Spaying or Neutering Your Dog or Cat What do I need to know about spaying or neutering my dog or cat? Spaying or neutering your pet can help minimize behavior problems and control the population of unwanted pets. Spaying and Neutering Summary Why should I spay or neuter my cat or dog? Spaying or neutering your pet can help minimize behavior problems and control the population of unwanted pets. Below are some of the benefits to consider: Neutering male pets decreases their chances of developing prostatic enlargement and disease and eliminates the risk of testicular cancer. Spaying female pets eliminates the risk of pyometra, a life-threatening infection of the uterus. If your pet is spayed before her first heat cycle, her chances of developing breast cancer drop dramatically as well. Behavior problems are the primary reason pet owners take their pets to shelters, and pets that haven’t been spayed or neutered are more likely to exhibit undesirable behaviors. For example, female cats can be very disruptive and vocal during their heat cycle, and male pets may roam, mark, sexually mount and become aggressive. By neutering your puppy or kitten at six months or younger, you’ve taken the first step toward preventing aggression. The next step is puppy socialization training. Ask your veterinary team for more information on puppy training classes at PetSmart® The drive to reproduce is strong in dogs and cats that haven’t been spayed or neutered and can lead to unwanted reproduction. By spaying or neutering your pet when you have decided not to raise puppies or kittens (a very big job), you can do your part to limit the chances of pet overpopulation and avoid dealing with a surprise pregnancy. More than 1 million stray dogs and 500,000 stray cats live in the New York City metropolitan area alone. Spaying or neutering your pet eliminates unwanted litters, which contribute to thousands of owner-requested euthanasias and millions of stray animals. PetSmart also does its part: The PetSmart Charities’ Adoption Center helps find families for thousands of homeless pets each year. Is spaying or neutering safe for my pet? Even though there is some risk with any anesthetic procedure or surgery, we’re committed to providing the highest quality surgical care, made as painless as possible, and we follow up with the finest postoperative care anywhere. We use the following methods to ensure a safe procedure and a quick recovery for your pet: We’ll examine your pet from nose to tail before surgery upon recovering from anesthesia and two weeks after the operation to be sure your pet is in good health going in to the procedure and healing properly afterward. Comprehensive Laboratory Analysis Our lab analysis includes an internal organ function screen and a complete blood count, which help us find any preexisting conditions that could cause complications during anesthesia, surgery or recovery. We use the anesthetic agents approved for veterinary care, sevoflurane and propofol. These agents, combined with a thorough assessment of your pet’s individual needs allow us to provide your pet with the safe anesthesia and a shorter recovery. During the procedure, we use sterile instruments, drapes and surgical gowns while paying careful attention to sterility to limit the possibility of infection. Continual Cardiac and Blood Oxygen Monitoring During surgery and recovery your pets oxygen levels, blood pressure, heart rhythm, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature will be monitored with specialized equipment and by a trained team member to help detect potential problems before they become serious. An intravenous catheter allows safe, easy administration of any necessary medications or fluids. Intravenous Fluid Therapy Intravenous fluid therapy helps ensure your pet’s blood pressure remains within its normal range during anesthesia. Pain treatment speeds recovery and keeps your pet as comfortable as possible during this stressful time. During this time, the hospital team monitors your pet’s recovery, performs postoperative exams and removes the IV catheter. We recommend spaying or neutering before six months of age because pets that are older, in heat, pregnant or overweight are at higher risk. When should I have my pet spayed or neutered? At Banfield, we like to give your pet time to grow and become a healthy young member of the family before spaying or neutering, and we recommend that your pet be fully vaccinated. Our veterinary team generally recommends surgery when the pet is between 4 and 6 months old. If you participate in the Banfield Optimum Wellness Plans® for puppies and kittens, we automatically plan the surgery at the best time for your pet. If you want to breed or show your pet, you may want to delay spaying or neutering. If that’s the case, we can help you decide when the time is right and even help you raise a litter. As godparents to thousands of puppies and kittens, we encourage you to find adoptive parents for them before the breeding takes place. Be sure to provide breeding and prenatal care for your pet. Consult your local Banfield veterinarian for help with these important issues. Did you know? The Early Care Plus Kitten Optimum Wellness Plan and the Early Care Plus Puppy Optimum Wellness Plan both include a spaying and neutering kittens and puppies under 6 months. Owners with older pets also have the option of adding an adult spay or neuter surgery when they purchase an Optimum Wellness Plan. Learn more about how you can give your pet the preventive care she deserves by choosing a personalized Optimum Wellness Plan today.	<urn:uuid:2ffb85cc-f704-487f-a901-4f9f25fba3b0>	CC-MAIN-2019-51	https://www.banfield.com/pet-healthcare/additional-resources/article-library/veterinary-services/spaying-or-neutering-your-dog-or-cat	2019-12-16T03:01:28Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575541315293.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20191216013805-20191216041805-00341.warc.gz	en	0.921426	1,166
Look at what I came home to today! The kind folks at WayFare Foods have sent me a bunch of goodies to sample, including: hickory cheddar, cheddar, and mexi spreads, sour cream, and chocolate, vanilla and butterscotch puddings. Tonight I tried the mexi-spread and the we can’t say it’s sour cream. It was a perfect pairing with a new batch of rawcos and whole wheat pita bread. The mexi-spread was amazing. I had a hard time not eating it straight with a spoon. The sour cream was alright, but I was never a big sour cream fan. I think the sour cream would work great as an substitute for recipes that normally call for dairy sour cream (like certain desserts, dips, etc…) For dessert I couldn’t decide between the three flavors… …so I just closed my eyes and grabbed one. Vanilla! The texture was a little different from other puddings I’ve had, but it was still nice and thick. The flavor was amazing. I would definitely buy this and keep on hand. I look forward to testing out the other samples later in the week!	<urn:uuid:4925d8f5-d175-4004-b84d-f7be1e3a4048>	CC-MAIN-2017-34	https://thevegway.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/make-way-for-wayfare/	2017-08-17T17:27:09Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886103891.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20170817170613-20170817190613-00203.warc.gz	en	0.974892	251
\|Doesn't get much better than this... This wonderful Bava creation (an Italian original, and in many ways the blueprint for the later Friday the 13th series) paints the story of a wealthy Countess murdered by her husband and the craziness that begins when a horde of relatives and associates begin to battle for her bayside properties. Essentially one of the first true slasher films, this stylish "Body Count" granddaddy has numerous, inventive killings that audiences would see duplicated later on in Halloween and the Friday the 13th series. In addition, some of the plot elements would pop up later in hordes of nameless, faceless slasher flicks. Machetes in heads, spears through gyrating lovers, throats cut while running, etc, etc. All nicely packaged in a somewhat secluded woodsy setting. Undisputed must see. Also known as both Twitch of the Death Nerve and Bloodbath.	<urn:uuid:b401578f-89af-4a3e-ad20-199f0a062a57>	CC-MAIN-2018-26	http://terrortrap.com/reviewsdatabase/b/bay_of_blood.php	2018-06-23T23:26:26Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865438.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623225824-20180624005824-00401.warc.gz	en	0.960978	197
Wrapping up the first semester December 12, 2022 The last few days before a school break are challenging for teachers to navigate. With days or weeks of freedom on the near horizon, even the most devoted students start to feel their head space shifting to a more free-form, creative mode. That can heighten the energy in the classroom, fostering an unpredictable environment that can turn on a dime from cheerful engagement to irritation and disciplinary issues. So, as a teacher, how do you harness the heightened creative energy, rather than trying to fight against it? One way is to help students create an end-of-year presentation celebrating everything they’ve achieved in your class. What is an end-of-year presentation? Even if you aren’t a Spotify user, chances are you’ve seen your social media connections post their personalized Spotify Wrapped animation at the end of each year. The music streaming service leverages each user’s listening data to create customized animated videos displaying that user’s stats — such as the songs, artists, and genres they listened to most. In 2022, the service also showed users their “Listening Personality Type,” a music-related version of the Myers-Briggs personality types. Helping students create their own, personal lists about your class is a great way to tap into students’ excitement around the end of the year while reinforcing key concepts and celebrating their progress. Here’s how: 1.Choose a template Give students the opportunity to choose any free template they’d like or to start from scratch if there’s enough time. They can add animated transitions between slides or create a more static slide deck, depending on their skill level. If you have the time, it’s a great idea to create a presentation example for students using your own data — such as the number of papers graded, tests given, or concepts taught. 2. Assign groups To alleviate any anxiety students have about sharing their design skills or personal opinions, assign this project to small groups. If possible, ensure each group has a person who can serve as the lead designer, overseeing the visual elements of the project and manning the software. 3. Define the topics To give structure to students’ presentations, give them a list of slide topics to incorporate. A few topics might include: - Something academic they’ve learned – Reinforce your material by requiring students to include a slide for each group member that shares an academic concept they’ve learned in your class. - Something quantifiable – Include 3-5 slides that quantify something they’ve experienced in class using actual data or estimates — or make up their numbers completely for comedic effect. Here are some examples: - Number of books read, number of hours spent on research, and number of minutes spent exercising/participating in team sports. Include some fun statistics such as number of snacks eaten, number of YouTube videos watched, and number of times the teacher has said their catch phrase. - Something they got better at – Celebrate progress by asking students to share something they improved on while in your class. - Favorite lesson – Give students the chance to reflect and relate by including a slide that shares their group’s favorite lesson of the year. - Something they’re thankful for – Whether it’s personal or academic, inspire groups to share gratitude for something they’ve experienced this semester. - A goal or something they’re looking forward to – Set students up to start thinking about the future by asking them to share something they’re looking forward to learning, experiencing, or doing in your class the next semester. - Multimedia – Encourage students to use photos and music throughout their presentation to add excitement and context. 4. Observe and guide as they work Give students the freedom to reflect, explore, and experiment. Keep an eye on their progress using your LanSchool dashboard. If it seems like a group has gone off topic, send them a message to see whether they have any questions or whether they’ve become distracted. Creative ideas sometimes need time to fully develop, so it’s a good idea to schedule this activity to take place in short sessions over the course of multiple days. 5. Ask students to present Once the allotted time has been reached, ask groups to share their presentations with the class using LanSchool’s Broadcast Screen feature. Save everyone’s presentations in your class files to re-watch at the end of the school year. Don’t hibernate, celebrate! It can be tempting to avoid student engagement during the last few days before break by showing a movie, assigning work sheets or doing craft projects. Instead, help foster your students’ sense of celebration and set them up for a positive start to the year ahead.

Recent news articles on Trump University and Legacy (formerly Tigrent) have brought up the question of the value of ultra-expensive real estate “personal coaching”, which can sometimes run the student $25,000 to $100,000. To any outsider, this would seem like an absurd amount. We agree. But if this is way too high, then what amount is fair? A great real estate class should be worth every bit as much as a similar class at Harvard University A single three-unit course at Harvard University runs around $5,000. That’s the number that we feel is the maximum that should be charged. And Harvard’s rate is in-line with most top-tier private colleges. Millions of Americans have established this as the going market rate over years of college attendance. A great real estate class should be taught by someone who has been successful – not some academic Real estate is a trade. It’s a business class. It’s based on real-life practice. As a result, the best teacher would not be an academic who has no greater experience than just thoughts and ideas. Most law school instructors are assumed to have spent at least some time in private practice in the courtroom. A great real estate class should be strong enough that you don’t need personal coaching Can you imagine a competent college telling its graduates “now that regular classes are over and you’ve graduated, you’ll need to pay us another $25,000 per year to put into practice the theories we taught you”? The sign of a great class should be that you have all the material you need to go forward, not just an appetizer for the main course. A great real estate class should pay for itself many times over Of course, the true hallmark of a great real estate class should be that the students buy real estate properly and profit from it. They should have learned the correct way to identify, evaluate, negotiate, perform due diligence on, re-negotiate, finance, and operate, and should have all the tools they need to succeed. They should leave ready to buy deals immediately, and to make money with them. Except in those cases where the student puts out no effort, it should be an insult to the college if the student does not succeed. The correct pricing of a real estate class is no mystery. It’s already been established by the traditional college class cost metric. That being said, it’s insulting to believe that $25,000+ in personal coaching is reasonable. That money should be used for the down payment on a property, which is the whole point of the class to begin with.	<urn:uuid:eea4332d-d532-48d2-9456-8f65be5e805b>	CC-MAIN-2023-50	https://www.creuniversity.com/articles/how-much-is-a-real-estate-class-really-worth	2023-12-02T09:30:13Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100381.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202073445-20231202103445-00666.warc.gz	en	0.964699	557
Do you know what is on your company’s VTO, or Vision/Traction Organizer? The VTO is a two-page document Gene Wickman and his team at EOS Worldwide created to help C-level leaders bring focus and clarity to what their company will become and how it will get there. This document takes both a short (one-quarter) and long-term view (10 years) of where the company is going. For the vision to be effective, leadership from across the company will need to buy-in and work together to move the business in the desired direction. One of the major points Mr. Wickman makes is that a firm has three functional areas – sales, delivery, and administration – and if one of these areas is weak or the areas do not work together, the company will struggle to fulfill its vision. Thus, it is important for each leader to recognize and understand how their actions will support or impact other areas of the company. As a technology consulting firm, the role we are most interested in, is that of the Chief Information Officer (CIO). This role continues to evolve and is much more than just the day-to-day oversight of IT operations and ensuring that all of the computers work. In this day and age, CIOs are viewed as key contributors to formulating organizational goals as the storage, transmission, and analysis of electronic information grows and permeates all functions of a business. Thus, this position should be included in the leadership team as you develop your company’s plans. This person (or an outside firm as a virtual CIO) will be critical to formulating and executing the VTO. He or she will help you understand what is possible and make the right technology investments across all the areas of the company. Without going into too much detail, the EOS process has six major steps, with the first two being extremely critical to your success when working with a CIO. You want the right person in this role. - Vision: Whom you hire or promote depends entirely on how well they align with your culture and values. Your values and goals are infused in everything you do with all employees until everyone is in 100% alignment. - Right People, Right Seat: You want someone who shares your vision who also a) gets the job, b) wants the job, and c) has the capacity to do the job. - If you do not have the right person for your company in the CIO role it will make it difficult to execute on the vision you have for the company and follow through with the rest of the steps needed for success. Further, it is likely that the individual will lag in one area, not provide as much output as you need, or there will be detrimental friction with the company culture. The next four steps are: - Data Never Lies: You need data, not gut instincts, to measure and make decisions. Fundamentally, a CIO can help you obtain this information (but getting this data is not why your CIO hire is important) - Solve Your Primary Issues: You will learn to quickly identify, discuss, and solve any issues you encounter – which will need a culture that promotes transparency and a shared vision. When issues are first identified they are often the symptom of other issues that impact or are impacted by multiple parts of the company. With technology located in many aspects of a company’s operations, it is likely it will play a role in the issue or issue resolution. - Create Consistent and Efficient Processes: Define and document internal processes for everything from hiring to managing projects - Traction: A company vision without traction is like a car without tires. The “tires” in this case are two simple, but immensely powerful tools. Rocks and a meeting pulse. The rocks are short-term 90-day objectives that each member of your leadership team will work on. An example might be the Human Resources department’s rollout of a new applicant tracker system (ATS). While this initiative may not be owned by the CIO, they (and the rest of the management team) will assist in both the planning and execution. Part of the planning will take place in the weekly and quarterly meetings – the meeting pulse. In these meetings, the leadership team will discuss issues (see step 4). Oftentimes, you will find that the stated issue will be the symptom of an underlying problem; thus, it is important to get to the heart of the matter and see how the issue impacts all of your departments or how all of the departments can contribute to resolving it. At the end of the day, the company leadership needs to work as a team. Each person will have their strengths to contribute. If you are all are not on the same page with the vision or the culture it will be a grind or a struggle to execute the corporate vision even if some of the best and brightest minds are on your team. Given that your CIO will touch all aspects of your business and that companies use technology more and more in daily operations – it is critical that you have the right person in the right seat. At the end of the day, you need a healthy, focused leadership team and organization that makes continual progress towards achieving everything in its vision.	<urn:uuid:40f94aab-3495-40bf-a59d-6f3200562534>	CC-MAIN-2022-40	https://anant.us/blog/cio-eos/	2022-09-29T17:05:33Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335362.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20220929163117-20220929193117-00618.warc.gz	en	0.959348	1,082

Historically known for his distinct voice and drug-reference based lyrics, Cage officially makes his The DJBooth debut with new promo single, The Void. The dark, heavy synth instrumental, courtesy of former High and Mighty collaborator DJ Mighty Mi, lays the groundwork for a new gothic fave amongst those who appreciate the EDM sound. Assisted by Canadian singer/songwriter Sherry St. Germain, Cage’s lyrics suggest that his previous heavy drug usage and anger remain buried in his soul and can be summoned on command when needed. He’s obviously still able channel his lifelong trials and in the process rekindling a flame from his previous works. I will admit that even after ten listens, Void will most likely leave listeners scratching their heads (yet nodding along with the beat), wondering why they actually like it. Answer? Regardless of what you do or don’t know about Cage, The Void is a solid effort on all fronts. Stay locked in with The DJBooth for more mind-spinning music from Cage.

Here’s what we’ll cover… - The BIGGEST challenge I’m facing right now (not conversions), how I uncovered this problem and 5 ways I’m fixing it… - Why I’m purposely DELAYING my buying cycle (and how I’m supplementing revenue in the meantime…) - How I just tripled the average order value of a first-time buyer… - My simple (but rarely used) plan for turning stubborn buyers into first-time customers… - How I plan on targeting BUYER traffic instead of “lookey loo’s”… Listen To The Podcast! Hey guys and girls. Jeremy Reeves here and I want to welcome you back to yet another episode of the Sales Funnel mastery podcast. I know I have been kind of hiding in the bushes a little bit lately. So I want to let you know that I am back. The last few monthsâ€¦ Pretty much the whole summer; since June or so, I havenâ€™t really been around very much. I’ve been kind of non-existent. So I want you to let you know that I am back. I will explain everything in this episode. Basically, I bought a new business in June and for the last two months or so Iâ€™ve really been burying my head in that new business getting the funnel in place. Iâ€™m still not done yet but I decided to come back and poke my head out of the weeds a little bit here. So fear not. I am back to help you grow your business and do all that fun stuff. Today, what we are actually going to talk about, which can be really cool I think, is some real world ways that I’m actually increasing revenue to the new business. This is all real world stuff. Itâ€™s not hypothetical. Itâ€™s not mumbo jumbo or the crap that you normally hear. This is what I’m actually doing in my actual business that I just bought my psy business. So let me just get right into it instead of making you wait. Number one: When I bought this business – itâ€™s getting roughly a half a million visitors a year to the website. So, tons and tons of traffic, but not all that much is going to the actual sales page. So itâ€™s one of those scenarios where youâ€™re getting tons of traffic but not tons of buyers. A good amount of buyers but compared to the level of traffic itâ€™s definitely not where it should be. So, essentially Iâ€™m getting a lot of people, getting free content because the website is mainly SEO driven through articles and blogs. There is no paid traffic yet. I’m going to be putting that in place once I get the funnel all figured out and I find out what my average customer is worth. But as of right now there is a lot of traffic going to, mostly blog post pages, not all that much to the actual sales pages where I’m making money. And obviously thatâ€™s the important part. So three things that Iâ€™m doing, there is more, and just so you know, I am going to put together a really, really comprehensive video of everything that I am doing for this new business to grow sales. And I am going to do it as a one video product. I donâ€™t know what I’m going to price it at yet. But it will be inexpensive and worth way more money than I’m going to charge for it. You actually get to see exactly what I would do: For example, if it was a client, I’m just going to pretend that this is a client site, but itâ€™s all going to be real world stuff and all that. So I think the video would be a lot easier so I could actually show you what I’m doing. Iâ€™ll be making a PowerPoint and go into specific detail and all that kind of stuff, which is really hard to do in a podcast. So today is going to be a summary. For that summary, the first problem is, thereâ€™s tons of traffic, not much to the sales page. So what do you do about it? What I want to do is to get more people seeing that sales page. The sales page converts at a fairly decent rate – a couple percent, 3%, something like that. I might have to check my stats. I havenâ€™t checked it in a couple weeks. Three percent or so, which I pretty much doubled already since I bought the site. Simply by, you know, he had the sales letter in the old optimized price. It was like this long form thing. It was very ugly and that sort of thing. So I put it in optimized price 2.0. I made it look really nice. It flows better. I actually took out tons of copy. I probably reduced the length of it by probably two thirds. So I’m essentially selling them more on the blog and less on the sales of itself. Theyâ€™re not going to test that against the longer form. I just havenâ€™t had time to actually rewrite it yet. So thatâ€™s one thing actually. More Affiliate Sales Another thing is that once I get my funnel in place, I’m going to be going after more affiliates. Why? Because theyâ€™re going to be sending traffic directly to the sales page. Theyâ€™re not going to be sending them to blog posts or interviews or anything like that. Theyâ€™re going to be sending them directly to the sales page. So that by itself, I can probably double the amount of people going to the actual sales page itself. And therefore double front-end profits within a couple of weeks. So that will be an easy one once I start with that. Increasing The Number Of Optins The second one is that Iâ€™m increasing the number of Optin. So Iâ€™m doing split tests. Iâ€™m actually using OptinMonster which is my preferred Optin tool like Exit Pop, you know, pop for your website. I do want to say that I absolutely, one billion percent do not recommend Pippity or PopUp Domination. I had absolute nightmares with both of those companies. They have the absolute worst support I have ever seen in my entire life. So I’m actually going out of my way to make sure that people donâ€™t use them. They are absolutely just disgustingly horrible. So I started using OptinMonster. That was the third one I tested and I love it. There are more options, actually at the time Iâ€™m recording this, which is August 18, 2014, theyâ€™re actually launching a 2.0 soon and thereâ€™s actually going to be more features. Their support is amazing. The product works better than Pippity or PopUp Domination so I definitely recommend OptinMonster and Iâ€™ll put a link in the show notes for this. That will be my affiliate link but I highly recommend it over the other two. And if youâ€™re using the other two, then change, seriously, because they are absolutely terrible. So I’m split testing different lead magnets, different offers on different pages, that kind of thing. I’m just putting more chance to Optin all over the website so on the homepage which I’m actually redoing, I’m putting it in the blog posts themselves so for example I looked at some of the highest trafficked blog posts and in those blog posts I rewrote a couple tings to add links to Optins and to the sales page and stuff like that. So that by itself will get more people to the sales page. So thatâ€™s another one. I think thatâ€™s number three or four if I’m counting right. So with the Optins, I’m getting more Optins. And Iâ€™ve almost tripled that number that number already within the first two months or so – month and a half really. So thatâ€™s cool. And then, obviously, from those Optins then youâ€™re going to prospect, auto-responder and in that productâ€¦prospectâ€¦auto-responder and then sending them back to the sales page. So thatâ€™s another one. Adding A Retargeting Campaign And then, the last one I’m doing for this, and this is just kind of the basic stuff that I’m getting out of the way first. I’m going to start re targeting people. So, you know, getting roughly forty thousand visitors a month. A little bit over to the whole website, most of that is blog posts. So, to not let people know that there is a product there, because a lot of people are just going to read the blog post and leave. So to not let people know that there is a product would be little insane. So I’m going to test a re-targeting campaign that essentially just goes and make people aware that there is a campaign there; or that there is product there. And Iâ€™ll test something, general, something basic in the beginning to see if there is ROI and if there is and ROI then thatâ€™s great. And then Iâ€™ll keep testing, keep tweaking, keep authorizing it. So thatâ€™s what I’m doing to get more people to the actual money page. To the sales page itself. Triple Average Order Value Another problem that Iâ€™m having is that the sales page is actually a low-ticket front-end offer. Okay. So the sales page, there is two main products. As of right now; I’m going to add more but as of right now there is $27 product and then $147 product so the $27 product is a men style blog website. So the $27 product is essentially PDF, itâ€™s more of like a basic beginners version of how to dress better. And the $147 product is a video of course. So it goes into way more detail and you know, the previous owners made videos and you can actuallyâ€¦ you know, they holdâ€¦ say for example jeans. So they show you how a jean should fit so you can actually see it on video and theyâ€™ll pull out the fabric and say that this shouldnâ€™t be able to pull out this much. And kind of squeeze and say okay, you shouldnâ€™t be able to squeeze that. Or if itâ€™s too tight theyâ€™ll say, okay, the zipper shouldnâ€™t bunch up like this, whatever the case may be. So the video course goes into way more depth. Itâ€™s more for people who really want to understand style and really want to look better. So a lot of people donâ€™t buy. There are very, very few. I think, oh my God, I can probably count on my hand how many people have bought that and not the first one. So this is a market where they really need to build their trust. It takes a lot of contact to build trust with the prospect so you have to have a low-end offer upfront to build that trust and then start selling them the higher end stuff which I’m going to get to in a few minutes. So what I did in the beginning, and maybe long term this hurts a tiny bit or whatever, but I just held a weeklong sale where, essentially, since Iâ€™m getting all these $27 buyers and not $147 buyers because, actually, for a reason Iâ€™ll tell you in a minute. I held a sale where I had both of the products, the $27 product and the $147 product on sale for $97. So itâ€™s like $176 or something regularly and it was on sale for $97. Now, I’m not usually a fan of doing discounted prices because it kills your margins and all that. But this is all digital, so the margins are enormous. You know, 95% plus, whatever it is. So I wanted to do that and plus I wanted to generate a bit of revenue because I want to get my capital back that I spent on it because I didnâ€™t take out any loans or anything. I just paid cash for the business. And so I wanted to get that capital back as soon as I can so that I can buy another business or whatever. Just keep it going and buy something bigger or whatever the case may be. So I held that sale and essentially tripled the average order value. So instead of only getting all these $27 sales, now, for the last week Iâ€™ve been getting $97 sales. And I pretty much did about a month and a half worth of sales in a week. So thatâ€™s pretty cool. I made 15% of my money back within a week, so not too bad. So, problem number two is having the low front-end offer. Getting More Customers Next thing is that the product lends itself to higher offers, which I mentioned before. You kind of need to build the trust with them first before theyâ€™re going to buy that higher end offer. So, couple things that I’m doing for that. Number one is, I’m really focusing on getting people to buy that initial $27 product. In the future I’m going to test a couple $7 reports. Iâ€™ll get into this later. In fact, let me just switch really quick. Instead of doing this let me go to a different one. Because I’m looking at my notes here and I think this lends itself to this other one first. So the third problem is, they ate hard to become buyers but theyâ€™re an easier sell after that. So I figured out by looking at my stats, looking at my analytics, looking at all my metrics and stuff. All of the sales pretty much – I mean like 98% of the sales of the higher end product – are coming from existing customers. So that tells me that essentially, itâ€™s hard to get them to become buyers, but once they become buyers itâ€™s an easier sell because Iâ€™ve gained their trust. So two things I’m doing with that. Obviously, I’m rewriting the sales pages and all that to increase conversion, thatâ€™s kind of a given. I actually havenâ€™t gotten there, believe it or not because I’m doing some of this other stuff and thatâ€™s kind of a bigger challenge to tackle, so the two things that Iâ€™m doing is: Number one: Thirty day prospect auto-responder. You know, itâ€™s all automated. And then I’m going to be implementing. I already have it written out. I just have to get it implemented. I’m going to be implementing a four-day sale. I’m going to do this all automated so the join one of my list. They see the lead magnet whatever, they join the list, and they go thirty days prospect auto-responder. If they donâ€™t buy within those thirty days they get, itâ€™s followed by a four-day sale so, you know, like a four-day promotion whatever. And thatâ€™s going to essentially entice them to get the first product to build that trust, right, to get them to become buyers. And then, Iâ€™ll put them in the buyersâ€™ sequence; sell them the coaching or the video programs, all that kind of stuff. So thatâ€™s number 1. Number 2 is Iâ€™m going to test out a couple $7 reports. I havenâ€™t written these yet. Itâ€™s kind of in the works, you know, Iâ€™m not able to make a huge amount of progress because Iâ€™m working with my private clients. Iâ€™m creating new stuff for the www.jeremyreeves.com site, you know all of that. So I have kind of both businesses now. So my time is split. I only really have about an hour or two a day to put into Kinowear, which is www.kinowear.com. Itâ€™s the new business if I havenâ€™t mentioned that yet. Iâ€™m kind of taking these step by step so itâ€™s taking a little while to get it all this implemented. Iâ€™m sure everyone listening to this has that problem. So those are the two things. The big problem is itâ€™s hard for them to become customers but itâ€™s easier for them to become repeat customers and thatâ€™s again very common. Lowering The Barrier Of Entry To Become A Customer So what Iâ€™m doing essentially is thinking of different ways that I can lower the barrier of entry, get them to become a customer. Iâ€™m doing that through $7 reports and sales. And within that 4-day sale, there is a whole sub-funnel within that, which I canâ€™t really get into because it is way too advanced and complicated. It would take way too long. It would be kind of hard to explain. Number 4, the fourth problem â€“ this is what I was going on before â€“ is that the product lends itself to higher offers but not for a while. So number 1, itâ€™s hard to get them as a customer. Number 2, theyâ€™re easier to become customers but not immediately. So I found out that a lot of these customers â€“ and again, this is through â€“ you should do surveys. This is how I found this out, through surveys of the buyers. I essentially asked them why they bought the lower-end product but not the higher-end product. And most of them, a huge, huge, huge majority, said â€œyou know listen, I am planning on buying it, I just canâ€™t get there yet. I need more time to be able to actually go through the first product and implement it and see the results and that kind of thing, before I move on to the video course which is the more advanced offer.â€ So, I have buyers that basically want to buy the second product, but in this particular case, the buying cycle is a little bit longer than usual. So what Iâ€™m doing is number 1, Iâ€™m going to wait a few months before really up-selling them too much. So in the buyersâ€™ sequence, once they buy the initial product, I am going to tell them about the other product. I have the up-sell in place for the higher-end product and, that kind of stuff. Some people will buy both at the same time. But the larger majority wants to wait a few months so they can start implementing the first product before buying the second product. I hope youâ€™re following me still. You might need to listen to this episode a few times because Iâ€™m really getting into a lot of deep stuff here. In fact, I do hope youâ€™ll listen to it a few times. So what Iâ€™m doing is waiting a couple months before really up-selling too much. So they come into the buyersâ€™ sequence, Iâ€™m telling them about the second product but itâ€™s kind of like a very, very soft, like, â€˜hey just so you know itâ€™s there.â€™ Itâ€™s not really a pitch for it at all. Iâ€™m going to wait a few months before doing that. What Iâ€™m doing instead is number 1 – Iâ€™m kind of getting them fully invested in this whole â€“ because itâ€™s really a lifestyle change. This is just for guys but it pretty much applies to girls too if youâ€™re listening to this. Letâ€™s say that you donâ€™t dress all that well. You donâ€™t really put all that much time into thinking about it, and that kind of thing. Itâ€™s not something like when you get dressed, you donâ€™t sit there and plan your outfit or anything like that. I really never used to either, and then once I started doing that, the difference is absolutely, amazingly profound. I highly recommend it by the way. You should go to www.kinowear.com and actually sign up for one of the lists and buy the product, because it really is really, really good. But Iâ€™m getting them fully invested, because Iâ€™m taking guys who are at the beginning stages. They know they want to dress better, they know why they should dress better â€“ more success, they feel better, more girls – all that kind of stuff. And they are at the beginning stages of it. So I realize that and Iâ€™m kind of getting them at the very beginning. I want to get them fully invested as fast as possible. So Iâ€™m telling them, instead of selling the higher-end offers Iâ€™m selling affiliate offers. So Iâ€™m showing them different ways. So for example, one way to look better â€“ all these guys want to look better, thatâ€™s the number one thing is they want to look better. One of the ways to do that is to lose weight. I have affiliate offers for losing weight because anybody who loses weight will immediately look better. Another thing is getting more form-fitted clothes, some more custom-fitted clothes. So I have affiliate offers going to, for example, custom-fitted dress shirts and suits and stuff like that. That again, by itself, will make you look better. Even if youâ€™re wearing the same clothes, if it fits better and youâ€™re more lean youâ€™re going to look ten times better. Another thing is things like, just the aesthetics like your teeth. So I tell them they should whiten their teeth and I have a link to Amazon for teeth whitening strips like Crest Whitening Strips. I have a thing for making your face look better. So I have one of the affiliate offers. It is like a little a facial exfoliator thing. Any the girls listening in probably know what Iâ€™m talking about. Itâ€™s like this little brush that, instead of washing your face, you use this brush. And, kind of think of it like, a toothbrush on your face but not quite as hard. The bristles are a lot more soft and it exfoliates your face. So stuff like that, little stuff like that – teeth whitening, cleaning your face, getting in better shape, better fitting clothes. All this stuff really gets them completely involved and more importantly gets them results fast. So a lot of the stuff in the courses takes a few weeks or a few months to really get it and really go out shopping for new clothes. It takes them a little while to really get the actual results theyâ€™re looking for. This stuff gets them results fast, which builds the trust with me, which is what Iâ€™m going for – to get them to buy the higher-level program. Adding Coaching Services And then the third thing is that I am also supplementing with coaching. So I found a group of guys. They do coaching. In fact these guys are the owners, the original creators of this website. So they built it and then they sold it to this other guy and the other guy sold it to me. So I went back to the original owners and they have their own coaching business â€“ like a style coach. I made a deal with them where I sell them leads and we split the revenue. So they get more coaching clients, I get more revenue because I get a commission for each client that I send to them. By the way, if there are any guys here that want to get some style coaching. These guys are ridiculously awesome at it. So, just get in touch with me – just a little plug for myself there. So thatâ€™s another thing that Iâ€™m doing. Essentially Iâ€™m pushing back, purposefully pushing back the buying cycle just a little bit. Iâ€™m pushing it back and delaying the sale because itâ€™s going to increase sales a few months from now. If I push the video of course too much now, they would lose interest on it and kind of just push it away in their minds. So thatâ€™s why Iâ€™m doing it. Now the last problem that Iâ€™m having is that out of the visitors – and I already mentioned this – out of the visitors that are going to the website, Iâ€™m getting 40/45,000 unique visitors a month to the website. Most of them are kind of looky-loos. Theyâ€™re freebie sneakers. They just want to just read blog posts. Theyâ€™re not interested in buyingâ€¦ blah, blah, blah. And thatâ€™s pretty typical of people who find you on search engines and all that kind of stuff. Theyâ€™re not looking to buy anything. Theyâ€™re not in a buying mode. Theyâ€™re looking up how to dress better and they find me in a search engine. Theyâ€™re not looking up something like, what course is out there to help me dress better, something like that. So the buying intent isnâ€™t there. They arenâ€™t coming to the website looking to buy. Obviously a certain percentage buys anyway, because you know theyâ€™re buyers and they see the sales page and blah, blah, blah. So what Iâ€™m doing to counteract that is Iâ€™m going to go out and, obviously you know Iâ€™ll have paid traffic. Iâ€™m going to do that eventually once I get my sales funnel in place and once I get to test it a little bit to make sure that Iâ€™m at least breaking even with every new customer, because thatâ€™s the way to take over a market basically. So thatâ€™s the plan for maybe 2/3 months from now. I just want to get the funnel in place, get the kinks out, that kind of thing. I apologize if you keep hearing all these little IM beeps. Iâ€™m getting about a thousand text messages right now so I apologize if you hear that. Anyway, what Iâ€™m going to do, one of the ways that Iâ€™m going to start testing my funnel is, Iâ€™m going to start targeting buyers without actually paying anything. So the way Iâ€™m going to do that is Iâ€™m going to — and Iâ€™m not going to give any specifics here because it wouldnâ€™t matter too much. I want you to think of this in terms of how you can do it for your business. Iâ€™m going to give you kind of the eagleâ€™s eye view of this one. So what Iâ€™m doing is Iâ€™m going to go out and sit down, have a cigar, have a glass of scotch or something, and just sit outside and think of, â€˜Okay, where are these people spending money? My buyers, where else are they buying from? Where are they spending their money?â€™ Not, where are they visiting? Not, where are they prospects. â€˜Where are they becoming buyers?â€™ And then Iâ€™m going to do a few things. I havenâ€™t actually made the plans for this yet. This is probably about a month away or so. Iâ€™m going to do a few things to essentially create some joint ventures with the people that are servicing my buyers. So again, I am getting a lot of prospects to my website. I donâ€™t want prospects, I want buyers. So how do I find buyers? I go to where people in my market are already spending money. That is the key; theyâ€™re already spending money. So instead of getting traffic that 98% are prospects, Iâ€™m getting traffic that 100% are buyers somewhere. So thatâ€™s one of my things that Iâ€™m going to be doing. Thatâ€™s not really getting visitors directly to the â€“ actually it might get people directly to the sales page. But more importantly Iâ€™m targeting buyers and not prospects. I just want you to think about how you can do that for your business because the difference is absolutely amazing. I might be getting, say, 2 to 3 percent of a conversion rate overall. If I do something like that just spent money. Letâ€™s say they just spent money on actual clothes and now I do a joint venture with somebody to teach them how to dress better. Theyâ€™re going to be interested in that because they just spent money on clothes. So I can transition that into â€˜Hey, hereâ€™s why you should take my course.â€™ Iâ€™m going to guess that the conversion rate going from prospects to actual people who just spent money is probably going to take it from, I would say 3% or whatever itâ€™s at now â€“ I donâ€™t know. It might be around 3% or something like that â€“ to I would say somewhere between 2 to 4 times thatâ€¦ somewhere between 6 to 12 percent. Thatâ€™s my guess. I obviously donâ€™t know. Iâ€™m not saying thatâ€™s going to happen to your business. Thatâ€™s my opinion on whatâ€™s going to happen just from doing that in other markets, in my market, that kind of thing. It kind of differs. And it also depends on how much money they just spent. If I target a customer who just spent $1,000, they are not going to care spending $27 on a book to teach them how to dress better. If I target people who just spent $20, then the likelihood of them buying is a lot less because theyâ€™re not as high-quality buyers. Alright, so thatâ€™s pretty much it. I hope you got a lot out of this podcast. I feel like this should be something that I charge for by itself. What Iâ€™m going to be doing is Iâ€™m going to be putting this and a lot more, and a lot more detail and that kind of stuff, into an actual video. And again, this is what I talked about in the beginning. I have absolutely no idea when Iâ€™m going to do this. If you email me and you think this is a really cool idea, feel free to email me and kind of push me towards it. Iâ€™m going to kind of gauge it in how much interest there is in it, because itâ€™s going to take me probably at least a day to get the product done and all that kind of stuff. A dayâ€™s worth of time is a big deal right now. So, shoot me an email let me know. If youâ€™re not the show notes of this page, visit the show notes. Iâ€™ll have them in the link. If youâ€™re on your iPhone or whatever, click the info button or whatever, the description, and youâ€™ll have the show notes page there. So thatâ€™s it. Let me know what you thought of this. Again, let me know if youâ€™re interested in me doing the video. Again, itâ€™s not going to be anything expensive, $97 at the very most. Most likely less than that, I really donâ€™t know right now. But let me know what you think. I hope you enjoyed this episode. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, you know – anything like that. Make sure you share it with your friends and I will talk to you next time.	<urn:uuid:350a6ac8-8d18-4c1d-9caa-a02a1a0a253c>	CC-MAIN-2018-51	http://www.jeremyreeves.com/ep17/	2018-12-14T13:16:54Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376825728.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20181214114739-20181214140239-00086.warc.gz	en	0.968632	7,088
If you’ve been thinking about trying cannabidiol — more commonly known as CBD — welcome to the rapidly growing club. Interest in CBD as a treatment for pain, insomnia, anxiety and other complaints has been rising steadily ever since Oregon and other states legalized cannabis (marijuana). CBD is one of many natural chemical compounds found in cannabis, but unlike the plant’s other well-known chemical, THC, it has no psychoactive or mind-altering effects. Instead, CBD owes its popularity to its therapeutic effects. Before you try it, however, be aware that it carries potential risks, as well — especially if you take other medications or have liver problems. To date, the only FDA-approved use of CBD is a prescription medication called Epidiolex, which treats seizure disorders. Other over-the-counter uses, while widely promoted, need further study to support their claims. These include the following: With its naturally sedating effects, CBD is used by many people as a sleep aid. Anxiety and depression CBD has shown promising results for many people with these issues. Pain and inflammation Some patients with arthritis and cancer find CBD helpful in reducing these symptoms. Much remains unknown about how CBD works, its therapeutic benefits and its safety. For your own safety, it’s important to be aware of the known risks. They include the following: CBD liver harm CBD can be harmful to the liver. People with liver impairment should be cautious or avoid it. CBD medication interactions Because of its effect on the liver and liver enzymes, CBD can interfere with many medications, either increasing their levels in the blood to potentially toxic levels, or decreasing levels and reducing their effectiveness. Certain seizure medications, antidepressants, muscle relaxers, and drugs that can suppress the central nervous system (such as benzodiazepines, sleeping pills and opioids), among many other medications, may have strong interactions. It’s important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using CBD to make sure you’re not taking a medication that will interact badly with it. CBD drowsiness and other side effects Because CBD causes drowsiness on its own, it also increases the drowsiness caused by other medications, including antihistamines (such as Benadryl), benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan, Valium), antipsychotics, antidepressants and opioids, as well as alcohol and supplements such as kava, melatonin and St. John’s Wort. CBD’s sedating effects are similar to alcohol, so it’s not a good idea to use it if you need to drive or to do anything that requires mental alertness. Other common side effects of CBD include diarrhea and changes in appetite and mood. CBD safety and regulation Over-the-counter CBD products are not regulated by the FDA. Although most are extensively tested, there is still a possibility of error (such as the mix-up reported last September in The Oregonian), so be wary that products might not be 100% CBD as labeled. Considering CBD? Talk to your doctor or pharmacist first If you have questions about how your medications will interact with CBD, reach out to your doctor or local pharmacist for help. Pharmacists are great resources and can help come up with alternative therapies if CBD is not a good option for you.	<urn:uuid:0c6d5b7c-b0ad-4bed-a8ca-52bd6c642182>	CC-MAIN-2022-40	https://www.theportlandclinic.com/cbd-might-not-mix-with-your-meds/	2022-09-25T14:46:44Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334579.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925132046-20220925162046-00046.warc.gz	en	0.949275	716
Email This Story : Exiled reporters working for the Democratic Voice of Burma will be granted visas to carry out assignments inside the country for the first time since the organisation was founded nearly two decades ago. Long a target of intimidation and punishment by the Burmese regime, DVB has been forced to operate from offices based in Norway, Thailand and India. Staff who travel to the country have risked lengthy prison sentences, while its network of in-country journalists have carried out their work underground. But Information Minister Kyaw Hsan has said that criminalisation of the exiled media group will begin to ease, starting with permission for staff living outside of the country to enter on five-day journalist visa. DVB chief editor Aye Chan Naing on Wednesday met with Kyaw Hsan in the capital Naypyidaw. The DVB co-founder’s five-day trip, which ends tomorrow, is the first time he has visited Burma since fleeing in the wake of the 1988 uprising. “The [information] minister agrees for our reporters to come and collect news officially,” Aye Chan Naing said on the phone from Rangoon. “And that one reporter of ours will come regularly and for the reporter to apply [for a visa] and to go through the regular process.” While domestic reporters remain at risk of punishment, Kyaw Hsan said the government will “consider as soon as possible” the legal status of the media organisation, which would include ending criminalisation of all reporters and allowing DVB to set up a bureau inside the country. Aye Chan Naing is also due to meet with the head of Burma’s notorious censor board, Tint Swe, and presidential advisor Nay Zin Latt before he leaves on Friday. He said that DVB is considered “an essential news department” among the officials and media figures he spoke with this week. DVB began in 1992 as a radio station operating out of Oslo, Norway, with a rudimentary bureau in the Manerplaw region of Karen state. Since then it has gradually expanded, and in 2005 became the first non-state media group to broadcast television inside Burma. Its work during the September 2007 monk-led uprising formed the focus of the Oscar-nominated Burma VJ documentary. The film depicted the risks involved in filming undercover in Burma at a time when the junta held a zero-tolerance policy towards independent media. At one point, 17 video journalists working for DVB were in prison in Burma, some serving sentences of more than 60 years, but all were freed in an amnesty of political prisoners in January this year. Aye Chan Naing said that despite the widely-lauded reforms of the new government, “quite a lot of things still need to be done”. In the Rangoon township he grew up in, “the life of normal people is not very different from 23 years ago, before we left”.	<urn:uuid:23031d1b-d7ce-44b1-a364-c5798452a26e>	CC-MAIN-2016-36	http://www.dvb.no/news/burma-drops-ban-on-dvb-journalists/20516	2016-08-25T11:23:01Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982293195.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823195813-00145-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.968494	615
Up to 29 Dunedin churches will be analysed by international seismologists and engineers as part of a nationwide research project aimed at gauging their seismic fitness in the event of an earthquake. The two-year project, funded by the Earthquake Commission, will involve scientists from New Zealand, Italy and Portugal developing a seismic vulnerability index for unreinforced masonry churches and historic buildings to help with decisions on retrofitting to prevent damage in future Initially, they will use data from 48 unreinforced masonry churches in Canterbury, which suffered damage in the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. It will be compared with structural data from 29 Dunedin churches, including Knox Church, St Paul's Cathedral and Sacred Heart Church, as well as 11 churches in Wellington and 50 churches in Auckland. Project leader Tatiana Goded, of GNS Science, said there was no standard or systematic way to assess the earthquake vulnerability of New Zealand churches at the moment. The project would be based on a proven method used in Europe to assess the vulnerability of churches and monuments, she ''However, we will need to calibrate this method to ensure it is accurate for New Zealand conditions.'' University of Canterbury civil and natural resources engineering lecturer and group spokeswoman Sonia Giovinazzi said the geometric features of Dunedin's churches would be compared with those in Christchurch to identify weak links in the designs which may cause them to collapse in an The data would be used to create a ''1 to 5 type'' index where type 1 churches were relatively vulnerable, and type 5 churches were the least at risk, she said. It was hoped the data would also provide information on how to mitigate against those vulnerabilities. The project was the first step towards assessing all historic buildings in the country, to preserve New Zealand's cultural and historical heritage, Dr Giovinazzi said. The group was focusing on churches initially because their height, shape and dimension made them particularly vulnerable in earthquakes, she said. If funding permitted, the group would continue the project to look at buildings such as the Dunedin Railway Station, University of Otago buildings, Larnach Castle and other heritage buildings around New Zealand. Dr Goded said churches in New Zealand's four main centres had been selected to ensure a fair cross section of seismic scenarios in New Zealand, but at this stage GNS Science has released the names of only three churches per city that it will be researching. The project leaders declined to supply the names of the other churches without first obtaining permission from their	<urn:uuid:67af8eb7-0909-4625-b353-0e4148e5d081>	CC-MAIN-2015-22	http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/292014/churches-quake-project	2015-05-28T04:14:39Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207929230.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113209-00078-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.953092	561
Funds Received From Anniversary (Chicago, IL, USA) I'm not sure how to handle the funds received in our Pastor's Anniversary. Our pastor does not receive a salary and so the monies received during the Anniversary are generally designated as a love offering for the pastor. Most of the offerings received for the pastor are checks written out to the church. How or can we deposit the money in the church account and write the pastor a check? And if so, would it be considered taxable income for the pastor?Answer Yes it would be taxable income for your pastor. With the checks made out to the church, you will have to deposit them and write out a check to your pastor and include it in your wage reporting for him. You would also NOT issue contribution receipts to the donors if the contributions were designated for the pstor.Church Accounting Package www.freechurchaccounting.com	<urn:uuid:b1b21413-446d-4ca8-8b5c-075d5c1de00a>	CC-MAIN-2017-30	http://www.freechurchaccounting.com/funds-received-from-anniversary.html	2017-07-25T08:38:45Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549425117.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20170725082441-20170725102441-00283.warc.gz	en	0.975627	185

This focus idea is explored through: Contrasting student and scientific views Student everyday experiences At this level, students are expected to 'explain the behaviour and properties of materials in terms of their constituent particles and the forces holding them together’ (VELS standards Level 6). However, the fact that students may be able to draw the usual static arrangements of particles in solids, liquids and gases does not mean that they hold a fully particulate view of matter. Research evidence suggests that many students at this age and older still hold a number of alternative conceptions about particles which prove difficult to extinguish. They often lack an appreciation of the very small size of particles, attribute macroscopic properties to microscopic particles, have difficulty appreciating the motion of particles in all states of matter and have problems understanding forces between particles. Research: Driver (1987) Many students who appreciate that matter is particulate still retain some former views and consider that particles can change their form (solid to liquid), explode, burn, expand, change shape and colour or shrink. Students visualise atoms, molecules and ions to be little ball-like objects (perhaps because of the way the information has been presented) and this contributes to them confusing the properties of the particles with the macroscopic nature of the materials that they make up. Research: Happs (1980) These ideas are also explored in the focus idea Macroscopic and microscopic properties. Students frequently fail to understand the dynamic nature of particles; they tend to think of them as static. Students may believe that gas particles are moving slowly in ways similar to what they observe when they see suspended dust particles in a beam of light. Random particle motion in liquids and gases is a difficult concept for students to appreciate. When asked, “Why don't gas particles fall to the bottom of a vessel?” only about 50% of students thought that the particles were in constant motion. Students stated that particles were forced apart (by heat acting as a substance) when gases were heated. When gases condensed to a liquid, many students attributed this to increased attractive forces between particles. Research: Novick & Nussbaum (1981) Students frequently find it difficult to appreciate particle movement in solids and this leads to different conceptions about freezing and melting. Some examples of students’ thinking about the behaviour of particles in a melting ice block are: Student 1: “The particles start to break away from each other because of the rise in temperature. When they have broken away from each other, they turn from a crystal form to a solution form." Student 2: "When a block of ice is taken out of a freezer, the sudden change of temperature reacts on the particles making them decrease in size." Atoms are incredibly small and cannot be seen with even the most powerful light microscope. We use multiple models of atoms to help explain chemical processes and describe their behaviour. In gases the particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other and the side of the container. With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster. The actual average speed of the particles depends on their mass as well as the temperature – heavier particles move more slowly than lighter ones at the same temperature. The oxygen and nitrogen molecules in air at normal room temperature are moving rapidly at between 300 to 400 metres per second. Unlike collisions between macroscopic objects, collisions between particles are perfectly elastic with no loss of kinetic energy. This is very different to most other collisions where some kinetic energy is transformed into other forms such as heat and sound. It is the perfectly elastic nature of the collisions that enables the gas particles to continue rebounding after each collision with no loss of speed. Particles are still subject to gravity and hit the bottom of a container with greater force than the top, thus giving gases weight. If the vertical motion of gas molecules did not slow under gravity, the atmosphere would have long since escaped from the Earth. In liquids, particles are quite close together and move with random motion throughout the container. Particles move rapidly in all directions but collide with each other more frequently than in gases due to shorter distances between particles. With an increase in temperature, the particles move faster as they gain kinetic energy, resulting in increased collision rates and an increased rate of diffusion. In a solid, the particles pack together as tightly as possible in a neat and ordered arrangement. The particles are held together too strongly to allow movement from place to place but the particles do vibrate about their position in the structure. With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and vibrate faster and more strongly. The attractive force in solids need not be stronger than in liquids or gases. For example the forces between solid helium particles (at -270 degrees C) are still very weak. By comparison, the forces between iron vapour particles (requires very high temperatures) are very strong. If you compare different substances that are at the same temperature, then the average kinetic energy of the particles will be the same (i.e. if the particles have the same mass then they will move with the same speed), but the attractive forces in solids will be greater than those in liquids, which will be greater than those in gases. Attractive forces don't get weaker when a substance moves from the solid to the liquid to the gas state, rather the kinetic energy of the particles increases (implying faster motion), allowing them to overcome the attractive forces. Critical teaching ideas - All matter is made up of atoms which are far too small to see even with the most powerful light microscopes. - Particles in all states of matter are in constant motion and this is very rapid at room temperature. A rise in temperature increases the kinetic energy and speed of particles; it does not weaken the forces between them. - The particles in solids vibrate about fixed positions; even at very low temperatures. - Individual particles in liquids and gases have no fixed positions and move chaotically. - The collisions between particles differ from collisions between macroscopic objects in that they are perfectly elastic: i.e. the kinetic energy of the particles remains constant and no energy is transformed into other forms during collisions. Explore the relationships between ideas about movement of particles in the Concept Development Maps - (Chemical Reactions, States of Matter) Students at this level have been exposed to ideas about particles (including atoms, ions and molecules) on a number of occasions, yet many of them retain alternative or naïve views about the nature of particles and these can inhibit their understanding. Aim to adopt teaching strategies that promote dissatisfaction in students with their existing ideas, and promote a scientific conception that is plausible, consistent and useful in a variety of situations. Bring out students’ existing ideas It is important to ascertain the majority of students' prior views at the commencement of teaching to establish their existing understanding of the particle model of matter. Ask students for their ideas about the size of atoms compared with other small things such as cells, bacteria and viruses. This can be done by asking them to draw the relative size of these on the same scale (a scale where a human cell is the size of a page or poster). Bring out the idea that atoms are so much smaller again. Look for other activities that can help reinforce the idea that particles are very, very small. Show students the conventional drawings of particles in solids, liquids and gases and ask them if and how fast they think they are moving. Challenge some existing ideas A number of the issues raised in the focus idea ‘Conservation of mass’ are relevant here and the weighing of a flask containing a small amount of acetone before and after evaporation can be used to challenge students’ ideas about matter being lighter in the gas state and to raise problems with the static drawings of gas particles in texts. For more information see: Conservation of mass. Help students work out some of the ‘scientific’ explanation for themselves With a little encouragement, a class can usually work out by discussion that the particles in gases must be hitting the bottom of the flask harder than the top and hence that they are affected by gravity. This can be extended to explaining why the Earth’s atmosphere thins and eventually ends – the upward vertical motion of the particles ceases. Promote reflection on and clarification of existing ideas and encourage students to identify phenomena not explained by the (currently presented) scientific model or idea As particles cannot be directly observed, much of the teaching involves looking for apparent problems or inadequacies with the sorts of static pictures of particles given in earlier years. Encourage students to identify these and talk through possible explanations. Some prompts: - What holds air particles up? - Are air particles moving faster on a windy day? - How can gases have weight? - Why don’t air molecules fly off into outer space? If needed, raise issues such as these, which will open up discussion, but it is better if the students themselves come up with some. Note that many of the issues are to do with gases – it is their properties that we most need a particulate model to explain. To reinforce the notion of elastic collisions, ask what would happen if collisions between gas particles were not elastic. What practical consequences would there be for people? This can be introduced by dropping different types of balls (such as a soccer ball, a table tennis ball and a bouncy ball (from toy shops)) and explaining that a bouncy ball behaves more like gas particles. Open up discussion via a shared experience Using activities like POE (Predict-Observe-Explain) can help students think about and then question their existing ideas. The following activity will help students consider their ideas about the movement of particles. Set up two pairs of flasks each connected by a valve (see diagrams below). Both pairs have brown nitrogen dioxide in the left hand side flask. The first pair also has air in the right hand side flask. Students are asked to predict what will happen when the valve between the two flasks is opened. The brown colour will spread very slowly from one flask to the other because the particles have frequent collisions with the air particles. The second pair of flasks has brown gas in the left hand side flask but the right hand side flask is completely evacuated. Students are asked again to predict what happens when the valve is opened. The very fast speed of the molecules means that they fill the evacuated flask very quickly. Diffusion experiments can reinforce the idea of movement of particles. These can also be used as POEs. - a crystal of copper sulphate is placed in agar gel; the blue colour slowly diffuses through the gel - a potassium permanganate crystal is placed in a glass and water is slowly added. See the image. Alternatively water is very slowly added to a solution of potassium permanganate in a burette. Brownian motion can also be observed using stereo microscopes when sulphur powder or camphor is sprinkled on the surface of water or ethanol. Practise using and build the perceived usefulness of a scientific model or idea A cotton wool piece soaked in ammonia is placed at one end of a long glass tube with another soaked in hydrochloric acid (HCl) placed at the other end. Eventually a white ring will form where the two gases meet. The two gases are at the same temperature and thus the particles have the same kinetic energy; the ring forms closer to the source of heavier and thus slower moving HCl. This is predicted by a comparison of the relative molecular masses. Including a strip of universal indicator paper in the tube allows the gas diffusion to be tracked. This is an example of a POE where it is useful to draw students’ attention to a relevant piece of science before they make their prediction as it builds usefulness for the concept of relative molecular mass (Mr values). Students need to be given the opportunity to use the scientific conceptions about particle theory in other settings. Ask students to observe and then explain the changes in terms of particle movement in scenarios such as melting wax or plastic, mothballs (naphthalene) vanishing in a cupboard and the scent of perfume spreading through a room.	<urn:uuid:b94c51f8-7757-40f6-91e9-e52a6cf11272>	CC-MAIN-2021-17	https://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/teachers/teachingresources/discipline/science/continuum/pages/particles.aspx	2021-04-19T11:18:46Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038879374.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20210419111510-20210419141510-00639.warc.gz	en	0.943269	2,505

This morning, I stared at my empty cupboard and wondered who had eaten the last of the Special K with Red Berries. (Um, I live alone, so that wasn't such a difficult question.) I opened up the fridge and found the aromatic dregs of a half gallon of milk. I dug in the freezer for a bagel, but only found an ice-encrusted plastic bag. I remembered the Pop-Tarts in the pantry. And then, I remembered that I'd eaten the last one yesterday. So, I did the only thing a girl can do in that situation. I went to Cake Walk. "Good morning," I said, as I straightened the "Walk On In" sign on the door. "Good morning," Melissa answered, pushing my favorite mug toward me. "How did you know I was coming?" "You told me yesterday that you were eating your last Pop-Tart." "I might have gone grocery shopping last night." I tried a smile that I thought might be winsome, but Melissa only shook her head. "Mmmm," I said, looking at the cake plates piled high with breakfast treats. "Is that a Best Date Ever?" Melissa placed the pastry on a small dish. "Do you want some cream cheese frosting with it? I have some left over from the Bunny Bites." It's a wonderful thing, when your best friend in the entire world owns a bakery. I glanced at the calendar over Melissa's shoulder. A giant red X sliced through yesterday. Red marked Melissa's First Date nights. She was determined to find the man of her dreams by the time she turned thirty, a deadline that was rapidly approaching. My baking friend, however, remained undauanted. She continued "rotating her stock", selecting potential mates from such varied sources as FranticDate.com, Washington Today (a magazine read mostly by lawyers, lobbyists, and other upwardly trending intellectuals), and Dedicated Metropolitan Singles, (a do-good group of volunteers who hoped to find love while saving the world.) I nodded toward the X. "Where did you find last night's guy?" Melissa shrugged. "There won't be any second date." I took a sip of the oolong that had cooled to the perfect temperature. "Why not, this time?" OK. Maybe that wasn't the most supportive thing a best friend could say. But let's face it. There was only so much First Date cheerleading that any one friend can do. Even if she cheers in exchange for the most delicious pastry in all of Washington. I smeared a dollop of cream cheese over my breakfast and helped myself to a monstrous bite before waving a hand for Melissa to continue. "We'd emailed back and forth a few times. I had proposed grabbing a cup of coffee. He suggested dinner." I smiled. "Well, that sounds good -- upping the ante." "That's what I thought," Melissa grimaced. "I suggested Sala Thai. You know. Welcoming to vegetarians, to adventurous diners, to sticks in the mud." "You're always thinking, you." "He suggested Tabard Inn." I raised my head from my oolong. Tabard Inn was a funky hotel on a quiet downtown side street. It had a wonderful, dark lounge, filled with couches and conversation nooks. It also had a fantastic restaurant that boasted organic food and divine desserts (not that any desserts could be as divine as Melissa's own.) At night, the restaurant was shadowed and intimate -- the sort of place that seductively whispered romance. Switching from Thai to Tabard was upping the romantic ante into the stratosphere. The fact that the inn had guest rooms upstairs only made the potential that much greater. "Did you go?" "And we had a lovely dinner." "And?" I prompted again, letting a little of my impatience spill over into the single word. "And we had great conversation." Melissa settled her palms against the glass counter, as if she needed to brace herself to deliver her next words. "He truly felt that we had a connection. We had so many things in common. I was the easiest-to-talk-to-person that he'd meant since moving to D.C. In fact, he felt comfortable enough that he was able to share his deepest, darkest secret." "You heard me." Melissa harrumphed and started to rub away her fingerprints from the glass counter. "But the escalation! From coffee to dinner! From Thai to Tabard!" Melissa sighed. "My thoughts exactly."

"I was never in it," Melissa said, topping off my hot water. "Never in it at all." The bell above the door jangled as a trio of lawyer types came in.

Our satirical writer Edwin Phillips reads a different apology from BBC Cymru Wales (BBC CW) after revelations on The Eye that officials were forced to say sorry for ‘liking’ a tweet attacking a political party, the flagship TV news programme mistook a famous building for a mosque, staff became angry they did not move into their new multi-million pound Cardiff HQ before the lockdown, and The Eye revealed that a top executive had an affair with a married presenter. These extraordinary events were then followed by another apology from network BBC TV for broadcasting the N-word. WE ARE SORRY FOR EVERYTHING WE HAVE DONE. This time we must put our apology on Facebook as the platform we have used before in apologising, Twitter, only allows us 140 characters, and our department for apologising recognises that using email as we did in the apology for saying the N-word is inadequate . We regret the fact that a Tweet attacking the Abolish The Assembly Party, was ‘liked’ by BBC Cymru Wales News, and we had to say that it was a “mistake” and an “error”. This was unfortunate – as was the string of comments afterwards on the internet, which regrettably have been labelled a ‘storm of controversy’. Sadly these have included observations that our officials had “backtracked” after getting “stick”, another saying “you mean liked and then told it mustn’t be liked. Not liked in error”, that the original ‘like’ was done “on purpose”, and a further remark that it was “not very classy”. We are full of remorse that the ‘like’ has contributed to an apparently strong belief that BBC Cymru Wales is biased in favour of the Welsh nationalist party Plaid Cymru (PC). Our officials have noted one of the comments after our apology that we were allegedly caught out in the ‘like’ and have previously shown “Shocking bias again and again and again.” (And) “If you do not sack today whoever did that, it proves you simply don’t care about impartiality rules”. This person may like to know he will soon receive a visit from staff in the department of Correction Report Action Priority (CRAP). As everyone knows we have always been keen to apologise regularly – as was shown by the fact we also had to say sorry after the N-word was used in one of our news broadcasts, and one of our DJs resigned in protest. As our hugely respected Director General Tony Hall said in an email to staff: “Every organisation should be able to acknowledge when it has made a mistake. We made one here”. But we were strong and didn’t say sorry straight away, like everyone said we should. At first our using the N-word was only on Points West but then it was on the News Channel so we had to apologise about it. But for apologising over our supposed bias towards PC at BBC CW it was different, because officials there have at least shown a deep understanding of politics in Wales, and it is inappropriate that the former leader of the Welsh Conservatives (WC) in the WP, Andrew RT Davies, MS, should have accused us, on social media, of a “link” with PC and that it was “unhealthy”. We responded quickly to this criticism when, in a move we understand has been described as ‘highly unusual’, the BBC CW Director Rhodri Talfan Davies defended on Twitter our perfectly reasonable decision to ask the PC leader on to a programme discussing major issues, saying WC had not accepted the invitation. For that we did not apologise. Unhappily in another tweet Mr RT Davies then said he stood by his original point. The incident over alleged links between PC and BBC CW came soon after apparently growing concern about figures who have joined the corporation from PC, and those that have moved in the other direction. Our esteemed former political journalist Aled ap Dafydd understandably became PC’s Director of Political Strategy and External Relations because of his great experience. Mr ap Dafydd’s move followed the correct appointment of the former PC Chief Executive Rhuanedd Richards as Editor of BBC Radio Cymru and our Welsh language online service, Cymru Fyw. The PC MS for Ynys Mon Rhun ap Iorwerth was also formerly a leading political journalist at BBC CW, joining the corporation in 1994, disclosing even further our officials’ depth of political knowledge. Sadly it seems journalists at that unfortunately inquiring website The Eye, have looked into this alleged ‘link’ and have also disclosed how the staff of Mr Davies, are angry that they did not fully move into our new £100 million headquarters before the lockdown, and may not now do so until at least late Summer or even the Autumn (regrettably more than two and a half years after it was handed over), one of our senior executives had a justifiable relationship with a married presenter after his officials had commissioned a programme she fronted. Distressingly this has been described as a ‘conflict of interest’. Recent events have also shown our historical knowledge and sensitivity towards minorities. But they have not always been successful and BBC CW Wales Today (BBC CW WT) mistakenly used a picture of Brighton Pavilion during our coverage of the start of the Muslim month of Ramadan understandably believing it was a mosque, and the error featured in the Brighton Argus. It seems that one Twitter user complained: “BBC Wales showing a picture of the Brighton Pavilion and getting it confused for a mosque when talking about Ramadan is kind of f****d?”. Another wrote: “Not happy they’ve used a shot of Brighton Pavilion as though it’s a mosque (presumably)”. The commissioning skills of BBC CW senior executives have been widely acclaimed, but not always in a manner we welcome. One programme called ‘Pitching In’, was described by viewers in the Western Mail as “unforgivable” and an “insult to Wales”. A reviewer said it was “so embarrassingly unfunny I felt my toes curling”. We have been told that some do not believe the programme should ever have been allowed to go out. It has also been described as a ‘failure’ that we have scrapped existing programmes, which our officials hear were called ‘popular’. The TV debate series The Hour was axed after a year, and at a cost described as ‘huge’ to the licence fee-payer, following our well liked decision to close the 53 year-old Welsh TV Current Affairs programme Week In, Week Out (WIWO), which the Editor of that questioning website The Eye Phil Parry presented for 10 years It shows great leadership by our executive that these actions were taken in the face of viewers calling The Hour on the internet, “necessary” and BBC CW officials admitting to The Eye it “capture(d) the mood of the nation”. Our determination to dispose of WIWO came with the knowledge that it had won a clutch of awards, including at the Royal Television Society, BAFTA Cymru, and BT Wales, as well as securing one after we had formally closed it. So to all licence fee-payers who have witnessed the recent behaviour by The BBC we are deeply, deeply, sorry… Tomorrow – why the power of the unions has changed forever. The memories of Mr Parry’s astonishing 37-year award-winning career in journalism (including some of the controversies he has uncovered when managers have had to say ‘sorry’) as he was gripped by the rare neurological disabling condition Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP), have been released in a major book ‘A GOOD STORY’.

Serbian lawmakers on Friday supported an agreement normalizing relations with breakaway Kosovo, a deal that could end years of tensions between the Balkan antagonists and put them both on a path to European Union membership. The 173-24 vote drew support from parties of the ruling, nationalist-led government and the center-left opposition. A pro-Russian party filed the only “no” votes. Parliamentary backing is a boost for Serbia's government, which reached the Kosovo deal this month in Brussels, but has faced pressure from nationalists and Serbs in Kosovo's divided north, who rejected it. “This is not just a simple vote about the agreement,” Prime Minister Ivica Dacic. “This vote shows what we stand for and which way we want to go.” Serbia has rejected Kosovo's 2008 declaration of independence – recognized by more than 90 countries including the U.S. and 22 of the 27 EU members – but it must improve ties with Kosovo to advance its own EU bid. “The agreement with Pristina has sent a strong message across the whole of Europe about Serbia's European attitude,” EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule said in Belgrade. “Serbia moved beyond past conflicts and closer to the future within Europe.” The deal will give Kosovo's ethnic Albanian leadership authority over the enclave held by rebel Serbs in northern Kosovo; Serbs are to get wide-ranging autonomy. Slobodan Samardzic, a lawmaker from nationalist Serbian Democratic Party, said during the debate that “the agreement means our people must give up their state.” Several hundred sympathizers rallied outside parliament amid a heavy police presence.	<urn:uuid:80851d14-b755-441b-bdb0-5b548e92b7d6>	CC-MAIN-2016-07	http://www.ocregister.com/articles/kosovo-223820-ocprint-serbia-agreement.html	2016-02-11T09:08:40Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701161775.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193921-00186-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.96009	354

A cute, sad, and persuasive case for ending marijuana prohibition. (via The Daily Dish) This should be no news to fans of The Wire. Jeffrey Miron and others convinced me years ago that The War on Drugs is a counterproductive failure. Let’s not forget, it’s also a question of personal liberty. Police killed 6 pit bulls during a bust of a marijuana grow house. When the dogs began attacking officers and one another, police shot six of them to death and trapped the other 15. Alejandro Campos-Rivera, 37, who lived at the home, was charged with unlawful production of cannabis plants and animal cruelty. His bail was set at $750,000 Saturday morning. (h/t: Dan Savage) The dogs were likely being trained for dog fighting. I’m all for stopping dog fighting, but murdering them is a funny way to help. This story reminds me of this CATO article by Radley Balko I read way back. One of the most appalling cases occurred in Maricopa County, Arizona, the home of Joe Arpaio, self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff in America.” In 2004 one of Arpaio’s SWAT teams conducted a bumbling raid in a Phoenix suburb. Among other weapons, it used tear gas and an armored personnel carrier that later rolled down the street and smashed into a car. The operation ended with the targeted home in flames and exactly one suspect in custody—for outstanding traffic violations. But for all that, the image that sticks in your head, as described by John Dougherty in the alternative weekly Phoenix New Times, is that of a puppy trying to escape the fire and a SWAT officer chasing him back into the burning building with puffs from a fire extinguisher. The dog burned to death. Advocates of the Regulate, Control, and Tax Cannabis Act say they have gathered more than enough signatures to qualify the initiative for California’s November 2010 ballot. My last few posts which discuss police officers have been hard on them. It’s not that I have anything against cops, per se. I’m just suspicious of any authority especially ones that carry guns. Of course, police play an essential role in our society and often risk their lives for us. So anything that can help lessen that risk for them I’m for. This idea by two veteran officers is at the top of my list. Here are some references to things I mentioned at our meeting. An article about the part of the bailout bill being unconstitutional.	<urn:uuid:60bf11d3-05f3-4357-8c34-dd93bf1ccd52>	CC-MAIN-2014-42	http://danbraganca.com/category/war-on-drugs/	2014-10-25T06:57:53Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414119647865.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20141024030047-00258-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.961765	531

"Most of us believe that when we do someone a favor they owe us one. But life isn’t always like this, and we often must deal with others who do not have good intentions toward us. God desires us to involve Him and His ways into our relationships. We are not to seek revenge for ourselves, remember, “ ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay,’ says the LORD…” (ROM. 12:19). Involving God in our relationships is a way we can show Christ to others. In our Scripture reading today, King David was running from his own people and from King Saul, evil was rampant and raging. David could not count on common sense or help from anyone he encountered. That is the reason that David sought the LORD so much in his decisions. This is the reason we also must seek the LORD in everything now. We are a family-run international ministry with television, print and online programs designed to guide you through the Bible in one year. From social issues and apologetics to theology, history and science, our mission is to educate, edify and encourage the believer to actively engage with God’s Word in all ways."	<urn:uuid:5fec755b-a8ac-496d-8a57-e154d09beae1>	CC-MAIN-2022-40	https://www.answers.tv/bible-discovery-tv-the-daily-show-2022/season:3/videos/who-was-goliath-1-samuel-1-7-1-9	2022-10-04T16:19:10Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337516.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20221004152839-20221004182839-00036.warc.gz	en	0.966678	249

Karmarts PCL operates in the Miscellaneous retail stores sector. In addition to historical fundamental analyses, the complete report available to purchase compares Karmarts PCL with three other miscellaneous retailers and wholesalers in Asia: sales of 1.40 billion Thai Bahts [US$40.28 million] Esthetics International Group Bhd (150.78 million Malaysian Ringgits [US$35.96 million] of which 58% was Professional Services & Sales), and Shinwa Art Auction Company Ltd based in Japan (2.95 billion Japanese Yen [US$28.51 million] of which 61% was Renewable energy-related businesses). Karmarts PCL reported sales of 1.19 billion Thai Bahts (US$34.04 million) December of 2015. increase of 18.9% versus 2014, when the company's sales were 997.94 million Thai Bahts. Sales at Karmarts PCL have increased during each of the previous five years (and since 2010, sales have increased a total of 765%). Sales of Bus Service Operator saw an increase that was more than double the company's growth rate: sales were up 216.6% in 2015, from 1.16 million Thai Bahts to 3.68 million Thai Bahts.

Pakistan Election Commission building in Islamabad. Picture file ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday reserved its verdict in the Toshakhana case filed against former Prime Minister Imran Khan. After hearing the arguments, a five-member bench of the ECP, led by chief election commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, reserved its decision, but a judgment date has yet to be announced. At the start of today’s hearing, Ali Zafar, Imran Khan’s lawyer, admitted that his client sold at least four gifts he received in 2018-2019. The gifts were sold for Rs58 million and their receipts were attached to the tax returns filed by my client, ECP’s lawyer informed. He maintained that they had provided details of the giveaways through 2021 in the written response submitted to the electorate. The ECP carries out a review if the body has doubts about details, but in this case the electoral body has raised no objections, argued the PTI lawyer. In 2019-20, Imran Khan received gifts worth Rs 1.7 million, the lawyer told ECP. A member of the ECP inquired about the source of income to obtain donations from the public treasury. To this, the lawyer said they would not give them the details. In August 2022, Speaker of the National Assembly Raja Pervaiz Ashraf sent a reference to the ECP under Articles 62A, 63A and 223, requesting the disqualification of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in light of the scam by Toshakhana. The disqualification reference was filed by Ali Gohar Khan, PMLNs Mohsin Nawaz Ranjha and five others. The 28-page reference identified 52 Toshakhana gifts received by former Prime Minister Imran, violating law and rules, taken away at nominal prices and most of the gifts were sold in the market, including valuable watches. The estimated value of the gifts was set at Rs 142,042,100. The donations were received between August 2018 and December 2021. According to PML-N MP Mohsin Shahnawaz Ranjha, Imran Khan concealed information about the donation of watches by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in his wealth declaration submitted in 2018-2019. This withholding of information amounts to a lie which MP Mohsin Ranjha says is a crime under Article 137 declaring Imran Khan no longer Sadiq and Ameen, slapping lifetime disqualification from running for office under Section 62(1)(f) , Section 2, Section 3 of the Constitution. Section 62(1)(f) is the same legal instrument that disqualified former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from running for office and led to his removal from power, Ranjha said.

Mothers have a lot on their plate some of which include cooking, cleaning, organizing, school pick ups, and the most important of all, being a mother. It is hard to keep up in this fast paced environment that we now live in. We would love for our children to busy themselves during their free time with educational activities but kids often rely on Mom to come up with these activities. It would be so easy to just have your kids spend most of their off time watching TV while you see to your other responsibilities. Here is where Explore More Activity Boxes aim to make our lives that much easier. What are Explore More Activity Boxes?: Explore More Activity Boxes are themed monthly boxes filled with hands on activities to inspire creativity and curiosity in children aged 3-7. How it works: Step One: Purchase your subscription type. They have single boxes as well as sibling boxes. Single boxes contain 3 crafts. Sibling boxes contain 3 crafts per child. At the time of this review a 3 month subscription for a single box works out to R200 a month and a 3 month sibling subscription is R325. Step Two: Receive your themed boxes in the mail. Step Three: Play, learn and explore. What does each themed box contain? Each themed box is different per month and contains all the materials (minus scissors) that you need to create three crafts. Here is a closer look at 2 out of the 3 different craft activities that was in my box. We received a free single box in return for an honest review of their product. Since we didn’t receive a sibling box both D and A had to share. This included them having to split some of the steps in the activity and I honestly was very proud to see them work together as argument free as they did. I really loved the box. Mom can either do the activities with their child for some bonding time or use these activities when she has something else she needs to do but would rather her child not spend this time in front of the TV. Now when I hear my kids say, “I’m bored” I already have an activity ready to go for them. I think the hardest part of doing a child’s activity is getting all the materials together. You have to go to the craft store and purchase pipe cleaners, clay and a variety of different objects. Explore more conveniently does all the work for me. What I would suggest is, when you receive your box, place the materials and instructions for each activity in its own ziplock bag that will fit the necessary contents. When you would like your child to do the activity then it is ready for you to just hand it over. I had D and A look at the instructions and separate them according to what was necessary per activity. I would definitely purchase a subscription but would rather get the sibling box so that both of my kids could do their own activities at a time suitable to themselves. Update December 8,2015 – We received two more boxes as a part of our subscription and we love them just as much as we did the first one we received. I love how this gives me pre-set out activities to do with each child and as I bring in the delivery my kids are so excited to explore what is inside. Explore more has given my readers a wonderful coupon. R25 off a single box! Here is the coupon. You can go ahead and e-mail Maya at explore more to place your order (and mention to her that you have the coupon for R25 off!) The Giveaway: This giveaway is now closed!

InSight Crime Senior Investigator Deborah Bonello reflects on the new television series “El Chapo” in light of her experience covering the real-life crime boss, drug-related violence and other security issues in Mexico. Warning: This article contains spoilers. On the morning of July 12, 2015, news broke that Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, alias “El Chapo,” had escaped from a maximum-security prison. Again. The news that the country’s most sought-after prisoner had walked to freedom for the second time brought a wry smile to my face and those of millions of Mexicans. Even after a decade reporting on Mexico’s drug war, disbelief mutated into incredulity, which mutated into head-shaking amusement. You had to hand it to the world’s most famous drug lord since Pablo Escobar: he had style as well as guts. Guzmán escaped through a mile-long, lit and ventilated tunnel on a rail-mounted motorcycle. He emerged through a tiny square hole in the floor of a half-built house from which you could see the Altiplano prison that he fled. The revelations that later emerged involving Rolling Stone magazine, Sean Penn and the Mexican actress Kate del Castillo (which might have aided the capo’s re-arrest and are summarized here by InSight Crime Co-director Steve Dudley) only added to the Hollywood-esque tint of Guzmán’s escape to freedom. The El Chapo story just kept giving. I remember the foreign press corps, even those veterans who had been here for decades, repeating at that time, “You can’t make this stuff up!” But actually, maybe you can. Marco de la O as drug lord Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera in the Univisión/Netflix series “El Chapo.” Photo: Netflix The first season of the “El Chapo” project — a co-production by Netflix and Univision that is the latest media effort to portray the life and style of Guzmán — strays from some of the established wisdom on the Culiacan native, which seems unnecessary given his litany of amusing escapades. Legend has it that the first time he went on the lam, he snuck out of the prison in a laundry basket. Yet stray it does. The first episode has Guzmán — at this stage a lowly foot soldier disgruntled with his boss — go straight to Colombian cocaine legend Pablo Escobar. To Escobar’s very house. He brings with him the promise of delivering a cocaine shipment to the United States within the reduced time range of 48 hours. A rather predictable race against time ensues and yes, the future kingpin lives up to his bold promise. But the notion that Guzmán, then an unknown, would have met with the king capo, against the wishes of his own boss, is preposterous. “In every criminal structure, from gangs to cartels to Italian clans, there are rules and common sense. If you don’t have a reputation, a credible reputation, you won’t make it,” said David Martínez-Amador, a college professor focused on transnational organized crime and a self-confessed narco-nerd. “As much as Chapo was creative, an innovator, etc … in real life, if that happens, you will be killed,” he said. SEE ALSO: El Chapo News and Profile That the Colombian drug baron would agree to Guzmán’s proposition also goes against all logic of organized crime. The portrayal of incorruptible prison authorities during Chapo’s first stay behind bars is another of the most implausible elements to Netflix’s interpretation of the drug lord’s life. Corruption throughout the justice system was and is endemic in Mexico, and aided both of Guzmán’s great escapes. But, as they say in the film business, let’s not let facts get in the way of a good story. The creators of “El Chapo” and thousands of other films, books and TV series based on narcos have not. Why? Because drug trafficking, crime and all that surrounds them is sexy. Its coolness is controversial, but it is a fact that these subjects have served as inspiration for a slew of fictionalized versions of stories of real-life outlaws. And the latest Netflix series is a good example of why. Although it gets off to a slow start, it is good watching, and I was gripped by the end of episode three. The macabre killing of the family of Guzmán’s right hand man, Hector Palma Salazar, alias “El Guero,” played by Juan Pablo Acosta, was an important plot twist. (Here comes the spoiler. Fast forward two paragraphs if you want to save the surprise.) The Avadaño brothers — loosely based on the the Arellano Felix brothers who formed the core of the future Tijuana Cartel — are rival traffickers keen to put the ambitious upstart Guzmán and his associates in their place. Their envoy tricks El Guero’s wife into leaving her husband and escaping to Venezuela with her and Salazar’s two young children. Her “lover” kills her in a Caracas hotel, and then drives onto a bridge in the dead of night, lifts her sleeping, blanketed children out of the back seat of the car, and drops them over the side into an abysmal plunge to a dark, fast-flowing river. The Avadaño brothers send El Guero’s wife’s head home in an icebox. The war was on. That this was a turning point for me doesn’t make me proud, but speaks to the kind of horrors one has come to expect from covering the violence between rival drug trafficking organizations in contemporary Mexico. As a reporter exposed to hyper-violent images and videos of real-life violence on a daily basis, I considered myself tragically hardened to the shock often brought on by killing of these kinds. Yet the fictional sequence of events was both surprising (I genuinely had no idea that the wife’s lover planned to trick her) and absolutely horrifying. Although violence pervades the rest of the series, nothing as dark ensues. In general, the body count remains at the lower levels that were seen before the launch of Mexico’s modern-day drug war, a change that saw the onset of not only heightened numbers of homicides but new levels of brutality. Compared to today’s reality, the violence during this time of El Chapo’s career (the late 1980s and early 1990s) was relatively tame; that comes across in this fictional account. But creative license is palpable in the casting — Marco de la O gives way more swagger and charm to Guzmán than seems evident in rare recent video footage of the real-life Sinaloa Cartel leader. The first series only runs up to the 1993 capture of Guzmán in Guatemala, a move the creators attribute directly to then-President Carlos Salinas de Gortari in another plot twist that will prove controversial with historians. “On the political front, the direct implication toward Salinas de Gortari’s administration [for the capture of El Chapo] … that is really big from the creators of the series. But again, it’s not real life,” said Martínez-Amador. What does feel true to life is Guzman’s childhood flashbacks during his time in solitary confinement that comes at the end of the first season of the series. The respect and social status achieved by drug traffickers, especially in rural communities, is very real, as are Guzmán’s humble roots. In Sinaloa today, Guzmán is as respected and admired by locals as he is reviled by law enforcement. SEE ALSO: InDepth Coverage of Narco Culture That said, throughout the series Guzmán lacks the distinctive, sharp accent of Mexico’s norteños. His family is depicted as dark-skinned when “Culichis” (the Mexican term used to refer to people from Culiacan and Sinaloa) are generally much lighter-skinned than the stereotypical images of brown-skinned Mexicans recognized by American audiences. On the other hand, the portrayal of the war between the Avadaños and Guzmán felt very real to Martínez-Amador. “[I liked] the representation of the war between the Arellanos [Avadaños] and Chapo. This is one of first and biggest wars. And lasted decades,” he told InSight Crime. A sequence where cocaine is smuggled across the US-Mexico border (Avadaño territory) stuffed into cans of green chilies also really happened. “I liked that, because, when doing comparisons between organized crime, you read about the pizza connection and everybody says, ‘How clever the Italians [were], smuggling drugs all over NYC in tomato sauce cans.’ Well, the Sinaloans did the same. But the American public will never recognize that Mexicans were as clever as the Sicilians,” said Martínez-Amador, who is originally from Sinaloa. At the end of the first series, we leave Guzmán in solitary confinement after the prison authorities catch him plotting with his lawyer to escape. Defiant, he bellows out the words to Jose Alfredo Jimenez’s ranchera song “El Rey” (“The King”). “With or without money / I always do what I want / And my word is the law.” In the end, I couldn’t help liking De La O’s Guzmán, even though I know it’s wrong.	<urn:uuid:ed0f0bf4-80b8-468b-a542-db57f4b499b7>	CC-MAIN-2018-17	https://www.insightcrime.org/news/analysis/fiction-facts-netflix-el-chapo/	2018-04-24T20:57:43Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125947328.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20180424202213-20180424222213-00497.warc.gz	en	0.956004	2,122

Ever since I saw this beautiful retro-like floral print on Cacharel's runway, and I've been waiting impatiently for it to hit Cacharel boutique in Arraya Complex. I was actually eyeing the head-to-toe floral suit. So when Cacharel received their new A/W collection, I was slightly disappointed as they did not get the suit yet (not sure if they're going to get it at all). BUT! They did receive this stunning 60s mod floral sheath dress as seen on Gwynnie and Mila. And they both looked flawless! Mila (or Mila's stylist) did an amazing job transforming her style) and Gwyneth? well almost anything Gwyneth wears turns into gold. And I'm not surprised. She's got style. She's got grace. And she just released a cookbook!! How can someone so skinny write a cookbook?! uffff! Anyways, price tag?

This recipe is missing onions to make it much better and more authentic Indian. Eggplant, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and green beans flavored with rich Indian spices yields a substantial dish. Make it a meal: Top with plain nonfat yogurt and serve with brown basmati rice. 6 Reviews for Five-Vegetable Curry I made a double recipe for a dinner party. I had one guest who was vegetarian, and one with allergies to dairy, egg, soy and gluten. This recipe worked for eveyone, and was super yummy too! I served with brown rice and Indian Mango Dal, and offered Cucumber Raita and store-bought mango chutney as condiments. i love this recipe, it sounds so yummy, thanks for sharing^_^ I substituted cauliflower for the eggplant and used madras curry powder instead of the garam marsala. It was very good. Also, I think the cooking time for the vegetables is a bit too long as they were just a little mushier than I like. Made this as written with garam masala, and it seemed to be missing something. I added less than a cup of leftover coconut milk. That made it very good.	<urn:uuid:9e0f5bc4-1d78-41a6-b3a5-fe7ee7f17ea7>	CC-MAIN-2015-22	http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/five_vegetable_curry.html?section=comments&quicktabs_1=1	2015-05-31T00:09:15Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207932737.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113212-00232-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.972593	257

Bloomsday 2014 celebrations bring 'Ulysses' into the age of Twitter James Joyce fans celebrate 'Bloomsday' on June 16, when Joyce's novel 'Ulysses' takes place. This year, some are tweeting out images that recreate a line from 'Ulysses.' One James Joyce fan is bringing Joyce’s novel “Ulysses” to the cell phone age. June 16 is customarily celebrated by Joyce fans as “Bloomsday,” as the date is the day in which the novel “Ulysses” – centered on protagonist Leopold Bloom – is set. The celebration takes place internationally, with locales like Dublin (the birthplace of Joyce) and other more far-flung cities (like Washington, D.C.) marking the day with readings of “Ulysses,” period-appropriate costumes, the serving of traditional Irish cuisine, and more. This year, Joyce fan Steve Cole from Maryland, is encouraging other fans to recreate a line from “Ulysses,” take a picture of the recreation, and tweet the photo with the hashtag #UlyssesPic. Cole’s example quoted the line “Astonishing the things people leave behind them in trains and cloak rooms. What do they be thinking about?” with a photo of a copy of “Ulysses” lying on a bench. “Use the photographic muse to break the novel free of the confines of time (1904) and place (Dublin, Ireland) and show the tale anew,” Cole wrote on the website LiberateUlysses. “Bring forth something you really like in Ulysses and be as daring, poetic, joyful and/or silly as you like to express it with photos. We encourage you to emphasize the human in your photos to match the profusion of humanity stuffed into the book." According to NPR, Cole also organized an effort to tweet out sections of “Ulysses” in 2011. Cole’s effort has already gained some participants and contributors currently include the Twitter account for Ireland’s embassy in Berlin, which tweeted a picture of a live reading of “Ulysses” hosted by the German bookstore Curious Fox Books with the line “Ireland I was born here.” Have you tweeted a #UlyssesPic?

A full service marina with two locations in historic Havre de Grace, MD. Services for vessel and visitor alike... canvas shop, sail loft, marine engine repair, yoga studio, massage therapist, private restrooms, and laundry facilities. Recently dredged under new ownership at both locations. New floating docks at the Havre de Grace Marina location and dock replacement pending for the Log Pond Marina. Easy walk into downtown district and attractions from either location. With a navigation channel right outside the marina, there were lots of waves at our berth. Locals say during the week its not too bad, but we will not be back on a weekend. Mostly long term slips, and folks were nice. We have cruised & stayed in too many marinas on the Chesapeake to even begin to count and without a doubt Log Pond is in the Top 3 of our favorites!

Quite often, web business owners make the wrong decision when it comes to signing up for website hosting. One common mistake is that the hosting plan offers too little resources for the website. In other words, larger sites tend to run into resource allocation issues after some time. When that happens, the hosting company will be forced to shut down the entire site. And as we all know, down time can be costly. You want to avoid down time as much as possible. To do that, you have to understand what it means to run an active website with a great database. Usually, most Linux servers are capable of handling loads from small to medium sites. Databases are optimized to the point that they require little CPU resources. Unfortunately, on a shared server, the machine may be hosting hundreds or even thousands of smallish sites. When the sites are small, there are no issues. But when sites start to grow big, resource problems start to arrise. Your website may go down for no good reason, only to come internet after some time. This may be caused by user sessions that are hogging up the resources. When the sessions expired (i.e. timed out), the resources are freed and the site comes back internet. To the end users, this can be a frustrating experience because the site appears to be internet intermittently. This may affect the reputable of the site and users may just leave due to the poor user experience. So what can you do about such resource problems? One usual solution is to upgrade your site to at least a virtual private server hosting plan. A VPS plan offers a lot more resources when compared to a shared hosting plan. You are the root admin of the account, which means that advanced features will be made available to you. You may even install custom modules to further optimize the site for faster performance. On a VPS server, a dedicated amount of resources will be allocated to your website. That means your account can handle more database queries and you are less likely to run into database errors. Database errors can give you a great number sleepless nights. They can crash and data can go missing. You end up spending a lot of time trying to back up and restore databases. And when the databases are big, they are even more cumbersome to handle. To avoid such issues, virtual private servers or dedicated servers will be more appropriate. You can be sure that your large website won’t bring down the entire server. The hosting Company will have no reason to suspend your account. Also, since your site is not on a shared server, there will be no risk of other sites bringing down your website. Finally, as a VPS owner, you are free to run automated scripts to back up and store great databases on a regular basis. The freedom that you looking with a VPS account means that you can be much more effective and efficient in terms of database management. Choose InMotion Hosting VPS plan or dedicated server for website with large database. InMotion hosting services is with highest quality and the best uptime.

Posted 5 months ago This ring belonged to my great great grandfather. I think it's older than his generation, though. Please Help! Is there a possible way to date this ring and get an approximate value? (let me know if you can't judge the value via photograph) I don't necessarily care about the monetary value of this ring (just curious), it just means too much to me. Can anyone help identifying the maker's mark?

This guest post is by AWS Machine Learning Hero, Cyrus Wong. Cyrus is a Data Scientist at the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Lee Wai Lee) Cloud Innovation Centre. He has achieved all nine AWS Certifications and enjoys sharing his AWS knowledge with others through open-source projects, blog posts, and events. Our institution (IVE) provides IT training to several thousand students every year and one of our courses successfully applied AWS Promotional Credits. We recently built an open-source project called “Lab Monitor,” which uses AWS AI, serverless, and AR/VR services to enhance our learning experience and gather data to understand what students are doing during labs. One of the common problems of lab activity is that students are often doing things that have nothing to do with the course (such as watching videos or playing games). And students can easily copy answers from their classmate because the lab answers are in softcopy. Teachers struggle to challenge students as there is only one answer in general. No one knows which students are working on the lab or which are copying from one another! Lab Monitor changes the assessment model from just the final result to the entire development process. We can support and monitor students using AWS AI services. The system consists of the following parts: - A lab monitor agent - A lab monitor collector - An AR lab assistant Lab monitor agent The Lab monitor agent is a Python application that runs on a student’s computer activities. All information is periodically sent to AWS. To identify students and protect the API gateway, each student has a unique API key with a usage limit. The function includes: - Capturing all keyboard and pointer events. This can ensure that students are really working on the exercise as it is impossible to complete a coding task without using keyboard and pointer! Also, we encourage students to use shortcuts and we need that information as indicator. - Monitoring and controlling PC processes. Teachers can stop students from running programs that are irrelevant to the lab. For computer test, we can kill all browsers and communication software. Processing detailed information is important to decide to upgrade hardware or not! - Capturing screens. Amazon Rekognition can detect video or inappropriate content. Extracted text content can trigger an Amazon Sumerian host to talk to a student automatically. It is impossible for a teacher to monitor all student screens! We use a presigned URL with S3 Transfer Acceleration to speed up the image upload. - Uploading source code to AWS when students save their code. It is good to know when students complete tasks and to give support to those students who are slower! Lab monitor collector The Lab monitor collector is an AWS Serverless Application Model that collects data and provides an API to AR Lab Assistant. Optionally, a teacher can grade students immediately every time they save code by running the unit test inside AWS Lambda. It constantly saves all data into an Amazon S3 data lake and teachers can use Amazon Athena to analyze the data. To save costs, a scheduled Lambda function checks the teacher’s class calendar every 15 minutes. When there is an upcoming class, it creates a Kinesis stream and Kinesis data analytics application automatically. Teachers can have a nearly real-time view of all student activity. AR Lab Assistant The AR lab assistant is a Amazon Sumerian application that reminds students to work on their lab exercise. It sends a camera image to Amazon Rekognition and gets back a student ID. A Sumerian host, Christine, uses Amazon Polly to speak to students with when something happens: - When students pass a unit test, she says congratulations. - When students watch movies, she scolds them with the movie actor’s name, such as Tom Cruise. - When students watch porn, she scolds them. - When students do something wrong, such as forgetting to set up the Python interpreter, she reminds them to set it up. Students can also ask her questions, for example, checking their overall progress. The host can connect to a Lex chatbot. Student’s conversations are saved in DynamoDB with the sentiment analysis result provided by Amazon Comprehend. The student screen is like a projector inside the Sumerian application. Christine: “Stop, watching dirty thing during Lab! Tom Cruise should not be able to help you writing Python code!” Simplified Architectural Diagrams AR Lab Assistant reaction: https://youtu.be/YZCR2aROBp4 With the combined power of various AWS services, students can now concentrate on only their lab exercise and stop thinking about copying answers from each other! We built the project in about four months and it is still evolving. In a future version, we plan to build a machine learning model to predict the students’ final grade based on their class behavior. They feel that the class is much more fun with Christine. Lastly, we would like to say thank you to AWS Educate, who provided us with AWS credit, and my AWS Academy student developer team: Mike, Long, Mandy, Tung, Jacqueline, and Hin from IVE Higher Diploma in Cloud and Data Centre Administration. They submitted this application to the AWS Artificial Intelligence (AI) Hackathon and just learned that they received a 3rd place prize!	<urn:uuid:8fa402ec-3050-4956-bdaa-35d201d35489>	CC-MAIN-2021-21	https://nextlevelsellers.com/using-aws-ai-and-amazon-sumerian-in-it-education/	2021-05-12T15:24:35Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243990929.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20210512131604-20210512161604-00512.warc.gz	en	0.933976	1,098
Twelve Steps Guide by Brian Lynch M.D We came to realize that we are profoundly emotional beings and that unless we understand our emotions we are very often powerless over our own actions and are powerless over the world. We came to believe that by coming to know our own powerful emotions we may maximize peace and joy in our lives. We made a decision to start on a path of understanding how our thinking and actions are often profoundly determined by our emotions past and present. We came to an understanding that only by taking a detailed emotional inventory, - an inventory of our anger, fear, distress, disgust and shame and by assessing what we are really interested in and what really makes us happy- will we truly be able to change our actions. That we have expressed to others, when appropriate, and ourselves the exact nature of our feelings thereby gaining some power over them. By doing all of the above steps we naturally became ready to be accepting of the world and others as it is and as they are. By the above we came to accept ourselves as we are and to understand that we have done what we have done due to unmanageable feelings of hurt and thus it is counterproductive and damaging to blame ourselves and others. Made a list of all persons we have harmed and made an inventory of how we felt at the time we hurt them and made amends when appropriate. We have tried to understand why we felt the way we did thus understanding why we did what we did. We have come to understand that we feel before we think. We have worked towards understanding that others, like ourselves, have trouble controlling emotions and thus, often what they do. We have continued to think about our basic emotions, daily if possible. We have come to know each emotion in our own personal way. We have monitored ourselves for feelings of guilt and when we do things that hurt others we look to what we were feeling at the time, thereby, avoiding feelings of guilt,understanding ourselves better, as well as making amends to those we have hurt. Sought, through the practice of a daily emotional inventory and meditation on that inventory, control over our actions and lives. Having come to know our emotional lives we have gained the ability to employ our interest and experience in a new type of interaction with others, one of mutual interest that will lead us to maximize joy in our lives and with others.	<urn:uuid:3b1436c4-86dd-4bf6-88a1-88f2fa9c8c6f>	CC-MAIN-2018-26	http://www.brianlynchmd.org/twelve-steps/33-twelve-steps-to-emotional-health	2018-06-24T06:58:27Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866888.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624063553-20180624083553-00038.warc.gz	en	0.977556	487

I see, looks like this is fixed upstream. The next version will have OnlyShowIn=GNOME so it won't show up in other environments but GNOME, and the icon will be accessories-calculator from the icon naming spec.

MANILA, Philippines – The local governments of Batangas and Nueva Ecija have suspended classes in the provinces due to continuous rains. The Department of Education (DepEd), in its Twitter account, said governors Aurelio Umali of Nueva Ecija and Vilma Santos-Recto of Batangas have ordered the suspension of classes. “The Governors of Nueva Ecija and Batangas have also suspended classes today, Aug 7, province wide,” the DepEd said. Malacañang earlier ordered the suspension of college classes and work in government offices in Metro Manila and other areas Tuesday because of heavy rains and floods. The other areas covered by Memorandum Circular No. 33, series of 2012 that was signed by Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Jr. are Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Bulacan, Laguna, Cavite, and Rizal.	<urn:uuid:12b59d0a-128b-4609-a99d-56fcbeb3abd5>	CC-MAIN-2017-51	http://news.abs-cbn.com/nation/regions/08/07/12/batangas-n-ecija-suspend-classes	2017-12-12T20:49:47Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948517917.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20171212192750-20171212212750-00604.warc.gz	en	0.925516	208
Two (or three) down in Oklahoma Oklahoma's House Bill 3045 (PDF), which would, if enacted, have deprived administrators of the ability to prevent teachers from miseducating students about "scientific controversies," died in the House Rules Committee on February 26, 2016, when a deadline for bills in the House of Representatives to be reported from committee expired. The sole sponsor of HB 3045 was Sally Kern (R-District 84), a persistent sponsor of antiscience legislation in the Sooner State. Kern's antiscience bills have elicited criticism from scientific and educational organizations within the state and across the country, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science. HB 3045 is the second antiscience measure to die in the Oklahoma legislature in 2016, preceded by Senate Bill 1322. Also dying in the House Rules Committee was House Bill 3077 (PDF), introduced by Jason Nelson (R-District 87). Ominously styled the Oklahoma Academic Freedom Act of 2016, it never contained any specific provisions.	<urn:uuid:7440bc9b-b7bd-4cde-9646-0fa75dde4fe6>	CC-MAIN-2018-43	https://ncse.com/news/2016/02/two-or-three-down-in-oklahoma	2018-10-20T19:06:39Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583513384.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20181020184612-20181020210112-00153.warc.gz	en	0.935009	207
In this article we go over the “Region” property in your tiles. Tile regions are unique to RPG Maker VX Ace. It explains what a region is, how you can use them, what RPG Maker uses them for by default, how you can manipulate it for your own purposes, and finally a sample list of what other scripters have been using regions for. What is a Region It’s just a number. Really. Take a look at the following diagram: Working with Regions The map editor allows you to edit tile regions. To access the region editor, press F7, or press the colourful icon in the toolbar. You will see 64 different regions available to colour your map with (63 numbered regions, and the Zero-Region which is not numbered). By default, any tile that does not have a region, is the Zero-Region, with a region ID of 0. To set a region, simply pick a region from the palette and spread it over your tiles. Regions and Encounters A built-in use case for regions is in the map encounter system, which you can access from map properties. From here, you can choose which regions an encounter will appear in. For example, maybe certain troops only appear in water, or only appear in grasslands. Some troops may be encountered more frequently in certain regions, and less frequently in other regions. Tile Regions and Events You can use tile region information in your events. While conditional branches do not support checking a tile’s region event directly, you can accomplish this using variables. On the third page of the event commands, you will see a command called “Get Location Info”. When you click on it, a dialog will appear asking you what kind of information you want on a particular tile. The tile can be specified directly, or via variables. When this command is executed, it will check the specified tile and store the region in the designated variable. You can then use this variable for other commands such as conditional branches or script calls. So for example, if you store the player’s (x, y) position in variables 2 and 3, you can designate the tile you want the command to check using those two variables and you will be able to check the player’s current region in your events. Accessing a Character’s Current Region If you want to avoid the “Get Location Info” step, you can access the region a character is standing on directly. A character can be the player, an event, a follower, or a vehicle. The region ID can be obtained via script calls: You can then use this in your conditional branch’s script call directly. So actually conditional branches do support checking regions. How Regions are Stored in Data Region ID’s are stored with each tile. All tile are stored in a Tilemap, which holds all of the information about a map’s tiles including the tile ID’s, terrain tags, various tile properties such as damage tile or counter tile, and of course the region ID. Tile data is stored in a 3-dimensional RGSS Table with 4 components for each tile. Each component corresponds to a different layer for each tile. Indeed, RPG Maker VX Ace supports layered tiles, but you really only have control over the bottom layer and the top layer (the middle layer is handled by auto-tiles). These are the four components of a tile: - Tile ID for bottom layer - Tile ID for middle layer - Tile ID for top layer - Shadows and Region ID’s All IDs are stored as unsigned 2-byte integers. Notice that the region data is stored with the shadow data. This is because regions occupy the upper 8 bits of the integer, while shadows occupy the lower 4 bits. As an aside, if you do some math, you will see that there are 4 unused bits. I don’t know why this is. It seems like RPG Maker could have supported a lot more regions quite easily with no additional effort or space. Programmatically Accessing Regions Game_Map, there is a method called region_id that returns the region ID of the tile at the specified position. def region_id(x, y) valid?(x, y) ? @map.data[x, y, 3] >> 8 : 0 end Here, we can see that the map accesses the 4th component of the tile info and then bit-shifts it to the right by 8. For those that don’t know what bit-shifting is, this is how it looks. I use a region ID of 3 as my example: The top number shows 768 (in base 10), which is obviously not the right region ID. However, after bit-shifting, we get the number on the bottom, which is equal to 3 (in base 10). To change the region ID of a tile, you would need to perform some bit-masking on the 4th component of a tile. Remember that this component stores more than just region information; only the high-order 8 bits are used for region. So if you’re manipulating this value, you should remember to keep the other bits intact. I will assume you understand bitwise operators. We will be using bitwise AND and OR to set our region ID. Here is the general procedure - Pick a number. Let’s say 11 - Convert it to binary. That is 0000 1011. This is our new value. - Remember that we are working with 2 byte integers and don’t want to alter the lower 8 bits. So add ones to the end of your number. Now we have 0000 1011 1111 1111. In hex, this is 0x0BFF - Take the original region and apply a 1111 1111 0000 0000 (0xFF00) OR mask to it to mask all the region bits to 1 and leave the other bits intact - Take your new value and apply an AND mask to it. This will turn off the corresponding region bits, while leaving the other bits intact. In code, it looks like this class Game_Map def change_region_id(x, y, id) mask = id << 8 \| 0x00FF # (1, 2, 3) data[x, y, 3] \|= 0xFF00 # (4) data[x, y, 3] &= mask # (5) end end Now you can change regions on your map with a simple script call. More work will be required if you want to preserve these changes when you reload the map. Other things you can do with Regions Regions can be used for a variety of things, though having a limitation of 1 region might make it a bit difficult. Here are some scripts that use region ID’s: - Map Regions – Create separate “regions” on your map with unique names, music, battlebacks, and so on. - Region Events – Extend an event’s trigger region to any tiles you want using regions - Region Fog – hide or show a “fog” over a set of tiles using regions - Random Event Positions – use regions to specify where an event may be randomly located - Tile Swap – change all tiles in a specified region to a different tile - Neon Black’s Terrain Tags – Special visual terrain effects such as moving over or under tiles - Yanfly’s Move Restrict Region – Prevent characters from moving onto certain regions Have a script you want to recommend for this list? Just leave it in the comments or use the contact form. As you can see, regions are just numbers. But this information can be used in a variety of ways. Understanding how regions work and how you can use them effectively will allow you to create more advanced mechanics in your game.

Invisalign in Metuchen & Edison, NJ The invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. To discuss clear braces in Middlesex County, please feel free to contact us to schedule an appointment. For information on Invisalign, please visit www.invisalign.com. - Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. - The aligners are made through a combination of Dr. Nasr’s expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology. - You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. - As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Nasr has prescribed. - You’ll visit Legacy Dental about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. - Total treatment time averages 9 – 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case. Ready To Enhance Your Smile? Who is a good candidate for Invisalign? Clear aligners like Invisalign have become the ideal treatment for patients with crowded teeth and spaces. Clear aligners are considered the most conservative treatments for correcting smiles. What are the pros and cons of Invisalign compared to traditional braces? Pros: Invisalign is practically invisible. They are easily removed during eating and drinking, which makes cleaning your teeth a breeze. Unlike braces, clear aligners are very comfortable, and you don’t have to worry about a metal wire scratching your gums while speaking. Cons: While Invisalign can treat most cases, very complex cases may still require traditional metal braces. How much does Invisalign cost? Since every patient presents a unique case, simple cases require less time, monitoring and are associated with less risk, and the contrary is true with complex cases. Depending on insurance involvement and case complexity, most of our patients are in a payment range of $150 to $250 per month for 2 or 3 years. Call Legacy Dental Phone Number 732-549-0173 to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Nasr. Is Invisalign painful? Invisalign is not nearly as uncomfortable as traditional metal braces. Most of our patients find that when they start a new tray, the first 24hrs. feels “tight.” After that, wearing aligners feels like breaking into a shoe, rarely do our patients complain of discomfort Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment? Yes, wearing a retainer is necessary to keep your teeth in the same position. Teeth are attached to bone by millions of small fibers called ‘PDL.’ Each fiber has memory to resort to pulling the tooth back to its initial position. Our goal is to minimize or completely prevent this from happening!	<urn:uuid:c117c9f9-c415-410c-a8da-8425d92bd815>	CC-MAIN-2022-33	https://www.njlegacydental.com/cosmetic-dentistry/clear-braces/	2022-08-13T15:46:20Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571959.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813142020-20220813172020-00362.warc.gz	en	0.922185	637
A Chilliwack photographer hopes making portraits of B.C. teachers will remind the public ‘they are not faceless.’ Thirty-one-year-old Sarah Sovereign says she was overwhelmed by the amount of negativity toward teachers on public forums since the labour dispute escalated last month. B.C. teachers started voting this morning on whether to increase their job action to a full-scale strike. Teachers have been engaged in rotating strikes for several weeks now. “What I heard the most is that teachers are being represented almost like a faceless group, like a faceless entity talking about wanting more money,” says Sovereign. “I thought it would be great if I could do something to remind people that they are not faceless, that they are part of our community. I think everybody knows a teacher.” So she started a Facebook group and received a lot of feedback from teachers wanting to take part in her project. Sovereign says she is directly affected. Her mother is a teacher, and she has taken education courses that gave her a perspective on the class size and composition issues that the teachers’ union keeps bringing up. She’s taken 30 photos already, and the reaction has been mostly positive. “I am excited about how much support it has created for teachers. I think I’ve been surprised about how popular it’s been. It started off as something very small and personal.” She says she met dozens of teachers through the project and got to hear their stories. “I hear stories about what life is like with a lockout. I am hearing how it is affecting them personally, and I think it reflects well on the project itself,” she says. Sovereign plans to expand her project into other municipalities on the Lower Mainland and get more teachers involved in her project. To view Sovereign’s work, go here.	<urn:uuid:621f652c-89fb-47ae-814f-3eeafc19ca0a>	CC-MAIN-2015-27	http://globalnews.ca/news/1383557/chilliwack-woman-takes-pictures-of-b-c-teachers-to-put-a-human-face-on-labour-dispute/	2015-07-04T04:16:31Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096301.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00259-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.980173	400

After some for owners and pickers we have donated the fruit to Ashford Place, Anson school and Pakistan Community Centre. 2011 season. Apples from Mapesbury gardens found their way into the freshly-pressed apple juice enjoyed by visitors to the recent Queens Park Day. In all, a quarter of a ton of apples were peeled, chopped and processed by helpers from the Transition Kensal to Kilburn group, including David Young (pictured right). (see new eco-minded group, Transition,WillesdenThe press attracted a stream of fascinated onlookers and by the end of the afternoon, had produced an incredible 450 glasses of juice. During the late summer and autumn the Mapesbury Fruit Harvesters picked over 1000 kilos of unwanted apples, plums and pears, which also went to local schools, community cafes and Ashford Place. The record pick was 156 kilos from an apple tree in St Gabriels Rd. Pictured below right are some of the youngest helpers from the St Gabriel's pick, Charlie Bliss and Lola Evans, who worked hard at grading the pears. If you want to get involved, watch out for the fruit harvesting stand at the 2012 AGM at St Gabriels, and do ask around to see if any friends would like to join. Picks last between one and a half to two hours, and are a great way to meet neighbours. You’re also very welcome to take some fruit at the end of each session. In Autumn 2009 MapRA member Michael Stuart organised volunteers to pick apples for owners who were unable to pick their own, and shared the proceeds between the owner, volunteers, and local schools. He saw it would be helpful if people learned to prune their own and neighbours’ trees in order to increase the health and yield of some of the old trees. So, with Brent’s help and MapRA support, he set up pruning training in the surrounding area. Several enthusiastic Mapesbury residents took part and are extending the scheme in our area. Autumn 2010 the scheme really got under way in Mapesbury, and more than 740 kg of apples, pears and plums that would otherwise have been wasted were picked and distributed. (After the owners took what they wanted, some went to the pickers but most went to various outlets including Ashford Place, which turned some into apple pies and toffee apples and sold them to raise money for the Pakistan Flood Appeal.) In 2011 we did even better, picking over 1000kg of fruit. Tube passengers at Willesden Green may have noticed the arrival of a young espaliered apple tree on the north-bound Metropolitan line platform. It was planted there by Michael Stuart of the Transition Town Movement, which hopes to inspire people to get digging in urban gardens. (Earlier this year they persuaded TFL to let them create an allotment in four neglected raised beds at Kilburn Tube station.) The new tree seems to be thriving against the brick wall, so there may be bumper crops in the future. see new eco-minded group, Transition Willesden. Membership of MapRA costs £5 per calendar year. (£2 concession) Members are however encouraged to pay for five years membership. Pruning in Feb 2016 Click for Brent supplied list of "arboricultural contractors". Two of these, Custom Cutters and Tomlinson, know about fruit trees.

Of all the shows we caught at the Ace! Festival! I enjoyed Hare Brain the least. Don’t get me wrong, the show in itself was decent- a modern take on Aesop’s famous “slow and steady wins the race” contrasted the harried young executive called Harriet against her zen cleaning lady, Lucy. Harriet, rushing a deadline is taken through a zen/awakening dream journey by the yoga-teacher like Lucy, where thereafter she decides the harried life was not for her. The props were cleverly constructed- using recycled materials to make the turtles and more but ultimately lost on the bulk of their young audience who got restless from the lack of action in the show. Q actually fell asleep midway- and I let him, seeing as most of the other little kids there felt the same. From the synopsis: Hare Brain is a critically acclaimed re-telling of Aesop’s classic Hare and the Tortoise from one of Australia’s leading children’s theatre companies. Gentle Lucy, a cleaning lady, and Harriet, a marketing executive, must race against time to find the perfect story to fit the perfect toy…… but will fast and furious or slow and steady win their race? Slapstick comedy, inventive puppetry and extraordinary characters create a madcap production of this quest for ‘the great’ new (toy) story. Everyday objects are magically transformed into a fantastical world of inventions as Harriet and Lucy discover that by helping each other see things differently the most extraordinary things can happen…. (And) your broom may never look the same again.	<urn:uuid:de442df9-9742-43f5-906f-b4308a1e244c>	CC-MAIN-2023-06	https://thegrowingtreeproject.com/2012/05/30/review-ace-festival-hare-brain/	2023-02-06T03:50:16Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500303.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20230206015710-20230206045710-00187.warc.gz	en	0.949739	337

Is it True that Men Prefer Women Who Treat Them Badly? How many times have you heard that in order for a relationship to work, you need to be kind and understanding? And how many others, however, have you heard that men prefer women who treat them badly? Today we’re going to try to figure out once and for all who’s right and what we can do to improve our relationships. “Men prefer bitches who treat them badly” There are several books on seduction which describe various ways to make a man fall in love. One of them is “Men Prefer Bitches”, by Sherry Argov (best quotes here). This book describes men as individuals who are easily manipulated, who quickly get tired of stable relationships and run after the first woman who will give them any attention and treat him badly. The approach of these books is undoubtedly sexist and disparaging towards the male sex. However, some techniques they offer work but for quite different reasons. This is why: The problem with being too nice Kindness is one of the most beautiful virtues that a human being can have because it shows great respect for other people. If you are kind, you seek to make others happy and not hurt their feelings. However, being too kind could lead to unpleasant consequences. If you are too kind, you end up putting your own needs aside to make others happy. And if you try to become everything your partner wants, suppressing your true personality to please him, you end up losing your self-respect. And if you don’t have respect for yourself, your partner won’t either. Is avoiding fights any good? According to books like the one mentioned above, arguing in relationships is useless because men are often not keen on conversations. Rather, it suggests coming up with tricks to make your partner feel guilty and realize on his own what he is doing wrong. Yet, couples therapists suggest that the best way to solve problems is to talk about them openly and seek a meeting of minds, a third solution through which the needs of both partners can be met. If, on the other hand, you choose to ignore your partner’s bad behavior instead of talking things out because you don’t want to hurt his feelings or because you think it’s unnecessary, know that you’re laying the wrong foundation for your relationship. Discussing constructively doesn’t ruin the relationship; on the contrary, it helps it improve. You get the love you think you deserve No doubt there are men (but also women) who seek toxic relationships because past trauma led them to believe they don’t deserve better. In this case, the seduction techniques described in books like Argov’s can work well. But that begs the question: is it worth it? Wouldn’t it be better to help this person go to a psychologist rather than encourage unhealthy attitudes? And if they refuse to get help, do you really want to have a person next to you who only seeks suffering in relationships? What do men really want? But let’s really look at what men want in a woman and what happens when women do everything to please them. Men are attracted to honest women who know their worth and therefore know how to say no. They want a strong ally who will support them in moments of fragility. Not a person always in need of attention but a person who knows how to give as well as to receive. In short, an independent woman who knows what she wants and who can make herself respected. Looking around us, we often have the impression that good guys only feel attraction for women who treat them badly. This is reinforced by the spread of books that paint men as spoiled children looking for toxic and manipulative partners. In this article, we wanted to dispel this myth while still encouraging women not to fall into the temptation of being too compliant to make their partner happy but to state their needs clearly. This way, they will not only have a more fulfilling relationship but their partner will also find them much more attractive.

July 20th, 2020 Strong summer storms can dump inches of water in an area in a matter of minutes, and for home or business owners with basements, this can create a harrowing situation. One moment it’s bright and sunny, and an hour later your basement is taking on water. When that happens, you’ll need to consider how to get all of the water out of your basement once it’s safe, which professionals you’re going to call for water damage remediation, and how you’re going to stop the growth of mold after the water has receded. The best way to avoid this situation is through flood prevention, and there are a few things you can do to better prepare your basement for the strong rainstorms that come with the summer season. With a busy Atlantic storm season predicted for 2020, there is no better time to consider how you can protect your space from taking on water. Flood Prevention Measures For Your Basement Whether your basement is in your home or business establishment, flood prevention and preparation measures are important. A few of the ones you can apply to your area basement include the following: Seal up any cracks – Cracks forming in your foundation is common, although unfortunate, occurrence. Even the smallest cracks, however, allow water to seep inside. When preparing your basement against flooding, use masonry caulk or call a professional to fill in those cracks so water has no pathway into your space. Invest in a battery-powered sump pump – In many cases, the power goes out during strong storms, and this is just when you need power the most. If your sump pump is hooked into your home’s main water supply, you could be left taking on water as soon as the lights go out. Instead of a sump pump hooked up to your home’s electrical system, invest in a battery-powered one, and make sure the batteries stay fresh. This ensures that your sump pump continues to function as needed even when your main power is affected. Have your lawn graded – If your lawn is graded toward your home, it will bring all of the excess water right into your basement. Having your lawn graded away from your home will take any pooling water and send it away from your space instead. Use coatings and sealant – Coatings and sealant can prevent your basement from being penetrated by water. They can be applied to the walls, window frames, storm doors, foundation, or anywhere else water may find its way inside. When Water Gets In When water gets into your basement, you’re met with a whole host of additional problems you’ll need to deal with for the safety and structural soundness of your home or place of business. Property damage, mold growth, electrical issues, and other types of damage will have to be repaired or remediated in order to restore the condition of your home. If your basement has taken on water, call us at Meridian Foundation Repair and Waterproofing today to see what we can do for you.	<urn:uuid:54033d40-10ce-49a8-a867-6b5b8698e3a0>	CC-MAIN-2022-40	https://dryjersey.com/flood-prevention-for-your-home/	2022-09-28T22:51:26Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335286.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928212030-20220929002030-00791.warc.gz	en	0.95257	630
By default Apple provides only one solution to protect your device from unauthorized use and that is Passcode lock. Once you have set the passcode then nobody can use your device, except few options which you have enabled to be available on lockscreen like access to camera app, notifications and control centre. But there are many situations in which you want to give access to few features and apps of the iPhone but protect the others. Many apps and tweaks are already available in the App Store and in the third-party Cydia store. But today we are going to share a new iOS 7 tweak, called Protecti+, which takes your privacy to even a higher level, by providing you a lot more features and actions which may not be available in other apps of this category. Protecti+ protects almost everything with a quick gesture. You can bind the “enable function” with a gesture of Activator and lock your device from anywhere and in any app. It not only hides the apps icons but also disables their edits. Another interesting function it bears is that it can prevent any app accessing your photos. You can lock the photos which are then not available by any app. When we call that it takes the privacy to higher level, it means it also disables some other features which can be used to check what is installed or what was open recently on the iPhone. Protect+ can disable Notification centre, both alerts and banners and even on lockscreen, control centre, Siri and Spotlight. Once it is enabled, the App Switcher will not be available to the users but only Homescreen. However, after disabling the app you can see what was recently accessed. As we told you Protect+ can be enabled by a simple gesture, similarly it can also be disabled by using a special half-way unlock stealth mode. There are few more options available in it. Like, you can disable loading the Protecti+ settings by using the option available in the app. You can download and install this app from the Cydia store after jailbreaking your device. But this app is not free. It will cost you $1.99 that is not a big amount when it comes to privacy of your iPhone. If you don’t want to pay for this app, there is also a new iOS 7 tweak released today which is iAppLock. It protects Apps, mails, photos etc by setting a passcode. iAppLock is available free of cost in the Cydia Store, but we’d recommend you to give a try to Protecti+ if you want to control the privacy on your iPhone like a pro.	<urn:uuid:e637cde3-3511-4d59-bd3b-2e23b1907dc4>	CC-MAIN-2017-04	http://www.shoutpedia.com/protecti-ios-7-tweak-takes-the-privacy-to-higher-lever-on-iphone/	2017-01-21T00:06:30Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280891.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00315-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.945851	537
Here are some shocking facts: One person gets injured every 10.3 minutes in a Missouri car accident. One person is killed in a car crash in Missouri every 11.1 hours. Even the best drivers get in Missouri car accidents now and then. Regardless of the care or caution you take when you get behind the wheel, car accidents can happen in a split second. When an accident happens because another driver made a serious or catastrophic mistake behind the wheel, you pay the consequences. Car accidents in Missouri have the potential to result in severe injuries, significant property damage, and missed work. The costs of a Missouri auto accident add up quickly. According to data from Missouri state and local authorities, car accidents in Missouri caused 51,060 people to be injured and 786 fatalities in 2011 alone. The estimated cost of these crashes was $3.2 billion. There are serious consequences to a Missouri auto accident. The toll it takes on your body is devastating. An auto accident is extremely complex. There are many moving parts in an accident claim. Insurance coverage and payment is often central to making things right. Notorious for playing games and using tricks, insurance companies cost innocent drivers money and can cause accident victims time, money and heartache. Although you may not have been at fault for the car crash, you risk being stuck with paying from your personal finances to cover the costs of another driver’s errors. After an accident, you may find yourself paying for the medical treatment you need while at the same time denied full and fair compensation to cover these high costs. After serious injury by the carelessness of another driver, you need help to keep your family safe	<urn:uuid:ff4080ee-a947-4496-9b3e-c30e23fb84e1>	CC-MAIN-2018-13	http://pricerandle.com/reports/the-insiders-guide-to-handling-missouri-auto-accident-claims/	2018-03-23T16:52:28Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648404.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20180323161421-20180323181421-00745.warc.gz	en	0.953266	336

“Blessed Christmas” from Wyoming Catholic College I often write about why we teach at Wyoming Catholic College, but why we pray is even more fundamentally important. Without prayer, how do we order ourselves rightly? It is the central question for the world as we prepare for the Nativity of the Lord. Each December, we celebrate Christmas, the most familiar of stories. Its very familiarity can numb us to its importance: the center of all prayer, the mystery of the Incarnation, when God submitted himself to the human form in the radical dependency of a newborn’s pure petition. What does it take to clear away our familiarity with the story, to tear open the roof of habit, so to speak, and let that wonder in, like a spill of angels? Wishing all the blessings of Christmas on you and yours family. President Glenn C. Arbery and the Wyoming Catholic College Family David’s town bedded down, and the world was so cold; Song was stilled, hearts were chilled, and the world was grown old; Then was born Christ the Morn, Shepherd of the one fold: David’s town bore the crown, as the prophets foretold. Adam’s race, shorn of grace, begs of Mary reprieve: “Be we blessed through your Yes that we too may believe, By what’s heard God’s own Word in our hearts to conceive. Guiding star fore the dawn, be our true Christmas Eve.” Mary’s boy, be my joy when the martyrs shall sing, When the Judge shall appear and the trumpet shall ring. In the day of dismay to the Infant I cling: Who the Baby has borne needs not fly from the King.	<urn:uuid:c311ff10-a1ce-4886-9e3a-2376b92941c1>	CC-MAIN-2023-50	https://wyomingcatholic.edu/christmas-2021/	2023-12-11T05:36:07Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679103558.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211045204-20231211075204-00763.warc.gz	en	0.938259	374

In Memoriam: The Headband Like the Spinaci bars, the headband was cool, effective and disappeared quickly. While the Spinaci was outlawed by the UCI for being too radical, the headband couldn’t co-exist* with the newly arriving hard-shell helmet and it said arrivederci, I’ve heard something about this ‘step aerobics’, I’ll go there. Headband crossed national boundaries: Jean-François Bernard, Roberto Visentini, Dag Otto Lauritzen and Davis Phinney all engaged them with aplomb. It was form and function. Who doesn’t want to keep the eyes clear of sweat and who doesn’t want to look more awesome? Who, damn it? This was more than a sweatband, for sponsors it was a chance to increase the billboard surface area. For certain riders it was also fashion statement, like extra wide bell bottoms were a fashion statement. Pulling off the headband required having good hair or at least high hair. One would think Super Mario should have killed one (hair and Italian) but no, headband would interfere with his succession of perms and hair gels festivals. Even Mario realized he could have too much going on up there. On the other end of the spectrum, Sean Kelly would never have worn one, (god, please don’t let someone here find a photo of this). In the middle of the 1980’s spectrum, experimentation was rampant, they were rocked by Hinault and Fignon. It was a crazy world back then. *Gert-Jan Theunisse somehow made it co-exist, as only he could (see below).	<urn:uuid:b28b4e2f-2fd0-4b1f-81a1-93442a2c263b>	CC-MAIN-2020-34	https://www.velominati.com/in-memoriam/in-memoriam-the-headband/	2020-08-14T23:17:22Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740343.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200814215931-20200815005931-00053.warc.gz	en	0.969768	359
\|Consensus New Year\| Title text: The biggest jump is at 11:00am EST (4:00pm UTC) when midnight reaches the UTC+8 time zone. That time zone, which includes China, is home to a quarter of the world's population. India and Sri Lanka (UTC+5:30) put us over the 50% mark soon after. In this New Year comic, Randall is proposing a compromise for when to celebrate, or recognize, New Year's Day. These celebrations traditionally take place at the stroke of midnight between Dec. 31st and Jan. 1st, at the local time of the event's location. With "Consensus New Year", these celebrations would happen at the same time, world over, and would be at exactly 1:30 pm EST (6:30 pm UTC). At this time, about half the world's population would be in 2018 local time and the other half would be in 2019. This is due to the various time zones throughout the world, and the graph is based on the proportion of the population in these zones. This is based on the assumption that the entire world uses the same calendar system. Randall's graph shows the year starting on the same day for the entire world. While the Gregorian calendar is used as the civil calendar in most countries of the world, the Eastern Orthodox churches uses the Julian calendar, on which the year will begin 13 days later, and the year (as of December 2018-January 2019) is 1440 on the Muslim calendar and 5779 on the Hebrew calendar. Other countries have the same New Year as the Gregorian calendar but count years differently; for example, 2019 is the year 108 in Taiwan and 2562 in Thailand. The Wiktionary entry for "consensus" includes multiple definitions, including these two meanings: - (attributive) Average projected value - General agreement among the members of a given group or community In an attributive grammar structure, a noun is placed before another noun to assign an attribute to it. When "consensus" is used this way, it's a statistical term which means the average projected value of the modified noun. Randall properly uses this first definition for both the title of the comic and the graph itself, where the graph represents the average projected value of the percentage of the world population reaching the new year at any given time. Randall may be purposefully misusing the second definition of the word "consensus" to reflect the common misuse of the term consensus for the practice of majority vote. In scenarios involving group decision-making, consensus means that all or almost all members of the group will accept the decision. Depending on how it is done, this generally results in a slower decision-making process due to discussion, but decisions that many more people are happy with. Consensus can scale to large groups of people using approaches such as the spokescouncil model to speed dialogue. By this definition, Consensus New Year happens at one of the last four time zones as the last to "agree" enter 2019, so (nearly full consensus definition) 4:00 am, 5:00 am, 6:00 am, or (full consensus definition) 7:00 am EST on January 1, 2019. Consensus lies in contrast to majority vote, where a decision passes when over 50% of the people desire it. Majority vote is used in most current large democracies and is what most people are familiar with. It is quick to describe and implement, but can result in polarized political parties and a stark lack of minority rights, unless enough people develop concern for the issues that they are tempered with constitutions and logrolling. The leftmost horizontal axis label (10am EST Dec 31st) was an error. The point marked as 0% should be 5am EST (see table below). Additionally, some of the lines are shown with a slope, which is inaccurate. Since sun time is not used anywhere, a correct graph line would only consist of horizontal and vertical lines. \| Time EST \|\| Time UTC \|\| %Population in 2019 \|\| Regions entering 2019 \| 5:00 AM \|\| Pacific Islands \| 6:00 AM \|\| Pacific Islands, New Zealand (NZDT) \| 7:00 AM \|\| Kamchatka (Russia), Fiji \| 8:00 AM \|\| Magadan (Russia), Pacific Islands, Eastern Australia (Excluding Queensland) \| 8:30 AM \|\| South Australia \| 9:00 AM \|\| Vladivostok (Russia), Queensland (Australia) \| 9:30 AM \|\| Northern Territory (Australia) \| 10:00 AM \|\| Yakutsk (Russia), Japan, Korea, Eastern Indonesia \| 11:00 AM \|\| China, Irkutsk (Russia), Taiwan, Western Australia, Malaysia, Central Indonesia \| 12:00 PM \|\| Krasnoyarsk (Russia), Vietnam, Thailand, Western Indonesia \| 1:00 PM \|\| Omsk (Russia), Kazakhstan, Bangladesh \| 1:30 PM \|\| India, Sri Lanka \| 2:00 PM \|\| Yekaterinburg (Russia), Pakistan \| 3:00 PM \|\| Samara (Russia), Georgia, Oman, UAE \| 4:00 PM \|\| Moscow (Russia), Turkey, Saudi Arabia, East Africa \| 5:00 PM \|\| Eastern Europe, Egypt, Central & Southern Africa \| 6:00 PM \|\| Central Europe, Africa \| 7:00 PM \|\| (GMT) UK, Portugal, Ireland, Western Africa \| 8:00 PM \|\| Azores (Portugal), parts of Greenland \| 9:00 PM \|\| Parts of Greenland, Southern Brazil \| 10:00 PM \|\| Northeastern and Central Brazil, Argentina, Chile \| 11:00 PM \|\| Atlantic Canada, Venezuela \| 12:00 AM \|\| (EST) Eastern USA, Peru \| 1:00 AM \|\| (CT) Central USA, Mexico, Central America \| 2:00 AM \|\| (MT) Central USA, Western Mexico \| 3:00 AM \|\| (PST) Western USA \| 4:00 AM \| 5:00 AM \|\| Pacific Islands \| 6:00 AM \|\| Pacific Islands \| 7:00 AM \|\| Pacific Islands - [A graph labeled “Percentage of the world's population living in 2019” with Y-axis markers at 0%, 50%, and 100%, and X-axis markers at 10:00 AM EST Dec 31st, 1:30 PM EST, 7:00 PM EST, Midnight EST, 3:00 AM EST Jan 1st, and 7:00 AM EST.] - [The line graph shows the percentage increasing from 0 to 100% in several steps, with 50% reached at 1:30 PM EST.] - [Caption below the panel:] - Consensus New Year: as of 1:30PM Eastern Time (6:30PM UTC) a majority of the world's population will be living in 2019.

Sorry for the server downtime, it should be fixed now. --Dgbrt (talk) 17:24, 31 December 2018 (UTC) - So what was it? Hardware issue, failed software update, reconfiguration boo-boo, external attack, frozen process, Y2K+19 bug? Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 18:30, 31 December 2018 (UTC) - To be honest: I don't know. But probably a mixture of "external attack" and "frozen process" AND my laziness to check the health of the Wiki by 24/7. I figured it out when the BOT couldn't do the proper updates and some refreshing restarts to some processes did the job. --Dgbrt (talk) 18:54, 31 December 2018 (UTC) The leftmost label says "10:00 AM EST", but I'm 95% sure that it should be "5:00 AM EST". That makes sense both in terms of time zones / date lines, and also in terms of the number of hash marks (the 9th hash mark before 1:30 PM: 2 PM - 9 = 5 AM). --Brandon 220.127.116.11 19:35, 31 December 2018 (UTC) - Agreed. The minor scale tick marks appear to be at 1 hr increments past the "1:30 PM" denoted time. However that doesn't follow for before 1:00 pm to reach the labeled "10:00 AM" mark. 18.104.22.168 20:59, 31 December 2018 (UTC) - I suspect he failed to translate the label correctly to EST, since it would be 10:00 AM UST. I'm going to add some content into the explanation on the word "Consensus" from Wiktionary. It has multiple definitions that include both "agreement among the members of a given group" as in a common time to celebrate the New Year, as well as "Average projected value" that might also be applicable here. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 22:35, 31 December 2018 (UTC) - I'm watching the xkcd page to see if Randall updates the comic image to correct this error. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 00:50, 1 January 2019 (UTC) - It's been long enough now that I suspect Randall is not going to correct the error in the chart label. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 17:31, 2 January 2019 (UTC) I'm actually not certain Randall suggests a time for universal celebration of New Year. Apart from the word "Consensus", there's nothing to suggest it. Rather, I read it as a stated time where a majority will agree to the statement that it's now 2019. 22.214.171.124 22:38, 31 December 2018 (UTC)Wilhelm - I agree that he's probably not suggesting everyone should celebrate at some common time - see my recent edit on the meaning of consensus in the explanation. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 23:27, 31 December 2018 (UTC) Happy NEW YEAR!!! While Randall has to wait... in central Europe it just happened when I'm posting this. And in Germany we don't have only the "Autobahn" with no speed limit, every eighteen year old or older child plays with fireworks... Nonetheless not only in California there are some people giving more attention to a much more unique event: New Horizons is passing Ultima Thule, six light hours away from Earth. Let's see if Randall does cover this event. --Dgbrt (talk) 23:49, 31 December 2018 (UTC) On the topic of Orthodox churches using shifted Julian calendar: I can't speak for the entire world, but here in Russia it's not really relevant, since the church calendar is limited to religious matters, and New Year is a secular holiday. (But Orthodox Christmas will in fact be observed on Jan 7th.) There is an obscure holiday called Old New Year that is New Year shifted to 14th, but hardly anyone celebrates it and it certainly doesn't replace the regular one. 126.96.36.199 16:58, 1 January 2019 (UTC) I note that 3:00PM (UTC-3) lists only "Northern" Brazil. That's kinda correct (should be actually "Northeastern" Brazil), but the South/Southwest, which is actually where the largest part of Brazilian population lives, is nowhere to be found. Due to DST, it should be in the 2:00PM line (UTC-2), but that line is blank. Unfortunately, I don't have the population numbers on hand to fix the entry, much less to fix the world population percentages on the table.--MCBastos (talk) 17:04, 1 January 2019 (UTC) IP Address user 188.8.131.52 edited the explanation and replaced the Wikipedia definition references with an interpretation of how Randall incorrectly used the term "consensus" in place of majority vote - I don't agree that Randall has made any error, as I don't believe he intended consensus to represent majority vote. I'd like other opinions about restoring my original definitions in place of this new content, as I think it detracts from an understanding of the comic. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 22:35, 1 January 2019 (UTC) I eventually decided that "consensus New Year" meant "Agreement it is New Years," more or less. As midnight marches past people, more people concede that it's the new year. To me, Mr M is just giving an interesting graph. - (BTW, you failed to sign your comment.) I like to think Randall is smarter than just using a word without understanding every nuance of it - after all, writing these comics is his full-time job instead of just a pastime. The fact that consensus is sometimes understood that way is the very reason why I thought the definition that states otherwise was useful and informative. The definitions included "average projected value" that seemed to match exactly how it was used in the title (by grammatical structure) and in the graph (by definition), so I'm of the opinion that Randall knew this as well and would not have misused the word outside of it's correct definition. I believe he created the graph to represent the "average projected value" of the metric at each point in time, very explicitly and meaningfully; to think otherwise seems to me to be an insult to his intelligence. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 01:08, 2 January 2019 (UTC) I agree w/ you, and thinks it's an interesting graph from which one can't conclude much about RM https://xkcd.com/688/ . 184.108.40.206 03:23, 2 January 2019 (UTC) - I reinserted the definition info ahead of the explanation on concensus vs majority vote, which I appreciate the original editor adding. I think this better explains Randall's intentions, Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 15:56, 2 January 2019 (UTC) - Hey, I made the change to reference consensus decision-making. I'm sorry for stepping on your toes and I appreciate you bringing the change up. Consensus is not a widely known process, but can really help communities work together, and in my opinion would fix some problems with current government, so I valued including it. I figured that Randall had simply never heard of it, and I didn't want misinformation to spread. I don't feel it's good to assume that Randall's misuse was purposeful, because it could spread the view that speaking unclearly in unobvious ways is funny, when in reality this spreads misinformation as most people don't have the knowledge to get the joke. Randall and his audience's expertise is STEM, not meeting facilitation and community organization. There have been some edits since my slightly-rude replacement; how do you feel about the article as it stands? 220.127.116.11 17:28, 2 January 2019 (UTC) - No problem here. I did my best to work with what you had added before, and I am good with the additional changes you made. Great teamwork, huh! Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 20:48, 2 January 2019 (UTC) I think the table is wrong I don't see how 100% can be reached before "western Mexico", "MST", and "PST". California alone has a population of about 40 million, so it would seem as though at least 1% of world population would have to be "western Mexico", "MST", and "PST". - Additionally, some :30 and :45 timezones are missing (not sure whether they are missing from the xkcd graph itself) Thisisnotatest (talk) 03:35, 2 January 2019 (UTC) Saddly, I don't think that the Chinese population would consent in being "again" in 2019, nor that their New Year would be at 1st of January. --18.104.22.168 00:42, 3 January 2019 (UTC) Maladr - You'd have to tell that to Mao Zedong in 1949, when he decreed that the People's Republic of China would use the Gregorian calendar with AD year numbering.

Brew's Crew: The muse of the Surfer's soul, Shalla-Bal of Zenn-La! (Editor’s note: This is another in a series of irregularly-scheduled columns by Managing Editor Byron Brewer, mainly dealing with cosmic comics and their many denizens. Mr. Brewer’s opinions do not necessarily reflect that of CosmicBookNews.com. He welcomes both raves and opposing views.) By Byron Brewer Shalla-Ball of Zenn-La was the true love of Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer. While trapped here on Earth, he dreamed of her and even rescued her from Mephisto a time or two. Once released from his Earth captivity, he rushed to her side but … well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Shalla-Bal is the Empress of her utopian planet, Zenn-La (in the Deneb System, Milky Way Galaxy, I believe), and was the lover of Norrin Radd. When the planet-eating Galactus came to their world, Norrin Radd volunteered to become the Herald of Galactus in exchange for sparing Zenn-La. Norrin Radd was given the Power Cosmic and became the Silver Surfer, thus separating him from his true love for a long. long time. Eventually, the Surfer rebelled against Galactus, who trapped him on Earth as punishment. Mephisto, who desires to defeat the Surfer and steal his noble soul, sensed the anguish of this separation within him, and used Shalla-Bal as a pawn in his conflict with the Surfer. As part of a conspiracy Mephisto replaced the consciousness of Shalla-Bal so that she believed herself to be a regular citizen of Latveria named Helena, and Dr. Doom organized a false marriage celebration with her in order to make the Surfer fight the Fantastic Four. Meanwhile, Galactus consumed the life energies and ecosphere of Zenn-La because of the Surfer's betrayal, but spared the lives of its people by warning them of his coming beforehand, allowing them to return to the lifeless husk afterwards. When Reed Richards freed the Surfer from his imprisonment, he returned to Zenn-La to find it in this state and learned that Shalla-Bal had been abducted by Mephisto. Finally understanding the conspiracy Surfer returned to Latveria to find Shalla-Bal, imprisoning himself once again on Earth. The Surfer bestowed a portion of his Power Cosmic to Shalla-Bal while Mephisto was sending her back to her planet, and she was able to use this power to restore the life on Zenn-La. She was thus accepted as an Empress by her people. However the responsibilities of her office made Shalla-Bal refuse marriage with the Surfer when he eventually broke free from Earth again, and he told her that their romance was over. She was later held hostage by the Elders of the Universe, but was rescued again by the Silver Surfer. Shalla-Bal later met the Kree leader, Nenora. She asked the Surfer to protect Zenn-La from the Obliterator and made an alliance with the Skrull Empress S’byll against the Kree. She was informed by the Cotati that Nenora was actually a disguised Skrull. Shalla was captured by Nenora's Kree Sentry, but freed by the Cotati. She told S'byll and the Surfer about Nenora's true nature, and was returned to Zenn-La by the Surfer. Shalla was later taken captive by the Enslavers, and was then reunited with the Surfer. Shalla-Bal was later abducted with the planet Zenn-La by the Great One. She was briefly reunited with the Silver Surfer, but disintegrated along with the Great One's pocket universe. The Surfer later sought to return her to life. After years of rejection, Shalla-Bal once became romantically involved with Fennan Radd, a man who claimed to be the Silver Surfer's half-brother by his father. Fennan claimed to have been born after Norrin's mother Elmar committed suicide. Shalla never seemed happy with Ferran, often thinking of the Surfer. In a shocker, it was later revealed to the Silver Surfer that Zenn-La and everyone on it was just an elaborate illusion created by Galactus so the Surfer would have a place to call home when he was free from Galactus' service. Zenn-La and all its inhabitants had been killed by The Other in the Earth year 1947. Surfer said his last goodbyes to his beloved Shalla-Bal before she and the entire planet evaporated before his eyes. Whatever Shalla-Bal’s future, if there is indeed a Shall to worry about, will be something the Surfer may take up later in Marvel	<urn:uuid:2036559f-d466-46c0-b214-4a9d300a80a7>	CC-MAIN-2017-30	http://www.cosmicbooknews.com/content/brews-crew-muse-surfers-soul-shalla-bal-zenn-la	2017-07-25T21:56:13Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549425381.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20170725202416-20170725222416-00027.warc.gz	en	0.980792	1,035

Why Archbishop Wuerl Can No Longer Punt on Pro-Abort Politicos (Hat tip: Creative Minority Report) Rick at Divine Ripples writes that Archbishop Wuerl of D.C. "needs to discipline pro-abortion lawmakers": ... That may sound like common sense, but not when one considers the position of the Archbishop of the nation’s capital. In a statement, he says that the spiritual direction for Catholic politicians who publicly support abortion, “can best be made by the bishop in the person's home diocese with whom he or she presumably is in conversation.” It is like the politician from CA who works in DC for a year is suppose to be guided by her bishop in CA even if she commits scandal in DC - like supporting abortion despite the explicit prohibition of the Pope himself.My Comments: The problem with the right to life issues is that only one party is considered and others are overlooked e.g. the mother but not the child and in this case the visiting politician but not the resident parishioners. Correct me if I am wrong, but what some bishops don’t get or refuse to understand is the impact of the politician’s reception of the Eucharist to the faith community. The politician who defies the bishops’ and pope’s teaching, guidance and orders about defending life goes and receives the Communion as though she did nothing wrong or was unaware of any wrongdoing scandalizes the community. There is a pastoral approach to help the politician by tolerating that until she sees the light. But what about the pastoral approach to the faithful who are confused and scandalized into wrongdoing. They would think, “The bishop allows her to receive communion even if she supports abortion, so abortion might not be that bad. Then, they go and procure it themselves or advise others of the moral relativity based on that praxis. And all this from the perception that the local bishop gave when he relegated the duty of spiritual guidance to another bishop and worse when he neglected his pastoral responsibility to control scandal in his local faith community. As others have pointed out, Archbishop Wuerl is in a bit of a predicament where HHS Secretary-designate Sebelius is concerned. Her bishop, Archbishop Naumann, has already taken corrective action in regard to her pro-abort policy making. Archbishop Wuerl is now faced with implementing Archbishop Naumann's directives in regard to Sebelius or ignoring them.

Black world map floor tom stool Black world map floor tom drum stool upholstered in a printed 100% cotton, with chrome hardware. Upholstered in leather, fabric or vinyl with hard wearing contract-grade foam, these stools can be used as seating or footstools. Floor Tom drums are a similar depth to a bass drum, but are slightly narrower. We have found that these are popular for use in rooms where a bass drum seat is too large. Our floor tom stools are approximately 45cm wide and 45cm tall, but this does vary slightly between seats.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items ) This modern adaptation casts Tartuffe as a deposed televangelist who rooks Orgon and his family of their money and property and nearly compromises Orgon's wife. The action takes place in a religious television studio in Baton Rouge where the characters cavort to either prevent or aid Tartuffe in his machinations. Written in modern verse, Tartuffe: Born Again adheres closely to the structure and form of the original. Moliere's legendary comedic characters are delightfully at home in this modern day version that played at New York's Circle in the Square. Posted September 4, 2000 I love Moliere and know that Jean-Baptiste Poquelin himself would split his knickers reading this wonderful adaptation of his magnum opus. Ms Thomas is a rhyming, comic genius.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

The process from engagement to The Big Day feels like a very long, tedious race – a marathon of sorts. Picking out wedding invitations, a dress, the cake, the venue – that’s the bit you jog through, saving your energy (if you’re lucky). Then there’s the wedding day – that’s the sprint to victory. It’s a whirlwind of a day; full of your loved ones, nuptials, nibbles and everything else that comes with it. It’s busy and it’s probably going to get a bit messy. Your makeup, let’s be honest, isn’t likely to last the journey, especially what with all the smiling, kissing and crying that occurs throughout the day. However, with a bit of help throughout the day, you’ll stay picture-perfect from the ceremony to the end of the reception. Here are a few of our tips to help you put your best bridal face forward: Consider the wedding’s colour scheme first when deciding on makeup This is a vital key to consider long before the day is upon you. Depending on the theme of the wedding, you’re going to want to complement, not contrast your surroundings. It’s surprisingly easy to get carried away with all the frills involved with deciding on your wedding makeup, but take it easy on the plum lipstick if the colours around you are peachy, yellow hues. Have a long talk with your makeup artist (if you have one) and ask for their advice. Leave as much time as possible on the big day to get hair and makeup done The best way to avoid constant touch-ups throughout the day is to make sure that it gets done perfectly to begin with. This means having as much time as is humanly possible before the ceremony to arrange and set every follicle of hair and to clean and make up your face perfectly without the added stress of needing to be somewhere in an hour. Prime, prime, prime Priming is absolutely essential to reduce your makeup wearing off throughout the day. For some of you, this may already be a part of your regular routine but you’d be surprised to know how few people actually do this. Once you’ve cleansed and moisturised, priming helps to prepare your face for make up and to hold it there once it has been applied. Throughout the day, you are going to have your loved ones hugging and kissing you in congratulations. Even if you wanted to avoid it, let’s be honest – you’re not going to be able to dodge an overwhelmed mother or aunt. If it so happens that your makeup gets spoiled in the moment, keep some blotting paper in your bag, then dab it on the spoiled part to remove the stain. Once most of the stain is removed, apply concealer. Nathalie is the chief wedding coordinator and head of marketing at Pillingers.

It was a typical day in mid-March for Discovery Communications Chief Executive David Zaslav, starting with a morning talk to cable industry bigwigs at Manhattan’s Paley Center for Media, where he skewered the competition. “Broadcasters put their content online for free, which pushed their stock up. But they’re not making much money now,” said Zaslav. Then it was on to Chicago, where he met Oprah Winfrey to talk branding strategy for the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), a channel Zaslav will launch by early next year. After Winfrey, he dialed into a flurry of conference calls with his sales team back at Discovery With a Cheshire cat’s grin and the energy of an 18-year-old, Zaslav is taking Discovery everywhere. In his two short years as chief executive he has rebranded three channels in the U.S., launched 20 new networks or feeds overseas and taken the company public. Its stock now trades on Nasdaq, hovering at $17. Along the way he’s replaced the heads of every one of those 13 networks. Discovery’s senior managers are fiercely loyal to Zaslav, but practice a button-down camaraderie with their boss, calling him by his nickname, “Zazz.” In the midst of the worst advertising recession in history, ad sales at Discovery’s U.S. networks rose 6% during the fourth quarter of last year. Its revenues of $3.4 billion in 2008 were up 10% from the prior year. These bellwethers come largely from better ratings and higher cost per thousand impressions in some markets, and the fact that Discovery earns half its revenue from cable company subscriber fees, largely unaffected by the ad recession. Cable networks are notorious for rebranding channels on the cheap–akin to slapping a new coat of paint on a fixer-upper. Zaslav often opts for a tear-down strategy. He turned Discovery Home, which fared poorly against HGTV, into Planet Green. He converted Discovery Times, pegged to documentaries and New York Times content, into the ID: Investigation Discovery network, which focuses on crime. It turned into the fastest growing non-news network in 2008. Zaslav is taking other, riskier bets, like spending $15 million to shoot an ocean of content in high definition for domestic and overseas viewers. Discovery now broadcasts HD in 24 countries. “HD may be the new analog,” quipped Zaslav to Paley Center Executive Director J. Max Robins. Maybe. But will non-U.S. audiences pay for it? Zaslav will soon find out. He spends one-third of his time abroad, where the Discovery shows are watched in 173 nations (an average of five channels per country). He likens markets in Europe to the U.S. cable industry in the late 1990s. Back then, it was common for operators to grow 15% annually. Zaslav studied law at Boston University, clinching his first break in cable in 1985 as a fill-in lawyer for Discovery, then a tiny cable channel built around nature and science shows. Discovery’s founder, John Hendricks, launched the channel that year with $5 million in seed money. Zaslav traveled the country with Hendricks for six months, watching Hendricks cajole cable operators into carrying the fledgling network. Hendricks convinced Zaslav cable was a nascent medium waiting to catch fire. Zaslav wrote a letter describing his stint with Hendricks to NBC chief Robert Wright, who had a similar vision and a desire to move NBC into cable. Zaslav and Wright hit it off and Zaslav joined the network, helping Wright launch CNBC. Zaslav went on to head NBC Universal Cable, sticking with the network for 18 years, where he had a hand in launching or marketing MSNBC, the History Channel, Sci Fi, the Sundance Channel and National Geographic. Zaslav returned to Discovery in January 2007, discovering a far larger company known for shows like Crocodile Hunter and American Chopper. Discovery was healthy but suffered from spotty ratings growth, in spite of hits like Trading Spaces and Monster Garage. Sizing up the competition, Zaslav noticed something else: “Court TV and A&E were moving away from crime,” he says. In a meeting at Discovery’s 500,000-square-foot headquarters, where a 40-foot model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex looms over visitors in the lobby, Zaslav told his staff it was time to show some teeth. “I want to go all in,” he said. “Let’s own crime on cable.” In early 2008 Zaslav launched Investigation Discovery using content from the company’s 20-year-old programming vaults. Now the channel’s expanding crime genre is delivering shows like The New Detectives (how DNA evidence and autopsies work) and Deadly Women (profiles of notorious female killers). The channel rolled out in the U.K in January and will come to Moscow next month, marking Discovery’s seventh channel in Russia. The ID channel has pretty tame fare compared with Moscow’s homegrown crime drama. Recent shows include Telespetsnaz (Commando TV), Dezhurnaya Chast (Police Precinct) and the infamous Dorozhny Patrul (Road Patrol), whose on-air talent often arrives at crime scenes before the police, trampling over evidence and dismembered bodies. Discovery will likely fare a lot better with Winfrey’s new network. The channel is steering clear of crime, opting for a 24-hour schedule of lifestyle, health, financial and self-help programming. Zaslav will create OWN by rebranding Discovery Health, now nearly a decade old, but making very little money. Oprah will be Discovery’s biggest brand–and maybe Zaslav’s boldest move. Broadcasters beware.	<urn:uuid:de124777-0b80-4b2e-af9f-9a677c8b23c6>	CC-MAIN-2014-23	http://www.forbes.com/2009/03/23/david-zaslav-discovery-communications-business-media-zaslav.html	2014-07-29T13:10:55Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510267330.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011747-00411-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.954624	1,257
