Konami released The Desperado Elite gameplay for “Metal Gear Rising Revengeance” coming February 19, 2013 to Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
Game Description: Developed through a partnership with Platinum Games and Kojima Productions, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance pits cyborg against cyborg in battle that blazes past every human limit!
The main character, Raiden, was once feared as the child soldier “Jack the Ripper” on the front lines of the First Liberian Civil War. Now, his combat mastery is channeled through a cyborg body as the strikes from his high-frequency blade slice even massive assault drones in two. Raiden is contracted for VIP protection, military training and other duties by PMSCs (Private Military and Security Companies) in a developing country piecing itself back together after a bloody civil war. Little does he know that the stage is set for a clash with an enigmatic force of countless cyborgs.

We expect the economy and markets will stay on the course for growth in 2010. We are maintaing our forecasts for the year, which include: The U.S. economy will grow between 3% and 4%, with growth slowing in the second half of the year to a below average of 2% and 3%; stocks post modest single-digit gains on solid earnings growth, accompanied by high volatility; bonds post flat-to-mid single-digit gains as rates begin slowly to rise. Volatility will remain elevated, presenting risks to be side-stepped, as well as potential opportunities. Investors may benefit from a tactical approach to investing in the latter half of 2010 in order to find attractive opportunities when offered and successfully take profits when appropriate.

Trek to Everest Base Camp April 2001
by Mary Lynn Bente
About the Book
I wanted to see the Himalayan Mountains, especially Mount Everest! On my trek in Nepal, I had the opportunity to not only see Mount Everest, but other major peaks too. I also met local Sherpas and members of expedition teams each with his/her own story. This book is my story; April 2001 remains memorable!
My goal is to visit many people around the world as long as I can do so. In my other free moments, play tennis, road bicycle ride, and volunteer. I enjoy each day interacting with people and reading a good book. I hope you'll enjoy my books as they are designed to have family and friends know about my adventures. | <urn:uuid:3dae0752-b675-4d78-9ab2-7ba077e1a3e7> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.blurb.com/b/3947180-trek-to-everest-base-camp-april-2001?alt=Trek+to+Everest+Base+Camp+April+2001%2C+as+listed+under+Travel | 2017-02-26T01:16:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171932.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00303-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976362 | 154 |
I hate cages, and a house is a cage of sorts. Being an indoor-cat-only advocate, I’ve always strived to make my home as enriched and inviting as I can for the feline members of the family. If they must be inside, then let them have fun, cat hair and furniture be damned. But maybe there was a way to let them outside without letting them outside. A cat house — or catio — perhaps.
“An enriched environment is vital for a cat’s emotional and physical health,” states fellow Cat Writers Association member and certified behavior consultant Amy Shojai. “Jumping, running, climbing, hunting – felines are built to move. They are also stress magnets. If they do not have access to cat-centric things to do, they will find another way to relieve the energy. Some of those ways may drive you crazy, others may cause a cat to become a couch kitty leading to obesity, diabetes, arthritis, and other ailments.”
So it was on the right track when four years ago I began small with an easy DIY project: a covered dog kennel measuring 4 by 8 by 6 feet I bought at the local big box store for $350. I planned to place it on the patio outside the sliding door of my bedroom. I picked up a slider cat door panel at a garage sale for $10 and got to work. An old sisal-wrapped cat tree, a carpet-covered climbing ramp and condo, a planter of catnip, and by the end of the day my first cattery was ready for occupation!
The cats were in it quickly, and I smugly sat on the patio sipping a celebratory glass of wine watching them. About the time I was halfway through the second glass, it suddenly hit me that I was looking at a 32-square-foot cage rather than just a new sunny hangout for my cats. Of course the fact that they were sticking their little paws through the fencing to see if the holes were large enough to squeeze through added to my distress.
The patio was pie-shaped with house walls on the two straight edges. Having just assembled the kennel, I knew that it could be configured in ways that did not have square corners. So counting panels and making calculations in my mind, I came up with a new plan. The new-and-improved cattery would be open to the sky!
Having researched cat containment systems in the past I knew, that to keep them in, fence tops would have to slant inwards and then straight down. A cat cannot get over a fence if he is forced to hang upside down, so I came up with a very simple and inexpensive solution for what I had in mind: PVC pipe and plastic chicken fencing.
The next morning, after a $40 trip to the building supply store, the cattery was disassembled much to the dismay of my four-pawed onlookers. After all, they’d only had it for less than 24 hours.
I decided to leave the original cover in place as a sun guard, replacing the fence panel supports with lengths of PVC pipe. Then I just opened up all the sections, adding the sixth one that hadn’t been used in the original setup, and voila! The cattery was now approximately 132 square feet and could officially be dubbed a catio.
After a couple more hours of adding the PVC top and chicken wire, I once again settled into my patio chair with a glass of wine to watch the fun.
The catio became a favorite hangout for my four rescue cats and so I was very upset when I discovered that Nemo was getting out on a regular basis! It was quite a while before I realized it, because he always let himself back in each morning by scaling the outside of the kennel fence, running across the roof and jumping down into the catio! The cats were banned from the cattery, unless under supervision, until I could identify and plug the escape route.
One reason I advocate indoors-only is that all my cats have pink pigment and are therefore prone to skin cancers. Also, three are longhaired, all are mostly white, and being in coyote and Great Horned Owl country, it’s not safe for them to be out day or night.
Lorie Huston, DVM and President of CWA, adds, “Keeping pet cats indoors is a smart move for many different reasons. Living inside, cats are much less likely to be involved in accidents or fights that could lead to injuries. The risk of exposure to infectious diseases is much lower as well. There’s also no risk of annoying your neighbors, who might become upset if your cat digs in their garden or uses it as a litterbox.”
I caught Nemo in the act at last, and closed the first of several holes he was to lead me to. Eventually, being the Houdini that he was, I had to cover the whole cattery with bird netting. That was four years ago.
This summer the big box store was selling a 10-by-10-by-6-foot dog kennels for $450, the same style as the one used for the catio. The cats had been telling me they wanted more, but I could not envision how to make it work in my yard. I have a dog. It would be unfair to take her play area away, and how to mow the grass? At last I had a plan.
The idea was to continue on around the house, using that as one side of the cattery just as before. The expansion took me two days this time, but in the end I had added another 500 square feet to the enclosure. My cats watched in eager anticipation through the windows urging me on and occasionally scratching at the locked cat doors. As soon as the doors were opened, the four swarmed into their “hood” to explore every new inch of it.
The following week a dead pear tree was trimmed, cut down, dragged into the new enclosure and wired securely to the fence. Now the cats had a real tree to climb. Of course, Nemo was the first to try it out. In fall, I drilled holes in the branches and added color with sprigs of fake leaves.
Repurposing old rugged plastic children’s playground equipment added indestructible furniture and interesting hangouts. A playhouse became a kitty powder room and the litterboxes were moved outside. Yay, both the cats and I approved of this. A few shelves hung on the fencing for perches, and the catio was complete.
The total combined cost was about $1,000, spread out over the four years. I shopped rummage sales, Craigslist, curbside “FREE!” items, and thrift stores for accouterments. The catio has become the perfect place to retire old well-loved indoor cat trees.
In multicat households, there is always a social hierarchy. It is not unusual for an alpha player to guard accesses to litter boxes or favorite hangouts. If this is the situation in your home as it is in mine, be sure to include at least two cat doors when you build your own catio, and hang perches at different levels on the fencing to provide avenues of escape from bullies.
Shojai advises, “Think in terms of timeshare mentality, they can share the same space as long as you have options for them. The more cats you have the more options you need. It’s like having the Indy 500 with only one lane to pass and no pit stop. The more lanes that you have, the more the cats can get out of each other’s way if they want to.”
Now officially hooked, I built a second catio for a good friend who has nine indoor cats. Using another 10-by-10-foot kennel, we made an 8-by-30-foot enclosure in a side yard with access to it through a cat door installed in a bedroom window. It, too, has a dead tree and old playground equipment. All our happy cats are able to get lots of fresh air and exercise now.
Call me crazy but I wanted more, and so I moved indoors.

Here are a few quick and easy tips for beginners to the world of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). These steps are easy enough for any individual that manages a website and can make a dramatic difference in your Search Engine ranking.
Add your Core keywords to the Title Tag
It’s not about a long lists of keywords in the keyword meta tag anymore. Google and the other Search Engine are getting smarter. Not to say that keywords don’t count, they do, but keep your keyword list short and to the point and make sure the most important keywords are in your Title tag.
For Example, all of the most important keywords (highlighted in bold) are in this Title:
HipVine – Social Media, SEO, eCommerce, & Other Solutions for Small Business
For a more detailed look at Title Tags check out this article.
Find high ranking websites that have similar content and get involved. Post relative comments and leave your website URL when appropriate. This will tell the search engine that your website is being talked about on other high ranking sites, therefore carrying your raking up. Never Spam, this can hurt your ranking and frustrate the Blogger which will not encourage them to approve your comment, wasting both people’s time.
Create an External Blog
Creating a Blog is a great way to climb up in Google. Google value your relative content in Blogs more than anything. So install some Blog Software in yoursite.com/blog and you are ready to go right? No, not exactly.
The best way to create a Blog is to create it outside of your domain. Similarly to posting comments outside of your site, creating a blog that is outside of your domain looks like a separate site that is talking about you, rather than your site talking about itself.
The easiest way to do this would be to signup for a Blogger account from Google. Blogger will give you a “yourname.blogspot.com” url, so each time you link back to yoursite.com the link will be coming externally from the blog and not within your domain.
The more time you spend focusing on great content the better the chance of people sharing your stuff via Social Media & linking to your Blog. The SEO happens naturally.

Definitely a favorite.
I had actually never heard of clafouti until it was featured in the menu mailer from Cooking Traditional Foods which I subscribed to for several months. KerryAnn has shared a modified version of her recipe as a Budget Breakfast using soaked flour. I’ve made the version she shares and it is delicious.
Clafouti for breakfast almost feels like a decadent treat. Sometimes I’ll decide last minute to make this so I wanted a recipe that doesn’t require soaking the flour. Since we recently did GAPS and have been trying to continue to limit our grains, coconut flour seemed a reasonable item to use in place of the soaked flour.
Coconut flour is high in protein and fiber, gluten free and since it is not a grain requires no soaking. A definite plus for a quick recipe. I do seem to remember reading in the GAPS book (Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride) that coconut flour can be a bit harsh and shouldn’t be used until some gut healing as occurred.
Clafouti is extremely adaptable to whatever fruit you have on hand. I’ve made it with bananas, apples, pears and frozen blueberries. As you can imagine the blueberries do make an interesting final product (blue) but the taste was great. This can also be a very reasonably priced breakfast. KerryAnn has a price break down on her recipe, I’m sure my version does not come in as inexpensive as hers with the changes I’ve made but is still quite reasonable.
1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cream or yogurt (or use all milk or sub coconut milk)
2 Tablespoons Sucanat
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
A couple of shakes of sea salt
Choice of fruit (2 pears, apples or bananas, 1/2 cup blueberries, etc)
Turn on oven to 350 degrees Butter an 8×8 pan or equivalent. Cut fruit into bite sized pieces and lay in bottom of pan. In a separate bowl mix eggs and coconut flour. Slowly add in milk (I find that coconut flour mixes best doing it this way) add Sucanat, vanilla and salt stirring well to mix.
Pour egg mixture over fruit. Bake in oven until just set and slightly puffed 25-30 minutes. Let set 5 minutes before serving.
With such a small amount of coconut flour in it, I’ve thought I could just eliminate it. That does work just fine but it seems to have a much better consistency with the addition of the 1 Tablespoon of coconut flour compared to without. If you don’t have coconut flour, try KerryAnn’s version and soak the flour or try it without any flour for a slightly more custard-like dish.
Have you made Clafouti? What is your favorite fruit to use?

ESPN & SportsInsights Review NFL Week 9 Line Moves.
BEVERLY, MA – November 4, 2010 – ESPN’s Chad Millman, who covers sports betting, interviewed SportsInsights President, Dan Fabrizio, about NFL Week 9 line moves. The article analyzed five NFL match-ups using SportsInsights’ philosophy of studying the sports marketplace in search of contrarian value.
In addition to the weeks games, Chad Millman also wrote:
“… I enlisted the help of Dan Fabrizio. He has built his very smart website, Sportsinsights.com, on the premise of contrarian plays. I’ve written about Dan and his site before. It tracks the number of bets coming in on each game at several of the top online and offshore sports books in the world, and breaks them down into percentages.”
In the article, Sports Insights president Daniel Fabrizio expands on the contrarian betting strategy pointing out:
“It’s the 80-20 rule. When 80 percent of the bets are on a road favorite, bet against that side,” he says. “Since 2003 that formula has hit at a 56-percent clip. In fact, when you look at the data, underdogs tend to win 51 percent of the time. While that won’t make you money, it does show that the market is skewed towards favorites. So you need to find value in the dogs.”
Chad Millmans article can be found here.Additional information about contrarian betting and sports insights professional betting tools can be found at sportsinsights.com
SportsInsights contrarian methods have been highly successful at the start of the 2010-11 football seasons. They have proven to find value in the sports marketplace over the years, across all major sports.

Ever dreamed of owning your own submarine? Or maybe a submarine that looks like a fantastic fighter? Nowadays it has become possible: the company Spymaster has developed the submarine Orcasub and now anyone can buy one for 2 million dollars.
The six-meter 4-ton monster is designed to dive to a depth of 300 meters. Moreover, the method of movement Orcasub resembles an airplane rather than a classic submarine. The device is controlled using pedals and a joystick. By changing thrust, roll and pitch controls, the pilot can force the Orcasub to dive and soar up like a fighter jet, but only in the water.
The Orcasub boasts 80 life support hours and 60, 000 lumens of lighting. Also for an additional $ 7.2 million, the device can be modified to dive to depths of up to 1800 meters.
Will the Orcasub become popular among millionaires - time will tell. But Spymaster is now promising all underwater pilots a five-day training course. A tempting offer. | <urn:uuid:7a71d570-45ac-438c-b333-55e6c63f9896> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://openworldinfo.com/publication/13774 | 2021-06-25T10:40:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487630081.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20210625085140-20210625115140-00185.warc.gz | en | 0.921387 | 210 |
If you think that meditation is exclusively practised by Tibetan monks, you are wrong!
In fact, meditation is practised by healthy, smart and very successful people all over the world.
Because the smartest people out there recognise the powerful benefits that meditation brings to their lives!
What are the most significant benefits of meditation?
- Reduced stress – This is a well-known benefit of regular meditation. As our society is busy and highly stressed, this is the single, most important reason why we should all be meditating!
- Clarity of mind – Meditation helps to quieten your mind, boosting your cognitive function and aiding you in clarifying your thoughts.
- Disease prevention – Researchers at the Harvard Medical School have discovered that so-called ‘disease-fighting genes’ are much more active in long-term practitioners of relaxation methods such as meditation, compared with those who practise no form of relaxation. Meditation helps you to fight off disease.
- Enhanced healing – When you relax, your parasympathetic nervous system switches on. This has been linked to better digestion and heightened immunity. One study showed that just one month of meditation boosted the function of natural ‘killer cells’ in the body. What you should be aiming for is a state of deep relaxation, which you can only achieve through deliberate techniques like meditation or self-hypnosis.
- Calmness – Have you ever noticed that people who meditate seem to be very calm and emotionally balanced? This may have something to do with the fact that these people have learned to observe the thoughts passing through their minds, rather than being ‘taken’ by them. Regular meditation helps you learn how to control your emotions. In a time of crisis, when everyone else is panicking, you will be able to think clearly and come up with a solution to the problem at hand, which is a superior emotional response.
What’s the correct way to meditate?
- Set aside a period of time each day that you can spend by yourself. This could be first thing in the morning or in the evening, whatever works best for your own daily routine.
- Commit to a meditation regime of no longer than 15 minutes a day. This is long enough to get the benefits of relaxation, but it’s not long enough to make it impractical, which would discourage you from incorporating it into your daily routine.
- Sit comfortably upright. You can do this on a cushion, a chair or leaning against a wall. However, you have to sit ‘properly’. You need to keep your spine straight so that you don’t strain to breathe easily and so your neck doesn’t get strained. For this reason, it’s recommended that you sit cross-legged on a meditation cushion, as opposed to just hanging out using any old posture.
- Close your eyes.
- Focus on your next breath. Observe how it enters your nose and then exits your body. Let your mind gently rest on the breath. That’s all you need to do. The correct attitude towards breathing in meditation is to become the breathing. Try to identify with it completely rather than just watching it. You are the breath; the breath is you. All kinds of thoughts will begin to arise naturally, but they are no longer a priority for you now that you are meditating. You may notice tensions in your body – try to work/pass your breath through the tense parts of your body and relax.
- When an emotional state comes upon you while you meditate, just observe it, acknowledge it and let it go. Don’t deny yourself the emotion, but merely examine it, then focus again on your breathing.
- When your time is up, thank yourself for practising meditation and live the rest of your day as you normally would.
There you have it. This is your ‘recipe’ for successful meditation. There really are no excuses for denying yourself this wonderful experience. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and reap the benefits of meditation, starting today. All you need is 15 minutes! | <urn:uuid:85690ec2-1f6e-4daf-9287-9e748ced6cd0> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://dorotatrupp.com.au/ask-dorota/page/149/ | 2018-11-15T16:57:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742793.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115161834-20181115183834-00244.warc.gz | en | 0.954771 | 847 |

I’ve been at Southern Cross Care for three years and in the aged care industry for 20.
My husband wanted me to retire, but I love what I do! It’s a gratifying job, very rewarding.
I treasure the unconditional love I get from residents. It’s like they’re my grandparents.
SCC trains us to take care of our bodies via OH&S. I also studied diversional therapy, where I got to know residents personally.
SCC is such a flexible workplace. Staff with young families need this flexibility, which makes ours a great place to work.
Our Manager has an open-door policy. I’ve often seen him roll up his sleeves and ask, ‘Where can I go and what can I do to help you?’
I like gym, walking, caravan holidays and coffee with friends.
I love that we aspire to excellence and deliver such care with empathy. | <urn:uuid:e8de3af0-23a4-4db2-92c5-b20c58918d93> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.southerncrosswecare.com.au/why-scc/testimonials/nursing-care/helen/ | 2013-06-19T11:33:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368708711794/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516125151-00003-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968317 | 198 |
Florida man shoots his wife because of her medical bills
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WJCL)- A Florida man told deputies he shot his wife because he couldn't afford her medical bills.
Officials say William Hager's wife was very ill. He allegedly told deputies his wife said she wanted to die, but didn't ask him to kill her. Neighbors in Treasure Coast were shocked to hear the news.
Deputies say Hager called them after he shot her. Then led them to a room where he covered her body with a blanket.
He's in jail without bond. | <urn:uuid:c9eedea1-f47a-46ba-9ddb-c9483d450a15> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.wjcl.com/article/florida-man-shoots-his-wife-because-of-her-medical-bills/946415 | 2022-09-26T00:17:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334620.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925225000-20220926015000-00710.warc.gz | en | 0.996223 | 123 |
The Orlando, Florida vacation destination holds much to get exited about as anyone who has visited Disney World, or any of the other resort entertainment theme parks, can attest to. Food, fun, and friendliness abounds. Yet in this haven of heavenly hosts there is one restaurant that stands out in my mind as the very pinnacle of food, friendliness and class!
The Atlantis Restaurant in the Renaissance Hotel is a cut above the rest, and that includes their fish and meats. A perfect paradise of culinary and dining perfection!
The manager, a 20 year Atlantis veteran, Kevin Hidey, greeted us in a friendly and professional manner seating us at a beautifully decorated table in a semi private almost romantic alcove. The ambiance was soft and warm as the harpist filled the atmosphere with gentle, flowing music that rippled at the background of our hearing, the ethereal sounds accentuating the atmosphere with a classy comfortable mood.
The service was impeccable as we were treated to a Chef's Sampling of many of Atlantis's delectable. A creative variety of gourmet entrees such as lobster, crab, and the very best black sea bass I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, were included in the outstanding feast.
Each dish was prepared and presented in supremely appealing and endlessly delicious fashion that excited the senses through smell, taste and visual appeal. My party was treated to a variety of chef chosen offerings beginning with, Smoked Muscovy Duck, followed by a seafood tasting of exquisite salmon, scallops and tuna sashimi as well as beautifully prepared and delightfully light salad of heirloom tomatoes and buffalo cheese. The entrees included Maine Lobster Poached In Vermont Butter, Pan-seared Chilean Sea Bass with a Tomato Cumin Cauce and Herb Crusted Colorado Lamb Chop with a Rosemary Lamb Jus. Each course demonstrating both the superb skills of Chef Willerer and the outstanding presentation and atmosphere of the Atlantis restaurant. (*see full menu of this tasting below)

Issue No.05 - May (1976 vol.25)
D.H. Ballard , Department of Computer Science, University of Rochester
We describe a hierarchic computer procedure for the detection of nodular tumors in a chest radiograph. The radiograph is scanned and consolidated into several resolutions which are enhanced and analyzed by a hierarchic tumor recognition process. The hierarchic structure of the tumor recognition process has the form of a ladder-like decision tree. The major steps in the decision tree are: 1) find the lung regions within the chest radiograph, 2) find candidate nodule sites (potential tumor locations) within the lung regions, 3) find boundaries for most of these sites, 4) find nodules from among the candidate nodule boundaries, and 5) find tumors from among the nodules. The first three steps locate potential nodules in the radiograph. The last two steps classify the potential nodules into nonnodules, nodules which are not tumors, and nodules which are tumors.
Artificial intelligence, chest radiograph, directional edge elements, dynamic programming (DP), edge detection, heuristic problem solving, pattern recognition, picture analysis, tumor detection.

With ambassadors being expelled and unrest claiming the lives of dozens, the recent upheaval in Bolivia has put this Andean nation on the radar of US public attention. Most people in the US, however, know little about Bolivia other than the election of that nation's first indigenous president, Evo Morales and the right-wing caricature of him as a puppet of Hugo Chavez. Please join us for the rare opportunity to hear about the history and context of the current push for autonomy by four lowland provinces from a premier analyst who has lived in Bolivia for the past 18 years. You will also learn about the proposed new constitution, the role of racism in Bolivia, and the nationalization of major industries and natural resources.
Since 1999, Kathryn Ledebur has directed the Andean Information Network (AIN), which promotes human rights and socioeconomic justice in Bolivia and more humane and effective illicit drug control policies. AIN provides information and analysis to NGO colleagues, the media and international policymakers on developments in Bolivia and the impact of U.S. government and European policies.

A new survey suggests that the nation’s seniors are overwhelmed by the number of prescription medications they need to take each day. Of 1,000 seniors surveyed, 51 percent take at least 5 different prescription medications each day. 25 percent of seniors take between 10 and 19 pills each day. 57 percent of respondents admit that they forget to take their medications. Amongst respondents taking 5 or more medications, 63 percent say that they forget their medication doses.
Additionally, the survey suggests that the top concern for individuals taking prescription medications is the cost of the medications. 40 percent of seniors taking 5 or more medications daily cited the cost of these medications as their primary concern – not forgetting to take the medications or the side effects of the medications.
According to the survey, 60 percent of Medicare beneficiaries take steps to avoid reaching the prescription medication coverage gap by asking their doctors for free samples or by taking generic medications instead of name-brand counterparts. In fact, 76 percent of Medicare beneficiaries choose generic medications over name-brand medications because of the cost.
Medicare Supplement insurance can help to ease the cost of prescription medications for some qualifying Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare Supplemental insurance – also known as Medigap insurance – helps to close the gap between what traditional Medicare plans cover. By enrolling in a Medicare Supplemental insurance plan, Medicare beneficiaries can ease the burden of worrying about high-cost prescription medications.
Contact us today to learn more about Medicare Supplemental insurance and how such a plan could help you save money and ensure that you get the best health care coverage for all of your health care needs.

Was it a real threat or merely a bluff when Granite and Salt Lake school districts claimed inequities in the proposed realignment would keep their high schools from participating with the Utah High School Activities Association?
We'll never know, since the realignment was amended to the districts' satisfaction prior to being approved Wednesday."We don't have to worry about it now," said David Richards, Region 3 chairman.
"It might have been a bluff," admitted Granite School District President Lynn Davidson. Of course, it was Davidson who, in the middle of heated debate Wednesday, declared the initial proposal as "not acceptable . . . We will not participate in any circumstance in this realignment if it passes."
It did pass - with Regions 2 and 3 becoming a three-division mega-league, with teams playing opponents within their league annually and non-division opponents once every three years.
This was the arrangement that Davidson and others had proposed, to help balance the lumping of two of Granite's smaller schools - Skyline and Olympus - in with Jordan District heavyweights such as Alta, Brighton and Hillcrest.
Davidson said he came up with the multi-division approach while watching an NFL game on TV, realizing that pro football's divisonal approach to scheduling could be adapted to resolve some differences in the 4A.
Rather than have two smaller 4A schools become a pair of athletic pushovers against five larger-sized schools, Davidson said the three-division approach to athletic scheduling would help even up the competition an increased number of opponents spread over a three-year period.
A school would face each of its divisional foes, plus several randomly selected non-division opponents from the two-region confeerence.
Davidson and others were so serious about the threat-bluff that they had drawn up a "Region II/III MetroConference" - Region II comprised of East, Highland, Skyline, Olympus and Cottonwood; Region III including Taylorsville, Granger, Cyprus, Kearns and 1990 addition Hunter.
The divisonal scheduling that was to involve two divisions now will be expanded to three, with the five Jordan-area schools being added as a separate division. Final details of the divisions and scheduling still need to be worked out, but at least the arrangement has the blessing of the UHSAA. | <urn:uuid:db4bf1f5-4f74-40ce-a64e-91b41968a9a2> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.deseretnews.com/article/30540/UHSSA-ISNT-WORRIED-ABOUT-THREAT-OR-WAS-IT-A-BLUFF-BY-GRANITE-NOW.html | 2018-05-26T20:31:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867859.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526190648-20180526210648-00052.warc.gz | en | 0.97798 | 478 |

There is no place more socially acceptable to consume a cheeseburger on a glazed donut, a husk of corn, and a deep-fried candy bar — all before 10 a.m. — than a state fair.
As summer draws nearer, so too does state fair season, an archetypal American pastime that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

16. Kane County Fair
It may be a county fair, but this dark horse still clears the top 20. Located in Saint Charles, Illinois, Kane County Fair has everything from professional bull riders to racing pigs to a car show.
15. Delaware State Fair

Hosted in Ventura, California, this county fair began in 1875 primarily as a horse racing event. Now, nearly 150 years later, the beachside fair includes everything from photography exhibits to delectable garlic fries to rodeos and Grandstand concerts.

Known as "New England's great state fair," the Eastern States Exposition is held in Springfield, Massachusetts — but celebrates all six New England states.

While not a "state fair" per se, with 1.6 million visitors each year, the San Diego County Fair is easily one of the largest county fairs in the country. It has over 4,000 attractions at its scenic seaside location, varying from corn husking contests to gems, and minerals shows. Insiders recommend the turkey legs wrapped in bacon.
2. The State Fair of Texas
Texas hosts a fair that runs for 24 days, making it the longest-running and largest fair in the nation. Hosted at historical landmark Fair Park, the State Fair of Texas' theme this year is "Celebrating Texas Innovation."

1. The Minnesota State Fair
Minnesota boasts the second-largest state fair in the United States, with nearly 2 million people in attendance in 2017.

About The Project
We had worked with this gallery in Geelong previously, and they came back to us when updating their space. There are high ceilings in this warehouse style building and the client created their own suspended structure on which to surface-mount track. This brings the light level down, and track is set back 1m from the artwork. We’ve used white 15W Le Art Gallery Wall Wash lights for this project, which are dimmable and have a high CRI level of 90 to accurately render the colours of the pieces on display. | <urn:uuid:1c721d61-8460-4372-b620-cc2408067430> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://ledworld.com.au/projects/boom-art-gallery/ | 2022-07-03T17:58:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104248623.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220703164826-20220703194826-00011.warc.gz | en | 0.963775 | 116 |
Thesis #52 – All people without significant agricultural ancestry should revert to patterns of nutrition and activity which have physiological effects like those of hunter-gatherer lifestyles, in order to slow their aging and hasten its cessation.
The case of individuals who do not come from long-established agricultural populations is much less ambiguous. All such individuals should avoid (i) agricultural foods, (ii) exposure to the abundant pathogens harbored by agricultural societies, and (iii) activity patterns more appropriate to the cultivation of crops or the herding of dairy animals. Individuals with such ancestry who avail themselves of modern medicine, sanitation, vaccination, and the like, but avoid the forgoing environmental factors, could have their medical prospects can be transformed.
As Lindeberg documents extensively in his book “Food and Western Disease,” such individuals can obtain dramatic relief from chronic Western diseases by avoiding the diet and activity patterns of the Western lifestyle. His data show a dramatic improvement with respect to the risks and debilitation of specific chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, among those who have done this.
In Hamiltonian terms, what occurs with such lifestyle transitions, among individuals with non-agricultural ancestry, is a recovery of high levels of adaptation, or Darwinian fitness, upon reversion to the physiological environment to which these populations are well-adapted. If the tools of modern medicine and public health are added to such a recovery of adaptation, these populations will have transformed their aging process. They will have a higher level of adaptation when young, and will not be subjected to as rapid a deterioration when older.
But there are still greater possible benefits. For the demography of life-history evolution in such hunter-gatherer populations is very likely to have entailed the potential for a much earlier age at which aging stops. Among these populations, if they make the lifestyle transition that I am recommending here, it may be possible for them to halt their aging at a surprisingly high level of function, and then sustain that high level of function indefinitely. These individuals, in effect, have the potential to be the vanguard of post-aging human life. Given sufficient attention to their intermittent medical needs, they may show the rest of the species what the eventual “defeat of aging” might look like for the rest of the species.
It should be born in mind that this prospect is available only to those whose ancestry has suffered the least introgression of gene sequences from agricultural populations. There are no doubt relatively few people like this alive today. Yet they are among the most important test-cases for the conquest of aging in our time. As such, it would behoove the rest of us to treat them particularly well, as research with them may offer us some of our best clues as to how we can escape from our protracted and severely debilitating aging. | <urn:uuid:c0cb245c-84a2-471d-ba4e-9ff339ceec9d> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://55theses.org/2011/03/18/thesis-52/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2021-03-03T20:03:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178367790.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303200206-20210303230206-00610.warc.gz | en | 0.958933 | 576 |
UCLA football: Defensive end Derrick Bryant transferring
“I enjoyed my time out in Los Angeles, but I got home sick,” said Bryant, who sat out last season as a redshirt. “I missed my family. I want to see my little sister grow up.”
Bryant, who played at Columbus Brookhaven High School, was ranked the 34th best strong side defensive end in the nation by Rivals.com. He missed the 2010 season after undergoing shoulder surgery.
Bryant said he is considering several schools, with North Carolina, Nebraska and Indiana topping the list. He has three years of eligibility remaining.

Shouldn’t all Christians struggle with unanswered prayer? The bible has many references that could be considered promises of affirmative answers to our prayers. And even without those I believe in a God who loves me. Wouldn’t any good father give a child what they asked for? Would a good father allow his children to suffer?
I may sound angry. I am not angry at all right now. In fact I can’t really point to an unanswered prayer of mine that is particularly bothering me at the moment. I have been thinking a lot about faith and belief lately. I have struggled with prayer because I am afraid of unanswered prayer. I don’t want to ask for fear of not receiving. What kind of belief is that?
So perhaps the key is to struggle with unanswered prayer. The alternative, for me anyway, is to not see any answer to prayer at all. | <urn:uuid:3713f09e-d557-4726-8a94-9f699d1c7b8f> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://unforcedrhythm.blogspot.com/2007/04/unanswered-prayer.html | 2017-11-24T20:24:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808935.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124195442-20171124215442-00127.warc.gz | en | 0.983103 | 182 |

TPP would further empower foreign pharmaceutical corporations to directly attack our domestic patent and drug-pricing laws in foreign tribunals. Already under NAFTA, which does not contain new corporate privileges proposed for the TPP, drug firm Eli Lilly has launched such a case against Canada, demanding $500 million for the government's enforcement of its own patent standards.
The TPP would also empower foreign corporations to directly challenge domestic toxics, zoning, cigarette and alcohol and other public health and environmental policies, and to demand taxpayer compensation for "expected future profits" they claim were inhibited by such policies. Often initiatives to improve such laws are chilled by the mere filing of such an "investor-state" case. In other instances, countries eliminate the attacked policies. For instance, Canada lifted a ban on a gasoline additive banned in the U.S. as a known human neurotoxin after an investor-state attack by Ethyl Corporation under NAFTA. Canada also paid the firm $13 million and published a formal statement that the chemical was not hazardous.
Cases now underway include:
- In 2008, Uruguay began implementing its obligations under the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, including enhanced tobacco warning labels and requiring plain packaging for cigarettes. In 2010, Australia followed suit. Philip Morris responded by launching "investor-state" challenges against both countries' tobacco control policies, asking extrajudicial tribunals to order the governments to suspend plain packaging and compensate the corporate tobacco giant for "losses." Even though Australia's High Court upheld the country's plain packaging laws in 2012, Philip Morris continued to use a foreign investor-state tribunal to try to roll back this important public health policy, until the case was dismissed, only after Australia had spent $50 million in legal costs, according to the World Health Organization Director General.
- For years, Renco Group Inc., a company owned by one of the richest men in America, operated a metal smelter in La Oroya, Peru, which became notorious when the site was designated as one of the top 10 most polluted places in the world. Sulfur dioxide concentrations in La Oroya, which greatly exceed international standards and pose severe respiratory risks, doubled in the years after Renco's acquisition of the complex. Renco's Peruvian subsidiary promised to install sulfur plants by 2007 as part of a government-mandated environmental remediation program, but it sought (and Peru granted) two extraordinary extensions to complete the project. In December 2010, Renco notified Peru that it would use the U.S.-Peru FTA investor-state system to demand $800 million from the Peruvian government for not granting the corporation a third extension on its unfulfilled environmental commitments. | <urn:uuid:807f880c-62dd-4d1d-9628-8cd46c2da886> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.citizen.org/tpp-public-health | 2016-05-29T13:30:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049279525.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002119-00141-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947305 | 547 |
WASHINGTON — The International Monetary Fund said Wednesday that the global economy is "highly vulnerable" to adverse shocks and urged the United States and other major governments to prepare contingency plans that could be rolled out quickly to boost growth.
The IMF report said a fragile global recovery has weakened further in the face of increasing financial market turbulence, falling oil prices and diminished growth prospects in China and other emerging market countries.
The lending agency said that the world's 20 largest economies should keep pursing growth strategies they have already unveiled. But it adds that G-20 nations should develop additional measures that could be implemented quickly if growth keeps wilting.
The IMF report will be delivered at a meeting Friday and Saturday of G-20 finance officials in Shanghai. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen will represent the United States at the discussions.

Lew played down any expectations that the Shanghai meeting would produce specific growth plans similar to the ones rolled out in the spring of 2009 when policymakers were trying to restore confidence in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and a deep global recession.
"Don't expect a crisis response in a non-crisis environment," Lew said in an interview broadcast Wednesday by Bloomberg Television. "It's not the job of finance ministers and central bank governors to accelerate a crisis. It's our job to try and avoid a crisis."
Lew said that he did not expect the G-20 discussions to produce specific plans of "what each country is going to do and how."
Rather, he said the meeting would likely produce "a more stable understanding of what the future may look like" including greater clarity form the Chinese government about its plans to deal with a pronounced slowdown in that country. Worries about China's intentions have been blamed for increasing market volatility this year.
"It's not the job of finance ministers and central bank governors to accelerate a crisis. It's our job to try and avoid a crisis."
The IMF last month trimmed its economic forecast for global growth by 0.2 percentage point for both 2016 and 2017, reducing its projection to 3.4 per cent this year and 3.6 per cent next year. The new report said a further downgrade is "likely" in April when the IMF's next forecast is released.
All of the economic headwinds point "to higher risks of a derailed recovery, at a moment when the global economy is highly vulnerable to adverse shocks," the IMF cautioned.
The report said that policymakers should not rely too much on central banks keeping interest rates low to bolster growth. Where appropriate, tax cuts and government spending increases should be used to support economic growth, the IMF said.
In addition, the IMF said that countries at the centre of the current Syrian refugee crisis and epidemics such as the Zika virus "are shouldering a burden for others and could be backed up by a co-ordinated global initiative."

A selection of Cape Town restaurants and cafés offering free wireless Internet
Everyone searches for a spot offering Wi-fi (also known as Wifi or wireless Internet) at some point or another, whether it’s so that they can quickly check emails, get their daily social media fix or just get some serious work in within a comfy environment. With so many different Wi-fi hotspots in Cape Town’s city centre, all of which differ slightly in their ambience and offering (they range from trendy and bustling to quiet and business-like), it can be quite tricky to find the setting that suits your needs. Not to mention, the requirements for using a spot’s free Web offering can be difficult to navigate – is it necessary to order a big meal? Is it fine to just grab a coffee? So, to answer such questions and to bring you the lowdown on the Mother City’s wireless Internet scene, we’ve scoured Cape Town to find a variety of top cafés, restaurants and bars offering great food, a relaxed setting and, of course, FREE Wi-fi. | <urn:uuid:8aee55b0-d8f5-4bf8-b7b0-1956b7db47ec> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://b4i.travel/za/travel-tips/10-top-wi-fi-hotspots-cape-town/ | 2018-04-20T14:20:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125938462.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20180420135859-20180420155859-00245.warc.gz | en | 0.933176 | 229 |
On February 24th Royal Caribbean revealed the name of it;s third Oasis class ship which will become the worlds largest once completed. Well now the cruise line has released further details of harmony of the Seas thrills and adventures, let the build up begin!
The huge 227,700 ton vessel will be a similar design to sister ships Oasis and Allure of the Seas including different neighborhoods that offer different experiences and environments. one of the first onboard features revealed are the three multi story water slides that are 3 decks high and look-over the Central park neighborhood. One of the slides also will feature a champagne bowl that swirls guests around as they make their approach to the end of the ride.
“The Oasis class ships continue to astound and delight both new and experienced cruisers. They shatter preconceived notions of what cruising can be and continue to stand in a category by themselves,” said Richard D. Fain, Chairman and CEO, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. “With Harmony of the Seas, we are making the most exciting experience at sea even better.”
One of Quantum of the Seas most popular innovations is the Bionic Bar that features two robotic bartenders. Now this new space will be feature aboard Harmony of the Seas on the Royal Promenade. many of the new technology advance from Quantum of the Seas will be brought over to harmony of the Seas including the WOW bands which passengers can use to purchase items and open their staterooms doors. Advanced internet will also be available onboard.
Virtual balconies will be fitted to bring an ocean view to all staterooms and the ship will be having even larger living areas for guests to enjoy. In addition to new cabin options for different types of cruisers Harmony of the Seas will have stateroom suites where guests can enjoy new areas, from a well-appointed suite lounge and a private suites-only restaurant called Coastal Kitchen to an exclusive full-service Suite Sun Zone sun deck.
Royal Caribbean are offering guests to choose between “Dynamic Dining” which originally failed on Quantum of the Seas and “Classic Dining”. Classic dining will bring the old two set time seating’s which are popular on many other cruise lines. Guests can rotate through each of the main complimentary restaurants at an early- or a late-seating time throughout their cruise with their dining group and the same assigned waiter each evening.
There will be new specialty restaurants including Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, with a new teppanyaki menu, the Sabor Modern Mexican restaurant and the new Wonderland Imaginative Cuisine where chefs twist their culinary kaleidoscopes in a whimsical setting that challenges the imagination with never-before-seen fare.
Harmony of the Seas will span 16 decks, encompass 227,000 gross registered tons, carry 5,479 guests at double occupancy, and feature 2,747 staterooms.
Even though all the talk this week has been about Harmony of the Seas just remember that Royal Caribbean still has to take delivery of two other ships currently under construction including Anthem of the Seas which is almost complete and Ovation of the Seas in April 2016. This will be a very busy time for Royal Caribbean but that’s nothing new when it comes to new cruise ships. | <urn:uuid:9ed0aebe-9e59-4f5f-b36f-4251d5e209d7> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.cruisehive.com/harmony-of-the-seas-will-take-cruising-to-another-level/6245 | 2017-12-14T08:19:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948542031.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20171214074533-20171214094533-00450.warc.gz | en | 0.948889 | 676 |
This all sounds like lots of fun, in spite of the work involved to make it all happen, doesn’t it? But there’s one more very important step to having a successful corn maze. And that’s safety-for both you and your visitors. or you, the farmer, safety means:
Having liability insurance is an important means of protecting yourself from accidents and expensive litigation. Successful businesses face litigation, whether meritorious or frivolous. You don’t want your operation to be over before it gets started. The amount of insurance you have and the premiums you pay will (in part) be based on the activities you offer (the assumed risk involved), the safety measures you have in place (many of which will be required before insurance can be in place) and the scope of your business.
Interruption of business insurance is another valuable safety feature for maze owners. Excessive rains, winds, crop destruction and even fire could ruin your season. You need to be protected.
You also need to make sure you have any required permits from your county for operating. Talk about embarrassing…and costly. Be sure to check with your local fire department as they are the ones that usually hold up corn mazes for inadequate protection against fire. If concessions are offered, you need to know what, if any, health department rules need to be followed. NOTE: These usually apply only if the concessions are not commercially pre-packaged treats. Some counties are more lenient than others when it comes to farm-related concessions, but check to be sure. Each county has its own interpretation of ‘assumed risk’ when it comes to farmer’s markets/agricultural concessions.
Another measure that you can take to decrease the potential for costly litigation is to have signs posted stating you are not liable for accidents or injuries and require liability waivers signed by visitors. Seeking legal counsel in writing your waiver is advisable. Also have rules and expectations clearly posted and hand out to each visitor along with a map of the maze. Oh, and that’s after you’ve gone over them briefly when they arrive. NOTE: If keeping track of all those waivers sounds like a nightmare, you might want to consider the following option. Have a guest book that includes the waiver opposite every page guests sign in on. Clearly post the fact that signing in is required and that by doing so, releases you from liability.
Some of the rules/expectations you need to consider posting include:
- Liability waivers or guest sign-in that is equivalent to signing a waiver is mandatory before entering the maze
- No running
- No tobacco, smoking or alcohol on the premises
- Shoes required
- No glass containers
- Children under the age of 12 must carry a whistle or flag (supplied) n case of panic or getting lost
- No tromping down corn or leaving the paths
- No admittance after dark. NOTE: The exception to this rule might be special dark-nights when flashlights are used for winding through the maze and close supervision is in place.
As for the safety of your visitors, you need to have some or all of the following measures in place:
- Corn cops. These are employees who are stationed throughout the maze (wearing t-shirts indentifying then as such) who assist visitors if needed, insure that visitors follow rules and regulations and treat the maze and other visitors with respect and pre-empt any potential problems. It’s also advisable to station corn cops on a scaffolding or tower that overlooks the maze to keep watch for misconduct, those that get lost or confused and emergency situations.
- Supply employees with walkie-talkies for communication purposes.
- Have a plan for medical emergencies-including notification of accessibility to the maze by emergency vehicles if necessary. Provide first-aid training to employees. Equip them with basic first-aid kits and keep a more extensive kit at the maze office or entry fee booth.
- Have a plan for fire emergencies. Start in the planning stages by incorporating safety measures such as a firebreak between the maze and adjoining properties. Then make sure all employees know where the nearest water source is in case of fire and have fire extinguishers on hand.
- Supply those under twelve (and anyone else who wishes to have one) with a whistle or flag to alert corn cops if they become disoriented or panic.
- Go over the rules of the maze with each visitor and supply a map so that if they desire to use one, they’ll have it.
- Mark both the maze and the map to allow visitors to know where they’re at, how far they’ve come, etc.
- Walk the maze at the end of the evening to ensure that no patrons are left on the premises. | <urn:uuid:105fbb74-8fff-47f1-b6fb-ef670f49944a> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.funtober.com/cornmaze/farmers-guide-safety/ | 2017-06-29T03:49:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323864.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629033356-20170629053356-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.950149 | 990 |
LOS ANGELES — In the face of threatened legal action from the football star Jameis Winston, CNN did not back away from broadcasting “The Hunting Ground,” a documentary about sexual assault on college campuses that has stirred controversy since its January debut at the Sundance Film Festival.
“CNN is proud to provide a platform for a film that has undeniably played a significant role in advancing the national conversation about sexual assault on college campuses,” the network said in a statement. The film was shown on the network at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday.
Mr. Winston, a quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is the focus of a segment in “The Hunting Ground.” While attending Florida State University in 2012, Mr. Winston was accused of sexual assault. He asserted his innocence, did not face criminal rape charges and was cleared of violating Florida State’s student code of conduct. The movie, directed by Kirby Dick and produced by Amy Ziering, asserts that Mr. Winston received preferential treatment from officials.

Bob Stewart is a talented singer, a throwback to such crooners of the '40s and '50s as Dick Haymes, Buddy Clark, the Eberle (Eberly) brothers and their musical cousins. The voice is clear and pleasant, midway between tenor and baritone, the lyric interpretation forthright and unvarnished. The liner notes say Stewart has been compared to Sinatra and Tormé, but that may be stretching things a bit. He's closer to Vic Damone, but even here the gulf between them is wide. Still, Stewart has his own winning way with a song, and it's no surprise that he has returned to his first love after abandoning the music business several decades ago to make a living. On this fourth album since his return, Stewart scans a number of pages from the Great American Songbook and detours halfway through the performance to reprise half a dozen charming themes by Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. He's accompanied on all but three selections by the nondescript Hollywood Sound Stage Orchestra whose drab arrangements make Mantovani or the 101 Strings sound electrifying. Pianist Ray Cohen fares better on "Imagination" and "Last Night When We Were Young," as does the Todd Firth Trio on "Forget the Woman." Too bad they couldn't have backed Stewart on every number. As you may have guessed by now, Stewart isn't a Jazz singer, nor does he pretend to be. He sings Love Songs
his way, which is low-key but likable.

[gst-devel] git win32 ppk
julien.isorce at gmail.com
Fri Jul 25 02:25:31 CEST 2008
Just a word about using git on win32 for few days.
I am using msys-git ( I past the same link I saw in the gstreamer mailing
list: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ ).
It works pretty fine.
In GitBash the minimum vital commands are : git pull, git status, git add
file, git commit -m "msg", git push, git reset --hard HEAD.
And GitGUI is usefull to have a full view of logs and histories.
About using ssh, rsa and other stuffs, it was not so easy but the summary is
install putty, use puttygen gui to generate a .ppk file that contains pub
and private keys.
(So you can use this .ppk through putty tools)
Then you have two solutions to use it with git.
The easiest is to convert this ppk file : puttygen mykey.ppk -O
private-openssh -o mykey
Then : ssh-add mykey
finally: git clonse ssh://firstname.lastname@example.org/git/stuff.git/
Note that you can use this solution on linux too, if you want to re-use your
The second solution was to use the .ppk file through pageant when cloning.

Gentle Friends, well, we have arrived at 2013, and stretched out before us is a brand new year. Although last was a less than stellar year for me, I am hoping that 2013 will be better.
At least on the stitching front things are good. With two great SAL's out there - Santa's Village from CCN and the new "Little Sheep Virtue's" from LHN. The first sheep "Hope" is super cute and I am sure that the rest of the flock will be also!!
On my own stitching front, I did not finish the grass on ATS, and I'm still stitching "Green Apple." I am sure it will wrap up in the next week or so, so it will have to be a first finish for this year.
I did get my New Year piece going on January 1st, actually I worked on it all day. I just couldn't get it to come out even and there was lots of frogs and restitching!! Here's a snap of the start...
I am stitching "Autumn" on a piece of 36ct Light Vintage Sand from LL. I am using the recommended NPI silks, as I did on the two previous HRH pieces I stitched. I think, or hope that I can get this finished up be the end of the year and have Christmas at HRH as next years New Year Start. I don't know why I was having so much trouble with this simple single stitched line, but, for some reason I just couldn't keep my count..... it couldn't have been the "Downton Abbey" Marathon going on with my BluRay player?????
Yes, that is the quiet thing we did all weekend - watched the 1st and 2nd Seasons of DA - and now Rico is hooked!!! We can't wait for the 3rd Season to start up this Sunday!! And, we cant wait for the sparks to fly with Mrs. Levinson (Shirley McClain) coming over for Lady Mary's wedding.....
There will sparks a plenty between the two grandmothers!!!!
That's about it for today sports fans.

Algebraic and geometric properties of lattice polytopes.
Prof. Dr. C. Haase (FU), Akiyoshi Tasuchiya (Japan)
Freie Universität Berlin. Research Alumni Programm.
(1) The reflexive dimension of a lattice polytope.
The reflexive polytope is one of the keywords belonging to the current trends in research of lattice polytopes. Haase and Melinkov showed that every lattice polytope is a face of some reflexive polytope. This lead us to consider which lattice polytopes are facets of reflexive polytopes. In particular, I conjecture that every 0/1-polytope is a facet of some reflexive polytope. Recently, we were able to prove this conjecture for the following classes of 0/1-polytopes:
(i) 0/1-polytopes up to dimension 4;
(ii) order polytopes and hypersimplices;
(iii) the stable set polytope of perfect graphs.
One of the goals of the Research Alumni Program is to generalize these results. Concretely, I will consider this problem for 0/1-polytopes of dimension 5 and for compressed polytopes. The class of compressed polytopes contains (ii) and (iii).
(2) The unimodality of the h*-vector of an alcoved polytope.
One of the most popular open problems is Stanley's unimodality conjecture. I will consider this conjecture for alcoved polytopes. Alcoved polytopes have good triangulations and this property should be useful to attack Stanley's conjecture. One of the goals of the Research Alumni Program is to solve this conjecture for order polytopes and hypersimplices. Note that these polytopes are alcoved polytopes.
These two problems are important in the study of lattice polytopes.

This year, Mother’s Day just happened to fall on the same day as our boy’s 8th birthday, and as is the birthday tradition that he established for himself a couple of years ago, we always go out and have a big breakfast together to celebrate. With it being Mom’s Day too, the wife and I decided that a great way to start our day of celebration would be a family fun morning of airplane watching at OSU’s Don Scott Field in Dublin and a gut-busting breakfast at Jack & Benny’s Barnstormer Diner.
Late last year, Geno Garcia – long-time owner of one of Ohio State campus’ favorite hangover eateries, Jack & Benny’s – opened the diner in a space where others had struggled. For over a decade, the tiny diner at the small-engine terminal off of Sawmill Rd. was simply known as “The Barnstormer”, and had seen several changes of ownership before closing and reopening under new management in 2012 as “Barnstormer Grill”. When the grill closed again last year, Caruso’s love for aviation, and for the restaurant business, prompted him to adopt the one-room dining hall as the newest venture for the Jack & Benny’s brand name.
Much like their north campus location, Jack & Benny’s Barnstormer Diner is decorated with a fair amount of OSU kitsch, but also displays a little historical aviation photography and other similar décor to tie in to the airport theme. The dining space itself is quite small but cozy, with eight to ten tables and a little kitchen and counter on one end.
The diner shares an interior wall which connects to a small hanger, housing several small planes. The great thing is, Geno keeps the door opened (though there is a gate up to keep out the curious) so that people can take a peek at some of the aircraft that park there. I have to say, it’s pretty darn cool that you can check out big, shiny airplanes with your kids while waiting for your breakfast to cook. I know it kept us busy!
Aside from the obvious divergence in location, this incarnation of J&B’s isn’t all that different, grub-wise. They actually serve the exact same menu that their campus shop does, so fans of the original can expect the same great dishes at the Barnstormer. I mean, why mess with a good thing, right? Known for their enormous “Gut busters”, Jack & Benny’s can also bust your gut in Dublin now, too! In addition, their scrambles, omelets, flapjacks, and everything else that you love about their menu is all available here.
During our visit, we sampled one version of their famous ‘busters – the Benny Buster ($7.50). It was a huge plate of two potato pancakes, bacon, ham, an egg and cheese, all stacked and topped with country gravy, and came with a side of toast. If you’re hungry, this meal will fill your belly, guaranteed.
Mrs. Grub Guy said that this stack of some of her favorite morning foods was delicious and filling. Just take a look at that plate. That’s some good breakfast grub right there!
The boy wanted a single Buckeye Pancake ($2.85) and a Side of 2 Eggs ($2.00). This griddle masterpiece was a medium-sized serving, which was perfect for him. It was loaded with peanut butter and chocolate chips, and was fluffy and light. The eggs were “dippy” (over easy) just like he wanted. He said it was a great birthday breakfast!
Here’s the Philly Steak Omelet ($6.50) with a Side of Hash Browns ($1.75). Living in Philadelphia for six years, I’ve had many a cheesesteak, and many foods that have been labeled as a “Philly”, from pizzas to French fries to omelets. Most of these attempts (at least at the places outside of Philadelphia) consist of mediocre shredded beef, whatever cheeses might be on hand, and a poor excuse for peppers and onions.
But Jack & Benny’s did fairly well with this dish. It was a big two egger stuffed with a quick-cook sirloin patty, nicely sautéed onions, green peppers and mushrooms, and some cheese (I believe it was white American). The flavors were good and I give them an A for effort. The hash browns were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked.
Jack & Benny’s Barnstormer Diner is definitely a new favorite for our family, and a welcome addition to the abysmal Dublin breakfast scene. Their hours at this location are also the same as their campus shop, and they serve breakfast “all day”. Right now, I’m betting you can get in pretty easily during the week for some of their outstanding morning vittles, with weekends drawing a little bit more of a crowd. We only had to wait about 10 minutes or so on Mother’s Day, so it wasn’t too bad. I’m sure the faster word spreads that you can now get J&B’s brand of breakfast in the ‘burbs, this place will be packed just about day you choose.
Another cool attraction is that after breakfast, you can head over to the adjacent airport terminal, in which the old control tower has been turned into an observation room! Yep, by simply climbing a few short staircases (way to start working off that Gutbuster!!), you can gaze across the tarmac and watch the planes take off and land, which is definitely a fun thing to do no matter what age you are! We sat and watched for probably twenty minutes, and our son loved it! I took this picture of him & the Mrs. to commemorate the day :) (Notice the Spidey shirts? After breakfast our next birthday stop was to the theater for Spiderman 2!)
So, if you have a morning free, spend it with the family at Jack & Benny’s Barnstormer Diner. The kids will love the planes, and you’ll love the grub!
Jack & Benny’s Barnstormer Diner is located at 2160 W. Case Rd, Dublin, OH 43017 (Map). They’re open Monday – Friday, 7:00am – 3:00pm, and Saturday – Sunday, 8:00am – 3:00pm.

- Gang leader pleads guilty in federal court
- Dennis Gil-Bernandez gets 76 years
- Conspiracy led to murders, officials say
A leader of the violent MS-13 gang in the Middle Atlantic region pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to a conspiracy responsible for a long list of crimes, including murders, federal authorities announced Friday.
Dennis Gil-Bernardez, a native of Honduras, was considered a key figure by federal officials who launched a major campaign to cripple the MS-13 organization in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
He received a 76-year sentence.
Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, originated in Los Angeles 20 years ago among Salvadoran immigrants fleeing the country's civil war. The government says it has now grown to about 10,000 members in the United States. In October, the Obama administration named the organization a transnational criminal enterprise, with the goal of freezing millions of dollars in profits from drug and sex trafficking operations.
Gil-Bernardez allegedly told authorities that the gang now has a presence in 20 states and the District of Columbia.
The Gil-Bernardez plea Friday included the admission of two murders in Washington, D.C. A third man he severely wounded survived, authorities said. Gil-Bernandez admitted that, after consulting with a top MS-13 leader jailed in El Salvador, he ordered one of the murders to be done by a conspirator. The target of that brutal killing was found stabbed to death on a street in the nation's capital, officials said.
Several MS-13 members were indicted in Washington in November 2011. Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer described the charges as "a chilling array of violent crimes, including shootings, stabbings, and kidnappings."
Gil-Bernardez was previously convicted in Virginia of multiple shootings and sentenced to 80 years in prison. | <urn:uuid:fd66d043-5b4c-465e-805d-ca2d5a1da949> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/07/justice/gang-leader-sentence/index.html?hpt=ju_c2 | 2016-07-27T16:10:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257826908.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071026-00004-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950691 | 388 |

Website Analytics May 28th, 2009
This article extends on a recent article written by Matt on the 4 Ways To Measure Your Conversions With PPC. To Measure your website – goals are essential. I can’t put it better than Matt’s statement:-
‘Goals and conversions are where it’s at. These are the true measure of success in your PPC campaigns (and everything else for that matter!). Clicks tell you the number of people who arrived at your site, but tell you nothing about what they did in terms of interacting with your web site and completing tasks.’
But did you know that you can measure goals for all your traffic sources in Google Analytics? It is great to be able to see how effective your Pay Per Click spend is, but below I help describe how to measure conversions using the Google Analytics tool.
Most of the time, tracking a conversion or goal through Google Analytics is relatively straightforward. For example, when a thank you page is accessed after a lead is submitted or a checkout is completed, add these goals to your Google Analytics profile and suddenly you have the ability to see how effective your traffic sources and keywords are being at creating conversions. In fact, by applying these goals you can look at how a huge number of metrics affect goal conversion.
The graphic to the right provides a snapshot of which traffic sources have resulted in goal completion. As you can see, placing a value for the goal allows a per visit value to be calculated, valuable information for deciding where to allocate your campaign budgets.
Sometimes in Google Analytics, we need to track a goal that doesn’t have a page to record a visit to. This can be a mail form that doesn’t link to a thank you page, or perhaps a link to an external link to an online reservation system. How do we track this?
1) Identify the goal/link to track. Example below is for an online booking system for a hotel chain.
The image to the right shows 5 email inquiries that were initially considered to be the only conversions on this site. Now, because we have setup a new goal, we can also see 144 online reservations that were not being tracked before. This provides a much more accurate picture of how effective this website is being.
The aim of all this goal measurement is to understand the true value of your website and the internet marketing campaigns that you are running. It is understanding how many customers your site really brings to you which then allows you to see how effective your online ad spend is for you. Measuring goals as effectively as possible unlocks this information and allows you to make “data driven decisions”. There is nothing better then taking opinion out of your decision making and going with ones that are driven by data. | <urn:uuid:6ae609b9-c4fe-4bb8-9e18-53a069526141> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://www.techwyse.com/blog/website-analytics/improve-conversion-using-google-analytics-virtual-pageviews/ | 2018-12-17T01:28:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376828018.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20181216234902-20181217020902-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.940484 | 567 |
Top 9 for 2009: Top Google Posts from Marketing Jive
| Thursday, December 17, 2009
||Our second installment of our top posts of 2009 features our favorite Google related posts from the past year of 2009. Google (GOOG), like most companies, experienced it's share of highs and lows in 2009. Speaking of shares, here is a quick peek as to how Google's shares fared in 2009.
So what was Google up against in 2009? Here are a few reminders:
- On January 16, 2009, Google's share price was at a YTD low at $299.67
- Google's share price was at it's highest YTD today, December 16, 2009 when shares closed at $597.76
- Google's all time high share price was in December 7, 2007 as shares peaked at $714.87
With Marketing Jive being focused around online marketing, specifically organic search marketing, many of our posts surround SEO and how Google continues to try and produce the most relevant results within their search results. We expect big things from Google, as they continue to innovate with their search engine. As a result, here is a look at some of our top Google related posts from the past year.
- a struggling economy
- advertisers shifting online advertising spend away from sponsored search to natural (organic) search
- real-time search from entities such as Facebook and Twitter
- competitive mergers with the partnership of Microsoft and Yahoo
Top Google Posts from 2009
#9. Google's Best Practices for Product Search - in June, we posted some of Google's best practices for product search. Product search is one of the many forms of universal (blended) search results that Google display in their main results. If you are an e-commerce site and sell products on your website you should be leveraging Google Base and Google Product Search.
#8. Google Continues to Tweak Algorithms Specific to Link Computation - we touched on Page Rank Sculpting and some of the changes Google was making to their algorithm that was specific to link computation. Will there come a time when Google places less value on link popularity? Many suggest no, but we think that in order to provide the most relevant results in the future, Google may place less emphasis on link popularity especially with the ability of site owners to go out and purchase links and artificially populate their link inventories. The site with the most links is not always the most relevant site for a given search query... link popularity can only go so far.
#7. Google Caffeine: Universal Search Results are Influenced by Rankings - look for Google Caffeine to completely roll out in the near future (some say it has already rolled out in full). In September, we touched on something former Googler Vanessa Fox mentioned in that Universal Search results are influenced by ranking and relevance signals. Blended Search results will continue to become more conspicuous as users interact with them more often and become accustomed to clicking on video, news, shopping, local and other types of blended search results.
#6. Why Blended Search is Important to Google Caffeine - at number six we have an interesting post on what blended search will be important to the Google Caffeine update that is currently underway in Google.
#5. 5 Great Features of Google Webmaster Tools - we love Google Webmaster Tools. It is one of the greatest tools that a site owner can use to diagnose indexing and search issues for a website. Google continues to add great features to GWT and we look at five of those features in this post from October.
#4. Understanding Google Caffeine - just what is Google Caffeine anyway? Is it an infrastructure update or an algorithm update? Will it impact your rankings and visibility in Google's search index or not? Will it provide quicker and more relevant results to the users of Google's search engine. This post will answer some of these questions and enlighten you on just what Google Caffeine is.
#3. Top Blended Search Queries in Google for 2009 - Universal Search aka Blended Search was big in 2009 and look for it to be even bigger in 2010. This post looks at some of the fastest rising searches in various types of blended results including image search, news search and mobile search.
#2. Google Displaying Breadcrumb Links in Google SERPs - we thought that this was big news as Google started rolling this feature out in November whereby they displayed breadcrumb links in their search results providing the site in question was making effective use of breadcrumb navigation. Now instead of having one link in your SERP listing, you could now have upwards of 5 or 6 links within the same result (these are in addition to any sitelinks that your site might have as well).
#1. Top 20 Google Blogs for Use in 2009 - we always like to list some of our favorite Google blogs that are out there. We highlighted some of our favorite Google blogs that we liked to visit in 2009. Previously we had posted about Google's Top 50 blogs, but we have seen some new Google blogs enter the ranks and thought that we would share them with you in an updated post. Can you guess what our favorite Google blog is? (For the record it is not the Official Google Blog as that blog entered the charts at #2).
There you have it our top 9 of 09 as to our favorite Google posts from Marketing Jive in 2009.

OPEN BOOK PRODUCTIONS
Open Book Productions was established by actress and producer Crystal Chappell in 2009, following her ten year run as Olivia Spencer on Guiding Light. Her goal was to produce original first run online programming for the changing way people view media. Their first series, Venice The Series, now in its fifth season, received the first Daytime Emmy for online content – the 2011 Emmy for Outstanding Special Class Short Format Daytime – and recently won a second, the 2014 Emmy for “Outstanding new approaches – Drama series”. Open Book Productions has also produced an hour long pilot The Grove, and their latest series, LGBT themed political drama Beacon Hill The Series, produced in collaboration with Bella Books, was nominated for the 2015 “Outstanding New Approaches – Drama Series” Emmy. | <urn:uuid:c85292b5-5b4a-44b0-b379-c78b718f227a> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://amillionhappynows.com/open-book-productions/ | 2019-02-20T13:05:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247495001.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20190220125916-20190220151916-00177.warc.gz | en | 0.961159 | 165 |
Introduction: Girly Bot Draws
I started this project by trying to build a simple Squiggle Bot. https://www.instructables.com/id/Easy-Squiggle-Bot/ Buying a computer fan was pretty expensive so I decided to try a hack instead. I bought a Dora Explorer Bubble Fan from Walgreens for $3.99 and created this girly masterpiece.
First, I disassembled the bubble fan and studied the component parts. I decided to replace the battery set-up and use a 9 V with a battery holder because it fit better into the body of the robot and that is what the Easy Squiggle Bot uses. I cut off the original AA battery holder and used it for the face of my robot. The plastic was pretty soft so it was easy to cut in to with regular scissors.
Instead of cutting the blades off the fan, I taped a heavy metal screw to one of the four blades to create an unevenly weighted fan. That made the robot kind of hop around in a circle. I want to experiment a bit more with weighting the fan because I think I can make her move in more interesting ways to create more interesting art.
To get her moving, I attach the two pieces of her tail, which completes the battery circuit. The end of one wire is a loop and the end of the other is a hook. They stay connected pretty well even when she is hopping around. | <urn:uuid:27fb2d13-bfc1-432b-ab73-9c800d6ce4ec> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.instructables.com/id/Girly-Bot-Draws/ | 2017-12-13T04:03:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948521188.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20171213030444-20171213050444-00485.warc.gz | en | 0.9514 | 294 |
With the Mariinsky Festival Swan Lake performances to be staged in about two weeks I have been thinking a great deal about this. I have been watching Swan Lake videos almost every night. Over the last four years I have probably watched the lakeside pas de deux (duet, Act I, scene ll, sometimes called Act II) twenty times or more than I have watched any other part of Swan Lake. I will often watch this duet four or five times in a row without looking at anything else.
Why do I like ballet anyway? One obvious reason has much to do with female beauty, perhaps you could say idealized female beauty, probably one of the most important things in the world for me being a man.
Odette can become an ideal for me of beauty and purity.
The Odette that I have been watching the most lately on video is Yulia Makhalina. She is a second by second ever-changing phenomena when I view her. For me there is so much going on that I am never sure the next time that I see her that I will feel the same. I may focus on a new detail or I may 'ride the wave' at a different instant and everything slightly changes.
So what do I focus on? First, I have to admit, is her porcelain doll, beautiful face. No matter what I might be feeling about her performance, the minute she looks out to the audience I go silent inside.
Her figure is extremely beautiful as well, especially as with most ballerinas, her legs.
Then there is the ideal or the spiritual or whatever you may call it----and the humanity. Physically she can capture moments of statuesque transcendence as well as anyone that I have seen. As far as character is concerned she can be a goddess, a loving shelter or an innocent child.
For me she can also display a freedom of style, a movie star's desire for effect and a pure sensual awareness.
It is the Constantly Changing Mix of all these elements that captivates me. What will she do next? Who will she be next? Blink you eye and you might be riding a different wave than you were riding last time.
Most important for me, as with most ballet performers, is the depth of feeling that I have after having watched her. | <urn:uuid:c8b8511e-3ffb-4142-8f1c-f017466ce9b7> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.ballet-dance.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=31248&start=0 | 2016-12-09T05:58:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542686.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00392-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975662 | 477 |

Batesburg-Leesville High School, Dominion Energy partnership builds hands-on experience for students
Batesburg-Leesville, SC 03/31/2021 - You just never know when opportunity will present itself. That’s exactly what happened just a few months ago when Batesburg-Leesville High School building construction teacher Benard Trotter struck up a conversation with a fellow patron at a local lumber supply store. That patron happened to be Robby Feaster, who works with Dominion Energy South Carolina as the company’s Manager of Electric Safety and Training. Out of that small talk, a grand partnership was formed.
“Robby started telling me about Dominion Energy’s training facility and how they had partnered with a school district in Columbia to have students construct some of the buildings that were used for employee training. He said they had built a few for them last year, but then COVID hit and halted construction. So, I offered for my students to step in and help as well,” said Mr. Trotter.
After meetings between the company and school took place, an agreement was reached and students in Batesburg-Leesville High School’s Career and Technology Education Center got straight to work constructing buildings that will eventually be housed at Dominion Energy’s Lake Murray Training Center. The 37-acre facility is located behind the Lake Murray dam in Lexington and is used by Dominion Energy South Carolina to provide training to apprentice linemen and electricians. CDL, crane, technical and engineering training is also conducted there.
Training at the facility ensures that Dominion Energy employees operate switches and devices in the field safely and correctly. In an effort to make the training as realistic as possible in a safe and controlled environment, officials decided to replicate neighborhoods and industrial parks at the facility by constructing roads and buildings. Once completed and delivered, the buildings being constructed by students at Batesburg-Leesville High School will represent houses and businesses that employees see in their everyday work. Trainees will be able to set meters, check voltage, and operate switches on the buildings, simulating issues they may encounter in the real world.
"Our apprentice linemen embark on a four-year, physically and mentally demanding apprenticeship that begins with conditioning themselves to climb poles as naturally as walking,” said Keller Kissam, Dominion Energy South Carolina President-Electric Operations. “When they are ready to put on a Dominion Energy uniform, one of their biggest rewards at the end of each day is looking back at projects they have built with their hands that provide safe and reliable energy to South Carolina. We are so grateful to the wonderful faculty and bright, hard-working students at Lexington School District Three who have helped enhance this important training. Their craftsmanship and knowledge of equipment and tools are still highly valuable in a modern workforce."
Dominion Energy supplies all of the materials needed for construction to Batesburg-Leesville High School and provides transportation of the finished buildings from the school to the training center. “This partnership provides a significant tool for our students to not only gain hands-on training and experience in the construction field, but to also know that the work they are doing is contributing to the overall success and productivity of the state of South Carolina. We are so grateful for Dominion Energy’s support of our school and for their visionary leaders who see the value in supporting career and technology education-related opportunities for young people,” said Sonya Bryant, Principal of Batesburg-Leesville High School.
To date, the Batesburg-Leesville High School Career and Technology Education Center has completed two buildings for Dominion Energy with three more under construction.

Once finished, the building will be housed at Dominion Energy’s Lake Murray Training Center and will be used to provide real-world training to Dominion Energy’s employees. | <urn:uuid:6a1a7a8c-5a72-4894-8a9f-3babb3d52ff0> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.swlexledger.com/single-post/batesburg-leesville-high-school-dominion-energy-partnership-builds-hands-on-experience-for-students | 2023-03-26T06:14:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945433.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20230326044821-20230326074821-00453.warc.gz | en | 0.968412 | 833 |
If you are considering starting a family blog, your first instinct might be to make the blog private. Private blogs require a username and password to be able to access the content and they don’t show up in search engine results. My family has a blog where we post about what we are doing, achievements and milestones of the kids, etc. It helps us keep up with the family if someone deploys with the military or moves away. I used to have the blog set up as a private, invite-only basis, but then I learned about Internet marketing, search engines, and blogging, and made the website public.
Family Members Forget Their Logins
If you have your family blog set up with Blogger, they offer some built-in privacy options while WordPress requires a plugin. Either way, you have to give your family members logins so that they can access the blog. I can’t keep track of the amount of times my family has contacted me asking what their username and password are. If you are building your blog for your parents and grandparents to keep up with your life, many sure they can open up a web browser and remember their password for your blog. If they have trouble simply opening Internet Explorer and visiting a certain website, there’s no chance that they will ever see your blog.
There Are Exclusive Features For Public Blogs
If you are using Blogger’s publishing platform, the dynamic templates are only available for public blogs. If your blog is private, you will have to use one of the boring, standard templates. Public blogs also have an RSS feed, so you will be able to have email lists or Facebook pages that use RSS.
You Can Turn Search Engine Indexing Off
If you turn search engine indexing off, your blog will not show up in Yahoo, Google, or any other search engine. This means that the only way someone can visit your blog is by entering the direct URL. Turning off search engine indexing also keeps your images out of websites such as Google Images.
Us Professionals Work Hard To Rank Well In Google
Professional bloggers who are here to make a living work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to get our blogs ranked in search engines. It requires SEO tactics, backlinks, and lots of effort… I promise you that your blog will not be ranking well in Google on accident.
Nothing Is Truly Private Anyway
If you are concerned about creepers knowing about your life, I would like to let you know that there are numerous other methods for them besides your blog. If I go to the dentist and learn that my dentist’s name is Jennifer Smith, I can go to WhitePages.com and search for a Jennifer Smith living near Crestview, Florida. White Pages will then return the results and give me Jennifer’s address and home phone number. I can then enter her address into Google Maps street view and see exactly what her house looks like… And there’s no way anyone can hide White Pages results.
If you think about the content that you put on your family blog, does it really need to be hidden? If you take photos at your son Kevin’s school baseball game, then blog about it and say he won 7-4, what’s the point in making that information private? Anybody in the whole world could’ve went to the school baseball game, watched Kevin play, and looked at the score to see that his team won.
I’m not trying to scare you off the Internet, I’m just sharing information with you that you might not know… The majority of stalkers and creepers can only do their job with cooperation from the victim. Often times they will go on websites like Facebook and start chatting with their victims. If the victim replies to the stalker, it would be their own fault and not be related to privacy settings of any kind. If a stalker visits your family blog, all they are going to see is baseball photos and maybe a blog post about high school graduation. There is no interaction, and therefore, no threat. Public blogs are totally safe and come with a variety of benefits. | <urn:uuid:1d6b6555-9d85-4db1-a37a-fbbde3987c1c> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.omegaweb.com/why-your-family-blog-doesnt-need-to-be-private/ | 2022-12-03T15:36:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710933.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20221203143925-20221203173925-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.944992 | 853 |
TORONTO (AP) The guy everyone wanted to talk to outside the Blue Jays dugout before Game 4 of the American League Championship Series wasn't a coach or player, but a 9-year-old boy wearing a fake beard.
His name is Oscar Wood, and he has become known as Mini Bautista because of the painted black beard he wears in tribute to his favorite player, Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista.
Accompanied by his father, Benn, Wood was invited to watch the Blue Jays take batting practice from up close before Tuesday's game against Kansas City.
Mini Bautista has become an online sensation among Blue Jays fans following a video his father shot at Game 5 of the AL Division Series against Texas.
When Bautista is at bat, Oscar likes to stand up and pretend he's hitting, too. At Game 5, Benn recorded his son swinging a mock bat seconds before Bautista hit his tiebreaking three-run homer in the seventh inning. The camera panned toward the field, where Bautista's ball can be seen sailing into the stands, then back to a jubilant Oscar, screaming and high-fiving with those around him. The video, later posted on MLB.com, has been viewed more than four million times, Benn said.
''When he hit it, the whole crowd just went `Ooooh,''' Oscar said Tuesday. ''That's all I heard. Then when it was sailing up in the air all I heard was `Yay!' and the screaming of everyone.''
Baseball is a family affair for the Oscar and his father. Along with little brother Jasper, 6, big sister Bella, 11, and their mother, the family makes multiple trips to Rogers Centre each season from their home in Thornton, Ontario, about 60 miles north of Toronto.
The Woods moved to Canada from Swindon, England, 80 miles west of London, six years ago. Five years ago last month, Benn attended his first Blue Jays game with a neighbor.
''We waited until the following season before we brought the three kids out,'' he said. ''All of us got hooked.''
Oscar's face-paint beard first gained notoriety three years ago, when he was picked to accompany Bautista onto the field for the national anthems before a Saturday home game, a regular feature on `Junior Jays Day' in Toronto.
His batting routine began during a family road trip to New York this season, where the Woods caught both games of a Sept. 12 doubleheader against the Yankees. Bautista had four hits that day, including two home runs in the opener.
''One of the Yankees fans said `Hey kid, no more voodoo,''' Benn said. ''He just sort of smiled and carried on doing it all the more through the game. That was it, bat voodoo was kind of ingrained.''
Celebrity status has made life entertaining for Oscar, with a few exceptions.
''We were in the stands (Monday) night, everyone was coming down to take pictures with him,'' Benn said. ''It takes 10 times longer to get everywhere because of stopping for photos and that sort of thing. But he's been loving it, absolutely loving it, although one of the things he said earlier was `I don't like it when the girls hug me.' There's been a few that grab a hold of him and he's just sort of shell-shocked.''
Oscar was interviewed by several media outlets during batting practice Tuesday. He also chatted briefly with manager John Gibbons and Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson. Donaldson then brought Oscar back into the clubhouse, where the youngster posed for a photo with Bautista that the slugger shared on Instagram.
Benn Wood said Oscar's fame has been ''a wild ride'' for his family, and for relatives back in England.
''They can't quite get their heads around all of it,'' he said. ''Honestly, none of us can. It's just been a roller coaster.'' | <urn:uuid:6f6cb986-f93b-4a8a-abfc-985947b799ea> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.si.com/mlb/2015/10/20/ap-bba-blue-jays-mini-bautista | 2018-03-21T03:48:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647567.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20180321023951-20180321043951-00731.warc.gz | en | 0.980488 | 834 |
Calista Hodge credits Shepherd Center with teaching her to advocate for herself.
Calista Hodge is a force — she’s a wife, a mom of three boys, and a leader in the company where she’s employed — a leader by title and by her work promoting equity and inclusion there. She prioritizes spending time with family and giving her sports-loving kids exposure to different cultures and experiences. She enjoys bourbon and wine tastings. She’s into CrossFit and reality TV, loves to cook, and has recently taken up knitting. Her enthusiasm for life and courageous spirit is apparent when you meet her, and when she was injured in a car crash, she relied on these qualities to get her through a difficult period in her life.
In May 2019, Calista and her family were on a road trip from Ohio to Virginia. There was a wreck ahead of them on the interstate, and traffic stopped. Calista’s SUV was hit from behind by one car and then on the side by a tractor-trailer. One of her sons had a broken femur, but the rest of her family escaped with minor injuries. Calista sustained a T-3 spinal cord injury along with many other broken bones.
Calista was air-lifted to J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia, where she spent three weeks before transferring to the ICU at Shepherd Center.
When she arrived at Shepherd, her care team suggested Calista continue weaning from her tracheostomy, which had been helping her breathe since the accident. “Right away, they told me I should try four hours without the trach, and I thought, “Today? Are you sure?’ But I did it,” she recalls.
“That started the journey. I thought, ‘You've got just as much faith in me as I have in myself, so let's push through this together,’” she remembers. “And I gradually got to eight hours without the trach, then 12 during the day, and then after a while, I didn’t need it at all, and I was using the speaking valve to practice my breathing and get my lungs stronger.”
The recovery process was difficult, and on top of working on getting stronger, Calista was concerned about her kids.
“I wanted them to be in their environment because I felt like so much had been taken from them already. I wanted them to have a little bit of normalcy,” she explains.
So, while her mom, dad, and husband took advantage of Shepherd’s family housing so they could stay by her side, Calista’s mother-in-law stayed with their three young sons at their home in Cincinnati.
As Calista continued to heal and progress, she took advantage of every opportunity her therapists offered.
“I did the picnic in the park and learned how to do the hand-control bike. I tried basketball, but I really couldn't play basketball when I could walk, so I don't know why I thought I'd be any good,” she laughs. “That was a very short-lived activity.”
Calista says she also learned a lot through outings with Shepherd Center’s renowned Recreation Therapy Program.
“Shepherd taught me to advocate for myself,” she says. “I was fearful about reentering society — about people not knowing what I can and can't do and leaving me out because they're afraid to figure it out or interact,” she explains. “My first breakthrough was when I went to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium to watch the Atlanta Falcons football game. That was my first trip out in the real world, and I was worried about navigating around people in my wheelchair. The team told me, ‘Don’t be bashful. Don't be afraid. You’ve got this.’ They taught us to push our boundaries.”
And Calista continues to push boundaries. In October 2019, she went home. She returned to Shepherd for a month in the Day Program, where she says she regained even more independence. By spring 2020, she was back at work full-time. Calista says Shepherd’s Peer Support Program proved invaluable during that transition. Her job requires some travel, and her peer mentor helped her think through preparations for navigating business travel without her family support system.
“The fact that they stay connected anytime you have a question is great,” she explains.
Calista wants to encourage others to keep working hard and pushing their own boundaries in whatever they do.
“I want anybody reading my story to know that the sky's the limit. You get out what you put in. So, you just have to keep working hard and challenging yourself in order to grow. And it's worth it.”

The Use of Virtual and Immersive Technology in Creating Personalized Multisensory Spaces for People Living With Dementia (SENSE-GARDEN): Protocol for a Multisite Before-After Trial
Journal article, Peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Background: The number of people living with dementia is rapidly increasing. With dementia’s impact on memory, communication, and self-identity, it is important to identify ways of meeting individual needs of diagnosed individuals and their caregivers. This study will test a new intervention, SENSE-GARDEN, that integrates autobiographical music, films, pictures, and scents with innovative technology to create an immersive environment tailored specifically for the individual. Objective: The SENSE-GARDEN study is an Active Assisted Living Program–funded multicenter project. The primary objective of the study is to assess whether a personalized, innovative technology-based intervention can improve the well-being of older adults living with moderate to severe dementia. The study will also assess whether the intervention can improve coping and reduce burden in caregivers. Methods: A controlled before-after study design will be used. There will be 3 sites in 3 trial countries: Belgium, Norway, and Portugal. A total of 55 people with dementia (PWDs) will be recruited. All eligible participants for the study will be randomized into the intervention or control group. For the first three months of the study, all participants will receive the SENSE-GARDEN intervention. For the final month of the study, the intervention group will continue visits to the SENSE-GARDEN, and the control group will discontinue visits. A mixed-methods approach will be used, including the use of standardized outcome measures, quantitative physiological data, and qualitative interview data. Results: The trials commenced recruitment in August 2019, and all data are expected to be collected by the end of May 2020. A user-centered design process is underway, with results from the first phase of user interviews indicating that people with mild cognitive impairment, family caregivers, and professional caregivers consider the SENSE-GARDEN to be a potentially valuable tool in providing numerous benefits to dementia care. Feasibility testing of the SENSE-GARDEN has been completed and results are expected to be published in October 2019. Conclusions: Findings from the SENSE-GARDEN trials will provide insights into the use of technology for personalizing interventions to the PWD. This will have potential implications on not only dementia research, but it may also have influences on care practice. | <urn:uuid:cb9439a9-821e-497c-a4e7-c6288e0240b8> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ntnuopen.ntnu.no/ntnu-xmlui/handle/11250/2641482?locale-attribute=en | 2022-01-26T21:56:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304961.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20220126192506-20220126222506-00130.warc.gz | en | 0.890977 | 537 |
The legal body said it is important that Australians are aware that if they have received a letter from Centrelink that claims debt is owed, they can appeal it.
SA Law Society president Tony Rossi said people who have recently received debt letters from Centrelink have the right to appeal such debts and other fees if they think Centrelink has made an error.
“Centrelink decisions are appealable. Anyone who disagrees with their debt, or thinks there are special circumstances as to why the debt should not apply, can appeal the decision,” Mr Rossi said.
“It’s critical for anyone who has doubts over a Centrelink decision to contact Centrelink as soon as possible. If the issue is still not resolved, there are other avenues available to appeal.
“While it can be frustrating to go through the process of rectifying a bureaucratic error, mistakes happen, and the best thing to do is to notify Centrelink immediately if you think they’ve got it wrong.”
Mr Rossi also touched on reports of stress and confusion caused by the recent spate of letters sent by Centrelink to some customers, which indicated an obligation to pay a debt.
“Receiving a debt letter can be extremely distressing,” Mr Rossi said.
“But if you have a genuine reason to dispute it, you can get free advice from the Welfare Rights Centre about what to do next, or contact the Law Society’s referral service to be put in touch with a lawyer who could assist.
“Experience tells us that automated systems don’t always get it right.”
Mr Rossi’s comments came after the Department of Human Services implemented a data-matching system, which cross-references customers’ reported income to Centrelink with data from the Australian Tax Office, in July last year.
The debt recovery system has been inundated in controversy lately after many media reports suggested the system is systematically flawed and inaccurate, unfairly demanding debts from customers. | <urn:uuid:59267ad3-4686-4eca-94ca-e949584b25de> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.lawyersweekly.com.au/news/20480-sa-law-society-responds-to-centrelink-saga | 2018-05-21T04:55:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863949.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521043741-20180521063741-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.964364 | 420 |

Although chain tales have been recorded in many parts of the world and have been the subject of systematic study, they are either extremely rare in New Guinea, or they have largely escaped the attention of those who recorded its oral literature. The chain tale presented here is the only New Guinean one that has come to my attention. What makes it remarkable is that three almost identical variants were recorded in geographically widely separated areas in languages that are at best only distantly related. The question of how to explain this similarity is broached but alas not answered because of the dearth of data. | <urn:uuid:e574bf93-66b9-4971-ad63-69f4ab2efc09> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.sil.org/resources/archives/9276 | 2015-01-25T22:00:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115900471.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161140-00175-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960803 | 198 |

not all of us.
but if this ain’t scary news.
lord knows i had a crazy day today,
and then an f-bi sends me this…
Wacka Flocka is making headlines in the news about everything except his career.
I wouldn’t know one of his songs if he drove by me playing it.
I can’t say this Fox is a fan.
Seems like one of his eager groupies got a little more from Wacka than she expected.
Something I am sure she will remember for a VERY long time.
Click here to see what she got…
According to this soon to be not hired for anything intern on planet Earth,
he was giving them out like candy to his ex.
And she stayed?
And he is alive?
I would have found a way to murder his ass and have a “get outta jail FREE” card…

It's the last day of school before Christmas. Students tucked sweet little gifts and home-made cards onto my desk throughout the day. "The Mustache Something-or-Other Man Choir" rehearsed in the cafeteria (which is also my classroom) for much of the morning. The school buzzed with preparations for the annual talent show and my Grade Nine Drama class performed several creative and unusual dramatizations of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." The hi-light was the party we hosted in my Grade Ten Drama class. Everyone brought treats that we enjoyed by candle-light and one of my students played Christmas carols on his violin. Some days, I can't believe this is my job. | <urn:uuid:d7fe0a06-54c5-49a4-a8bc-2b01ceb39f9c> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://andreacameron.blogspot.com/2009/12/today-i-love-my-job.html | 2017-08-22T01:47:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886109803.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20170822011838-20170822031838-00517.warc.gz | en | 0.9759 | 143 |
I’m continuing development of the Meekell STV. For users considering this STV as an alternative to the default interface, the key features are:
- Drastically changed interface, designed to give you just the info you need, nothing you don’t.
- EvilPenguin’s DVD burning with Menus
- Stanger89′s DVD Profiler Import
- Nielm’s Info-Popup for Caller-ID information
- Configurable Main Menu
- Launch external programs with mlbdude’s External Program List
- Malore’s Custom Guide Menus
- A great RSS NewsReader, w/ internal viewer, by Nielm
EvilPenguin’s DVD solution is extremely dynamic with motion menus and metadata. You must follow the instructions found here in order to get it working. Then turn on the menus in this STV by going to Settings->Advanced->External and Enable the Burning, then add the Programs Menu to your Main Menu.
Also, for those with HUGE DVD collections, you had to deal with .my files, or dynamically import the information. Stanger’s solution lets you import the metadata directly into the SageTV database. This will eventually allow for some very cool sorting options.
All users should download the entire STV package. Unzip it preserving folder structure to your ./%SageTV/% directory.
Click Here for screenshots of the STV.
Click Here for installation instructions.
A huge thank you goes out to everyone who has contributed to this project. I’ve created a credits page here.

Investor optimism following the 2017 fall of former President Robert Mugabe has dissipated as the new dispensation has been slow to follow through on its promises to reform and improve the business environment. The economy has suffered hyperinflation and contracted sharply in 2019 worsened by the climatic shocks that crippled agriculture and electricity generation. Unsustainable monetary policy has led to a protracted currency crisis which continues to strain the economy. The Zimbabwean dollar introduced in February 2019 has already lost approximately 98 percent of its value on the black market. Failure to implement finance ministry efforts to rein in the budget deficit undermined public confidence in the financial sector. The government adopted a stabilization and reform agenda supported by IMF Staff-Monitored Program but by February 2020 the IMF reported the SMP had gone off track due to government failures to fully implement reforms. Zimbabwe remains in arrears to the World Bank and other multilateral and bilateral institutions restraining many forms of multilateral assistance.
By Netsai Muchemwa
Although the government has repeatedly affirmed its commitment to improve transparency, streamline business regulations and address corruption, the last two years have brought limited progress. Zimbabwe has attracted less than USD 600 million a year on average in foreign direct investment over the past decade. Zimbabwe’s incentives to attract foreign direct investment include tax breaks for new investment by foreign and domestic companies and making capital expenditures on new factories, machinery, and improvements fully tax-deductible. The government waives important taxes and surtaxes on capital equipment. The government has made slow progress at improving the business environment by reducing regulatory costs but policy inconsistency, weak institutions and lack of fiscal discipline have continued to frustrate business and investment.
Corruption remains rife and there is little protection of property rights, particularly with respect to agricultural land. In 2016, the government introduced a surrogate currency called the bond note officially pegged at USD only for domestic transactions. Money printing caused the currency to lose value and in February 2019 the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe de-linked the local currency from the USD and has not yet implemented a market-clearing exchange rate regime. As a result, it remains difficult to access dollars at the official exchange rate and this has given much opportunity to the black market which has a higher rate. The government banned the use of foreign currencies for domestic transactions in 2019 further complicating the business environment but introduced some exceptions for investors and further relaxed the rules in March 2020 amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Inflation has jumped from 10.6% in 2018 to 676% in March 2020 reflecting monetary expansion, currency depreciation, and removal of subsidies on fuel and electricity. The sectors that attract the most investor interest are tobacco, mining, energy, and tourism. Zimbabwe has a well-earned reputation for the high education levels of its workers. In order to attract investment and encourage competitiveness, the government has encouraged public-private partnerships and emphasized the need to improve the investment climate by lowering the cost of doing business and restoring the rule of law and sanctity of contracts.
Zimbabwe Indigenization and Economic Empowerment Law limits the number of shares owned by foreigners in the diamonds and platinum sectors to 49% with specific indigenous organizations owning the remaining 51%. The government has signaled its intends to remove these restrictions. The Zimbabwe Investment Authority (ZIA) promotes and facilitates both foreign direct investment and local investment. ZIA also facilitates and processes investment applications for approval. While the government has committed to prioritizing investor retention, there are still no mechanisms or formal structures to maintain an ongoing dialogue with the investors. While there is a right for foreign and domestic private entities to establish and own business enterprises and engage in all forms of remunerative activities, foreign ownership of businesses remains 49/51%.
Foreign investment is free to invest in the vast majority of non-resource sectors without any restrictions as the government aims to bring new technologies, generate employment, and value-added manufacturing. The government reserves certain sectors for Zimbabweans such as car hire, taxis, employment agencies, grain milling, passenger buses, bakeries, advertising, estate agencies, and dairy processing. According to the country, U.S. investors are not especially disadvantaged or singled out by any of the ownership or control mechanisms relative to other foreign investors. That being said, it is quite apparent that the new investment policies under the new dispensation are not enough to lure the mystical investor.

Mr Lansley's letter to Sainbury's, Tesco, Marks and Spencer, Co-Op and Waitrose reiterates requests made earlier in the year that supermarkets pledge to remove alcohol promotions from the front of retail outlets where they are clearly visible to casual shoppers.
A number of pressure groups, including Alcohol Concern, have already withdrawn from the "responsibility deal" because they said the Government was not being tough enough on retailers. And the fact that Mr Lansley has had to write to the supermarkets is likely to increase concerns that the deal has little substance.
Whitehall sources said that only Asda had signed up to the policy on removing alcohol at the shopfront and were now a "lone ranger". "They should be praised and now others should follow up on what was agreed," the official said.
Although the Government did not go as far as ordering that alcohol is only stocked in one specific part of the shop, the voluntary deal signed earlier in the year was aimed at allaying fears that heavy alcohol discounting encourages binge drinking.
Whitehall officials have now made it clear that if a voluntary agreement cannot be made to stick, legal regulation on the sale of discounted alcohol in shops could follow.
Mr Lansley said: "Asda has taken a tough decision but it's the right one. We hope that others will follow their example."
Although the letter does not attack shops and "thanks" them for progress made so far, DoH officials have made it clear that there is increasing irritation about the lack of supermarket action. The letter said that the Government wanted to see "all major alcohol retailers' full participation in this effort".
The responsibility deal also covers healthy eating. Last week The Grocer magazine reported that health groups had pulled out of the food deal and were now refusing to attend meetings.
It said that Mr Lansley was warned that without support from the health lobby the deal was in danger of disintegrating.
Last night, supermarkets said that they were still fully behind the deal, with Co-op saying it was "committed to seeing it through" and M&S stating that the retailer took responsible drinking "very seriously".
None of them, however, pledged to follow Asda.
A spokesman for Tesco said: "We were pleased to sign up to all the relevant responsibility deal pledges on alcohol and remain committed to playing a positive part in the process.
"This builds on the work we are already doing – leading the first community alcohol partnership in central London; putting unit labelling on the front of packs"
Sainsbury's said that it was a supporter of Drinkaware and had already done a lot on selling alcohol responsibly.
A Sainsbury's spokesman said: "We were pleased to be part of the responsibility deal from the outset and to have signed up to all the collective alcohol pledges.
"We recognise our duty to be a responsible retailer of alcohol. We were the first UK retailer to put Department of Health approved alcohol information labels on our own-brand alcohol products and now have point of sale alcohol units information in all our stores.
"In order to prevent underage sales, we have a policy of Think 25 in all our stores.
"The vast majority of our customers buy alcohol as part of their weekly shop and drink responsibly in their own homes."

8,000 years of man made environmental impact
Man has been influencing Earth's climate for at least 8,000 years say Swiss researchers. The rise and fall of the Roman Empire; the Black Death, and the colonisation of the Americas all had a significant impact on the environment due to changes in forestation.
Early man began by clearing woody areas to improve hunting and gathering opportunities. Next the first farmers had a larger impact by clearing forest for early slash and burn agriculture. This is a very inefficient process as it needs large areas to support a single person.
As time went on, farmers became more effective as irrigation, better tools, seeds and fertiliser became more efficient. Better agricultural practices counterbalanced the increase in population, and contained the impact of human pressure on the natural environment.
Existing climate models assumed little human influence on the environment before 1700 AD and the beginnings of the industrial revolution. Professor Jed Kaplan at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne said, 'Our new model shows that this is absolutely not the case. Humans have been influencing the planet's environment for many thousand's of years. Our model gives fairly precise estimates of human origin carbon emissions in the pre-industrial era.'
A first major boom in manmade carbon emissions occurred 2,000 years ago mirroring the expansion of the Roman Empire and the rise of civilisations in China. This is a time of rapid increase in human populations with large empires providing a stable political environment for their peoples to flourish. It's also a time when records were well kept. The mini boom in carbon emissions came about due to early industrial activity in metallurgy and salt making, and the expansion of agricultural land into previously forested areas.
The impact of the fall of the Roman Empire, the discovery of the Americas, and the Black Death, (which killed a third of Europe's population) all show up in the new model in falling carbon emissions as the forests recover and regrow, and more trees absorb carbon dioxide.
Kaplan has a hypothesis about a dip in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the 16th century which heralded the little Ice Age, '90% of the indigenous populations of the Americas were wiped out by explorers carrying disease, between 1500 and 1560 or so. The lightly forested lands that these people had occupied became reforested, and absorbed significant quantities of CO2, cooling the world.'
Kaplan's model diverges from existing estimates of past land use that assumed that human activities were insignificant before the Industrial Revolution. 'We believe that human influence on the climate began a lot earlier than others thought. In 6000 BC, we already started putting significant quantities of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, even though it was very slow compared to the situation today', adds the scientist. 'Forests have a huge impact on the earth's climate.'

Egypt: Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry received on Saturday, December 17, 2022, a phone call from Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov.
Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zeid, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that the call tackled various aspects of bilateral relations between both countries, including the course of implementing economic projects undertaken by Russia in Egypt.
The Foreign Ministry Spokesperson added that the two Ministers discussed a number of developments on the regional and international levels, where Minister Sameh Shoukry was keen to present Egypt’s position towards various developments in the Middle East and informed the Russian Minister of the results of the communications that Egypt is conducting to promote stability and peace in the region.
The telephonic conversation between both ministers took place after Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry, President of the 27th Session of the Parties to the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference COP27, delivered a video message during the session on climate action at the Ministerial Conference of the G77 (Group of 77) and China, held in New York on December 15-16.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Director of the Public Diplomacy Department, Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zeid, stated that Minister Shoukry was keen during his speech to review the results and outcomes of the Sharm El-Sheikh conference that enhance global climate action at various levels, especially the “Sharm El-Sheikh Implementation Plan” that heralded a new phase of climate action which focuses on turning pledges into realities on the ground.
In addition to establishing – for the first time – a fund to finance loss and damage, and to promote international adaptation and mitigation efforts, besides mobilizing climate finance and maintaining global temperature rise at 1.5 degrees in accordance with the Paris Agreement.
Minister Shoukry added that what was achieved during COP27 attests to the relevance and effectiveness of multilateral action, explaining that the Egyptian presidency of the conference was keen that the conference delivers tangible and balanced results, despite the multiple challenges witnessed in the current international context on many levels, topped by geopolitical tensions and the global energy and food crises, in addition to the repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic. | <urn:uuid:db0a6273-1c1a-482f-ba67-fe640f2d1e0b> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://tribunalcommunity.com/news/49576/egypt-foreign-minister-sameh-shoukry-receives-phone-call-from-russian-minister-of-foreign-affairs/ | 2023-12-03T01:05:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100476.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202235258-20231203025258-00814.warc.gz | en | 0.945446 | 461 |
Ready, set, go!
More than 1,000 runners embraced the early morning hours and the cold temperatures to run or walk for a cause.
The 17th annual Total Fitness Connection's run and walk in Bowling Green included a half marathon, a 5k, and a fun walk.
All the proceeds benefit the Family Enrichment Center, a non-profit organization that aims to prevent child abuse.
The center says they want to imagine a world where every child can be safe.
"We have a crisis childcare nursery. We have parenting classes, support groups, and supervised visitation. We generate most of our funding through grants and fundraisers like this. We couldn't exist without fundraisers like this," says Nickie Jones, Executive Director of the Family Enrichment Center.
The Center is on track to raise nearly $60,000 from the event today.

InfluenceChronicles.com -- Welcome to Week Links, a lovingly curated demi-collection of digital destinations, fresh from the front-line trenches of influence minus the dirty words. It took us all week to write that first line and we ran out of time for the next one, so here we go:
Is that before or after we eat it? … There are two ways to create a brand tagline that rises above the clutter. One, you can proclaim a compellingly simple truth, like Levis’ “Quality never goes out of style” and De Beers’ “A diamond is forever.” Or two, you can proclaim a compellingly weird idea, like Nature Valley’s “Everything you need to know about life, you can learn from granola.”
Flake News … Take a look at the #deepstate Twitter feed and you’ll notice how people get all lathered up about shocking but totally fabricated news reports from fake news sites. It’s almost wackily entertaining, except for the part about them being voters. Wikipedia – also a cog in the big wheel of globalist conspiracy – has a list of 50-plus known fake news sites. You’ll know which relatives need a copy.
Treachery Central … Donald Trump isn’t the first president to bring conspiracy theory to the Oval Office – that was GW – but nobody so brazenly wallowed in it as a political and publicity tool. This includes giving high praise to an egocentric Texan named Alex Jones, whose high-production InfoWars network is headwaters for conspiracies like how millions of people voted illegally, that both the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and the Boston Marathon bombing were staged government hoaxes, and that the Democratic Party ran a child sex ring out of a D.C. pizza joint. See for yourself.
Never saw it coming … Skin care brand Nivea went out with an ad campaign featuring the phrase, “White is purity,” earning two thumbs way, way up from white supremacists on the Internet (who knew?). We’re going to take a shot in the dark and guess that the company’s reputation risk management person wasn’t invited to the ad agency’s presentation.
A nation of touchy adult teenagers … Here’s how some sociologists explain why Americans are losing their ability to respectfully disagree with each other: The internet and social media are providing people with a constant self-affirming feedback loop, which is conditioning them toward a growing intolerance and indignation about anything that doesn’t jive with their customized Facebook reality. “New technologies are shaping behaviors and dissolving civilities,” writes columnist George Will. “There will rarely be disagreement without anger between thin-skinned people who cannot distinguish the phrase you’re wrong from you’re stupid.”
InfluenceChronicles.com -- At one of our crisis communications workshops, a general counsel said his company would use a strategy of ignoring reporters to delay or kill a negative story. It's best to ignore news media until all the facts are known, or until there's some “good news” to tell.
But this works only if your company is Boss of Everyone. If it isn't, then you can’t stop media from reporting a legitimate news story any more than you can push water uphill with a fork. Not only do your pants get wet, but you look like you're clueless about gravity and other forces of nature.
What drives media coverage of your company's crisis or controversy is being first with the headline, and then being first with new information as the situation unfolds. An editor or producer has no obligation to include -- much less wait for -- your company's spin of the story.
In the analog days, we'd say that a news story didn’t have to be complete because “there’s always another newspaper tomorrow.” We'd wait for it on the porch with our Tab and Space Food Sticks.
Today, however, updated and expanded versions of a story are delivered as fast as it takes to upload. Confirmations and clarifications, new discoveries, allegations, comment strings, Facebook posts, Tweets and real-time video spread across the ether with mind-blowing speed to form an information ecosystem that didn’t exist only hours before.
Not responding to a negative news story means you're adding another layer of risk to your company's reputation. You leave it to reporters to discover details you don’t have or don’t want to share. Information and speculation get rushed into the narrative, regardless of accuracy.
In most cases you prolong the bad publicity you were trying to avoid.
One more thing. The more obstinate your company in not responding to bad news, the more it becomes part of the story -- even the more damaging PR crisis.
Does that mean you must have answers to every question? Of course not. But there’s a huge difference between hiding under the desk and making a sincere effort to explain what you can and can't discuss. Engaging news media with sincerity during an emerging crisis -- including why you can't comment -- is a credibility factor. You may even get some breathing room to put new information in your context before it goes live.
The rule is the same whether you’re dealing with good or bad news: Say only what you know to be true.
But say it. Your company will be better for it.
InfluenceChronicles.com -- Five takes on EpiPen, virtual reality, surrender ceremonies, Roger’s fall and how Donald Trump’s campaign is like one very long Twitter feed. I don't know, but that is what people are telling me, it’s so beautiful. Really really something. And it’s going to be amazing, believe me.
InfluenceChronicles.com -- Brand and reputation. It’s a critical distinction that drives a company’s ability to minimize the impact of its next public relations crisis.
Brand is how your company talks to the world.
Reputation is how the world hears your company.
Some people say reputation and brand mean the same thing. But that’s like saying the pitch and the swing are the same because they’re part of the same baseball game.
Closely related, but very different.
Reputation risk management is a paradox. On one hand the company's reputation is its most important asset. On the other hand it is the asset most vulnerable to damage by conditions largely out of the company’s control.
A brand is a promise, but more than just deliverables. It’s what the brand’s owner needs people and institutions that matter to believe to be true.
Reputation, on the other hand, is what stakeholders and influencers actually believe. It's a mix of personal experiences and influences, all weighed against motivations that drive every decision to trust a brand, buy a product or support an idea:
The wider the gap between a company's brand and reputation, the more potentially damaging a controversy or crisis.
But the more a corporate and brand reputation jive with what stakeholders want to believe, the stronger the company’s ability to navigate and even prosper through bad markets, complex public issues and crisis events. It’s no wonder that companies with solidly good reputations have market caps of 30 to 70 percent more than their book value.

A huge desert created by global warming likely prevented early dinosaurs from migrating out of South America for millions of years, suggests an analysis of ancient rocks. (Related: "Oldest Dinosaur Found?")
At that time, during the Triassic period, the world's continents were bound together in a supercontinent called Pangaea, home to the first dinosaurs. But as dinosaurs spread, they didn't become evenly distributed across this landmass, suggests a team led by Columbia University geophysicist Dennis Kent. (Related "Supercontinent Pangaea Pushed Into Place.")
In a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences report Kent and colleagues note that there's an extraordinarily long time between when dinosaur fossils begin showing up in rocks in what is now South America, dated to 231 million years ago, and when they begin showing up in rocks in North America, dated to 218 million to 212 million years ago.
"Dinosaurs seemed to have been corralled for a long time down there, even with no obvious mountains or seaways to stop them from dispersing north over the Americas," Kent says.
Most likely, he says, there was "a vast, hyperarid Sahara-like desert across Pangea" that blocked the dinosaurs from heading north.
High levels of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, had melted the Poles and led to global warming during the Triassic, the study notes. The resulting desert eventually shrank as the climate cooled heading into the Jurassic period, allowing dinosaurs to spread across the world.

A sand storm is occuring right? I don't expect to have a great visual of my surroundings in those elements. Also, if this is going for survival horror, which I hope and expect it will be, giving the player limited sight will help set up plenty of scaring opportunities and tense moments.

@I-U Yes, I agree. But it was more than difficult to see through, it was annoying. Maybe a moving environment looks better in 3D as I saw still images. But instead of difficult in a good way, it goes way overboard. In my opinion.

I can only imagine that it's being broken down to make the price more attractive per release, rather than have a game that's say $39.99 which doesn't look all that great next to the other eShop exclusives (highest being $14.99?).
26. Posted: Mon 25th Mar 2013 22:54 GMT
Considering their former FPS games all lasted 5-6 hours, I'm hoping these episodes will actually be quite lengthy, maybe 3-4 hours each. Without a multiplayer mode it needs some length. Also in episodes please don't cost more then $10

Want to help us give back this summer? We are participating in CHOC Walk, an amazing event that supports Children's Hospital of Orange County.
After years of watching the CHOC Walk online, we are FINALLY participating this year and we can't WAIT!
What is the CHOC Walk? I didn't really understand either, until I watched it a few years ago on a few of my friends' social media accounts. It is an amazing fundraiser for the Children's Hospital of Orange County that takes place at Disneyland every year. This early morning walk is a 5K stroll through Disneyland® Park and Disney California Adventure® Park before they open for the day. There are special characters and fun sights the whole route, and each walker fundraises before they walk. All the money they raise? Is donated directly to Children's Hospital of Orange County.
A few details:
Date: Sunday, August 11, 2019
How much is the minimum fundraising amount? Early Bird Registration is $85 per person (3 and older, ages 2 and under are free).
Parking: Parking at Disneyland will be free for all walkers.
Fun perks: each walker will get a t shirt, and have to opportunity to purchase park tickets at a discount.
This is the 29th year of CHOC Walk and the 17th year it's taken place at the Happiest Place on Earth. Over the last 29 years, the walk has raised more than $35 million for CHOC Children’s and CHOC at Mission Hospital. It is also the largest and most unique pediatric fundraiser in the country.
How you can support Choc Walk:
All three of us are walking, and all three of us are fundraising. We would be honored if you would donate, so that we can support this amazing hospital! | <urn:uuid:42d16a9a-37cf-49a2-ab1a-e2c022f9332e> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://lipglossandcrayons.com/choc-walk/ | 2023-02-08T13:39:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500813.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20230208123621-20230208153621-00561.warc.gz | en | 0.957634 | 401 |

Persuasion vs. manipulation has been a hot topic in marketing for years. Persuasion is understood as a process that uses written or spoken words to change a person’s attitude or behaviour toward some event, idea, object or other person(s). Manipulation is understood as skilfully managing or influencing people, especially in an unfair manner. Between the two concepts lies a thin red line, which authors like Martin Lindstrom have used to produce bestsellers like Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate Our Minds.
Our team at ESADE works with a different idea – market orientation – which involves organisations that make changes in products or services for particular purposes, both commercial and social. In essence, the idea is to serve the motto of George R.R. Martin: “When you know what a man wants you know who he is, and how to move him.” Let’s manipulate our solution to make it more attractive.
Hubbub is an organisation with no definitions or mottos: they just like good challenges. When they saw that traditional wellness programmes weren’t working, they challenged themselves to create a better solution. So they manipulated a bid to reduce litter on the streets of London: residents were encouraged to throw their cigarette butts into a special kind of bin – a fascinating and cleverly manipulated bin. Cigarette smokers outside Embankment station can use the new cigarette butt boxes to cast their vote on who they think is the world’s best football player: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
This is a fun theory approach used in social marketing. More examples: the Peppermint Pointillist displays, also in central London. In this case, Hubbub had to solve a sticky issue: the average piece of chewing gum costs 3p to buy and £1.50 to remove. So a solution was
manipulated: stick your gum on a ‘x’ to reveal an image or fact.
I love these guys: manipulating objects for social good. | <urn:uuid:819176b0-7249-4127-9773-bba0594d2af1> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://marketingsocial.esadeblogs.com/page/2/ | 2017-05-25T01:26:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607960.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525010046-20170525030046-00022.warc.gz | en | 0.936697 | 416 |
LONDON (VIP NEWS) — After tweeting racist abuse at former One Direction star Zayn Malik, Azealia Banks has been dropped from the line-up of UK festival Born & Bred.
The US rapper insulted Zayn Malik after accusing him of copying her video for Yung Rapunxel on Like I Would.
After posting screenshots from both videos, she began a racist and homophobic rant.
Born & Bred festival tweeted to say it was removing Azealia from the line-up.
Azealia Banks has since deleted most of her controversial tweets.
Wiley, Benga, Lady Leshurr and Mikill Pane are all set to appear on the bill.
After tiring of verbally abusing Zayn, Azealia turned her attention to UK rap as a whole, tweeting that "UK rap is just a disgrace to rap culture in general".
Understandably, British urban artists weren`t happy.
DJ Target, Blizzard and NoLay were among the musicians who chimed in to argue with her when she claimed that none of her music was influenced by the UK scene or grime.
South London MC NoLay also pointed out that, despite her apparent disdain for the UK rap scene, Azealia has collaborated in the past with British rapper Shystie. –According to BBC | <urn:uuid:c58191d5-08c9-4ed7-9c49-40bab187d5c0> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://celebrityaccess.com/caarchive/azealia-banks-dropped-from-festival-line-up/ | 2023-03-25T10:32:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945323.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20230325095252-20230325125252-00062.warc.gz | en | 0.962851 | 274 |
"Drivers are aware that many red light cameras and speed traps are not just about safety but are also used for revenue generation - SpeedTrapUSA communicates speed trap locations to select ESCORT detector users,” said Tim Coomer, Product Development VP.
West Chester, OH (PRWEB) March 29, 2011
ESCORT Inc, the leading manufacturer of premium automotive electronic accessories and maker of the world's best radar and laser detectors, announced the release of its new SpeedTrapUSA.com website for speed trap location sharing and knowledge base development in direct support of its industry leading ESCORT Defender™ Speed Trap and Safety Camera Early Warning Database. The ESCORT Defender™ Speed Trap and Safety Camera Early Warning Database is the industry’s leading collection of speed traps and red light and speed camera locations.
The ESCORT Defender™ Database gives users the ability to receive early warning notification of approaching speed traps, speed cameras, red light cameras and other high-target traffic citation areas. “Drivers are generally aware that many red light and speed cameras are not just about safety but also are used for revenue generation,” said Tim Coomer, VP of Product Development. “And everyone knows that speed traps are often a huge means of revenue generation. Our new SpeedTrapUSA.com website allows users to share speed trap locations with others to dramatically expand threat coverage. The newly identified speed trap locations, once verified, are added to the ESCORT Defender™ Database and then communicated to all of our customers on a weekly basis,” he added.
SpeedTrapUSA allows users the ability to add speed traps to the ESCORT Defender™ Database. Use of the SpeedTrapUSA.com site, including user registration, is easy and free. Participating users create an account on the SpeedTrapUSA.com site—users do not have to have a specific ESCORT Defender™ Database registration. ESCORT has developed a specific data point verification process of user submitted trap locations including the verification by other SpeedTrapUSA users who confirm newly submitted locations. Updates can be downloaded from the ESCORT and BELTRONICS websites.
The ESCORT Defender™ Database, with thousands of speed trap and camera threat locations, helps drivers become more aware of their surroundings and helps keep them ticket-free in known highly targeted areas. The Defender™ Database protects drivers in real time by using GPS technology and unique waypoints to isolate the type of threat used at a particular location. Unique audible and visual alerts are provided through the detector for each type of threat.
A proven shootout winner, the ESCORT’s Defender™ Database was the top scorer in a groundbreaking head-to-head test conducted by RadarTest.com. The Defender™ Database scored above all other competitors for overall accuracy. According to RadarTest.com, the Defender™ Database accurately identified more than 95% of all camera locations tested, while the next closest competitor only identified 66% of these locations.
The ESCORT Defender™ Database comes pre-loaded on select ESCORT and BELTRONICS radar detector models including the all new PASSPORT iQ GPS Navigation and PASSPORT 9500ix windshield models and the 9500ci custom-installed model. The BELTRONICS all new STiR-Plus and Pro GX65 radar and laser detectors also include the Defender Database.

There are several approaches. If you want real look, you go to England
and buy real, old panels. That is a little expensive and you may need to do
some adjusting to the room or the panels.
You have have them made for you or build them yourself. This way they
can match the room size. The quality of the results depends on the skill of
who does the work and the quality of the materials. Price can vary from
cheap to very expensive.
I suppose pre-made or semi-custom panels can be ordered.
So how are your woodworking skills? DIY can result in some really good
high quality work if you have the skills and time. It also may be one of
the least expensive options.
I have never hunted for them, so my suggestions may not be good.
I would try at a big DIY source and check out the kitchen area. They
may have something. Also check out kitchen remodel showrooms and see what
they have. If you are in a large city I would expect there to be some sort
of architectural supply houses and they may have something or be able to
direct you to a source.
Where I live, I would contact some of our Amish sources and see if they
could come up with what I want as custom work.
With Oak veneer plywood that is only the start then you add different
trim pieces to get it the way you want it to look. Then stain and
You are better off looking at Foam molding, not plaster, they are
copied in just abut any style and are easily instaled,light weight and

Veneer ply-trim pieces and foam molding are the way it is done today
If it was a real library-room, all the available wall space would be
covered with shelves, cabinets, and drawers, anyway, and you'd
be asking about how to beef up the floors so that the
building doesn't collapse.
But anyway, for it to look right, you really need to diagram the
walls in question, with measurements, and have someone in your
area who does custom cabinets or other woodwork do them to
fit your specific walls. Anything else is just going to look like
you glued a bunch of cabinet doors to your house.
The best you're likely to do is something like
Which boils down to gluing flat boards and molding
to the wall to fake it. This doesn't really look BAD,
but it doesn't look authentically rennaisance, either.
It depends on how ornate you want it. The simplest approach would be
to fasten 1/4" hardwood plywood to the walls (construction adhesive
and a few nails) then tack on some moulding to frame the panels and
give it some detail. Try to hide the panel nails and seams behind the
mouldings. The trick to getting a nice look is in the moulding
design: base board, picture frame, chair rail, crown, cap mouldings,

Part I: The Preparation of the Earth
The Setting of the Stage
THERE IS little doubt that the first step in preparing the
earth as a habitation for man must have been to clothe it with
vegetation as a source of food for the animals which preceded
him. The earth's earliest atmosphere was almost certainly not
suited for the support of animal life of any kind on land, though
the seas could do so. All animals which live on land must have
free oxygen as a source of energy. This oxygen can be breathed
(or taken in through the skin, as it is in insects) mixed with
other gases such as hydrogen or nitrogen, for instance. It appears
that in the earth's atmosphere, at the beginning, even after
noxious gases had been removed chiefly by loss from the earth's
gravitational field, the available oxygen was combined with carbon
in the form of carbon dioxide. In order to free the oxygen, plants
were created to perform this role by photosynthesis, taking in
carbon dioxide and setting the oxygen free in the atmosphere
again, converting the carbon into usable form. Since all flesh
is grass (1 Peter 1:24) in the sense that all animal life depends
upon plant life for energy, plant life had to precede animal
life not only to make the atmosphere respirable for them but
to supply them with food energy.
1 of 9
But the first plants obviously
had to be able to survive without soil, since soil is composed
of decayed vegetation. Once vegetation of such a kind had multiplied
sufficiently to create humus, then higher forms of plant life
more effective as sources of energy for animals ‹ and later
for man ‹ could be created and planted. That God should create
and plant is not strange, for this is what we are told He did
with respect to the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8).
The course of events was, then,
somewhat as follows. The rock at the surface of the earth was
broken down into gravel and sand by the action of waves, wind,
gravitational shock (i.e., falling and breaking), and by alternating
heat and cold, which would fragment the rock by expansion and
contraction. In addition, volcanic action
contributed ash and certain
chemicals. In due time such combined forces provided suitable
beds for the creation and planting of vegetation capable of growing
without soil. As W. Bell Dawson pointed out, to begin the process
of clothing the earth, God designed plants that could grow in
pure sand; and these gradually made soil for plants of higher
classes to grow in. There is, for example, one species of pine
which is used extensively in France in the dunes along the coast,
for the purpose of preventing them from drifting back over the
cultivated fields. (35)
These first plants were reeds,
rushes, and ferns, and although they often grew as large as trees,
they were not the kind of vegetation which higher forms of animals
use as food. They served a dual purpose, however. While they
lived, they began to remove from the atmosphere its excess carbon
dioxide; and when they died, they created a humus which when
it had accumulated sufficiently provided the bed into which higher
forms of plant life were introduced by creation. Lichens also
enter this picture as fundamental to all that followed. "Lichens
have no need for soil, but, preparing it, they lay the cornerstone
for flowers and trees. They are the plant world's pioneers, bringing
life where none existed." (36) When the time was fully come that animals should
move out of the sea on to the dry land, there was both air fit
for them to breathe and food suitable for them to eat.
George Wald, Professor of Biology
at Harvard, speaks of the preparation of the atmosphere by plant
life in the following way: (37)
The atmosphere of our planet
seems to have contained no (free) oxygen until organisms placed
it there by the process of plant photosynthesis. . . .
Once this was available organisms
could invent a new way to acquire energy, many times as efficient.
. . This is the process of cold combustion called respiration.
Wald spoke of
"inventing" a new way to acquire energy far more efficient
than the methods by which plants acquire it. The word "invent"
is inappropriate since it attributes to inanimate things a consciousness
of purpose which they surely do not have. But his remarks serve
to point out that the liberation of free oxygen for cellular
respiration allowed for the introduction of living forms with
immensely increased energy potential. The lowest, and thus

presumably the oldest,
deposits of minerals are found in non-oxidized form, which seems
to demonstrate the initial absence of free oxygen. It is evident,
therefore, that animal life could not have existed until the
plants had transformed the atmosphere.
This step thus opened the way for
the introduction of creatures which were far less tied to their
environment, one further step in the unfolding of God's purposes
in the ultimate creation of man. As Wald put it: (38)

provided a surplus (of energy). To use an economic analogy, photosynthesis
brought life to the subsistence level, respiration provided it
But this is
not all. The new atmosphere thus generated had an equally important
function of another kind:(39)
The entry of oxygen into the
atmosphere also liberated organisms in another sense. The sun's
radiation contains ultraviolet components which no living cell
can tolerate. We are sometimes told that if this radiation were
to reach the earth's surface, life would cease. That is not quite
true. Water absorbs ultraviolet radiation very effectively, and
one must conclude that as long as these rays penetrated in quantity
to the surface of the earth, life had to remain under water.
With the appearance of oxygen,
however, a layer of ozone formed high in the atmosphere and absorbed
this radiation. Now organisms could for the first time emerge
from the water and begin to populate the earth and the air. Oxygen
provided not only the means of obtaining adequate energy for
evolution, but the protective blanket of ozone which alone made
possible terrestrial life.
of preparation reinforce the concept of purpose, because they
indicate the timed introduction of the requisite elements in
the economy of Nature at each step as required -- and very frequently
without predecessors. The appearance of lichens, for example,
looks much more like deliberate creation than the outcome of
pure chance. Similarly, later on, lungs seemed to be in the making
at the same time that the atmosphere was being prepared for creatures
that could make full use of such structures, a circumstance which
again looks much more like planning than the operation of pure
Everything is orderly and purposeful,
there is nothing accidental about the order in which forms of
life appear from amoeba to man.
38. Ibid., p.53.
for a Succession of Forms
In giving introductory
courses in the life sciences, which are naturally presented from
the evolutionary point of view, university professors often refer
to the "Evolutionary Base Line." By this is meant a
succession of forms of life which are chosen to represent what
are believed to be the basic steps in the process of development
from amoeba to man.
This base line begins with unicellular
forms such as Paramecia, but it is worth noticing that an authority
like Gaylord Simpson considers the step from no life to amoeba
as being as great as the whole passage from amoeba to man. In
order to make the picture more or less complete, the Evolutionary
Base Line will be given very briefly with a note explaining the
advance represented by each form in the series.
The line is traced from the invertebrates
to the vertebrates through Amphioxus, a creature which stands
lowest in the phylum Chordata. This creature lacks a brain in
the accepted sense, all its controls being distributed along
the dorsal cord. It differs from other invertebrates in the possession
of a pharynx perforated by gill slits which, however, serve to
strain food rather than to provide an oxygen supply. Next in
this base line it is customary to place the Lamprey, which has
its notochord apparently encased in part in bony segments. Lampreys
have "nostrils," rudimentary eyes, ears under the skin,
and a single nasal pouch. These animals have a brain, but no
movable jaw and no fins. Next comes Climatius which, like the
former, is quite small but now has a kind of primitive jaw. Then
comes Cladoselache, with paired fins, fully developed jaws, jointed
and muscled, and with both upper and lower segments free to move.
We are then introduced to Crossopterygians. Here we find the
presence of bony structures underlying the fins constituting
genuine limbs. These are viewed as the forerunners of legs in
amphibians. Unlike the animals which preceded, they possessed
a simple lung. Associated with these representative creatures
in the base line are the Dipnoi, or lung fishes, which are at
a similar level of development except that they have a modified
mouth construction in which there is an opening from the nasal
sac (now a kind of lung) to the inside of the mouth. This enabled
the animal for a limited time to dispense with the use of the
gills and use oxygen stored in the nasal sac. In conjunction
with the development of fins with a bone sub-structure, it became
possible for these creatures to make short trips out of the water.
It is generally held that, in Devonian times, extended drought
dried up many rivers leaving only stagnant pools.
When these became depleted
of oxygen, the lung fishes were able to move to new pools. Thus
began, supposedly, the conquest of the land.
The most primitive amphibians appear
in the Carboniferous Era, namely, the labyrinthodonts, in which
appear rudimentary legs with five webbed digits and a more highly
developed olfactory sense. Later in the Carboniferous Era, the
Cotylosaurs are first discovered. One particular species, the
Seymouria, have genuine legs which, however, were very squat
and suggest that the possessor was not really at home on land.
Nevertheless, the Seymouria produced the first land-type eggs
in which the water environment is contained within the egg and
surrounded by a "shell."
Up to this point, all living creatures
were cold-blooded. So long as they stayed in the water, this
was no disadvantage, a water environment being probably the most
stable environment conceivable. In very hot weather, the deeper
waters remain cool and in sub-zero weather, the ice which forms
on the top protects the water beneath from dropping too low.
It is generally thought that this accounts for the persistence
of many fishes, such as Coelacanths, through millions and millions
of years with virtually no change in form. However, when the
environment over land areas had been prepared by plant life and
the atmosphere had been made fit for animals that breathe air,
it was then possible for living creatures to leave their watery
home and come up to stay on the dry land. At first these had
been forays only, then some of the first pioneers began to lay
their eggs on the land, though they and the young returned to
the water as a natural habitat. Longer and longer stays were
made by such creatures in this new environment, but so long as
they were cold-blooded, they were at the mercy of the elements,
for when the sun went down or cold weather came, their energy
was reduced to a very low level.
There is an early creature occasionally
mentioned in the Evolutionary Base Line, the Dmetrodon, that
was apparently supplied with a strange sail-like structure along
its back supported by a number of "masts." Sometimes
it looks as though God took delight in experimenting. It is not
certain what purpose these served, but it has been thought that
they were heat exchangers, a kind of network of arteries set
in a thin membrane stretched out to present the maximum surface
area to the sun, thus providing the animal with heat more rapidly
than otherwise. Presumably, when cold temperatures came, the
reverse process was avoided by a form of vasoconstriction so
that deep body heat was not lost to the cool air
through the heat exchangers.
But no cold-blooded animal can remain active and alert outside
of a fairly narrow range of temperature variation. Such creatures
could never, therefore, become complete masters of the environment.
At this point, it is customary
to follow a sideroad in the Evolutionary Base Line. Warm-blooded
animals as a class bear their young alive. The egg, as such,
is never "laid." But there was a stage ‹ and representatives
still exist ‹ in which the transition was not completely
made, as represented by the Duckbilled Platypus and the Spiny
Anteater, both of which are egg-laying mammals. These creatures
are truly mammals and warm-blooded, yet the young they bear appear
first as reptilian eggs. A further stage is represented by the
Marsupials. These are pouched animals which, like the Duckbilled
Platypus and Spiny Anteater, are not included in the base line;
but they are also referred to as transitional forms, because
although the egg is never laid in this case, the young are nevertheless
hatched "too soon" and have therefore to be returned
to a kind of "shell" to complete the full process of
embryonic development. They are not included because they are
too "late" in the series.
Transitional forms between cold-blooded
animals and mammals are sometimes represented by the Therapsids,
of which one particular species, the Cynognathus, is customarily
singled out. It is not necessary here to detail the reasons why
this species is considered transitional, except to mention that
it has a number of mammalian features, especially in the mouth
region. And although it is coldblooded, it appears to have been
highly active -- which most coldblooded land animals are not.
Among the earliest representatives
of the Placentals, which bear their young in a fully developed
state are Hedgehogs, Ground Shrews, and Tree Shrews. The Evolutionary
Base Line is traced through the Tree Shrews for several reasons,
one of which is its completely unspecialized form. These little
animals enjoy the privilege of being able to sit upright and
use prehensile front feet to feed. While they have an exceedingly
simple brain, they are highly mobile, with limbs capable of complex
movements and a fair range of stereoscopic vision.
On a rung nearer the top of the
ladder are placed the Lemurs, in which there is a development
of fingernails and well-formed "hands," with opposable
thumbs widely separated and separable from the rest of the fingers.
They appear to have a wide range of vocalization and their eyes
are closer to the front than similar mammals which preceded them.
They were quite common in Eocene
times. Their facial appearance
was somewhat foxlike, a fact which has led some authorities to
question whether they should be classed as Primates.
Soon after the appearance of the
Lemurs, we find the Tarsioids. These creatures are placed much
higher in the scale of evolution and are classed as Primates.
Their eyes are turned completely forward, the nose is very short,
and the flattening of the face is taken to mean that the sense
of smell has become less important and stereoscopic vision has
now taken over.
We come, then, to monkeys and apes
which appear next in the geological time scale and seem to stand
quite close to man in many interesting ways. It is now customary
to complete the Evolutionary Base Line tentatively by passing
from monkeys and apes through the South African man-apes (Australopithecinae)
and certain Far Eastern fossil men (Sinanthropus and Pithecanthropus)
to modern man.
In looking over this thread of
progress, which is presented in slightly variant forms depending
upon the authority, one can discern a certain purpose throughout
the story. Sir Julian Huxley formulated a very simple definition
of what is meant by progress from this biological point of view.
He said: (40)
We have thus arrived at a definition
of evolutionary progress as consisting in a raising of the upper
level of biological efficiency, this being defined as increased
control over and independence of the environment.
are many faults in this provisional base line. The order may
be incorrect, and it is admitted at once that some of the stages
are represented by animals which are still with us, though "ideally"
they should long since have left the scene, having once fulfilled
their role in the chain of events. But one can discern an apparently
orderly progression which is intellectually satisfying and not
at all unreasonable. This allows us to see that God may have
acted in setting the stage for man through a series of steps
which, if we ourselves had had His creative power, we too might
have adopted as being entirely appropriate. If one thinks about
it, there is really no reason why we ourselves should not have
been so designed that embryological and foetal development, instead
of taking nine months to complete, might have been completed
in a matter of minutes. It is a startling thought and one can
think of all kinds of physiological difficulties, but with His
infinite design capacity God could easily have overcome any such
difficulties, and this accelerated gestation would seem the most
natural thing in the world. There are
40. Huxley, Sir Julian, Evolution: The
Modern Synthesis, Harper, New York, 1942, p.564.
of course, in such a program, and I am entirely ignoring these
by this proposal. But the fact remains that God could have appointed
this as the normal method. That He did not do so, that He made
it a drawn-out process, suggests to me that He also had a good
reason for making the preparation of the earth for man a drawn-out
process. It is not altogether impossible that David, by inspiration,
may have penned his words in Psalm 139:14‹16 in such a way
that they could have a kind of double meaning to reflect some
such thought as this:
I will praise thee; for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth
My substance was not hid from thee,
when I was made in secret,
and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance,
yet being unperfect;
and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance
were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
of the preparation of the earth for the coming of man was not
altogether unlike the process of the preparation of the organs
and tissues in the womb which, when the time has come for birth,
will all be perfectly suited for the role they are to play in
the introduction of a human being into the world.
If there is any sense in which
later forms of life were "higher" than earlier forms,
it may not be so much in their complexity as it is in their increasing
independence of the environment. With the appearance of man,
we have a creature who, though by no means wholly independent
of the environment, yet is so constituted structurally and functionally
as to be superior to the environment in an entirely new way.
He is, or may be, more independent geographically by being ubiquitous,
dietetically by being omnivorous, environmentally by being master
of land and sea and air ‹ and now even of space also ‹
and governmentally by his acquisition of superior means of achieving
dominion over all other contestants. In a manner of speaking,
each of these areas of superiority was apportioned a little at
a time to animals which preceded him, though to none of them
was given superiority in them all.
The nearer the time came for the
playing out of the final act of the drama, the more nearly can
the stage be seen to have achieved its final setting. It is not
therefore surprising that just before the appointed time for
the creation of man, there were already in existence man-like
creatures whose presence demonstrated how nearly ready the setting
of the stage was. Such creatures were in existence by then not
because some blind evolutionary process was about to cast man
up as a final gesture in fulfilling its own destiny, but rather
God had now deliberately
and purposefully brought the world to that condition of preparedness
appropriate for the introduction of man, the crown of creation.
The idea that this vast display of creative activity in thus
setting the stage, occupying an inconceivably great span of time,
could be likened to the gestation period in the birth of a human
being, may seem far-fetched indeed, and yet it is an idea that
has appealed to many minds in the past -- until Darwin turned
men's thoughts into the barren channel of atheistic evolution.
Somewhere during the Middle Ages an anonymous writer, without
benefit of the knowledge of the past which we now have, set forth
this concept very simply and with great beauty when he said,
"The Cosmos was pregnant with man.'' (41)

A Water Bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a hole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to her house.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But, the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it was meant to do. After years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, the cracked pot spoke to the Water Bearer one day by the stream.
“I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have more work to do and you don’t get full value from your efforts.”
The bearer smiled and said to the pot, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path.
Every day as we walk back, you have watered them.
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.” | <urn:uuid:3a0fc4a7-87fd-47d5-a404-ce89c4c84325> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://gabracadabrastudios.com/2011/05/05/for-all-the-cracked-pots/ | 2020-09-27T07:26:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400265461.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927054550-20200927084550-00622.warc.gz | en | 0.985053 | 368 |

My last online M2090-234 classes were a bad experience as it hurt a lot of people in my life. This became a major hurting thing because I was a topper in my school and had never been failed but here I failed. Now, I made myself well to try for the second time and this time I wanted to make everyone smile. For that I searched a lot of thing regarding the M2090-234 mock test download and for my practice I chose the barindumps where I learned a lot of new thing which were absent in my last prep material. Finally, with its help I scored well and brought the smiles.

With less time of just 10 days in hand and so much to memorize, everyone would definitely freak out. I did freak out too in the beginning. But with a guide like Exam Papers QnA, I became more clam as I knew that this is the secret to success. I managed to get all the points memorized in no time and attended the exam will full confidence. Still I was totally amazed to score 90 in my exam M2090-234. I had never thought this would be possible. But Exam Papers QnA made it possible. Thanks a lot.
