If you've ever read or watched Dan Brown's THE DA VINCI CODE
, then you've heard of Rosslyn Chapel
. It's where the movie concludes, where they discover Sophie's lineage. And while it put the chapel solidly on the tourist map, it's actually been around for over 9,000 years.
Good friends Prescott Hill and Lisa Michaels recently came through Edinburgh, and Lisa was keen to visit the chapel. We've been saving these tourist destinations for exactly such situations so that we can enjoy them for the first time with friends.
The bus trip down was easy peasy. We picked up the #37 from North Bridge at the whopping price of £1.60. After a relaxing hour winding through the Scottish countryside, we reached our destination.
A tour bus also arrived about the same time, but the new visitor's center and professional guides handled the crowd beautifully. They hand out laminated fact sheets with images of key points to look for inside the chapel. No photos are allowed inside this still operational church, so do visit the website
to get a peek.
The chapel was originally supposed to be just the top portion of a much larger cross, but money ran out. Over the centuries (!!) the chapel has gone through periods of disrepair and neglect, but it somehow survived Cromwell (by becoming his stable) and nature itself when there were no windows to keep out the rain, wind and vines. In the 1800s the chapel was enclosed and a new entrance was built on. You can really see the difference in the stone. Can you imagine what it must look like during a beautiful sunset?
Unfortunately, some of the attempts to save the chapel weren't done well. At one point, a cement slurry was painted over everything inside in an attempt to save it. But the wet environment only caused moisture to build up under the slurry, causing worse damage. It also homogenized the colors. THIS is what the colors looked like at one time - this is a grave outside the chapel.
The book and the movie were a huge boon to the chapel, though. Visitors bring in money and the preservation of the chapel is actually ahead of schedule. Very cool as the chapel really is remarkable and lovely. It even has underfloor heating now, to keep out the damp, which makes it quite comfortable inside.
It's also full of stories (not just The Da Vinci Code). Such as the story of the master and the apprentice... Sir William St. Clair is credited with founding the chapel in 1446. Back then, it was believed that you could buy a fast track to heaven by building a beautiful church. So, there was no lack of money or artisans. Sir William even traveled to Italy to find inspiration. There he came across a lovely, spiral column. He had a model made of it and took it back to his master craftsman. Sadly, it was beyond the man's skills. But he wasn't about to let on. He said he needed to see the column in person. While away, his apprentice figured he could create the column. So he did. He thought his master would be so pleased. He wasn't. He went into a jealous rage and hit the apprentice with a hammer, killing him instantly. Realizing what he'd done, he ran. But he was soon captured and hung for the murder. Not very church like. Hm.
But there were more craftsmen to be had. So many, in fact, the local town of Roslin was established to house them all. There, we stopped at the Original Rosslyn Inn for lunch. Prescott had the traditional fish n' chips.
We didn't get a photo of the four of us at Rosslyn Chapel, but I do have some from their Edinburgh adventure - coming soon. | <urn:uuid:a9bcb427-58db-41b8-bfac-3810123cd65d> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://dulemba.blogspot.com/2016/05/ | 2023-05-30T14:24:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224645810.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20230530131531-20230530161531-00762.warc.gz | en | 0.983375 | 777 |

What is the biggest result of the fundamental theorem of calculus?
All continuous functions have antiderivatives that are also continuous.
What is the price elasticity of demand?
Elasticity refers to the percentage change of one variable as a result of a percentage change of another. For the price elasticity of demand, the ratio is the percentage change in quantity consumed as a result of a 1% change in price.
Suppose that 30% of people skip breakfast and 40% of people skip lunch. If 50% of people eat both breakfast and lunch, what is the probability that a selected person skips both breakfast and lunch?
Let skipping breakfast be event A and skipping lunch be event B and the compliment denoted by an apostrophe. Then: Pr(A) = .30, Pr(B) = .40, Pr(A' AND B') = Pr((A OR B)') = .50, and thus Pr(A OR B) = 1 - .50 = .50 Pr(A AND B) = Pr(A) + Pr(B) - Pr(A OR B) = .30 + .40 - .50 = .20 | <urn:uuid:45db3121-bd3b-4eac-8abf-c6e0d67eafa2> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://tutorme.com/tutors/4980/interview/ | 2018-03-18T23:14:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257646178.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318224057-20180319004057-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.954064 | 241 |

The Energy Projekt proudly announces that our young champion, A. R. Ilamparthi, has made it to the world no. 1 spot, based on the latest ELO ratings released by the World Chess Federation on February 1, 2017.
Continuing with his stellar performances, this child prodigy will be participating in the Asian Meet (under 8) to be held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in March / April 2017; and in the World Meet (under 8) at Brasilia, Brazil, in August 2017. Team Energy Projekt wishes him the very best in all his forthcoming endeavours.
About A.R. Ilamparthi:
Aged 8 years, A. R. Ilamparthi is a Class II student of DAV School, Chennai. He has been ranked as India’s No 1 Under-8 & Under-9 chess player this year. Given his exceptional talent, he opened FIDE rating at the tender age of 5 years and went on to win many medals across the country, with few noteworthy ones being – National Schools’ Chess Championships – 2014 (Gold at New Delhi), 2015 (Silver at Goa) and 2016 (Gold at Maharashtra). He was selected to play in Asian Schools’ Chess Championships 2014 in the Under- 5 category (Korea) and again in Under-6 (Singapore 2015) and in Under-7 category (Iran 2016). Unfortunately, financial constraints at his family front prevented him from participating in any of these international leagues. When Team Energy Projekt got a referral from his coach Mr V. Ravichandran of Mount Chess Academy through Ms.Usha Krishnan, we took Ilamparthi under our wing. Since his induction with us, he has made the following strides:
Won Gold Medal in 7th Saveetha TN State Level Open Chess Tournament – Under 8 (Chennai – July 16)
In Modern School FIDE Open Rating Tournament (Chennai – July 16) with over 400 entries where there was no age wise categorization, he secured 24th ranking overall and was the youngest in the list of prize finalists
Finished at 9th position with 8 points (out of 11 rounds) in National Under – 9 held at Jallandhar (Aug 22 – 30) with 6 wins, 4 draws, and a lone loss in the last round (which ultimately prevented him from bagging the silver)
His international FIDE rating was 1199 before May 16 and presently it is 1764 – this kid is sure making giant strides and his energy knows no bounds!
To Celebrate this incredible achievement of Ilamparthi’s accomplishment, Team Energy Projekt took our 10 Passion Kids for an outing on Saturday, January 28, 2017.
Team Energy Projekt took our 10 ‘Passion Kids’ for an outing on Saturday, January 28, 2017. The day kicked off with catching the critically acclaimed movie Dangal – a story of the Phogat sisters Geeta and Babita and their passion for wrestling, ignited by their father against all odds. The movie, that ends with the sisters finally winning international acclaim through sheer hard work and dedication, was a true inspiration for the kids, who have themselves made this far through sheer devotion, guidance from expert coaches, and funding from Team Energy Projekt.
Next up was lunch at a popular suburban restaurant, which gave the kids ample opportunity to interact with each other, make friends, and exchange learnings.
The day ended with Team Energy Projekt’s senior members giving a pep talk to the kids, encouraging them to set high targets, with short term and long term goals, and then work towards them with razor sharp focus. It was a memorable day and we hope the fun, yet learning experience will motivate the kids to put their best foot forward in their respective disciplines.

Microsoft Flight Simulator Adventures
Well, this was interesting . . .
On Monday Reba “Immaculate” Jones, (A.K.A. me, that is to say, I) flew from SAWL on Tierra del Fuego to SAYB at Argentina’s Antarctic Base Belgrano II, one of the two Flight Sim airstrips in Antarctica, to be in position to try for the South Pole today, 2021’s Southern Summer Solstice.
It was an interesting attempt.
The G1000 navigation map (stock version; no NXi) froze about 45 minutes into the flight, but the GPS tracking, distance, and ETE information continued to feed in.
I recall reading the sim doesn’t go beyond 80º latitude. That looks like the end of the map to me — a straight line from horizon to horizon; no dragons though, and the sky keeps going.
About an hour from the pole the clouds turned into an aerogel version of the Okavango Delta and then into aerogel bergs:
Sidebar: Disaster struck about 45 minutes from the pole. My plan was to simulate loading the Caravan’s cargo pods with extra fuel and transfer it to the main tanks as needed. Unfortunately, even though I paid attention to the C.G. when loading the pods, the moment I deleted fuel from one of them, the plane went into an insane spiral dive and crashed into whatever the sim thought was down there. I restarted the flight and sped up the sim to get back to that point: disaster alleviated!
As I approached the pole the PFD became increasingly dissociated from reality:
At the pole the flight plan called for a dogleg turn to the right to make for McMurdo Station. I think the Caravan made the turn but the sim frame rate dropped to that of a slowly cranked Kinetoscope and never recovered.
Update: A late dispatch says Reba Immaculate Jones landed successfully at McMurdo Station and reported seeing an anomalous tropical valley dense with ferns the size of trees and populated by dinosaurs, cave dwellers, the crew of a lost German WWII U-boat, and three Americans from a crashed balloon including one blond woman — or maybe that was a movie she had on her iPad; it’s not clear which. | <urn:uuid:8153b2e0-9b61-4a72-b6f5-385118643371> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://rharryw.com/2021/12/21/south-pole-attempt/ | 2022-10-02T16:09:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337338.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002150039-20221002180039-00422.warc.gz | en | 0.949043 | 490 |
If you’ve tried to email me in the last two days, I didn’t get it and you’ll have to resend it. I tried to fix one little thing with my domain registrar and broke my email instead. It’s working now, but all emails between Nov. 23 at 6:54 p.m. to Nov. 25 at 9:13 p.m. are gone forever.
Good news, Gypsy has water! The water isn’t exactly running yet, but water does exist inside Gypsy’s fresh water tank.
Immediately after installing all the necessary fittings and pipes, I excitedly grabbed the garden hose and found out firsthand that if one does not know what one is doing, one can get very, very wet while filling a fresh water tank. Lessons learned today:
- Open the vent all the way. Not part of the way, all the way. Failure to do this can cause water to gush back out of the fill hose into one’s face.
- Don’t use cheap hose clamps. Cheap ones break while you’re tightening them. And leaving a cheap, broken hose clamp in place and assuming it’ll work fine is most definitely a mistake.
- If using a flexible fill hose, affix it to something sturdy or have someone else hold it up while you’re filling the tank. Juggling two flexible hoses is apparently more than some can handle.
So, yeah, I got wet. So did everything within 5 feet of me. The good news is that aside from a broken hose clamp, leaks are surprisingly absent—for now.
Here’s a photo of the CleanFLO faucet, which I was too lazy to post yesterday:

World Programming Limited (WPL) develop and sell the World Programming System (WPS), an interpreter for the language of SAS. A great alternative - Request a free evaluation of WPS.
LONDON, UK - 18th November, 2009 - Last week, SAS Institute, the multi-billion dollar US corporate, trumpeted the fact that it had issued proceedings against a recent entrant to the world of business analytics software, World Programming Limited (WP).
Using innovative development techniques, WP have done something that they believe the SAS Institute never dreamt possible. WP have invested 50 man years producing a competing SAS language interpreter, known as the WPS Software, which enables anyone to write and run SAS language applications without requiring any software from the monopoly provider, the SAS Institute.
WP produce and sell their interpreter at a fraction of the cost of the SAS version. The introduction of competition into the SAS interpreter market has been warmly welcomed.
WP have retained a leading team of Technology Lawyers to defend the claim and to fight SAS Institute head on in the High Court.
Oliver Robinson for WP said:
"SAS seem to have issued this claim with the sole intention of scaring us and our customers, or perhaps they have been badly advised.
Our company has worked really hard over the last 7 years to produce a successful product and this claim looks like a last-ditch attempt by SAS to hold onto its monopoly position.
We knew our WPS software was good but with version 2.4 released last month it must be even better than we thought to provoke this seemingly desperate response from the SAS Institute".
Alexander Carter-Silk, head of the Technology Group at Speechly Bircham which is advising WP, said:
"SAS are claiming that the way in which WP has used a $100 learning package bought on Amazon was not permitted by the terms of the click wrap license.
SAS is alleging that WP have run "the SAS Learning Edition software for the purposes of observing its operation and functions in order to develop the WPS software in a way which reproduces the operation and functions of the SAS System". European law provides that one can lawfully observe the operation and functioning of a computer program and develop interoperable or alternative solutions which perform the same function. So far as we can see, WP have honoured both the spirit and the letter of the law. We are surprised that a company of SAS’s repute would want to pursue this action"
The claim brought by SAS will provide WP with a very public platform from which to prove that the WPS software is a legitimate alternative to the SAS interpreter and to show that WP have honestly established themselves as a true competitor to the SAS Institute.
The case is on-going.

The Saint Sofia Church
The Saint Sofia Church(Bulgarian: църква „Света София“, tsarkva „Sveta Sofia“) is the second oldest church in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, dating to the 6th century. In the 14th century, the church gave its name to the city, previously known as Serdica.
The church was built on the site of several earlier churches and places of worship dating back to the days when it was the necropolis of the Roman town of Serdica. In the 2nd century, it was the location of a Roman theatre. Over the next few centuries, several other churches were constructed, only to be destroyed by invading forces such as the Goths and the Huns. The basic cross design of the present basilica, with its two east towers and one tower-cupola, is believed to be the fifth structure to be constructed on the site and was built during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in the middle of the 6th century (527-565).
In the 14th century, the church gave its name to the city. In the 16th century, during Ottoman rule, the church was converted into a mosque: the original 12th-century frescoes were destroyed and minarets were added. In the 19th century two earthquakes destroyed one of the minarets and the mosque was abandoned. Restoration work was begun after 1930. In 1955 the temple was pronounced a cultural monument. Some of the church rituals related to choosing a new patriarch are associated to his church.
The Saint Sofia Church is now one of the most valuable pieces of Early Christian architecture in Southeastern Europe. The present building is a cross basilica with three altars. The floor of the church is covered with complex Early Christian ornamental or flora and fauna-themed mosaics. The Saint Sofia Church stands in the middle of an ancient necropolis and many tombs have been unearthed both under and near the church. Some of the tombs even feature frescoes. During the building of commemorative monument next to the church were made new archaeological findings. The grave if the famous writer Ivan Vazov is behind the church. | <urn:uuid:ca130dbd-4d03-4cc0-9e2b-88eb2a4d4403> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.sofia-code.org/en/738/%D1%86%D1%8A%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B2%D0%B0-%D1%81%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B0-%D1%81%D0%BE%D1%84%D0%B8%D1%8F/ | 2019-11-22T13:34:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496671260.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20191122115908-20191122143908-00135.warc.gz | en | 0.986808 | 474 |

"Nate McLouth led off for the Orioles in their first playoff game, and he had a great game, helping his team dispatch the defending A.L. Champion Rangers."
"After the coup, President Stallone suspended the 2012 election, citing 'national security issues.'"
Which sentence would you have thought more likely at this time last year? I'd take the latter. But here we are.
Rangers closer Joe Nathan came on in the top of the ninth inning, down 3-1, ostensibly to prevent things from getting worse. They got worse.
Jim Thome walked to lead off the inning, and he went to third on a Robert Andino double. Manny Machado followed, hitting a good pitch to left for a single:
Lew Ford, pinch-running for Thome, scored, and Andino went to third. After a McLouth sacrifice fly, the Orioles extended their lead to 5-1.
The Baltimore Orioles.
Yep. It's time to just leave this here: | <urn:uuid:d56e7af4-9f47-4209-bd81-97e853ce69d2> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.baseballnation.com/2012/10/5/3463246/orioles-add-on-in-9th-inning-lead-5-1/in/3223669 | 2013-06-20T09:17:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368711005985/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516133005-00028-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961824 | 207 |
We’re on the homestretch!
I completed my third (and final!) 20+ mile LR in my Boston training cycle! It went really well: 22 miles in 2:49 (avg 7:41 pace). I’m a “run how you feel” kind of runner, especially for the LRs, and my legs just felt good. The effort didn’t feel any harder or faster than any other day’s run. I fueled with 3 GUs and carried my water belt; I had great music; the Boulder Creek Path was paved of its snow. I just cruised along.
Compared to prior marathons, I’ve genuinely committed 100% to my training, and I think it’s showing. There have been serious adjustments:
– Previous marathon training cycles: 2-4 runs a week, averaging 20-30ish miles
– This training cycle: 6-8 runs a week, averaging 50-68 miles
Reflecting back on the execution of each of my 3 20+ milers, I’ve gained a positive dose of personal confidence in my legs and training. It’s interesting to look back at elevation profiles and the stats from each of the 20+’ers…
Long Run #1: 20 miles in 2:44hrs. Average pace = 8:12.
Long Run #2: 20.5 miles in 2:46hrs. Average pace = 8:06.
Long Run #3: 22 miles in 2:49hrs. Average pace = 7:41.
I’m really happy with the progression in effort. I haven’t had any GI/stomach issues, as I’ve stuck to the same fueling plan as I used to: eat 1 GU every 6 miles, followed by a few ounces of water. Confession: these 3 have been the only runs I’ve taken fuel on during this entire training cycle. Anything less than 18 miles, I practiced glycogen depletion. One of my running mentors supported the idea, so I decided to give it a go after her advice. And it worked out great all training cycle.
And now? Now it’s taper time! Holy smokes! We made it! | <urn:uuid:d76051a1-bfec-4513-ae71-eff3a91eae7a> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://eforunner.com/2013/03/26/3-20-milers-how-have-they-stacked-up/ | 2019-04-25T17:08:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578727587.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20190425154024-20190425175118-00031.warc.gz | en | 0.950118 | 473 |
Receiving its name from the practice of running goods to and from Canada, most notably alcohol during the 1920s, Smugglers Notch is a much more civilized and well-travelled area these days. Get there by taking highway 108 from either highway 15 in the north or highway 100 in the south.
Take Toll Road off of highway 108 and follow it up the slopes until you reach the Long Trail access. There is a decent sized parking area here with restrooms. Follow the Long Trail to the top of Mount Mansfield for some beautiful views and typical Vermont granite rock and northern forest contrasts. In some spots the trees literally cling to boulders and rock faces in an elemental struggle for supremacy.
Once you reach the mountain, forego the Long Trail as it loops through the ski resorts and neighborhoods in the area, and strike out on the Sunset Ridge Trail. This takes you through some more of the same beautiful scenery and ends at Browns River (dried up in the summer) and the CCC road. Turn around and trudge back up to the mountain and then to the car for a brisk, but relatively easy 4 mile total. Be sure and drive the length of highway 108 as the scenery is no less spectacular from your car. Maybe when you’re done head down to Waterbury and treat yourself to some Ben and Jerry’s at their home factory. | <urn:uuid:1b248542-0a1c-4f5c-9a79-1fda0f4cf336> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://www.lovetheoutdoors.com/smugglers-notch/ | 2023-12-01T19:36:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100304.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201183432-20231201213432-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.958611 | 280 |
Heifer International Board Member Racing to End Hunger and PovertyLITTLE ROCK, AR
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (November 21, 2013) – Heifer International Board Member Francine Anthony is taking her cause to the streets of Oakland and San Francisco by running in not one, but three, races for Heifer this holiday season.
Anthony, elected to the Heifer International board in 2011, was inspired by a recent trip to visit Heifer projects in Nepal with other board members. “I take a lot of pride in Heifer’s work. Since the Nepal experience, though, there has been an inside voice urging me to do more. Finally, I think I’ve found an answer. I love to run and so I’ve decided to run for Heifer during the November/Holiday 2013 season,” Anthony said.
She is doing just that. Anthony will clock well over 150 miles (training and racing) in just under six weeks as she competes in the Berkeley Half Marathon on November 24, the Piedmont 5k Turkey Trot on November 28, and Dec 29 Golden Gate Bridge Vista 10k. She is using Heifer’s online personal fundraising platform, Team Heifer, to promote fundraising for the organization as she completes her runs.
“In the U.S., we kick off our holiday season with Thanksgiving, which has become what my husband and I term, ‘the foodie holiday.’ What a wonderful way to start our ‘foodie holiday’—by contributing to Heifer's efforts to reduce and eliminate world hunger and poverty,” she said.
About Heifer International:
Heifer’s mission is to end hunger and poverty while caring for the Earth. Since 1944, Heifer International has provided livestock and environmentally sound agricultural training to improve the lives of those who struggle daily for reliable sources of food and income.

Directly my ADHD has caused me severe difficulty and lifelong struggles, but such difficulty and struggling has given me insight and empathy into other people, especially those with complex behavioral and emotional difficulties.
I have a lot of empathy for others who have not had the most fortunate circumstances in life, this is without a doubt due to the disadvantage that i have suffered.
For some reason also, I am very good at interacting with younger people and children. | <urn:uuid:ea32f19a-2ed5-420f-8005-e6e8990f1296> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.additudemag.com/forums/reply/42348/ | 2021-04-12T15:01:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038067870.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20210412144351-20210412174351-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.976715 | 150 |
A Frankston bathing box has set a new record for the southeastern suburb’s shoreline the day before it was scheduled to go to auction.
And this was despite the owners rejecting a higher offer from a second prospective buyer.
No. 10 Frankston Beach was swept up in a wave of early interest, with three parties making bids for the home from Wednesday to Friday last week.
The beach box fetched $165,000.
In a deal sealed late on Friday, the 6x4m weatherboard box sold for $165,000, topping the suburb’s $163,000 previous record set by a bathing box with a cement base and brick walls, often more appealing to buyers due to their sturdiness.
Ray White’s Ashley Weston said a mother and son duo had bought No. 10.
“They’re from Narre Warren but have an investment property in Seaford,” Mr Weston said.
“They are pretty excited to reconnect (at the bathing box) in summer after much of 2020 apart. It’s their way of having a piece of paradise on the beach.”
Mr Weston added while there had been a higher offer of $170,0000, that buyer had intended to seek finance through the mortgage of their home leading to a longer settlement term.
Instead, the owners went with the “shore thing” $165,000 cash offer with a quick 72-hour settlement.
The hot piece of property attracted 90 inquiries.
The seller was letting the box go after relocating to Queensland just before COVID-19 shut down much of Melbourne.
They bought the bathing box, one of three rebuilt by the orders of Frankston City Council, for $115,000 at a charity auction in 2013.
Mr Weston expected bathing boxes to be hot property this summer, with COVID-19 altering many people’s travel plans.
“We had about 90 inquiries for this box,” he said. “Unfortunately, 90 per cent were from those living outside the Frankston City Council region, which left us with about a dozen people that were local.
“We were quite surprised with the response, but with everyone locked away it shows how important it is to have that outdoor space.”
How’s the serenity?
Another cement and brick bathing box at No. 20 sold for $115,000 on December 16, 2019.
Victoria’s beach box record is believed to be held by shed in Portsea, which sold for an eye-watering $910,000 in November 2018. | <urn:uuid:ce91baca-8dd7-4f1b-b39e-7a7ad6ee41ca> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://raywhitefrankston.com.au/news/frankston-beach-box-record-price-reeled-in-ahead-of-auction | 2021-07-28T10:05:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153709.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20210728092200-20210728122200-00061.warc.gz | en | 0.976533 | 543 |
Brooks RCMP are investigating the death of an 18-month-old girl in a day home in the southeast Alberta city.
On Monday afternoon, the operator of the unregistered day home in the west side of Brooks alerted authorities to a medical emergency, said Sgt. Raimo Loo.
“When police and emergency services arrived, they found an unresponsive child,” said Loo.
Efforts were made to revive the non-breathing girl, but she died.
Several other children were at the day home at the time, said Loo, adding foul play isn’t suspected in the girl’s death.
“If it did, we’d be taking a different course of action — there’s no major crimes unit involved,” he said.
“It’s before the medical examiner’s office.”
An autopsy was being done Tuesday in Calgary and the day home’s operator is being interviewed by police, said Loo.
He wouldn’t say if police have been called to the residence before.

Memory is the personal record of past experiences. It is the brain's ability to store information to use later. The Greeks considered memory (Mnemosyne) as the mother of Muses, for without her there would be no art and no science.
There are two types of memory: short-term and long-term memory, or known as working memory and reference memory.
- Short-term memory, the ability to keep information in mind for a short time, like remembering a phone number long enough to find a piece of paper.
- Long-term memory, the ability to remember things long after they happen, like remembering a holiday you had last year. | <urn:uuid:7265fdc9-10bb-48e9-a8e7-b72f1924fd0a> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory | 2019-06-25T11:33:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999838.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625112522-20190625134522-00418.warc.gz | en | 0.946165 | 137 |

The Anglo-American "globocrat" establishment is no longer hiding its support for the now admittedly armed rebellion spreading across Libya. The rebellion has been met by a defiant Qaddafi who may have more support than the corporate owned media has revealed and the rebels may need "extra" assistance from their Western sponsors, lest they end up in a "Bay of Pigs-like" scenario.
storm Tripoli. Hopefully the US government will be as understanding
toward US protesters during their own besieging as they are now for
the Libyan rebels. Photo via CTV.
While Libyan opposition leader Ibrahim Sahad leads the rhetorical charge from Washington D.C., his National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL) on the ground is armed to the teeth, as it has been throughout its 20 year history of attempted CIA backed rebellions against Qaddafi. In 1984, the NFSL tried to overthrow Qaddafi in a failed armed coup. The Daily Globe and Mail also recently confirmed that the NFSL along with the Libyan National Army, both under Sahad's new National Conference of Libyan Opposition (NCLO), had both "attempted coups and assassinations against Col. Gadhafi in the 1980s."
By the corporate media's own admissions then, Qaddafi is not battling unarmed civilians, but heavily armed, foreign backed militants who may yet have their efforts augmented with US air cover and additional arms deliveries. The rhetorical calls from the globalist think-tanks and the likes of Libya's Ibrahim Sahad for a no-fly zone have now shifted over to globalist yes-men like David Cameron and Hillary Clinton who claim military assets are being moved into place.
Senator Lieberman during a joint CNN interview with Senator McCain, went as far as repeatedly and openly calling for additional arms to be sent to rebel groups on the ground, recognizing them as the legitimate government, as well as repeating the call for the no-fly zone already on the table. McCain built on Lieberman's statements claiming the US should "stand up for democracy" not only across the Arab world but as far as China as well, confirming the scale and reach of the globalists' agenda. UK PM David Cameron has also called for providing additional arms to rebel leaders, clarifying the globalist consensus and ensuring a protracted bloodbath ensues.
With characters like Lieberman already calling for the recognition of the "revolutionary government," Ibrahim Sahad's NCLO and the various groups that fall under it will undoubtedly constitute Libya's new government should Qaddafi fall. How the rest of Libya takes the new government is unknown, with Libya itself being precariously cobbled together and Qaddafi's rule being one of the few common denominators that makes Libya - "Libya."
Libya consists of various tribes, Berbers and Arabs, African refugees, as well as expatriate work forces from China and South Asia, all combined under Qaddafi and his localized revolutionary committees. When they fall, chaos and infighting will ensue and the blood soaked catastrophe that the West has triggered will only be compounded. Foreigner workers have been leaving the country by the thousands - these too are lives destroyed, forced to return to their home countries of China, Bangladesh, and neighboring nations in North Africa, jobless and with empty hands. There are also the Libyan refugees already being turned back by the EU and now suffering in limbo.
While the West points the finger of blame at Qaddafi, they are the ones who triggered and are fueling the unrest. By supplying weapons, providing air cover, and recognizing armed rebels as the legitimate government of Libya, they are now compounding the consequences of this engineered conflagration. From the corporate owned media, to the corporate sponsored think-tanks that supply them their talking points, to the puppet politicians standing behind the West's symbolic podiums of powers, they are the ones destroying Libya. Be sure to thank these corporate combines in kind, the next time you address your shopping list by boycotting these multinational megalomaniacs. | <urn:uuid:6b3f47f3-a578-4a2c-8bc3-4d38f0426d62> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html | 2015-10-08T21:55:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737904854.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221824-00196-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965838 | 815 |
The cryptocurrency markets achieved another comprehensive advance on Tuesday, but — breaking from recent norms — the bitcoin price was not leading the rally. That honor belonged to the ethereum price and litecoin price, each of whom surged to all-time highs and helped catalyze a record day for the altcoin markets.
Nevertheless, bitcoin did make a slight advance and coupled with the $20 billion altcoin rally, the total cryptocurrency market cap soared from $444.3 billion to $467.8 billion.
This, incidentally, makes the combined value of all cryptocurrencies worth more than Chinese technology conglomerate Alibaba, whose founder, Jack Ma recently said that bitcoin is “not for me.”
The bitcoin price rallied after U.S. exchange CBOE launched regulated bitcoin futures contracts on Sunday, but the most prominent cryptocurrency’s performance was a bit more tepid during the first full day of trading. After briefly rising above $17,500, the bitcoin price settled down to a present value of $16,906. This represents a daily increase of one percent and translates into a $283 billion market cap. January futures, meanwhile, were priced at $17,730 at the time of writing.
Notably, bitcoin futures trading currently represents little more than a blip in the market. While CBOE’s $50 million in first-day volume was respectable for a nascent asset class, it pales in comparison to the $12 billion in trades that bitcoin exchanges processed during the same period.
Although ethereum has been in a sustained uptrend throughout the year, it has been unable to match bitcoin’s gains during the fourth quarter. Consequently, it has gradually lost market share, and at one point its corner of the market dropped below 10 percent.
Tuesday brought investors a welcome change. The ethereum price leaped by 16 percent, punching through the $500 barrier and briefly extending as high as $553 — a new record — before ebbing back to a present value of $540. Ethereum now has a market cap of $52.1 billion, raising its market share to 11 percent.
More than three-quarters of the top 100 cryptocurrencies rose against the dollar on Tuesday, including every coin and token within the top 10. Many of these gains constituted double-digit percentage increases, which was all the more impressive considering that bitcoin only rose one percent.
The bitcoin cash price rose nearly seven percent, bringing the third-largest cryptocurrency back close to the $1,500 mark, but its performance was eclipsed by the new fourth-largest cryptocurrency: litecoin.
Just days ago, litecoin was trading in the bottom half of the top 10, but it has assembled a breathtaking rally since the weekend. In the past day alone, the litecoin price has soared more than 58 percent to a new all-time high of $260. Litecoin now has a market cap of $14.1 billion, placing it ahead of both IOTA and ripple in the rankings.
Despite losing a spot in the rankings, IOTA did post a double-digit percentage increase for the day, rising more than 13 percent to $4.90. Ripple, meanwhile, increased 11 percent to $0.275. The dash price climbed by 10 percent, bringing it within striking distance of $800, and monero posted a similar movement to bring its price near $300. Next to litecoin, the NEM price returned the best performance of any top 10 coin or token, leaping by 27 percent to $0.546. Bitcoin gold, however, rounded out the top 10 with an increase of just two percent.

Until recently, the practice of meditation has been traditionally relegated to the private study of those willing to be specially trained in a particular style or technique.
However, in the past 10 years, things have changed as meditation’s universal appeal and access has begun to broaden, and the real-world applications and neuroscience research has followed.
Even more interesting is exploring the valuable effects of combining frameworks and techniques from different contemplative traditions to improve emotional experiences and regulation.
A recent study published in the Journal of Emotions (2012) examined the emotional changes that can result from meditation practice and emotional intelligence training, by delivering a program to 82 female participants over 8 weeks.
The program covered 42 hours of meditation and emotion regulation training and included educational presentations, discussions related to emotions and life philosophies, and different secular meditations and contemplative skills. The participants were randomly assigned to either a training group or wait-list control group.
The study aimed to see how contemplative practice could reduce “destructive enactment of emotions,” and enhance pro-social responses through the development of emotional states such as compassion.
The study revealed that combining different meditation traditions was effective on many of the measures. The content of the program combined techniques from concentration mediation, mindfulness meditation, as well mettā meditation.
The training group reported reduced negative affect, rumination, depression, anxiety, and increased positive affect and mindfulness compared to the control group.
The training revealed a reduction in destructive emotions and coinciding behaviors such as hostility and other reactive behavioral responses.
As well, the meditation group demonstrated greater reduction in physiological arousal and had quicker recovery of their sympathetic nervous system when presented with tasks to induce stress.
Participants of the training group also showed increases in positive affect, such as compassion, when responding to images of suffering individuals, and showed greater ability to recognize facial expressions of emotions in others.
This study offers intriguing finding in support of the efficacy of different meditative techniques when it comes to emotional awareness and regulation. There isn’t necessarily any one type of meditation better than another. If you are of a more mystical bent, try Transcendental Meditation or take a class in Yoga. Herbert Bensen has a classic book, “The Relaxation Response,” which teaches a simple type of meditation. Mindfulness Meditation is also great.
Implementing meditation as a supplement to other mental health techniques can be a helpful and applicable practice, and there may be no better time to begin recognizing how meditation can be a perfect intervention to help people cope with the fast paced, technologically advanced society we live in today.

During the Principia mission Tim Peake published almost 400 pictures of our planet and life in the International Space Station. We know of three ways to to explore his pictures on a world map. They are all worth a visit as each have different scopes and features.
The first we will discuss is made by long-time contributor Dave Maclean who works at the Centre of Geographic Sciences in Canada and is an expert in Geographic Information Systems. His mantra is “a picture is worth 1000 words; a map is worth 1000 pictures; a Geographic Information System is worth 1000 maps”. He creates maps for each International Space Station Expedition with the astronaut’s images of Earth overlayed for you to explore. The maps are used in his courses to show students the potential of Geographic Information Systems and get them thinking about making their own projects.
Dave’s map is by far the most complete offering extra information and including images from Tim Peake’s colleagues – even the images taken by the mini-computer Astro Pi
Hit the link and start exploring: https://isspix.com/iss047
A third option is inside Tim Peake’s own Flickr page under the map section. This version shows the location of every image taken from the International Space Station by Tim Peake. When the image is of a place on Earth it is tagged to the place on our planet. If the image is of the inside of the Space Station it will show at the place it was taken. This allows you to see where Tim was over Earth when he took his famous selfie during his spacewalk. Zoom in and out to discover more markers, or use the images at the bottom to browse. The placements are not 100% accurate as they are dependant on the correct setting of the camera’s time. When a battery is swapped the time might have to be set again by hand so some margin of error can occur.

From the President: PMAS Links Groups of Unaffiliated Lawyers
From Washington Lawyer, May 2014
By Andrea Ferster
“How is it that we have so many people badly in need of a lawyer with no one to turn to, and at the same time, find that thousands of young lawyers are unemployed and underemployed? The access to justice paradox seems to defy the most basic laws of supply and demand.”
The latest news just in from the law schools is that barely half (56.2 percent) of their 2012 graduates were in jobs requiring bar passage, only a slight improvement over the previous year, when 54.9 percent of all 2011 graduates had full-time, long-term legal jobs nine months after graduation.
This dismal statistic has prompted much self-examination in the legal profession. The ABA has led the charge with a response that focuses both on our system of legal education and on initiatives to create opportunities for new lawyers.
To address the first prong, the ABA Task Force on Legal Education examined ways in which the academy can and should respond to the perfect storm facing recent law students: skyrocketing tuition, staggering debt, and dramatic changes in the market for jobs available to law graduates. And the ABA’s Task Force on Legal Access Job Corps is looking at innovative ways to connect these lawyers with the thousands of low- and moderate-income people who cannot afford to retain counsel.
The D.C. Bar already is ahead of the curve. For the past six years, the D.C. Bar Practice Management Advisory Service (PMAS) has helped Bar members to navigate the new market realities by offering practical training on how to open and manage an independent law practice. PMAS also has created opportunities for lawyers to develop the kinds of one-on-one professional relationships that can be crucial to success.
PMAS’ signature program is its Basic Training and Beyond: a free, two-day, interactive, practical program for D.C. Bar members that provides the tools, ethical guidance, and information needed to get a law office up and going in the District of Columbia. Basic Training is the brainchild of Dan Mills, the assistant director for PMAS, who is also a former solo practitioner. Dan proposed the program in 2008 after he began fielding more and more calls from lawyers who had left law firms as a result of the economic downturn and were looking to start their own law practices.
Basic Training explores subjects that are rarely discussed in law schools such as how to develop a business plan, draft a fee agreement, open Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts, and market yourself—all in conformity with the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct. Since 2008, more than 2,050 Bar members have attended the training, which was awarded the 2011 E. Smythe Gambrell Professionalism Award by the ABA Standing Committee on Professionalism. There is now a multiweek version of the class—“Successful Small Firm Practice”—that offers a more in-depth exploration of various issues involved in starting a small firm.
As entry-level hiring at law firms contracts, PMAS has become even more important. PMAS offers noon-time and after-work networking events, including a monthly networking dinner and lunch, and a series of “Lunch and Learn” brown bag programs at the Bar. Through these programs, lawyers can access practice tips ranging from how motions are heard in Family Court to how to access the court’s lawyers’ lounge.
Through the relationships developed in Basic Training and other events, PMAS is building a community of lawyers who are helping each other. Mentoring relationships are developed, advice is shared, and client referrals are exchanged. This community fills a deep void, providing the kind of personal guidance that would otherwise only be available in a firm or other organization.
PMAS offers other important services to Bar members, including law office assessments, a lending library of books and articles on practice management issues and sample forms, and an advisory hotline. PMAS maintains a library of video interviews with lawyers who have successfully launched independent practices.
Dan Mills, along with Senior Staff Attorney Rochelle Washington, stays connected with Basic Training alumni, reviewing their business plans and giving them advice on how to identify their own market or practice niche that allows them to distinguish their services successfully.
While PMAS’ programs, services, and networks provide much-needed support to the increasing number of lawyers turning to solo or small firm practice, some lawyers still feel at a loss when it comes to finding clients.
Eventually, these fledgling law practices will adapt to where the demand exists— providing affordable legal services to our low- and moderate-income neighbors. Indeed, solo practitioner Steven Krieger recently has started a Google group for lawyers offering “low bono” legal services (email@example.com).
The ABA recently announced the availability of catalyst grant funding for innovative projects designed to address the dual purpose of utilizing recent law school graduates to address the unmet legal needs of poor or moderate-income persons. The time is ripe for our legal community to seize this unique opportunity.

We've opened a Discord server, primarily as a means to get the CCL community in one place (and perhaps make it a bit easier to get games going) as well as a way for the community to contact the admin team, for streamers to advertise when they will be streaming, and for Cup participants to organise matches and to tell everyone when they will be playing. It's open to PC and PS4 (and XBOne if they join us) players alike. The link is here: https://discord.gg/7euU72q
For those who've not used it, Discord is a web- or app-based chat system which is being used a lot among gamers nowadays. It's got some great features and can be used on mobile as well as PC/Mac. | <urn:uuid:ac8a3c69-3958-4d2e-9694-1e411466dce7> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=9140&p=80883&sid=15bb37c19e721f49b0c1f41e37b1a3fd | 2018-09-21T20:07:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267157503.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20180921190509-20180921210909-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.97764 | 162 |
Martha Long says the following regarding the two sketches below of the Joshua Brown/Charlotte Morris clan. Notice that they give different places of origin for Joshua. Kathy Wells seems to think Maryland is correct:
It came out of the "Commemorative Biographical Encyclopedia of 'The Juniata Valley, comprising the Counties of Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata, and Perry, Pennsylvania'" published by J. M. Runk & Co of Chanbersburg, Pa in 1897. There are 2 sketches of interest. Joshua Brown, Selea, Huntingdon Cty with info about his father Caleb and grandfather Joshua native of Lancaster County, Pa married to Charlotte Morrison. Another sketch of Hiram Brown, Meadow Gap, Huntingdon Cty with info about his parests, John and Annie (Wagner) Brown and his grandfather Joshua Brown, native of Maryland, married to Charlotte Morris.
Below, provided by Kathy Wells, are the first page of the Joshua Brown bio (second page not included because it doesn't have any additional useful info) and both pages of the Hiram Brown bio:

In perhaps the most damning news for Labour since the BNP’s Nick Griffin threatened to vote for it, Brexiteer supremo and Ukip bankroller Arron Banks has defended Jeremy Corbyn against accusations of anti-Semitism in his party.
The founder of Leave.EU, whose campaign has run advertisements pitting Jewish and Muslim voters against each other, has tweeted that he sees the allegations as “a witch hunt!”:
“Is this about anti Semitism or removing Corbyn? Just asking….” Banks tweeted in relation to criticism of Corbyn and his allies, following the story of a Labour official blaming anti-Semitism claims on “Trump fanatics” in his party.
The bigoted boy of Brexit went on to dismiss the problem, as “every party has a few wrong oddballs”.
Your mole isn’t sure if Corbyn will be that keen on this particular political endorsement. | <urn:uuid:77f721b8-7a38-460b-9e10-b5de09542474> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2018/07/arron-banks-defends-jeremy-corbyn-anti-semitism-witch-hunt | 2021-10-16T00:49:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583087.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20211015222918-20211016012918-00633.warc.gz | en | 0.961714 | 192 |

Growing up will be difficult for this young German girl. She will have to look after her siblings, deal with the usual coming-of-age awkwardness, and come to terms with her parents’ roles in the greatest crimes of the 20th century.
Yet, viewers will never shake the awareness that millions had a far more terrifying road to travel than the title character of Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland’s German-language “Lore,” which opens this Friday in New York.
The war is in its final hours and the Allies are clearly going to win. This is distressing news for Hannelore’s mother and father. He is an SS officer. She is a leading academic apologist for the Third Reich.
Anticipating capture, her parents seem more concerned about burning documents (and shooting the dog) than their children’s safety. In fact, it falls to Lore to schlep her younger sister Liesel, twin brothers Jürgen and Günther, and the infant Peter almost 560 miles to the presumed safety of their grandmother’s house.
Somehow, Lore intuitively understands how profoundly their fortunes have reversed. Where once her parents’ positions in the regime gave the family influence and prestige, it is now a source of fear and shame.
Thinking it best to avoid the occupying forces and domestic opportunists, Lore takes her siblings through the Black Forest and over back roads as much as possible. Yet, even in their limited interaction with strangers, word reaches them of the horrors discovered at the concentration camps. People do not want to believe it, but Lore reluctantly realizes that there might just be something to it all.
Obviously, Lore and her charges are highly vulnerable to the malevolent drifters and deserters they encounter. However, they might find a protector in Thomas, whose papers identifying him as a former prisoner of the camps seem to provide him safe passage. He is a bit of a mystery man, but his interest in Lore is hard to misinterpret.
Rather faithfully based on the novella by Rachel Seiffert, the tone of “Lore” is closer to Andrea Arnold’s boldly reconceived “Wuthering Heights” than any traditional war or Holocaust drama. Yet, where the austere scenes of natural ruggedness root viewers in Arnold’s vision, that lack of context in “Lore” is glaringly distracting.
Yes, we know what has happened during the war, but “Lore” directly invites viewers to sympathize with a privileged daughter of the perpetrators. One cannot help suspect that if we were to see events from the eyes of a former prisoner of the camps, the forbidding wilderness scenes might look considerably less fearsome.
While it is intriguing to observe Lore process the moral implications of her parents’ actions and allegiances, it inevitably begs the question just how willfully blind was she while her parents’ Führer was in power?
Saskia Rosendahl is quite impressive as Lore, withstanding the open exposure of Shortland’s many quiet close-ups. Likewise, Kai Malina projects a genuine sense of danger as Thomas. However, the other assorted sister and brothers are more like props for Lore to drag about.
Agonizingly paced, “Lore” allows the audience too much time to analyze what is not there. As a result, the degree to which the film skirts the difficult realities of German war crimes becomes maddeningly conspicuous.
As a nature survival tale, “Lore” is rather slow and introverted. As a commentary on World War II, it is wholly incomplete. It works best as a coming-of-age story, but Rosendahl’s work is still not sufficient to earn it a forceful recommendation.

French company Fleurs d'Hiver (Winter Flowers) preserves a taste of the summer, combining honey and aromatic plants to create elegant tea infusions.
Behind the Brand
Fleurs d' Hiver was founded by design graduate Charlotte Baveral to produce a sustainable, small-batch range in collaboration with local producers. She was inspired by a herbalist who was passionate about bees and went on to create an infusion brand that would tell the story of honey's journey from flower to bee.
Charlotte's infusions are magical concoctions, providing comfort during long winter nights when fresh flowers are far from their summer bloom. From marigold to rose and verbena, these infusions not only create a soothing honey drink, they also look beautiful in a glass—the perfect marriage of design and nature. | <urn:uuid:e3abdedf-5575-49cd-b40a-8ad8f8cacebd> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://holdbrighton.com/collections/fleurs-dhiver | 2022-07-04T00:08:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104277498.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220703225409-20220704015409-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.93916 | 174 |

Okay, so this retrospective on my 2011 year of reading is posted a little farther into January than is usual for such posts. Hopefully, there are some readers out there still interested in reading this type of post.
Subtracting out books I did not finish, I read 66 books this year. Of the 66 books read, three were re-reads and five were graphic novels. I don’t set goals for number of books to read in a year, but I did note that this was less than 2010 (which was 86 books). The lower number is probably due to the fact that I read six books that were each over 500 pages long. Long live the chunksters!
I didn’t apply a rigorous statistical analysis to my books read, but I did see that I was about even with male vs. female authors. In 2010, I definitely read more books by women than by men. However, I was more curious to see how I did with non-fiction vs. fiction reads. In 2010, I was surprised that I read only 17 nonfiction books compared to 68 fiction reads. The ratio was much more pleasing to me in 2011: I read 23 nonfiction books and 44 fiction books. (If you’re wondering why that adds up to 67 instead of 66, it’s because I threw in Orhan Pamuk’s Istanbul since I was more than half done with that book before I gave up on it.)
And now let’s get away from the numbers and down to the good stuff – the highlights and trends of my reading year.
Harrowing Nonfiction Reads:
I think of 2011 in some ways as the year of the harrowing nonfiction read. I read books about post-Katrina New Orleans (Zeitoun), Ebola virus (The Hot Zone), and ‘ethnic cleansing’ in Bosnia (Safe Area Gorazde). Probably the top two harrowing nonfiction reads of the year were And the Band Played On by Randy Shilts (the early years of AIDS in America) and We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families by Philip Gourevitch (the 1994 Rwandan genocide). They were both such compelling works that really took me deeper into the details and facets of the incomprehensible tragedy they each describe.
Other nonfiction reads deserving of mention: the juicy and addictive Game Change by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin (about the 2008 U.S. presidential election), the thoughtful undercover project of Kevin Roose’s The Unlikely Disciple, and the engaging, highly informative The Hole at the Bottom of the Sea by Joel Achenbach (about the BP oil spill).
Books older than myself
I have an informal goal to keep reading books older than myself, and I read about 13 that fit the bill in 2011. The top two of this fine category were Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens and Claudine at School by Colette.
Connie Willis’ absolutely fun timetravel romp To Say Nothing of the Dog was one of the first great reads of 2011 for me and the last book that I finished in 2011 was China Mieville’s inventive Un Lun Dun. I feel that my year was nicely bookended by these two wonderful books.
Going back over my list of books read in 2011, a few titles stood out for me because I’d nearly forgotten that I’d read them: Tess Gerritsen’s The Surgeon, Georgette Heyer’s Frederica (sorry Heyer fans!) and a couple of others. On the flip side, I remember all too well, the slog that was Justin Cronin’s unnecessarily enormous The Passage.
I re-read three books this year and they were all superb and deserve a special shout-out. I hadn’t read Nevil Shute’s A Town Like Alice and Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey since I was a teenager and had thought them to be okay books at the time. I loved both of them this time around. In addition, there was the excellent Winter’s Bone by Daniel Woodrell which I’d read five years ago and thought one of my favorite books of the year back then. It was just as good this time too. The one flop in the re-read department was Eva Rice’s The Art of Keeping Secrets which I had found utterly charming several years ago, but just didn’t sparkle as much in my re-read and I put it away before I finished re-reading it.
And the winner is . . .
There are a lot of worthy books that I’ve left off mentioning, but I’ll content myself with the fact that I gave them good reviews during 2011. It wasn’t hard, though, to think of the number one book that I read last year and that was:
Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire’s Slaves by Adam Hochschild [my original review here]
Bury the Chains is a beautiful example of how well history can be written. I especially marvel at how the author showed the flaws of revered heroes and still managed to deliver an inspirational historical figure in abolitionist Thomas Clarkson. | <urn:uuid:85596b54-38db-4794-b443-dd7c267fcfc5> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://agoodstoppingpoint.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/a-look-back-at-books-read-in-2011/ | 2017-09-20T18:23:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687428.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20170920175850-20170920195850-00353.warc.gz | en | 0.972526 | 1,089 |

“I checked in with my vision of the lighthouse again. The lamp was turned off. The rocks and bricks and mortar that formed the solid structure of the lighthouse which represented our marriage, began to crumble. In a few weeks, the lighthouse was no more. It had returned to the ocean floor from whence it came, to be consumed by the depths and inhabited once again by the creatures of the sea.” | <urn:uuid:4ebed22b-6c35-4e4a-8d61-1e1d5b7aadfd> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.facebookbetrayal.com/ | 2016-07-27T01:07:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257825125.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071025-00274-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973852 | 166 |

You want to know your child who needs surgery is in the best hands. Kids’ bodies are completely different inside, and pediatric specialists know the difference. Pediatric anesthesiologists at CHOC Children’s, who lead your child’s surgery team, have compiled a list of questions commonly asked before surgery. Any question about your child is a good question. If there is ever anything you do not understand, ask your child’s surgery team. They are there to help.
Am I allowed to be with my child before surgery? If so, for how long?
Before surgery, you and your child will be taken to the pre-operative unit, or “pre-op.” A nurse will review the information needed to safely perform the child’s procedure. The surgeon and the anesthesiologist will evaluate your child and answer any questions you have. You will be asked to sign any necessary paperwork and then accompany the child to the operating room doors. After another hug and kiss, the team will assume care of your child.
Am I allowed to be with my child while anesthesia is being given?
You child’s safety is our biggest priority. Having a parent in the operating room can distract the team’s focus away from your child. To ensure the safest environment possible for your child, you will be taken to the waiting room.
Will my child have pain when getting an IV?
Depending on the child’s age and planned procedure, we may start an IV in the pre-op unit. An IV is a small plastic tube inserted into the vein and used to deliver medication. Depending on the age of your child, a small amount of anti-anxiety medicine may be given orally before placement of the IV. The staff will also use special numbing medicine to reduce the discomfort of IV insertion. A child life specialist will provide age-appropriate distractions such as books, games, or bubbles to aid in the process.
What kind of anesthesia will my child be given?
Anesthesia is broken down into three main categories: General, Regional, and Local.
General anesthesia makes and keeps a person completely unconscious (or “asleep”) during the operation. It can be administered through an IV, or by inhaling an anesthesia gas delivered by mask.
Regional anesthesia is when a drug is injected near the spinal cord, numbing a large area of the body. An example is an epidural. It is often combined with general anesthesia in kids and used for pain control after the surgery.
Local anesthesia numbs a small, specific area of the body- for example, a foot, hand or patch of skin. It can be given as a shot, spray or ointment. Local anesthesia is often used to reduce the pain after surgery.
The anesthesia your child receives is tailored to their needs and depends on factors including:
The type of surgery
The location of the surgery (hospital, outpatient surgery center or doctor’s office)
How long the surgery will take
Current and previous medical condition
Previous reactions to anesthesia (in your child or family members)
Medications your child is currently taking
Age, height and weight
No matter which type of anesthesia your child receives, your anesthesiologist will be available before, during and after the operation to monitor the medications your child receives and ensure they are receiving the right amounts.
Will my child be sedated before anesthesia is given?
Your child may receive medication to help them remain calm and feel sleepy before the procedure or surgery. This medication is usually given by mouth and before starting the IV. Many children are curious about the operating room and prefer to experience falling asleep in the OR, so they skip the sedative.
Will my child still have an IV in or be hooked up to any monitors or equipment after surgery is over?
Your child will usually wake up with their IV in place. This is helpful as additional medications are sometimes needed to treat pain or nausea. Your child will also wake up with several monitors that help the anesthesiologists and nurses monitor your child’s recovery from anesthesia. These monitor blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels. As your child recovers from anesthesia, the IV and monitors will be removed.
How long will it take my child to fully wake up from general anesthesia?
The anesthesiologist will begin to “wake up” your child after the surgery is completed. This amount of time varies from child to child and is dependent on their medical history and type of surgery performed. This can take up to an hour, and most children wake up in the recovery room (also referred to as the post anesthesia care unit, or PACU) in a shorter amount of time. Full recovery can take up to several hours.
How soon after the surgery can I see my child?
After the surgery is completed, the surgeon will speak with you in the Tidwell Procedure Center lobby. It may take an additional 20 to 30 minutes for the nursing staff and anesthesiologist to recover your child from anesthesia before having you enter the recovery room (PACU).
How soon after the surgery can my child eat, drink, go to school, or drive [if you have a teen]?
If your child is going home after surgery, the nurse will offer your child a snack and drink in the recovery room. No driving for teens the day of surgery. The surgeon will provide a school note if time off is required. If a hospital stay is required, and depending on the procedure, the surgeon will order the appropriate diet.
How soon after the surgery can my child go home?
Children usually spend 30-90 minutes in the recovery room. Patients heading home will be provided a discharge plan. This plan may include instructions on how to take care of the operative site, what medications to take, what your child should eat that day, and what activities the child may participate in. It will also have instructions on what to look out for and when to call the doctor. Download a copy of the discharge questions worksheet.
You will receive a phone call from a CHOC nurse within 72 hours of the patient’s discharge from the hospital. Our nurse will ask about how the child is feeling and will be able to answer any additional questions you may have.
Having surgery at a hospital can be a scary thought for children and parents, alike. Knowing what to expect can help alleviate fear and anxiety. The photos below highlight some key aspects of the patient and family journey through the Tidwell Procedure Center at CHOC Children’s Hospital.
Welcome to CHOC Children’s Hospital – a hospital for children and teens, only. When a child requires surgery, his needs are different than an adult. CHOC has specialized in pediatric surgery since we welcomed our first patient in 1964. Today, our nationally recognized surgeons perform the latest procedures using equipment customized to pediatric patients, from newborns to adolescents.
After checking in at our first floor lobby, surgical patients and their families are directed to our Tidwell Procedure Center, which includes seven operating rooms, five procedure rooms and two cardiac catheterization labs. The Center boasts leading-edge technology and safety features, as well as a calm, healing environment. Here’s the Center’s bright, colorful lobby, featuring natural light, bubble columns and interesting artwork. There’s also a family room and playroom.
We want our patients and their siblings to still have the opportunity to act like kids while facing the adult issues of surgery. In addition to a playroom in the lobby, we have an area for play, stocked with books and toys in pre-op. Dedicated child life specialists help normalize the experience by making the environment less strange. Providing distraction and developmentally appropriate education, child life specialists are important members of the surgical team.
Child life specialists are at the bedside to provide developmentally appropriate education. Patients are able to see pictures of the operating rooms on iPads, which helps to limit stress and anxiety without the use of medication.
Before heading into the operating room, patients stop at what is affectionately called the “kissing spot.” Here’s where they can say “see you later” to their loved ones before “taking a nap” for surgery.
Child life specialists escort patients into the operating rooms and to provide distraction and emotional support while pediatric anesthesiologists and other staff members prepare patients for surgery.
Following surgery, patients recover in our PACU (post anesthesia care unit). As soon as the patient is stabilized, parents/legal guardians are escorted into the area. During this time, patients need as much rest as possible to help their bodies heal and give pain medication time to take effect. The environment is kept calm and quiet. From here, the patient will either be taken to a hospital room, or discharged home.
Our physicians, nurses and staff are dedicated to getting kids better and back to their normal activities as quickly as possible. Patients and families are our partners in this effort; knowing what to expect before, during and after surgery can make a big difference on the experience and recovery.

By Dr. Peter T. Yu, pediatric general and thoracic surgeon at CHOC Children’s
5:00 a.m.: Alarm rings. I hit snooze once, for an additional 9 minutes of peace. Then it is time to get up and at ’em. In the dark, I attempt to avoid injuring myself on the various toys that are strewn about the house–one of the hazards that comes with raising young children. I start the coffee maker, brush my teeth, shave, get dressed and kiss my slumbering family good-bye. Then it is off to swim practice.
7 a.m.: Swim practice is over. Fatigued but happy, I shower and joke with the teammates on my masters swim team. I am grateful for my health and momentarily enjoy the small personal accomplishment of having completed my workout for the day.
7:30 a.m.: After navigating moderate traffic and enjoying NPR, I arrive at CHOC. I meet with the very kind family of my first patient, a 5-year-old boy who is having inguinal hernia/hydrocele surgery today. In children, an inguinal hernia is a small, congenital opening in the groin that allows communication between the abdomen and the scrotum in boys and the labia in girls. Thus, things like fluid, fat, omentum or intestines can pass through this opening, creating a bulge and sometimes causing pain. A hydrocele is related to an inguinal hernia and is due to fluid that has passed from the abdomen, through the opening, and into the scrotum. Inguinal hernias occur in about 1-5 percent of all children. Hernia and hydrocele surgery are routine operations for all pediatric general and thoracic surgeons and, as expected, the operation goes smoothly.
9:00 a.m.: For my second operation of the day, Dr. Mustafa Kabeer, a fellow pediatric general and thoracic surgeon, and I perform a minimally invasive Nuss procedure on a teen athlete. This patient, who hopes to earn a college scholarship, has pectus excavatum or sunken chest, the most common congenital chest wall abnormality in children. For many, this is far more than a cosmetic problem. Using small incisions that will ultimately be well-hidden in this patient’s armpits, we are able to insert a metal bar between his heart and his chest wall that helps to pop the sternum out into normal position. This bar will stay in place for three years, before it is removed in an outpatient procedure. Our operation today took only 2 small incisions and 45 minutes of operating time. We prefer the minimally invasive Nuss procedure to the older, more invasive Ravitch procedure since it achieves a wonderful outcome with less pain, minimal blood loss and only tiny, hidden scars.
10:00 a.m.: As the anesthesiologist and the operating room staff prepare for my final case of the day, I walk over to the surgical neonatal intensive care unit and medical/surgical unit to make rounds and touch base with my team of excellent, experienced surgical nurse practitioners (NPs). Not a day goes by that I am not thankful for their contributions to the outstanding care of our surgical patients at CHOC. Currently, on the surgical floor, I have patients who have recently had appendectomies, a cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder), lysis of adhesions (cutting of intra-abdominal scar tissue) to treat a small bowel obstruction, port placement for chemotherapy, and a Nissen fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease. In the NICU I have one baby with congenital diaphragmatic hernia whom I recently placed on ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), state-of-the-art technology that supports the heart and lungs by taking over the heart’s pumping function and the lung’s oxygen exchange. A second patient of mine in the NICU is a baby who recently had esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula surgery to repair a congenital defect where the trachea, or windpipe, abnormally communicates with the esophagus, or food tube. Fortunately, all patients are doing well, I am able to address the questions of each of my patients and their parents, and the NPs and I come to a consensus on the plan of care for the day for each one.
10:30 a.m.: Once rounds are done, I head back to the operating room for my final case of the day, a thoracoscopic lung lobectomy. This is one of my most favorite operations and is my area of expertise. This 3-month-old patient was diagnosed prenatally when an ultrasound showed a congenital lung lesion, also known as a CPAM (congenital pulmonary airway malformation, formerly known as CCAM). This diagnosis is becoming more and more prevalent, occurring in about 1 in every 5,000 babies. Fortunately, more than 90 percent will be symptom-free during pregnancy and after birth, allowing pediatric general and thoracic surgeon such as myself to hold off on surgery until the infant is a few months old and better able to tolerate the stress of an operation. Even though infants with CPAMs may be asymptomatic, it is still recommended that these lesions be removed because they can often become infected and, in rare instances, may become a cancer later in life. The benefit of operating sometime during the first several months of life is that the CPAM has yet to become infected, making surgery easier and allowing for a minimally invasive removal. Thanks to the patient’s young age, the remaining portion of her healthy lung will grow in size and compensate for the removed lobe.
Thoracoscopic lung lobectomy is extremely technically challenging because the surgeon navigates major blood vessels such as the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein, and operating time can vary from two to six hours depending on a patient’s particular anatomy. Fortunately, this little baby’s anatomy is favorable and I am able to complete the minimally invasive operation in about 2 hours with minimal blood loss and an excellent outcome. After surgery, I have the privilege of giving her parents good news, which is always the best part of my work day. I anticipate that she will have a two-day hospital stay with minimal pain and no complications, and her tiny scars will ultimately be unnoticeable by others (except for mom! Pediatric surgeons know that moms see everything J).
1:00 p.m.: I have a quick lunch with my NPs and Dr. David Gibbs, another pediatric general and thoracic surgeon at CHOC who is also the medical director of trauma. He has established the excellent trauma program we have here, the only trauma center in Orange County that is exclusively dedicated to children. We take a moment to enjoy each other’s company, get trusted input on current clinical situations, and catch our breaths from this very typical, fast-paced workday.
2:00 p.m.: I participate in a fetal counseling session. Given my special training in fetal surgery, I work closely with community perinatologists (also known as high-risk obstetricians or MFMs–maternal fetal medicine physicians) to counsel expectant mothers and fathers on what to expect when their baby has been diagnosed in utero with a condition that will require surgery.
Today, I meet with parents whose daughter has been prenatally diagnosed with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, or CDH. Simply put, CDH is a hole in the diaphragm, which is the muscle that divides the abdomen from the chest. The diaphragm helps us breathe, and a hole here allows things that are normally in the abdomen, such as the liver or intestines, to pass into the chest. Besides potentially compromising the intestine itself, this can also lead to small lungs (pulmonary hypoplasia) which may not be able to adequately oxygenate the body. Another severe consequence of CDH is pulmonary hypertension, which is abnormally high pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs. This is a problem because a newborn’s heart must work extra hard to pump blood into this abnormal high-pressure system, which can lead to heart failure and death if not appropriately treated.
I go over the diagnosis with mom and dad, and explain to them that, after birth, their baby will require a breathing tube and ventilator to support her small lungs. Special inhaled and intravenous medications will be used to decrease the high blood pressure in the blood vessels in the lungs and to help support her beating heart. If these measures are not enough, we will need to use ECMO. If ECMO is needed, I will perform a surgery to make an incision on her neck to access her carotid artery and jugular vein so that ECMO catheters can be placed.
Ultimately, once their daughter’s heart and lung condition has stabilized—which may take days to weeks after birth—I will repair the congenital diaphragmatic hernia. To do this, I will make an incision on the abdomen, move the intestines and liver from the chest back into the abdomen, and stitch the hole closed.
I am careful to be upfront and honest about the situation: CDH is a serious and frequently life-threatening condition and the national average for survival is approximately 65 percent. Their daughter will likely require a two to three month stay in our NICU and may need to go home with supplemental oxygen and special medications for a period of time. However, I’m able to reassure them as well. Nearly 90 percent of newborns that have this surgery at CHOC survive. At CHOC, we are fully equipped and have the expertise to handle any possible outcome, thanks in part to our surgical NICU, the only one of its kind of the west coast.
Mom and dad are tearful at the gravity of their daughter’s situation but they also express how grateful they are for the opportunity to learn more about CDH, have their questions answered, and leave feeling better prepared for the next steps. They know they can contact us at any time, day or night, and we will be there to address any problem and provide support. They also feel relieved that they will be surrounded by familiar, trusted faces when their daughter is born.
3:00 p.m.: I head back to my office with some precious time to complete some homework—yes, I said homework—and work on research projects. Believe it or not, I have gone back to school to get my Master of Public Health degree from Johns Hopkins University. This is feasible because I am able to complete the majority of my coursework online. I wanted to get this additional degree to gain knowledge and experience in outcomes research, a relatively new branch of public health research that seeks to understand the end results of particular health care practices and interventions. While pursuing this degree, I am simultaneously working on outcomes research projects with my research partner, Dr. Yigit Guner, another pediatric general and thoracic surgeon at CHOC. Together we are utilizing large national databases to create risk calculators that can help better predict CDH outcomes, as well as predictoutcomes in other neonatal diseases such as VACTERL (vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, trachea-esophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities).
6:00 p.m.: I head home for the day. En route, I call my mother who lives out-of-state to check in. My father recently passed away after a long struggle with illness and I just want to make sure she’s doing alright. She assures me that she is, and stubbornly resists my suggestions to have her move to Orange County. She is happy and comfortable in her home, which makes me happy as well, but I am concerned that I will be unable to adequately help her in the years to come should her health someday fail.
6:30 p.m.: I’m happy to be home with my family. It’s dinner time and I’m famished. I relish the chance to catch up on the day’s events with my wife and kids. I play with the kids for a bit and then it is time to help my oldest with homework. After that, my wife and I get all the kids ready for bed and tuck them in.
9:00 p.m.: My wife and I finally have a precious moment to ourselves. We watch a favorite TV show together and I barely make it to the end before falling asleep. It feels so good to lie in bed, with the cool night breeze filtering in through my bedroom window. I dream of my family, work and old friends. Tomorrow, I have clinic and then I will spend the remainder of the day and night in the hospital, as I am on call for any pediatric general, thoracic and trauma emergencies that come to CHOC. I feel so blessed to have the family that I have, and to be able to do the meaningful work that I do.
Finding out that your child needs surgery can be scary for parents to hear. You want to know that your child is in the best hands possible, and the nationally ranked surgeons and pediatric anesthesiologists at CHOC Children’s specialize in the care of kids. Your child’s pediatric anesthesiologist is not only an important member of your child’s surgery team but also the entire perioperative experience (before, during, and after surgery).
7 things you may not know about pediatric anesthesia:
Before surgery, the preoperative area is the location where you will meet your child’s full surgical team. During this time, questions about your child’s medical and surgical history will be asked and the perioperative plan is adjusted to fit your child’s medical needs.
It is normal for children to feel anxious before surgery. Premedication for anxiety may be administered, either orally or intravenously prior to surgery. This may require the help of a parent. The goal of premedication is to reduce the anxiety and facilitate a smoother transition to general anesthesia. Evidence shows that easing a child’s anxiety prior to heading into surgery may limit the emotional disturbances felt during recovery after surgery. Child life specialists are also available, and may use distraction, video or music therapy to calm an anxious patient.
Anesthesiologists will use a multimodal approach to pain management when appropriate. In addition to pain management during surgery and in the recovery room, a particular child and surgery may qualify for a regional anesthesia procedure or “pain block” that will help control postoperative pain during the days following surgery.
For younger children who meet specified criteria, an inhalational technique may be used to initiate general anesthesia. This technique administers anesthesia through a mask (with a flavor of your child’s choosing) and avoids the placement of an IV until after your child is asleep. For older children, an IV may be placed in the preoperative area after receiving anti-anxiety medicine in oral form. This allows general anesthesia to be administered in IV form.
You know you’re not supposed to eat or drink anything before surgery. But do you know why? When general anesthesia is administered, your muscles relax, including the muscles in your stomach and esophagus. The body’s reflex to swallow is also briefly suspended during anesthesia. This combination makes the lungs vulnerable to aspiration of food, which can be very dangerous. Abstaining from food for 8 hours prior to surgery is very important for the safety of anesthesia for your children.
Common side effects of general anesthesia include nausea, vomiting, itchiness and something called emergence delirium. Emergence delirium lasts 5-15 minutes and happens during the process of waking up. It usually goes away on its own but can be very concerning for parents because your child may not recognize or respond to you. If your child experiences any of these symptoms after a procedure, their care team will be available to provide appropriate medication to treat those side effects.
Difficulty sleeping may occur for a few nights after a surgical procedure. Night terrors are a common occurrence in children ages 3-6 who have had ear, nose and throat procedures. This difficulty sleeping is often troubling for parents but will typically resolve after a few days and requires no additional treatment. Maintaining a consistent bedtime routine as well as eliminating sources that may interfere with sleep (caffeine, sugar, high energy activities and electronics before bedtime) may help in dealing with these disturbances.
The more information you have, the calmer you and your child will be prior to surgery. Parents are encouraged to ask as many questions as possible when you meet their child’s anesthesiologist, before or after surgery.
In the video below, a pediatric general and thoracic surgeon answers parents’ most common questions about surgery and anesthesia:
Noticing a skin lump on a child can be scary for parents, and it’s easy to automatically assume the worst. Fortunately, most skin lumps are benign and not a major cause for concern, according to Dr. Saeed Awan, a pediatric general and thoracic surgeon at CHOC Children’s.
Some children are born with skin lumps, and some lumps appear later. The majority of patients with skin lumps will not have any other symptoms, but they can include pain, bleeding, redness, loss of appetite and night sweats. Surgery is often recommended in order to remove these skin lumps, to avoid the risk of infection.
VIDEO: Dr. Mutafa Kabeer, pediatric general and thoracic surgeon at CHOC Children’s, explains in why skin lumps occur in children and how they are treated:
Lymph nodes are the most common lumps that parent notice and worry about. Most parents find lymph nodes in the neck area but can also notice them around the ears and at the back of the skull.
“A pea-sized, rubbery node beneath the skin is nothing to worry about,” says Dr. Awan. “Healthy lymph nodes fluctuate in size- they grow and they shrink, but bad lymph nodes keep growing and are not subtle.”
A lymph node over one centimeter in diameter needs further investigation by a medical professional, especially when associated with loss of weight or appetite, fever or night sweats.
Dermoid cysts, another common lump, typically appear at the part of the eyebrow closest to the temple, but can occur in the middle (midline) of the neck or in the upper chest area. They are rubbery and the size of a pea. These cysts generally do not pose a hazard to your child’s health, but are typically removed to prevent infection. A midline dermoid cyst on the scalp needs more investigation from a pediatric surgeon.
Another common lump is pilomatrixoma, which usually appears on the face, neck or arms, and originates in the hair follicles. It usually manifests as a solitary, asymptomatic, firm nodule.
Hemangiomas develop in the skin when there is an abnormal buildup of blood vessels. This can occur at birth or shortly after. These lumps may increase in size during the first year and then go away on their own over the next three to four years. Most of these do not require surgery unless they are blocking the airway, vision or nostril. Lymphangiomas are rare, but are characterized by swelling on the side of neck.
Thyroglossal cysts are the most common cause of midline neck masses and are generally located just below the hyoid bone, yet these neck masses can occur anywhere along the path of the thyroid gland.
Branchial cysts and sinuses are swelling on the side of the neck. They are typically removed in order to prevent infection. There are pre-auricular sinuses or skin tags. All of these need to be removed to prevent infection
If you see a skin lump on your child, consult your primary care doctor. If the lump changes size or color, or there is pain associated with the bump, or your child also experiences weight loss or appetite loss, night sweats or a fever, urgent evaluation and further investigation is needed.

§ 58. Mr. Strang
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much money was spent by his Department last year on activities connected with nuclear waste management.248W
§ Mr. Trippier
It is not possible to provide information in the form requested. My Department spent an estimated £8 million in 1989–90 on research related to nuclear waste management and an estimated £500,000 in 1988–89 on regulating nuclear establishments under the Radioactive Substances Act 1960.
§ Mr. Simon Hughes
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps the radiochemical inspectorate branch of Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution takes to keep county councils informed of permissions to dispose of low-level radioactive waste within their areas; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Trippier
Low-level radioactive waste may be disposed of only under the strict terms of authorisations issued by HM IP under the Radioactive Substances Act 1960. Consultation with local and other public authorities is required by the Act before authorisations are issued in respect of nuclear licensed sites and promises occupied by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. Consultation is also required by the Act where disposal from non-nuclear premises requires special precautions to be taken by local and public authorities. This statutory consultation has been extended administratively to cover these disposals where they take place on private landfill sites or on authorised premises.
In addition to this, and except for reasons of national security, copies of all certificates of authorisation are sent to local authorities, including county councils, in whose area the disposal is to take place, normally 28 days before the authorisation takes effect. | <urn:uuid:d625d461-d7c6-4a1b-8158-2b5f48bb2d6c> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/written_answers/1990/may/23/nuclear-waste-1 | 2014-09-21T04:05:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657134514.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011214-00218-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.942021 | 337 |

NFL Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett hasn't put on a Dallas Cowboys uniform in more than a decade, but that doesn't mean he can't see what's wrong with his former team.
After all, he said, the basics of the game haven't changed that much.
''They don't look very good right now,'' said Dorsett, who was in Lubbock Friday promoting the new internet provider ISP33.com, of which he is part owner. ''I don't know if that's because of not getting quality work in training camp.
''I think that might have something to do with it. They just don't seem to be getting the quality work as far as repetition in training camp.
''But I don't see the fear factor like it used to be, from the guy that's sitting in the authoritative positions, i.e., the head coach. When (former coach) Jimmy Johnson was there, there were guys that were afraid to do certain little things, and Jimmy wasn't tolerating silly little mistakes. I just don't see all of that.''
Dorsett, who rushed for more than 12,000 yards from 1977 to 1987 for the Cowboys, also sees a confidence problem with the team, something that has led Dallas to having one of the worst defenses in the league as well as its inability to run the ball effectively.
Emmitt Smith, who broke all of Dorsett's rushing records with the Cowboys, has a little more than 200 yards rushing on the year, while two of the four Cowboys' opponents have had a running back rush for more than 200 in the game.
''There's no question in my mind there's got to be a lot of frustration going on,'' Dorsett said. ''Because on paper, they're a much better team than what they've shown, and the way they're going to get through this is pulling together as a team."
''All the commentaries that other people are saying is they're dead, it's over. The only way they're going to pull out of this is us against them and work their butts off. They've got to make believers out of themselves before they can make believers out of anybody else.''
And that belief starts at the top with head coach Dave Campo. Dorsett feels Campo, a Johnson pupil, has the ability to pull the Cowboys out of this funk, but only if given the right tools and leeway to get the job done.
''If Dave Campo is given the authority, I feel Dave Campo will get the job done,'' Dorsett said. ''Given the opportunity to make decisions, personnel decisions, things of that nature, he can get the job done. But from my vantage point, it doesn't seem like he has that kind of authority. And that makes things difficult for a head coach.''
Until then, however, Dorsett said fans need to be patient and be supportive.
''One of the sad things from the Cowboys' fans perspective is to see Troy Aikman get booed last week,'' Dorsett said. ''The whole team is not playing well and the quarterback gets a lot of the glory when they win and takes a lot of the blame when they lose. But there have been three world championships that man helped bring to Dallas. To get that kind of response from the fans is kind of sickening.''

You can't change what you refuse to confront...
We all have problems or situations we would like to change. Most of us have prayed and beg for things to change, but unless you take the time to look deep enough at the ugliest part of the problem nothing will ever change they will just repeat themselves. I am sure you have seen the patterns and I bet you are even aware that the problem may have something to do with a choice you are making, but unless you choose to confront that darkness it will always be there. So which do you want to live? A slow agonizing painful life? Or a life that progresses, changes, and evolves into something worth being proud of? Confrontation is easier and quicker than most people give it credit for. If you sucked it up and looked at the painful side of yourself, your dark side, you'd be able to at least admit the problem. Once you look at it and see it's there the pain spreads everywhere, usually at a much quicker rate, but its also the quickest way to start healing and finally putting the band-aide on. In life we all have choices. We get so angry and disgusted with others when we see them make choices that we do not agree with, but what if those people knew about our bad choices? Would they say and think the same things about us? If we are ok with looking at the dark ugliness is others, something we do not have the power to change or fix, they why aren't we ok with looking at our own darkness that we do have the power to fix! If you want change then confront the things that are stopping it from happening! | <urn:uuid:2bafa367-abed-4e41-9a4b-918b157cc9c3> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://awisesouloncesaid.blogspot.com/2013/06/we-all-have-problems-or-situations-we.html | 2017-03-29T01:27:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218190134.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212950-00115-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973044 | 360 |
WELCOME and Thank-you for visiting the Oldham County Health Department home page. VISION STATEMENT: Bullitt County Health Department will turn into an accredited leader among local well being departments in Kentucky within the areas of prevention, protection and well being promotion.
In an effort to track the presence of West Nile Virus, the Boone County Health Department is asking residents to call our office at 815-544-2951, Ext. During those early years, the division consisted of 1 part-time well being officer, 10 to 15 nurses, and three to five public well being specialists. Worcester County Health Department encourages all residents to, Don’t Wait, Communicate, Make Your Emergency Plan Today, as a part of National Preparedness Month this September. The lovely greens have been harvested by facility gardener, Marty Trosper, from the Chatham County Health Department’s organic backyard. Women’s Health Services in Chatham Co. Women’s Health Services (previously often called Family Planning services) are provided immediately by your local well being department. This particular division additionally interacts instantly with individuals in the neighborhood. If polluted water is tested in a water high quality analysis laboratory there are a selection of tell-story modifications you will discover.
The Registry is truly a final resort, but when a hurricane is threatening our area, it is vital that health division officials know the place probably the most vulnerable residents are located so that evacuation assistance can be provided to them.

The Missouri Supreme Court is considering whether the “baseball rule” applies to an eye injury caused accidentally by the Kansas City Royals’ mascot Sluggerrr, who flung a foil-wrapped hot dog that struck the left eye of John Coomer. Although this seemingly harmless act would ordinarily be of no consequence, the foiled hot dog hit the left eye of Mr. Coomer, requiring two eye surgeries. He has a serious eye injury today with vision deficit.
The “baseball rule” is a legal standard that protects sports teams from being sued over fan injuries caused by events on the field. The issue in this case, now pending a decision before the Missouri Supreme Court, is whether the rule would apply to injuries caused by a mascot or other personnel the teams employ to entertain sports fans.
The case was first before a Jackson County, Mo., jury two years ago. The jury sided with the Royals, stating that Coomer was completely at fault for his injury because he wasn’t aware of what was going on around him. However, on appeal, the jury’s verdict was overturned; the ruling stated that although being struck by a baseball is an inherent risk fans assume at games, being hit in the face and eye by a hot dog is not one of those.
The Missouri Supreme Court heard oral arguments in September and is now considering both the written briefs and oral argument in making its decision. No timeline has been disclosed. The case is being closely watched. In the event that the Missouri Supreme Court decides in favor of the Kansas City Royals, it would likely set a standard that the entertainment part of a game is a part of playing baseball and would prevent any future lawsuits against sports teams.
On the other hand, if the case goes in favor of Mr. Coomer, it would open the way to other fan injury cases being successful if the injury were related to personnel entertaining fans rather than the game itself.

How & why to become a master blog commenter
Today’s idea is to become a master blog commenter.
Not a master blogger, that was last week’s idea. A master blog commenter.
You see, if you want to create more content partnerships and send more traffic back to your website, then you should seriously consider going out of your way to regularly comment on other blog posts from other companies around the web.
More often than not, when you leave a comment on a blog post, you get the opportunity to leave your website’s address – other blog visitors then read your comment, and if it’s any good, may well click on it and next thing you know, boom!, they’re on your website.
Here’s my 3-steps to doing exactly that:
- Find reputable blogs to leave comments on. You may already know some, you may need to ask others in your industry, you could search on Google, or (if you want to spend a few bucks) you could use BuzzSumo, which helps you find key influencers to promote your content.
- Aim to leave two comments per week on other businesses blogs. And I don’t mean shallow comments like “Wow, great blog post!”. Go hard, add something new to the conversation. Maybe it’s an additional idea, maybe you have an opposing view … just make sure your comment has some depth.
- Share the blog posts you comment on with your social media followers. Not only might they find it interesting, but the blogger will appreciate it and you’ll end up on their radar going forward. I gotta tell you, as a blogger myself, I absolutely love it when someone leaves a comment on one of my posts.
Pro-Tip: Bookmark the blogs you comment on and make a point to revisit them often. Or if you can, register to receive each new post as they get posted.

I don't think anyone would be interested in seeing those pics. The before would be hideous considering my surgery was at 7:20 in the morning and I am NOT a morning person. And the after would be pretty gross but probably quite funny considering the anestesia didn't completely ware off untill late Sunday. That's my excuse anyway, for taking 5 naps a day and running into walls. :) Which, by the way I am proud to say I have not done since Monday. :)))
Plus Pavlos, there's always that tricky matter with my undefeated scanner. Still can't figure the bastard out.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 18, 2011
Halifax, NS - Just three days before the anniversary of the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico, environmental leader Mary Gorman of the Save Our Seas and Shores Coalition won the top prize at TVO's Green Heroes contest yesterday in Toronto. Mary was selected by the grand jury from seven category winners in the national contest. Winning the Grand Prize means Mary and the need to protect the Gulf of St. Lawrence from oil and gas will be featured profile on TVOs Green Heroes series next fall.
"What happened? What happened was they said 'and the winner is...' and they called my name!" said an exuberant Mary Gorman, contacted just after the awards ceremony at Toronto's Green Living Show, "On a more serious note, to be selected from such an eminent list of activists, innovators and experts means the judges recognized that the fight to stop oil and gas in the Gulf has national and even international significance. For this, I could not be more grateful."
Ms. Gorman added,"The fact that this award was announced just three days before the anniversary of the spill in the Gulf of Mexico means we all need to reflect on what risks we are taking with our precious Gulf of St. Lawrence."
The Gulf of St. Lawrence is currently threatened with oil and gas drilling, which could begin as soon as next year. Meanwhile, a coalition of environmental, Aboriginal, and fisheries groups are working hard to stop this risky development in its tracks.
"I nominated Mary because her spirit embodies what we love about the Gulf itself: it is powerful, beautiful, and unique," says Gretchen Fitzgerald, Director of the Atlantic Canada Chapter of Sierra Club Canada, "I am thrilled that this award recognizes all that Mary has done and continues to do to protect the environment. It should also inspire us all to meet her challenge: to stop oil in the Gulf."
Sierra Club Atlantic issued a questionnaire to all federal leadership candidates in Atlantic Canada today, asking them to state what they will do to protect the Gulf of St. Lawrence, an ecosystem bounded by five provinces.

At Spartan Race HQ we are lucky enough to receive inspiring stories from all over the world of athletes who have faced adversity only to come back stronger and more determined than ever. I recently received this story about eighteen-year-old Ella Anne Kociuba and I knew her story would inspire. After a horrific injury she has battled back and her story of triumph and success is one you won’t soon forget. Here is her story in her own words.
My names Ella Anne Kociuba, I am eighteen years old and currently attending a community college in Austin, Texas. I have big plans for the future (I hope to one day be the image of Spartan Racing and become a professional athlete/writer). I would like to explain my story to you so that those who are struggling can see the light in even the darkest of times.
Throughout my young life I have been faced with chronic pain that caused me to have a new outlook on everything. It quickly challenged me with the worst, but slowly developed me into my best. For years doctors could not tell me what was wrong with me or why my body was failing me. I can not stress to you in a few words the pain I felt, the nights I did not rest, and the moments I missed out on due to an injury that nearly ended my athletic pursuits.
I've been a competitive horse-back rider since a little one, and when I was thirteen years old I was seriously involved with endurance riding (25-50 Mile cross country horse races). I trained hard but one day I suffered a horrible accident. My horse spooked and threw me off its back and Ianded hard on the sharp rocks below knocking me unconscious. I was broken and crippled. Doctor’s informed me that I had broken the L4 and L5 vertebrae. I was monumentally depressed at the bleak outlook.
It became an endless cycle of doctors, treatments, back braces, and medications. Everything seemed hopeless. Nothing was helping and I knew I was progressively getting worse. The pain was unbearable. I couldn’t function. But, finally, after six doctor’s a specialist informed me that it was possible I’d never walk again. Performing an experimental surgery and nine hours later, six rods and four screws aligned in my spine I awoke a new person.
The journey from that wasn’t an easy one. It took me a year to recover the precious strength I’d lost and be ready to think about competing in sports again; something I was told I’d never do. This was a mere five years ago.
Since that day, I’ve pushed hard always keeping my head forward, eyes up, and overcoming any challenge in front of me. Because I truly believe that you can do anything if you give it your everything.
I recently did my first Super Spartan race in Glenn Rose, Texas. I performed well and managed to come out as first female in my heat. It was one of the happiest moments ever for me. Not only had I completed the Super Spartan obstacle race, and won my heat, but I had fallen in love with the sport and proved myself worthy. I welcome all challenges and I will perform to the best of my ability to each and everyone of them.
The Spartan Race series has brought such happiness to my life, it's such a demanding sport that I have become so passionate about spreading the joy it gives you at the finish line. I hope to one day have a sponsorship and compete state to state in obstacle racing and help inspire others to never give up. If I had given up, I wouldn't be walking. If I had given up, I wouldn't be the person I am today. If I had given up, I wouldn't of found what I truly love to do. And that is, Spartan Races! AROO! | <urn:uuid:69745977-3c60-402c-99a9-0d8b8726b762> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://spartanchicked.blogspot.com/2012/01/tales-from-chicked-ella-anne-kociuba.html | 2017-06-22T14:20:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319575.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622135404-20170622155404-00027.warc.gz | en | 0.982473 | 803 |
A friend once told me that they had discovered a foolproof way to stay thin: “Don’t gain weight,” he said, laughing. For many men and women who struggle with excess weight or body fat, it can seem as though just one minor change, whether that’s a decrease in activity level or an extra night of takeout a week, is the catalyst for a cycle of weight gain that they can’t break free from. Unfortunately, losing the weight never seems to be quite as easy as it was to put it on.
When people come to me looking for weight loss advice, I’m forthright about the fact that there’s no magic pill or fast solution that works for everyone. What does work, however, is staying active, and eating the right foods. While adding a few salads to your diet won’t melt off the pounds, consuming foods that make you feel full for longer, stoke your metabolism, and prevent mindless eating can make getting the body you’ve always wanted feel like an adventure, not a chore. Instead of mourning all the things you’re giving up when you’re trying to lose weight, think of the delicious, obesity-fighting foods you get to add to your diet.
Whether you’re pureeing them into a flavorful hummus or snacking on a handful of ones you’ve roasted at home, chickpeas are one of the healthiest sources of vegetarian protein and can make losing weight easier than you’d ever imagined. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals that chickpeas and other legume seeds can aid in weight loss efforts even among people who aren’t intentionally reducing their caloric intake.
Almonds are a great source of both protein and fiber and might just be the key to losing weight and keeping it off. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that dieters who ate almonds had more consistent weight loss and had lost a greater amount by the time the trial concluded.
Kale’s high fiber content and versatility make it a smart, easy, and filling addition to any diet — it is one of the Green Vegetables That Will Turbocharge Your Weight Loss, after all. Thanks to its high levels of vitamin A, it can also help you lose weight — according to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders, regular consumption of calcium-rich food was associated with lower levels of body fat.
One of the healthiest sources of vegetarian protein, avocado isn’t just adding richness to your meals, it’s could also help you slim down. Every avocado you eat is giving you a healthy dose of oleic acid, a fatty acid that can help you feel fuller and aid in weight loss, according to research published in the International Journal of Obesity.
Almonds aren’t the only nut that can help you whittle down your waistline — walnuts can have a major effect on belly fat and weight. Research published in The Journal of Nutrition reveals that walnuts may help reverse abdominal obesity, and they’re also an excellent source of omega-3s.
If you’re looking to turbocharge your metabolism, you might want to try adding some health-boosting citrus to your diet. Oranges contain high levels of vitamin C, an essential nutrient for fat oxidation, making them a powerful tool in the fight against belly fat.
Although not all fish are created equal, with many farm-raised varieties posing a host of health risks, wild salmon might just help you ditch those unwanted pounds. Research published in Scientific Reports shows that consumption of fish oil, like that found in wild salmon, reduced body fat and weight.
Just a squeeze of healthy citrus here and there could help you stay healthier and slimmer in the long run. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition reveals that lemon may help reduce the obesity-causing effects of a high-fat diet while stabilizing blood sugar levels.
Oatmeal has long been known as a diet-friendly food, and with good reason: from its prebiotic properties to its satisfying combination of protein and fiber, it’s an excellent tool in your arsenal against weight gain. According to a study in the Journal of Nutrition, oats go one step further, reducing cholesterol and systolic blood pressure, as well.
Eating just a few apples each day could help you reach your goal weight, according to research findings published in Nutrition. Study participants who consumed apples lost nearly double the weight of those who didn’t — it’s one of the many reasons they’re among the 25 Best Fruits For a Flatter Belly.
Don’t let coconut oil’s high fat content scare you off — it might help you beat your belly fat into submission once and for all. Coconuts are an excellent source of phosphorus, which has been shown to aid in weight loss, according to research published in Nutrition & Diabetes.
Paprika does more than flavor your food: it might also help you slim down. Research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that mice who consumed paprika lost more weight and metabolized glucose more effectively than the study’s control group.
Honey’s probiotic and antimicrobial properties, which can make your gut healthier and reduce inflammation throughout the body, can make it an effective ally in your quest for a Zero Belly.
Don’t count out that PB and J as part of your weight loss plan just yet. A study conducted by researchers at Purdue University found that peanuts can actually help you lose more weight than a diet that doesn’t contain them and they may even reduce your diabetes risk.
Olive oil might just be your ace in the hole when it comes to weight loss. A study conducted by researchers at the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences found that the polyphenols in olive oil may positively influence weight loss as well as reducing your heart disease risk.
While the days of the all-grapefruit diet are long gone, grapefruit can still play a major part in your weight loss plan. A study published in Nutrition & Metabolism found that consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice before meals helped participants reduce weight and visceral fat.
The key to making your diet healthier might be sitting inside your spice cabinet. Researchers from Penn State University found that eating inflammation-fighting foods and spices like cinnamon after a fatty meal reduced the level of dangerous triglycerides in the bloodstream by nearly a third as well as reducing weight gain-causing insulin response.
While some dieters are scared to ever let a carb cross their plate again, brown rice should definitely factor into your eating plan. One of the healthiest sources of vegetarian protein with nearly four grams of fiber per cup and an excellent source of betaine, which can help turn off your genes for insulin resistance, brown rice is one grain you don’t have to be afraid of.
Garlic might not be a great food to load up on before a big date, but when it comes to your health and weight loss, it can play a hugely beneficial role. A study conducted at Kuwait University found that administering garlic to rats influenced weight loss and helped reverse many diabetic symptoms, including higher-than-normal blood sugar levels.
Grapes are a near-perfect snack: they’re light, they’re portable, they’re tasty, they’re inflammation-fighting and antioxidant-rich, and they may help fight obesity. Red grapes are a good source of resveratrol, a compound that has been found to fight colonic inflammation, which may be a contributing factor in obesity, according to a study published in the European Journal of Pharmacology.
If you think that salty foods can’t be effective weight loss aids, think again. Research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that consuming seaweed may help dieters lose both body fat and mass.
Bring on the chipotle salsa, it might just help you shed that unwanted belly fat — it’s why chipotles are one of the 20 Foods You Should Always Keep in Your Pantry. A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that study participants consuming foods rich in capsaicin, like chipotles, saw greater breakdown in their fat stores even after the study had concluded than those given placebos.
Sprinkled on your favorite vegetables and whole grains, this salty, soy-based sauce may help you lower your weight and fight inflammation. According to research published in Obesity, soy may help obese individuals lose weight without sacrificing muscle mass.
Black beans are one of the healthiest sources of fiber and protein, making them a satisfying way to fill up. Fortunately, they’re versatile as well — puree them with olive oil and spices into a rich spread for sandwiches, add them to your favorite vegetable dishes, or simply sprinkle them on a salad.
Watermelon’s high liquid content makes it a great food to add to your diet if you’re looking to lose weight. A study published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics found that increased water consumption helped participants lower their total calories.
Cumin might just be nature’s secret for a healthier weight. Research published in Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism found that taking cumin helped study participants lose as much weight as a popular, FDA-approved diet pill.
Meat substitutes aren’t the only ways to get waist-friendly protein into your diet. Edamame, a satisfying, protein-rich snack found on the menu at nearly every Japanese restaurant, is a tasty way to lose weight. Just make sure you check the label before digging in or you could accidentally add a huge amount of sodium to your diet.
As a prebiotic, antioxidant-, protein-, and fiber-rich food, flaxseed is already a pretty great addition to your diet, and for those hoping to lose weight, it could be a lifesaver. Research in The Journal of Nutrition shows that eating flaxseeds along with a healthy diet reduced cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, and belly fat.
You don’t have to do much convincing to get most people to add more chocolate to their diet — it is one of the healthiest ways to satisfy your sweet tooth, after all. However, those rare individuals for whom it’s a hard sell should consider this: in a study conducted by researchers at Rio de Janeiro State University, the consumption of dark chocolate was shown to contribute to weight and body fat loss.
Ginger does more than settle an upset stomach — it can also help you feel more satisfied after eating. A study published in Metabolism found that subjects were less hungry and less likely to continue eating after consuming ginger.
Sweet potatoes may be carbohydrate-rich, but that doesn’t mean eating them is a misstep when you’re trying to lose weight. A study published in the Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin found that eating sweet potatoes improved glucose tolerance, and the high fiber content, as well as their antioxidant content and inflammation-fighting potential can make them a weight loss-friendly food.
Staying fit as you get older could be as easy as adding olives to your diet. Research published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that black olives helped reduce bone loss, meaning you can maintain an active lifestyle for longer.
Rich in resveratrol, delicious, and an easy way to reduce your risk of diabetes, there’s no reason cherries shouldn’t be a regular part of your Zero Belly plan. If you’re not sure how to incorporate them into your diet, try using them in your Zero Belly granola or quinoa stuffing.

When “South Pacific” first opened on Broadway more than 60 years ago, it commented candidly on racial prejudice. It also won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama the following year.
The show was revived on Broadway two years ago. Now it’s on a national tour, opening this week in Los Angeles.
Baritone Rod Gilfry told KPCC's Steve Julian that the show’s racial commentary surprised him. Gilfry plays Emile de Becque, the French plantation owner on a South Pacific island.
"The race element is really very pointed and I didn’t expect it to be as important as it is," said Gilfry. "Nobody thinks about South Pacific as being a show about race."
But race becomes the wedge that separates de Becque and Navy nurse Nellie Forbush, portrayed by Carmen Cusack. While race is a key issue, so is war.
"First week of rehearsals all the leads and principals sat at a table and hashed out the history of war and what it means today and then," said Cusack. "Still the same can of worms."
That meeting was called by director Bartlett Sher, who also directed the 2008 Broadway production that swept the Tony awards. Cusack says, once you get past songs like “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair,” “Cockeyed Optimist” and “Some Enchanted Evening,” you find a story steeped in issues that are just as relevant today as they were during the 1940s.
"We deal with the racial issues and we deal in war in a more realistic way. It’s not all fun and games, a sweet little story with people hamming it up with cute little songs. The songs play a part in this show but in a more ‘real’ way if that makes sense."
Gilfry’s best known as an opera singer, Cusack as an actress from Texas who spent much of the past 20 years in London. Both remember a show their touring company performed in New York.
"When we were in Schenectady, there was a congressman," said Gilfry. "Do you remember his first name?"
"Paul," said Cusack, "We were on a first name basis because he came into my dressing room in floods of tears saying that everyone in Washington needs to see this show because he’d just come from a Tea Party [event] and the hatred was so thick and horrible and he was so upset by it. He came to see our show and said he had no idea this is so poignant right now. 'I insist everyone in Washington come and see it.' So, anyway..."
"It was right when the health care thing was on Capitol Hill," said Gilfry, "and there was so much anger about it and racial epithets and the N word was being shouted at African-American congressmen. I was appalled. I couldn’t believe that was still happening in this day and age and it’s just evidence that we really have a long way to go, and a piece like this is really relevant."
South Pacific is based on a 1948 short story collection by James Michener – “Tales of the South Pacific.” Richard Rogers wrote the music; Oscar Hammerstein, the lyrics. The original orchestrations have been restored. And racially-themed dialogue that was cut before the original production opened on Broadway, is back in. The show continues through July 17 at the Ahmanson Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. | <urn:uuid:3ff956a0-1faa-4fb0-a8d6-dd44166ac3a1> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.scpr.org/news/2010/06/04/15795/south-pacific-ahmanson-theatre/ | 2016-02-06T07:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701146196.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193906-00234-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985198 | 752 |

Polarn O. Pyret, a clothing store founded in Sweden in 1976, recently opened two retail outlets in Manhattan. The new stores are located at 200 Chambers Street and 428 Columbus Avenue.
Polarn O. Pyret, a clothing store founded in Sweden in 1976, recently opened two retail outlets in Manhattan. The Upper West Side location opened November 27 and the Tribecca location opened December 8. The store aims to be the only stop parents need to make when shopping for their children. This has been the company's philosophy in Sweden for the past 35 years, and it hopes to stay true to this motto in its New York stores.
Polarn O. Pyret separates itself from other clothing stores in large part by its unisex clothing line. About one-third of its collection is unisex, making the clothes suitable as hand-me-downs that would work for any child. Jennifer Athanason, president of Polarn O. Pyret USA, says, "There aren't really substantial differences between little girls' and little boys' bodies until a certain age, around 7 or 8. We don't want kids to look like little grown-ups; we want to really foster childhood in children."
Some of the most popular designs at Polarn O. Pyret include outerwear, rainboots, and the brand's traditional stripes, which can be found on many articles of clothing throughout the store. The stores also stock clothing for adults.
When the Upper West Side location opened, the flagship Stockholm store had a New York-themed party to celebrate. "We're over the moon to be in New York City," says Athanason. "We're from Sweden, a country of nine million people...the city of New York is bigger than the whole country of Sweden!" Athanason confirms that the brand has plans for further expansion in the United States: "We're a small brand with big aspirations." | <urn:uuid:d25ec108-a94c-48c3-a71b-548c484e3d13> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.nymetroparents.com/manhattan/article/Polarn-OPyret-Swedish-Clothing-Store-Opens-In-NYC | 2015-03-30T17:49:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131299515.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172139-00075-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963289 | 391 |

Panel hears arguments on mailed-in ballot from voter who dies before Election Day
by Kim Jarrett, The Center Square, Jan 27, 2023
(The Center Square) - Hawaii's mail-in voting system presents a dilemma for elections officials.
What happens if a voter dies after they mailed in their vote and the ballot has not been counted?
If Senate Bill 19 passes the Legislature and is signed by Gov. Josh Green, that vote would count.
The Senate Judiciary Committee heard comments for and against the bill on Friday. Ultimately, the committee deferred the bill.
"It came to our attention during testimony that there's a uniform law on this topic," Chairman Karl Rhoades said.
In written testimony, the Hawaii League of Women Voters said, "Regardless of which method is used, if a registered voter submits a valid ballot on time, it is possible the voter may become subsequently ineligible, including by death or perhaps by moving and registering to vote in another state after submitting their valid Hawaii ballot. Importantly, this bill makes clear that anyone who was eligible to vote in Hawaii at the time they cast their ballot should have this ballot counted, even if they later become ineligible. Every vote counts."
Oahu resident Corinne Solomon opposes the bill. Tracking the number of people who died, newly convicted felons who have lost their right to vote, and people who move out of the state is nearly impossible, Solomon said in written testimony.
"Adding a 6-week average of deaths, convicted felons, and residents moving out of state gives us 9,630 potential eligible-to-ineligible ballots to track, both before and after they have been removed from their signature envelopes," Solomon said. "SB19 offers no insight on how this would be accomplished. We need a simpler election system of in-person Election Day voting with Voter ID, not one that requires complicated statutes that cannot be enforced."
The bill passed out of the committee by a vote of 4-1, with Republican Sen. Brenton Awa casting the only "no" vote.
The committee also considered a bill requiring electors to cast their Electoral College votes only for names appearing on the ballot.
Lorna Takehara Strand said she supported the legislation because of an incident that occurred in 2016.
"We were shocked and dismayed when a Democratic presidential elector, elected by Democrats at the Democratic Party of Hawaii Convention to perform the duties of an elector, decided to cast his vote for Bernie Sanders," Strand said in written testimony. "Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the November 8, 2016 general election in Hawaii 61% - 29.4%. Yet, one of Hawaii’s preciously few electoral votes went to Bernie Sanders who was not even on the ballot."
Sanders is independent; he does caucus with Democrats. | <urn:uuid:eb637492-4ec0-45a1-8402-f3915882782d> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://hawaiifreepress.com/Articles-Main/ID/37653/categoryId/111/SB19-Allow-Dead-People-to-Vote | 2023-12-02T21:36:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100452.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202203800-20231202233800-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.974307 | 576 |
New 'CLOi' Robots to Play Key Role in Advancing LG's AI Excellence
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Jan. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the introduction of its commercial robots in 2017, LG Electronics (LG) continues to push the envelope with the unveiling of three new work robots at CES® 2018, which opens Jan. 9 in Las Vegas. The new concepts, specifically developed for commercial use at hotels, airports and supermarkets, reflect LG's commitment to expanding its position as the leader in development of products utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) through deep learning.
Under LG's new "CLOi" robot brand, the CLOi serving robot, CLOi porter robot and CLOi shopping cart robot follow in the footsteps of the CLOi airport guide robot and the CLOi airport cleaning robot. The airport robots are already deployed in a trial at South Korea's Incheon International Airport, and they will take on the thousands of visitors that travel through Seoul on their way to Pyeongchang. Also part of the expanding CLOi family are the CLOi lawn mowing robot and the affable CLOi hub robot, which recently participated in a trial at one of Korea's largest financial institutions by providing information and servicing customers at the bank's branches.
LG Welcomes Three New Robots to the CLOi Family
The CLOi serving robot will deliver food and beverage to guests of hotels and visitors to airport lounges quickly and efficiently. With a built-in sliding tray, consumers will experience intuitive interaction with the robot fleet. When the delivery is confirmed, the serving robot will make it way back to the kitchen independently.
The CLOi porter robot will help minimize inconvenience for travelers by reducing slow service and long wait times. This robot can also facilitate express check-in and check-out service by handling payment and delivering luggage to a waiting vehicle in a fraction of the time.
The CLOi shopping cart robot includes a barcode reader that customers can use to scan items and view product prices as they're placed within the robot's bin. The robot's "face" will also display all items on the shopping list and through a smartphone app will guide the consumer through the store via the most efficient route.
LG's CLOi robots are being developed in parallel with LG ThinQ, the company's AI brand for consumer electronics and home appliances. Both CLOi and ThinQ are designed to take advantage of LG's DeepThinQ deep learning technology, delivering both emotional interaction and innovative convenience.
"As an important part of our future growth engine, LG is committed to expanding its portfolio of robots that can deliver real convenience and innovation in our customers' lives," said Ryu Hye-jung, head of the smart solution business division for LG's Home Appliance & Air Solutions Company. "We will continue to develop a wide range of products across commercial and home robots while seeking new opportunities to contribute to the advancement of the robotics industry."

Webinar Invite - Ethernet-APL: Why HART-IP will be critical to industry adoption
Modified on: Tue, 26 Oct, 2021 at 12:03 PM
Ethernet-APL: Why HART-IP Will Be Critical to Industry Adoption
|The introduction of Ethernet-APL technology earlier this year is an important technology milestone, enabling a new, high-performance paradigm of digital field communications for the process industry. We soon will have at our disposal loop-powered, two-wire, intrinsically safe Ethernet that is orders of magnitude faster than past generations of field communications. In order to make sure that Ethernet-APL succeeds, we need to make sure that the impact on current work processes and associated tools is kept to a minimum. In this webinar, hosted by Control, Keith Larson, editor-in-chief of Control, and Sean Vincent, director of Technology Programs at FieldComm Group, review the case for HART-IP over Ethernet-APL as the most expedient path to Ethernet-APL success. |

Listed below we dive deep into the most effective low-cost webhosting plans out there. You’ll learn what core hosting attributes are important in a host and how to analyze your very own hosting needs to make sure that you can choose from among the very best cheap holding providers listed below.
Disclosure: When you purchase a webhosting plan through links on this page, we gain some payment. This helps us to keep this website running. There are no extra prices to you in all by utilizing our links. The list below is of the best affordable web hosting packages that I’ve personally made use of as well as tested.
What We Take into consideration To Be Inexpensive Host When we explain a web hosting plan as being “Economical” or “Spending plan” what we mean is hosting that falls into the rate bracket between $0.80 to $4 per month. Whilst looking into inexpensive hosting providers for this overview, we looked at over 100 various hosts that fell into that rate array. We after that evaluated the top quality of their most affordable organizing package, worth for cash and customer care.
In this write-up, I’ll be looking at this first-rate site hosting firm as well as stick in as much appropriate info as possible.
I’ll go over the features, the rates alternatives, and anything else I can consider that I think may be of benefit, if you’re determining to sign up to Bluhost as well as get your sites up and running.
So without more ado, allow’s check it out.
Bluehost is one of the most significant host firms worldwide, obtaining both large advertising and marketing support from the business itself and affiliate marketing experts who advertise it.
It really is a substantial company, that has actually been around for a long time, has a big credibility, as well as is absolutely one of the leading options when it concerns web hosting (definitely within the top 3, at the very least in my book).
But what is it specifically, and should you get its services?
Today, I will certainly answer all there is you require to understand, offered that you are a blog writer or an entrepreneur that is searching for a host, as well as does not know where to get going, since it’s a terrific solution for that target market as a whole.
Allow’s imagine, you want to host your websites and also make them visible. Okay?
You already have your domain name (which is your website location or LINK) but now you intend to “transform the lights on”. Bluehost Domain Name Discount
You require some organizing…
To complete all of this, as well as to make your web site visible, you need what is called a “server”. A server is a black box, or tool, that saves all your site data (data such as photos, texts, video clips, links, plugins, as well as other information).
Now, this web server, needs to get on all the time and also it needs to be linked to the net 100% of the moment (I’ll be pointing out something called “downtime” later on).
Additionally, it also needs (without getting too elegant and also into information) a file transfer protocol generally known as FTP, so it can reveal web internet browsers your web site in its desired form.
All these things are either costly, or require a high degree of technical skill (or both), to create and preserve. As well as you can absolutely go out there as well as find out these points by yourself and established them up … yet what regarding instead of you purchasing and preserving one … why not just “renting out hosting” instead?
“This is where Bluehost comes in. You lease their servers (called Shared Hosting) and you introduce a site utilizing those web servers.”
Considering that Bluehost maintains all your data, the business additionally allows you to set up your material monitoring systems (CMS, for short) such as WordPress for you. WordPress is an incredibly prominent CMS … so it just makes sense to have that choice available (practically every hosting business now has this choice as well).
In other words, you no more need to set-up a web server and then integrate a software application where you can construct your web content, individually. It is already rolled into one package.
Well … picture if your web server remains in your home. If anything were to happen to it in all, all your files are gone. If something goes wrong with its inner processes, you require a specialist to fix it. If something overheats, or breaks down or gets corrupted … that’s no good!
Bluehost takes all these problems away, as well as cares for everything technological: Pay your server “rent”, and also they will certainly take care of every little thing. And also once you buy the solution, you can then start concentrating on including web content to your website, or you can place your initiative right into your advertising and marketing campaigns.
What Solutions Do You Obtain From Bluehost?
Bluehost offers a myriad of different services, yet the primary one is hosting naturally.
The hosting itself, is of different types by the way. You can rent a shared web server, have a specialized server, or likewise an online personal server.
For the objective of this Bluehost review, we will certainly focus on organizing services and various other services, that a blog owner or an on the internet business owner would certainly need, instead of go unfathomable right into the rabbit hole and talk about the other services, that are targeted at even more seasoned people.
- WordPress, WordPress PRO, and also shopping— these organizing solutions are the plans that permit you to organize a web site utilizing WordPress and also WooCommerce (the latter of which permits you to do e-commerce). After acquiring any of these packages, you can begin building your web site with WordPress as your CMS.
- Domain Market— you can likewise buy your domain name from Bluehost as opposed to other domain name registrars. Doing so will make it much easier to point your domain to your host’s name web servers, given that you’re making use of the exact same market.
- Email— as soon as you have bought your domain, it makes good sense to also get an email address tied to it. As a blog writer or on the internet business owner, you need to pretty much never ever utilize a cost-free email service, like Yahoo! or Gmail. An email like this makes you look less than professional. Fortunately, Bluehost provides you one absolutely free with your domain.
Bluehost likewise offers committed web servers.
As well as you may be asking …” What is a devoted web server anyhow?”.
Well, the important things is, the standard web hosting packages of Bluehost can just a lot web traffic for your website, after which you’ll require to update your organizing. The reason being is that the usual web servers, are shared.
What this means is that a person server can be servicing 2 or even more websites, at the same time, among which can be yours.
What Does That Mean For Yourself?
It implies that the solitary server’s resources are shared, and also it is doing several jobs at any kind of offered time. As soon as your internet site starts to hit 100,000 site sees each month, you are mosting likely to need a dedicated web server which you can additionally get from Bluehost for a minimum of $79.99 each month.
This is not something yous needs to worry about when you’re starting but you should keep it in mind for certain.
Bluehost Pricing: Just How Much Does It Cost?
In this Bluehost testimonial, I’ll be concentrating my interest generally on the Bluehost WordPress Hosting plans, since it’s one of the most popular one, and likely the one that you’re searching for and that will certainly suit you the most effective (unless you’re a significant brand name, business or site).
The three available strategies, are as adheres to:
- Standard Plan– $2.95 each month/ $7.99 normal rate
- Plus Strategy– $5.45 per month/ $10.99 regular rate
- Option Plus Plan– $5.45 monthly/ $14.99 normal rate
The initial cost you see is the cost you pay upon subscribe, and the second price is what the cost is, after the very first year of being with the company.
So generally, Bluehost is mosting likely to bill you on an annual basis. And you can also pick the quantity of years you wish to hold your site on them with. Bluehost Domain Name Discount
If you choose the Fundamental strategy, you will certainly pay $2.95 x 12 = $35.40 beginning today and by the time you enter your 13th month, you will now pay $7.99 monthly, which is likewise billed per year. If that makes any kind of sense.
If you are serious about your website, you need to 100% obtain the three-year choice. This indicates that for the basic strategy, you will certainly pay $2.95 x 36 months = $106.2.
By the time you hit your fourth year, that is the only time you will pay $7.99 monthly. If you consider it, this approach will conserve you $120 throughout three years. It’s very little, yet it’s still something.
If you want to get greater than one site (which I extremely suggest, and also if you’re significant, you’ll possibly be obtaining even more eventually in time) you’ll wish to use the selection plus plan. It’ll enable you to host unlimited web sites.
What Does Each Strategy Deal?
So, in the case of WordPress hosting plans (which are similar to the shared organizing strategies, yet are extra tailored in the direction of WordPress, which is what we’ll be concentrating on) the functions are as follows:
For the Fundamental plan, you obtain:
- One website only
- Safe website by means of SSL certificate
- Optimum of 50GB of storage space
- Cost-free domain for a year
- $ 200 advertising and marketing credit report
Keep in mind that the domain names are acquired individually from the holding. You can obtain a complimentary domain with Bluehost below.
For both the Bluehost Plus hosting and Choice Plus, you get the following:
- Unlimited number of sites
- Free SSL Certificate. Bluehost Domain Name Discount
- No storage or data transfer restriction
- Cost-free domain name for one year
- $ 200 advertising credit scores
- 1 Office 365 Mail box that is free for 1 month
The Choice Plus plan has actually an added advantage of Code Guard Basic Back-up, a back-up system where your file is conserved and also replicated. If any kind of accident happens as well as your site information goes away, you can recover it to its initial type with this feature.
Notification that although both plans set you back the very same, the Option Strategy then defaults to $14.99 per month, routine cost, after the collection quantity of years you have actually selected.
What Are The Benefits Of Using Bluehost
So, why choose Bluehost over various other host services? There are numerous host, much of which are resellers, yet Bluehost is one select couple of that have stood the test of time, and also it’s possibly the most well known around (as well as permanently reasons).
Right here are the 3 main benefits of picking Bluehost as your host provider:
- Web server uptime— your web site will certainly not be visible if your host is down; Bluehost has more than 99% uptime. This is very crucial when it comes to Google SEO as well as positions. The higher the much better.
- Bluehost rate— exactly how your web server feedback determines exactly how quick your web site reveals on an internet browser; Bluehost is lighting quickly, which indicates you will lower your bounce rate. Albeit not the most effective when it involves loading speed it’s still extremely vital to have a rapid rate, to make user experience better as well as far better your position.
- Unlimited storage space— if you obtain the Plus strategy, you need not stress over how many files you store such as video clips– your storage space ability is limitless. This is actually essential, due to the fact that you’ll probably encounter some storage space issues in the future down the tracks, and you don’t want this to be a problem … ever.
Finally, customer support is 24/7, which indicates despite where you are in the globe, you can speak to the assistance group to repair your web site concerns. Pretty common nowadays, but we’re taking this for approved … it’s likewise really important. Bluehost Domain Name Discount
Also, if you’ve gotten a complimentary domain with them, after that there will certainly be a $15.99 cost that will certainly be deducted from the quantity you originally purchased (I visualize this is since it sort of takes the “domain out of the marketplace”, uncertain regarding this, however there most likely is a hard-cost for registering it).
Last but not least, any kind of demands after thirty days for a refund … are void (although in all honesty … they should most likely be strict here).
So as you see, this isn’t always a “no questions asked” plan, like with some of the other hosting alternatives out there, so make certain you’re fine with the plans prior to continuing with the hosting. | <urn:uuid:588419d3-6cbb-4c4d-bf40-f3d55721db6d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.fwusy.net/bluehost-domain-name-discount/ | 2022-10-05T22:57:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337668.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005203530-20221005233530-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.954852 | 3,048 |

Payable Accounting should be contacted prior to returning merchandise to a vendor that was paid as a Non-Purchase Order (NPO) purchase. Once Payable Accounting has been notified, the Department can proceed with returning the merchandise by following the procedure below:
Follow vendor guidelines regarding packaging, labeling, and return shipment to the vendor's facility. When ever possible the original cartons and packaging materials should be used when returning merchandise. Shipping labels and documents sent with the returned merchandise must reference the RMA number provided by the vendor.
If the merchandise has been paid for prior to the return authorization being issued, ask the vendor to issue a refund check. The refund check should be made payable to Central Michigan University. Vendors that CMU makes frequent purchases from may issue a credit memo for returned merchandise referencing the Merchandise returned and the date. (The credit memo must be used within six months of issue or Payables will have to charge it back to the department's fund center).

In any democratic country, it is the politicians who represent the aspirations, opinions and voice of the people. People elect politicians who they feel best represent what they stand for, and implement what they believe the country needs. But is this the case? If the views of the people change, or the government performs poorly, the ruling party gets voted out, and a new set of politicians, possibly representing a different ideology, again chosen by the people, are given their chance. Do they do anything different? These politicians then go on to frame laws in the legislature, depending on the people’s wishes and the party ideology. Civil Servants on the other hand, are people who have strong knowledge and experience, continuity and fixture, in certain fields of policy and governance – and know how to implement certain policies sought by the government, and what the potential problems can be. Civil Servants are chosen on the basis of seniority or merit, and are not elected by the people. Instead, they use the laws passed in the Dail to devise and see over implementable solutions that are in line with those laws. They use their experience and knowledge and years of practical implementation to bring to fruition the plans and wishes of the country’s people, which are represented and passed by the politicians and the laws that they make. Thus, it is crucial that both politicians and Civil Servants (CS) work constructively together in harmony towards the development of the nation and for equity and fairness. A politician may understand the pulse of the people and know what the people in his constituency demand – but may not be able to come up with practical solutions to properly tackle issues. These issues often require interdepartmental knowledge across a variety of social and financial issues that only a C.S. can appreciate. A CS, on the other hand, may devise idealistic or unpopular solutions without knowing what the people who will be most affected by his decisions actually expect. Maybe that is why we have so many shocking mistakes and inequality both in finances and services. There are several cases where a politician and a CS serve different, independent roles that the other cannot perform – for instance, one cannot have a politician as the head of the Law Reform, Gardai and other regulatory agencies, since they strictly require political neutrality. A good example of this would be the relationship between the Finance Minister and the Governor of the Central Bank. The Government would always like to spend a lot of money to boost economic growth, but that would lead to high inflation. Thus, the two functions of 1) boosting economic growth and 2) keeping inflation under check cannot be both given to the same person due to the conflict of interest. But does this always happen? The Government – consisting of politicians elected by popular vote – try to boost economic growth, while the Governor – headed by a non-elected, but knowledgeable man keeps inflation under control by regulating interest rates, even if that means slowing down economic growth. Both balance each other and both are necessary for developing overall healthy policies for a fundamentally strong economy. Well, if all this is the case – then why are our lawmaking politicians still performing so poorly? We must keep in mind that in a democracy the people get what they deserve. If they perform badly, it is the duty of the people to make an informed choice and bring about a change. But at the end of the day, the politician you get is the politician a majority of people wanted. No matter how dishonest he/she might be, they still serve as a representative of the people of the region – but winning an election and gaining the support of thousands of people is surely no mean feat. But charisma and popularity sometimes don’t make for good decisions. So we must ensure that good performance and integrity is the criteria that we use at the polling booth. But replacing them with non-elected people who are not answerable to the people cannot be a good solution either. So it is imperative that when you are voting for a candidate, that you choose wisely, and ensure that what they are promising are for the good of all people rich and poor and see if we can bring back a sense of dignity and respect to this small nation. | <urn:uuid:cd419574-4e1c-486b-83f8-ca014132d261> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://peghanafin.com/politics/ | 2020-07-07T22:42:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655895944.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707204918-20200707234918-00328.warc.gz | en | 0.972345 | 844 |

My daughter once got invited to a half-birthday party. I thought the invitation was a joke. But it wasn’t. The party had cake, balloons and goody bags.
Luckily, my daughter was only 2 or 3 and didn’t grasp the idea of celebrating a half birthday. If she had been older, she would have grilled me about why we don’t celebrate half birthdays.
At most preschools and elementary schools, every kid with a summer birthday gets an in-classroom celebration for their half-birthdays (or “pretend birthdays,” as my third-grader and her friends call it). Usually, the half-birthday boy or girl brings a dessert, wears a paper crown and the teachers give a small present such as a pencil, eraser or lollipop.
I’ve always thought half birthdays were ridiculous. I still think a full-blown half-birthday party is too much.
But I was wrong to frown at half-birthdays being celebrated at school.
As someone with a summer birthday, I never got to celebrate my birthday at school. Half birthdays just weren’t done during the 1970s and 80s (or at least they weren’t at my schools). And yeah, I had a twinge of envy for my friends with school-year birthdays but it was never a huge deal. As a result, I’ve thought school half-birthdays were a silly over-indulgence.
My son Ryan’s birthday earlier this week changed my mind. He had a birthday party over the weekend with his school friends as well as a family celebration with cake, games and gifts galore. But the thing that most excited him was having his birthday celebrated at school. His teacher made him a paper crown that he wore all day, including when he crawled into bed at night. His classmates sang him the birthday song. He brought Minecraft creeper marshmallow pops as the treat and he and his friends pretended like they were exploding when they ate the creepers (I guess creepers explode. I don’t really get Minecraft).
All day, other students, teachers and even the principal wished him a happy birthday.
He was the king of Kindergarten.
I could see the pride and excitement in his face. He felt special.
I know this sounds silly but I felt a brief sadness that I never got to experience being celebrated at school. I haven’t had a single-digit birthday in decades but seeing how much the birthday-school-day meant to Ryan made me realize that every kid should be king or queen for a day.
What do you think about half birthdays?

Full disclosure, I don’t know a lot about Batman. In fact, all I do know is courtesy of Christopher Nolan and my boyfriend. But thankfully Gotham has been created to be easily accessible for Batman novices. Oh, I’m sure there are little nods to the more invested Batman fans (or at least there should be if they want to earn their comic book cred), but for the most part its all Bruce Wayne, Jim Gordan and a roster of villains easily identified by those who still think of Adam West as the true Batman.
Unfortunately, that attempt to appeal to all audiences may be Gotham’s greatest obstacle to overcome. It wants to be just another crime drama for those uninterested in the Batman universe and an alternate, interesting take on that universe for everyone whose main draw was the Batman connection. Those two shows cannot exist within the same hour.
But tone is a tricky thing to master for any show and I assume that the creators of a show called Gotham actually want to make a comic book show. Once it becomes clear that the audiences are more interested in the Batman aspects than the generic crime drama ones, I see no reason Gotham can’t reach Agents of Shield levels of success. And yes, I know that’s damning it with faint praise. That was the point.
But enough about what the show should become, lets talk about what it currently is. And what it is not, is another Batman reboot. While the pilot told the familiar origin story of the boy who would become Batman, Gotham is much more interested in the man who would become Batman’s inside man.
I can’t help thinking that Gotham is setting itself up to be a very depressing show, indeed. Gotham is depicted as city drowning in corruption and crime with only Jim Gordon dedicated to fixing it. But, if Gotham wants to remain true to the Batman trajectory (which I assume they do, because what else is the point?) then the city must remain a wasteland for the next 20 years or however long it takes young master Wayne to learn the ways of the bat. Does that mean that (if the show is successful, because so many are) we’ll be treated to an endless parade of the villains getting more powerful while Jim Gordon slowly becomes a bitter man who needs to rely on a caped crusader to finish his mission of cleaning up his city? That doesn’t sound like much fun.
Visually Gotham is on point. It relies on saturated colors the way Sin City relies on black and white and constantly shifts between comic book camp and gritty crime drama. The actors use these shifts to eat as much scenery as possible, especially Donal Logue (as Gordon’s partner Harvey Bullock) and Jada Pinkett Smith (as crime boss Fish Mooney). From what I can remember of Ben McKenzie (Gordon) on The O.C. he’s chewing the scenery as much as he can manage, though in his case it’s more like gumming the scenery. But a show like this requires a straight man to ground all the crazy and McKenzie is as good a choice as any.
Final Verdict: If it seems like your cup of tea, and it clearly won’t be a show to everyone’s taste, its worth a few more episodes to see if it can find its footing.

Charity Airplane Rides
with Philip Greenspun
Site Home : Flying : One Article
This page explains the offer of a sightseeing airplane ride with Philip
Greenspun, to be auctioned for charity.
Your pilot is Philip Greenspun, who holds an FAA Commercial pilot's
certificate with instrument, multi-engine, single-engine seaplane, and
helicopter ratings. Greenspun has more than 1300 hours of flying
experience including trips from Boston to Alaska (twice), Mexico, the
Caribbean, Labrador-Newfoundland, and back. Born in 1963, Greenspun
studied engineering at MIT, receiving bachelor's, master's, and a PhD in
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from that school.
Greenspun is also an FAA-certified flight instructor.
We will be flying in a Cirrus
SR20 airplane. This is a simple modern 4-seat airplane with
excellent visibility through large Plexiglas windows. The plane is
similar in capability and size to the Cessna 172 and Piper Warrior but
is made with more modern materials and techniques. The Cirrus SR2x
series is built in larger quantities than any other in-production 4-seat
airplane. The particular SR20 that you'll fly was purchased new by
Greenspun in May 2005.
Who does the flying?
The SR20 is equipped with dual flight controls. If you want to try your
hand on the side-yoke with straight-and-level, some turns, etc., we can
climb up to a safe altitude and you'll see how easy it is to fly an
airplane. I'll do the takeoff and landing, though!
When we fly
Wind and mid-day heat produce a lot of turbulence here in New England.
So it is best to fly on a day that is forecast to have calm winds.
Early mornings are usually the least windy and therefore calmest time of
Greenspun and the Cirrus are based at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford,
Massachusetts. This is near the intersection of Rt. 128 (I-95) and
Rt. 2, about 15 miles NW of downtown Boston. In some cases, it may be
possible to start your flight from any of the following New England
airports: Providence, Hyannis, Martha's Vineyard, Nashua, Pease
Where we go once airborne
Taking off from Hanscom/Bedford it is often possible to get permission
to fly right over downtown Cambridge and Boston to take photos. This
airspace is owned by Logan Airport and they are generally very
accomodating unless unusual winds force them to direct landing airplanes
over the city instead of over the water. During foliage season there
are beautiful nearby hills and river valleys. A personal favorite is to
fly down the Merrimack River to the beach at Plum Island then fly at
500' over the beach to see the houses and then Cape Ann, including the
Crane Mansion, Rockport, and the port of Gloucester.
How many people can fly
There are three empty seats in the SR20 but we are limited to about 400
lbs. for passengers and baggage. Usually that means two adults or one
adult and two children. One of the ways that the airplane achieves
better gas mileage than an SUV is by being very small. The interior is
smaller than an old Volkswagen Beetle and is not a comfortable place
for very large people, though a 6'2"-tall person can sit in the front.
I'm not a daredevil and the Cirrus is not certified for aerobatics. We
won't be doing loops or any scary abrupt maneuvers. Small airplanes
have a bad reputation for safety and there is no question that it is
safer to sit at home on the sofa than to be flying through the air at
150 miles per hour. A lot of accidents happen in bad weather; we will
only fly on a day when the weather is clear so that we can see the
sights. Flying at night is more dangerous than flying during the day;
we will be flying during the day. Takeoff and landing are the most
dangerous portions of a flight. We try to minimize those risks by
flying from large airports with long runways at which your pilot has
landed many times before. At Bedford, for example, Greenspun has done
literally hundreds of landings. The main runway is 7000' long, enough
for a Boeing 757 airliner; the SR20 requires only about 1000'.
[The example of JFK, Jr. often comes up when people in New England think
about small airplanes. He became disoriented when flying at night in
hazy conditions over a dark body of water. JFK, Jr. had a Private
pilot's certificate and no instrument rating. You will be flying during
the daytime on a day with good visibility over land. Your pilot has a
Commercial certificate, an instrument rating, and dozens of hours of
experience flying airplanes straight through clouds (i.e., zero
To the charity
If the underbid is at least $500, feel free to "split the donation" and
sell a second ride to the underbidder. (To be concrete, if Joe Smith is
the highest bidder at $750 and Mary Jones is the next highest bidder at
$700, you take $750 from Joe and $700 from Mary and I give both of them
The typical Cirrus charters out for $250 per hour, so you can put down
the value of the donation at $250.
Winners can contact me directly via the email address at the bottom of
this page or by calling 617-864-6832.
To my fellow pilots and airplane owners
If you would like to use this page as a model for your own Web site,
please feel free to do so with hyperlink credit back to
http://philip.greenspun.com. My personal experience with sightseeing
rides at charity auctions has been very positive. The first time I
donated a ride in my plane (a Diamond Star DA40), it sold for $1200 to
benefit a school for autistic children. I then went to the auctioneer
and said that I would be willing to donate a second ride. Thus was
$1000 collected from the underbidder.

I was off to the Edinburgh International Fashion Festival with my Dad (he is the fashion expert not me, I just like to tag along to these things as I find them really interesting), to see a great symposium regarding lifestyle branding called ‘The way we live and shop’. You can find out more here (Edinburgh International Fashion Festival) the panel was incredibly interesting and I am keeping up with one of the panelists websites called Semaine because it sounded to me like a fantastic concept and I wish them all the best. (Semaine)
Anyway the point of my first paragraph was to explain why I went to Checkpoint which I haven’t actually done yet….so we were off to EIFF and I suggested we meet up for breakfast beforehand. I wanted to go here because my boyfriend went without me (how dare he) and said it was good.
To begin we ordered coffee, my Dad going for a cappuccino and myself ordering a mocha (my go to coffee of the moment). I am completely spoiled as I work next to some of the best coffee shops in Edinburgh such as Cairngorm, Wellington and Lowdown so for me this coffee was slightly bland. Therefore it wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t go there just for coffee.
For my breakfast I decided to order the candied streaky bacon pancakes with sesame maple syrup, yes I had a serious sweet tooth on this day.
I love crispy bacon, it should be made one of the wonders of the world, however this bacon was between fatty and crispy so still tasted good but hadn’t quite reached wonderful. The pancakes were fantastically fluffy and the sesame maple syrup was great.
Overall a dish that made me feel full with the perfect amount of sweetness.
My Dad’s breakfast was a lot more attractive than mine, and was easier to take pictures of annoyingly.
Not only that but he kept telling me how delicious it was and how he would love to have it again, under my Instagram picture of breakfast he even commented,
“Highly recommend my smoked salmon and spinach, eggs benedict.”
So there you have it, it is Dad approved.
The interior was all wood and metal with a storage crate thrown in for good measure, and when you entered the bathrooms it felt like you had entered a different restaurant as they felt super fancy. Both of the waitress were lovely and very attentive.
I will be going back as although the menu looks slightly crammed with hard to read small text, it all sounds delicious.
Have you been to Checkpoint? Let me know what you thought in the comments below!

And I’m busy. I have so much to do that I do not know how I’ll do them all.
I have to work.
I want to do handcrafts hand crafts and stuff.
I am planning to sell my apartment, that means a lot of cleaning to be done, papers I have to order, forms to fill out, preparations to be made, fixing small flaws in the apartment… AND finding a new place to live.
and of course, I want to WRITE.
and then there is friends to meet, pen pals to write to (I’m probably the worlds worst e-mail pen pal – I manage to get around to writing about 2-3 times a year…) and the most imoportant thing of all:
Me & My Love have our 2 years together anniversery coming up!
To think, she has been with me for two years soon, and we’ve been living togeteher for over a year. And she still claims to love me! ME??? She likes me, it is a wonder – I’m not the easiest person to get along with after all… Or I am, but only if one meets me now and then. To live with me full time, that is an whole other matter… … … … … …
And then there is this other thing. I still Love HER! I mean, I do have those commitment issues…. Or had. My Love seems to have been the cure to that one. I’ve never before been in this kind of long and stable relationship.
I still sometimes get this feeling this can’t be true, that I’m dreaming or something. But I guess I’m not.
I really love her. I really want to the whole growing old together thing with her. | <urn:uuid:eda4746a-ec1b-4797-a7a9-007ac1e58d3e> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://crazykitz.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/summer-is-here/ | 2018-11-13T21:19:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741491.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113194622-20181113220622-00179.warc.gz | en | 0.954814 | 380 |

I ended up finding an Ithaca M3A1 for the right price in just a couple days, and went ahead and bought. I was holding out for a Guide Lamp, but this gun was the right price, and I like that it has a worn finish, but has NOT been refinished.
Anyways, two questions
1. What is the best factory ammo to run in this gun? I want to run what others do with good luck, and it's always a good time to stock up. I do not reload, and just want to buy what is recommended. I was told by the seller that hot ammo with hard primers is good. Typical of older open bolt subguns I've noticed.
2. What springs should I put in the gun? I keep hearing people talk about springs with these guns, so I want to be sure to put in a nice new spring, and also grab some spares. | <urn:uuid:e1e4a60f-3816-4c5b-8065-2494bc15b624> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?s=1601d1f7c1e908e0fd1b9053c719c163&showtopic=21938 | 2019-02-18T16:42:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247487595.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218155520-20190218181520-00206.warc.gz | en | 0.989143 | 190 |
Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals
Pretransitional optical activity measurements in smectic liquid crystals of both law and high chirality are reported. In the low chirality sample, p-(n-(decyloxybenzylidene)-p-amino-(2-methylbutyl)cin-namate (DOBAMBC), the results indicate that the optical activity in both the isotropic phase just above the smectic A phase and in the smectic A phase just above the smectic C* phase can be explained in terms of a Landau-deGennes free energy with no coupling between the chiral modes. In the high chirality sample, 1-methylheptyl 4′-[(4″-tetradecyloxyphenyl)propioloyloxy]biphenyl-4-carboxylate (14P|M7), the data in the isotropic phase above the recently discovered smectic A* phase cannot be explained in this way, even when coupling between the chiral modes is considered. Whether this is due to some feature of the smectic A* phase or is simply the result of strong coupling between the orientational and positional order parameters is a question which remains unanswered.

The Blueberry Bog is one of the best bigfooting locations I have yet found in Mount Hood National Forest. Between a small number of researchers and me, a dozen or more sasquatch encounters have occurred here. Most have come in the form of knocks, but there also have been camp visitations, whoops, long calls, and gifting interactions reported from these researchers. No sightings have yet occurred, but there are also no reports from here in any of the online databases nor from any book I have ever read. It’s a good spot.
I visited this location back in June on a day trip. The mosquitoes were beyond bad. It is nearly impossible to be in the area until some drying happens in the forest and the mosquitoes decrease in numbers dramatically. One of the researchers in my inner circle has been in the area a couple times this summer scouting for hunting season. Elk and deer sign was abundant. Sign of very large canines was also identified. The possibility of wolves exists, and would be very interesting to verify with a visual sighting. That would be newsworthy, I suspect.
My schedule freed up enough for my wife and I to make a quick overnight to the Blueberry Bog this past week. It’s a beautiful area with abundant wildlife and a stunning view of Mount Hood, so no matter if the bigfoots were there or not, I knew it would be a great trip. However, at least one bigfoot was there.
Long after dark and shortly after midnight, the wood ducks in the nearby bog were restless. They vocalized and moved around the swamp in an agitated way. An unidentified vocalization came from north at 12:37 am. The whistle you hear is accompanied by another sound behind it. If you think you know what made this noise, please contact me and share your idea with me. It would be best to include a reference recording from online with your suggestion for verification purposes.
Just before one o’clock, we heard a knock coming from north of camp. In years past, a knock from this area is often the first sign of a sasquatch being in the area, and usually right around this time of night. Sure enough, twenty minutes later, a loud knock occurred just a short distance east of camp.
Captivated, we listened intently for the next hour and heard nothing unusual except the continued distress of the local waterfowl. I was thrilled that the sasquatches seemed to be back on their old schedule (some logging in the past five years seemed to have disrupted the activity a bit). My wife was thrilled to hear a good, loud knock. We were both happy to share the experience. | <urn:uuid:9c996855-a263-44ce-88b5-5848f15ef9ea> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://cliffbarackman.com/blueberry-bog-knocks-81617/ | 2018-10-18T15:49:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583511889.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20181018152212-20181018173712-00414.warc.gz | en | 0.980391 | 549 |
Okay, so it's been about two years in the making, and tomorrow morning early, the adventure begins.
And it'll be an adventure- I'm being routed through LaGuardia for some reason (rather than Atlanta) and the snarl there has shortened my layover to just barely over an hour, during which I believe I'll have to deplane and get on a bus and go to a whole other terminal (and then probably go through security). We'll see how that goes.
But, that's why I'm flying in a day early (with my class materials in tow- please Delta, don't lose my suitcase). Here's where we're going.
I doubt we'll make that large a loop around to Nassau, I just didn't want to draw a line through the name.
My roomie will be an old high school friend, and we're going to have such fun!
I'll be teaching classes on Saturday and Tuesday, but that's just 9am-4pm, and since one class didn't have any takers, I'll have an extra morning (or afternoon, I'm not sure), to play. And if my suitcase doesn't make it, I'll have lots of time to play, but we won't think about that.
We're staying the night of July 31 in Charleston, and I'm flying home early on Aug 1 (and leaving 9 days later for the Michigan Fiber Festival). It's going to be a blast, even if the weather looks promising nowhere on the entire trip.
Don't believe me?
Told ya so. (I got the final two days in Charleston wrong, but that doesn't matter). The precip chance is never higher than 40%, so we may come out of it dry. We'll just have to wait and see.
Internet access on the ship will be slow and expensive, so there won't be any blog posts while I'm gone (I'm not even taking the mini- it's old and slow and annoying). If I do any online things at all, it'll be through Facebook, so check there for random updates and pictures.
In the meantime, be good, and I'll come back with some great stories. | <urn:uuid:b3758c8d-8bcc-45dd-80e3-48513419a7d8> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://kathleen-dakotadreams.blogspot.com/2013/07/wont-you-let-me-take-you-on-sea-cruise.html | 2014-04-19T14:30:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609537271.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005217-00421-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977277 | 454 |
Borussia Dortmund stalwart Marcel Schmelzer has expressed his surprise at former teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan's decision to depart for Manchester United.
The highly-rated Armenian playmaker was confirmed as the third new signing of Jose Mourinho's early reign at Old Trafford on Wednesday afternoon (6 July), following on from the respective additions of Villarreal centre-back Eric Bailly and high-profile free agent Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
BVB announced over the weekend that they had reluctantly accepted a "tremendous" offer believed to be in the region of £26m ($33.5m) for Mkhitaryan, whose previous contract at Westfalenstadion was due to expire in June 2017. Such confirmation came as another hefty blow to the Bundesliga runners-up, who have already lost the services of two influential players in Mats Hummels and Ilkay Gundogan this summer.
Recovering from the loss of an attacking talent who registered 23 goals and 32 assists across all competitions in 2015/16 will certainly not be easy and long-serving left-back Schmelzer is only too aware of the difficulties that lie ahead as Dortmund desperately seek to keep pace with reigning champions Bayern Munich, who have a new manager at the helm in Carlo Ancelotti.
"I was surprised that Micki decided to make the move after all," he was quoted as saying by The Mirror at a recent press conference. "Many players after the season talked to him about his plans. In the end, all you can do is to accept the decision.
"It's a major upheaval when your captain leaves and also a player like 'Micki', who's had a hand in 55 goals last season. The key now will be to offset it as a team. We have signed a lot of talented players, who will have to grow into their role. It will be difficult in any case because you can't replace Mats and Micki like-for-like."
Thomas Tuchel's Dortmund, who have finished second behind Bayern in three of the last four seasons, have been active in the transfer market themselves over recent weeks and beat a host of other top suitors to the signing of exciting 19-year-old France forward Ousmane Dembele in May. Midfielder Sebastian Rode has also joined from Bayern, while Portuguese international Raphael Guerreiro arrives from FC Lorient. Barcelona's Marc Bartra and Osasuna midfielder Mikel Merino have also been recruited. | <urn:uuid:ae6a4949-5146-444e-af86-5a3bf084408a> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/henrikh-mkhitaryan-manchester-united-marcel-schmelzer-surprised-by-borussia-dortmund-exit-1569273 | 2019-10-14T01:09:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986648481.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20191014003258-20191014030258-00285.warc.gz | en | 0.974129 | 512 |

COUNTY OF CAMROSE No. 22 - Excerpts taken from the
"Story of Rural Municipal Government in Alberta 1909 to1983"
by the Association of the Municipal Districts and Counties
Contributed for use in Alberta Digital Archives by Darlene Homme
Although it is impossible and perhaps unfortunate that all events that have occurred and that
all conditions that existed at various times since the turn of the century have not and cannot
be recorded to preserve this aspect of our heritage, the following is an attempt to capture some
of the highlights of the historical development of local government in the area now encompassed,
for the most part by the County of Camrose No. 22.
The County of Camrose No. 22 was formed January 1st, 1963 and retained boundary lines as
established by the co-terminous boundary commission on January 1st, 1955 for the Municipal
District of Camrose No. 63.
At the present time this area includes nearly all of what was at one time the Municipal District
of Evergreen No. 427 (located in the general area of Edberg), Lloyd George No. 457 (located in
the general area of Duhamel-New Norway), Melrose No. 426 (located in the general area of
Kelsey-Rosalind), and Parkland No. 456 (located in the general area of Bawlf), and portions of the
Municipal Districts of Corn Hills No 487 (located in the general area of Hay Lakes-Kingman), Haig
No. 396 (located in the general area of Donalda-Meeting Creek), and Lakeside No. 397 (located in
the general area of Bashaw).
Within this area now is the City of Camrose, the town of Bashaw and the villages of Bittern Lake,
Bawlf, Edberg, Ferintosh, Hay Lakes, and New Norway, as well as the hamlets of Armena, Braim
Subdivision, Dorenlee, Duharnel, Kelsey, Kingman, Meeting Creek, Ohaton, and Round Hill.
Municipal District of Evergreen No. 427
Unfortunately, the very early records of the Municipal District of Evergreen are unavailable but it is to
be noted that seats on the 1926 council were held by the following: Mr. Robert (Bob) Campbell, Mr.
B. Dingman, Mr. Matt Schiele, Mr. Jack Johnston, and Mr. Gordon Wilson.
In 1942 the office of this municipal district was located in the village of Edberg, and was administered
by the following personnel: Secretary-treasurer. Mr. Win. Brady, whose annual salary was $1,600.00;
Reeve, Mr. Robert Campbell, and councillors J.C. Bruce, J.W. Pearson, M. Schiele, Enoch Stromberg,
and E.E. White.
Mr. F.P. Layton of Camrose acted as auditor, for which he received a payment of $100. Public works
expenditures in 1942 amounted to $18,449.46.
Evidence dated 1943 Indicates that the following rates of pay were the order of the day: Councillors-
$5.00 per meeting plus mileage allowance of 10 cents per mile; Committee Members-$4.00 per day
plus 10 cents per mile; Weed Inspectors- 50 cents per hour plus 10 cents per mile; Labour was paid
for as follows: Man and team-SO cents per hour; Man only-40 cents per hour; Grader men and Foremen
-40 cents per hour; Tractor operator-70 cents per hour. The 1943 budget amounted to $41,434.98.
What seems like a very sensible procedure was used apparently during the meetings of this Municipal
District, in that 15 minute adjourments or 'cooling off" periods were held when discussions became too
heated. Interest in local government ran high even to the point at one stage where, of three nominees,
two were brothers, of which one was subsequently elected.
The Municipal District of Lloyd George No. 467
This Local Improvement District No. 457 had, in 1911, a council that consisted of: Mr. C.B. Wiesser,
Reeve; F. Chambers, C. Kinsman, N. Linden, R. McLeod and O.A. Olson. The secretary-treasurer at that
time was Mr. E. Coleridge Roper.
Money was scarce in those days and many ratepayers took advantage of their privilege to "work off" most
of their taxes doing road work. Initially two-horse teams drawing slips were used for road construction,
later "big" outfits involving 'fresnos' drawn by four horses were introduced.
In 1917 this region was renamed the Lloyd George Local Improvement District No. 457 and soon after its
name was changed to the Lloyd George Municipal District No. 457. Councillors were paid $2.00 per day
and the Secretary-treasurer received $50 per month.
In 1917 this council was involved in a novel and unique method of obtaining funds to assist in maintenance
of the roads in their area. Mr. George P. Smith, local M.L.A. at that time, convinced the town of Camrose
that since the town and its residents benefitted when the surrounding roads were well kept, a financial
contribution could reasonably be expected from the town of Camrose that would assist to develop and
maintain an area road system of high standard.
This financial assistance is reflected in the following list of revenues budgetted that year for road maintenance:
Council of the town of Camrose-$600.OO
Town of Camrose businessmen-$1 200.00
Province of Alberta-$500.00
Motor Club-Unstated amount.
These monies were spent on roads within a 15 mile radius of the town of Camrose. No roads were gravelled
in those days.
Compared to that of 1911, four changes in the make-up of the council had occurred by 1921 when, in addition
to Mr. C. B. Wiesser as Reeve, and Mr. O.A. Olson, the following people served: E, Gillespie, N. Monson,
0. Rosendahl, and A.F. Smeltzer. E. Coleridge Roper continued as secretary-treasurer.
Two incidents that have been recalled were somewhat humorous. In the first, a persistent contractor three
times presented a bill for road work in the amount of $175 before he was convinced that, because of damage
done to culverts, council would not pay any more than $100, the amount of the final settlement.
In a second incident which took place in the Duhamel area, when the road boss objected to what he though
was an excessive number of rest periods taken by his men (apparently the number taken was considerable)
an argument ensued followed by an enthusiastic display of fisticuffs, much to the enjoyment of all concerned.
Municipal District of Melrose No. 426
The first meeting of Local Improvement District No. 426 (later renamed Melrose Local Improvement District
No. 426, and thence Municipal District of Melrose), was held February 1st, 1913. Councillors were: W.
Vanidour, Chairman; J. H. Braim, Chas. Goebel, A. V. Pickett, and A. T. Schneider. Their secretary-treasurer
was A. Laman who received an annual salary of $375, while the Councillors were paid $3.00 per day spent
on municipal business; taxes were 5 cents per acre ($8.00 per quarter section).
By 1917 taxes had risen to 7'/2 cents per acre ($12.00 per quarter section), of which $10.00 could be
(and often was) paid off via road work, but $2.00 had to be a cash payment.
Council consented, 1919, to allow the C.N.R. to change the name of the village of Campbellton to Ankerton.
It is noteworthy that in the same year the Melrose Council passed a by-law suppressing (but apparently not
prohibiting) gambling and gambling houses; farobanks, roulette tables, and any other gambling devices found
were seized and destroyed.
Records show that a herd law was introduced in 1920, followed closely by the calling of tenders for a new office
to be located in Rosalind, to be built 12' x 18' of frame construction, on skids, with an 8 foot ceiling.
Mr. J. Mayor, reeve; Geo. Bowie, D.C. Gillespie, J. M. Henderson, H. Henkel, and A. Weller, formed the council
in 1925, with W.S. Wiseman acting as secretary-treasurer. At that time council was able to purchase right-of-way
for $10.00 per acre, men were paid 30 cents per hour, while a team would draw 20 cents per hour.
The mill rate was struck at 10 mills, and the municipal revenue amounted to $36,404.40.
Six years later, in 1931, the mill rate had remained constant at 10 mills but the budget had risen to $39,780.00.
However, by 1933, times had worsened and at the annual meeting a motion was passed requesting that the
salaries of all councillors and other municipal officials be cut.
The minutes of the August, 1933 meeting contain the unusual motion that Dr. be instructed to remove the
tonsils of the children providing their parents are agreeable.
A councillor was given permission in 1936 to purchase a road maintainer for $286 to be paid in four installments.
In these depression days, relief in the amount of from $3.00 to $10.00 per month was common, farmers were
issued many bushels of seed grain, payment for some of which never was received, and some of which was
sold at grain elevators with the returns used to purchase groceries and other basic necessities of life. It was
rumored that some of the seed grain was even "traded" for liquid refreshments! Municipal District of Parkland
The earliest information available on this region describes circumstances as they existed about 1925. In an
office rented in the village of Bawlf, at the rate of $7.00 per meeting, council held their regular meetings;
ratepayers' meetings and some of the special meetings were held either at the farm home of Mrs. Edwin
Anderson or at the Oak Park School. Day-to-day activities were carried out from the farm home of the
Secretary-treasurer, Mr. Alex Brown, located northeast of the village of Bawlf.
The 1925 council consisted of: S. Lomness, Reeve; T.0. Courtney, George Law, George Mosby, Fred
Scheidegger and Henry Vann.
The budget of that year was set at $40,343.58 which included a government grant of $1,000. The balance
was composed of arrears of taxes yet to be collected plus a levy of 5 mills. A $6,000 public works expenditure
was possible with this budget and from this amount labor was paid at $3.00 per man per day,as was a payment
of $2.00 per day for each two-horse team. Councillors, as a group, were allowed to use a total of $950 that
year for meetings, supervision and mileage; the secretary-treasurer's annual salary was set at $1400.00.
Fourteen years later, by 1939, it was necessary to operate the office in the village of Bawlf full time to handle
added responsibilities; however, the annual meetings and special meetings were still held out in the country.
The budget was set at $42,800.28 and it is surprising to note that in the span of 14 years from 1925 to 1939
the budget increased by a modest $2500, while the mill rate doubled. A public works expenditure of $18,000
was budgetted for in 1939, this amount was three times that permitted in 1925. Perhaps this situation can be
partly explained by the fact that, in 1939, although relief payments were still thought of as an item of considerable
size since they amounted to money paid out for relief then was only about one-quarter of what had been paid in
Mr. Alex Brown continued as secretary-treasurer at an annual salary of $1800, up $400 from the 1925 days.
Council in 1939 consisted of: Gust Olson, reeve; C.E. Carlson, M. Makarowski, H.N. Nelson, N. Pasnak and
L. Scaber. These men were paid $5.00 per day plus 10 cents per mile to cover travelling expense.
Once, during the early '30's one of the employees operating a four-horse road maintainer submitted a statement
of time to council which was seriously questioned by one of its members. To furnish proof, the employee requested
that the skeptical councillor accompany him to his home where he could view the exact number of hours as they
were marked on the kitchen calendar. Much to the employee's anger and embarrassment it was discovered that
after the month in question had passed, his wife had torn off and burned the required sheet. Because of lack of
evidence, apparently a compromise settlement was reached.
A most unexpected turn of events occurred at one annual meeting held at sometime during the early 1930's. When
nominations were called for by the Chairman, one set of nomination papers handed in bore the necessary signatures
except where the candidates signature should properly have appeared, one of his nominees had accidentally signed
and when this signature was pointed out, the chairman refused to make any alterations. The result was that, against
his wishes, the nominee had to remain as an unwilling candidate and he was duly elected.
Major discussions arose at annual meetings, particularly over the councillor's remuneration and the monies paid out
for relief. At that time council administered Old Age Pension, and payments thereunder ranged from $10.00 to $20.00
per month and relief payments were authorized at from $5.00 to $20.00 per month. Ratepayers perhaps did not realize
the intense scrutiny council gave each application for relief and for Old Age Pension. Minutes record several instances
of when a recorded vote was called for on these issues.
Mechanized road building began to appear. For a contract price of $300.00 per mile, Mr. H. P. Curtiss, better
known as "Snoose Curtiss" elevated 18 miles of road using a 60 Caterpillar, an R.D. 7 Caterpillar, and a
Municipal District of Cornhill No. 487
Records of this region are very sketchy due in part probably to its transfer from one jurisdiction to another
on more than one occasion. In any event, the name of Mr. Jacob Boness appears as a councillor prior to
1937, as do the names of a Mr. McMullen and an Oliver Letourneau, who apparently served successively
as secretary-treasurer. The 1937 council consisted of: Chas Holmgren, Reeve; Albin Anderson, Einer
Broen, Frank Hartzman, Chas Morden, and Guy Walker. John Letourneau served at this time as secretary-
treasurer and later held the same position with the Municipal District of Beaver.
Apparently in 1938-39 this region was transferred to a jurisdiction to the north and later in 1944-45, along
with several other municipal districts, it was included as part of an amalgamation that formed the enlarged
Municipal District of Beaver. This region was then again transferred to the Municipal District of Camrose in 1955.
Municipal District of Haig No. 396
The administrative office of this municipal district was in 1938 located at Donalda, with W.E. Porter serving
as secretary-treasurer at an annual salary of $1,~74.20. Each councillor received $5.00 for each meeting
attended and $4.00 for each day spent in supervision. Total revenue for the year was estimated to be
$27,623.67, derived in part from a levy of 7 mills. Each of the 6 councillors was allowed about $1,000 a year
for public works projects. The council of 1938 was composed of: J.A. Baird, Reeve; H.A. Ford, W.R. Leisinger,
O.E. Olson, R. Rasmussen and A.J. Vikse.
The first attempt at road work was l[kely done with an axe and shovel, as was probably true for most other
pioneer areas in the locality. Trees were felled and smaller holes filled with a shovel. The homesteaders
soon found that fences were necessary to keep animals in pastures and out of crops. With fences came
the need to construct roads on the government allowances made for them.
The first piece of machinery used was a 'slip' pulled by two horses. It had a handle on each side and held
200 to 300 pounds of dirt-a far cry from the earthmovers of today which carry many tons in each load and
are pulled by a crawler tractor.
The first road crews were composed of homesteaders and farmers who were working out their land taxes.
A road boss was appointed by the councillor of the Local Improvement District (later Municipality). Furrows
were plowed with a walking plow and the loosened earth was scooped up with the slips. Later two-wheeled
scrapers called "the old wheelers" were used. This machine had a long handle in the middle, and was pulled
by two horses with an extra team, called a "snatch team" hooked in front to help load it.
Municipal District of Lakeside No. 397
Records of this region are apparently almost completely unavailable, It has been assumed that the office was
located in the town of Bashaw, where Mr. L. Wilson served as secretary-treasurer. No further data with respect
to this area was able to be located.
Villages of the area - Existing at the times described in this material and within the general area referred to herein
were several villages. Rather exemplary of all of them was the village of Ohaton which was incorporated as such
on March 31, 1914. and which reverted to the hamlet status as of January 1st, 1946. It operated on a total budget
in 1914 of $300. and the secretary-treasurer was paid the grand sum of $50 per year.
At about this time, a resolution was passed that the village pay for the hauling away of rubbish and refuse put up
in convenient "heaps" within the boundaries of the village. For good reason, no doubt, this resolution was amended
the next year and the words "not including manure" were inserted after the words "rubbish and refuse".
More Recent Developments
The enlarged municipal district of Camrose No. 427 was formed as of January 1st, 1944 and the first regular meeting
was held on March 10th, 1944. First council members, now seven in number, were: R.J. Bowes, Reeve; G.W.
Bowie, J. Brown, A.J. Vikse, P.A. Link, J.W. Pearson and Enoch Stromberg. Mr. W.S. Wiseman served as the
first secretary-treasurer. Several of the people who served at the time of introduction of the enlarged municipal district
had previously served in some capacity with the previous smaller municipal districts.
The total budget in 1944 for municipal and hospital purposes was $292,438. raised in part by a levy of 11 mills.
Road work labourers were paid 50 cents per hour.
In 1945 the district had its number changed from 427 to 63, which was retained until its dissolution which came
on January 1st, 1963 with the formation of the County of Camrose No. 22, at which time the Camrose School
Division No. 20 also ceased to exist. The dual form of local government that had existed and functioned in the
area almost since the turn of the century gave way at that time to the County system, featuring a single
government agency providing both municipal and educational service.
The following Councillors in 1963 operated on a budget of $1,600,000, with Mr. R. J. Magneson serving as
secretary-treasurer: D.M. Braim, Albert Olson, Walter J. Schultz R.R. Young, J.C. Bruce, R.F. Roose and

During this 20-year period, the operating budget of the municipality increased from $1,600,000 to close to
$9,000,000 in the year 1982.
One of the more significant events that occurred during this 20-year period was the record amount of
snowfall during the fall of 1973 and early 1974 when over one hundred inches of snowfall were recorded
by the County of Camrose and neighbouring counties. The stormyweathercontinued almost without
interruption forcing all available county and private equipment, which was capable of moving snow, to be
pressed into service in order to maintain a minimal form of transportation and communication in the rural
areas. At times, the roads "blew in" right behind the snowplows making the effort almost useless.
In about the middle of April, 1974, the weather did an about turn and a sudden warming trend was experienced
which caused the heavy snowcover to melt rapidly, and within approximately one week, severe flooding was
being experienced. Many roads were washed out, road grades were under water and many landlocked lakes
overflowed their banks. Dried Meat Lake rose by approximately 15 feet during the spring run off period, and
the situation was considered by the provincial government to be serious enough to qualify for disaster services
The situations encountered by council during this period of snow, flood and subsequent road repair, were a
factor in council's decision to purchase in 1974 a TS 14 Motor Scraper equipped with a V-Plow. Other equipment
purchases followed, and now the county owns five TS 14's with two equipped with V-Plows for snow removal.
These plows have rarely been used for this purpose since 1974.
In 1974, the council also moved towards operating its public works department on a county-basis rather than
on a divisional basis and set the public works department up with a public works superintendent being hired to
oversee the department. This segment of the County's operation has now evolved to include the operation of
one road construction crew, of a county-owned fleet of gravel trucks, and of acceptance of the concept of
operating on a county-wide basis rather than on a divisional basis.
During the year 1975, the County of Camrose and the City of Camrose, by agreement, embarked on a regional
recreation program. In 1981 the agreement was expanded to include the villages within the county. This program
was the subject of a lot of debate during the years 1975-1982 with the final step being termination of the
agreement as of December 31, 1982. county council is, at the time of writing, exploring other avenues whereby
recreational services can be delivered to its ratepayers.
In 1978, the County of Camrose, in co-operation with the villages of Edberg, New Norway, and Ferintosh,
established a regional landfill site near Ferintosh. This venture has worked out extremely well for the municipalities
involved, and its operation has been the subject of a lot of favorable comments.
On the evening of July 28, 1972, a tornado struck in the Ohaton-Bawlf area causing severe damages to many
buildings. The home of Don Sheets was completely demolished, and Mrs. Sheets later died from injuries sustained
during the storm. Also, the Allan Gordeyko barn was lifted and moved from its foundations. Some livestock in the
area were reported killed by flying lumber.
In August 1964, the county seed cleaning plant which had been constructed in the previous year caught fire
during the night, and completely burned to the ground. Fortunately the building was adequately insured and
was able to be reconstructed with the insurance proceeds.
In relation to educational matters, some significant matters dealt with by the board of education of the county
1) Closure of the Armena and Ferintosh Schools as well as the Round Hill High School as of June 30, 1975,
due to financial problems anticipated by the board of education, and the subsequent defeat of a plebiscite requesting
additional funds from the taxpayers.
2) Alteration as of September 1, 1982, of the operation of the Kingman School and of the Meeting Creek
School so that each of these schools offered instruction for only Grades ito 6 and, as of September 1, 1982, Grade 10
was re-established at the Round Hill School.
As of September 1, 1982, a new 6 room addition at the Hay Lakes School was brought into use. This added a
music room, a business education room, a new and larger library, and 3 classrooms as well as an administration
area and a staff lounge both of which are larger and modernized.
Underway during later 1982 and early 1983 is a substantial modernization of the "middle" portion (1951 Section)
of the Bawlf School; and the addition of some gym storage area and the provision of an expanded administration
area and staff work area. Essentially, the number of rooms will not be altered by this undertaking, but the areas
involved will be brought up to present-day standards in terms of the heating, electrical and plumbing systems,
the insulation, the wall and floor finishes, the roof and the doors and windows. | <urn:uuid:e48e45e7-d9d9-43eb-a7ca-9bbaed87504f> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~abarchiv/camrose-history-countyhistory.html | 2017-02-22T03:57:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170884.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00631-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971715 | 6,188 |
Adam wrapped his sedan around a telephone pole on his way home from O'Reilly's. After the last week's rains and the deep freeze the spider-webbed cracks in the road had opened up into a small washed-out sinkhole, leaving a foot-wide pothole halfway through the turn.
The windshield, webbed over with intricate network of cracks, had not busted out, and stood in warped defiance of the wreckage around it, steadfastly protecting its charge from wind and rain, even as the windshield wipers jutted out at odd angles. Adam wasn't found for over an hour, after a passerby called in the wreck anonymously. The first responders were the EMTs servicing the nearest hospital: 20 minutes away. They hesitated to approach the wreckage because, although the passenger windows had broken out completely, they could not immediately see inside. Between the shadow of the telephone pole and nearby tree coverage they couldn't make out the inside of the vehicle despite the clear day and high sun.
The inside of the windshield was coated with a thick layer of black, tenebrous fluid that clung tenaciously to the cracks in the glass. The inside of the vehicle was stained solid black and a thin layer of the substance clung to every surface, yet not a single drop fell on the ground outside. Lying in the back seat was a large five-gallon plastic oil jug, itself stained deep black.
After a moment's hesitation the paramedics pulled Adam's quickly cooling corpse from the wreckage. There was no question that they were too late. He was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
Officer Abrams immediately knew something was wrong when he looked inside the vehicle. The oil that coated the inside of the car was a thick black, and the odor was chokingly acrid. The oil jug burst in the back seat was brand new, and only a thin sheen of golden-clear motor oil clung to the inside of it. Could this mean foul play? He didn't know what it meant, but he knew something was very wrong here.
Seventeen days later a call came into the station. The owner of an area complex had entered the apartment of a delinquent tenant. The 911 call was a little distressing: all she could talk about was the horrible smell.
Mrs. Eda had opened the door to find the tenant's wallet and keys lying on the kitchen counter by the front door, the television was on a dead station, and a light shone from under the door of the bathroom.
"Hello? Mr. Scarbury? It's the landlord, are you here?" She called out to the apartment. Only silence responded. She moved to the bathroom door and knocked twice, lightly, politely, embarrassed to even be in such an awkward situation. The door was not completely closed, and it drifted back a half-inch and a small gust of air blew out of the bathroom. Fifteen seconds later Mrs. Eda was vomiting violently on the living room carpet while desperately trying to dial 911.
Officer Abrams was the third on the scene. Even though the windows and doors had been opened for over an hour by then, the strong smell of methane and hydrogen sulfide still permeated the area. The Stench of Death.
"What is it?" Abrams asked the officer standing outside the door.
"You should probably go see for yourself... Cover your nose."
Abrams walked inside, retching once or twice before regaining his composure and covering his nose and mouth with a handkerchief. He turned to corner to the open bathroom door and there, lying in the bathtub, was the EMT from the wreck three weeks earlier. His stomach was bulging out obscenely; a few maggots circled just inside of his mouth. The bathtub was filled to the absolute brim with thick, black oil. Not a drop had spilled to the floor below. Abrams walked out immediately.
Abrams was not a detective. There wasn't even a useful crime lab in the city. He sent a sample of the oil to the New Orleans lab. There was a long backlog, so he wasn't expecting results soon. He didn't even know what he was looking for, so he just requested identification. In the meantime, he started looking for a pattern.
Auto repair shop records turned up what he was looking for. Adam James had visited a shop on the border of the marshes with some damage to the undercarriage of his car. They had done some some spot welding, repaired his damaged oil pan and gas line, and scheduled him for a second visit to finish up the repair work. There was something out there. He had to know what it was. He filed a quick report, grabbed his keys and headed toward the marsh.
Twelve hours later a manhunt was organized. Officer Abrams was missing and the entire police force, fire department, and county sheriff's staff were looking for him. His car was found parked on the side of the road next to an old abandoned gas station and the volunteers began fanning out to look for him. The search focused on back-roads and the many abandoned homes in the area. They were waiting for something a little bigger than a tin rowboat to show up before they risked their lives in the marshes.
Sheriff Dylan's two sons were in the car, listening to the radio as their father stood outside organizing the effort. He turned around, facing them through the open window.
"Stay right here, I'm going to get some flashlights from the cruiser. It's getting dark soon." He said, walking to the end of the street to gather the supplies. His kids, mischievous as hell, tore off immediately to "help." At nine and eleven, they didn't understand the dangers that the marshes posed now. They had grown up playing in or near the shallows and they knew that this area did not have any alligators. They had heard that the marshes were dangerous now, but they didn't really comprehend the deadly importance of the thin rainbow-like sheen on the water, or the small, sticky lumps of leaves and vegetation that sometimes washed up on land. The trudged through at the labored run that is only possible in a foot of water, laughing as their clothes were instantly soiled beyond help.
They made it all the way to the old fence. It was a patchwork chain-link and barbed wire contraption meant to warn sightseers of the limits of safe travel. Beyond the fence the water got deeper quickly, and the rare alligator was know to wander. When they reached it what they found was that one of the large metal posts that had been planted (regular fence-posts didn't stick too well in marshland) was folded over about two feet from the ground, the bent edge mangled and the surrounding wire splayed open in all directions. Deep tire ruts were visible on the higher ground. Someone had been foolish enough to drive back here.
They saw a large white shape rocking slowly past the fence, and decided it would be best to check on it. The two boys walked a hundred yards until they were standing at the wreckage of a small sailboat. There were large holes in the hull from running aground and the muddied, stained sail rocked slowly in the breeze. It was starting to get pretty dim, but that's when the boys noticed the figure lying on the ground by the boat. A set of blackened bones surrounded by a dead patch of ground. Gobs of viscous tar remained in a few spots. They screamed in terror, and turned to run back to safety, but instead they met the body of Officer Abrams.
Abrams was suspended on the low branch of one of the short, sprawling trees that survived in the swamp. His body dripped with oil, which pooled below the tree, spawning rainbows across the water in the dying light. His open eyes were completely black, and tar oozed from his mouth. Perched above him, in the tree, five large cranes coated in thick black oil peered down at the terrified children, shifting restlessly between branches, and back into the water around them.
Four hours later Sheriff Dylan, armed with a shotgun and an industrial floodlight roared through the swamp in a shallow motorboat while other officers carefully navigated the dry paths, searching. He found his sons collapsed in a heap together. Thick oil covered their hands, feet, and legs, but they were alive. At the scene police found the body of officer Abrams and five dead cranes, soaked in oil, floating in the swamp. Nearby the body of a fisherman, who had been reported missing months earlier was found, identified by dental records and the registration information from the boat.
The boys were hospitalized, and recovered. No further deaths were reported in the area. Officer Abram's test came back a week later, identifying the substance as crude oil with traces of ocean water. | <urn:uuid:a56b446b-5853-4444-8d19-0645a26887d6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://everything2.com/title/Tell+me+a+story+about+cranes | 2022-08-15T09:19:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00037.warc.gz | en | 0.987905 | 1,839 |

Traill writes, “When a Hissedar (land owner) is unable for cultivating the owner offers land to a cultivator for cultivating land on temporary basis and the cultivator is called ‘Sirtan’. The Sirtan or cultivator offers 1/3 of land produces to the owner (tyad, tiar, tihar). If there is shortage of cultivators, the owner takes only money as government levy. Owner has right for dismissing Sirtan for cultivating rights. If in village, there is no Sirtan available the owner calls other cultivators from nearby villages. Such cultivators were called Paykast. Paykasti was nothing but a temporary way of keeping land fertile. Paykast system was too temporary and Sirtan has long time agreement between owner and cultivators. “
In Traill time (1815-35, the cultivators were not easily available. There was a competition among owners for getting Sirtan or Paykast. Owners used to offer land even without tax or Tihar. The Sirtan or Paykast system was live till 1960 in Bhabhar or many parts of Garhwal.
Apart from Hissedar and Khaykar, other cultivators were put under Sirtan and there was confusion due to that system (Dabral).
Initially in British Raj, owners had power for dismissing Sirtan. However, from 1925, the rule was made or judgment was offered that in case a Sirtan was cultivating land and living in village for long he could not be dismissed. Suchh permanent Sirtan were called ‘Maurusi Sirtan’.
In each village, Harijans were established by upper caste. Their job was helping owners or masters in various ways, ploughing, helping in marriage, carrying masters and pulling dead animals for disposals. Those were given position of Sirtan in later British rule. Gairola suggested them calling ‘Muafi Khidmati’.
By 1925, the ownership of Sirtan and Khaykar was confirmed on land. Khaykar could offer land to other cultivators for temporary cultivation.

Collectibles-General (Antiques)/Early Coin Op Pinball Game: Midget Hi-Ball by Peo Mfg
I recently acquired this old game and cleaned it up and it works very well. I think the only thing it is missing is a removable plate that covered the money return - that is open now so you can just reach in and get the pennies. The coin op mechanism works well, and takes pennies. It's a pretty addictive little game.
I have been able to find a couple of these online, but could not see any for sale or sold on ebay. My understanding is that these were made by PEO Mfg and there were 2 versions - 1 like this for top of a bar or table, and one that is longer with 4 legs that was free standing.
Any estimates on the value for this?
You have one of the early 1930s pinball machines. Pinball machines, as we know it today, were first introduced in 1930. They were very very popular and many variations were introduced by many different manufacturers. By the mid 1930s, extra features were added to make them more fun to play and then in the late 1940s, flippers were added which made them more fun to play.
Even though your pinball is one of the first ones and in good condition, there are very very few people who collect them. Most people like the later models with special features. As a result prices have remained very low.
A dealer probably wouldn't pay more than $50 - $100 for it. A collector may pay $100-150 | <urn:uuid:d889bc4a-84de-41ce-9cf6-5a7e2873852e> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://en.allexperts.com/q/Collectibles-General-Antiques-682/2014/9/early-coin-op-pinball.htm | 2016-12-10T14:59:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698543315.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170903-00068-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.992053 | 323 |

The two proposed large six-plus story tower developments at NE Fremont and Williams as well as the project at NE 7th and Russell have driven the most uproar.

Pin It Now! This is another of the very first scrapbook pages that I ever did, several years ago. It's a bit archaic...I used every tool I owned on this page! I had two pairs of decorative scissors. That's it! It's hard to imagine as I look around the room now. it's loaded with tools as befits a complete tool junkie.
On this page, I tried to showcase every bit of memorabilia that I had of Jeff's maternal grandparents. On the upper left is a recreation of their wedding invitation from September 20, 1947. The picture in the upper right was their 40th anniversary and the picture on the lower left was their 50th, complete with a napkin from the party their children threw them. The "journaling" (I've never been a journaler) is the wording from the invitation to the 50th party. The page seemed plain, so in the approved beginner fashion I added a sticker in the middle. :)
Thank you for all the good wishes as my husband recovers. He is doing better and we hope to have him back to work in a few weeks. It's a stressful process but I am trying to fit in small crafting sessions as I can to help keep me sane. :) | <urn:uuid:5eff4f0e-b55d-47b9-86ff-912846186701> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://elinselegantdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/03/march-30-2010-anniversary-page.html | 2018-07-18T12:25:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676590169.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180718115544-20180718135544-00626.warc.gz | en | 0.9846 | 256 |

Today’s post is contributed by a fellow elementary school teacher, mom and blogger, Jill McPherson. She shares with us a process she uses regularly to help her students resolve conflicts in a peaceful way that builds emotional and social intelligence.
Whether you’ve got two or twenty kids under your charge, if you’ve struggled with helping kids resolve their day to day conflicts, I know you will find Jill’s story helpful!

The Conflict Begins
“Mrs. McPherson, Jenny grabbed me at recess, and I didn’t like it!” a grade one student said this to me as I was getting ready to teach her music class.
“Oh boy,” I thought, “Here we go again, more conflicts to deal with.” Some days it is hard to get to the business of teaching when students are struggling to get along. As much as I would have liked to let on I did not hear this student’s complaint, I couldn’t.
Pausing to Teach Life Skills
I have learned the value of putting the curriculum on hold so I can teach students life skills on how to get along. After all, if students are upset and troubled in their relationships, chances are not much learning can happen anyway.
I put our “Good Morning” song on so the students could begin our music class ritual of singing and greeting each other while I spoke to the two girls who were clearly upset.
Let’s call the girl who first complained to me about her classmate “Leena.” I asked Leena to tell me again what the problem was while Jenny was standing there.
As Leena shared that she did not like it when Jenny grabbed her at recess and would not let go, Jenny started to interrupt in a need to explain her actions.
Setting the Expectations
I reminded Jenny to please listen until Leena was done explaining her experience at recess. However, it isn’t easy to sit and listen when someone else’s story doesn’t match our own. Listening is a skill we all need to work on no matter how old we are.
When Leena was done, I asked Jenny to tell me what she heard Leena say. I was surprised when this grade one student was able to repeat back everything Leena originally shared accurately.
Then Jenny said that painful word that shuts us down to listening to the other. What’s that painful word?
Anything we say that is followed by a “BUT” is the part of our story where we make excuses to the “victim” on why we did what we did. Victims don’t want to hear excuses; they want to be heard.
I stopped Jenny when I heard the “but” and said, “I know you want us to hear your story. First, let’s check with Leena to see if you heard her right.” I looked to Leena and asked if she thought Jenny heard her and she nodded her head yes.
“Ok Jenny,” I said, “It sounds like you did a great job listening. Now please tell Leena what happened for you at recess.”
Taking Turns Listening
Jenny agreed that she had grabbed Leena. Leena interrupted Jenny to remind her she needed to use her words.
I reminded Leena to please just listen. Jenny responded with, “I did use my words! I did speak nicely to you, but you wouldn’t listen! You didn’t say anything! I asked you if I could play with you, but you didn’t say anything! My heart was hurting!”
I was very impressed with what I heard Jenny say. I heard a girl who was very aware of her feelings and that she had a need to be heard.
Now the song that I had played for the other 18 six-year-olds was done. Chaos would soon prevail if I ignored them. So I asked the girls if I could share our conversation with the rest of the class? They nodded yes.
An Unexpected Group Lesson
I asked everyone to sit down on the carpet so they could hear something important about how to get along with others. I quickly told the class about why these two girls were upset. Then I turned to Leena and asked what I ask all students who tell me someone is being mean to them, verbally or physically.
“Leena, what do you think Jenny was trying to tell you when she grabbed you?”
Leena just looked down at her feet. After a few seconds, I asked her if she would be ok with me guessing? She nodded her head.
Helping Kids See Their Needs
And so I guessed, “I am wondering if Jenny had a need to be heard?”
“I heard that you did not answer her question, so when you started to walk away, she grabbed you to get you to answer her. I wonder if her hands were saying, “Please hear me, and answer me!”
Instantly Jenny’s eyes lit up, and she said, “Yes, she wouldn’t answer me!”
I told Leena that my experience is when people use their words, and they still don’t feel heard, they often then use their hands. It does not make it ok; it just seems to be what humans do.
I then shared that I was wondering why she did not answer Jenny’s question. “I am wondering if you did not want to play with her, but you didn’t want to tell her the truth? Is that right?” Leena nodded yes.
The Difficulties With Being Honest
Now we were into a new challenge that humans have – being honest with one another. Honesty is often avoided when we think we are going to upset the other person. This belief often creates more pain than it avoids.
You are likely familiar with the expression, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.” It seems to have implicitly seeped into our culture.
It sounds logical enough. However, it often results in us staying silent, not expressing our feelings and needs.
At the same time, on the other end of the conversation, it does not allow us to practice hearing the other person’s truth that can be painful to hear yet extremely valuable in maintaining a healthy relationship.
We can teach our children how to be honest in a polite way and not feel guilty if the receiver did not like hearing their truth. At the same time, we can teach children how to hear another person’s truth as valuable feedback and not get caught up in being a victim and believing that the other person hurt them.
No One Can Hurt Our Feelings Without Our Permission
We can take someone else’s experience as honest feedback, or we can feel sorry for ourselves and believe they hurt us. It is our choice how we interpret the other person’s experience.
So back to Leena. I asked her, “Is it possible you did not want to play with Jenny and did not want to tell her because you did not want to hurt her feelings?” Another nod of agreement.
I assured Leena I understood that she did not want to hurt Jenny’s feelings; however, I asked her what happened when she stayed silent?
Leena looked up and said, “She grabbed me.”
Reflecting A Child’s Needs
“That’s right,” I said. “Jenny used her hands because she had a need to be heard. Your silence told her you didn’t hear her. I am also guessing that Jenny has a need for friendship and wants to be friends with you. Is that right Jenny?” Jenny nodded yes.
Now I turned my focus on the “aggressor.” I helped Jenny hear why Leena stayed silent. I asked Jenny if she understood why Leena did not answer. Jenny said in a sad voice, “Because she didn’t want to play with me.”
“Yeah,” I said, “and I see that is painful for you to hear. I hear you were upset and so you used your hands to grab her because you wanted to be heard and wanted a friend. Did I get that right?”
Asking Kids to Reflect on Their Actions
Now Jenny was fighting tears. I asked her, “When you grabbed her, do you think that made her want to be your friend more or less?”
She knew the answer right away. With my arm around her in a sideways hug, I turned to the class and asked them, “If you ask someone to play and they don’t answer and then walk away, what do you think their answer is?”
One student raised his hand and said, “They don’t want to play with you.” I agreed and said, “That is my guess too.” I told the class, “If you have to run after someone trying to get them to be your friend, then that person is likely not your friend. Friends are people who want to be with you. They are people you don’t have to try to convince to like you.”
I thought if we could only get young children to hear and live this. How many teenage girls would stop chasing after boys trying to convince them to like them? Instead, we could be teaching girls earlier on to be open to seeing the boys who are truly interested and seeing their value without needing to be chased or convinced.
Then Jenny said something very painful and honest, “But nobody wants to play with me!”
Oh, how I wish I had all the time in the world to coach the kids who struggle to make friendships. I knew I had to close up this conversation as my grade ones were getting restless and needed to move on yet here was another learning opportunity for them all.
I repeated back what I heard Jenny say so she knew I heard her. Then I asked the class to listen to Jenny and think about how they could help her with her need for friendships.
Finally, I turned to Jenny and suggested that perhaps she could stand back and notice kids at recess who seemed to have friends and wonder why? Notice what they said and what they did.
Most importantly, I asked what she thought they think about themselves.
“Do you think they like themselves?” Jenny nodded yes. I agreed.
Then I invited her to notice if she liked herself. I told her not to answer that now, just to wonder, “Are you someone you would want to play with?”
When I turned to the class I asked them to ponder this question, “If we don’t like ourselves, then how can we expect anyone else too? First, remember what a great person you are, and then you will be the person other people will want to play with.”
I turned to Jenny and said, “I know you are a kind and loving person. Do you know that?” With tears in her eyes, she nodded yes. I said, “Great, then never forget how wonderful you are, then others will see that too.”
Then I added, “And remember everyone, it is ok if some people don’t like you. You probably don’t like everyone you meet. We don’t all have to be friends and play together, we just all need to be kind to each other.” I asked each girl for a hug and thanked them for sharing their stories with us so we could all learn how to talk and listen better and how to make friends.
These conflicts in getting along is often a constant issue if you have children or are a teacher. How do we effectively deal with children’s conflicts?
Steps to Help Kids Resolve Conflicts
- Ask one child to speak and the other one to listen without interrupting.
- Ask the listener to repeat back what he heard the speaker say, without judgement or excuses. Assure the listener he will get a chance to be heard as well.
- Check with the speaker that she was heard correctly. Did the other child get your version of the story right?
- Now the roles reverse and check in with the second child to make sure she was heard.
- As the mediator, you can now check that you heard each of them correctly by identifying their feelings and needs. i.e. It sounds like you are feeling__________ because you have a need for ______. (A great resource for this is Marshall Rosenberg’s book Non-Violent Communication.)
- As much as possible, try to leave it at that. Once you feel assured they have heard one another, leave it up to them to find a solution. When children come up with solutions on their own, you increase their problem-solving skills, and the results are much more likely to be effective.
- Never make children apologize. A forced apology is never sincere. It does not make the other feel better and over time will shut children down from accepting a sincere apology when it is given freely and lovingly.
Benefits of Teaching Conflict Resolution Skills
When children learn how to hear each other’s feelings and needs, over time, they will become more compassionate and be able to find a solution on their own in a way that everyone’s needs get met. That might look like getting along more effectively, or it may seem like less time spent with one another.
In the case of my two grade one girls, they may discover ways to get along and play together, but more importantly, they needed to learn how to identify their feelings and unmet needs and communicate that in a nonviolent way.
Helping Children Build Healthy Peer Relationships
If children are in a situation or relationship that is not working for them or at least one of their needs is not being fulfilled in a relationship, then we can guide them in finding ways to meet their needs in other ways.
This does not mean they no longer have a relationship with a sibling or someone in their class. Instead, it means they can stop becoming frustrated over expecting the same person to fulfil their needs (eg. for understanding, acknowledgment, information, trust, connection etc.) This allows them to move on to find it with other people, in other circumstances, or within themselves.
It is so empowering when we teach our children how to truly listen to one another. And it is freeing when they learn how to meet their needs in many different areas of their lives, especially when they learn they can let go of believing a certain person has to “play with me” or has to do X or Y in order to be happy.
If we can help our children learn to hear one another and discover ways to get their needs met in healthy ways, what a fulfilling and happy life they will lead!

IDC finds that Managed Print Services (MPS) is undergoing an extreme makeover and is increasing its focus on "services." Vendors are starting to expand service offerings either in-house or via partnerships to bring MPS to the boardroom.
Accelerated by new technology services such as cloud, IDC believes that in the short term, enterprises in the APEJ region will be looking for consolidation of services offerings. Currently, multi-tower deals in the information technology outsourcing (ITO) and business process outsourcing (BPO) services markets are seen blended into single contracts. As a result, IDC expects MPS to soon be integrated as part of such extensive contracts.
Suchitra Narayan, Research Manager for IDC's Asia/Pacific IT Services Research says, "We are witnessing three fundamental shifts in how MPS is perceived by the market. First, MPS is entering the boardroom via managed services and is gaining the CXO's attention. Secondly, it is no longer about services that you buy bundled with hardware; it is hardware that comes bundled as a services offering. Thirdly, with the shift to a services economy, there will also be an increased focused on channel-based MPS delivery. Channels will have to undergo a restructuring to ensure they build-out services capabilities and not just deliver and manage 'boxes.'"
According to IDC, the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ managed print services (MPS) market is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17% in the period 2010-2014. It will reach US$530 million in 2010 and surpass US$990 million in 2014.

AJ Allmendinger emerged from the fire and fury of the frantic Martinsville Speedway finish last week to refire his season.
Allmendinger finished a close second to Ryan Newman in the Goody’s Fast Relief 500, in the process putting some foundational support under a season that had started rather grimly.
The second-place run boosted Allmendinger six places in points to 20th.
Can he take advantage of a push of momentum this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway?
“There at Martinsville on Friday and Saturday, we weren’t that good,” Allmendinger said. “But I think working with (crew chief) Todd Gordon, we found a direction that we can go with to help us in the future.
“That’s what we’ve been trying to do over these first six weeks – just trying to learn each other. We’ve been trying to get going in the best direction with the front end. Honestly, the Penske cars are a little bit different from what I’d been used to. We kind of went back in the direction that I had been running the last few years, and I think that really helped.
“You know, at Vegas we were really fast, and I feel like at Texas we should be pretty good, anyway. I hope that what we learned at Martinsville gives us what we need.”
Gordon said he is looking for more positive results as he and Allmendinger continue to work together.
“The communication between AJ, the engineers and me remains on a steady course and gets stronger every time we’re on the race track,” he said. “It has been a continuing learning procedure for us all, and I am very pleased with the progress we have made in such a short period of working together as a team.
“At Martinsville, we took what we were hearing from AJ as for his description of how he felt his car was handling and headed in the direction we thought was appropriate. Essentially, what we did was give him a more stable platform to work with. Looking at his background and listening to his comments, we went with a more rigid setup for the front end, and it gave him the feel he wanted and the stability he needed.”
The Martinsville finish was the best of Allmendinger’s career.
At Texas, where the Samsung Mobile 500 is scheduled Saturday night, Allmendinger has no top fives in eight career starts. His TMS resume includes two top 10s.
