The ACTU secretary is also sending a message to Labor not to get too “business friendly".
His arguments for pay rises are partly based on household living costs rising by 50 per cent more than the consumer price index.
It is true the Reserve Bank’s commentary so far supports the union line that there is no evidence yet of a general wages blowout, apart from obvious “hot spots" in the resource sector. But it is early days for Labor’s new bargaining system, which is based on enterprise bargaining which requires “good faith" bargaining, with no broad role for old-style arbitration.
The acid test of the new system will come over the next two years, as existing non-union collective agreements and individual Australian workplace agreements expire.
Unions can represent even a single member in bargaining and have a role as default bargaining agent unless employees appoint somebody else.
The supply and demand for labour will play a big role. Almost full employment and skill shortages are causing strong wages growth in areas such as resources and construction even without union involvement.
Some sectors can afford to pay higher wage outcomes, others less so. It’s yet to be seen whether employers can negotiate improved productivity on the way through.

Are Open Strings a Chord?
Yes. The definition of a chord is anything that is two notes or more. If you played the open strings E and A, you would be playing a chord. The chord could be an E sus, A5, or some color tones of another chord that has no root.
Many styles of music use open strings, in fact it determines the key signature many times. Writing a song in the Key of G# makes it difficult to utilize the open strings (unless of course you have a capo).
Keep in mind that if I play three notes and all three notes are the pitch ‘A’, then it is NOT a chord. A chord has to be two different notes. | <urn:uuid:5ac043ef-e503-410a-a02b-007dd1c7f395> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://waltribeiro.com/2009/03/16/are-open-strings-a-chord/ | 2015-04-21T04:58:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246640124.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045720-00157-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959956 | 150 |

Crisis erupted due to unconstitutional attempts by ruling coalition to expand - Yushchenko
President meets Jose Manuel Barroso
Victor Yushchenko has met with Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, in Brussels, according to the President`s press-office. They spoke about how to resolve the political crisis in Ukraine and develop the country’s ties with the European Union.
Speaking about the stalemate in his country, the Ukrainian leader said during a joint press conference after the talks, “Ukraine will find a democratic response to this challenge.”
Yushchenko added that the country’s political leaders would most probably compromise on the need to pass an opposition law and a law based on the National Security Pact, adopt changes to the cabinet law and create a commission to amend the constitution.
“The integral component of how to resolve the crisis is an early election,” he reiterated.
The President characterized the situation in Ukraine as democratic, saying that the country should react to challenges on its democratic path lawfully and politically. He promised again there would be no use of force to settle the situation. He said the crisis had erupted because of the unconstitutional attempts by the ruling coalition to expand its parliamentary majority.
“This path leads to a revision of the result of last year’s parliamentary election and usurpation, posing a threat to Ukraine’s constitutional order,” he said.
When asked about the role of the Constitutional Court in helping end the standoff, Yushchenko expressed confidence “each side of the conflict will accept a ruling by the Constitutional Court” but added that there some nuances that should be resolved politically.
Barroso said Ukraine should settle the crisis both politically and constitutionally, for "it is always possible to find a flexible solution and make compromises through constitutional means.” He said Europe was closely monitoring developments in Ukraine.
“Our message to Ukraine and its people is that we support democracy and stability in Ukraine,” he said.
Yushchenko and Barroso also spoke about preparations to sign an enhanced agreement between Ukraine and the EU. The leader of the European Commission expressed hopes our relations “will become closer and closer and that we will soon resolve all the problems.” He wished Ukraine and Poland success in today’s final presentation of their bid to host the Euro 2012 finals. | <urn:uuid:b586348c-9627-47f2-919f-78b56282e763> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.unian.info/world/42038-crisis-erupted-due-to-unconstitutional-attempts-by-ruling-coalition-to-expand-yushchenko.html | 2018-06-25T07:40:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867579.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625072642-20180625092642-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.958998 | 490 |

Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients often experience significant psychological distress including symptoms of depression, sleep disturbance, and fatigue. They can also exhibit stress-induced immune system compromises that have the potential to accelerate tumor growth and metastasis. Interventions that restore psycho-immunological balance may also help improve cancer treatment outcomes.
Witek-Janusek et al. [Brain, Behavior, and Immunity] tested the effect of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on psychological and immunological functioning in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in an experimental trial.
The researchers randomly assigned 164 women (average age = 55 years; 77% Caucasian) recently diagnosed with early stage breast cancer who had undergone surgery to either a standard MBSR or an active control condition. The active control consisted of eight 2.5 hour group sessions providing information on breast cancer, cancer treatment, communication with health providers, and other health-related topics. Attendance in both programs was fairly good, with 68% of MBSR and 78% of control participants attending at least 7 of the group sessions.
Each participant’s psychological status was assessed pre-intervention, mid-intervention, post-intervention, and at 1- and 6-month follow-ups for perceived stress, depression, sleep quality, fatigue, and mindfulness (Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire).
The researchers also measured natural killer cell anti-tumor activity (NKCA), monocyte production of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Interferon-gamma (INF-ɣ), and the amount of IL-6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) present in blood plasma. NKCA prevents tumor growth and metastasis, and is thus associated with longer cancer-free periods. NK cells produce INF-ɣ, an anti-tumor cytokine which is a key immune system activator. IL-6 and TNF-α are pro-inflammatory cytokines that promote tumor progression and aggressiveness.
The results showed that the MBSR group had significantly greater increases in two protective immunological factors (NKCA and INF-ɣ) and significantly lower levels of two pro-inflammatory factors (IL-6 production and TNF-α plasma levels) than the control group.
These differences remained significant at the 6-month follow-up. MBSR INF-γ levels increased by 2,547 pg/ml from pretesting to 6-month follow-up, while control group INF-γ levels increased 973 pg/ml. Similarly, MBSR NKCA increased by 30 lytic units over the same time period, while the control group increased by 0.17 lytic units.
The MBSR group showed significantly more rapid improvements in perceived stress, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. Correspondingly, mindfulness was associated with significantly lower levels of stress, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. Greater improvements in sleep disturbance and fatigue were in turn significantly associated with faster increases in NKCA.
This study shows that MBSR is more useful in improving psychological and immune function in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients than an active control focused on cancer survivor education. It is possible that this experimental intervention may lead to longer cancer-free periods for these patients, although this end outcome was not evaluated. The study also suggests a crucial link between improved sleep and immune system recovery.
The study is important because it focuses on recently diagnosed patients who are at a vulnerable point when psychological distress has a significant impact on immune function and the possible progression of disease.

In the 2011 session, I was the chief patron of three reform bills which went after foreclosure fraud and “Robo-signing.” These bills required minimum notice, recordation of assignment interests and prohibited the use of forged signatures on foreclosing documents.
Despite intense industry opposition, one of my bills actually passed the Senate — before dying in the House. (Similar bills carried by Bob Marshall, R-Manassas, also died in the House).
Robo-signing occurs when someone repeatedly signs legal documents without first-hand knowledge that the facts are actually true. It is prevalent in foreclosure proceedings where the mortgage holder (usually a bank or investment trust) has acquired its “title” through purchasing a mortgage-backed security — but never actually obtained the Note or Deed of Trust secured by the property.
Robo-signing was high-lighted in the fall of 2010 by a investigations which documented how homeowners facing foreclosure would obtain “loan modifications” from the loan servicer, then lose their house anyway when a separate entity actually “owning” their debt foreclosed. While this action violated Federal law, it happened so quickly that most homeowners had no time to protect their rights (ed note: my law firm has represented dozens of homeowners illegally foreclosed upon in this manner).
When I filed my reform legislation, we heard from the lending community – this doesn’t happen in Virginia. There are no problems in Virginia. Not here.
This week, the interfaith group VOICE released a report from its investigation of foreclosures in Prince William County. For the record, PWC has been the epicenter of foreclosure nation, with 16,000 foreclosures in the past four years (nearly half of all home sales). No other locality comes close.
VOICE looked at 10% of these property files, which is certainly a scientific sample. What did they find?
In at least 45% of the files, the key documents (e.g. the “Substitution of Trustee” document) were produced at sites being investigated for Robo-signing. Another 25% were initiated by MERS, which is a Reston entity also charged with not documenting its ownership interest. Less than half the files were untainted.
VOICE also found multiple examples of mis-matched signatures or the same person signing for multiple different banks and with multiple different titles. (Look for the name and signature of ”Chris Anderson” in multiple places). The Robo-signing even continued after the investigations came to light, bringing pressure on JP Morgan and Bank of America to temporarily halt foreclosures.
What’s the point? Robo-signing did occur in Virginia. It was used methodically to foreclose on homes, including cases in which the owners still had a right to remain. It ”cut corners” for lenders who did not want to research title or give proper notice to homeowners.
With the real estate market still flat, there is a second wave of foreclosures underway. Some homeowners will certainly lose their houses. But all of them deserve to have their rights taken seriously and to have legal formalities followed.
The Assembly should outlaw Robo-signing. If not now, then when? | <urn:uuid:60c9db02-fbaa-424d-9c00-fbb1712169b3> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://oxroadsouth.com/2011/09/robo-signing-and-foreclosures-yes-its-in-va/ | 2018-12-14T10:29:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376825512.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20181214092734-20181214114234-00541.warc.gz | en | 0.965837 | 676 |
When It's not a morning smoothie of prebiotics and probiotics (see here for the recipe), this is now closer to the breakfasts Bea and I eat around here. It's taken a while to get used to eating this way rather than eggs, meat, maybe a piece of fruit. In spite of blogging now for a while about how I don't think very low carb diets are optimal long term, it has been really difficult to get out of the practice on average.
Beans with eggs are the bomb for breakfast, as well as other starches with meals. As such, both the wife and I have gone from fasting blood glucose numbers of 100-120 down to the 80s for her (80 this morning) and 90s for me (96 yesterday, didn't check today).
Some cooked and cooled pinto beans from the fridge, refried with a little butter, half slice of swiss melted on top. The potatoes were leftover from baked potatoes last night (yep, we had potatoes last night, too—along with grilled pork steaks, haricot verts, and hollandaise sauce...all courtesy of our friends).
[easyazon_image add_to_cart="default" align="left" asin="B00CLZ1QR8" cloaking="default" height="160" localization="default" locale="US" nofollow="default" new_window="default" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JrAyrBFQL._SL160_.jpg" tag="fretheani0c-20" width="115"]
The potatoes were chilled in the fridge overnight, then I peeled them, chopped them into cubes and fried them in Red Palm Oil. If you've never used red palm oil, you don't know what you're missing. I use it often for frying potatoes and doing oven fries. Has a great flavor and is excellent as a condiment in terms of a dipping sauce or a salad dressing. Goes great on scrambled eggs. And, it's truly red. Those are russets, not yellows.
So anyway, that was my breakfast and Bea had just a little less starch, with one egg. Nothing else, we both drank water. At the 1hr point, I measured 149 and at the 2hr point, 129, and at 3 hours: 95. When I first got a meter and began paying attention, I'd sometimes see 160s. Probably, if you have physiologic insulin resistance brought on by chronic LC, as both Bea and I had, then you're going to have 10-20 points more on your prostpranidials, maybe more. I once hit a 194, and now haven't seen anything over 150 in a while.
Bea didn't test at 1 hr but at 2 hours she was 105. Interestingly, she tested 130 yesterday at 2 hours after eating half of a 4-egg omelet with cheese, some hash browns and a biscuit at a restaurant. Today's meal was a LOT more carbs, but they weren't grain based, not cooked in crap oils, and there's resistant starch and fiber.
Sometimes I wonder if VLC is a self fulfilling prophesy with folks in terms of BG. What I did, having an idea of what I was measuring, was to put away the meter and then start trying to get in starches almost every meal and then a couple of weeks later, picked it up and did some tests and found I had greatly improved across the board. Had I been like so many I see in comments, I would have never gotten that far, unwilling to go through the process, getting freaked out by "hi" readings that were actually caused by the self imposed insulin resistance I'd given myself—not from eating too many carbs, but by eating far too few.
So imagine this. Person goes LC, loses weight, gets on forums, everybody is talking about BG meters and how bad carbs are. It's like: "I can't eat any carbs other than non-starchy vegetables. I had an indulgence the other day of a few slices of pizza and my BG shot up to 160!" Person becomes concerned with all these anecdotes, goes gets a meter, confirms the exact same thing. Prophesy fulfilled. Welcome to the broken club.
And they're stuck, because everyone will tell them "see, you can't eat carbs. They'll make you diabetic!" And never is it considered that insulin sensitivity has been shot from chronic dietary starch and glucose starvation, and what people are seeing is not type 2 diabetes but ironically, a condition they've brought on themselves where the actual cure is in the very thing they believe to be the cause!
Frankly, I'd drop the BG meter for a month, drop the scale too, and get a daily average of 150-200g of carbs—not counting fiber—from rice, beans, potatoes, fruit, maybe even a little raw honey. Prepare those foods so as to maximize Resistant Starch, and consider supplementing as well. Then, after a month, see where your numbers are. | <urn:uuid:520e8f91-6390-4f67-b56d-6a151966ed4a> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://freetheanimal.com/2014/03/breakfast-potatoes-sensitivity.html | 2015-03-30T20:01:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131299877.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172139-00174-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973959 | 1,064 |
Badger, Bunny And Black-Cat Blues: 3 Tales Of Animal Noir
How do I like my summer noir? Hard-boiled, with brooding investigators, sharp wits, danger, crazy fights, bullets, chases and loves lost, unrequited, or dripping with passion. Or perhaps tempered by darkness in a cold, post-revolutionary world filled with intrigue, conspiracy and a resistance hanging in the balance. Even better, it should be part of a series, making it both binge-worthy and binge-able. And if it turns out it's a graphic novel featuring anthropomorphic characters? Best of all.
Anthropomorphism: We've practically been weaned on it — from The Little Caterpillar, Mother Goose and Charlotte's Web, to the army of Disney characters guarding the passage to adulthood like the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. As teens, we're turned on to the political satires like Animal Farm, with its pigs and dogs playing out tableaus of politics and human cruelty far more expressively than actual humans.
Reams have been written on our psychic response to stories told by animals, and the way animals can provide a voice to the oppressed under the mask of cute and cuddly. Plutarch wrote essays about it ("On the Use of Reason by 'Irrational' Animals" — definitely not beach reading, by the way). But that aside, most of us simply crave a good yarn well told.
Fortunately, graphic storytellers Bryan Talbot, S.M. Vidaurri and duo Juan Diaz Canales and Juanjo Guardido all deliver with their anthropomorphic creations, wowing us with their words and art, and this very important message: Don't make the kitty angry, trust toads or give bunnies explosives.
Jody Arlington is a communications and policy strategist for the independent film and documentary community, and the owner of a truly astounding number of graphic novels. She also has a thing for creepy bunnies.

HALLS CREEK RODEO SONG EXTRAS
A significant experience for Madjitil Moorna Choir has been our connection over 6 years, with the remote community of Halls Creek.
In May 2009 Madjitil Moorna travelled for the first time from Perth to the East Kimberley for a unique project built around cultural exchange. We were invited by teacher Doreen Green, a strong leader whose ancestors drove cattle and worked to preserve culture in the East Kimberley. Doreen believed in the healing power of music in community. Doreen believed in the healing power of music in community.
Led by Aboriginal musical directors Della Rae Morrison and George Walley, Madjitil Moorna returned to Halls Creek in May 2010 and again in 2011, 2012 and 2013. With each visit, choir members brought different activities and became more involved with the wider community.
The project focused on promoting positive self-esteem and good health through the healing powers of singing together in Aboriginal languages.
With each visit, we taught our songs and performed with the kids in free community concerts for their families and the local community.
In 2009 George Walley wrote a song with year 6/7 students. They chose the 'best thing about living in Halls Creek' - the Rodeo - as their subject. Since that visit the song has been sung all over WA and learnt by 1000s of primary school children in the Perth Metro Area. This hot favourite was recorded with kids back in Halls Creek in 2011 and was published as a beautiful picture book in 2017. Readers are encouraged to access the music video clip that brings the song alive (above) and to view the short documentary about the making of the song. (below)
The choir is very proud of this song and believes that the book will be a valuable resource in remote communities and right across the country.
The Halls Creek Project has given the choir considerable insight into the effects of colonial history on Aboriginal people and culture. Working and playing with kids and community has inspired us to carry on singing contemporary Aboriginal songs, knowing that by doing so, we are contributing to healing and reconciliation between us all as Australians.

have been trying to figure out what is wrong... Here is what happened... My fiance and I have sex on a daily basis, but we don't use protection (it hasn't caused a problem yet), but having sex hasn't caused any issues with my period so far, until a few days ago...
I was PMSing with the usual symptons (cramps, cravings, mood swings etc.) and was supposed to start my period on the 24th of this month, but on the 23rd when we had sex, it stopped all signs of PMSing and my period. It is now the 28th and there still isn't a sign of a period.
Could I be pregnant or did sex prevent my period or is it something else?

I am a huge fan of mini albums - the brighter the better, which is why when I saw the brand new Lush range I squealed with delight because the colours just rocked!
I worked with the Lush Album, Ribbon and jewels as the basis for my colour system and complimented it with the Stella & Rose papers and stickers. They just worked beautifully together and made my photos flow through the album.
I went with a play theme to my album to show the different aspects of play that my girls get up to and what was important to them in 2010. My girls are often very different in what appeals to them so this was a good way of linking it all together.
When I work on mini-album, i try to always use the same layout for each page just flipped as I go. This makes it easier to embellish and faster to get it all stuck down.
this is the basic sketch I used for this album - I hope you will enjoy using it too as it gives you lots of scope for personalization while still having the same basic structure to each page.

Because there is no end to the justification for violence, we are participating in a movement for dialogue by bringing together counselors, psychologists and other experts from different traditions (American, African, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc.) to address conflict resolution. Perspectives and experiences of persons from diverse religious, national and cultural backgrounds are essential to hear the issues each group/nation feels important. Visions in Conflict volumes provide a means to encourage dialogue in light of pressing realities.
“Visions in Conflict” has a threefold purpose. The first of these is to express much of the good work being done in the field of conflict resolution and peace building around the world. This is especially relevant in the arenas of: acknowledgement and understanding of the “other” (including interfaith dialogue); communication through conflict and forgiveness. Second, this compilation aims to open up the field in order to invite dialogue with other practitioners engaged in similar work. Finally, the book is presented as a means of illustrating practical, 'in vivo'/in the field operations and processes that have worked so that others working in such arenas may be more effective in the creation and building of peace and understanding within and between the diversity of peoples.
The “Visions in Conflict” edited volume represents a concrete strategy to encourage dialogue through educational venues like high schools, colleges and universities, as well as book clubs and book fairs. The intended audience for this book spans a variety of disciplines and occupational interests. A generally educated audience interested in exploring ways to contribute to reducing tensions between groups in a multicultural, multi-religious, multinational world is the audience for whom the book will be written.
Fundamentally, though, it is addressed toward all those religious and community leaders who would bravely venture forth into building harmony between the faiths. It is for those who would engage creative conflict resolution proactively between all groups that live in geographic proximities which necessitate a meeting of the minds and a mutual honoring of a disparity of values and lifestyles – all individuals respecting the law and the spirit of democracy. Professionals would also be interested, who wish to expand their narrow 'expert training' frameworks and willingly work to embrace a broader view encompassing all peoples of the world sharing common needs and aims as human beings. The book will benefit these individuals not only by analyzing the concept of ‘otherness', but also by familiarizing the reader with a philosophy behind and practical methods of helping achieve reconciliation between individuals and groups.
Conflict, even of the life and death sort, is apparently inevitable in this world. The real issue, therefore, is how to shift the methodology of conflict from a military standpoint to political, persuasive, and, maybe, economic standpoints that strive to find areas of cooperation and collusion rather than violence and coercion. Doing that requires a shift of theological or at least philosophical perspective. The source of much of this conflict is conveyed through religion in its tendency to teach its followers that they belong to specific epistemological and ontological categories. Not being able to differentiate between the truth and the frame in which they are placed in their culture, inter-religious dialogue is often approached from a naïve perspective. We either emphasize our differences or our agreements. These are generally placed along one of three fundamental issues: scriptural literalism, determining when to use force and differing answers to the Euthyphro dilemma. In this latter issue, it can be seen that the Christians defined the ultimate virtue as love, the Hindus defined it as karma, Muslims understand it to be obedience and Jews believe it to be justice. | <urn:uuid:692a14ee-4417-4123-b59a-d9d12eebda1b> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://visionsinconflict.com/purpose | 2020-12-04T01:29:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141733120.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20201204010410-20201204040410-00212.warc.gz | en | 0.950392 | 723 |
We have some great news for those of you who are currently participating in the Black Ops 3 beta on PS4. Treyarch has announced their expected ‘surprise’ by revealing that they will not only raise the Black Ops 3 beta level cap, but also add a brand new map and game mode to the beta as well.
It doesn’t get much better than that. The new map being added is Stronghold and with over four hours to go until that map goes live we can bring you some Black Ops 3 Stronghold gameplay giving you the perfect preview.
Stronghold will be added at 10am Pacific Time and it will also be joined by a new match mode called Uplink.
Above is the confirmation of this from Treyarch’s David Vonderhaar and below we have added gameplay showing Stronghold on Capture The Flag.
We advise you to study it as it will allow you to gain an advantage before the map goes live on the beta and you will already know the key points of interest in the map before everyone else.
Take a look at the gameplay below and let us know if you are excited about the game after playing the beta. The Black Ops 3 level cap is being raised to level 34 meaning that you can try out new unlocks in the game and hopefully some new Specialists too! | <urn:uuid:b6b6de77-2963-40e2-945f-bd42dba6c1ef> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.product-reviews.net/2015/08/21/black-ops-3-stronghold-gameplay-before-beta-update/ | 2017-11-21T12:25:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806353.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121113222-20171121133222-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.961699 | 268 |
Silly Kingdom by Katie Shanahan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If your a comic or graphic novel fan and your not currently following the work of the Shanahan siblings, then you should be!
In their first self-published comic, Katie and Steven (Shaggy) Shananhan give us a short tale of a grumpy, old wizard, Alengrimrichshaw, and the young royals who conspire to give him a 211th birthday party. What results is a comic with hilariously expressive scenes and a timeless, kid-friendly Saturday morning cartoon feel.
I only wish it was longer! I'm hopeful that there will be more Silly Kingdom volumes in the future.

Notes: Sometimes, you just have to take it back to basics. Today’s sandwich combines sliced rare roast beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and red onion, with a generous slathering of horseradish aioli, spread on fresh Sourdough bread. I overdid it a little on the red onion; it ended up kind of dominating the sandwich, and next time, I will use less. The cheese was also kind of crummy.
About Malcolm Bedell
My first memories of cooking start in Maine at six years old, when I wore a yellow rainslicker to avoid getting spattered by the bacon I was frying in a skillet. You can see more of my writing and photography in regular contributions to LA Weekly, Bon Appetit, Serious Eats, and the Huffington Post. | <urn:uuid:de00f3b3-de42-444a-90aa-ae38bc06fcbe> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.fromaway.com/sandwiches/todays-sandwich-roast-beef-cheddar-homemade | 2015-03-27T17:17:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131296587.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172136-00196-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.924276 | 168 |
Australian expats living in Canada and Canadians living in Australia are well familiar with the costs of international money transfers. Banks in both Australia and Canada will take you for a ride, charging the highest fees for the worst value. The exchange rates they offer are always well off the mid-market rates. So when you pay more than CAD20 for a small international transfer to Canada, you’re also getting less than you deserve. In recent years, this has led to a surge in the fortunes of commercial foreign exchange firms. Although they charge fees as well, these fees are low, and the exchange rate you’re getting is far better.
Taking out investments in Canada is a great way to generate passive income. Real estate is especially popular. Although the 2008 subprime meltdown hit real estate hard, the market has since recovered, now is now a great investment. For a prime location in Toronto, you’ll pay around CAD640,000, which will bring you a big profit. Rental fees in Toronto stand at an average of CAD2,200 every month. This will inevitably lead to regular transfers of sizeable amounts between the two countries.
If you want to transfer from AUD to CAD through your bank, you’re going to pay around CAD12,800 all in all! Using an independent money transfer company is, therefore, the far better option. They will charge an exchange rate markup of around 0.5% or less for a transfer of this size. Compared to the CAD12,800 charged by the banks, paying an FX firm CAD3,200 is a no-brainer.
36,000 Australians live in Canada according to the latest census. This figure includes Canadian-born natives who claim Australian descent. British Columbia is known to be a particularly Australian location, with the ski-town of Whistler dubbed by some as Whistralia. Many young Australians spend time in Canada to gain work experience. Getting a visa for a working holiday is relatively straightforward if you’re under 31. The cost of living in Canada is also considerably less than that of Australia, with rent approximately 34% cheaper. As mentioned, getting a visa for a working holiday is easy. Australians do not need a visa when travelling to Canada to tour. You will need to apply for a work visa if you’re over 31 and plan on staying indefinitely.
There are over 27,000 Canadian citizens living in Australia. Australia has a much warmer climate while having a similar culture to Canada. Young Canadians especially are attracted to Australia, with their work prospects higher than their older counterparts. Canadians do however need a visa to tour Australia, even for less than 3 months. As with Canada, getting a working holiday visa is relatively straightforward if you are under the age of 31. Getting a long term residence visa can take time. Make sure to apply well in advance, and find out if a relative has Australian citizenship.
The AUD is the fifth most traded currency in the world, with the CAD not far behind in seventh place. Over the past 10 years, AUD1 has been able to purchase between CAD0.71 and CAD1.07. The average has been approximately CAD0.95. In recent years, the currencies have maintained near-parity with one another.
Over 36,000 Australians are living in Canada, including Canadian-born natives of Australian descent. Money transfer fees are very significant for these expats, as well as people sending money to their families back home. Banks charge by far the highest rates, causing expats to fork out much of their hard-earned income. On the other hand, Forex firms charge minimal fees, making it more affordable to live and invest as an expat. Many young Canadian citizens move to Australia, for the much warmer climate and job opportunities. With relative stability and near-parity in the AUD/CAD pairing, there should be no problems in transferring from one country to another, and working or investing can be very lucrative.
On the economic side, the two countries work together on a range of areas. But the import-export relationships are one of the most important aspects. As an example, bilateral merchandise trade levels for 2013 were to $3.4 billion with exports to Australia reaching $1.7 billion and imports at $1.8 billion.
There are no restrictions for sending money in and out of Canada. The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (FinTRAC) regulates and monitors all the transfers over CAD 10,000 but that doesn’t mean anything for you, as a sender, because this bureaucracy is handled by the FX companies. Just be sure to choose a FinTRAC regulated money transfer company.
So if you want to send money to Canada for a friend or family as a gift, or a payment for your business associate, be sure to use an international money transfer company that is regulated and offers great exchange rates and small fees. Just like the ones featured at the top of this article.

Hillsong - the church with no answers
"There is no debate within Hillsong," Tanya Levin
says. "That's fundamentalism. It's not open to free thought and
question, not at all."
Photo: Kirk Gilmour
By the miracle of YouTube, we can take a helicopter ride over Sydney any time we like with Pastor Brian Houston as he lays out Hillsong's Vision 2007. In a voice that has coaxed fortunes from the faithful, he talks prosperity, vision, growth and God's strategy as the helicopter swoops down on the "beautiful piece of property" Hillsong bought last year in inner-city Rosebery for $28 million.
"I think the finances are where we're going to have to have the greatest faith."
His confidence is absolute that the mortgage will soon be paid. To a sceptical outsider, Houston looks oddly like Spike Milligan with cans on his ears and a microphone to his mouth as he looks down on the suburbs where Hillsong's "state-of-the-art worship centres" are booming already or will soon be delivering the goods for Christ. He shrugs off ridicule. The nation's most triumphant preacher lives in a world without doubt and without dissent.
"Jesus said a house divided against itself cannot stand," Houston reminds the thousands who have viewed this film clip and left adoring messages behind. ("Please come to Sweden! We need 'fire' here!!!!!!!!!") Authority is a big deal at Hillsong. You don't mess with Brian or his wife, Bobbie. "The great strength of our church has always been our unity. A single vision is critical to where we're going."
So Tanya Levin is a problem. She asks questions. She wants explanations. She challenges the vision of Hillsong's leadership. In short, she's trouble.
Two years into writing People in Glass Houses, her insider's account of Hillsong, she was finally - and literally - shown the door. "There is no debate within Hillsong," she says. "That's fundamentalism. It's not open to free thought and question, not at all."
The church wasn't answering her emails about the book. Houston had ignored her calls. She defied orders not to turn up at the Castle Hill "campus", until the night came when two security guards carried her from the church and "a very tall, handsome Maori man of about 24" called Dion walked her to her car.
"I cried at Dion," she writes. "I told him about my dad, and faithfulness and loyalty whatever kind of Hollywood angel he was dressed as that night, there would come a time when he would outlive the usefulness to the Firm. And then he would lose that simple genuine look he stared at me with. I told him to go home and read his Bible and go ask the preachers why it doesn't match what they say. He listened like one does to the ravings of a lunatic and I made him listen because that's his job."
It was the end of a long affair that began when Levin was 14, the daughter of a banker and his Jewish wife who were brought to God by Billy Graham back in South Africa. The family turned up in the early days of what was to become the behemoth of Hillsong.
"My impressions in September of 1985 were of a bunch of nice people," Levin writes. They waved their hands and spoke in tongues. Houston preached. "Even today," she confesses, "when I hear Brian Houston's voice I feel better."
People in Glass Houses is a naked account of the joys of religious infatuation and the messy business of re-entering the real world as an adult five years down the track.
Levin fitted the Hillsong pattern perfectly: "There is a 50 per cent turnover every five years. Hillsong is renowned for having a very big back door." The churning of people through the church is not something they talk about. "Or they say people don't have the faith to hang on; they're unable to take it through the tough times. It's always the fault of the person. It's never the fault of Hillsong."
But the ties were deep. University and then a child took her away from the Hills for a decade. She returned as a single mother with a job as a social worker in a Salvation Army women's refuge and something more than curiosity about the fate of her old church and the friends she still had there. "I'd go sporadically just to have a look."
Rumours of scandal sharpened her interest. After one hugely popular pastor was expelled in 2001, Levin began asking questions about Brian Houston's father, Frank - a preacher so powerful he was thought to be able to raise the dead - who was being accused on the internet of pedophilia. But Hillsong was in the dark.
Brian and Bobbie won a standing ovation from the congregation when they finally broke the news that old Frank had an unwavering love of God and deeply repented his moral failings. His crimes were not named that day. Levin was furious: "I had a near-irresistible urge to yell out like the boys used to do in the old days, 'What did he DO, Brian?' "
Levin was asking questions again, this time to write this book. Frank was not her target. She set herself the task of explaining the inner workings of the most successful religious operation in Australia: the joy and despair of faith; the mass hypnosis of worship; the Jesus-centric remedies offered in Hillsong's outreach programs for drug addiction, domestic violence, unemployment and homosexuality; the ideological submission of women; and the bleeding of money from the faithful.
Levin's family is among the financial casualties of Hillsong. They're out of the church now after more than 20 years and her mother's sardonic joke is that People in Glass Houses might earn a little of their money back. Hillsong's 19,000 members are expected to tithe - give a 10th of their income to the church - and make big donations on top of that. Levin wrote the book as a warning: "The intention was to tell people, 'Hey, by the way, they're taking your money.' "
A couple of years ago, Brian Houston boasted on ABC television that Hillsong's income for the financial year 2004-2005 was $50 million. It's tax-free, of course. Accounts are never published. Year after year, Hillsong's music arm has albums high in the charts. When All of the Above faded after many months this year, Saviour King took its place. The earnings are enormous but the begging bowl is always out.
"It's a corporate organisation being run by corporately trained people to achieve economic outcomes," Levin says. "Economic outcomes are the new measure of spiritual success and sign of blessing. The fact that Brian Houston is driving a Harley is a sign that God is looking upon him favourably."
For Levin, the core lie of Hillsong is the claim that God will repay everything you give. And the longer you have to wait, the greater the return. "How do you actually stand in front of people and say if you give me your money God will give it back to you - and actually sleep at night when you're taking old people's money? It's obviously the more desperate people who want to make an investment decision like that. Very vulnerable people."
Four or five years ago Levin typed "ex born again Christian" into Google and found that "from Sweden to Nevada and back again there were people with the same story". They are welcomed into a small, warm, friendly congregation with one or two charismatic preachers. But a few years later they're out the door: "Kicked out and told they are the work of the devil."
That early friendliness is part of the big sell. "They don't preach against much. There's a new movement that's come through America called Seeker Sensitive - in other words we want people who come into our church to feel comfortable. And we want to be sensitive to their needs. So we won't say anything too outrageous and we'll tone the whole thing down."
But tough rules - often about sex - are waiting to be enforced. "Painted into a corner, they're explicitly homophobic, but up to that point they don't want to be seen as an unfriendly, judgmental place. They want to be seen as warm, inclusive, loving, embracing. But they're not. They are of their own kind: if you're in the system and you behave accordingly, the system will reward you."
Levin thought that with so many casualties of the system around, writing the book would be easy. "What I found - and what other media have found - is that it's almost impossible to get other people to come forward and talk about this. People will write things on websites, they will send emails: 'I've been through this, I've done this, I can help you, I know these things, I am the voice of expertise.' Then they disappear again because it's too painful and it's too confrontational."
Hillsong won't comment on the result.
"We have no control over what people decide to say and write," Brian Houston says. "We keep our focus on helping people with hope in Jesus Christ."
But Levin has a fair idea what they're thinking out in the Hills. "Bobbie Houston announced at the Colour Your World conference in 2005 that there the only three types of media about Hillsong. They are the positive, the neutral and the anti-Christ."
Levin doesn't fit that picture. She doesn't hate. Something in her seems to yearn for those exhilarating years fighting the good fight against the devil in all his disguises right down to the voodoo beat of rock'n'roll. "We were told you can't have it because it's incantation and you're going to raise all these demons." How different things are now. Levin begins to sing some Hillsong Christian trance music: "Doof, doof, doof. Christ is the future. Doof doof doof "
Is she entirely free of the place? If Houston rang today and asked her to dinner, would she go?
"Yes, very much so. My main aim is to keep the dialogue open. To encourage questions. To encourage debate. And when somebody or a group of people make you feel like family for a number of years, it's difficult to shake that feeling even when reality tells you something different, and when relationships break down. Go do dinner with Brian?" She laughs. "It would be nice."
A fallen leader of faith
FRANK HOUSTON was a charismatic preacher and a sick man. He won famous souls for Hillsong - jockey Darren Beadman was one of his scalps - and sexually abused young men.
He was about 60 when he undertook to cure 23-year-old Peter Laughton's homosexuality. "My counselling sessions by the senior minister were nothing more than sexual abuse disguised in the form of the need of a father's love and discipline," Laughton says. "Through my naivety, I endured the naked beatings, the eternal bum caresses and masturbating into bottles, among other things."
Laughton was training to be a pastor. He says the abuse continued for about four years until 1984. "I look at it now and think, 'God, I was really naive to fall for that.' " And believing himself cured, he married.
Laughton's faith went first. He tells the Herald that before leaving the church in the early 1990s he gave an account to another pastor of the abusive therapy he'd received. But as far as Laughton is aware, no action was taken against the old man until he was forced into retirement by his son Brian after an allegation of pedophilia emerged in about 2000.
Houston denies categorically knowing of any claims of sexual abuse by his father before this time. He initiated a church investigation, which saw the old preacher's credentials permanently removed. "I was completely devastated by the realisation that my father had hurt people in this way, and I believed it related to events more than 30 years before when he was a New Zealand credentialled pastor. Until recently I knew nothing of Peter's claims."
Laughton took a long time to come to grips with his sexuality. He's now a university lecturer in his early 50s who finds it in himself to forgive Frank Houston. "Despite all his downfallings I think he was genuinely a good person. It is an important part but it still is only one aspect of a person's life. I've come through the other side and appreciated how this man was trapped like many of us were in a system and in a place where you couldn't really even talk about what you were struggling with."
Burying his father in 2004, Houston declared him a man who made mistakes but a preacher "in a class of his own".

Background: Antimicrobial resistance continues to be a global issue in healthcare organisations. Honey has long been shown to possess wound healing and antimicrobial properties that are dependent on a number of physical and chemical properties of the honey. We tested the antimicrobial activity of a medicinal honey, Surgihoney® (SH) and two prototype modified honeys made by Apis mellifera (honeybee) against Staphylococcus aureus (NCIMB 9518). We also examined the modified honey prototypes for the ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) by changing the level of production of hydrogen peroxide from the samples.
Methods: Surgihoney® (SH) was compared with two modified honeys, Prototype 1 (PT1) and Prototype 2 (PT2) using a bioassay method against a standard strain of Staphylococcus aureus. Further work studied the rate of generation of ROS hydrogen peroxide from these preparations.
Results: Surgihoney® antimicrobial activity was shown to be largely due to ROS hydrogen peroxide production. By modification of Surgihoney®, two more potent honey prototypes were shown to generate between a two- and three-fold greater antibacterial activity and up to ten times greater ROS peroxide activity.
Conclusions: Surgihoney® is a clinically available wound antiseptic dressing that shows good antimicrobial activity. Two further honey prototypes have been shown to have antimicrobial activity that is possible to be enhanced due to demonstrated increases in ROS peroxide activity. | <urn:uuid:89ecda54-c3c0-42f7-99df-c809ee8a7d3c> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25627827/ | 2022-12-03T06:17:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710924.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20221203043643-20221203073643-00406.warc.gz | en | 0.926603 | 315 |

I’m an avid user of Reddit and I find myself there often just browsing for fun. I read the dad jokes and look at the meme’s. I get involved with a bunch of different threads. I do this as a leisure activity and I normally don’t think of writing an article when there, but recently I came across a newly released Android puzzle game that I just felt the urge to write about.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!
I need you help please.
I run a page called Little Miss Modette on facebook and since moving from Norfolk to Southampton to study engineering at university my page has been rather quiet.
Being new to the area I have not yet found the local scooter or soul club so have not had much to post about.
If you have any up coming events, own a shop, band/radio station or scooter or just have something in general that is interesting please contact me or share to my page.
Even if you just check my page out and have any ideas on how I can improve it your help would be much appreciated.
Being a young Modette myself I like to keep in the loop about anything Mod, Scooter or Soul related and since moving I feel very isolated until I find some people with similar interests.
I'd love to see some interaction with my page and some really interesting posts being added, it has been far to quiet for my liking lately.
So any ideas or help in any way will be really appreciated.

The most important decision you can make regarding the future of your company is choosing the right team to build your software or website.
In these times successful companies know the importance of information technology, in all of its forms, to their infrastructure. They understand the importance of creating a synergy between their enterprise software and their website (the company's public face in this new millenium) and are prepared to choose a competent provider of software development and web design services to 'make it happen'.
Why do our clients appreciate the Step Ahead Software experience?
We have been using object oriented, industry proven software development methods since the early 90s. As the technology matures our engineers keep up to date so that we can provide the developer productivity and robust, quality end results that our savvy customers demand.
We live, eat and breath object oriented development since the early C++ days right up to today with Java and .Net - we don't only develop object oriented software we also have created productivity tools and provided mentoring and training in this area. We know our stuff.
Recent developments in web development frameworks and technologies mean that the improvement in quality, robustness, development efficiency and cost savings that object oriented technology brought to the software world can now be applied to the web development world. We make sure we keep up to speed with only the most efficient tools and technologies to make sure our clients get the best quality result at a price that is usually less than what our competitors charge for lower quality, expensive to maintain, solutions.
Why so much focus on object oriented technology?
Object oriented technology enables clever software engineers and web developers to create code that is more modular, smaller and less complex than traditional methods. Less complex software means less bugs and code that is less likely to break when changes or enhancements are made. Well designed object oriented software will facilitate easy expansion to add new features and enhancements and makes it significantly easier to 'reuse' existing code rather than duplicate or write from scratch. All these benefits result in a higher quality, more robust end result for our clients and a significantly reduced total cost of ownership over the lifetime of the project.
Off the shelf pluggable modules - why reinvent the wheel?
We can draw on our library of reusable enterprise functionality modules that we have developed in house over the years which makes it possible for us to build applications for clients within a shorter time frame and at a very competitive price. Canon awarded us a contract over another company because of one of our reusable components cut the development time by about 50%. Some of the reusable components that we use to provide fast turn around on new projects are:
- User management: A framework that facilities management and authentication of users of your system. Includes all the usual requirements for a website or desktop application that requires authenticated access plus facilitates communication amongst users of the system.
- Product management: A framework that provides the management of all details related to products within the framework of a product catalog that can have categories nested to any depth required. A gallery of images is supported for each product and category.
- Workflow management: This framework facilitates the management of workflows within an enterprise to enable automation of many of the laborious management tasks that are performed by humans. Workflow allows us to save your company both time and money.
- Visual interactive diagramming: Our advanced visual interactive diagramming framework allows us to quickly and easily create a visually oriented application that displays iconic representations of the entities relevent to the application and allow users to create and manage the relationships between them.
We can provide fixed price development for well specified applications or we can work with you to produce a detailed specification or we can work on a time and materials basis. In any case, if you choose to engage our services you will discover our attitude, professionalism and friendliness will make for an excellent working relationship into the future.
Software is no longer just a commodity you buy, purchase, acquire or lease - it's the lifeblood of any modern organization
Smart, successful companies in these rapidly progressing times see software as an investment in the future of their company. They don't see software or their website as just 'something they buy'. They see it as something that helps define who they are. The quality and appearance of a website is the modern day equivalent of a big city office with shiny glass windows and your name over the entrance.
Who is Step Ahead Software?
Step Ahead Software is based in Sydney, NSW, Australia and provides software and web development services to both local and international companies.

Pixxel raises $25 million for hyperspectral imaging constellation
TAMPA, Fla. — Indian startup Pixxel said March 28 it has raised $25 million for a hyperspectral imaging constellation that plans to deploy its first satellite this week.
Canadian early-stage investor Radical Ventures led the Series A round, bringing Pixxel’s total funding to $33 million to date.
Awais Ahmed, Pixxel’s CEO and co-founder, said proceeds will support plans to launch two satellites this year and six in early 2023 for the constellation.
The startup aims to provide five-meter resolution imagery across 150 spectrum bands for agriculture, energy and other markets it believes are hungry for more data-rich Earth imagery.
Earth observation companies have historically struggled to find compelling uses for hyperspectral services among commercial customers.
However, multiple startups have been created in recent years with hopes of using reduced small satellite costs to realize new commercial markets for hyperspectral imagery, which has traditionally focused on defense.
Capacity is now the biggest constraint for Californian hyperspectral imaging startup Orbital Sidekick, its CEO Daniel Katz recently told SpaceNews.
Mining giant Rio Tinto said Jan. 13 it plans to use Pixxel’s data to see if it is useful for identifying mineral resources and monitoring its operations.
Ahmed said the first iteration of the camera Pixxel plans to use for its services launched last year through a hosted payload partnership with Lithuanian satellite maker NanoAvionics.
He said a second iteration of the camera is onboard its first satellite that is slated to launch on a Falcon 9 rocket April 1, as part of SpaceX’s Transporter-4 rideshare mission that aims to launch a total 40 spacecraft.
Pixxel has plans to launch a second satellite “soon” aboard an Indian PSLV rocket.
The six satellites slated to launch next year “will be more capable, higher resolution, more collection capacity” and have longer operational lives, he said via email.
Pixxel had planned to have 30 satellites in orbit by the middle of 2023 but this has been delayed to the end of 2024.
“Not dissimilar to other space companies, COVID supply chain issues have pushed out the timeline a bit,” Ahmed said in an email.
He said “Pixxel designs, integrates and tests the satellites completely in-house” using parts from international suppliers including South African small satellite specialist Dragonfly Aerospace, which is building its cameras.
Ultimately, he said Pixxel hopes to leverage India’s supply chain to bring down costs.
Early-stage investors Jordan Noone, Seraphim Space Investment Trust Plc, Lightspeed Partners, Blume Ventures and Sparta LLC also participated in Pixxel’s Series A funding round. | <urn:uuid:1d4883b0-f851-4d4f-8fdc-908225d4c57b> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://spacenews.com/pixxel-raises-25-million-for-hyperspectral-imaging-constellation/ | 2022-06-30T20:10:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103877410.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220630183616-20220630213616-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.92697 | 593 |
My grandparents, Julia Debreceni and Ben Daku, were the first generation of my mother's family to be born in Canada. Their grandparents and parents immigrated to Canada in 1902 and 1903, settling in the R.M. of Hazelwood in southern Saskatchewan, in a colony that the founders had dubbed Bekevar, the "fortress of peace".
To again touch on their reasons for leaving Hungary: by 1900, Hungary had been gripped in an industrial revolution for the last few decades. While rapid modernization improved standards of living, it also created a population boom, resulting in a sharp increase in the price of land. For my agrarian ancestors, this was a crisis as it meant that their children might need to adopt new trades and move away to crowded urban centers for work.
Worse, there were rumors of war. According to my great-grandfather, Alex Daku:
“Farmers used to call in (to my father’s bootmaker’s workshop) to discuss politics and other public affairs. It was there that I heard, for the first time, about the brilliance of Louis Kossuth, the rest of the heroes of the War of Independence, and its events. It was there that I was first told by the pious peasants that war was in the offing. In the first instance, because very many young men had been called up and secondly, because Louis Kossuth had returned from Italy in disguise, in order to visit every community and call upon the people to rise again and fight for freedom.”
In times of war or nationalist unrest, Hungarian men were drafted to serve in the Austro-Hungarian Imperial army for 3 years, with a 10 year obligation to the reserves. While war did not erupt for several more years, it was bigger and more devastating than anyone could have imagined. In the face of these tensions, four different families, the Dakus, Debrecenis, Fonagys, and Dakus, each made the decision to depart Hungary, following the siren call to America.
Yes, I wrote Dakus twice. Both Daku families were from the same village so likely related but it was distant enough that they didn't know how.
Most Hungarians migrants settled in the United States, often finding manufacturing jobs in the booming northeast or midwest. but my ancestors were determined to remain farmers. After reading the letters from their sons abroad, they decided to migrate to Saskatchewan, where 160 acres could be had for only $10. They had made their choice but now they faced the logistical and financial challenges of transplanting their families.
My family were craftsmen as well as farmers, so they likely earned at least 800 forints per year, which was two or three times the wages of a peasant farmer. Train tickets to Hamburg could cost the family over 100 forints and the passage across the Atlantic might cost 500 to 800 forints, depending whether they travelled 2nd class or steerage.
They would also need to cover the cost of food and shelter on their journey, as well as the train trip out to Saskatchewan, which could cost over 200 forints for a 2nd class sleeper car or half that for a colonist car. Once at their new homes, they would face barren grasslands, with no seed, plows, horses, houses, stores, or even lumber with which to build anything. The nearest town would be over a hundred miles away so everything would need to be imported by rail, which would cost yet more money.
Of course, since the entire family was emigrating, these expenses were largely covered by the sale of the family farm and non-transportable belongings. Letters from those who went ahead advised them to travel light, since many tools or goods would be taxed on arriving in North America and it was relatively inexpensive to replace them. They would leave everything behind in order to build anew.
The next section discusses the journies of each of my four sets of 2x great grandparents: Fonagy, Daku, Debreczeni, and Daku.
It was a day in early spring when my grandfather's maternal grandparents, Fónagy József and Szántó Zsófia, and their two daughters, Borbála, 5, and Maria, 3, departed the village of Tornyospálca. The weather was cool but little snow would have still been on the ground. They walked the few miles up the dirt road to the railroad station, possibly pulling their suitcases and trunks behind them on a handcart, to board the steam locomotive for the nine-hour trip to Keleti railway station in Budapest.
Note: you may have noticed that I'm using the Magyar names. Not only does Barbara become Borbála and Ben become Bálint but the surname comes first and the given name second. When I write their western names, I put each in the "correct" order.
Rail lines from Budapest ran west to Vienna and Paris but we don't know which the Fonagys took. Regardless, they eventually made their way to the coast, where they took passage to Liverpool, England. While this appears to be an unusual city for Hungarians to depart for America, it's possible that agents working for the shipping lines were advertising in Hungary and the Fonagys selected them, possibly based on price.
On April 1st, 1902, the family boarded the S/S Lake Ontario, a 392 foot long steamship owned by the Beaver line, which would carry 1166 passengers on this trip: 891 adults, 221 children, and 84 infants.
Their fellow emigrants were mostly farmers of German, Polish, Hungarian, Ukrainian and other Eastern European ethnicity. The voyage delivered them to St. John, New Brunswick, from where they would have departed for Saskatchewan by rail soon after.
My grandmother's maternal grandparents, Daku András and Kaponyás Terézia, and their children, András, 14, Lajos, 9, and Luiza, 3, departed Bezdéd about the same time as the Fonagys left Tornyospálca, in the early spring of 1902. Bezdéd was only a few short miles from Tornyospálca so it's likely they knew of the departure of the Fonagys and other families to Bekevar.
Their two eldest sons had already went on ahead to America. Sándor had arrived in New York first, on March 4th, 1901, where he stayed with some cousins for a short time, then moved to Pennsylvania. His younger brother, Elek, arrived in New York City on September 20th, 1901. The brothers wrote home favourably about the prospects for work in the United States but they soon received a letter from their parents asking them to rejoin the family in Saskatchewan.
Although the Dakus had decided on Bekevar, they still followed in their son's footsteps, taking the train to Hamburg, Germany, a busy port city, and popular point of departure for many emigrants to the new world.
The Dakus boarded the S/S Armenia on May 31st, 1902, a 399 foot long steamship of the Hamburg-American line.
The least expensive option, steerage meant sleeping and living in a common area, with no separate cabins for sleeping, eating, or recreating. The families, single men, and single women were all segregated from each other to reduce some stress but it was still tight quarters with little privacy. Fortunately, passengers could take a turn on deck but even their deck space was limited, with 1st and 2nd class passengers getting the lion's share.
The ship was to carry 1097 passengers to Halifax, Nova Scotia: 761 adults, 254 children, and 82 infants. The passengers were mostly farmers and laborers from Ungarn (Hungary), Österreich (Austria), and Russland (Russia). Interestingly, berthed with the Dakus were two widows from Bezdéd and nearby Zahony, each with a lone child, both of whom would settle in New York City.
My grandmother's uncle, Debreczeni Petér, was the first of her paternal family to arrive in North America. Departing from Hamburg, Germany on August 13th, 1902, he arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Like Sándor and Elek Daku, he was likely scouting out locations for the family's resettlement in America and Canada so perhaps he was the one who learned of the colony and wrote home about it to his parents.
My grandmother's paternal grandparents, Debreczeni József and Jonás Juliánna, with their children, Maria, 18, Lorincz, 9, and Pal, 5, departed Karcag, in central Hungary, six months later. While all my other Hungarian ancestors lived in a small cluster of farming villages and certainly knew each other, perhaps even planned their resettlement together, the Debreczenis were part of another wave of immigration.
In Bekevar, the Debreczenis would be known as the wealthy Hungarians and they described themselves as businessmen, rather than farmers, so perhaps they traveled a bit more comfortably than most. However, like the Dakus, they took the train to Hamburg, Germany.
On March 7th, 1903, the Debreczeni family boarded the S/S Pretoria for a 2nd class cabin, a 560 foot steamship bound for New York City. Since they sailed to New York rather than directly to Canada, the family may have purchased their tickets months ago, before they had made their final decision.
Travelling in 2nd class meant the Debreczenis would have their own sleeping cabin, as well as a dining saloon and smoking room, a much more comfortable way to travel. The family would arrive in New York on March 23rd, 1903, where they were likely examined aboard the ship, avoiding transport to Ellis Island and the long queues to await examination and processing. Unless something drew the examiner's attention, they would have just strolled down the gangplank into New York.
Also migrating to Canada from Bezdéd in 1903 were my grandfather's paternal grandparents, Daku Károly and Veres Erzsébet, along with their children, Bálint, 16, Károly Jr, 11, and Bernát, 3. Although, I can find no record of their journey, there are records of Károly's older brother, János, moving to New York City, where his descendants still live today.
All of my family would have then had to make their way west by rail.
The Dakus and Fonagys may have made the week long journey in a colonist car, sitting on the rowed bench seat, taking turns sleeping on the fold out bunks in the back, using the two toilets, or cooking on the single stove. The Debreczenis, of course, likely travelled in their own cabin, with their own toilet, eating in a separate dining car. Fortunately, they all took the trip in the spring, when it was not too hot or too cold.
After days of viewing the picturesque forests and lakes of Ontario and Manitoba, the last leg of their journey greeted them with what must have seemed to be endless, empty grasslands, except for a few small towns and NWMP posts.
Eventually, they arrived in Regina, a "city" of 3,000 people, many times smaller than town of Karcag, although it would grow tenfold in the next decade. It was there that they applied for their homesteads and received their 160 acres for every man over eighteen. Of course, there were the following conditions:
Their new land was covered with stones and scraggly bush with sloughs that filled with rainwater and made the surrounding land swampy. Earlier Hungarian settlers would have occupied the area a couple years earlier and could have assisted them in marking their land and heading back to Regina document the claim.
To build homes, they hauled logs from the woods around Kenosee Lake, cut them to size and mortared them together. The book Peace and Strife by Martin Kovacs describes the house: "The chinks between the logs were plugged with a mixture of clay-mud, prairie wool, and hay. After the mud portions had dried out, in a few days, sod-squares were placed on poplar poles with hay in between the two layers. As the prevailing weather of those first years tended to be wet, the Szabos and the other early settlers had to undergo the experience of dripping roofs, wet bedding, and general dampness inside their houses."
Within few years, the Hungarians would set to work building better homes, though. All except my Debreczeni 2x great grandparents, of course. They would purchase a mail order house. | <urn:uuid:50c273a4-6666-4288-9670-4bb8ed844a4b> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.family-heritage.org/blog/magyar-migrations | 2019-04-19T01:27:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578526923.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20190419001419-20190419023419-00470.warc.gz | en | 0.982939 | 2,699 |
New Software Helps Analyze Writing Disabilities
Source: Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne
Summary: Researchers have developed a software program that can analyze these children’s writing disabilities and their causes with unparalleled precision.
Writing is an essential skill for schoolchildren, but it requires an adroit combination of careful concentration, well-developed motor skills, and good language comprehension – something that not all children possess. Trouble learning how to write, called dysgraphia, affects some 10% of schoolchildren. This learning disability is often associated with dyslexia and can appear in children to varying degrees, with causes that can differ from one child to the next. A team of researchers at EPFL’s Computer-Human Interaction in Learning and Instruction Laboratory (CHILI) has developed software that enables doctors to make highly detailed, personalized assessments of this disability and to accurately identify the letters and numbers that are most difficult and are thus the most discriminative. The study findings were published in the journal Nature Digital Medicine.
The test developed at EPFL, called Tegami, which is run using a tablet computer, represents a major step forward in terms of analytical precision and accuracy of input. It was developed from a database of writing samples from 300 children, around 25% of whom suffered from dysgraphia. The program was able to detect the learning disability 98% of the time. The big advantage of Tegami is that it can help pinpoint the cause of a child’s dysgraphia because it analyzes no fewer than 53 different characteristics of a child’s writing, which are measured up to 200 times per second. These characteristics include the angle of the pen, the amount of pressure the child applies to the tablet, how fast the child writes and any changes in that speed, whether the child’s hand trembles and if so, with what frequency, and which letters or characters are most discriminative.
The EPFL researchers are now working with psychomotor therapists and speech therapists to outline remedial measures; for example, if a child shows too much variation in the pressure he puts on his pen, his doctor can prescribe motor-skill exercises.

Prime Minister Theresa May is launching a consultation on proposed changes to parental...read more
The Civil Service has just published two major reports on diversity and women as part of a move towards becoming one of the “most female-friendly employers in the country”.
The Talent Action Plan aims to ensure the service is a place where “the most talented people succeed and reach the top positions, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or disability”.
It was published at the same time as the Women in Whitehall: culture, leadership, talent report, the first of four reports to look at different aspects of the diversity issue which the Talent Action Plan acknowledges cannot be dealt with using a one-size-fits-all approach. Reports on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff; those who declare they are from a minority ethnic background and those who declare a disability will follow.
The Talent Action Plan proposes that all-male shortlists for senior positions and all-male selection panels will only be allowed in exceptional circumstances; that all departments nominate board-level diversity champions; that all Permanent Secretaries and Directors-General mentor one or more junior employees; and that action be taken to provide women with more tailored support before, during and after maternity leave. It also talks about making the Civil Service an “exemplar” employer on shared parental leave when it comes in next year and says it will pay Shared Parental Leave at the same occupational rate as maternity leave across the whole Civil Service.
Women account for 53% of Civil Service employees [up from 48.6% in 1998] and almost 40% of senior appointments, but only a third of the top management posts, with the gender pay gap of 4.9% reflecting this.
Representation across gender, race and disability has increased over the last 15 years, with 9.6% declaring a minority ethnic background [up from 5.7% in 1998] and 8.6% declaring a disability [up from 4.1% in 1998]; and some Civil Service departments are recognised by Stonewall as amongst the most lesbian and gay-friendly workplaces in the UK. Some 8.8% of Fast Streamers are women and 11.6% declare a minority ethnic background. On the Fast Track Apprenticeship programme, 43% are women and 16% declare a minority ethnic background.
However, the Service recognises that it needs to do more, particularly on career progression, and that a target-focused approach has only had limited success because it does not address underlying problems.
To ensure success, the report says co-ordinated action from the centre is needed to bring together good practice in different departments. It recommends strong leadership at all levels which is dedicated to diversity, with the centre holding departmental leaders to account for delivering change. It calls for the publication of a single leadership statement that sets out the behaviours expected of leaders, who will be trained accordingly. The report says performance will be monitored via 360 degree feedback that is “rigorous, objective, professional and systematic”.
It calls for the creation of board-level diversity champions to drive change. They will be expected to challenge the status quo and represent diversity issues at board level. They will also be able to bid for funds to cover the costs of research into priority problems – particularly where there are concerns over diversity at senior levels.
Permanent secretaries will be given personal responsibility for ensuring “the most talented, irrespective of background, reach the most senior levels of their organisations” and will have to prepare “a clear and proactive plan for sustainable improvement” with their chief executives.
The report also recommends creating an inclusive culture which supports flexible working, making greater use of the expertise of non-executive directors, for instance, as mentors, making diversity and inclusion learning part of any formal induction process for all civil servants, monitoring and acting on best practice and promoting coaching and mentoring.
Maternity leave and career breaks
There is a section on maternity leave and career breaks. The report recommends more tailored support for women before, during and after maternity leave, including the chance to agree a keeping in touch and development plan before they go on leave that identifies the development they need to reach their career goals. The plan would be reviewed and refreshed while they were on leave. Keeping in Touch days could also be used more flexibly, for instance to take forward short-term, strategic projects.
Women who take longer career breaks would be offered a continuing twice-yearly opportunity to discuss their evolving career plans with an HR and talent professional. This would include an assessment of their aspirations, skills and development needs. On return to the Civil Service, they would be matched with a ‘buddy’ from relevant networking groups to help them re-establish connections across their department and the Civil Service more widely. The report also proposes that women be asked to fill in a questionnaire on return from maternity leave on their views of their experience and their department’s management of their maternity leave.
The Talent Action Plan was prepared taking into account the findings of The Women in Whitehall report. This says that, while Civil Service policies are in line with best practice, many people, particularly women, “do not believe that rhetoric matches reality” and that this leads many women, despite being just as ambitious as men, to opt out. It concludes that “organisational performance is being held back by a leadership climate in which some groups of staff are unconsciously discriminated against” and that management of leadership and talent was “something of a lottery rather than a core part of everyone’s job”.
The report states: “In essence, we found that the culture and leadership climate are preventing talented women from progressing into more senior roles. When combined with current pay constraints this means that the talent pool from which leaders can recruit is significantly smaller than it could be which, in turn, will be constraining performance.”.
It talks about how Senior Civil Service culture is described by many as “a bear pit”, how women feel that there is a lack of role models with whom they can identify and how 100% of the focus group consulted for the report mentioned work life balance as a concern.
The report makes several recommendations, including the communication of a clear vision and clear values for the Top 100, dealing with variable talent management skills, publishing data on gender diversity to drive reform, clarifying accountability for leadership behaviour and developing more positive action initiatives for women.
Next year, the Civil Service plans to publish a revised talent strategy, once the recommendations from the other three reports are known. | <urn:uuid:e0df6f11-bf0b-4859-bf7c-cf08b0eb2bf3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.workingmums.co.uk/new-diversity-plans-for-the-civil-service/ | 2019-07-19T19:29:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526337.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719182214-20190719204214-00245.warc.gz | en | 0.963342 | 1,353 |
Cuisine: Stylized, regionally specific Indian cooking. Chef Vikram Sunderam, late of London’s Bombay Brasserie, is behind the artful, often incendiary plates.
Mood: Crystal-bead curtains catch the light in this sleek jewel box of a room done up in saffron, red, and onionskin brown. Though the dining room is separate from the bar, when the beautiful people gather three deep for Spicy Queen martinis, noise travels.
Best for: Cocktails or dinner before or after a show at the Shakespeare Theatre and trendoids who love Indian food.
Best dishes: Pungent eggplant mellowed with peanut sauce; ragda patties, mini-towers of potato, chickpeas, and tamarind-date chutney; delicately spiced lobster masala; wild-boar vindaloo, a shank on a fiery red sauce of Kashmiri chilis; chocolate-filled samosa—get it with a bowl of house-made ice cream.
Insider tips: The wine list is extraordinary for an Indian restaurant, so hail the sommelier. There are several special menus: a three-course pretheater menu for $28, a four-course tasting menu for $55 (a vegetarian version is $36), and a six-course chef’s table, $75. All are available with wine pairings. | <urn:uuid:4bbeb69a-7e86-4f9d-9b32-09c766968faf> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.washingtonian.com/restaurantreviews/100-best-restaurants-2008-rasika.php | 2015-01-25T23:28:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115891802.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161131-00102-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.824335 | 295 |

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, popularly also known as Babasaheb, was an Indian jurist, political leader, philosopher, anthropologist, historian, orator, economist, teacher, and editor. He was also the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of Indian Constitution. In 2012 he was chosen greatest Indian in a nationwide poll held by History TV and CNN-IBN.
Overcoming numerous social and financial obstacles, Ambedkar became one of the first Dalit (untouchable) to obtain a college education in India. Eventually earning law degree and doctorates for his study and research in law, economics and political science from Columbia University and the London School of Economics, Ambedkar gained a reputation as a scholar and practiced law for a few years, later campaigning by publishing journals advocating political rights and social freedom for India's untouchables. Mahatma Gandhi and Ambedkar often clashed because Ambedkar sought to remove the Dalits out of the Hindu community, while Gandhi tried to save Hinduism by exorcising untouchability. Ambedkar complained that Gandhi moved too slowly, while Hindu traditionalists said Gandhi was a dangerous radical who rejected scripture. Guha noted in 2012 that, "Ideologues have carried these old rivalries into the present, with the demonization of Gandhi now common among politicians who presume to speak in Ambedkar’s name." Guha adds that their work complemented each other, and Gandhi often praised Ambedkar.

Auditor Of Public Accounts
State Auditor Crit Luallen Releases Audit of Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center
State Auditor Crit Luallen released an audit of the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center Corporation in Pikeville, Kentucky. The audit covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. The Kentucky General Assembly, as part of the Center’s enabling legislation, mandated an annual audit of the Corporation.
The audit found that the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center Corporation cannot continue to operate with the current financial structure. During the fiscal year of the audit, expenses for the exposition center were $1,673,841. However, recurring revenues were $887,995, resulting in a shortfall of $785,846. The deficit was covered using interest earned on the funds the General Assembly appropriated for construction.
A deficit is anticipated during the current fiscal year. However, the Corporation plans to cover this deficit by the remaining interest from the construction funds and $250,000 in coal severance money appropriated by Pike County Fiscal Court. While these funds have been found to address short-term cash flow needs, they are not a recurring revenue source and will not meet the Corporation’s long-term, on-going budgetary requirements. Based on the current contractual management agreement, projected revenues, and interviews with management, the corporation’s ledger cannot be balanced on an ongoing basis.
“The Auditor’s Office recognizes improvements being made by the Corporation and its management contractor, SMG. However, this audit shows the facility cannot continue to operate with the current financial structure. Local, community, regional, and state policy makers should be aware so they can work together for long-term solutions,” State Auditor Crit Luallen said. | <urn:uuid:5ae83dbb-73d0-47a2-aba6-e8d8492f23cc> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://migration.kentucky.gov/newsroom/auditor/2006+EKECC.htm | 2017-07-21T08:44:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549423764.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20170721082219-20170721102219-00507.warc.gz | en | 0.942983 | 353 |
Two Sydney filmmakers are behind a spoof campaign that aims to raise $2m for ‘unknown’ filmmakers.
The campaign is calling on Scrubs’ Zach Braff to post a photo of himself on social media wearing one of the campaign’s T-shirts bearing the slogan ‘I’m not Zach Braff’.
The aim of the campaign, which is inspired by recent successful celebrity-fuelled crowd-funded campaigns, is to establish an audience-based platform that will discover, fund and then host short film projects from around the world. Audience members will vote on the projects, deciding which films get a share of the $2m.
Filmmakers Craig Foster and Emma McKenna are behind the campaign, called ‘You’ve Never Heard of Me’.
Foster said: “The reasoning behind our slogan ‘I’m not Zach Braff’ is simple – we are taking a satire approach and making a statement for ‘non-celebrities’ in the film industry.
“We have great respect for stars like Zach Braff and Kirsten Bell and their successful film campaigns, so we are going to do the same thing, but this time support all the unknown film makers out there.
“We decided to use our weakness – our complete and total obscurity – as our strength. We’re celebrating non-celebrities by rewarding contributors with ‘You’ve Never Heard of Me’ and ‘I’m not Zach Braff’ merchandise and we’re giving money back to the emerging filmmaker community.”
All campaign contributors who donate more than $25 will have the chance to be part of the first round of project votes. | <urn:uuid:32394313-c457-4577-8cd4-b530bdf1392c> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://www.bandt.com.au/uncategorised/None-of-us-are-Zach-Braff | 2018-10-21T17:19:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583514162.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20181021161035-20181021182535-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.935847 | 367 |

Who would believe that in the 21st century in a seemingly affluent town like Southport that food banks would be relied on by thousands of households? During my visit I was told that more than 20,000 meals were distributed last year from this food bank alone, and remember Southport has three of these. I was also informed by the brilliant volunteers there that more and more working families are finding it necessary to turn to food banks as low wages, benefit cuts and high energy bills take their toll on household budgets. There's also an increase in elderly people finding it hard to make ends meet who are having to use the food bank. The foodbank are aware that there are many elderly people in the town who need the foodbank but aren't aware of how to access it. I'd urge anyone who knows a family member or neighbour who is in dire need of the foodbank to encourage them to apply for a voucher from the CAB.
We want to help make it easier for people who want to contribute to our local food banks by making our new office a collection point. Southport food banks would particularly benefit from donations of long life fruit juice, tinned meat and tinned tuna. They are also particularly short of all sizes of nappies. People who are struggling to feed themselves also struggle to buy basic toiletries such as toothpaste and sanitary products. I hope as many people as possible can help".

(Frisco, TX, USA)
So, I've been enjoying the liberal phase I for almost a week now.
I'm on day 5 and excited to keep going.
For me, this is a "get healthy" plan, more than a "weight loss" plan.
That said, I have been keeping an eye on the scale and it's holding steady.
Do you think weight loss SHOULD be seen in the first week?
I definitely have weight to lose.
Maybe I should cut out the cheese?

As another exciting class module begins, I would like to offer you, our PCI students, my ABC’s of PCI success. I have seen all of you learn and grow in your programs, some jumping right in and some a little slower to build up momentum, but all of you developing into the ideal candidate for a future employer in your own ways. So, as they say, “easy as ABC,” here are the steps to PCI student success:
A – Ask!
I cannot stress enough how important it is to ask for whatever it is you need. Do you need help navigating Canvas? Are you stuck on a particular formula? Can’t remember if the hip bone really connects to the thigh bone? All of the staff, instructors, and even your fellow students here at PCI are here for you. We are a community of people working to build each other up and see each other succeed! If you need help with an assignment, career placement, uploading an assignment, even finding a ride to class… all you have to do is ASK!
If you attend PCI, I am going to make a safe assumption that you are balancing something. Whether it’s home life, a job or three, a family, or free time, you need to learn to balance it! Set aside time for homework! Plan out and schedule your school work during a time you know you will be able to focus. If you need to wait until kids go to bed, work is over, your favorite show has aired, or you finally folded all that laundry you’ve been putting off, that’s great! At least you know exactly when you’re going to sit down and get it done. Having trouble balancing? Reach out! As your Student Services Coordinator, I would be more than happy to sit down with you and help you work out a plan to rock it out! Again, we are here to serve you and help you be successful!
If you’re feeling stuck, sad, frustrated, or downright angry about your coursework, remember how much courage it took to take the leap. You may not have known if you could pull this off, but here you are! Making a change in your life takes courage, whether it feels that way or not. All of us at PCI are your cheerleaders, coaches, and confidants! We are so excited that you are here and always want you to remember that YOU did this. You are here because you had the courage to start, and you will be successful because you had the courage to finish.
Thank you for being a student at PCI. We are over the moon that you chose us, and cannot wait to be here to support you when you graduate and beyond. Remember, please reach out if you need help, work to balance your life to achieve all your goals, and keep in mind how courageous this next chapter in your life is. As always, reach out to me if you need ANYTHING, even if it has nothing to do with your online classroom J | <urn:uuid:6a921198-49ab-488c-b93c-57125deeaf07> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.pcitraining.edu/blog/abcs-of-student-success | 2019-07-19T05:40:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526064.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719053856-20190719075856-00104.warc.gz | en | 0.969159 | 623 |

David Ethan Graham - Professional Climber, Loner Gypsy, Cult-Sci-Fi Fanatic, Laptop Beat Maker, Nocturnal Tweaker; formerly of Portland, Maine
The hard-climbing icon Dave Graham, 26, is manic, tweaky, and opinionated. He’s also best understood in person and in his element — with friends and at the rocks, where you’ll find him in a hoody and sneakers, waving his gangly arms to pantomime Beta. Graham’s lived on the road for eight years now, ever since leaving Portland, Maine, for France, Spain, Switzerland — wherever his quest for hard FAs leads him. Anyone who knows Graham is well-acquainted with his under-the-radar gypsy lifestyle, rapid-fire rants, and streams of consciousness (see his Pro Blog). It was in the Northeast’s Rumney, New Hampshire, that Graham first made breakthrough FAs like The Fly (5.14d; 2000) while still a teenager. To this day, an endless, contagious energy powers him to climb almost daily, and Graham’s remained on top with sends like his April FA of The Island (V15), in Fontainebleau... with a finger injury, no less, and in just three days.
The idea of a constant plan is nice. I like this modern, quite futuristic idea of the moving, breathing, living, liquid plan — very malleable and all relative to the weather, feelings, and sensations deep inside.
When I started climbing, Smith Rock was the shit, Chris Sharma had just been to Mount Charleston, Dan Osman was soloing [running] waterfalls in Masters of Stone, and where I was from, people climbed mostly in North Conway and the Gunks. Perhaps I started at the right time, because I feel I had a taste of the old school — the history that brought us where we are.
My crew in the Northeast was small but powerful. Our faction, dedicated to the quest of development, took things quite seriously. But the motto was, never think you’re that cool — you’re still just climbing rocks...in the woods'... with bugs... and everyone thinks you’re crazy. We humbled ourselves with this logic and, in turn, never had a limit on what we expected to achieve. This helped to improve and develop our vision.
It’s been a never-ending pursuit to grasp and improve — step by step — the art of comprehending rock and moving with it. And it’s been inspiring to learn as many styles as I can and [watch] the future generations.
I went fishing my whole childhood and enjoyed hitting big ocean bluefish in the head with a mini-baseball bat, to remedy their living state. Right or wrong, I got a thrill and felt big, though I was a really short kid.
I refuse to go fishing now, ever since I listened to Nirvana’s [‘Something in the Way’], about chilling and living under a bridge. I knew it was true that fish have feelings.
In the ‘real world,’ no one knows me. They don’t know my name, and even if they did, it would mean nothing.
I’ve always had a passion for music and making music... I use my computer and a program called Ableton to mix my favorite music. [It lets me] complete little visions that I’ve always wanted to hear.
It’s a big challenge mentally and physically to travel forever. At eight years in the mix, I’d say the best thing is losing the Western mentality that you must make money and have stuff to prove you’ve done something in life. That you must always need more, do more, get more, be more.
I DO settle in places... to remain human and sane, and to train for projects... Maybe someday, I’ll settle down for good — if I find ‘The Island’ for real.
Not climbing means not being. I am a climber — therefore, I must climb. [This] presents all kinds of fundamental questions and challenges me to confront many paradoxical realizations about my life.
Who tricked me into thinking that when I was 26, things would be more modern? It’s 2008, and all I’ve heard of is the massive particle accelerator they built under Geneva and the cursed Internet, which is wireless through the air but never free. Not so inspiring or modern-feeling.
I am quite a victim of in-flight conversation. People always talk my ear off. Good Lord, I just want to listen to music, read books, and focus on being scared of flying. I am a nice guy, though, so I go along with it. I've been reading the same book for six flights now.
I desperately wish to see real robots. I bet they have them in first class. | <urn:uuid:5ddd34a7-3bc1-435f-bf98-d83c1ea6258a> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.climbing.com/climber/david-ethan-graham-professional-climber-loner-gypsy-cult-sci-fi-fanatic-laptop-beat-maker-nocturnal-tweaker-formerly-of-portland-maine/ | 2015-03-28T14:19:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131297587.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172137-00237-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968266 | 1,042 |
San Diego’s Sharp Memorial Hospital has been dubbed the “Most Beautiful Hospital in the World” by the health care information network and publication, HealthExecNews.com.
Sharp Memorial – located at 7901 Frost St. -- topped a list of 25 hospitals across the U.S. and countries such as Austria, Canada, China, Switzerland and the U.K. who were applauded for their interior and exterior design.
The local hospital’s patient-centered care and aesthetic beauty helped it land top honors.
The list was decided by a panel of experts from the editorial board of HealthExecNews.com, who spent several months narrowing down standout, stunning hospitals around the globe.
The hospitals that made the cut were judged on their design and the role their appealing aesthetic played in the health and recovery of their patients. Other factors included eco-friendliness and the alignment with consideration to the hospital’s natural surroundings.
“Studies have shown that a healing, therapeutic environment can aid in a patient’s recovery,” said Tim Smith, executive vice president and CEO, Sharp Memorial Hospital.
Sharp Memorial Hospital’s design includes hotel-like amenities, live music played on a baby grand piano and ocean views from the top floors of the west tower.
Additionally, nursing station desktops are shaped like surfboards and all private rooms feature sofas that convert into beds so loved ones can spend the night accompanying a patient.
The hospital boasts nearly 1,000 pieces of art in public and private spaces and a calming garden featuring a bamboo grove, camellia tree and benches for relaxation.
Sharp Memorial was established in 1955 and completed an elaborate expansion in 2009, becoming San Diego’s first hospital with all private patient rooms. Their new 315,000-square-foot, 334-bed Stephen Birch Healthcare Center structure is the first new hospital to open in San Diego since 1993, according to Sharp. | <urn:uuid:c822001b-d797-4103-b3be-07fb09e19607> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Sharp-Memorial-Hospital-San-Diego-Most-Beautiful-146507025.html | 2016-07-25T22:19:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257824395.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071024-00190-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956411 | 398 |

You may be wondering what the stakes are for moving to mobile now or waiting until there are tangible metrics to prove the business justification. By reviewing these challenges before you start down the path to mobile learning, you will quickly determine if you need to move toward mobile now, or plan for the future.
Does your company view learning as a formal events? If your offerings are primarily classroom, how might mobile help you? Formal classroom training always will have a place—and some topics, such as leadership and sales training, are perfect for the instructor-led setting.
Can you gain support for the necessary technology shift? Many talent development functions rely on the enterprise's IT group for support. In many situations, your technology support may come to you without substantial learning expertise, especially when it comes to implementing mobile learning.
Successful implementation of mobile learning is not easy, and it's not inexpensive. If anyone promises you these two, be quite skeptical. It's important to consider these factors when it comes to the tech required:
Work backward. Start with your end users. What, if anything, do they currently have or use when it comes to mobile devices? Is it possible for them to access mobile learning resources while working? Is there company Wi-Fi and is it robust enough? Is it culturally acceptable for end users to access learning resources while working?
Assess your tech infrastructure. How do you plan to serve mobile content: web app or native app? Do you need to interoperate with any existing mobile content systems? What device-level operating systems should you support? Where will you store your mobile learning content? Does your current LMS support mobile learning? Do you need to link to content in other locations? How will you manage curated information?
Do you have a strategy for supporting social elements in your mobile learning applications? Mobile is inherently social. Understanding end-user behavior as it applies to mobile is important. Social elements such as texting, accessing social networks, searching for information, and viewing and replying to e-mail are expected. Static, one-way transmission of information is not the default when it comes to mobile.
Can you implement the correct measures to justify the cost of mobile learning? Measuring the effectiveness of mobile learning is not as simple as implementing Kirkpatrick leveling. As you know, implementing mobile learning requires a significant investment in resources: both financial and in staff. You will need to provide cost justification and identify where and how performance improvement occurs.
Measuring true effectiveness of the learning solution itself will require you to obtain various levels of feedback from your end users, the business, and any other parties involved. The feedback also needs to be varied and include observation. In a dispersed implementation, this may be timely and require travel and potential business interruption. Additionally, you need to be able to gather usage metrics to identify how end users actually use the application.
If your mobile learning is not mandatory, then what is the direct motivational element that will drive people to engage? Furthermore, how will you make them aware that your resource is there and can provide value to them during the workday? How do you factor in the cost of development? Will you outsource the development or build it in-house? Either way, you will need to determine how to find the balance in cost versus return on performance improvement.
Do you have the staff capabilities to successfully drive a mobile learning strategy and implementation? Even if you plan to outsource your mobile learning development, there are specific capabilities you need to help ensure your strategy is aligned to your business needs and is executable across your enterprise. If your plan is to design and develop mobile learning in-house, you will need to consider new skill sets for your team.
If you outsource your design and development, you will find many capable companies that can provide stellar work. However, be sure that you and your IT business partner have a good understanding of software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms, interoperability, and extensibility.

A WITNEY woman has called for repairs to the town’s paving after she was badly injured falling on an uneven stone.
Ann Madden, 75, was shopping in Witney on October 6 when she fell on paving outside the Woolgate Shopping Centre.
She was left with a bruised nose and jaw, broken finger in her right hand and broken left hand and arm.
The great-grandmother spent 12 days in hospital and had an operation to insert pins in her left arm. The pins are due to be taken out in two weeks’ time.
Mrs Madden, of New Yatt Road, said: “I was walking past Baker’s Butchers and I stood on a stone that came up out of the ground and into the air.
“It was a bad fall and my face was bleeding afterwards. I was quite a mess.”
She added: “I am very annoyed with Oxfordshire County Council.
“We wrote to the council and they say they inspect and maintain the pavements every month, but that is a lie – the stone is still there. They need to get to grips with this because so many people are falling over and someone is going to do more damage than I did. What if an elderly lady in ill health fell? It could have killed her.”
Mrs Madden said the state of paths across Witney was “disgusting” and pointed to Corn Street and High Street as a particularly poor area.
She is considering suing the county council for compensation.
In October, disabled residents complained about the “dangerous” state of paving in Witney, including in the town centre, and said it was difficult to traverse.
Council spokesman Martin Crabtree said: “Witney town centre is inspected each month and faults are tackled as and when they are identified. We also respond when members of the public report problems to us.
“The county council has been in discussions with local councillors and the district council regarding the possibility of a wider scheme for Witney Market Square.
“To take this forward designs are being produced to improve the area. Councillors are currently considering how this scheme may be taken forward.”
Repairs to Corn Street’s footpath, costing £50,000, were due to start this month and £30,000 of work to fix Market Square is expected to start next year.
County Hall has spent about £15,000 this year on railings in Church Green and speed warning signs in Oxford Hill. | <urn:uuid:03b56bd1-b774-49e8-9bf8-28fddf4c4eac> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/10044577.Woman_injured_in_fall_on_Witney_s_uneven_paving/?action=complain&cid=10968173 | 2016-04-30T07:10:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860111620.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161511-00043-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982808 | 528 |

WHITE PLAINS, NY (WCBS 880) – Their meeting was brief but Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino says he came to no agreement with Shaun Donovan, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, about Westchester’s housing desegregation settlement.
WCBS 880’s Catherine Cioffi With The Latest On The Dispute
“We’re still very far away on some very big issues with regard to zoning and the amount of money we’d have to spend for this settlement, as well as the source of income laws,” said Astorino on Wednesday. “For us to have to fight local municipalities, sue them on zoning, ruin zoning, make us spend far more than anyone should, including taxpayers, that would bankrupt us. We’re not willing to go that distance, especially since it was not agreed upon.”
Astorino says the only thing the two did agree on is to meet again and try to work out an agreement.
“At the end of the day, we may not be able to reach an agreement, but we’re gonna try to find that out soon,” Astorino told WCBS 880 reporter Catherine Cioffi. | <urn:uuid:24782c91-afe2-455a-9ce0-a9dd5b58e189> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/07/27/westchester-county-executive-meets-with-hud-secretary-in-washington/ | 2018-01-23T16:25:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084891980.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180123151545-20180123171545-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.959731 | 262 |
Are you afraid to save money because you fear you’ll lose your hard-earned cash if you choose the wrong investments? If so, you have a lot of company. A full 38 percent of Americans share your fear, according to a recent study done by Aite Group on behalf of Chase.
People are afraid they will stick their money in the wrong place. And it’s understandable that they would be traumatized. Just five years ago, Americans went through one of the scariest periods in stock market history as the country endured a financial crisis and severe recession. During that period, people lost more than 50 percent of the money they once had in the stock market. A $10,000 investment before the crisis would have turned into less than $5,000 at the worst point in the crash.
Research done in the field of behavioral finance shows that our brains don’t tolerate losses well. We humans are so afraid that we’ll lose money that many of us will bypass opportunities to make the money we’ll need for our futures.
Let’s say you’re 35, have been through the financial crisis, but managed to hold onto $10,000 and are set on never losing a penny. If you park that money for the next 30 years in a savings account, you may have about $13,500 for retirement if it grows at 1 percent a year. Even if you add $5,000 a year to that, you’ll end up with only about $189,150 for retirement. If you’re lucky, that might give you about $10,000 a year to live on.
Of course, there’s Social Security, too — about $15,500 a year on average for current retirees. But could you live on about $25,500 a year? You might think that looks pretty horrible. Yet behavioral finance suggests you still might be telling yourself that at least you won’t lose anything if you park your money in that savings account. After all, you say, “$10,000 a year is better than nothing.”
You are right about that: $10,000 a year is, indeed, better than nothing. But there has never been a time when every U.S. company had stock that lost all its value. So the stock market isn’t likely to go to zero. Even in the financial crisis, stocks for companies like Proctor & Gamble, Apple and General Electric didn’t go to zero. In fact, what happened is that $10,000, which turned into less than $5,000 at the worst point of the downturn, is now worth more than $12,000. The market has been climbing since 2009, and it always climbs after a period of destruction.
While you can never count on the future to be exactly like the past, that recovery should at least provide some confidence. Historically, the stock market has averaged a gain of 9.8 percent a year — sometimes losing big; sometimes gaining big. With a gain like that, a 35-year-old with $10,000 now, who invests another $5,000 a year, could end up with about $1 million at retirement age. That would provide about $40,000 a year to live on. If the next 30 years are treacherous, and the investments gain just 5 percent a year on average, the final sum would be about $392,000. That’s about $16,000 for retirement living expenses a year.
But you don’t have to rely exclusively on the stock market to make money for your future. If, for example, you decided to cut your risks before the financial crisis and you had half of your money in the stock market through a Standard & Poor’s 500 index fund and half of your money in the bond market through a Barclays Aggregate bond market index fund, your original loss in the crisis would not have been as extreme as if you’d trusted the stock market completely. A $10,000 investment would have turned into about $7,800.
That’s not a comforting number, but it’s better than seeing your $10,000 cut in half. And at the end of August, you would have had about $13,000. History suggests that investing your money 50-50 in the stock market and bond market could end up growing your money about 8 percent a year on average. In other words, $10,000 now, plus additional investments of $5,000 a year, should mean you go into retirement with about $712,300. That would give you about $28,500 a year to live on.
If you are thinking now that none of this is guaranteed, and you could end up scared to death again in a new financial crisis, you are right. That could happen. But you know for a fact that while your money in a savings account won’t disappear, it also will not grow much. Shouldn’t you also worry that investing nothing for your future will give you nothing at retirement, or that counting on a savings account is bound to leave you with deficient funds?

“he-it tried but i fought, with all my might. i was able to break what he-it was doing, because when i came to his shadow disappeared. ( i saw exactly what you looked like.) tall 8ft-skinny-define in nature.-muscular tone-black eyes.- the hands, three long fingers thumb index,middle. short pinky and other. big hands. beak like mouth.- giant alien head that we know about – no smell.- and the oddest thing is his-it’s color. he-it was amber in color. red. so here i am now. 28, in it for the win. i am ready to ask for some help…”
— ESCONDIDO MUFON INVESTIGATOR; SATURDAY, DEC. 17, 2016.
The truth is out there.
As the world’s oldest and largest UFO phenomenon investigative body the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, aims to be the inquisitive minds’ refuge seeking answers to that most ancient question, “Are we alone in the universe?”
Trained MUFON investigators report from across the globe in places far and near. Investigators are not identified by name due to the sensitive nature of the project. An Escondido MUFON investigator left a rather descriptive accounting of a 2-minute incident on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2016. The report has not been altered in any way. It’s raw and it’s — real? Make of it as you will.
And be careful out there.
i have been going through this for along time.
i am 28, frustrated, lost in so many ways and ready to die.
i have finally come to terms with my self that this is not a joke. i guess it finally took seeing this person-entity to realize i’m as sane as they come.
be careful what u believe in. you may be surprised to find out what you only read as a child is actual-reality. these entities to your supprise are all around, 24-7. you see them sometimes with out even realizing. only because you have no idea what it is you actually saw. most of the time they pass by like a flicker of light, and when i say a flicker of light i mean it.
you know when there because they glimmer. easiest way to describe it is getting light headed and seeing so called stars as they say, you know the little sparks when you hold your breath to long or get hit really hard, yeah that’s it. —— there intelligence on how they perceive us is there mistake.
it all started when i was a child. i was the one to always ask questions, always wanting to understand how everything worked. i new things that no child should know. i didn’t always understand i was the most intelligent in the room for my age, but the adults knew.
i’m only saying this because remember it. it’s the key to everything. if you think this world goes on just by every action there is a reaction, your wrong. they control everything. (everything). they are the reaction to your actions. it’s sad to say but the earth-is just one big playing field, and we’re smack in the middle of all of it.
deamons-demons-ghost-fairies-trolls-nephilims-ext..They are all real. and i absolutely uhh, i still hate to say it out of all of it, but aliens. for some of us we have seen more than are fare share. give me a lie detector and you will know i’m as serious as they come.
so here it is straight forward. when i was 8 i got my first mark. a circle on my stomach on the left side. didn’t think anything of it at the time remind you how old i was. but it’s what came after a couple of months later. i was capable of knowing when things were going to go wrong before they happened. almost like a sixth sense, i always had the interpretation of something around me going wrong, but being so confused with anger.
it usually starts with an emotion of full anxiety and despare. (the only way u can really understand how it feels is. it’s the emotion as if you going to be caught for something horrible.- being in trouble.) as a child you can only imagine how terrible that would feel. that’s not all, at the age of 9 i started to realize i could feel other people’s emotions. and not just human beings, but animals alike.
i was so young, and i was so lost. there was no one to talk to about any of it,and my mother is very religious. so i locked it away, left it alone. a couple of months later i saw them. shadows at the end of my bed moving and shifting like humming thunder and static mass of energy. shifting back and forth always two to four of them like a pack of animals with an intention to harm,they make me lay still with paralysis, stuck and struck with fear unable to move my breathing dampening with fear, my voice completely stricken and cut off from there forceful doing while my parents lie in the next room unaware.
when i awoke i had a brand on my right hand. (lambda symbol ^ triangle type.) raised skin but not a scar, and it’s was red in color, fresh. days later it turned skin color and i still have it to this day. age 13- one night i was compelled to sleep out in the living room for reasons i have know idea why. i just had to. i kept looking out the window as if i was trying to catch anything out of the ordinary but nothing happened.
i fell asleep on the couch and woke up about 6 actually tripping out because i am the type of person who remembers all of there dreams and recalls them vividly but i had no memories of dreaming or falling asleep. sounds normal for a kid my age but not for me. when i awoke i had no shirt on, that’s when i noticed the marks.
i was branded again but this time it was different. to this day i still remember what it was. like i said in the beginning about the first mark was a circle, well this one was a circle with three marks around the rim in a uniform triangle, followed by a letters jhki-jhkl.
i had a neighbor close by who i trusted and would go to for advise or when i was board i would here one of his crazy stories to cheer me up. the point is i trusted him, so i put on a shirt and ran over to his house at 7 in the morning and had him look at it. he was as stunned as i was, he new i wasn’t lying by the look in my eyes. he said don’t dwell on it, maybe u laid on something in the night and it stuck to you.
i proceeded to explain if that were so then the letters would be backwards. that’s when i stunned the crap out of him. i went to school that day went straight to the nurses office showed her and she laughed and said i did it and it was a good prank. she didn’t even bother to listen, i showed one more person who i trusted at school and that was it. never spoke of it again.- age 16- same thing as the other, shadows came in the night. froze me. woke up and had a brand on my chest on the right breast plate above my heart.
three marks forming a triangle followed by a fourth right under it. uhh that mark stayed with me untill i was 18. it was terrible, i pray every night for them to go away so i could be normal and go to the pool or beach with out anyone noticing it.-age 20- the gift as i call it started getting worse.
i couldn’t go anywhere with out having an anxiety attack from the over whelming emotions that would consume me. everywhere i went was he’ll imagine the movie bruce almighty when he can hear everyone’s thoughts and prayers to the point where it’s so over whelming he pops.
yeah it’s just like that but with all of your problems thrown at me in a huge wheeping pile of an emotional mess. sucks,puts me in a position where life is hell. but i manage and try to move on.-age 22 this is were it gets interesting. i had a voice talk to me.- deep beautiful and soothing.
This is all it said..(search for the golden compass using a golden sceal.) i’m telling you right now i am not creative enough to even think of something like that. and i’m telling u now i’ve never heard voices, so that was a first for me. i’ve done all the research i can at this point on the quote or line and have come up with nothing.——————age23- the touch of death as i call it.
july 10th was the night my life changed for ever. the gift as i call came to a horrible realization that everything i had gone through was all real. the night before.- july 9th 10:00 pm it hit. a terrible feeling that something horrible was going to happened. normally i try to justify what is happening like i normally do.
no, this time i couldn’t shake the feeling, the more time started to pass it was comeing to 1:30am i was still up listening to music drawing doing anything i could to shake the emotion. then it happened. i got cold, very cold.The intence emotion i was feeling at the time jumped and sky rocketed to this day i will never forget the cold touch of something grab my shoulder. ice cold to the touch i froze with fear. couldn’t move, couldn’t breath. stuck. that feeling stayed with me all day, and all night.
My girlfriend came in to my work to see me because at the time i was working nights at a bar and grill. she knew something was wrong but i would say, i ignored her the whole night stuck in my stupid emotional mood i couldnt shake that i just knew deep down in my heart something was wrong, and about to happen it was a feeling i was all to familiar with. she finally got to the point were she was done and just wanted to go home.
i’ll never forget the way she walked out the door, stoped, did a double take and just wanted me to say something to keep her there. an excuse even, any reason to stay. But i didn’t i just let her go with someone i didn’t even know.
30 minutes go by i’m walking back and forth from inside to outside cleaning and dumping trash like i normally do at the end of the night when i stepped outside to throw away some trash when i collapsed and fell to my knees. a friend was next to me asked my if i was ok, i was choking and she saw it.
i couldn’t breath at all,i felt like i was drowning. when i was able to catch my breath and stand people started to ask if i was ok. all i was able to tell anyone was i felt like i was drowning, as soon as i said it, it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders no more anxiety or bad feelings, the night went on normal after that. started to drink finally, i was feeling better about everything. the only way to describe it.( is telling the truth and lifting that terrible weight on your shoulders.)
i was finally at the point of relief… so i thought…. 5 in the morning i was given the worst news anyone can have. my fiance is dead. the person driving her home lost control on a rollercoaster road spun out flipped down a hill into a pool upside down and she drowned stuck upside down.
i’ll never forgive my self. since then, it’s been different. i’m not the same anymore. now when they come at night they hate me. they try to paralyze me. but i won’t let them. i’ll never let it happened again.. that being said. is why i’m here now. just before my 28th birthday one came back.
he-it tried but i fought, with all my might. i was able to break what he-it was doing, because when i came to his shadow disappeared. ( i saw exactly what you looked like.) tall 8ft-skinny-define in nature.-muscular tone-black eyes.- the hands, three long fingers thumb index,middle. short pinky and other. big hands. beak like mouth.- giant alien head that we know about – no smell.- and the oddest thing is his-it’s color. he-it was amber in color. red. so here i am now. 28, in it for the win. i am ready to ask for some help…
witch brings me back to my original point about people like me and it being the key. they do not like innovators. anyone who can change the world. they have there plan, and we’re just the pawns on the board. we just need to figure out what side were on. | <urn:uuid:2b3f7284-c8fc-46fb-94a7-bdbbf7c3a8bb> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.escondidograpevine.com/2020/09/13/from-the-escondido-x-files/ | 2022-09-25T08:29:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334515.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925070216-20220925100216-00543.warc.gz | en | 0.97964 | 2,814 |
When the Chiefs’ safety Bernard Pollard went crashing into Tom Brady’s left knee, life as they knew it for Patriots fans ended. Also for one team in every fantasy league who had happily spent their first pick on the quarterback who would assuredly give them another 50 touchdowns this year. Since Brady had the NFL’s third longest starting streak of 128 games, why would anyone bother to draft his back-up? Most Brady owners could not even tell you his name before last Sunday. Now that Brady is out for the year, what does this all mean to fantasy football?
Probably less than you might think.
Sure the Brady owner has to hope to grab Matt Cassell and he won’t be Tom Brady but chances were great that even Brady was not going to replicate his record-setting 2007 season. He would have fallen; the only question was how far. Now Cassell takes over as the Patriot that no one knew and head coach Bill Belichick says he is in no hurry to sign a new quarterback. Cassell was a back-up quarterback but he was a veteran back-up. He’s been with the Patriots in the same system for four years. That is key – the same system. The one initially argued as being the core reason for Brady’s success. He may have run the offense to perfection, but Brady did not write the playbook.
Brady’s career coincided with the arrival in 2000 of Bill Belichick who selected him in the sixth round of his first Patriots draft and gave him the reins in 2001 when Drew Bledsoe was injured. Of the 32 teams in the NFL, perhaps none are as insistent on “Team and Scheme First” as the Patriots. Recall too that the complex system allowed passing success despite the absence of any individual playmakers for the first five years of Brady’s career. Cassell is not going to step in and throw for 50 scores, but he is also not going to allow the Patriots passing game to fall off the map or even drop below average.
Not only does Cassell have the system going for him, he starts out with two very valuable receivers in Wes Welker and Randy Moss. Arguably the most talented split end and the best slot receiver in the NFL. Cassell only threw 18 passes in the wake of Brady’s injury last week but still connected with Moss for 64 yards on three receptions with one touchdown. Welker only had three catches for 31 yards but the Pats were at home in a game they knew they could win.
By no means is losing a Brady a positive but his departure doesn’t turn the Patriots into just another average team with a no-name quarterback. This is one reason why the Patriots are so insistent on a “Team First” mentality. Randy Moss is one of the few wide receivers that can make a quarterback better and Wes Welker is unstoppable unless the defense over commits to covering him. Cassell will not throw for 50 scores because Brady wasn’t going to either – no quarterback with over 40 passing scores ever had more than 30 the next season and all but Marino had 26 or less. Had this happened two years ago, Cassell would be less attractive since there was only the system. This year he has that and two of the most dynamic receivers in the game.
Cassell has already hooked up with Moss for a score and completed 72% of his passes last week. The fantasy value of Moss has reasonably declined but only slightly because Moss will make Cassell a better quarterback. Wes Welker will remain a favored option in a system that made him the #1 in the NFL with 112 catches last year. Both Moss and Welker were already due for a decline after a record-setting year but Cassell will not make it a free fall by any means. Yet another buffer – the Patriots have a softer schedule this season than any that Brady had. It is one of the easiest in the league.
The Patriots rushing game remains in capable hands with Laurence Maroney and Sammy Morris splitting the load and both gaining over five yards per carry. Behind them looms Lamont Jordan who will surely show up as the surprise star of some future game because the Patriots – and their system – constantly keep opponents and fantasy owners guessing. The loss of Brady will be felt to be sure but it won’t be catastrophic – not at all. Brady never tackled anyone. He didn’t kick field goals or run the ball. He never caught an interception or ran a fade route in the corner of the endzone. He excelled at running a system which is still in place and will be manned by another player with four years experience in that scheme while watching Brady operate.
The oddity in Brady was that he was a personality in an offense that was designed to have none. The question is less if Brady was the key; it is more about whether The Patriot Way by Bill Belichick still exists. It does. | <urn:uuid:5f1d37ea-e504-4ee8-9b67-17becfbdb428> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.thehuddle.com/x8/articles/dmd-life-after-brady.php | 2016-07-24T12:52:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257824037.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071024-00207-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983177 | 1,014 |

The St. Louis Rams pulled it off yesterday, beating Cleveland in a game between two teams that looked exactly like their records said they should look. Ugly or not, a win is a win, and the disappointing Rams and their fans will take it. We have a solid collection of photos from the game for your browsing pleasure. Just click on the image above to see them all.
We also have this. An animated gif of Brandon Lloyd's awesome one-handed catch on the Rams' lone scoring drive of the game. Take a gander at it in all its glory, and think about just how criminally lacking the Rams have been at wide receiver all these years.
We also have the video of Lloyd's touchdown catch right here. We'll have plenty more coming your way throughout the day, including updates and reaction to what figures to be a very sobering injury report from Rams Park today.

Human Rights Dialogue 1.6 (Fall 1996): "The Human Rights Discourse in East Asia"
September 5, 1996
The number and diversity of human rights writings in Chinese have increased dramatically in recent years. Some of these current writings expose and criticize the Chinese government's violations of human rights. They are often published in the West and tend to assert that international pressure is the most effective way to promote human rights in China and condemn the communist regime. A separate category of writings, which are essentially academic reformulations of the 1991 Chinese Human Rights White Paper, serve the Chinese government's international and domestic human rights agendas. A third category of writings contribute to an academic discussion of human rights, with a view to transforming the current Chinese ideology and institutions related to human rights in a constructive way.
This latter category encompasses the Chinese academic efforts in the field of human rights since 1990. While there are many differences in term of stance, methodology, and quality within this category, the following generalizations can be made. First, these writings are the most widely read in China, yet most of them only serve to introduce and spread knowledge about human rights among students, scholars, and officers. Second, they have been successful in creating official acceptance of human rights rhetoric, in challenging die-hard ideology, and in forging a human rights consciousness among Chinese people. These writings have generally failed to escape from political and cultural predicaments: They justify human rights by quoting from classical Marxist works or the Western radical liberal writings during the Enlightenment period, instead of developing a concept of universal values and cultural identity. In this sense, these writings hve not advanced beyond those pioneering writings devoted to ideas about democracy, equality, and freedom that were popular in Chinese society at the time of the May 4th movement in 1919.
In recent years, however, more and more researchers have abandoned sterile theoretical quarrels to focus on the institutional aspects of human rights. By interpreting and modifying the clauses related to rights protection in the Chinese constitution and citing international human rights documents, these scholars have initiated and partly implemented many constructive proposals in the fields of children's rights, consumers rights, the rights of the disabled, women's rights, criminals rights, property rights, information rights, and so on. Still the analyses of these human rights issues are inadequate and research on election or democratic rights and freedom of expression remain at a preliminary stage. Some scholars are now studying the social dynamics and institutional frameworks for the development of human rights in China through empirical research, and these early studies have been published in China. The first five studies below belong to this third category and the last belongs to the first category.
Contemporary Human Rights (Dangdai renquan). Edited by the Institute of Law, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Beijing: Chinese Social Science Press, 1992.
The leading articles of this extensive collection of writings by Chinese scholars focus on human rights concepts: "What Does Human Rights Mean?" by Shen Zongling, "Three Categories of Human Rights" by Li Buyun, "Universal Nature and Class Nature of Human Rights" by Guo Daohui," "The Subjects of Human Rights Law and Their Rights" by Zhang Wenxian, and "The Moral Foundations of Human Rights" by Xia Yong. Other articles are devoted to an explication of the classical Marxist-Leninist works: "On Marxism's Human Rights Ideas" by Liu Han and Li Lin, "We Must Distinguish the Socialist Human Rights Idea from the Capitalist Human Rights Idea" by Gu Chunde. Other contributions deal with the right to development, the right to self-determination of a nation, and rights of particular importance in China such as constitutional rights, women's rights, and criminals rights. This book was the product of "The Symposium on Human Rights Theory" held in June 1991 in Beijing. The symposium was the first public discussion of human rights to take place since June 1989, and the first nation-wide event (since 1949) to have the words "human rights theory" in its title.
Most of the articles are intended to mobilize official recognition of human rights instead of simply dismissing human rights as a "bourgeois slogan," and they tend to describe often-exaggerated accounts of China's achievements in the field of human rights. Fundamental questions are posed: What are human rights? How do we justify them? Are there any resources available in China to identify human rights? Generally, these questions are proposed and answered in the abnormal, even preposterous manner allowed by the framework of communist ideology and institutions. Importantly, some of the researchers (before being published in this book) had significant influence on the drafting of the Chinese Human Rights White Paper of 1991 and the Chinese government's strategies for the conferences on human rights in Bangkok (1992) and Vienna (1993).
Origins of the Human Rights Concept (Renq-uan gai-nian qiyuan) by Xia Yong. Beijing: China University of Politics and Law Press, 1992.
A guide to human rights history and theories for Chinese readers, this book begins by discussing the rights concept with references to rights consciousness in primitive society, justice notions in ancient Greece, Rome, and China, and the current disputes over the definition of rights among Western scholars. It then turns to the evolution of civil rights systems and the natural rights idea, focusing n the growth of capitalism and the Enlightenment, with comparisons drawn between the British, French, and American experiences. The book ends with a discussion of the principles of human rights and the relationship between human rights and Chinese tradition. While addressing questions of why human rights should be respected, why Chinese people were not aware of human rights in the past, and the compatibility of human rights and Chinese culture, the author touches on key areas of human rights theory in China. By asserting the universality of human rights and its moral implications, particularly by defining human rights essentially as the rights of individuals against the government, the author challenges the orthodox ideas that have denied the natural and universal characteristics of human rights and intentionally stressed the rights to survival—shengcun quan—as the most important human rights. As a result, this book was criticized for being out of step with Marxist historical materialism. Nonetheless, sections of the book dealing with Chinese culture and human rights were translated in Quarterly of Chinese Social Science, No. 2, 1993, Hong Kong. Reprinted twice in China, the book received awards from the China Association of Book Reviews in 1993 and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 1995.
Annotated Proposed Draft of the Revised Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China (Zhonghua renmin gongheguo xingshi susongfa xiugai jianyi gao yu lunzheng). Edited by Chen Guangzhong and Yan Duan. Beijing: Zhongguo Fangzheng Press, 1995.
This publication provides insights into the intellectual and policy debates surrounding one of the most significant recent human rights developments in China: the revision of the Criminal Procedure Law (CPL). It sets out the full text of the proposed new CPL which was prepared at the request of China's National People's Congress by a group of prominent legal academics based at China University of Politics and Law. The book contains a detailed analysis of the shortcomings of the 1979 Criminal Procedure Law and proposes ways to address them. Academics were not the only nor the most influential voice in the debates leading up to the revision of the CPL in March 1996. However, the book presents many of the changes that were ultimately adopted, such as eliminating some forms of arbitrary detention and expanding access to a defense counsel. Its broader significance lies in its frank call for increased attention to human rights protections in the criminal process and its invocation of internationally accepted human rights standards and practices as justifications for Chinese reforms.
General Survey of Capital Punishment (Si-xing tonglun) by Hu Yunteng. Beijing: China University of Politics and Law Press, 1995.
This book offers ten chapters on the ge neral history, doctrines, and policies pertaining to the death penalty, as well as the related legislation, judicial discretion, and reexamination procedure. The focus is on the debate over abolishing the death penalty in Western countries and the rethinking of China's criminal policy. Comparisons are drawn between China, the United States, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. This book argues that abolishing the death penalty represents great progress for human civilization and that it is not impossible for the Chinese people to think about and eventually abolish the death penalty. Through positive analyses, the author points to serious problems in China's current criminal law, arguing that too many categories of crime are punishable by death, and the conditions and procedures for application of the death penalty are inferior and too flexible. Finally, the author offers a realistic proposal for reforming Chinese current criminal law, which would control the application and reduce the use of the death penalty.
Toward the Age of Rights: Research on the Development of Chinese Citizens Rights (Zou xiang quanli de shidai: Zhongguo gongmin quanli fazhan yanjiu). Edited by Xia Yong. Beijing: China University of Politics and Law Press, 1995.
This book represents the first comprehensive attempt to analyze rights protection and its relationship to the broader forces of social change in China. These essays, by eighteen young Chinese legal scholars and sociologists from leading Chinese academic institutions, draw on a wide range of empirical sources, including survey data, to address different elements of the rights protection system in China. These elements include: rights concepts and consciousness, major institutional actors (courts, lawyers, mediation bodies), key substantive rights issues (property rights, criminal justice), and particular rights bearers (women, criminal defendants, rural residents). Not surprisingly, given the embryonic state of Chinese empirical research on law and rights, the essays are somewhat uneven in quality. Overall, however, they provide a refreshingly frank, non-polemical look at the current status and future trends of rights protection in China. Professor Xia Yong's introduction sets out a tentative model of rights development in China which serves as a theoretical framework. Non-Chinese readers will find the essays a rich source of firsthand information, even on sensitive issues such as rights protection in the criminal justice system. The book's preface states that it is just one of the products of the authors collaborative research into social development and rights protection in China. In fact, many of the essays appear to have used only sparingly the results of the groups survey questionnaire (which is published as an appendix). Still, this book is an encouraging endeavor whose success bodes well for further research into this important but largely unexplored field.
"Human Rights and the Legal System in China" ("Zhongguo de renquan yu fazhi") by Guo Luoji. Democratic China, vol. 67, no. 2, 1995, Tokyo.
The author, one of China's most famous dissidents now residing in the United States, places human rights in three categories—natural rights, legal rights, and actually realized rights—and argues that it is impossible to protect human rights under the current Chinese legal system. In making his argument he points to the inadequacies of rights protection provisions in the Chinese constitution, the absence of positive laws to implement the rights clauses in the constitution, and the lax implementation of existing law such that legal rights are not actually realized. His proposal to improve human rights in China includes greater supervision of the constitution, a review of legislation, and recognition of the principle of the presumption of innocence.
Reviewers are Xia Yong, currently a visiting scholar of East Asian Legal Studies at Harvard Law School, and Jonathan Hecht, a research fellow of East Asian Legal Studies at Harvard Law School. (Mr. Hecht wrote the third, fifth, and sixth reviews.) Professor Xia Yong is also a postdoctoral fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government and an associate professor of law at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. His current research focuses on the development of law and human rights. Mr. Hecht's current research focuses on comparative law, Chinese criminal procedure, and women's rights in China. | <urn:uuid:315a9b27-290d-44bf-867e-ea4110d458d7> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://www.carnegiecouncil.org/publications/archive/dialogue/1_06/articles/533 | 2019-03-22T11:26:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202642.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20190322094932-20190322120932-00085.warc.gz | en | 0.936697 | 2,485 |

If there's one thing we have come to expect on a regular basis in audio, it's surprising new products from Russ Andrews Accessories.
The Lancashire purveyor and inventor of all manner of tweakeries seems to have an inexhaustible fund of previously untried ideas for bits and bobs to improve our sound systems.
This little device appears as a small plastic box with two flying leads, each terminated in piggy-back banana plugs (spade terminals available as an option). You plug them into the back of your loudspeakers, then plug the speaker cables into the back end of the plugs.
The claim is that the Zapperator absorbs radio-frequency interference which is picked up by the loudspeakers, reducing noise 'in the amplifier/loudspeaker interface'.
Andrews isn't enormously forthcoming about the precise configuration of the circuit in each Zapperator, describing it simply as a 'high quality Zobel network'.
A Zobel network can be various things, but in audio it's usually a simple network consisting of a resistor and a capacitor in series, connected between the output of an amplifier and ground and intended to help stabilise the amplifier at high frequencies.
The Zapperator circuit is encapsulated in black resin, but we were able to see and identify a few components, including a resistor and a couple of capacitors, all apparently normal industrial parts. What we can't see is how the Zapperator can either absorb or block very much RF.
Andrews claims that loudspeakers can act as an RF antenna and, to the extent that they include some lengths of unscreened wire, that's certainly true. In order to absorb this, the Zapperator would have to present a low impedance at radio frequencies, but its impedance is, in fact, moderate. It will cut interference levels a little, but not massively.
We tried the Zapperators with various combinations of amp and speaker, the speakers being from ATC, Spendor and Bowers and Wilkins, while amplifiers included a Cambridge Audio Azur 840A, Exposure 3010 and various more or less current models from NAD, Harman/Kardon and EAR. Cables ranged from Kimber and Wireworld to QED and various custom configurations.
The first thing we would like to make clear is that in no case did the Zapperators make the sound worse in any definable way. On the other hand, most of the time we were not convinced that they made much of a difference at all.
To the extent they did, they seemed to give rise to small changes in tonality and imaging – the former typically became the minutest shade mellower, while the latter simply shifted a little: a bit like moving the chairs of an orchestra a couple of feet one way or another.
Perceptible, yes, if one listens in quick succession to 'before' and 'after' conditions, but not necessarily an improvement and not really important either, as both versions were plausible and enjoyable. We would hesitate to dismiss the Zapperator as wishful thinking or placebo effect, but we can't get very worked up about its changes in any of the various systems where we tried it.
In addition, we don't necessarily accept that radio-frequency interference is the only explanation for its effects.
The much discussed concept of 'impedance matching' could also play a part, making the combined load of cable, speaker and Zapperator look less threatening to the amplifier at frequencies high above the audio band. Various experiments have suggested that RFI is more of a problem in common mode, which is not affected by the Zapperator in any case – ferrite clamps are more applicable here.

The Utah Golf Course Superintendents Association leads the development of statewide best management practices with grant from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America
Lawrence, Kan. (Dec. 10, 2019) – The Utah Golf Course Superintendents Association, along with Utah State University, has resulted in the publication of “Utah Golf Course Industry Best Management Practices Guide”.
The Utah BMPs were developed in part by using the BMP Planning Guide and Template created by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) and funded and supported by the USGA.
The Utah GCSA received a $10,000 BMP grant that GCSAA funded through the association’s Environmental Institute for Golf (EIFG) in part by PGA Tour. The BMP grant program provides funding through the EIFG to chapters for developing new guides, updating existing guides or for verification programs. GCSAA’s goal is to have all 50 states offer established BMPs by 2020.
The BMPs provide guidance in twelve key areas including archaeological awareness, wildlife protection, surface water management and water quality, nutrient use, integrated pest management, energy and others that speak to the state’s 6 different climate zones and unique flora and fauna.
Eric Gifford, superintendent at Riverside Country Club in Provo, Utah, was chairman of the Utah BMP Steering Committee.
“This is a great resource that Utah superintendents can use to help them be even more environmentally conscious when it comes to making decisions at their facilities.” Gifford said. “The BMPs presented will be a great foundation that the UGCSA can build upon for years to come. “
GCSAA members who served on the Utah BMPs steering committee included, Dave Carruth, superintendent at Murray Park Golf Club in Murray, Utah; Pat Christoffer, director of agronomy at Red Ledges Golf Club in Heber, Utah; Ross Laubscher, director of agronomy at Entrada at Snow Canyon Golf Club in St. George, Utah; Brian Roth, CGCS, superintendent at Oquirrh Hills Golf Course in Tooele, Utah; Paul Stokes, superintendent at Logan (Utah) Country Club.
Utah State’s Paige Boyle was instrumental in assembling the document with additional support provided by Carl Adams, stormwater specialist, Utah Department of Environmental Quality; Diana Cox-Foster, research leader, USDA-ARS Pollinating Insect Biology, Management and Systematic Research Lab; Kelly Kopp, professor and Extension water conservation and turfgrass specialist, Utah State University; Henry Nahalewski, pesticide program manager, Utah Department of Agriculture and Food; and Larry Rupp, professor and Extension ornamental horticulture specialist, Utah State University.
With more than 75 courses in the state covering a wide variety of climates, the Utah BMPs offers guidelines for superintendents to manage their facilities in an efficient and environmentally sustainable manner in keeping with their regional needs and regulatory concerns. The BMPs cover 12 sections of topics ranging from more universal topics like water quality management and pollinator protection to irrigation and water conservation.

Major fire destroys part of meat processing plant in Burlington
A large fire at the Paletta International building in central Burlington has resulted in major damages to the facility.
Emergency crews were called to the building, located at the southwest corner of Appleby Line and the QEW, at 4:10 p.m.
Flames could be seen on the east side of the building with black smoke billowing over southern Burlington and Lake Ontario.
“It’s very much a defensive fire. We’re keeping our firefighters safe while looking to try to protect the west side of the building,” Burlington Fire Chief David Lazenby told Global News Wednesday evening.
Lazenby said 50 per cent of the building was affected by the fire. He said it also serves as a meat processing plant.
The City of Burlington said in a statement there are no reports of injuries and everyone is accounted for.
Officers encouraged residents in the area to keep their windows closed.
WATCH: Burlington fire chief provides update on major industrial fire
Burlington Mayor Rick Goldring told Global News the fire is “a shock” for the community and praised the Paletta family, for whom the building is named.
“They’re community leaders and very philanthropic in the community in support of the Carpenter Hospice and Joseph Brant Hospital, and many other causes in our community, in a very meaningful way,” Goldring said.
“Certainly our hearts go out to them.”

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Firefighters from Hamilton and Oakville were called in to assist with Burlington crews.
Police closed a portion of Appleby Line beside the scene of the fire, as well as the Toronto-bound access to the QEW.

Buying a new home is almost always on the top of priority list of most men and women. Since you intend to stay in the home for decades or possibly even a lifetime it doesn’t need to be exaggerated that you’d have to exercise due caution while selecting your dream abode. After all, you’ll be investing your hard-earned money and a lifetime of savings to purchase the house.
The entire process of making a list of homes (that have caught your imagination and are within your budget), inspecting each thoroughly, choosing one from the listing, and completing all the buying formalities usually happens to be stressful. Consulting a real estate agent will help in reducing the stress associated with the searching and buying procedure as he is the right professional having the extensive professional in this regard. Purchasing a house is nothing short of a gamble since there’s a lot at stake especially when you’re completely in the dark about whether your investments will be worthwhile.
Asking the right questions
When you embark on a house inspection spree, you’ll be saving yourself valuable time, effort, and money (you’ll have to rearrange your schedule to drive down to the address where the home is located), if you can find satisfactory answers to some important questions. For instance, is the residence more spacious and comfortable than your present dwelling? Is the home equipped with all modern amenities or facilities that are necessary for leading a comfortable lifestyle?
Also take into account whether the home is conveniently located or not. In other words, are there marketplaces, hospitals, schools, and cinema halls etc close by that you can visit by foot or at least commute conveniently? Are the bus stops, train stations, and motorways situated close or very far away? Finally, factor in the status of the house. Is it a brand new home that was built recently by a developer or is it one that had been occupied by one or more homeowners in the past?
In case the house was constructed recently, find out if the same has been built keeping the safety, comfortableness, and durability aspects in mind? If the abode is an old one, check out whether the last occupant had carried out all the requisite repair and maintenance work? Start negotiating (about the price of course) only when you’ve more or less made up your mind to purchase the dwelling.
Your ideal home will be the one that fits in with your needs. Towards this end, a home that might be appropriate for you may not be suitable for others. For example, newlywed couples will be able to make themselves at home even if the abode is a not a large or spacious one. Furthermore, newlyweds will have to keep aside funds for purchasing household items and goods that’ll leave them with limited resources to look for a large abode. On the other hand, a family with kids will obviously need a house that comes with separate rooms for youngsters. Pay attention to the quality of construction and whether the home has been built in a manner that gives you scope for carrying out renovations or future expansions.

A late strike from Leigh Broxham has sent Melbourne Victory into the AFC Asian Champions League (ACL) group stage after a 2-1 win over Muangthong United at Simonds Stadium in Geelong on Saturday night.
Broxham scored the winning goal in the 83rd minute, collecting the ball after Muangthong had cleared a Victory corner, before rifling his shot past the visiting goalkeeper with the help of a deflection.
After surviving the opening 20 minutes - more by luck than design - Muangthong had taken the lead when Mario Durovski's corner went straight into the net, evading both Victory full-back Scott Galloway at the near post and goalkeeper Nathan Coe.
Melbourne's best chance to equalise in the first half came on the stroke of half-time but captain Mark Milligan failed to convert a penalty.
However, second-half goals from James Troisi and Broxham saw Victory recover and earn a berth in the ACL group stage for the fourth time in the club's history.
Melbourne started brightly and should have taken the lead in the eighth minute only for Tom Rogic to head wide.
Muangthong then gave the hosts an idea of the threat they would pose on the counter-attack throughout the match, when Teerasil Dangda got in behind Victory's defence but he scuffed his shot wide.
Victory continued to dominate but struggled to seriously test the Thai club's goalkeeper Visanusak Kaewruang regularly enough.
And Kevin Muscat's men were punished for their lack of cutting edge when Durovski curled his corner over Galloway's head and inside the near post in the 22nd minute with Coe stranded behind an opposition player.
The half ended in farcical circumstances as Victory were awarded a penalty after Archie Thompson was knocked over in the box by Piyaphon Buntao.
Referee Masaaki Toma from Japan showed Piyaphon both a yellow and a red card, mistakenly believing the defender had already been booked, but quickly rescinded the sending off when reminded of his era by several Muangthong players
Milligan then stabbed his spot kick low to Visanusak's left hand but it lacked power and the visiting goalkeeper held onto the ball.
The drama did not end there either with the referee's whistle for half-time being temporarily mistaken by Victory as the signal for a re-take.
Muangthong should have doubled their lead just after the break but Teerasil failed to convert a one-on-one opportunity, while Durovski's fizzing volley soon after was tipped wide by Coe.
Victory took advantage of those two misses in the 58th minute when Troisi timed his run perfectly to get onto Galloway's cross and headed the ball into the roof of the net.
Melbourne continued to push throughout the second half but missed a hatful of chances and the match seemed destined for extra time, until Broxham's late heroics saw Victory progress.
To add insult to injury, Muangthong ended the game with 10 players after their captain Datsakorn Thonglao was sent off for head-butting Broxham in the final minute.
Melbourne Victory 2 (Troisi 58 Broxham 83)
Muangthong United 1 (Durovski 22)

Development of the brain and the emergence of the mind constitute some of the most important concerns of contemporary biology. Disturbances during fetal life may have profound implications for a child's future neurological and psychological development, which can in turn impact society. The new edition of this highly respected work presents a comprehensive review of the basic mechanisms of brain development and the pathophysiology of disorders of the infant brain, written by a team of distinguished neuroscientists, neonatologists, and neuropediatricians. The book follows the main milestones of brain development, from formation of the neural tube and wiring of the neurons in the brain. Neurotrophic factors, neurotransmitters, glial cell biology, cerebral circulation development of sensory functions are all described in detail. Furthermore, there are more philosophical chapters on the evolution of the brain and the emergence of consciousness. Clinical considerations are highlighted where relevant.

Transcription of Video:
Hey everybody. I'm not videoing from one of my normal locations today so hopefully the waves in the background won't be too distracting.
I didn't want to miss a week on the journey to get 52 Monday Morning Mobile Minutes posted this year in 52 weeks so here's for week 31. So last week we defined a little bit around what we mean by a firstline worker and this week I want to talk about operational technology and what we mean by operational technology. Really there's a whole segment of technology that is continuing to evolve and proliferate because of miniaturization of technology, connectivity, and just the adoption of technology that is being used to run the systems in our business. So, operational technology refers to the technology in non-carpeted spaces in the business if you think about it that way. It is the technology that's connected to the generators, the pumps, the valves, the drilling systems, the vehicles, all the aspects of the equipment and infrastructure in our business that actually does the things that we do as a business. But what’s happening now is it's creating new challenges.
So as with anything else as we evolve and we adopt more of these technologies we're uncovering new challenges that may not have existed before and that's really what we talk about when we're referring to this convergence of operational technology and information technology and some of the challenges that poses. We have a lot more information available about this on our website and I’d encourage you to take a look at that where we really kind of talk through a little bit more detail about what operational technology is and really some of the challenges that exist as a result.
Thanks for watching. I'll put some links below to refer you back to our website. Have a great week.
