always 10 or 20 cops standing around, talking? Do they need cops standing around talking? I’m not trying to be smart, I’m just wondering because I’m sure there are other things for them to do.
Recently it was reported in The Mercury that consultants for an engineering firm were likely to recommend the replacement of the brickwork at Rupert. My concern as a taxpayer is, if the replacement of the brickwork causes a huge overrun in the budget, isn’t it possible that as the renovations move forward, other structural problems could be found that would lead to other huge overruns, especially considering the school opened around 1927?
The Surpreme Court struck down the Voting Rights Act, racial comments being made by contestants on the “Big Brother” show, now Zimmerman gets off with murder. Yes, racism is alive the United States. The only difference between now and 200 hundred years ago is that then, they were wearing hooded sheets and riding horses. Now, they wear robes, suits, drive pick-up trucks and ride in limos.
More government interference is coming out in the Zimmerman case. The prosecution released black-and-white photos to the national news? Since when do cell phones take black-and-white photos? Since the corrupt judicial wanted to not show Zimmerman’s blood wounds. And now CNN televised Zimmerman’s Social Security number, cell phone, and home address. People that threatened to kill him were ecstatic. Zimmerman now has to go into hiding for his life.
SANATOGA PAUL REVERE
When I was growing up, we used to play cops and robbers. The robbers always wore masks. But nowadays, the school board doesn’t need a mask. They just rob you with their face open.
The main intersection of Boyertown is lovely, but what about the rest of the town? Aren’t there any ordinances about neglected properties and especially the weeds in yards, alleys, and sidewalks?
Obamacare is the law of the land, yet the Republican Party has pushed to appeal it 41 times. History will show that this Republican Party has been the least productive in the history of this nation.
Anybody driving by Phoenixville High School will see a beautiful new athletic facility- new football field, million dollar baseball field. Then you’re going to notice the make-do, down and dirty girl’s softball field. What is it about girl’s sports in Phoenixville that they do not get the attention they deserve? Why do they have weeds growing through their field? This is totally unacceptable. Ever since the superintendent got there, the girls have got pushed to the back of the line.
I own two used houses in Phoenixville. I just received my school taxes from the Phoenixville area. They amount to $23,199.79, which I know I have to pay. But they didn’t send a return envelope! How poor are they?
What are the codes in the Pottstown area? I notice there are a lot of swimming pools without fences around them and also people who are burning with no fireplaces and burning with just buckets. What are the fire codes, and what are the codes about these pools?
A special thank you to the Home Depot in Pottstown and the PMRCC Stretch the Ride fund for providing me with an air conditioner. I’m on a limited income and only had access to a fan during the days of high heat and humidity. This was a great help to me and helped to alleviate the fatigue that I was having due to the heat. I am overwhelmed and grateful for being thought of. Many thanks.
Well, what do you think of President Obama now? Personally, I think he should keep his nose out of the Zimmerman trial. He should be speaking for all Americans. This is an American speaking.
The Pennsylvania school tax is true bullying and discrimination against homeowners and seniors. It should be a tax that all should share in. The state should be sued by these homeowners and seniors, and when they win all politicians of past and present should have to pay back taxes to the people from 50 percent of their income for the next 50 years.
A SENIOR JUST ABOUT TO LOSE HIS HOME
As I’m sitting here, looking at my school tax bill, I’m wondering what the temperature is set at all of these school in the Spring-Ford district. I can’t help but wonder if they’re still set at like 72 while no one is there all summer long. They should be set at 80 or 85. Just wondering. | <urn:uuid:a91c6d13-80f4-4935-959c-e3f1674a82ad> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.pottsmerc.com/article/20130725/OPINION04/130729685/thursday-s-sound-off | 2017-02-28T10:20:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501174157.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104614-00286-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968036 | 1,045 |
A 'friendly' white Boxer looked like the saddest dog in the world after being dumped in the street by its callous owner.
Tied to a lamppost and left to fend for itself, the pet looked heartbroken as it hung its head and sat hunched over on a Hull pavement.
The animal was discovered by resident Graham Dobson, 43, on Thursday morning, Hull Live reports.
He gave the dog, which he described as "friendly" and "real nice", water and food before calling the warden.
Other people told him the "sad and scared" creature had been tied up for more than an hour.
"It was heartbreaking to see he had been left and how upset he was, as he was a real nice dog and so friendly, just really scared," he said.
"I fed and watered him as he’d been left with nothing and then called the dog warden to pick him up."
The rescuer snapped the tear-jerking picture of how he found the canine, which has caused outrage among animal lovers.
Commenting on a Facebook post about the dog, Pamela Jones said: "B******* whoever they are!! What a beautiful boy he is, I hope he finds a loving forever home poor little mite didn’t deserve this."
Gladys Shearsmith added: "Why would anyone do this poor little thing?
"I hope someone will give him a good home and love him and find the t**** who dumped him at the side of the road."
And Emma Jane Simpson said: "They should of taken him to a rescue centre. The staff wouldn’t have judged them at all am sure they have heard most reasons why people can’t keep their pets!
"Poor dog, better chance of going to the right home if owners left details i.e. good with cats; not great with kids etc! K*** h****."
Graham has also been praised for potentially saving the dog's life, with Adam Read commenting: "Hats off to Graham Dobson, well done that man. Pets are for life."
The boxer, named Max, has been taken to a special rescue centre where he will be assessed before being transferred to a new family, Hull Live reports.
His owner returned to the scene when he realised the warden was there, and signed papers to transfer the dog to the council.
The rescue team described Max as "nervous" an said he "may just want peace and quiet" before being taken on by a foster family.
Outlining what will happen next, Matthew McDonnell, chair of the charity said: "He will probably be very scared and a bit disorientated perhaps.
"I imagine if he has been tied to a lamppost he could be very nervous and he may just want peace and quiet so we will find him a nice, quiet space and find out what he needs and look to see if we can find any vet records.
"From there, he will be fully assessed and our view is that every dog is different and every dog has different requirements.
"We will have to find the best place for him and that could be short term foster care while he settles and adapts. It is all about getting him the right home moving forward but for the moment he in safe hands." | <urn:uuid:f3dd450e-76af-4a47-b7a5-31807ee9b7de> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/scared-dog-seen-dumped-roadside-14306520 | 2020-06-06T21:50:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590348519531.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20200606190934-20200606220934-00255.warc.gz | en | 0.982666 | 691 |

Clippers center DeAndre Jordan made his first visit to Dallas since spurning the Mavericks and returning to Los Angeles in one of sports’ most bizarre free agency sagas ever.
As Wednesday’s game unfolded, Mavericks fans lustily booed Jordan, which drew the ire of Van Gundy, who called the game for ESPN.
The former Knicks coach expressed his displeasure over the hypocritical nature of Dallas sports fans.
Van Gundy couldn’t understand why Dallas fans hated Jordan but cheered controversial Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy, who is more associated with domestic violence than his football career these days. Meanwhile, Jordan’s greatest crime may be caving to peer pressure like a 16-year-old kid.
It would appear Cowboys fans cheer Hardy in a vacuum rather taking a look at the bigger picture. However, that mindset is a microcosm of sports fandom in a lot of places.
How about Pittsburgh? Fans cheer for Ben Roethlisberger despite his run-ins with the law.
Of course, the classic example of this dynamic is Kobe Bryant. His 2003 sexual assault case stemming from an incident in Eagle, Colorado appears to be largely forgotten by Lakers fans after three Finals appearances, back to back NBA titles, two NBA Finals MVPs, and a league MVP.
Often, fans don’t use common sense and logic when deciding who and what to for. It’s sports and fans view it as a universe and seemingly don’t want to think that hard over who to root for.
Having said that, Van Gundy is right. It seems somewhat ridiculous for Dallas fans to want to nail Jordan to the wall while cheering any positive contributions that Hardy makes to a struggling Cowboys team.

On the eve of a status report requested by Judge William Alsup of the Northern District of California in the Oracle v. Google remand proceedings, Oracle has shown once again that, as I've been saying for a long time and many media reports still misstate, the Android-Java copyright case is about much more than $1 billion. It's about more in strategic terms, but as Oracle's letter shows, without stating a new damages claim yet, it's also about more in mere financial terms.
Almost five years after the original complaint in August 2010 and the first amended complaint in October 2010, and more than three years after the 2012 mistrial, Oracle wants to ensure that what has happened since will play a role in the further proceedings. The alternative would be for Oracle to bring a follow-up complaint later, but that one would not only be less efficient: it would also disadvantage Oracle because it would not be allowed to counter Google's "fair use" claims with new facts that show Android's conceded and unauthorized use of Oracle's valid Java API-related copyrights has massive economic scale and major strategic implications for the entire high-tech sector:
"The Amended Complaint was filed on October 27, 2010. [...] Since then, Google has released six major versions of Android encompassing at least forty total releases. In the last three years, Android has come to permeate the fabric of our society: it is in 80% of smartphones, in tablets, in televisions, on wearables, and even in cars. Google continues to infringe Oracle’s copyrights with these new versions. Android now has a billion users; Google reaps untold profits from these users through a variety of means. At the same time that Android has become truly ubiquitous, the Java platform has suffered more than ever. And, meanwhile, Google itself has adopted an express anti-fragmentation strategy, implicitly conceding what Sun and later Oracle long contended were necessary aspects of maintaining a vibrant development platform.
The record of the first trial does not reflect any of these developments in the market, including Google's dramatically enhanced market position in search engine advertising and the overall financial results from its continuing and expanded infringement."
The last part--financial results--comes a few days after Google's stock experienced a major surge, making it the world's second-most valuable company (only Apple's market capitalization exceeds that of Google.)
But there's something in Oracle's letter--formally it's a request for permission to (then) request permission to (finally) file a supplemental complaint--that may have even more important implications for the adjudication of Google's "fair use" defense than those mind-blowing numbers: Oracle's reference to Google's "express anti-fragmentation strategy." Fragmentation of Java through Android has been a key point of Oracle's case all along.
One question I'm asking myself now is whether this letter is an early sign of Oracle bringing a new motion for judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) on Google's "fair use" defense, in which case the next jury could focus entirely on damages (not liability). The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit declined to resolve this matter based on the record from the 2012 trial, but it provided some guidance that largely favors Oracle, especially (though not only) with a view to Google's claim that Android's use of the copyright Java material is of a "transformative" nature. That guidance, coupled with additional facts relating to the economic scale of the infringement and Google's own concern about fragmentation, could serve as the basis for a stronger JMOL case than last time.
Another observation: this letter to the court was filed by Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe's Annette Hurst, a San Francisco-based IP lawyer whose firm became involved with Oracle v. Google only at the appellate stage. She has received various awards and other forms of recognition over the years. Last year, for example, the International Financial Law Review awarded her the Best in Copyright honor at the America's Women in Business Law Awards, and she has been named as one of the top California litigators on several occasions.
The fact that Mrs. Hurst wrote this letter to the court suggests to me that she is Oracle's lead counsel on remand. New York-based appellate lawyer Joshua Rosenkranz, also an Orrick partner, was Oracle's lead counsel before the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court. Morrison & Foerster, one of the top Silicon Valley firms, does remain involved as far as I can see.
Mrs. Hurst's letter mentions that the parties disagreed on the scope of the supplemental complaint Oracle seeks to bring. It's not clear yet what the disagreement relates to and whether there is anything the parties can agree on, but we will know soon. The parties still have until midnight California time on Thursday to file their status reports.
Finally, here's the letter:

ZIM’S PHONE OPERATORS REQUEST MORE FREQUENCIES TO EASE CONGESTION
Zimbabwe’s mobile and fixed telephone operators have requested the Posts and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) to allow them more frequencies so that they can overcome congestion on their networks, the Financial Gazette learnt this week. The request was raised at a meeting with the regulator last Monday, where the companies also discussed Zimbabwe’s foreign currency crisis which they said was affecting their viability.
Officials who attended the meeting said the phone operators also wanted the government to allow them access to foreign currency remitted to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe by exporters because they were part of a strategic industry. The officials said the allocation of more frequencies would enable them to reduce congestion and expand capacity to meet increasing demand. They said telephone network operators had for several months been lobbying the regulator to allocate them each 15 megahertz (MHz) on the high capacity 1800 MHz band. However, at Monday’s meeting the operators were only allocated six megahertz each on the 1800 MHz band. | <urn:uuid:02928186-ca5e-4bac-9fc2-21dfdf1a599c> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.balancingact-africa.com/news/en/issue-no-141/telecoms/zim-s-phone-operator/en | 2016-02-10T12:48:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701159376.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193919-00187-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960446 | 225 |
Watchmen and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder has admitted his passion for the Star Wars universe and opened up about potentially helming a future movie set in a Galaxy far far away.
"I'm a huge Star Wars fan. The reason why I started making movies when I was 11 years old was because of Star Wars. For sure it has been a huge influence on me and really got me into this mythic path with the Joseph Campbellian take on archetypes and storytelling. Yeah, Star Wars is that to me. I have interest in Star Wars".
Snyder then added:
"I don't think I have a story written now that...I don't know how I'd fit into the Star Wars universe anymore. I don't know what it is. So it's a thing I love, but I don't know if i....maybe it's moved on from me. I still love it and I have lightsabers everywhere around the house".
In 2013, two years before the release of The Force Awakens, there were some rumors that Lucasfilm was eyeing Snyder for a Star Wars movie inspired by Seven Samurai (1954), but the project never became a reality. Could they call him back in the near future?
After the sequel trilogy and the Han Solo movie's mixed response, Lucasfilm and Disney have yet to announce a clear pathway for the cinematic future of the franchise. We do know Taika Waititi will direct a stand-alone movie but how the saga shapes up is still unclear.

“Cannabis has been used as a medicinal plant for thousands of years.
As a result of centuries of breeding and selection, there are now over 700 varieties of cannabis that contain hundreds of compounds, including cannabinoids and terpenes.
Cannabinoids are fatty compounds that are the main biological active constituents of cannabis. Terpenes are volatile compounds that occur in many plants and have distinct odors.
Cannabinoids exert their effect on the body by binding to receptors, specifically cannabinoid receptors types 1 and 2. These receptors, together with endogenous cannabinoids and the systems for synthesis, transport, and degradation, are called the Endocannabinoid System.
The two most prevalent and commonly known cannabinoids in the cannabis plant are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol.
The speed, strength, and type of effects of cannabis vary based on the route of administration. THC is rapidly distributed through the body to fatty tissues like the brain and is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system to 11-hydroxy-THC, which is also psychoactive.
Cannabis and cannabinoids have been indicated for several medical conditions.
There is evidence of efficacy in the symptomatic treatment of nausea and vomiting, pain, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, loss of appetite, Tourette’s syndrome, and epilepsy. Cannabis has also been associated with treatment for glaucoma, Huntington’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and dystonia, but there is not good evidence to support its efficacy. Side effects of cannabis include psychosis and anxiety, which can be severe.
Here, we provided a summary of the history of cannabis, its pharmacology, and its medical uses.” | <urn:uuid:1e70262a-40e6-4d2e-8d43-63b0261a4969> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | http://www.thctotalhealthcare.com/category/dystonia/ | 2021-04-19T22:13:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038917413.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20210419204416-20210419234416-00387.warc.gz | en | 0.954814 | 363 |

A Minnesota high school student who wears rosary beads to school in support of his cancer-stricken grandmother was ordered to pocket them by school district officials, who said the beads could be a symbol of gang membership.
Jake Balthazor, 15, of Coon Rapids, a northern suburb of Minneapolis, was told Wednesday by Coon Rapids High School officials that he could no longer wear the black and silver rosary honoring his grandmother, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, his father told FoxNews.com.
“He was told not to wear it again,” Chad Balthazor said Thursday. “He was upset when he came home from school. A teacher sent him down to the office, but the reason he was wearing it was for his grandmother.”
The school district’s policy forbids any “apparel, jewelry, accessories or matter of grooming which by virtue of its color arrangement, trademark or any other attribute denotes membership in an organized gang,” Mary Olson, director of communication for the Anoka-Hennepin School District, told FoxNews.com.
Olson said Coon Rapids police informed the district in early May that some local gangs, namely the Latin Kings and the Surenos, do use rosary beads as affiliation symbols.
“He was told [Wednesday] by staff not to wear it to school and they were not told he was wearing it because of his grandmother,” Olson said. “He was told not to wear it because it’s a gang symbol. He may not think of it as a gang symbol, but other students at the school may.”
Balthazor was told he could bring the beads to school if kept in his pocket, Olson said.
Sue Thompson, Balthazor’s grandmother, told FoxNews.com she disagreed with the policy as she was traveling to a local hospital for surgery early Thursday.
“I think it’s pretty bad,” Thompson said. “I’m really upset with the district.”
Coon Rapids Police Department Capt. John Hattstrom confirmed to FoxNews.com that a memo was sent to local school officials advising them that some gangs use the beads as a way of identifying members. The memo did not contain a directive to ban the beads, he said.
“They make their own decisions on policy,” Hattstrom said.
Balthazor said his son told him he’d wear the beads around his neck to school Thursday and that he’d put them in his pocket if asked. He also called upon the district to review its policy.
“Jake is just doing it for his grandmother,” he said. “He’s not in a gang.” | <urn:uuid:4def6d9e-a28e-4af5-b3bf-41444a1f52f0> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/06/07/minnesota-student-banned-from-wearing-rosary-beads-to-school.html | 2018-04-23T10:18:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125945940.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20180423085920-20180423105920-00259.warc.gz | en | 0.990109 | 582 |
The lower house of the Czech parliament has opened debate on two agreements permitting deployment of radar for a U.S. missile defense system on Czech soil.
The country's center-right coalition government backs plans for the deployment. But officials say they expect a close vote in the lower house where the coalition has no majority.
The Czech Senate will consider the treaties Thursday.
U.S Defense Secretary Robert Gates and his Czech counterpart, Vlasta Parkanova, signed the two agreements earlier this year.
Under the U.S. plan, the radar in the Czech Republic will provide guidance for 10 interceptor missiles to be deployed in Poland.
U.S. officials say the missile shield is designed to protect against what they call threats from rogue countries, such as Iran. But Russia strongly opposes the system and insists the U.S. deployments in Europe will threaten its security.
The director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, General Henry Obering Wednesday expressed hope Polish lawmakers will quickly approve the agreements.
Obering told reporters the United States would like the anti-missile base in Poland to be active by 2012. He spoke as he visited the site of the planned facility in northern Poland.

You know what keeps Erick Erickson up at night? Fear. Always. But there is another, specific kind of fear that bedevils him when fringe-right corporate mouthpiece/unwanted free publication Human Events asks for some promotional email text to send out on behalf of another Koch Brothers’ front group to rile up scared old people and convince them to actually send money for the purpose of taking away their badly needed Social Security and Medicare. When that happens, Erick Erickson is very scared of Barack Obama’s hold on the evil young people, and by “young” he means “not quite yet in their fifth decade, but getting there.” It seems these young people with their fancy liberal educations and iPhones and ethnic food and bisexuality and 401ks and Dwell subscriptions have got that Barack Obama all up in their grill. There’s a real danger that these people — pretty much the entirety of American voters 18-34 — will not suddenly support some fat white right-wing racist like Haley Barbour or whatever kochsucker ultimately gets the GOP nomination. “You know I don’t scare easily,” Erickson writes. “And that scares me.”
Wait, how would anyone know that RedState fearmonger Erick Erickson “doesn’t scare easily”? Isn’t that the whole point of conservative politics — constant insane fear-mongering about “the other” so that the stressed-out and beaten-down white working class will continue voting in small numbers, and when they do vote they’ll lean just enough on the side of corporate anti-government politics and against their own interests, again?
Here’s the top half of the email:
What follows is a scary chart showing that Obama’s campaign had more “Facebook friends” than John McCain back in 2008. But even poor white trash is allowed on Facebook now, so we’re guessing the ultimate deciding factor in 2012 isn’t going to be Facebook … unless Facebook starts charging $10 a year for accounts.

Cash Crop Halophytes Recent Studies
The last decade has witnessed a sharp increase in losses of arable land from salinisation. In Europe this is especially hard for the farmers in the Mediterranean countries where irrigation farming is very common and many fields have reached a soil salinity level which prevents farmers from raising common crops. This is a world wide problem in dry and semi-dry tropical regions. The losses in soil fertility in certain regions is so severe that rural populations are either starving, leaving their villages or requesting permanent living support through foreign aid.In recent years several scientists in Europe have developed research projects for the sustainable utilisation of halophytes. Together with their North African, Arabian and South Asian colleagues they developed a research network which produced rapidly promising aspects for cashcrop halophytes. Most of their work was based on the collection of papers from an international meeting in Al Ain/UAE. This volume presents useful examples of research from that meeting and the presentation of new research topics. It was found that two avenues were of immediate need: -The development of pilot projects and, -The organisation of an international society for halophyte utilisation. Both aspects are dealt with in this book and together with other recent relevant publications will serve as a guide for future efforts to develop the common utilisation of cashcrop halophytes.This volume will be of great value for all scientists and persons interested in R and D projects for the future use of halophytes and saline irrigation systems.

Over the weekend, I happened to see an old post from Frugal Hack about reselling Marketplaces, and I felt like there had to be more options out there. I felt like, we, as mile and point focused resellers could do more. So I did some research into another marketplace, Fulfillment by Sears (FBS).
About Fulfilled by Sears
Sometime in the “past” (articles seem to disagree), Sears, which had provided a marketplace, which according to the Amazon Sellers was untested. The article that I did find notes that Fulfilled by Sears (FBS), was released in the March, 2013 time frame. The program was specifically designed to compete with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), and as of March, 2013 had a “pay as you go” approach (you may see in the Amazon Sellers link, that there was a $40 fee just to try it out).
The pricing seems somewhat competitive to FBA, here is their top level summary:
Comparing Fulfilled by Sears (FBS) to Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
Other than the monthly fee (with Sears requires you to pay $39.99 after $400 in sales, and Amazon gives you the choice), its hard to see the differences.
Since I have a hard time looking at summaries like the above and applying them to products I sell, in general I like to use examples. Sears FBS has a calculator that is, shall we say, not as robust as Amazon’s FBA calculator. For this particular example, I selected two products, one electronic, and one home good, to try to get a good spread.
The first example uses the Asus Nexus Tab 16GB, which BigHabitat has posted a bunch about.
Asus Nexus Tab 16GB FBS to FBA Comparison
|Asus Nexus Tab 16GB||Fulfilled by Sears||Fulfilled by Amazon|
|Pick and Pack Fee||$1.00||$1.02|
The second example is a Dyson that was popular over the holidays.
Dyson DC35 FBS to FBA Comparison
|Dyson DC35||Fulfilled by Sears||Fulfilled by Amazon|
|Pick and Pack Fee||$1.00||$4.03|
So, really, Sears is pretty competitive when you look at the breakdowns, although their marketplace commissions are more for electronics, they are pretty neck and neck at the bottom line price.
Fulfilled by Sears is just another marketplace option out there for those that want to try an alternative to Amazon without having to do your own fulfillment. Sears does have a national and somewhat respected name.
I’ll have some more analysis later this week.
What do you think of Fulfilled by Sears? | <urn:uuid:e26d9662-d470-43aa-b5bd-9f4e08bd4dd7> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://saverocity.com/taggingmiles/introducing-fulfillment-sears-resellers/ | 2019-03-21T09:05:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202506.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20190321072128-20190321094128-00138.warc.gz | en | 0.947185 | 597 |
