The former attorney general Lord Goldsmith has called on law students and lawyers to make pro bono an inherent part of legal professional life.
Goldsmith, who recently joined US firm Debevoise & Plimpton, said pro bono is “not an add-on to professional life, but an inherent part of it”.
“The core responsibility of a lawyer is to help people to vindicate their rights and meet their responsibility in a world increasingly dominated by legal considerations,” said Goldsmith.
The former Fountain Court barrister, who is currently taking his solicitor conversion exams, made his plea at the first birthday of Queen Mary, University of London’s free legal advice centre, of which he is the patron.
To coincide with National Pro Bono Week the centre has launched a service for those involved in the arts, advising on copyright, media and contractual issues. This new practice is in addition to the centre advising on landlord and tenant disputes, personal injury and tax, as well as VAT.
In its first year Queen Mary’s pro bono unit advised more than 150 clients from the university and local community, with 64 students being overseen by lawyers from Field Fisher Water-house and Reed Smith Richards Butler. | <urn:uuid:6b3e70d3-337d-4f42-a834-8597b5c3636d> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.thelawyer.com/lord-goldsmith-urges-increase-in-pro-bono-work/ | 2017-12-16T22:41:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948589512.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171216220904-20171217002904-00549.warc.gz | en | 0.974724 | 255 |
Janus Capital Group, owner of the Janus, Intech and Perkins funds, reported a 13 percent decline in profit as clients pulled out money for the 14th consecutive quarter.
Net income in the three months ended Dec. 31 fell to $31.2 million, or 17 cents a share, from $35.7 million, or 19 cents, a year earlier, the Denver-based company said Thursday. Profit beat the 14-cent average estimate of eight analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
“Mutual fund performance fees remained quite negative, though that was offset somewhat by a big upstep in performance fees at Intech,” Michael Kim, an analyst with Sandler O'Neill & Partners LP in New York, said in an interview. Intech uses mathematical models to choose securities.
Chief Executive Officer Richard M. Weil has worked to reduce Janus's dependence on equities, strengthening his fixed-income team and planning the introduction of multi-asset products known as absolute-return funds, as investors have shunned stocks for bonds. Poor long-term fund performance led to continued withdrawals and lower fees, even as Janus's fixed-income investments reached $26.4 billion, or about 17 percent of total assets.
Assets increased 5.8 percent from a year earlier to $156.8 billion as global stocks rose 13 percent in 2012, based on the MSCI AC World Index. Clients withdrew a net $3.6 billion in the quarter, excluding money market funds. Only fixed-income products attracted money, with about $700 million in net deposits.
While assets rose, Janus earned less in investment-related fees because of performance measures that reduce fees when funds fail to meet their benchmarks over trailing periods of 12 to 36 months. Negative performance fees cost Janus $13.6 million in the quarter and $75.4 million in 2012. Fees from mutual funds were reduced $21.9 million in the quarter because of underperformance.
“We expect this level of negative performance fees to continue for the next several quarters,” Chief Financial Officer Bruce Koepfgen said during a conference call with analysts, referring to mutual fund fees.
Revenue rose 0.5 percent to $216.6 million. Expenses climbed 9.4 percent to $158.6 million, driven by an 11 percent jump in compensation and incentive pay. Pay dropped 7.1 percent compared with the third-quarter of 2012 after the company lowered pay to senior executives.
Janus repurchased 293,100 shares of common stock during the fourth quarter at a total cost of $2.6 million.
Weil struck a deal in August with Tokyo-based insurer Dai-ichi Life Insurance Co. that has helped support the firm's shares. Japan's second-largest life insurer agreed to purchase 15 percent to 20 percent of Janus shares within a year, invest $2 billion in the funds and help distribute them in Japan.
Dai-ichi held 19.9 percent as of Dec. 4, according to a regulatory filing. The company, which had options priced at $10.25 a share, bought the entire holding at lower prices on the open market.

DescriptionGiggle Water: On The House is a new tilt-based game overflowing with slapstick humor. In fine “Roaring 20's” style, these 2D-cutout characters get quite wobbly at their local speakeasy while players work to help them pour a decent drink.
The main character Alfie is a distinguished gentleman in a fancy fedora. Exotic spirits flow generously through the taps at his favorite gin joint, while lively ragtime tunes play in the background. However, after just a few drinks this dapper chap quickly turns into one tipsy fellow!
Characters respond to your tilts and with each glass of Giggle Water become slightly less coordinated. The silly, comedic physics and old-timey music makes this app a great game to play while with friends or at a party.
How To Play:
In Giggle Water: On The House the fun comes from trying to quench Alfie’s thirst!
After you fill the glass, all you have to do is get the hooch into Alfie’s mouth without spilling it. However, there’s a catch: the more you drink, the more your character sways, swills and swaggers and the more fun he is to control!
* Full featured physics-based control system, using the accelerometer
Enjoy hours of fun and laughter with Giggle Water: On The House!

I was compensated by Michaels for this post but, as always, all opinions are 100% my own.
It’s true, my winter crafting has already begun! You can never start too early to get ahead. Just ask Michaels! They are ready to help you get a head start by hosting a Holiday Pinterest Party at their stores on November 15th. Attendees of the Pinterest Party will have the opportunity to create top holiday Pinterest crafts with Michaels supplies.
“Make it with Michaels” and see how easy it can be to ease that holiday stress! I was inspired by one of the Holiday Pinterest Party projects to make these Woodland Mason Jar Winter Scenes.
Kerr Mason Jar, pint
Kerr Mason jar, quart
Buffalo Snowflakes, 3 oz.
2 LED tea lights
2 woodland Christmas ornaments
1 package white mini pine cone ornaments
2 Christmas berry picks
Trim the end off of the berry pick and stick it into the snow at the back of the quart jar. Place one of the woodland ornaments into the jar in front of the pick. The ornament is heavy, but the snow is dense and will hold it up.
Add the other woodland ornament to the quart jar lid. Add the other tea light and some pine cones to the smaller jar lid.
I hope you can attend the Holiday Pinterest Party at your local Michaels on November 15 (from 1 PM – 4 PM)! | <urn:uuid:34e73423-ef21-4341-9a19-1a2a6f062801> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.thescrapshoppeblog.com/woodland-mason-jar-winter-scene-madewithmichaels/ | 2022-01-16T22:20:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300244.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220116210734-20220117000734-00637.warc.gz | en | 0.916201 | 298 |
Located next to the Clara Barton House is Glen Echo Park. Established in 1891 as a National Chautauqua Assembly (liberal arts center), Glen Echo later became the area's premier amusement park until 1968. It became a National Park Site in 1970. Today, you can still take art classes, watch a puppet show, ride the historic Dentzel Carousel or dance in the exquisite Spanish Ballroom. Walk upstream from Lockhouse 6 to mile 7.6 and take the footbridge across to MacArthur Boulevard. Glen Echo Park is approximately half a mile down MacArthur, toward the city.

Acting requires a lot of method, creativity, and internalization. It is an artform that is as complicated as it is interesting to an outsider. Truly, it cannot be simply overstated that acting involves real work. Actors are made to memorize their lines, change the way they speak and move to suit the character that they are portraying, and are often times uglified for their roles. In some really heavy but meaty roles, actors are even required to change their physical appearance drastically so as to resemble the character that they are portraying.
This list dishes to you the top 10 most astonishing acting transformations that took place in some of the most recent film releases in Hollywood. Check the list out and see for yourself how these actors basically disappeared in their respective film roles and assumed new personalities altogether. Ready?
10. Cameron Diaz in “Being John Malkovich” (1999)
Diaz is probably one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood back in the late nineties and even up to this day. It was really a challenge for her to play a homely and simple housewife in this landmark film. Her hair was made frizzy and she was made to look truly ugly and plain in this film. Her transformation succeeded and she played the part with passing marks!
9. Meryl Streep in “The Iron Lady” (2011)
Streep could never go wrong in her film roles. She is simply a director’s actor and she is like a chameleon in her many roles for the last 40 years. In this film, she played United Kingdom’s famed prime minister Margaret Thatcher with flying colors. She looked, talked, and acted the part. This won for her the Best Actress Oscar for the second time.
8. Tom Hanks in “Cast Away” (2000)
As many would say, Hollywood legend Tom Hanks is an American film treasure, and rightfully so! Hanks is one of the most respected actors in Hollywood today and one of his most memorable roles was the role of a shipwreck survivor in this film which almost won for him his third Best Actor Academy Award.
7. Elizabeth Banks in “The Hunger Games (2013)
Banks has very classic movie queen looks. This did not stop her from effectively playing Effie Trinket in the film franchise. For the role, she was made to wear over the top costumes and also wore histrionic make-up so she would really look the part. The transformation worked and she earned praises for this role.
6. Jared Leto in “Dallas Buyers’ Club” (2013)
This Jean Marc Valle film earned so many praises for its relevant theme on AIDS and homophobia. Nevertheless, the film will never be that successful if not for the tour de force performance of Leto as drug addict and drag queen Rayon. He won the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this role.
5. Michael Fassbender in “Hunger” (2008)
Fassbender is fast becoming one of the decade’s most acclaimed British actors – channeling actors like Sean Connery. Daniel Day Lewis, and Colin Firth. His role in this film required him to lose so much weight – and so what he simply did wasd starve himself until he had already lost 42 pounds.
4. Hilary Swank in “Boys Don’t Cry” (1999)
Before this film, Swank was only known as the leading lady of the male protagonist in the Karate Kid film franchise. In this film, she played the role of lesbian Brandon Teena with so much aplomb that she basically swept all the film awards for her fierce portrayal of the real-life Teena Brandon in this tragic film.
3. Charlize Theron in “Monster”
Hollywood just loves to create monsters out of its babes and this risk paid off highly for CharlizeTheron. Playing real-life serial killer Aileen Wuornos, Theron’s transformation in the film was nothing short of astonishing. She won the Best Actress Academy Award for her shattering portrayal of Wuornos in this film.
2. Christian Bale in “The Machinist” (2004)
Bale is known as a method actor who is often very difficult to work with because of his unreasonable demands and notorious temper on the set. Nevertheless, very few people will disagree that he is actually one of the best actors in the business. In this thriller, Bale lost 62 pounds for the role of Trevor Reznik.
1. Matthew McConaughey in “Dallas Buyers’ Club”
McConaughey lost 42 pounds to play the role of dying AIDS patient and crusader Ron Woodroof in this film which also won for him a slew of acting awards – including the much-coveted Oscar for Best Actor in a Lead Performance. His portrayal in the film remains very memorable and he virtually disappears in his role. | <urn:uuid:77cef4b4-adfe-4319-a52f-c8549b1220f7> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://grablists.com/top-10-most-astonishing-physical-transformations-in-movies/ | 2017-03-24T18:03:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218188550.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212948-00305-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976314 | 1,034 |

THIS POST WAS UPDATED AT 12:15 PM WITH A STATEMEMENT FROM THE MAIN STREET ALLIANCE.
1. Fizz hears the mayor's task force on the minimum wage is faltering right now because business heavies like chamber leader Maud Daudon want too many concessions.
Yesterday, we reported that a business group called Forward Seattle was floating a $12.50 minimum wage proposal—and $11 for small businesses—that would count "total compensation" such as tips and commissions toward the wage.
We have called Daudon to see if she supports the group and if they were part of a potential business-backed initiative to counter a pending initiative from the left by socialist city council member Kshama Sawant's allies at 15 Now; chamber spokeswoman Terri Hiroshima told us because the negotiations are ongoing, the chamber has no comment.
Though sources tell Fizz a faction of smaller businesses from the Main Street Alliance (small progressive indie businesses such as Cupcake Royale that supported Seattle's paid sick leave legislation) is okay with the $15 wage—phased in for small businesses over seven years, MSA spokesman Joshua Welter says the group hasn't taken any official postion and is just hoping to come up with "an opportunity to find common ground on a solution that raises the minimum wage" while also protecting small businesses.
Word is: Sawant wants a three-year phase-in (and is adamant about no tip credit or other concessions) but is open to discussions with the small business group.
2. Yesterday's U.S. Supreme Court ruling outlawing aggregate limits on individual campaign contributions won't have any impact on Washington state elections according to a preliminary analysis by Washington state's Public Disclosure Commission, PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson says.
Not because PDC rules are so righteous. But because as it already stands in Washington state, there are no aggregate limits on individual contributors who give to separate campaigns. And though there are limits on contributions to individual candidates ($950 for a state legislature candidate, for example), there are currently no limits on individual contributions to the parties or political committees.
There have never been any limits on giving to political committees in Washington state races, which is why the infamous precursor to yesterday's decision, Citizens United—which facilitated unlimited corporate contributions to candidate campaigns—didn't have a seismic impact on local races.
The real conflict between Citizens United and Washington state campaign finance law has to do with disclosure: Citizens United shields campaign contributions while PDC rules are thankfully adamant about disclosure.
The battle over education has now formally divided the GOP. And judging from yesterday's SCOTUS ruling, liberals are fighting a losing battle on limits. Disclosure rules like the ones in Washington state—which state Attorney General Bob Ferguson turned to last year to expose corporate donations to the anti-GMO campaign—are the best bet for combating excessive money in politics.
3. Up until now, so-called education reform has only torn apart the Democratic party, setting reformers for tougher teacher evaluation rules against traditionally union-friendly Democrats.
However, after Republicans in Olympia joined with pro-union Democrats against Obama-style federal education mandates this year, the battle over education has now formally divided the GOP.
State Rep. Cathy Dahlquist (R-31, Enumclaw), citing her frustration with her party's questionable commitment to education reform (and funding!) declared her candidacy against longtime incumbent Republican state Sen. Pam Roach (R-31, Auburn), who, with a flamboyant floor speech, voted against a GOP senate bill to upgrade teacher evaluations this year.
*Dahlquist is one of the few Republicans PubliCola has ever endorsed over a Democrat, which we did when she first ran for the house in 2010. | <urn:uuid:2802bd28-7c93-4a2d-97e2-ce1937a15315> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.seattlemet.com/news-and-profiles/publicola/articles/morning-fizzsawantokay-april-2014 | 2014-09-30T21:58:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1412037663167.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20140930004103-00275-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952052 | 768 |

|| "I had a bit of a cry after I heard the mastered album," says Rod
Thomas, Bright Light Bright Light, of his third long-player Choreography. Rod is not usually the sentimental sort. But he is a man born of the Welsh Valleys. It comes out. Why so emotional this time, Rod? "Because I can't believe I managed to do something I feel so proud of." In the course of its production, Choreography answered a personal and artistic conundrum for Rod. "I've been in a weird position of being too indie to be pop and too pop to be indie. This time I wanted to make a bold, colourful record that celebrates its pop self." This time, he did it.
Rod Thomas is possibly the most independent pop star in the world. He is his own label boss, A&R, manager, tour manager and one time booking agent. He publishes himself and organises all his own artwork. The occasional club he runs, Romy and Michelle's Saturday Afternoon Tea Dance, at the brilliantly named C'mon Everybody bar in Brooklyn, is his concept, execution, playlist and NYC pals. His musical collaborators - Elton John, each individual Scissor Sister, Alan Cumming - are drawn from his own rolodex, free from label interference of what might make bank, invited along to suit his specific tastes. However indebted to classic pop methodology and dotted with indisputably ace pop people they become, his records are every note and beat his own.
After moving from London to New York three years since, multi instrumentalist, singer and for one night only - ta-dah! -dancer Rod Thomas has gone and done it his way. "This one is so close to what it was supposed to be," he says of the record, still looking a little startled at what pop fairydust he managed to sprinkle over the project. "It's a really special thing. The whole thing was about making a record that I give a fuck about with people that give a fuck. That is a joy."
Work began in earnest on Choreography in January 2015. The story of
its' unfolding reads like the script for an unmade Richard Curtis film. At the close of his massive world tour supporting his great friend, mentor and chief Choreography collaborator, Elton John, the maestro took Rod aside invited him to open for him on New Year's Eve at The Barclay Centre, a stone's throw from Rod's new home in Crown Heights. "The whole room went crazy. Just down the road from my flat. It was, no word of a lie, the happiest night of my life."
It was snowing in Brooklyn last January, a neat analogy for the blizzard of emotions the genial popsessive was filled with after completing his live duties. Housebound, satiated and raring to write again, he settled down with his favourite films and vowed to write a song a day for his forthcoming third album. "I knew I wanted to call it Choreography and thought about what it was that interested me about it; the unison, how dance makes you feel." He watched Flashdance, Footloose, easy starting points. "I thought about dancing being banned in New York and about how good it makes you feel. I thought about choreographing my life in London and New York. I DJ a lot, my job is to make people dance and I love watching people dance. That was important for me for the record."
He engulfed himself in visual imagery. "I watched Big Trouble in Little China, Romy and Michele, obviously, Amelie, A Bout de Soufflé. Loads of films from French New Wave to 80s cheese, independent shorts to blockbusters and picked out moments that made me happy and made me think."
The unusual starting point for all this inspiration was Kim Cattrall's dance sequence in Mannequin, the jump-off point for album highpoint, Symmetry Two Hearts. "I wanted to feel as cool as her." This is game talk from a proper 21st century pop idol. His Jake Shears duet, the scorchingly sensual Kiss For Kiss was inspired by another unlikely filmic reference. "You know the bit in Alien: Resurrection where Sigourney Weaver is writhing in that pit of aliens? That's what I wanted it to feel like." It's an unsurprisingly physical song. If you are spotting an ongoing thread to the references here, you might like to bracket them under the umbrella 'intelligent camp.' Rod wouldn't argue with you. "There's much more humour and honesty and my own personal energy to this record. There are camp touches to backing vocals, references to Little Shop of Horrors."
There is a serious point beneath all this showmanship and Hollywood glitz. Rod Thomas opened his pop hand almost a decade ago, when as a London subway busker he was signed temporarily to Elton's management
company. At the time, due mostly to circumstance ("I couldn't afford
to buy the equipment I needed to make electronic music") and something
voguish in the air, he fell uncomfortably into the lineage of the new
folk denizens, the Lauras, Noahs and even the nascent (gulp) Mumfords.
"I even recorded a song on a Ukelele," he notes. This was categorically not a place Rod wanted to be. "It was very of a time. I do remember feeling that I didn't want to be vocal about being gay in that world, partly because it didn't really seem to be present, at all, in it. There's a gorgeous freedom to pop music. I wanted to feel that."
Rod underwent a seismic career change, lifting his new name Bright Light Bright Light from another childhood film reference, Gremlins. "I got really fucking bored of being this sad guy who plays a guitar singing about broken hearts. I'm not that person. I can be ridiculous. I do want to make pop music. I couldn't work out how to translate the absurd side of my personality in folk." On Choreography, he makes peace with his great personal and musical shift. The opening single is All In The Name, his most balls-out 3.30minute pop moment yet. The lyric centres around the constant need for approval on social media, something the feels familiar to Rod having tried to fit in musically. "It's a take on how people go absolutely out of their way to be absolutely adored by everyone," he says, "The lyrics are piqued, delivered from somebody who is desperate to do that." The one strike stick of the chorus is emboldened by all the album's collaborators joining in for the ride. He may be a singular man, but Rod is fond of a bit of group therapy. This kaleidoscopic DIY approach feels fresh
and unforced, a proper free-for-all under his unique and pleasing
Which brings us circuitously to the final cog in Choreography's wheel.
The actual choreographer. Rod was on a visit back to Britain when he
spotted his old touring buddy John Grant sitting in the corner of the
East London restaurant, Hoi Polloi, sitting with a friend. "This guy
said 'are you Bright Light Bright Light?'" he recalls. With a serendipity you couldn't invent, the fan in question was multi TONY, Laurence Olivier and Drama Desk award-winner Steven Hoggett, possibly the most in-demand theatrical choreographer and movement expert working on stage today. Steven was happy to take a tiny break from his schedule working on the forthcoming Harry Potter play to take up the role of the Bob Fosse to Rod's Liza Minelli, to turn Choreography into a full dance escapade.
"He's a smart guy, with killer tunes," says Steven of Rod. "He mentioned he wanted to call the album Choreography and to have a video concept across all the single releases. We met in New York a couple of times and decided to go guerrilla and shoot three videos in four days. He had a tonne of ideas and had a great time referencing a load of shapes from 80s and 90s videos. There are a lot to spot if you're into that kind of thing." Rod finally got to unleash his inner Jane Jackson. "He inspired me no end. I love the guy and he worked his ass off in an environment he had no previous in. I could bang on about him forever."
This was about more than just creating arresting imagery and a dynamic backdrop to Bright Light Bright Light's best record yet. It was about
Rod Thomas allowing himself to be just that, in all his glorious extremes. It was about fulfilling his proper potential, entirely on his own terms. "Carrying on with how amazing this whole process has been of making the record," he says, "Steven was the icing on the cake. I was kind of terrified that I'd be really shit at dancing. I had to up my game and use my brain in a very different way. This is exactly what the whole album has been about. Each new album should be a new challenge. With this one, for the first time I got to make the album exactly as I wanted to, shoot the videos exactly as I wanted them, with exactly the people I wanted to work with. How brilliant is that?"

A week’s worth of gluten and dairy free menu ideas and recipes. This week I’ve decided it’s time to start eating the leftovers from the freezer. They are taking over and should be consumed. So I made a list of all the ready to go meals and cooked meats. I think I can make it through a long time eating from the freezer in one form or another.
The week will end with an Hawaiian celebration as we watch the NFL Pro Bowl. That means the following Sunday is the Super Bowl. Have you started planning where you will be watching the game and what you will be eating? Well some of you may not be a sports nut like me but start thinking about your game plan.There were some great recipes shared this week. I hope you’ll check back this Thursday too.
Don’t forget Thursdays are Real Food Weekly blog carnivals.
Have a great week and if you’re in the Northeast with me, stay warm my friend.

Maintaining a Positive Community Remotely
Over the weekend, a friend shared a video with me that you may have seen as well, as it has been widely shared on social media. The video was taken in a neighborhood in Naples, Italy, a country that is currently under national quarantine. Despite that restriction, the residents of this neighborhood have all gone out onto their respective balconies to sing together in an act of collaboration and togetherness. A caption for the video explains that the sing-along started with just a few people, but soon others joined, then others, then people began drumming on pots and pans to accompany the melody. The unity captured in this video is a reminder that our collective need for belonging, significance, and fun are truly essential. Regardless of circumstance, humans are social beings who always find ways to connect with others.
It is no surprise, then, that as educators have begun taking on the task of moving their classrooms online, the question that we have been asked most frequently is: How can we continue to hold Morning Meeting or Responsive Advisory Meeting with students virtually?
Center for Responsive Schools is here to support you in this transition. Below are a few ideas and tips to get you started. We will continue to use our blog posts to provide you with resources, and we also encourage you to follow us on Facebook and Twitter, where you can share your ideas and gather more ideas from others in our community. We’re all in this together.
Virtual Ideas for Morning Meeting or Responsive Advisory Meeting
How you conduct a virtual Morning Meeting or Responsive Advisory Meeting will depend on your unique set of circumstances, including what resources are available to students and teachers. However, here are some general considerations:
- Embrace a growth mindset. Recognize that using an online platform changes interaction and impact. But where there is a will there is a way, so view this new challenge as an opportunity to stretch your creativity.
- Don’t feel you need to reinvent the wheel. Utilize the resources you have, such as The Morning Meeting Book or The Responsive Advisory Meeting Book, and adjust activities to adapt to a virtual platform.
- Take time to establish rules for your online meetings. You will need to create new expectations for your online classroom, so be prepared to explain, remind, and reinforce.
- Start small and grow. Just as you needed to scaffold the meeting process for students in the classroom, you will need to do the same for them in the virtual space. Consider starting with one of the components, then adding more throughout the next few days or weeks.
Whether you’re using a video platform or a chat platform to connect with students, here are some options to get you started, along with some ideas you can try out right away!
Greetings and Activities can be found in The Morning Meeting Book.

Poised, charismatic, brilliant, and stunning are just a few ways to describe my personal muse, Michelle Obama. During her eight years as First Lady of the United States, she made major contributions to the political and cultural landscape with her impeccable style and beauty. She raised the bar on state dinner fashion, made it OK to "release the shoulders," and even breathed some life into the kitten heel—all while wearing flawlessly “flatironed” hair from the moment she hit the national stage in 2008 to Inauguration Day in 2017.
The former FLOTUS knows how to give a look. And in a new photo that's surfaced of her, she's serving “I'm so relaxed and chill but like my girl Solange said: Please don’t touch my hair” vibes. She unveiled her bountiful natural curls and made the Internet have a moment.
Now when I saw this picture, TBH, it was no surprise to me. I’ve had the immense pleasure of doing SoulCycle with the First Lady (yes, it’s OK to be jealous), so I’ve seen her in this natural state. In that hot, low-lit room with Beyoncé blasting in the background, we were just two black women with hair wraps and low ponytails ready to leave it all on the bike. But this feeling of solidarity was quickly dashed the next day, as I wrangled my curly hair into a semipresentable bun only to see FLOTUS gliding through the East Wing with perfectly bouncy, feathered hair as if our SoulCycle rendezvous was all a dream.
And as confounding as this transformation was, it wasn’t all that unpredictable. I assumed that Obama would never just throw her hair in a curly bun like me because (1) she was the First Lady of the United States and has her life together and (2) while being the first black First Lady comes with a lot of freedoms, wearing your natural hair is, arguably, not one of them. | <urn:uuid:1a34dca8-b306-44dc-89c0-e08d2de7d4b8> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.glamour.com/story/michelle-obama-natural-hair | 2020-08-10T16:59:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439736057.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20200810145103-20200810175103-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.973114 | 420 |
Nearly five hundred years have passed since Martin Luther penned the words to "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." But time has neither diminished the hymn's popularity nor dulled its message. Today, in fact, the hymn ranks among the world's best-known, having been translated into almost every known language. It has appeared in hymnals the world over. Its message has been embraced by Protestant and Roman Catholic communities alike.
But such was not always the case. Early in its history, "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" served as a rallying cry for the Reformation movement. So powerful was the song's message that the reformers drew strength from it in even the darkest times. More than a few martyrs went to their deaths singing out, "The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still. ..." In time, the hymn earned the title "The Battle Hymn of the Reformation."
Luther based the hymn on the forty-sixth Psalm and wrote it in his native German tongue. Some sources claim that he and his supporters sang it as they prepared to face the Diet of Worms in 1521. Others say that he penned a few months later while hidden away for his safety in Wartburg Castle. Still others contend that Luther wrote the hymn as a tribute to his friend Leonhard Kaiser, who was burned at the stake in 1527 for his religious beliefs.
Whatever the hymn's origins, the oldest printed copies of it date back to 1531, with the first English translation making its appearance in 1539. The common English version below was translated by Frederic H. Hedge in 1853:
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever. | <urn:uuid:f3ce3fca-52df-42b3-bc1c-ccd56f53b0bf> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.theholidayzone.com/reformation/fortress.html | 2017-09-25T13:31:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818691830.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20170925130433-20170925150433-00041.warc.gz | en | 0.964889 | 622 |

The Public Investment Corp (PIC) and African Equity and Empowerment Investment Group (AEEI), Sekunjalo’s listed vehicle, value Ayo Technology Solutions at a healthy R14.8bn.
The market values it at R11.3bn, which, while substantially lower, still reflects a price-to-earning multiple of 95.
The share has lost a quarter of its value since its 21 December listing and the PIC is more than R1bn out of pocket. This has raised questions in the market about the PIC’s investment criteria, which from the outside appear to be highly selective.
The listing followed a private placement in which the PIC was the only participant, pumping R4.3bn into Ayo, the tech company of AEEI and, ultimately, Sekunjalo and its leader Iqbal Survé, with AEEI bringing its holding down from 80% to 49%.
Noise around the Ayo share is in part due to the association with Survé, who incidentally tried unsuccessfully to list Sagamartha Technologies in April.
Survé and Sekunjalo, according to Ayo, “hold only an historical nominal direct interest in Ayo equivalent to 0.015% and 0.00038% of the issued share capital of Ayo respectively”.
Whether it’s the Survé association or not, the market is clearly finding the PIC and AEEI valuation hard to swallow despite the fact that, since listing, Ayo has come out with buoyant financial results and a material deal to manage Sasol’s global IT requirements.
Noise around the share is rooted in the private placement, which brought a company valued at R14.8bn to the JSE with R478.7m in revenue, R29.6m in bottom-line income and R292.4m in total assets prior to the listing.
The share sits at R33, but since listing, it has been on a roller-coaster between R45 and R24.
The PIC has been called out on the investment, largely because it seems to have gone ahead without it being put to its board. The PIC said it was investigating its own decision, but appears to have concluded in its own favour.
“The investment committee wanted to see if all the investment processes and procedures were followed,” PIC investor relations specialist Sekgoela Sekgoela told Moneyweb. “The investment committee is satisfied with the outcomes.”
The private placement saw it invest R4.3bn at R43/share for a 29.9% stake in Ayo, and valuing Ayo at R14.8bn, while AEEI reduced its stake from 80% to 49%.
According to a PIC presentation it forwarded to Moneyweb, its investment was justified as it believed the IT industry consolidation would increase the sectors’ attractiveness.
With a fragmented market, and market leader EOH Holdings only having a 6.6% share, there was “significant scope to increase market share by acquiring smaller companies”, according to Ayo strategy documents.
The PIC said services and software are the two most attractive sub-sectors in ICT, with higher margins, greater pricing power, a significantly high proportion of recurring revenue and low capital intensity.
It said significant BT (British Telecom) clients were looking for transformed ICT providers, and “Ayo’s capital was necessary to ensure that BT meets its customers’ BEE requirements”.
Ayo bought 30% of BT’s South African business from AEEI, reportedly for R990m, and has an alliance agreement with it. This seems to be the crux of the PIC’s interest: that BT clients will move over to Ayo because of its empowerment credentials.
This is where it becomes confusing, as the stake in BT has been passed from one set of black owners to another.
Without providing details on Ayo’s prior black ownership, CEO Kevin Hardy said Ayo is 77% black owned, and 33% of this ownership is by women — and this is “the fundamental difference between the pre-listing and the post-listing ownership”.
This shareholding is transformative, significant, and assists clients with their own preferential procurement policies, he said, and Ayo has a competitive edge helping clients reach their targets. This appears to be true, with Ayo picking up the Sasol contract in May.
Just prior to this announcement, Ayo announced that in the six months to February, its revenue increased by 49% to R349m (R234m previously), while operating profit increased by 55% to R45m (R29m). Headline earnings more than doubled to 17.36c.
According to the company, its asset base grew from R188m to R4.6bn (including capital raised from the listing), while its net asset value (NAV) grew to 1 257c from 8.57c.
It is at due diligence stage on three acquisitions.
Hardy would give no details, other than to say there were a “number of acquisition and business discussions going on at present”.
He added: “The market confidence — locally and internationally — in Ayo’s ability to deliver on its mandate, remains firm.”
The Sasol deal will see Ayo provide and manage Sasol’s entire global network, communications and security services from South Africa, and will have a material impact on revenue and earnings. Hardy gave no other details other than to say there “are many other multinationals and large organisations that require, and are considering, Ayo’s particular supporting services”.
Asked about share price volatility, Hardy said the “volumes are small, so any movement — up or down — would be seen as volatile and should therefore be seen in that context”.
He could not comment on market sentiment, but said the results of the company’s continued delivery of its services to clients speak for themselves.
Asked about the valuation, he said NAV has no bearing on the valuation of any digital/technology business. “It is about the future value that will be created in the long term.”
He went on to say: “At the time of listing, Ayo had a market cap just under R14bn… We see no reason why this potential will not be achieved or realised and even exceeded, given the scope of what is required in the local market, how fast the world is changing (digitally speaking), and the need for the basket of services and skills base that Ayo already has on offer, which is already resonating with a growing client base.”
Ayo’s 13 December 2017 pre-listing statement said it wanted 5-8% of the South African ICT market by 2022, achieved by exploiting its competitive advantages — including its empowerment credentials, global alliances and strong management — and by expanding its existing service offering through organic growth and acquisitions.
The Sasol deal and others in the making may bring it there a lot quicker than it dreamt of. The market, however, remains wary.

Kuster: 'Dramatic changes' seen in climateBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
May 23. 2014 10:59PM
NASHUA — New Hampshire ski, travel and tourism representatives met on Friday to discuss climate change and how it is affecting the Granite State economy. U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., joined 2nd District Rep. Ann Kuster, D-N.H., to host the roundtable discussion, hearing feedback from area ski resort owners and a climatologist from the University of New Hampshire.
“The big picture is that we are getting wetter, and we are getting warmer,” said Dr. Cameron Wake, the UNH climatologist. The snow-covered dynamics is making big changes in New Hampshire, and it is impacting winter recreation, according to Wake.
In New England, there has been a more than 70 percent increase in heavy precipitation events, with about 15 incidents taking place in Nashua in the last decade that involved more than four-inches of precipitation in a quick amount of time, he said.
“The impact of climate has been so broad here in New Hampshire,” said Kuster. “ … We are seeing dramatic changes.”
Some of those changes include a significant delay in winter temperatures, forcing winter recreation to start later, according to officials.
Two years ago, Lake Winnipesaukee was not frozen by Feb. 1, prompting a popular pond hockey tournament to be moved.
“I just think that is a terrible loss for us,” said Wake, adding outdoor recreational activities are being moved indoors.
In addition, if there is no snow in the backyards, families are sometimes not inclined to head north for skiing and other outdoor sports, according to Stefan Hausberger, owner of Zimmerman’s Ski and Snowboard in Nashua where the roundtable discussion was held.
Hausberger said his shop is selling more high-end ski equipment because newcomers are not coming through the door. He believes the lack of snow on the ground in southern New Hampshire is resulting in a loss of introductory skiers.
A few years ago, there was a lackluster snowmobiling season because of a shortage of snow, said Lori Harnois, Travel and Tourism Development director for the state’s Department of Resources and Economic Development.
New Hampshire tourism is the second largest industry in the state with 34 million visitors spending a combined $4.6 billion during their trips.
“So it is definitely a vital industry for New Hampshire,” she said, adding the climate change is making businesses adapt for the future.
Ben Wilcox of Mount Cranmore, who also serves as the board chairman for SkiNH, said snowmaking originated as a complement to natural snow.
Six years ago, Cranmore was using 40 to 50 snow guns for its trails. Now, it is using 150 snow guns because of improved snowmaking technology.
“We need to make snow faster, more efficiently and use less energy,” said Wilcox. “It has become the nature of what we do.”
“You are adjusting to the reality of what is to come,” responded Kuster.
According to Whitehouse, the impact of climate change is apparent even for V.F. Corporation, which owns popular companies like The North Face.
He is hopeful that legislation will eventually be approved to reduce carbon pollution — perhaps as early as next year.
“It is a very big deal for Rhode Island,” said Whitehouse, noting large storms have created more ocean along the shores, heavy river flooding in the spring and tropical storms are happening later in the year that before.
“We are going to start experiencing this vicious cycle,” said Wake, who said two or three snowless winter seasons could devastate smaller family-owned businesses in the northern New Hampshire. | <urn:uuid:efcae452-701c-49c3-beb6-a974f8091af9> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.newhampshire.com/article/20140523/NEWS06/140529464/1022/NEWS1201 | 2017-10-24T00:54:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187827662.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023235958-20171024015958-00425.warc.gz | en | 0.958838 | 817 |
Still, I was surprised that my parents had picked up on my competitiveness. It was even more surprising because their daughters had a different priority. About half way through the season while in first place and before a big game we asked our players if they wanted to win, and they responded “Yeah…” but it was clear that winning was not as important to them as it was to their coaches. This jibes with what the book “Coaching Girls’ Softball” by Kathy Strahan reports: The number 1 reason kids play sports is to have fun.
So how to play winning Softball while still keeping the focus on fun? Some recommendations:
Work very hard with newer and less-able players so that they improve and so the team has a better chance to win.
Teach players the best techniques possible.
Play everyone often so that if a player gets injured or misses a game, another can fill in and give the a good chance to win. This also keeps everyone involved, which is great for team chemistry.
Focus on executing correct technique one play at a time, which is something a player can control, instead of the results of a technique. For example, I am OK if a player approaches a grounder correctly but she does not field it because it takes a bad bounce.
Throw in the occasional fun practice activity and the occasional team party or dinner. I especially like to make practice fun after a really good game.
Treat each player with respect and talk with each one at least once a practice. | <urn:uuid:63e9aa8b-a52a-49d1-8984-bf91d6387d42> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.bellaonline.com/ArticlesP/art66802.asp | 2014-12-19T12:14:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802768441.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075248-00134-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985442 | 316 |

Is Pennsylvania a No-Fault State?
Last Updated on September 24, 2023
Pennsylvania is one of 12 states considered a “no-fault” state.
Because Pennsylvania is a no-fault state, you make a claim through your own insurer after an accident, regardless of fault. Your own insurer covers medical bills, lost wages, and certain other expenses.
However, drivers in Pennsylvania can choose whether or not to participate in the no-fault insurance system. Like certain other states, Pennsylvania gives drivers a choice.
Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about Pennsylvania’s no-fault system and how it impacts auto insurance.
Table of Contents:

- Pennsylvania Drivers Choose Between Limited Tort and Full Tort Auto Insurance
- You Have a Limited Ability to Sue Under Pennsylvania’s No-Fault Insurance System
- No-Fault Rules Do Not Apply to Property Damage
- Limited Tort Versus Full Tort in Pennsylvania: Pros and Cons

How Pennsylvania’s No-Fault Insurance System Works
Most states in America are “fault” or “tort” states. In most states, the “at fault” driver in an accident is legally required to pay any expenses, including personal injury costs (like your medical bills) and property damage (like the cost of repairing your vehicle.
In Pennsylvania, however, things work differently. Pennsylvania is one of 12 “no-fault” states in the country. In Pennsylvania, all parties involved in an accident make a claim through their own insurance company regardless of fault.
If someone collides with you at an intersection, for example, then you collect compensation for lost wages and medical bills from your own insurance company – even though you weren’t at fault for the accident.
Pennsylvania’s no-fault insurance system does not extend to property damage. The at-fault driver covers property damage, including the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle after an accident.
Pennsylvania’s no-fault insurance system also limits your ability to sue other drivers after an accident. Because you receive compensation from your own insurance company, you may not be able to sue other drivers for those same expenses.
However, Pennsylvania is unique compared to other states because drivers have an option when purchasing auto insurance: you can choose whether or not to participate in the no-fault system.
Pennsylvania Drivers Choose Between Limited Tort and Full Tort Auto Insurance
When you buy auto insurance in Pennsylvania, you choose between limited tort and full tort auto insurance.
In other words, drivers choose whether they want to participate in Pennsylvania’s no-fault insurance system or with a traditional fault-based insurance system.
Here’s how it works:
Limited Tort: If you choose a limited tort auto insurance policy, you are choosing the no-fault insurance system. If you are involved in an accident, then you receive compensation for lost wages and medical bills through your own insurer, and you may not be able to file a lawsuit to receive compensation from the at-fault party.
Full Tort: Under full tort insurance, you are declining to participate in Pennsylvania’s no-fault insurance system. That means you can file a lawsuit against the at-fault party in an accident to receive compensation.
You Have a Limited Ability to Sue Under Pennsylvania’s No-Fault Insurance System
Pennsylvania’s no-fault insurance system limits your ability to sue other drivers after an accident.
If another driver injures you in an accident, for example, then you cannot file a lawsuit against the other driver for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and certain other non-monetary expenses.
However, you can still file a lawsuit against another driver for serious injuries, accidents involving death, and other major incidents. You could receive compensation for certain expenses from the at-fault driver in a lawsuit.
If you have injuries from an accident beyond soft tissue injuries, then you could file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. However, you cannot file a lawsuit for most minor injuries.
No-Fault Rules Do Not Apply to Property Damage
If another driver damages your vehicle in Pennsylvania, the other driver must cover that property damage. Property damage does not fall under Pennsylvania’s no-fault insurance system.
Even if you choose Pennsylvania’s limited tort option, you receive compensation from the at-fault driver for damage to your vehicle and other property.
If another driver crashes into your vehicle and causes $5,000 of damage, for example, the other driver must cover the cost of repairing your vehicle to pre-loss condition. You would receive $5,000 in compensation from the other driver (or the other driver’s insurance company).
Medical bills, lost wages, and certain other expenses, meanwhile, fall under Pennsylvania’s no-fault insurance system.
Limited Tort Versus Full Tort in Pennsylvania: Pros and Cons
Drivers in Pennsylvania can choose to participate in the limited tort or full tort insurance system. There are pros and cons to each system.
- Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of choosing the limited tort or full tort system:
- Most people choose limited tort because it’s less expensive. Limited tort insurance tends to have lower insurance premiums.
- Full tort insurance tends to be more expensive, and you’ll pay higher monthly insurance premiums with full tort insurance.
- The main disadvantage of limited tort insurance is that it prevents the driver from filing a lawsuit after an accident. If you are seriously injured in an accident, you may not be able to receive full compensation for your loss because of your inability to file a lawsuit.
- Instead of receiving compensation for non-monetary expenses like pain and suffering and emotional distress after an accident, for example, you may only receive compensation for monetary expenses like medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and vehicle repair expenses.
- Many personal injury lawyers recommend choosing the full tort option because it gives them more business. However, most drivers in Pennsylvania choose the limited tort option to save money.
Unless you’re involved in a serious accident involving major injuries, you’re more likely to come out ahead with limited tort insurance in Pennsylvania. However, a single serious accident could make full tort insurance the better option. It’s up to you to decide which option is best for you based on your aversion to risk, budget, and likelihood of filing a lawsuit after an accident.
Pennsylvania Auto Insurance Requirements
Whether you choose the limited tort or full tort option in Pennsylvania, you must meet certain requirements. The state of Pennsylvania requires you to maintain the following minimum amount of insurance coverage at all times, including:
- $15,000 of bodily injury liability coverage per person
- $30,000 of bodily injury liability coverage per accident
- $5,000 of property damage liability coverage
- $5,000 in first-party medical benefits coverage (i.e., personal injury protection)
Any car insurance policy you purchase in Pennsylvania will meet these requirements at a minimum. Most drivers exceed these requirements for added protection. Even a minor accident can quickly exceed the minimum limits above, and you would be forced to pay the remaining expenses out of pocket.
Final Word – Pennsylvania No-Fault Laws
Pennsylvania is one of a handful of states with a no-fault insurance system. However, Pennsylvania also lets drivers choose whether or not to participate in that system.
Drivers in Pennsylvania can choose between limited tort (no-fault) insurance and full tort (fault-based) insurance coverage. Limited tort insurance is cheaper and more popular but limits your ability to file a lawsuit after an accident.

Be stirring as the time; be fire with fire- -Shakespeare
I was going for something sculptural when I made this so I headed down to the Legion of Honor for some inspiration. After posting the drawing of eyes from my sketch book, a client called and told us about the Lover's Eye. How did I miss these treasures all these years?
"While off fighting the Revolutionary War in America, George IV's lover gave him a locket with a miniature painting of her eye; her anonymity was preserved while eye contact was maintained." Genius.
They were made for the courts and affluent households of England, Russia, France and on rare occasion for America.
Instead of Evil Eye, I decided to name our piece Lover's Eye. It has a way of holding our attention that is haunting, mysterious and at the same time feels protective... | <urn:uuid:c1bf6427-fb2d-4541-b0d8-a2b36e574779> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://blog.jeaninepayer.com/2011_02_01_archive.html | 2016-05-03T16:20:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860121618.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161521-00191-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975 | 186 |
DAN RUN CSR - We are running for good causes!
CSR program at Carat Hungary
Dentsu Aegis Network is one of the biggest creative- and media agency business groups in Hungary.
We are lucky to work in a creative and vivid environment, which enables initiatives coming bottom-up to come true. This is how DANRUN was born.
DANRUN allows our colleagues to run in a community, while they are running for a good cause. We involved the whole company in the decision about the NGOs to support. We choose the Vigyél haza! Foundation, the Nem Adom Fel! Foundation and the BAGÁZS Public Benefit Association.
Record number of colleagues applied, as thirty colleagues will entry the 32. SPAR Budapest Maraton® Festival, in a variety of distances within this campaign.
However, not only the serious runner colleagues are involved in the campaign, but also those who contribute volunteer work or material resources to the operation of these organizations.
The preparation of trainings, professional programs are also completed with community fundraising. | <urn:uuid:a40ae33d-bf98-4928-a076-dff46c41c665> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.carat.com/hu/en/news-and-views/httpswwwcaratcomhuennews-and-viewsdan-run-csr-we-are-running-for-good-causes/ | 2017-12-17T00:38:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948592202.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20171217000422-20171217022422-00427.warc.gz | en | 0.938311 | 226 |
While school safety experts say there is no accurate or useful “profile” of students who engage in targeted school violence, the U.S. Secret Service and Federal Bureau of Investigation have reported these statistics:
- 95 percent of school shooters are enrolled students.
- 93 percent engaged in some kind of behavior prior to the attack that caused others to be concerned.
- 80 percent gave some advance warning to at least one person.
School administrators who become aware of troubling behavior have the unenviable responsibility of protecting the safety of all in the school community while giving appropriate weight to the privacy rights of students. Failure to disclose information to those who may have a right to know (e.g., a potential victim) could lead to a legal liability. At the same time, a student could claim that disclosing information about him or her was a violation of his or her constitutional rights or a form of defamation.
However, courts generally defer to the judgment of school officials in their responses to actual threats.
Flexibility under FERPA
Under FERPA (the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), school officials must keep student records, including personally identifiable information, confidential unless a parent or the student (if 18 or older) has given consent. A “health and safety” exception in the law can give school officials more leeway, however.
Federal regulations (34 CFR sections 99.31(a)(10);99.36) allow the release of information from a student’s education record when there is an “articulable and significant threat” to the health and safety of the student who has made the threat or others.
In a 2010 guidance (goo.gl/Fimu3f), the U.S. Department of Education indicated that it has a “flexible standard” and that the law protects school administrators who have a “rational basis” for their actions. It interprets FERPA as granting school administrators the responsibility of determining whether the situation poses a threat and whether that threat requires the release of information.
FERPA’s health and safety exception allows for a temporarily limited release of information to appropriate third parties acting in response to the emergency during the emergency. These third parties would typically be law enforcement officials, public health officials, and/or trained medical personnel. The district must keep a record of the parties to whom the information was disclosed and specify the “articulable and significant threat” that necessitated the disclosure.
In addition to the health and safety exception, school officials should be aware that FERPA does not restrict the disclosure of information that is not contained in a student’s education record. FERPA does not prevent a school official from disclosing personal observations, interactions with a student and other forms of information that are not part of the student’s education record.
Was it a threat? Courts defer to school officials
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has identified four kinds of threats:
- A direct threat identifies a specific act against a specific target and is delivered in a straightforward, clear, and explicit manner: “I am going to place a bomb in the school’s gym.”
- An indirect threat tends to be vague, unclear, and ambiguous. The plan, the intended victim, the motivation, and other aspects of the threat are masked or equivocal: “If I wanted to, I could kill everyone at this school!” While violence is implied, the threat is phrased tentatively – “If I wanted to.” This suggests that a violent act could occur, not that it will occur.
- A veiled threat is one that strongly implies but does not explicitly threaten violence. “We would be better off without you around anymore” clearly hints at a possible violent act, but leaves it to the potential victim to interpret the message and give a definite meaning to the threat.
- A conditional threat is the type of threat often seen n extortion cases. It warns that a violent act will happen unless certain demands or terms are met: “If you don’t pay me one million dollars, I will place a bomb in the school.”
What if a 10-year-old middle school student with no disciplinary record reads aloud to other students a fictional story that he wrote in which a bullied student dons a costume similar to the villain in the movie Halloween and goes on a killing spree, with victims having the same names as students in the school? Is that a threat?
A federal district court considered those exact facts in a 2005 case, D.F. ex. rel. v. Board of Educ. of Syosset Central School District. The school principal informed the parents of two students that the boy had engaged in “threatening behavior” toward their children. The student’s family claimed that constituted an unlawfully false and defamatory statement.
The court dismissed the defamation claim, stating that the principal had a “duty” to speak to the parents of the children named in the story given the “harassing” and “threatening” nature of the story. Under the circumstances, the principal “is protected by qualified privilege,” the court said.
When schools are faced with a claim of First Amendment free speech or constitutional violations, courts generally defer to the actions of school officials. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which has jurisdiction over all of New York State, has ruled that, absent extenuating circumstances, “school administrators are in the best position to assess the potential for harm, and act accordingly.” In its decision in Cuff ex. rel. v. Valley Central School. District (2012), the court said, “In the context of student speech favoring violent conduct, it is not for the courts to determine how school officials should respond.”
School district liability for student violence
In other litigation, the Second Circuit has ruled that school officials will not be found negligent for the sudden, spontaneous acts by students (Mirand v. City of New York, 1994). But if school officials had knowledge of conduct that would put a reasonable person on notice of a potential injury-causing act, that can lead to liability. If school officials do not take appropriate action when they know of prior bad acts, and an incident occurs, the district is exposed to claims of negligence or violations of due process violations. Courts will evaluate whether the wrongful conduct was reasonably foreseeable and whether school officials were deliberately indifferent or negligent.
A lawsuit alleging negligence was filed after the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech by Seung-Hui Cho. The family of two of the victims sued the university, claiming it was responsible for “negligence, gross negligence, and deliberate indifference” of university counseling staff. The plaintiffs pointed to “their failure to render Seung-Hui Cho mental health services of any kind or form, despite being literally begged to do so by concerned faculty members.”
The suit was dismissed. The Supreme Court of Virginia found that Virginia Tech and the Commonwealth of Virginia were not liable because the gunman’s actions were not reasonably foreseeable (Commonwealth of Virginia v. Grafton William Peterson, Administrator of the Estate of Erin Nicole Peterson, Deceased, et al., 2013). The court found that school officials and police reasonably believed that after an initial shooting in a dorm room, the shooter had left the area.
When confronted with an action that a reasonable person would interpret as a threat, school administrators should use their best judgment regarding sharing information about the potential threat. Historically, courts have deferred to the judgment of school officials in such cases. However, if time permits, it is always best to check with your school attorney.

The largemouth bass bite at Roosevelt Lake has slowed some but is still very good. Rory Aikens at the Arizona Game and Fish Department recommends using split shot or Carolina rigged worms during the day. In the morning and evenings, use topwater plugs and jerkbaits.
Aikens says some anglers fishing at night for both bass and catfish have been doing well. The night crappie bite has slowed but there's been success with live minnows under a crappie light. Flathead catfish angling is getting better as the water warms.

This Simple E-voting System is created using Visual Basic 2008 and Microsoft Access 2007 is used for Database support and crystal Report is the tool used for reporting. In this system, it introduces a computerized registration form for each voter through which voter details, including name, course, year level, etc. can be entered. From these details, an algorithm will generate a unique id. This registration system will retain a single database table for all the students of the Kabankalan Catholic College. The officer of SSAO that is in-charge of the voting activity will collect the details from the registrar office.
And here are some features of these systems:
- Can register new students as voters
- The voter can vote only once in every election per school year
- The admin can open the voting of candidates
- Can register new candidate in every year level and in different categories
- The administrator can view the logs for those voters who did not vote as well as the track of those who logged in the system.
- And the administrator has the control on resetting the scoring of all candidates.
You can log in this system using this administrator account.
And I have attached the manual on how to use the system and how it works.

The index is a free float-adjusted market cap weighted index comprising large- and mid-cap European stocks, screened for liquidity. The index consists of the following 16 developed market countries: Austria, Belgium/Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The long equity positions in the index are reconstituted and rebalanced each March and September. The index seeks to eliminate exposure to (or “hedge” against) fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the securities of the Index are denominated. In order to effect such a hedge, it applies one-month currency forward rates to the index’s total equity exposure to each currency. The currency hedge is reset on a monthly basis.

My sister made monkey bread once totally from scratch. It was amazing! It was also extremely time consuming making the dough from scratch. I came across this recipe because I had some biscuits that I needed to use. I found it here. This was easy in terms of not having to make a dough but it did take time to cut up all of the biscuits and then get them coated. I did change a few things from this recipe. I used more sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar. I also dipped each ball into the melted butter. I then dipped it into a sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon mixture. I loved the idea of the sugar in the bag because it was one less thing to clean up and you could shake the dough in the bag to coat it.
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (I actually used 3/4 cup of sugar)
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (I used 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon)
- 2 cans (16.3 ounces each) of Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, optional (I did not use any nuts)
- 1/2 cup of raisins, optional (I did not use any raisins)
- 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar (I used 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar)
- 3/4 cup of butter, melted
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease a bundt pan with shortening.
- In a large storage plastic bag, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon(I also added the brown sugar).
- Separate the dough into 16 biscuits.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters. (I then rolled each into a ball and dipped in the butter)
- Shake the biscuit balls in a bag to coat.
- Place the biscuit balls in a pan.
- Next add the walnuts and raisins among the biscuit pieces.
- In small bowl, mix brown sugar and butter; pour over biscuit pieces. (I did not do this step as I dipped the biscuits into the butter)
- Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in center. At about 25 minutes I placed aluminum foil over to keep it from getting overly dark.
- When it is finished baking turn the pan upside down onto serving plate; pull apart to serve. Serve warm and enjoy! | <urn:uuid:ffd97f6f-f9af-4eef-a02d-04b16e9f182b> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://cakestobake.com/articles/kml9876/PillsburyGrandsMonkeyBread.html | 2019-04-22T10:06:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578551739.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20190422095521-20190422121521-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.941428 | 504 |
Look, we get it– cleaning the kitchen is never anyone’s favorite job. Getting one of the most frequently-used rooms in your home in photoshoot-ready condition is easier than it looks though! Most of the time, kitchen cleaning takes forever because we put off tasks until we can’t avoid them any longer. Steer clear of this problem entirely by setting up a schedule detailing what you’ll clean daily, weekly, and monthly to break down your tasks into manageable portions:
- Wipe counters and stove
- Sweep floor
- Take care of dishes and sink
- Put all food/ingredients/utensils away
- Mop floor
- Wipe fridge surface
- Clean appliance surfaces (toaster, oven, etc.)
- Wash dish towels, etc.
By separating your cleaning tasks and giving yourself adequate time to do each one, you can lighten your load and end up with a cleaner kitchen along the way.
Your kitchen is the heart of your home, and it should be working for you! If you’re looking to remodel your kitchen, whether to give yourself more space or simply to change up the design, give us a call at (210) 535-1000 for a free consultation today! | <urn:uuid:6d6afa71-2fb8-4cfa-ab08-d4f8f7cde7d8> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://omgkitchenbath.com/quick-kitchen-cleaning-tips/ | 2021-09-21T02:23:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057131.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20210921011047-20210921041047-00618.warc.gz | en | 0.915086 | 262 |

Changing Jobs: Actively employed participants who change positions from their covered job to one not eligible for ORP participation must enter the Massachusetts State Employees’ Retirement System (MSERS), if they otherwise meet the requirements for participation in MSERS.
The State Board of Retirement does not recognize years of participation in the ORP for purposes of meeting the ten-year service requirement for vesting in MSERS.
The State Board of Retirement does not accept transfers from the ORP to purchase years of creditable service under MSERS.
The Group Insurance Commission recognizes years of participation in the ORP and years of creditable service in the MSERS for purposes of meeting the ten-year service requirement for post-employment benefits.
Returning to a Covered Position: If a formerly active participant moves to a non-covered position and later accepts a position that is eligible for ORP participation, they would be considered a newly eligible employee and entitled to an election period during which they would choose their (prospective) retirement plan coverage: ORP or MSERS. | <urn:uuid:59951824-6be4-4a9a-a26b-c31d8f38afda> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://www.mass.edu/forfacstaff/orp/noncovered.asp | 2018-07-19T23:22:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591332.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20180719222958-20180720002958-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.933635 | 213 |
Although a meta-analysis on biochar's effects on N2O emission reported an overall reduction in N2O emission by adding biochar to the soils, there are still variations in the changes in N2O emission, especially from field results. The objectives of this study are 1) to compare the effects of biochar addition on N2O emission between three agricultural upland field experiments, where soil water status was dry favoring nitrification and 2) to identify main factors explaining biochar's variable effects on N2O emission. Three field experiments were conducted: Exp A in the cultivated grassland treated with rice husk biochar at 2 ton ha−1 + urea (CHAR) and with urea only (CON); Exp B in the cabbage field with CHAR and CON treatments; and Exp C in the pepper field with CHAR, CON, and CHAR + DCD (dicyandiamide, nitrification inhibitor) treatments. In Exp A and C, cumulative N2O emissions significantly increased by 82.5% and 55.8% in the CHAR than CON treatments, respectively, while in Exp B, there was no difference in cumulative N2O emission between the CHAR and CON. Based on results from using nitrification inhibitor and soil % water filled pore space (WFPS), we assumed that the main N2O production mechanism was nitrification. Our results suggest that soil water status right after urea application is the primary determinant of different effects of biochar on N2O emission in addition to soil C status and biochar's adsorption. Principal component analysis using the 25 compiled data also supported our results. This study identified the specific field conditions under which biochar could have stimulating effects on N2O emission. Mitigation potential of biochar application should be reconsidered if biochar and urea were amended to dry soils with low C contents.

As a small business owner and entrepreneur, I don’t have to tell you the many challenges you face on a daily basis to keep your operation running smoothly. Often times you find yourself wearing multiple hats – even taking on tasks that you feel should be someone else’s responsibility, but of course even the smallest and most time-consuming duties can ultimately fall on your shoulders.
Since starting my company in 2000, I’ve experienced it all. There are ups and downs, good days and some you’d rather forget, but through it all I wouldn’t give any of it back because it’s made me the successful entrepreneur I am today.
If you’ve recently started a new business, are thinking about starting one or have been at it for many years like I have, here are ten tips that every entrepreneur should consider:
- Use technology. Consider a smartphone, SKYPE, tablet computer or programs that let you file/ share on the run. My days have me running around the city to meet with clients, and I couldn’t do my job without technology. In the instant information age, if you’re not up with the times, your competition is going to blow right by you.
- Hire outside experts as consultants. Don’t keep a heavy payroll which can increase operational costs; consider hiring a consultant for bookkeeping, social media, computer technology and graphic design. I watch as so many small business owners try to do it all themselves, and this ends up causing major aggravation and keeps them from focusing on their own jobs.
- Manage cash flow. Watch your income on a daily basis until you fully understand the revenue and expenses; make sure your bookkeeper is your partner and does not just tell you “everything is handled.” know how to review QuickBooks and feel free to ask questions, as it is your money.
- Delegate. Assign a task and don’t micromanage; allow your team to rise to the highest potential and if they cannot handle it, then take time to understand why or make a transition. Encourage team members to interact with one another and go to each other for help.
- Communicate. Make sure that you have conversations with your team on a regular basis that outline your goals, and ensure that you have buy-in and dialogue so your ideas are refined and can be executed efficiently without micro-management. Encouraging an open line of communications with team members is also vital to the success of your business. Your marketing person should be able to easily approach your technology person so the operation runs like a well-oiled machine.
- Organize. Have a plan, coordinate a schedule, ensure you know the budget and outline details before you start a project so that you can allocate your time properly. As bits and pieces of various projects start to take shape, make sure everything is in its place and that everyone knows where every item on every given project can be found. You don’t want a client calling with an important question, and your employees don’t know how to find the solution.
- Review email only 3 times a day. Do not make email redirect your day unless it is a crisis in progress. Check your email when you arrive at 9:00am, at noon and at 3pm and try to respond immediately to those things that are easy, while saving those items requiring more thought. Delete ads/spam immediately so it is not clogging up your mailbox and request to be removed from emails that are not important.
- Manage the supply closet. Until I put a lock on the cabinet, we were spending 3 times the amount for office supplies – and I learned later that some people were using our supplies for their home offices or school supplies. It is an easy cost center that can get away from you costing thousands of dollars annually.
- Manage your meetings and calls. Always give yourself a chance to breathe between calls or meetings – at least 15-30 minutes so that you can collect your thoughts and maintain a sharp focus. Try to make time for lunch every day. Even just 20 minutes away from the office can clear your mind and get you ready to focus on the second half of the day.
- Dress comfortably. For women, wear heels to meetings but feel comfortable wearing flats around the office most of the day, as your comfort may help maintain your focus. Consider a more business casual dress code as this will keep your employees more comfortable, and only require dressier attire when important clients are coming into the office.

Wachovia : Wachovia’s climbing, but Cramer recommended Homegamers scale out of the stock as it goes higher. He can’t get behind it.
Leapfrog :JAKKS and Mattel under $20 for the dividend are the only toy stocks Cramer will recommend.
Chesapeake : Cramer’s bullish on Chesapeake. He said investors should buy it on any pullback.
Onyx Pharma : Cramer has hoped ONXX would get bought out on the strength of its pipeline, but that never happened. Don’t buy, he said.
Westar Energy : Cramer loves the 5% dividend – and any company that can afford to pay one out. Westar’s a buy.
BB&T : Sell BBT. Too much bad debt for his tastes.
Yingli Green : Don’t buy. The stock’s already had a nice run.
Petroleo Brasileiro : PBR’s the kind of stock Cramer recommends buying during the downturns we’ve been experiencing. “That’s the best Brazilian stock.”
AutoNation : “I don’t like that business right here," Cramer said. "I think the economy is not strong enough.”
Dana Holding : “This economy’s not good enough” to own Dana, Cramer said.
Oracle : As much as Cramer said he likes ORCL, he prefers Salesforce.com. He admitted it’s a bit risky, though. Homegamers, be cautious.

by Her Future Research Fellow Richa Gupta
That technology has made our lives infinitely easier and miles more convenient is an indisputable fact; but with the good must come the bad—with the benefits must come the darkness. Technology is increasingly being employed and abused for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation, and is leaving behind a trail of trauma—with a seemingly invisible digital footprint.
One of the prime indicators of human trafficking and sexual exploitation is a lack of agency: essentially, the victim of such a dynamic doesn’t have the independence to engage in actions or conversations that are not approved by the trafficker. The presence of tracking and GPS capabilities on smartphones has exacerbated this issue—since traffickers can now keep perpetual tabs on the location of a victim’s phone (since they’ll presumably be within a certain radius of their phone). Technology has also streamlined the payment process—since carrying or travelling with sacks of cash can arouse suspicion, and leaves the carrier susceptible to attacks and muggings. Hence, traffickers often resort to using bitcoin as a method of payment—since it’s a quick, electronic form of payment, and is essentially untraceable. Hence, since technology allows money to move around with enormous speed and ease, it has become a powerful weapon for traffickers to exploit at their leisure. Other payment methods include credit cards, such as Vanilla cards and reloadable prepaid cards.
That said, the role of technology has taken yet more sinister turns—in the form of the darkweb. According to PoliceOne, this side of the internet enables “clandestine services and person sales”—whereas the well-known facets of the internet, such as social media and mobile apps, are used to identify, groom, and communicate with potential victims (many of whom are extremely vulnerable, and lack a robust support system). As extrapolated by a group of researchers at Microsoft Research, technology has transformed a number of dimensions that pertain to human trafficking, such as recruitment and abduction of victims (which was previously highlighted), retention of victims, money exchange and money laundering, underground partnerships and crime syndicates, and rehabilitation for survivors, among a host of others.
For instance, in the case of organized crime: since syndicates are borne from highly intertwined networks, the internet provides an accessible platform through which to exchange information and locations; moreover, there have even been cases of horrific videos being streamed, which people can pay to watch. A few years ago, Al Jazeera reported on a nauseating phenomenon that was taking form in India (particularly in the Northern states): “rape videos for sale”—in which footage of women being raped and brutalized could be “purchased” for under $3. And to make the scenario even more sickening, the identities of the women were often not protected—their faces and voices could be clearly seen and heard, which would result in further mockery, isolation, and ostracism from their existing social circles. The videos were typically used as tool for blackmail—so that the victims wouldn’t report the assault to the police or courts. In the words of Mangla Verma, a Delhi High Court lawyer (in response to these videos), “This is how patriarchy works”. The terror, humiliation, and trauma the victims face later must be inconceivable—I shudder to think of it.
Technology can also interrupt the rehabilitation and recovery process for victims who do eventually escape and seek help: since social media channels (as well as other platforms) can directly expose survivors to further threats, abuse, and cyber-bullying. And even if survivors deactivate or delete any accounts they have, technology can still be used to gain access to people in the victims’ proximity (such as family members, friends, partners, and therapists).
There is no doubt that technology has greatly altered the ecosystem of human trafficking—for better and for worse. Indeed, in the words of Jason Silva, a Venezuelan-American television personality and philosopher, “Technology is, of course, a double edged sword. Fire can cook our food but also burn us”. When wielded carefully and sensitively, technology can prove to be a blessing to trafficking victims, survivors, and social activists across the globe.
According to a group of researchers at Microsoft Research, visibility is critical to identifying both victims and perpetrators; and hence, it is up to technology companies to help streamline the identification process, and to take advantage of digital traces and electronic evidence when developing such identification procedures and algorithms. The value of electronic traces also extends into the prosecution of perpetrators: since the presence of data traces, online conversations, and search histories can be used as evidence when prosecuting a trafficker. Furthermore, as said by Kristen Abrams (the Senior Director of combatting human trafficking at the McCain Institute), technology can be further used to track patterns on the dark web, and to identify weak spots in the “supply chains to forced labor”.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is another exciting field in technology that can be leveraged to protect survivors and potential victims of human trafficking: by using speech tools and pattern recognition to siphon through the vast amounts of data that travel through the internet. Moreover, there are a number of apps and software packages that have been released to fight the rising rates of human trafficking: Spotlight, a tool developed by Thorn, takes the enormous amounts of online data on the commercial sex market—and converts it into an “asset for law enforcement”, with the noble objective of increasing the efficiency of trafficking investigations, and connecting more victims with help resources (such as psychological and financial services). In addition, PhotoDNA, a software package coded by Microsoft (in collaboration with Dartmouth College), helps locate and remove online photos of child exploitation. As of now, it cannot be used to pinpoint the identity of the person in the image—but can still play a powerful role in curbing the spread of child pornography.
Technology can also be crucial to raising awareness about human trafficking—for instance, in the form of Public Service Announcements (or PSAs). Such announcements can be instrumental in preventing vulnerable children from falling victim to traffickers and perpetrators. This also extends to general education and awareness initiatives—which includes television and online advertisements, movies and shows, and other smartphone applications. I’ve personally noticed that some of the most powerful campaigns for social issues were borne from a single television advertisement—which then blossomed into national (and even international) successes. For example, the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) operates a toll-free hotline that provides assistance and support to victims of human trafficking—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in over 200 languages! According to its website, a whopping 40,200 cases have been reported since December 2017, and they’ve received 170,430 calls since 2007!
In the words of David Wong, an American writer, “New technology is not good or evil in and of itself. It's all about how people choose to use it”. Technology can be dangerous, but it can also be life-saving. With the rise of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and pattern recognition (among a wealth of others), it’s crucial that these techniques are wielded by ethical, upstanding people. Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case; and hence, we should do all we can to support the nonprofits and companies that are harnessing technology to do social good. | <urn:uuid:ef94570a-bccd-46c2-9b73-ad3366187103> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://shop.herfuturecoalition.org/blogs/blog/the-role-of-tech-in-human-trafficking | 2023-09-24T23:43:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00720.warc.gz | en | 0.951285 | 1,525 |

From what I can find it's only for end of 00s business but the majority of imperial phase writers are contributing.
(at least in my mind) Stylus has an amazing reputation, when you stop to consider there are 10,000 other music webzines. I'm surprised they waited this long to get back into the game. Let's hope some mainman over there decides to keep it going.
the guy behind the site now runs Resident Advisor
Stylus was a strange one. It's one no one really talked about like pitfork et al but everyone has read. Or maybe they just reviewed the stuff I bought.
Very good writing in any case
There's a little more info in this thread: http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4201291
Todd Burns is indeed editor of Resident Advisor now, and the Stylus Decade reunion project thing is happening without his involvement; he did give us his blessing to go ahead, though.
It's just a load of us getting together for one last hurrah and to make a list.

ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE HISTORY, CULTURE, and ENVIRONMENTAL ADAPTATION
ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE HISTORYICAL BACKGROUND The Islamic world, with its vast geographical expansion and rich cultural history, has shaped a unique tangible and intangible heritage. This heritage has enriched human history with its scientific and artistic achievements, and contributed both within and outside of Islamic borders to the beginning of the modern time.
ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE HISTORYICAL BACKGROUND
The field of Islamic architecture is a key example of this rich inheritance. As a manifestation of Islamic civilization, architecture is a physical expression of the unity of Islamic ideals that respects and presents both societal and regional boundaries. This lecture introduces the history of Islamic cultures through their most materialistic signs: the ultimate Architecture that spanned for fourteen centuries and over three continents — Asia, Africa, and Europe. The lecture presents Islamic architecture both as a historical tradition and as a cultural means that influenced and was influenced by the civilizations with which it came in contact. From the Islamic West on the shores of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea to the Far East of Asia, architecture demonstrated the embodiment of Islamic values through the exploration of various forms and styles while stimulating the local and regional creative genius.
ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE Egypt from Alexander to the Islamic Conquest & Foundation of al- Fustat: • Alexandria: the Ptolemaic capital of Egypt, was a great center of Greek learning throughout Antiquity. It was famous for its Pharos (Light-tower), Royal Library, and (Museum) which was considered as a major research institution. • 332 B.C.: Alexander the Great of Macedonia conquered Egypt from the Persian and soon laid out the plans of Alexandria located on a natural harbor west of the Western branch of the Delta from which could be controlled the Mediterranean trade of the country. • Amru ibn al-`As: The Muslim army general and who conquered Egypt in 640-41. •Fustat: The first capital of Islamic Egypt established in 642 by `Amru ibn al-As around Babylon, the old Roman fortress on the eastern bank of the Nile and guarded the head of the Delta which was built by the end of the 1st century.
Umayyad , Abbasid and Tulunid Architecture (Fustat & al-Qata’i) Ibn Tulun moved the government to N.W of Fustat , created al-Qata i, a new urban development inspired by Samarra near Baghdad. The mosque of Ibn-Tulun: View of the mosque courtyard with 13th century fountain dome in the center & the mosque's famous spiraling minaret with same design concept of Samarra mosque in . . Minarets of Mosque of Ibn-Tulun and the Great Mosque of Samarra.
Fatimid Architecture Al Qahira ( CAIRO ) : The new royal city of Egypt established north of Fustat by the Fatimids upon their conquest of the country in 969. It had a regular plan running parallel to the Nile, with a main north-south main road.
Fatimid Architecture Monuments : The Fatimid History of al-Azhar Mosque 970: Jawhar al-Siqilli, the commander of the Fatimid army, lays its foundation. 972: First Friday prayer held at mosque. 988: First organized teaching at alAzhar, 35 scholars are house and paid by the Fatimid state. Characteristics of Fatimid mosques •The use of projected portals and domes over mihrabs for ceremonial purposes. •The use of keel-shaped arches in porticoes and arcades. •The wealth of fine stucco decoration. •The dependence on iconographic inscriptions, especially on the entrance facade
Fatimid Architecture Architectural terms: Qubba: Literally "dome", but the word often signified the mausoleum of an amir or a pious man, which was usually, but not always, a cubical structure covered with a dome. Mashhad: A complex term that means either a memorial for a shahid (witness of the greatness of God, but later exclusively meaning martyr) or a memorial for a true vision, which mostly involves the Prophet or member | <urn:uuid:6ddf9d47-3ada-4ceb-b24a-9d215b59e960> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://slidelegend.com/islamic-architecture_5a74aa601723ddae5864049a.html | 2021-11-30T15:35:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359037.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130141247-20211130171247-00517.warc.gz | en | 0.920653 | 896 |
People with spinal cord injuries could have a radical new treatment available to rebuild their spine, and help them walk again, inside the next decade.
Prof Pandit’s research group is aiming to construct a kind of biological scaffold that will link separated pieces of spinal, and reconnect them, using stem cells that are ‘told’ to grow into new spinal cord tissue.
There are many hurdles to overcome before such a treatment is available, but Prof Pandit believes it will happen, and, finally, there will be an effective treatment available to help people with spinal cord injury.
This will be great news to those affected by spinal cord injuries and their families.
According to Spinal Injuries Ireland, spinal cord injury affects, on average, one person per week in Ireland.
The majority of these injuries are sustained by people in the 18 to 35 age group, and 75 per cent of these do not return to work after their injury.
Click on the link below to hear an interview with Prof Pandit, explaining the science behind what is planned over the next few years, and Martin Codyre, a 34-year-old Irish engineer with a spinal cord injury.

Britain is poorly placed for views of the astronomical highlight of 2012, but the situation is not hopeless. To see the whole of the transit of Venus across the Sun's disc on June 5-6, though, it is not too late to travel eastwards, perhaps to areas around the W Pacific. If we are quick enough, we could even take in the annular eclipse of the Sun which begins over E China and Hong Kong next Monday morning, local time, and ends (after crossing the date line) on Sunday evening over the SW USA.
Venus is an outstanding evening star to the N of W at nightfall tonight, its altitude at sunset falling to 15° by the 22nd when it stands above the slimmest of young moons. We probably lose it in the twilight a week later and after another week its inky black disc crosses the N part of the Sun as shown by our diagram.
Seen from the direction of the Earth's centre, Venus first touches the Sun's NE limb at 23:10 BST on 5 June, is farthest on to the disc at 02:30 on the 6th and finally leaves the WNW limb at 05:49. In fact, these times vary by up to 6 minutes depending on our location on the Earth; as seen from much of Britain, for example, Venus does not disappear from the Sun until 05:55.
Britain's problem is that most of the transit occurs before the Sun rises above our NE horizon. For example, sunrise for London, Cardiff and Belfast occurs at 04:45, 04:58 and 04:51 respectively. Scotland, particularly N and E Scotland, fares better, with sunrise for Edinburgh coming at 04:30. As the transit ends, the Sun stands 8° high as seen from London and 9° high for Edinburgh.
Even though the Sun is low in the sky, serious eye damage is likely if we look directly at it through a telescope or binoculars. Instead, project the Sun's image through the eyepiece on to a white card or obtain an approved solar filter to block the Sun's heat and intense light before it enters the optics.
The fact that the time of a transit varies worldwide was of major interest during the 18th and 19th centuries, for exact timings could be used to triangulate the distance to Venus, and hence the scale of our solar system. Expeditions to far-off locations to secure observations included the first voyage by James Cook who timed the transit of 1769 from Tahiti.
Part of the romance of such events is their rarity; there have been only three transits since Cook's venture, those of 1874, 1882 and 2004. Britain, at least those parts without too much cloud, witnessed the whole of the 2004 event but we need to wait until 2247 for an equally-favourable one. Before then there are transits in 2117, which occurs in the middle of a winter's night for Britain, and 2125 when the Sun sets at about mid-transit. | <urn:uuid:64657e19-286b-4500-b7e6-927a0d94a26c> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.theguardian.com/science/2012/may/13/starwatch-venus-transit-sun-planets | 2014-10-31T05:38:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637898978.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025818-00224-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956999 | 621 |

I cover disruptive innovators reinventing healthcare.
A significant group of women are re-entering the workforce and reshaping how products are made across key tech sectors like health & wellness, commerce and social products. Not only do they have the experience of raising families, but they were business and technology leaders earlier in life. They’re becoming founders and leaders at startups and in the very companies they’ve been buying products and services from. With Rock Health (a healthtech startup incubator) kicking off XX in Health Week today, I thought it timely to share an advantage health startups have over entrenched companies.
Not only do women make most of a family’s health decisions but 48% of graduating physicians are women and women make up 73% of medical and health services managers. As a healthtech startup focused on patient engagement, we think heavily about the importance of what I call the Family Chief Health & Wellness Officer (aka “Mom”). Avado is not unlike many startups in that we have two male co-founders. We’d be remiss to not figure out ways to bring the female perspective into our business.
A self-funded startup such as Avado has many challenges. At the same time, we have advantages over traditional companies. Let me share one key advantage related to this topic. It may be one of the biggest untapped reservoirs of talent out there while many of us are battling for the best talent. The beauty of startups is results matter much more than rigid hiring practices. Lumbering old companies often have rules that preclude a huge category of the potential workforce from being tapped. It’s a category that I’m familiar with as my wife was previously a marketer at Apple and Microsoft, yet it’s likely neither would hire her right now as her time commitment with our kids during the day doesn’t allow her to show up during a normal work hours. However, we get the benefit because she is able to help us with our marketing in the windows of time she has.
Another thing stuck-in-the-mud employers do is look at gaps in “normal” employment as a big drawback. Let me give you an example of a new member of our team that we are absolutely thrilled to have on board. Julie Braman is our Managing Director of Innovation for Pharmaceutics and Biotech. Julie and I worked together when I was running Microsoft’s health business and she was the founder of another industry business – pharmaceutics. Julie chose to stay at home while her kids were growing up. As I know with my wife, that hardly means one’s brain shuts down. Rather, it brings an entirely new perspective the business can benefit from. In fact, perhaps the most important trend in healthcare and the focus of the recently rolled out Stage 2 of Meaningful Use (the portion of the federal stimulus to drive electronic health record adoption) is “Patient Engagement.” As a member of the “sandwich generation,” many former professionals turned stay-at-home moms not only have had responsibility for their children but many are also increasingly responsible for their parents’ health. This gives them an invaluable perspective. Since patient engagement is our central focus, the perspective of a boomer female head of household is invaluable.
Having Julie join the team is a real win-win. She is able to jump back into a very meaty job without skipping a beat. For Avado, it’s a no-brainer. Julie was one of the pioneers in bringing pharmacists into active engagement in primary care practices while she was a practicing pharmacist at Group Health — this is a rapidly growing trend with the shortage of primary care physicians. Julie was also in Sales with pharma giant, Eli Lilly, so she understands that perspective as well. As Life Sciences has proven to be fertile ground for Avado, I couldn’t think of a better fit and I couldn’t care less that she’s been “out of the workforce.”
Julie is far from unique. Fred Wilson, Brad Feld and others have written about the lack of women in startups yet there is a group of tech veterans re-entering the workforce that are an untapped reservoir. While many of my female colleagues continued working full-time, there are a boatload of them who either worked part time or were full-time family Chief Health & Wellness Officers. Their kids have grown up and they are ready to fully re-engage with the workforce. They worked for the defining companies of the 90′s such as Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, Sun and others that were the Facebooks and Googles of their time. In other words, they were the cream of the crop then and they are the cream of the crop now if a company wants to have a broad view. We feel lucky have them join our team and think other healthtech startups would be just as lucky if they tap this untapped reservoir of talent. | <urn:uuid:11155e77-7616-4706-977c-ba200fd43b28> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.forbes.com/sites/davechase/2012/07/30/sandwich-generation-women-give-healthtech-startups-edge/ | 2013-05-25T00:38:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368705305291/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516115505-00061-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980268 | 1,038 |
i liked that video and hope you did too. i had 2 e-mails this week about twitter celebs. basically real guys who post photos of themselves shirtless and sometimes pantless online. kira and brandi e-mailed and asked me if i ever had fantasies about any of those men?
not really. i can take a model doing a video like the 1 above. but a person who basically put their life online? i don't know that i want to live with that kind of attention. i'd - even in a fantasy - worry that he'd be posting our whole life. i do like some privacy, you know?
i'm a fairly open person, but i do like some privacy.
it's a different world, though, i know that.
let's close with c.i.'s 'Iraq snapshot:'
Friday, March 26, 2021. Migh the AMUF be repealed and would that end the Iraq War? Joe Biden finally gives a press briefing, Moqtada al-Sadr offers to disarm others, and much more.
Andrew Desiderio (POLITICO) reports:
The House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday advanced a measure to repeal a nearly two-decade-old authorization for the use of military force in Iraq, lawmakers’ first effort to claw back their war-making powers under President Joe Biden.
The panel’s action, which sailed through with support from Democrats and Republicans alike, scraps the 2002 authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) against Iraq, which at the time was led by Saddam Hussein. A similar push is already underway in the Senate, where Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Todd Young (R-Ind.) have proposed repealing the 2002 AUMF, in addition to a 1991 measure that also authorized military force in Iraq during the first Gulf War.
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), the committee’s chair, said the outdated authorizations serve no operational purpose and argued that existing threats can be addressed by the 2001 authorization, which dealt with terrorist groups in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.“There are continuing threats from Iranian-backed militants. There are threats from ISIS and al Qaeda. That said, the 2002 AUMF doesn’t help us deal with any of these threats,” Meeks said. “Our forces would stay under Iraq under the 2001 AUMF, and the president can always defend America and our forces under Article II [of the U.S. Constitution].”
So even the repeal of the AUMF, if it happened, wouldn't end the continued occupation of Iraq by US troops. SPUTNIK notes:
The 2002 Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Iraq (AUMF), passed in October of that year, made the forthcoming US invasion of Iraq in March 2003 legal under US law. It built on the AUMF that was passed in 2001, in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda that killed 3,000 people. The 2002 law further extended the principle of pre-emptive strike that was at the heart of then-US President George W. Bush’s military doctrine that became the US War on Terror.
However, while a couple of Republicans sided with their Democratic colleagues in voting for the resolution, some said it was too soon to shred the 2002 AUMF, since a replacement for the 2001 AUMF hasn’t been implemented yet.
“Real AUMF reform requires Congress and the administration working together on actual text to replace the aging 2001 and 2002 AUMFs to provide authorities needed to keep the American people, and, most importantly, our deployed troops, safe from terrorists,” said Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), the leading Republican on the committee.
REUTERS adds, "The U.S. Constitution gives the power to declare war to Congress. However, that authority has gradually shifted to the president as Congress passed AUMFs that did not expire – such as the 2002 Iraq measure, as well as one that allowed the fight against al Qaeda in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks." The authority has shifted by custom, not by law. By law, only Congress has the right to declare war. By refusing to hold that power, they have allowed the executive branch to use it and courts can recognize custom.
Meanwhile, a parade took place in Baghdad yesterday. David M. Witty Tweets:
PRESS TV adds, "On Thursday, a number of armed Iraqi groups took to the streets of the capital Baghdad in a show of force, demanding the expulsion of all foreign forces from Iraq." Staying with the topic of militias, Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr is back in the news. Also covering the parade, MEMO notes:
An armed Iraqi militia yesterday threatened to target US forces and their agents in the country, Anadolu news agency reported.
The Rab'Allah militia made the threat during a military parade with weapons in the streets of the capital, Baghdad.
"The Iraqi people are living in the darkness of the brutal American occupation and a complicit and puppet government," the movement said in a statement, adding that its fighters have travelled across the capital "in a threatening message to the Americans and their agents".
The movement published photos of its fighters riding in pickups and carrying machine guns and RPGs in Baghdad.
These militias are now part of the government forces and Mustafa al-Khadimi has become the second prime minister in a row who, despite officially being over these forces, cannot control the militias. ARAB WEEKLY reports:
Iraqi Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr is increasingly wanting to appear as a statesman while his political ambitions to hold the reins of the executive authority in the country are growing.
Earlier in February, the populist Shia cleric said he backed early elections overseen by the UN, in a rare news conference outside his home in the Iraqi shrine city of Najaf.
Iraq is meant to hold earlier parliamentary elections this year, a central demand of an anti-government protest movement which erupted in 2019 and involved Sadr’s supporters.
The elections will be taking place under a new electoral law that has reduced the size of constituencies and eliminated list-based voting in favour of votes for individual candidates.
Sadr’s supporters are expected to make major gains under the new system.
In November, Sadr said he would push for the next prime minister to be a member of his movement for the first time.
With eyes on the executive authority, the Shia cleric has been calling recently for control of the weapons’ chaos in the country so as to curb attacks by armed factions on foreign forces, their supply convoys and the headquarters of the US embassy in Baghdad.
Sadr’s calls come even though the Shia cleric himself is at the head of the most powerful militias in Iraq, the Peace Brigades, which are seen as a heir to the Mahdi Army militia that had previously led an offensive against government forces under the rule of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
The Mahdi Army was 'disbanded' in 2018. Ir was active again by January 2020. Mostada was once a movement leader with even some of his harshest critics hailing him as the potential healer of Iraq. That was 2018. But Shi'ites began turning on him in 2020 as he went from supporting the protests to opposing them to supporting them again to attacking them. His ambition apparently was too much for him to control, let alone conceal.
This ambition is at the heart of his proposal to disarm other militias. Others. Not his own. It would give him a leg up that might make up for some of the popular support he has lost since early 2020.
Joe Biden has a lot of ambition as well and look where it's led him -- he's not just President of the United States, he's Joe Bomber, destroying Iraq. Chad Garland (STARS AND STRIPES) reports:
The U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State has conducted more airstrikes in Iraq this month than it did all of last year, destroying scores of enemy positions and killing dozens of terrorists.
Coalition jets carried out over 150 strikes against ISIS fighters in the mountains south of Mosul this month, U.S. and Iraqi military officials said earlier this week. An analysis of previous coalition strike data shows fewer than 120 airstrikes were carried out against ISIS in Iraq all of last year.
Including Iraqi air force and army aviation operations, a total of 312 airstrikes have destroyed 120 enemy positions and killed 27 terrorists, Col. Wayne Marotto, a spokesman for the military coalition, said in a tweet Wednesday.
Maybe Joe does have a 'plan' for ending the Iraq War? End Iraq itself by bombing it out of existence?
Biden Bluster was on display yesterday as Joe finally held a press briefing -- his first since being sworn in as president. Ted Rall Tweets:
Joe used a lot of words to say very little -- certainly nothing worth applauding. Patrick Martin (WSWS) observes, "Biden pronounced on a number of other topics, ranging from the filibuster (he is not yet prepared to overturn it), to Afghanistan (he said the US would not meet a May 1 withdrawal deadline but would be gone by the end of the year), to his expectations for the 2024 election (he said he and Harris would run for reelection, but was unsure what his opposition would be, or if the Republican Party would even exist) to North Korea (he said that it was the most serious foreign policy issue facing the United States)."
Former US House Rep Justin Amash Tweets:
I'm seeing nothing at ANTIWAR.COM and I checked the US Green Party's feed for some form of critique. Guess everyone was busy? Or maybe Biden just bores everyone into slumber? THE KATIE HALPER SHOW did cover the press briefing.

The magazine is about a multiplicity of different facades. Shells, masks or other phenomena which are dealing with the the- me are included, too. The contained texts are also about the theme and they give an insight to the different facts. The texts are shown in various languages because foreign scripts can make contens unreadable or distorted.
Beside these non-fictional texts there are poems of Johanna Herschlein and friends revealed their facade to us. Moreover there are three photo series inside. The first pho- to series shows house facades which hide their inside. The second represents portraits covered by masks and the last photo series shows a man who drop down all his outer facades to show the true nature of his body.

Recent polling data released by Stop the Violence BC overwhelmingly demonstrates that lawmakers lag far behind public opinion when it comes to revamping marijuana laws in BC.
- A mere 12% of British Columbians support keeping current marijuana laws in place
- 81% of British Columbians are concerned about increasing gang violence in BC
- 87% of British Columbians attribute gang violence to drug trafficking groups fighting over profits from the illegal marijuana trade
- 69% state that arresting marijuana producers and sellers is ineffective, and that BC would be better off taxing and regulating the use of marijuana
- More than 75% reject the notion that possession of marijuana should lead to a criminal record
- Only 39% of British Columbians support instituting mandatory minimum prison sentences for marijuana-trade related crime, including possession of six or more marijuana plants.
[quote style=”boxed”]“These results reveal that British Columbians are clearly dissatisfied with the status quo and recognize the unintended harmful consequences of marijuana prohibition in terms of promoting organized crime and violence,” said Mario Canseco, Vice President, Angus Reid Public Opinion. “The majority of British Columbians are ready for new regulations related to marijuana use and possession, and reject the notion that tough-on-crime measures will be effective.”[/quote]

SINGAPORE - A 90 per cent-owned unit of Rex International will divest its 20 per cent participating interest in the Barents Sea licence PL850 to an external third party, as part of a bid by the oilfield services firm to focus on its core assets and areas close to infrastructure in the Norwegian North Sea.
The sale, to be effective from Jan 1, 2018, is pending regulatory approval.
"We are pushing ahead to execute our strategy to focus on our core assets. This housekeeping in Norway is timely, following our divestment of our non-core interests in Trinidad & Tobago last week," said Dan Broström, executive chairman of Rex International Holding.
Rex International had announced last Monday it has completed its divestment of a 25.72 per cent indirect holdings in Steeldrum Oil Company Inc in Trinidad & Tobago.
The unit, oil and gas exploration company Lime Petroleum AS, will focus on its core assets in the North Sea that already have infrastructure for oil production that allow for fast-tracked potential commercialisation of discoveries, namely those located on or close to the Utsira High, adjacent to the giant Johan Sverdrup field and the producing Edvard Grieg and Ivar Aasen oil fields.
"Our key target remains to bring our discovery assets to production in Oman and Norway in 2019 and 2020 respectively," Mr Broström said.
The divestment is not expected to have any material financial impact on the group's earnings per share or net tangible assets per share for the current financial year ending Dec 31, 2018.
Separately, Rex International said on Monday that that the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Oct 11 ordered the winding-up of HiRex, a jointly controlled entitly between Rex SEA, OHSB, Triax Ventures Corp and Ainul Azhar bin Ainul Jamal.
But the court has reserved the decision on the appointment of a private liquidator to Oct 30 this year.
On Aug 28, its stock shot up 52.5 per cent, or up 2.1 cents at 6.1 cents at the close, the day after the company announced the drilling and production testing of the Rolvsnes well - in which Lime Petroleum AS holds a 30 per cent interest - was completed.
A test well drilled in the permit, PL338C, confirmed "sustainable commercial oil flow", with production rate of up to 7,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), with a sustainable flow rate of nearly 4,500 bopd. Rex International said that the next step towards commercialisation is to tie the well to the adjacent producing Edvard Grieg platform.

Best Android Apps For Productivity
In addition to encrypted messaging, in 2018 Wickr announced that its “Me” service will also offer encrypted calling and voice messaging . Chatting with a large number of people at one time also makes it difficult to ensure that conversations are appropriate. Kids will likely need to be reminded that they should be mindful about what they say and how they participate in group chats as they can easily become a participant or victim in cyberbullying. Parents and teens should know that the app did create the Ask.fm Safety Center in 2014 with resources available in order to combat the negative and toxic environment that was growing within the platform. What many teens fail to remember is that even though these are self-destructing, receivers are able to take screenshots of what they are sent. Snapchat will notify you if someone takes a screenshot of a photo or video you’ve sent them, but there is no way to prevent them from disseminating this to others. These screenshots can act as potentially devastating fuel for cyberbullying, should your teen mistakenly share too much about themselves or someone else.

Because gauging whether or not your mechanics are sound and polished is a much more objective thing to measure, and it’s also something you could potentially borrow wholesale from other games. Whether or not something is scary, however, is much more subjective, so gauging whether or not a sequence or scare will be scary for a wide audience is much harder. | <urn:uuid:a0f17589-c855-46ea-9f4a-eae24e5959bc> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.yoboglobal.com/category/apk-files-downloads/ | 2021-07-31T18:24:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154099.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20210731172305-20210731202305-00381.warc.gz | en | 0.943988 | 646 |

UNEP Launches Global Marine Litter Partnership
19 June 2012: In an effort to tackle the damage caused by marine litter on the environment, livelihoods and human health, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) launched the Global Partnership on Marine Litter on the sidelines of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20).
According to UNEP, the Government of the Netherlands, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Plastics Pollution Coalition and a number of UN agencies, signalled their support for the initiative. The Partnership builds on the Honolulu Strategy, a global framework for tackling marine litter backed by governments, members of the plastics industry, scientists, and others, presented at the Fifth International Marine Debris Conference in 2011.
UNEP indicates that the Partnership will act as a coordinating forum, bringing together diverse actors, and encouraging collaboration between governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), scientists and academics to collaborate. UNEP will also host an online forum allowing Partnership members to share information and lessons learned on marine litter.
Objectives of the Partnership are to: reduce the ecological, human health, and economic impacts of marine litter worldwide; enhance international cooperation through the promotion and implementation of the Honolulu Strategy; promote resource efficiency and economic development through waste prevention and recovering valuable materials from waste; and increase awareness on the sources and impacts of marine litter.

If you’re not from Mexico or the US southwest, chances are you don’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo. If you do, it’s a great reason to celebrate and have a party! Now’s the time to roll out your best margarita recipe, and definitely your favorite salsa. Looking for a few more ideas? I’ve got you covered.
You gotta have drinks at your Cinco de Mayo parties. My honeyed peach aguas frescas or cherry-lime aguas frescas are light and fruity kid-friendly drinks that’ll go well with any spread of party food. Want something a little more adult? Try this pineapple-jalapeño sparking soda! It’s fruity and it’s got a pretty good amount of heat. Add some tequila, what will it hurt?
Need some snacky things to serve to your party guests? Some mini taco salad cups should fit the bill. They’re small, but super full of flavor! If taco night was your favorite night as a kid, you’ll devour these little guys.
For a main course, make a whole pile of these chicken + potato empanadas. What’s better than flaky crust full of juicy chicken, potatoes, cheddar, green chiles and red bell pepper? Not a whole heck of a lot. If a salad is more your jam, make a big bowl of this tex-mex salad with chicken, roasted corn, pumpkin seeds, black beans, bell pepper, tomatoes, crushed tortilla chips and a creamy salsa dressing over fresh romaine lettuce. Your more health-conscious friends will thank you! If healthy isn’t necessarily on your radar, then these rich and tasty roasted carnitas sandwiches should make you all sorts of happy. Slow-roasted pork is crisped up under the broiler and served on fluffy rolls with quick pickled red onions, sweet pineapple, avocado, smashed black beans and a spicy, creamy sauce. Hopefully you’ll do the right thing and serve those sandwiches with a big helping of tortilla chips. It’s just the right thing to do.
Want some dessert after all that food and drink? Pumpkin empanadas, with a sweet and spicy filling packed inside a flaky crust, should serve you well.
All these recipes should make for quite the delicious party. Whatever you decide to serve, keep it a happy and safe celebration! | <urn:uuid:df2c4168-74de-4033-9082-b9e6eb24fa0d> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://ovenandapron.com/2014/05/02/cinco-de-mayo/ | 2021-04-20T14:03:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039398307.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20210420122023-20210420152023-00050.warc.gz | en | 0.855568 | 515 |

West Norfolk Sportswoman of the year, Gaye Clarke, was in her last indoor championships as a W50 in the European Masters Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland.
She had to work harder and dig deeper than ever as it is always harder to medal at the top end of the age group, so the Ryston Runner was pleased to pick up bronze in the 60m hurdles in a closely contested race.
She also placed 6th in the high jump and 7th in the Long Jump.
Indoors also was 12-year-old Charlie Wakefield who came second in the U13 Boys’ 800m at the Lee Valley open meeting with a PB time of 2:29. This ranks him number 1 in the eastern region and 19th in the UK for this event so far this year.
The last event in the 2014-15 series of the popular Ryston Runners Cross Country Grand Prix had depleted numbers due to two major road races being on the same day, but there was plenty of competition, especially with the overall series honours at stake.
By far the most hotly contested age group was the U9s, with a combined field of 81 youngsters taking part. Many Ryston members were actually competing for their schools, but Archie Mitchell (17th), George Evans (22nd) and Harvey Judd (23rd) wore their Hares on their chests.
Charlie Wakefield won the U13 Boys’ category, while Kit Howlett took third in the U11 race, positions they also claimed in the overall series. Annie Rooks and Alysha Cain made neat work of the 1-2 in the U17 Girls, with just a minute separating them. Unsurprisingly, these two also cleaned up on the series in this category.
Other Ryston Juniors in action on the day included: Harry Wakefield (4th), Liam Clare (10th) and Henry Overton (14th) in the U11B; Izzy Sandover (5th), Bea Honeybone (10th), Lily Teasdale (11th) and Suki Wales (13th) in the U11G; Bailey Took (5th) U13B; Thea Howlett (4th) and Saffron Teasdale (9th) U13G; Georgia Sandover (6th), Gabrielle Clare (7th) and Isabel Overton (8th) U15G.
In the Senior Men’s race James O’Neill in a rare appearance claimed second place ahead of clubmate Callum Stanforth in third. The overall series winner of this category, Chris Balmer, had to be content with 4th. Marcus Hawkins and Marie French neatly won their categories on the day and in the series overall ( M40 and SW respectively).
Other on the day wins by members were achieved by Karen Smith (W45 – second in series overall) and Sine Cain (W55, third in series) who led home Liz Blakie (second).
Kelly De-Gol and Emma Thompson were second and third in the W35 race, finishing first and third in the series.
Linda Marshall was second in the W50 race,but had done enough in the W45 category before having her significant birthday to win that series prize.
Kevin Howlett (M55) was the only other Ryston top three category finisher on the day, in second place, and third in the series overall. Karen Wood was outside the individual prizes on the day (5th) but nailed second W50 in the series.
Several club members’ names featured in the series honours despite their absence from this particular fixture.
They were: SW third Heather Beattie; M45 1st Nic Bensley, third Martin Ive; M50 1st Malcolm Tuff; W55 ( a clean Ryston sweep) 1st Maureen Wolfe, second Jill Davis, third Sine Cain.
Other on the day places, SM: 5 Justin Kinsey, 6 Andrew Smith, 14 Richard Watson, 16 Gareth Hunt, 18 Ian Hogarth, 19 Kevin Smith. SW: 4 Lorena Latisaite. W35: 4 Liz Simmonds. M40: 5 Will Honeybone. W40: 5 Julie Wacey. M45: 4 Stewart Robins, 7 David Marston, 9 Andy Smith. W45: 4 Helen Reed. M50: 4 David Lane, 5 Kevin Taylor, 7 Simon Tarling. W50: 4 Sarah Taylor, 9 Sue Smith. M55: 4 Chris Chapman, 5 Christopher Milnes. W55: 5 Gill Hart. M60: 6 Paul Firmage, 10 John Plowright.
Matt Pyatt opted for back-to-back weekend action by going to the Thorney 10K, which he won in 33:56. Marcus Hawkins (15th; 38:40) won the M40 category, and Helen Sewell, after a long competitive lay-off, took the honours in the W65 age group.
Callum Stanforth opted for the Coltishall Jaguars Mad March Hare 10K at Frettenham where he achieved a very pleasing PB time of 34:29 for second place overall.
At the Athletics Norfolk annual awards evening, Ed Borrmann was joint recipient of the Senior Men’s Field Athlete of the Year Award, in recognition of his achievements in Pole Vault last year – even though he was competing all season in the U20 category. | <urn:uuid:09580a2a-757e-45d9-bc47-8af9c219c5af> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.lynnnews.co.uk/news/ryston-runner-clarke-picks-up-european-masters-bronze-medal-1-6672111 | 2017-10-24T00:38:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187827662.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023235958-20171024015958-00415.warc.gz | en | 0.96003 | 1,127 |
Summer in Malmö
Malmö has become alive again and the fields are about to bloom, which means that we enter the high season at the hotels in Malmö. From May to September we have a lot of visitors both returning and new guests. We want to show off Malmö as the lovely city as it is, because it is a fantastic city and especially during the summer time. Feel the sea breeze where you are in the city and if you feel like a dip in the blue with a view of Copenhagen, this city offers a long beach just 25 minutes’ walk from Moment Hotels or the city center.
Other lovely summer idylls in the city that we can recommend you to visit:
- Folkets Park (pictured above) here they arrange various entertainment during the summer.
- Small square (Lilla torg) with lovely outdoor seating at bars and restaurants that you can enjoy all night long.
- The canal boats, super cozy to discover the city through.
- Ribban Beach, at Ribban you will find the beach with some activities like mini golf.
- Vanna Beach, bar on the beach in the western harbor.
- The Pildammsparken, nice wildlife with birds and they have an outdoor gym to enjoy for free.
- Italian ice-cream in the western harbor while watching Turning Torso.
At Moment Hotels we like to take the environmentally friendly option the bicycle around the city. Did you know that Malmö has a lot of good cycle paths that you can step on without danger of the traffic?
Did you know that Malmö also is called little Barcelona? There is something in it because the beach and the center are so close together.
We at Moment are happy to give you tips on what to visit during your holiday or during your vacant hours from the conference!
The tomatoes are planted on the terrace and the bikes serviced so now we hope for hot summer days and nice summer nights.
Make a smart choice and stay cheaper and spend more on the fun things that the city has to offer! =)
We look forward to see you in the summer time at Moment.

Several months ago, an employee left my firm to launch her own design business. I recently discovered that not only has she taken images of my work and called them her own, she has also lifted most of the text on my website, including my services page, almost word for word. I am beyond upset—especially now that clients have seen their images on her website and are asking me for an explanation. What do I do?
Dear Copied Cat,
First, I know how frustrated you must feel. You have worked so hard to build your name and portfolio. Having someone take your work as their own is incredibly violating.
It is possible to protect yourself, but it is likely messy and expensive. You can certainly hire a lawyer to stop her from taking your work. That said, the legal expense will be significant, especially if she decides to fight you, and what looks like a slam dunk case may not, in fact, be as easy to win as you might expect. Depending on how (un)specific your copy is, you may or may not be able to protect your content. As for the images, your agreement with your photographer (and their willingness to protect their image from use by your former employee) will determine whether or not you can force your former employee to take down the photos of your work. In addition, while architects can protect their designs with a formal copyright filing, it is not so easy for interior designers to obtain similar protection. (That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try, but I’m guessing you did not here.)
On top of the expense of legal action, there is always the chance that you will be seen as a bully or just sour grapes at having your former employee go out on her own. You might be seen as the aggressor rather than the victim should you decide to sue her to protect your work.
So here is a radical thought: Go the other way. Celebrate the fact that your former employee has taken your work as her own. Acknowledge her role in the project while making it clear that she was under your direction and tutelage. Take credit for the fact that you are the master designer here and that she is, as yet, the underling. Set your frustration and hurt aside and simply take credit for what you have created by owning the story as yours. You do not do that by saying, “Hey, that is mine!” but rather by saying “I really enjoyed designing this project. Your help in drafting (or purchasing, or managing) was wonderful in bringing my design to life.”
As for co-opting your text and your services, that will be a bigger challenge if you have not yet made your process iconic—a process as unique to you as a fingerprint. If you have taken those steps in building your business, copying your “one thing” is the very definition of derivative and is not likely to be effective for your former employee unless she aims to be your clone. Imagine, for example, that harnessing the intricacies of color is what defines you most as a designer. Perhaps you have an hour-long “color primer” as part of your process with clients, along with a specific color presentation. Oh, and you get paid for this work specifically, both in dollars and decisions, getting approval for the color story first before anything else. Your website talks about the importance of color and how you have built your entire business around it. If your business is similarly singular, simply copying and pasting will not prove fruitful.
If, on the other hand, your website focuses on how much you appreciate the beauty of design and your love of creating wonderful environments, then goes on to say how easy it is to work with your firm—sorry to say, it’s a lot easier to replicate with success. Here’s a good rule of thumb: If the opposite of what you say cannot be true—you would not, for example, talk about your love of ugly design or your firm’s terrible service—then your messaging has only told me what has to be true of all designers, and therefore nothing about you, your art or your design business. If this is where you find yourself with your former employee, consider her plagiarism a wake-up call to do better.
Today, you are not allowed to hide behind platitudes and colloquialisms. Your design business must strive to be iconic, and to talk to the smallest viable audience—the one that deeply cares about the why, what and how of your design. If you can get there, you will be in a category of one—and a category of one has no room for pretenders, no matter how much they try to steal from you.

Marcel Kittel was an unstoppable force in the bunch sprints in 2013, powering to 16 wins on the season, including a breakout four stage victories in the Tour de France.
So what’s next for the German sprint ace? To do it all again, of course.
“It’s already a very good performance to win stages at the Tour. The next step is to confirm, to win again against the benchmark sprinters in the bunch,” Argos team manager Iwan Spekenbrink told VeloNews. “To confirm again those victories is a nice goal.”
The 6-foot-2 German surprised many with his stellar Tour performance in July.
Not only did Kittel (Argos-Shimano) take it to top sprinters Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) and André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol), but he also made it over the Alps to win the season’s most prestigious sprint on the Champs-Élysées.
That final victory put an exclamation point on a tremendous Tour performance that included a spell in yellow and catapulted Kittel into the elite of the sprinter’s ranks.
There was mounting pressure on Kittel to deliver in this year’s Tour, especially following his early abandon in his 2012 debut. Already one of the best young sprinters in the bunch, with a confidence-boosting stage win in the 2011 Vuelta a España, Kittel pulled out in the first week a year ago with a bad stomach. He still needed to win at the Tour to demonstrate his worth.
With four stage victories in July, Kittel proved to everyone he deserves to be ranked alongside Cavendish and Greipel as the top finishers in the peloton right now.
For 2014, Argos will return with a singular focus of riding for Kittel in all the major sprints, be it in stage races or in one-day races on favorable terrain.
“It’s not easy to beat Cavendish and Greipel. He’s done it before, but to do it this year at the Tour, when everyone was in their best condition, that was a big step,” Spekenbrink continued. “Right now, focusing on the sprints is the best task. Those two guys are still the favorites. It’s a nice challenge for Marcel.”
Reloading the Argos sprint train
Doing it all again is easier said than done.
Cavendish and Greipel have already confirmed their status as top sprinters, and each has an experienced and well-drilled sprint train to back him up.
Both of those riders have also learned what it’s like to win big races, and then come back the following season to do it again.
A sprinter is only as good as his last sprint, so repeating the feat is just as hard as winning the first time — perhaps even harder with the attention of the peloton and fans.
Argos, too, has an ever-improving train, and the team did a great job protecting Kittel and then guiding him through the chaos of the sprint finales to be in position to win this summer. Final leadout man Tom Veelers was superb piloting Kittel in the frenetic final meters before unleashing the sprint.
“We’ve already done a lot of work on the train even before this season. When Marcel came to the team in 2011, we were already building a sprint train,” Spekenbrink explained. “We work on the rotations and the positions. Everyone knows their role on the team. When it’s a flat stage, everyone rides for Marcel.”
Before the 2013 Tour, the team headed to the Circuit Zandvoort racetrack to train specifically for the high-speed sprint finishes at the race. That work paid off, but the team will have to continue these efforts if it hopes to match Kittel’s race-best haul.
Focusing on the sprints
With the arrival of a new title sponsor for 2014, the team’s future is assured through 2016. Spekenbrink already has Kittel and fellow German sprinter John Degenkolb locked up for three more years. Veelers will be back, too, assuring Kittel the same support as he pedals into 2014.
For the short term, Argos is remaining focused on the sprints, expanding into the classics, and hunting for stages. There’s no talk of signing a big-time GC rider to carry team colors in the grand tours.
“We prefer to keep doing what we do well, and to develop young riders,” said Spekenbrink. “We have some young riders who could some day grow into GC contenders. A rider like Warren [Barguil], he’s already done very good, winning two stages at the Vuelta a España this year. But he’s not ready to race for the podium in a grand tour. And we do not want to just sign some big rider. We want to build up our own riders, and that takes time.”
That means that the central focus in 2014 will remain on the sprints.
Room for Kittel and Degenkolb
Spekenbrink downplayed a potential conflict between Kittel and compatriot sprinter Degenkolb.
The Germans have been ripping up the sprints over the past few seasons, helping a resurgence of cycling in scandal-torn Germany. In fact, Degenkolb has won more grand tour stages than Kittel, with five Vuelta stages in the 2012 edition, and a stage in the 2013 Giro d’Italia.
With some close calls, a stage win at the Tour for Degenkolb seems only a matter of time, particularly with more sprints in the tours edging toward the uphill variety. With a different makeup, there appears no reason Degenkolb can’t achieve that milestone alongside Kittel at Argos.
“Degenkolb is not a pure sprinter like Kittel, but he is very good on harder stages, when they are climbs or an uphill finish,” Spekenbrink said. “They complement each other very well. John did great work for Marcel during the Tour. John was the rider who would tow Marcel into position going into the final kilometer. He is a team player. He will have his chances on stages that are not good for Kittel.”
The team has its bases covered, with Kittel designated as team leader in the flatter, more traditional bunch finales, and Degenkolb waiting in the wings when there’s a punchy, uphill finish.
That relationship means Degenkolb is the team’s man for the classics in the next few years.
In 2013, the 25-year-old Degenkolb won Paris-Tours and the Vattenfall Cyclassics, and punched in with ninth at the Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders), proving he has the legs to go the distance in the longer, one-day classics.
Kittel’s brawny build also suggests that he could do very well in one-day races, especially the bumpy cobblestones classics. He’s already a two-time defending champion at Scheldeprijs, but Argos is avoiding the trap of focusing its top sprinter on the one-day races so popular in northern Europe.
When it comes to Kittel, the team is going to maintain the focus on sprinting. There’s no talk of taking on the northern classics, at least not yet.
“It’s too early to talk about developing for the classics for Marcel,” Spekenbrink said. “Right now, let’s keeping on working on the solid value of a sprinter. He can still improve. Let’s do that first. Maybe later we can look to the classics, it’s just too early to say.”
Interestingly enough, Kittel came into the sport as a time trial specialist. After some promising TT results in the under-23 ranks, many thought he would emerge as cycling’s next great man against the clock.
Argos put Kittel through physiological testing, however, and discovered he could post huge power numbers in short bursts, and then hold them to the line — ideal for a sprinter.
Perhaps his trajectory from TT specialist to the sprinting elite explains Kittel’s laidback personality. He didn’t flinch when a German reporter asked him to undergo a lie detector over the summer to determine if he was clean.
Most sprinters are brutal, highly competitive, sometimes wacky personalities. In contrast, Kittel oozes a calm mentality that sometimes drives his coaches crazy. They want him to get a harder edge.
“Marcel is not egocentric. He is a social guy and he appreciates everyone on the team. We do not want to change that, but sometimes he is even too friendly,” Spekenbrink said. “Even when the team makes mistakes, he will say, ‘thanks, I know you did your best.’ But to be a leader, sometimes you must also say that one must do it better. He is not always that hard.”
As Kittel’s confidence grows, so should his palmares, or at least that’s what Argos brass is hoping for.
“He can keep developing as a sprinter. When he came to us, he did not have that much experience as a pure sprinter,” Spekenbrink said. ” As he gains experience and gets all these hard races under him, he will become stronger and stronger.
“He had to fight and fight to get through the Alps, but that allowed him to win in Paris. He will take the next steps, and first we will do what we do best right now, so let’s try to reconfirm that for now.”
More wins at the Tour de France will go a long way toward that goal of confirmation. | <urn:uuid:e9727302-83c5-4a7f-a13d-d21df79d1303> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.velonews.com/2013/11/news/confirmation-is-key-for-marcel-kittel-in-2014_308938 | 2016-12-10T18:33:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698543434.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170903-00138-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956789 | 2,171 |

I still think that there is a need for some public airing of the issues raised by Steven McIntyre's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. We are seeing a pattern of behavior here - a pattern that began with Mr. McIntyre's "auditing" of Mike Mann, and then continued with investigations of Phil Jones, Jim Hansen, and Gavin Schmidt. Yesterday it Mr. McIntyre audited the hockey stick; today it's the GISS and CRU temperature datasets, and our comparison of modeled and observed temperature trends. Mr. McIntyre is not using FOIA requests as a vehicle for true scientific discovery. He does not seek to understand what we did, and why we did it. He has no interest in rational scientific debate. His intent is purely destructive - to suck us into a never-ending stream of requests for data, programs, explanations, emails, and even more data.
I fully endorse the idea of writing a commentary on this matter in Nature or Science. That commentary should be written by someone outside the main circle of protagonists; by someone who can look at these issues a lot more dispassionately than I can. The commentary should cover the issue of what is - and what is not - legitimate game for FOIA requests.
The commentary should also address the issue of how one determines the "reproducibility" of a scientist's results. Is it reasonable for Scientist B (or Citizen C) to request all of Scientist A's data, programs, experimental apparatus, etc., in order to replicate Scientist A's results? Should the "auditing" of Scientist A be done on Scientist B's publicly-accessible blog, in the 21st century equivalent of a public hanging? Who audits the auditor, and determines whether Scientist B or Citizen C has the expertise necessary to conduct a fair and impartial investigation of Scientist A's data, methods, and findings?
I'm very angry about the events that have unfolded after publication of our paper, but have to find some way to "move on". I'm hopeful that I'll now be able to return to my research. That's all I want to do.

Calif., Provinces Push Regional Cap and Trade; In Europe, Carbon Slump Continues
The Western Climate Initiative, a coalition of U.S. states and Canadian provinces seeking to create a regional carbon trading program, has created a non-profit corporation to support state and provincial emissions trading programs.
WCI, Inc. plans to develop a compliance tracking system for allowances and offsets, administer allowance auctions, and conduct market monitoring. Its initial board of directors includes officials from California, Quebec and British Columbia.
California’s cap-and-trade program sets limits on carbon emissions starting next year. The California Air Resources Board gave its final approval to the system on October 20. Emitters will also be able to meet up to eight percent of their required emissions reductions through carbon offsets.
Meanwhile, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. has ended its carbon offset program, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The utility’s ClimateSmart program let customers pay for offsets, but the program only attracted about 31,000 participants at its peak, compared to the 168,000 that PG&E predicted.
A company spokeswoman said the program reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 1.3 million metric tons, with participants contributing about $10 million over four years.
Across the Atlantic, the European debt crisis has helped to push the price of emissions permits in that trading program to near three-year lows, the New York Times reports, and is hurting investment in renewable and low-carbon technologies on the continent.
Wolfgang Sterk, a policy analyst with the Wuppertal Institute in Germany, said the low EU prices shouldn’t affect the nascent markets in California or in Australia, which passed legislation creating a carbon tax last week.
But in Europe, the Times said, the price slump has caused many traders and brokers to leave the carbon market.
On Thursday Ricardo Leiman, chief executive of commodity trader Noble Group, quit after the firm said it made a $17 million loss in Q3, its first quarterly loss for over a decade, Reuters reported. Chairman Richard Elman blamed the recent decline in prices for U.N. offsets called Certified Emissions Reductions.

I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
VOICE-OVER TRAINING Voice-over techniques studied through private lessons at Chart Productions with Boston radio host Jordan Rich Workshop presented by radio host Don Nelson. RELATED BACKGROUND Bachelor of Music degree in Flute Performance. I have also studied voice for many years with a prominent Boston area classical singer and perform with a well-known Boston area choral group. I have attended summer chamber music workshops for many years in the U.S., Canada and Italy, where I have performed as a flutist and as a singer. My extensive musical background as a classical singer and flutist has given me a good "ear" for tone quality, pitch, rhythm, phrasing and nuance. As a classically trained singer, my experience in singing in Italian, Spanish, French and German, translates to my ability to read words in these languages. As a performer, I am often required to address audiences to speak about the music. I have also taught private and group music lessons to children and adults, as well as nature classes to young children. My background in performance, teaching, and involvement in community activities has given me good experience in adjusting my vocal style and presentation, and this experience enhances my ability to give the appropriate voice to a variety of voice-over "audiences."

Quinnipiac poll shows Charlie Crist, Alex Sink leading November matchups
Alex Sink continues to gain ground in November's race for governor as the two Republicans wage an expensive battle to drive up each other's negatives, a new Quinnipiac University poll finds. If she were to face Bill McCollum (as yesterday's Q poll suggests), she would lead 31 percent to 29 percent. Against Rick Scott, she had a 33-29 lead. In both cases, independent Bud Chiles gets 12 percent and about a fifth of the electorate is undecided.
In the Senate race, Charlie Crist continues to hold about a seven point edge over Republican Marco Rubio. According to the poll, his lead is relatively the same regardless of who the Democratic nominee is. Against Kendrick Meek, Crist leads 39-32-16; while facing Jeff Greene he is up 40-32-15.
The poll was conducted from Aug. 11 to 16 and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points with a 1,096-person sample size.

Beverage Testing Institute Review
Pure amber color. Buttered toast and grain, buckwheat honey, and mossy stone aromas. A silky entry leads to a dryish medium body of honey buttered wheat toast, roasted nuts, dried banana, and peppery spice. Finishes with a lingering toffee, wet stone, and spice fade.

I have purchased several packs like this in the past from other manufactures which were very cheaply made. The Presidio is built like a tank and will no doubt last a lifetime. I am very pleased with the quality as well as the shipping time which was delivered on the second day after ordering. Thank you Military Luggage for offering a great product and great service. You sold me exactly what I had been looking for and will be back for future purchases. If you are on the fence about what quality you will get, don’t be because these products are bullet proof. | <urn:uuid:2dc182d9-1645-48d6-94fc-c28a3223b11d> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://militaryluggage.com/coyote-brown-small-presidio-assault-pack-by-flying-circle/ | 2021-03-03T14:02:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178366969.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303134756-20210303164756-00507.warc.gz | en | 0.989109 | 116 |
Which is more profitable, Grab Deliveries or Zomato? If I was to make a guess, based purely on intuition, I would have probably said Grab.
A large chunk of its business comes from Singapore and Malaysia, both multiple times richer than India. This should ideally translate to higher AOVs, willingness to pay for convenience and an overall better margin structure. Also, India, as we well know, is notoriously tough to make money in.
But as I found out, this isn’t quite the case.
When you compare both Grab and Zomato’s H1-2021 results there are a few points that stand out:
1. The basic “take rate” for Zomato is 20% while Grab’s is 17%. This is probably explained by category mix – while Zomato is primarily a food delivery company, Grab does food and groceries.
Groceries have significantly lower margins versus food (~4-5% compared to 20-25%) and likely explains why Grab’s take rate is lower. It also might explain Zomato’s recent call to shut down its grocery delivery pilot.
But it’s interesting to note that historically this number for Grab has been as low as <10%, which is not fully explained by category mix.
2. Next, what really impacts Grab’s revenues is its spend on incentives – to merchants, delivery partners and customers – this accounts for ~14% of its GMV and basically erodes most of the “take rate” it makes from its partners. This is likely not COVID-related, since the pre-COVID incentive numbers were much higher for Grab.
Zomato gives out incentives too, but they report it as part of “Sales & Marketing” spends, which also includes spends on branding etc. so I’m assuming it’s likely to be lower than Grab’s.
Are the dynamics in Southeast Asia really so different than India’s for commissions to be so much lower and incentive spending to be so high?
Is it higher competition vying for the same set of restaurants and customers or just Grab’s attempt to accelerate the process of changing the habit of customers to shop for food and groceries online? If it’s the latter, it would be interesting to see how this trend plays out over the next 2-3 years. It also likely explains why in a similarly-sized market, Grab is 3x the size of Zomato.
(The above analysis restates some of the numbers from their filings and makes some market assumptions – all of which I’ve shared for transparency via the file in the first comment and in the snapshot below). | <urn:uuid:f3678272-00cf-447c-82c2-f0d51a30888a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thelowdown.momentum.asia/which-is-more-profitable-grab-deliveries-or-zomato/ | 2023-09-30T23:44:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510730.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20230930213821-20231001003821-00421.warc.gz | en | 0.962407 | 567 |
I started this card with colors...
however, the colors were just Lost Lagoon and Pear Pizzazz.
I wanted to use them again together before
the Lost Lagoon is gone forever!
But then I added the butterfly in Hello Honey
and then I thought it was plain
so added the border on the side in Honey, too!
Next thing I know it is a totally different color combo then I planned
but really like how they came together.
I am no good at angle cutting and I looked for DSP to match but found none.
So I made my own by stamping on the Pear Pizzazz piece.
Grabbed my Sheltering Tree set for a lovely sentiment.
But I am loving using the Grateful Bunch set
esp now that I have the punch to match!
Enjoy your Friday and weekend..thanks for stopping by!

ROME -- Cardiovascular screening may benefit individuals but was not powerful enough to have an impact on the general population long-term, a trial found.
Compared with results in a control group, population-based screening and risk-based lifestyle counseling changed health behaviors over 5 years, including improved rates of smoking cessation and physical activity, reported Torben Jorgensen, MD, DMSc, and Charlotta Pisinger, MD, MPH, PhD, both of the Research Center for Prevention and Health at Glostrup University Hospital in Copenhagen.
But there was no effect of the strategy on incident cardiovascular and ischemic disease and stroke at 10 years, they told attendees at the European Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation's EuroPRevent meeting.
"We wanted to help the government find out whether they should offer health screening to the greater public," Jorgensen told MedPage Today in an interview.
Although the answer was negative, it doesn't suggest that physicians should give up on screening their patients on an individual basis, he said.
The control group was still getting usual care, which may have included some screening outside the program, he noted. "When we add a systematic screening atop of that it doesn't help."
The findings came as no surprise to Grethe Tell, PhD, MPH, of the University of Bergen, in Bergen, Norway.
Her country had tried such a program, screening everyone who turned 40, but abandoned it, largely because of the expense.
"I don't know of any countries that have today systematic screening, for example for blood pressure or for cholesterol, in the population," she told MedPage Today.
In clinical practice, there is an opportunity for individualized screening based on family history and other factors rather than screening even healthy younger adults, which is "probably not cost-beneficial," Tell noted.
Jorgensen and Pisinger's Inter99 trial included a population-based sample of 61,301 people ages 30 to 60 randomized to be invited to screening or to a control group who were simply followed by questionnaires.
Screening comprised a standard examination of blood pressure, an electrocardiogram, an oral glucose-tolerance test, lung function assessment, and measurement of height, weight, waist, and hip.
Individuals found to be at low risk on screening got two sessions of lifestyle counseling and were followed by questionnaires; whereas those found to be at high risk got four sessions of individual counseling plus group counseling for 6 months.
Physicians also were aware of age, sex, diabetes status, smoking status, cholesterol levels, and family history, which Jorgensen noted is similar to clinical practice around the world and supports generalizability.
At 5 years, health counseling had been associated with a significant reduction in smoking and binge drinking, an increase in physical activity and better diet, and an improvement in self-reported mental and physical health.
But at the 10-year mark, no differences were seen in outcomes. The hazard ratios between the high risk counseling group and controls were:
- 1.04 for incidence of ischemic heart disease (95% CI 0.95 to 1.14)
- 0.99 for incident stroke (95% CI 0.88 to 1.12)
- 1.01 for incidence of cardiovascular disease overall (95% CI 0.94 to 1.10)
Those results were adjusted for age, sex, education, and marital status.
However, education and income may have played a role in the limited effect of the screening and counseling, Jorgensen pointed out. They also noted that of the individuals randomized to be invited for screening, just over 50% were screened.
"We do not reach those who are in the highest need, the lower social classes," he concluded. "Societal structures are stronger than individual counseling."

Recent news leaked that Mallika Sherawat herself will lend her voice to a song composed by Julian Lennon, a famous musician in his own right besides being the first son of the late Beatle founder John.
The track is called SWAY and has Mallika singing in a breathy, sexy style reminiscent of Brigitte Bardot's collaborations with French musician Serge Gainsbourg.
In a move that runs parallel to the Indo-American film itself, Split Image Pictures has gone all out to bring East and West together for the Hisss soundtrack by fostering collaborations between Julian Lennon and Mallika Sherawat, David Kushner and Shruti Haasan, Shweta Pandit with both Panjabi MC and Alexander Von Bubenheim, and Los Angeles Hip-Hop mogul Craig Nobles.
For the first time in history an Indian artist would sing and write English lyrics for the leader of an American supergroup, in this case India's Shruti Haasan collaborated with David Kushner of the American rock supergroup Velvet Revolver which boasts celebrated members of Guns 'N Roses and Stone Temple Pilots on a song called Beyond the Snake. (Shruti's English lyrics sung from the point of view of Nagin the snake Goddess are below). The only other known example of such a situation is Ravi Shankar with the Beatles George Harrison.
Famed UK bhangra group leader Rajinder Singh Rai of Panjabi MC collaborated with Filmfare award-winning singer Shweta Pandit on a track entitled, I've Got That Poison, that purportedly uses the snake charmer flute (or, "been") in a groundbreaking way. It was Panjabi MC's past hit "Snake Charmer" that led the film's producers to seek out the group for the soundtrack to the film. And Hisss composer Alexander Von Bubenheim produced a dance record/single called Wrap Around that has both Mallika and Shweta singing vocals. The dance club remixes on the soundtrack were arranged by Los Angeles hip-hop mogul Craig Nobles. On the more traditional Bollywood side, Anu Malik provided the producers with a festive Holi song "Lagi Lagi" used in the film, and Shraddha Pandit composed a song called "Hisss" in which sister Shweta sings and Sulam Sulaman did the arrangement.
Venus Records and Tapes will make the Hisss soundtrack songs available for mobile and digital download including iTunes leading up to the release of the film scheduled for October 15th.

Sharp and Dangerous Virtues (Hardcover)
Swallow Press, 9780804011419, 400pp.
Publication Date: October 9, 2012
A Dayton Daily News Top Fiction Title of 2012
It’s 2047 in Dayton, Ohio. In response to food and water shortages, the U.S. government has developed an enormous, and powerfully successful, agricultural area—the “Heartland Grid”—just north of the city. In the meantime, in the wake of declining American power a multinational force has established itself in Cleveland. Behind these quickly shifting alliances lies a troubling yet tantalizing question: what will the American future look like?
Sharp and Dangerous Virtues is the story of ordinary people caught in situations they had never planned for or even imagined. There are Chad and Sharis, a married couple with two sons, holding out for normal life in their decaying suburb; Tuuro, a black church custodian whose false confession of murder is used for political purposes; Lila, Dayton’s aging, lonely Commissioner of Water, who dreams of being part of the “pure” existence of the Grid residents; and Charles and Diana, idealistic lovers trying desperately to preserve the nature center that has become their refuge.
What will these people do? What choices are left for them, and what choices have been taken away? Whom and what can they trust? Novelist Moody—known for her vivid portrayals of complicated characters and relationships in novels such as Best Friends and Sometimes Mine—weaves together cataclysmic events and the most intimate of human emotions to create a future that seems achingly real. Sharp and Dangerous Virtues will change the way you think and feel.

“First novels that track a pair of friends from college days through their subsequent lives aren’t exactly uncommon, but Moody’s is so freshly observed and gifted with a palpable sense of the ravages of time that it feels utterly new.”

New Iowa City Coworking Space Opens to Help Early-Stage Entrepreneurs
Officials with the University of Iowa's entrepreneurship center have had to make some tough choices the last two years. With entrepreneurship thriving at the school, a waiting list has formed at the Bedell Entrepreneurship Learning Laboratory.
That has meant leaders of the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center, which oversees Bedell, have had to be more selective in who's admitted to the student business incubator.
But officials say a new coworking space is the perfect spot for those left out of Bedell to build their early-stage companies.
"We have always managed (Bedell) by allowing the more serious students who are more further along in," said John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center acting director Lynn Allendorf. "We thought this would be a great place for really early-stage companies to go and work together."
The Thinc Innovation and Collaboration Lab opened in September and has been a hit ever since. Allendorf said officials have considered extending the space's hours to accommodate students who have requested that.
The space includes computers for student entrepreneurs to work on, a conference room, and a break room equipped with a pingpong table for "creative breaks."
The 5,000-square-foot space at the intersection of Dubuque and Market streets has already seen a lot of activity.
When a national conference needed a space to hold a student-entrepreneur showcase, Thinc hosted it. Thinc has also hosted new events, like Student IdeaStorm, and will be the place for future hackathons, Allendorf said.
In addition, John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center instructors and graduate students work from the space on a regular basis to be available for students every day.
"When they need support or mentoring, they want it now," Allendorf said. "That is how student businesses are run. They don't understand yet that if they send an email off in the business world and don't hear back for two days, that is reasonable." | <urn:uuid:6f46abb6-84b9-4172-9f5d-7a727c260abe> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://tippie.uiowa.edu/news/story.cfm?id=3225 | 2014-10-01T22:19:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1412037663611.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20140930004103-00357-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963458 | 432 |
Here’s an opinion that’s yet to be voiced in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn birth scene debate. Charlie Bewley, Demetri, wants the birth scene to “go all the way” — blood and all!
Twi-hards everywhere have an opinion on how director Bill Condon should film the birth scene in Breaking Dawn, including Volturi vampire Charlie.
“I think they should just go all the way and do it in 3D!” Charlie told E! News at Sunday’s Teen Choice Awards. “The baby kind of like pops out and floats above the audience’s head. Everyone who goes to see the movie with a bunch of kids going, ‘What?!’ ”
And he didn’t stop with that!
“There will be blood going like this,” he said while tilting his head back, opening his mouth and sliding his fingers over his face.
But seriously, how does Charlie think they will show the scene?
“I have no idea,” Charlie confessed. “[But] they have to keep it in there. It’s part of the book.”
While we may not agree with his theatrical vision of the birth scene, we do agree it should be included! What do you think? | <urn:uuid:6bffe2a5-1fbe-4db4-857a-5048f7d06ff2> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://okmagazine.com/get-scoop/*charlie-bewley-breaking-dawn-birth-scene-they-should-go-all-way/ | 2015-03-30T05:22:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131299054.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172139-00261-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960782 | 282 |
How old is Mother Nature?
She was once a child Herself
Newly exploded into existence
One moment space was empty
The next particles were bound
Creating not just a single planet
But an entire galaxy filled Universe.
Billions of years ago She exhaled
All of life in just one breath
Calling the universe to emerge
Her adolescent years were
Filled with gas and primordial ooze
Life forms taking shape slowly
Sculpted from rock and clay.
Her teen years saw creativity
Flying fish and giant mammals
And from her soil vegetation
To feed these new hungry lives
Emerging from dense fog lifting
To reveal forms of bacteria
Blanketing Her young body.
Her brilliance knew no bounds
A swift billion years passed
She coaxed fish from water
To breathe air and sunshine
Designed wings to fly higher
Managed moving parts fingers
Toes then music, a miracle!
And Mother Nature rested
She observed Her creation
Marveling at what time allowed
Having given birth to a world
Vibrating with rhythm and sound
Look there! Evolution has begun
She exhaled and life exploded.
Mother Nature was happy
Even when the four leggeds
Rose up on two legs
Even when they took up clubs
And fought to kill each other
Growing pains, She thought
Her pains were theirs as well.
In time the Earth populated
The two leggeds flourished
They took, burned, polluted
They tore her flesh in hunger
Her only defense was the virus
But two leggeds found a cure
And Mother Nature cried out.
Other species heard Her cry
In the face of their own slaughter
Brutal mayhem was unleashed
Her Earth body shifted, changed
Robbed of precious resources
Her life ebbed away, depleted
And something deep shifted again.
Mother Nature moved into stillness
A time of age to pause and wonder
Her temperature began to fluctuate
Pulse fast and slow, hot then cold
Cold then hot with no warning
Uncontrollable internal movement
Her foundations violently shaking.
The two leggeds debated angrily
What to do with our sick Mother?
She is now no longer of use to us
We want a future beyond the stars
And Mother Nature looked closely
Upon her spoiled, greedy children
And saw the truth of their disease.
Decline was coming too soon
Another billion years was needed
Even more to evolve Her creation
But the two leggeds would not stop
Poisoning Her veins, Her soil
Her rivers, Her oceans, Her air,
Her death felt but a generation away.
As Her body convulsed in spasms
Temperature rising higher, higher
Master Sun showed no mercy
Even as She asked for compassion
In the prime of his life, rays unshielded
Master Sun flared at the galaxies center
Blistering Mother Earth with his fire.
The two leggeds prepared to leave
In deep space they’d found a planet
Why stay on this dying Earth when
Light years away possibility beckoned
They sent the most daring, courageous
Men, women, children, babies asleep
Dreaming a destination light years away.
Stay, work to make me whole again
But they could not stop the destruction
Would not sacrifice their addictions
Overwhelmed, dying from toxic waste
There were those who tried to change
There were those who continued to pollute
Most were those who just did not care.
Time passed, preparations were made
Rocket ships lifted off into deep space
And left to renew and heal Her self
To wash Her oceans of human filth
To drain the chemicals from Her soil
She knew only time would renew life
She exhaled and prepared for their return. | <urn:uuid:d9ea46bc-112a-4573-80a1-17eeac623182> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://deliaquigley.com/2017/06/04/mother-nature-in-menopause/ | 2021-07-31T05:08:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154053.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20210731043043-20210731073043-00306.warc.gz | en | 0.940717 | 795 |
As this very odd year comes to a close, let’s celebrate the large and small ways our community helped us protect the health of Casco Bay in 2020. Here are our top ten for the year:
1.) On December 2, the Maine Climate Council released its four-year Climate Action Plan, “Maine Won’t Wait.” We are heartened that the plan sets a roadmap for achieving carbon neutrality in Maine by 2045 and includes important mitigation measures to help coastal communities adapt to looming changes.
2.) Our volunteer Water Reporters were chosen as CommUNITY Champions. More than 240 volunteers are helping us keep watch over the health of the Bay.
3.) Gulf of Maine Poet Gary Lawless wrote the poem, “For Casco Bay, For Us,” in honor of our 30th anniversary. You can read the poem here and hear Gary read it at our Celebrating Water event in July, hosted by Executive Director Cathy Ramsdell.
4.) The South Portland City Council passed a groundbreaking fertilizer ordinance to promote soil health and to protect Casco Bay from nitrogen pollution.
5.) In October, Staff Scientist Mike Doan and Casco Baykeeper Ivy Frignoca shared what they saw on the Bay this field season during What Casco Bay is Telling Us: A Casco Bay Matters Event. Ivy also hosted a Casco Bay Matters event earlier this year about the Maine Climate Council.
7.) We were delighted that Royal River Conservation Trust selected Executive Director Cathy Ramsdell and Friends of Casco Bay as recipients of their Conservation Champion Award.
9.) We launched the public phase of our $1.5 million Climate Change and Casco Bay Fund. We are now less than $15,000 from crossing the finish line! And we will soon be launching two more continuous monitoring stations, thanks to the Fund!
10.) While we couldn’t celebrate our 30th anniversary in person, we were honored to have these community partners reflect on our success over the past three decades. We also took a trip down memory lane by scrolling through this timeline of our biggest victories and milestones.
We look forward to keeping you updated in the New Year. Thank you for being a Friend of Casco Bay. | <urn:uuid:e1773fea-d8b7-4651-9ffb-e98895d82134> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.cascobay.org/category/science/continuous-monitoring-station/ | 2021-01-26T03:33:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610704795033.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20210126011645-20210126041645-00261.warc.gz | en | 0.945879 | 462 |
Words by Bartek Wilk
Reykjavík on Stage takes a dive into the universe of Árni Grétar, aka Futuregrapher, half of Árni², a member of Weirdcore collective and co-founder of Möller Records label.
These days you’re one of the most recognizable and well-known artists of the Icelandic electro scene. But you worked long and hard to get there. You played lots and lots of concerts and I can’t even count all of your releases. How much energy and work did you have to put in before it finally paid off?
I began writing music early – at the age of 13 in 1996 – and at first it was just for fun, to try and make sense of this life. There is this music competition in Reykjavík called ‘Músíktilraunir’ and it all started there. I once got into the finals with my band, and then a year later another one of my projects won a prize for “best electronic music”. So, before I was 20 I had this dream of making records and traveling the world and playing music. But it took hard work and dedication for many years. I started this Futuregrapher project around the age of 24 and then things started happening. I met Biogen and the Weirdcore – and the rest is history.

MOUNTED LAW ENFORCEMENT & SECURITY
Would you be surprised to see police officers patrolling your neighborhood on horses? Actually, horses have been used in police work for many years. Today, Police Mounted Units have become an important component in law enforcement throughout the United States, not only in rural areas, but in urban settings as well. Their effectiveness in crowd control is unequaled. Their high visibility makes them a deterrent to crime. Their participation in parades and other community events, as well as their presence in our neighborhoods, make them invaluable in boosting positive relations with the community, especially with the children.
The private security industry is also recognizing those values in providing private protection where traditional security measures might be less effective or impractical.
Mounted Police and Posse Training Courses
Suncoast Equine offers various levels of training for both full-time and part-time sworn law enforcement officers, as well as non-sworn members of a law enforcement agency's civilian equestrian support organization, commonly referred to as a mounted reserve or posse. Thee popular courses are now extended to private security agencies who utilize mounted patrols.
Each course provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to competently perform his or her responsibilities. All of our training is insured. Classes are regularly conducted at our facility at the Emerald Oaks Ranch in Webster, Florida. If you would like for us to conduct a class closer to you, please contact us for arrangements.
