Individual and Group Counseling: A Competency-Based Manual for In-Service Training.
Fagen, Stanley A.; Guedalia, Leonard J.
This manual presents the content and activities employed in the inservice course entitled "Individual and Group Counseling," to sensitize teachers and counselors working with mainstreamed students. The manual is designed to develop competency in effective counseling centering around four basic abilities. Module 1 provides an overview of concepts and skills for counseling and helping. Module 2 focuses on understanding and clarifying communications. Skills for responding with respect and empathy are taught in Module 3. Module 4 promotes an ability to use one's own thoughts and feelings, by sending "I Messages" to further trust and acceptance in a helping relationship. The course and modules are intended for regular as well as supplementary teachers, and it is in such a way that the counseling skills learned will be used in the classroom with regular and special students.

This week, I read some interesting news that the first machine-learning generated textbook had been published. The book, titled Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Machine-Generated Summary of Current Research, is just what it says it is— a summary of hundreds of scholarly articles on the topic.
Reading through hundreds of unique documents, structuring the content topically, and summarizing the information is exactly what machine learning systems do well at this point in time. I can imagine a public-facing machine learning tool that would let users enter their areas of interest and generate a similar kind of summary on other topics. What is also compelling about this is that the original source is easily linked to, so that a reader can explore more in-depth scholarship in any particular area.
What machine learning struggles with (so far) is writing captivating, original content like journalism or poetry. There are some interesting examples such as the Poetry Generator (and it's user-guiding cousin, Masterpiece Generator) that demonstrate the current state of things. Yes, it is poetry, but the examples it generates are often laughable. While this is an interesting milestone, it made me think about some of the work being done to automate design with machine-learning. There are enterprise applications available now, like Microsoft's Power BI, that allow you to type in a natural language question on your dashboard and have a custom report compiled as a response. Could machines replace UX/UI designers in the future?
What about an automated AI Designer? We have a long way to go to get there, but I do think it is achievable — at least within certain constraints. Here are some areas that I think machine-learning will first impact design:
1) Automated Design Builder
Good design usually follows a set of underlying rules on a number of different levels. There are also often clear de facto standards for certain types of websites like an ecommerce store, a dental office website, or a restaurant website. A machine-learning system could ingest thousands of examples of similar designs and deduce standards for things such as sections, button placement, labels, and field order. I can see a time when a wizard could interview a user about what is needed and generate a UI based on a set of pre-defined rules. This would be so quick and easy to do, that it could generate variations for review and feedback. This could replace easy-site-builder tools like Wix in the near future.
2) Automated UI QA
Consistency is a key sign of a well-designed UI. Like those articles about battery technology, a machine-learning system could look at a few or a few hundred screens and look for inconsistencies in things like labels, object placement and typefaces. Like a spell checker, this system could suggest a replacement, and let you accept the suggestion or enter a change of you own.
3) Really Smart, Smart-Guides
A smart assistant could be embedded in a development tool to suggest the locations, labels and interactions for new UI objects that follow this set of rules. A system like this would need to remember the old "garbage in, garbage out" rule.
4) AI Stylizer
Another system in the foreseeable future could be tools that let you construct a complete system using basic wireframe shapes and then allow you to apply a visual style to the system of your choice. Think of something similar to an automated style sheet — you could dial in attributes such as "more modern" or "more whitespace."
5) AI Design System
Consistency within a system as well as consistency between systems is often hard to achieve. Instead of giving system developer choices of different styles, machine-learning tool could provide governance. An approved design system could be documented as a set of machine-learning rules that would allow easy additions or even completely new systems to be created following the rules of the system by default.
Is AI on the verge of replacing the UX/UI designer? I think we have a long way to go and have other, more important, problems to solve. I do think we will see some narrow solutions, like the ones described here, in the coming year. In the end, I like to think that good UX/UI design more like poetry than a summary of academic research. | <urn:uuid:7415e5ce-665d-4956-84de-61103fc4040a> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://kellyfranznick.com/will-ai-replace-ux-ui-designers/ | 2020-04-05T07:04:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370529375.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200405053120-20200405083120-00384.warc.gz | en | 0.952276 | 879 |

Sounds to me like he got the pushrod length wrong. That and probably too high compression with the RA IV heads on a 455 so it was probably detonating/pinging to death.I'm running a 1970 455 in my TA with 6x-4 heads, custom ground cam, edelbrock performer RPM intake, etc. Stock valve train other than the Comp Cams roller tip 1.52:1 rockers.Runs like a bat out of hell with 3.42:1 gearing out back. Really haven't tried roasting the tires because, quite frankly, I spent WAY too much getting the car on the road to lose it doing something incredibly stupid.
As for opening my car up, no thanks. I've had it up once around 90 and it got squirrelly. Like I said, I spent WAY too much on my resto to turn it into a new Honda doing something incredibly stupid. Or lose my license. Or hit someone while showing off. Too many variables and I'm too old to cuddle up with Bubba in a 6x6 jail cell.

When discussing the right, it might be helpful to distinguish between authoritarian and libertarian.
Politics make for orthogonal alliances.
Bible-thumpers or solipsists.
The Right is all about Small Government until it comes to telling people (especially women) The Right Way To Live.
Couple of US conservative women on CBC the other day were saying they're voting Republican anyway because of the economy, completely forgetting that if The Right had had its way 100 years ago these women still wouldn't be voting at all.

The podcast on pinball, videogames, and tabletop has another episode majorly focused on pinball. Manly because of the news that has come out recently. SO. MUCH. NEWS. Plus, pinball and tabletop merge as they talk about the new game, Pinball Showdown which is on Kickstarter.

Uruguay Soccer Legend Left Off World Cup Guest List
RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Alcides Ghiggia didn't get his ticket. Normally, he's invited to the opening match of the World Cup. After all, he's a soccer legend in Uruguay. The 87-year-old is the man who scored the winning goal back in 1950 against Brazil, the last time Brazil hosted the World Cup. Brazilians have never forgotten that painful loss, and somehow, someone forgot to invite Ghiggia to today's opener in Brazil. This is MORNING EDITION.

When it comes to my body, I’m bad. Physical health is a challenge for me. But I do it anyways. Because it drives home an important life lesson. You have to be bad in order to be good.
In this episode, I talk about:
- Retrospective on doing the 25x5k challenge
- What physical challenge is next for me
- How my body impacts the other areas of my life
Good Morning, everyone. Welcome to the Path to 1 Million. This is going to be episode 166. So today is November 1st. I completed my 25 by 5k challenge. And I know I’ve talked about that a lot lately. What I’ve been thinking about over the past few days is what I’m going to do for my next body challenge. The reason why I spent so much time and effort thinking about these body challenges is because really overall in my life being on this 1% journey is about focusing on all the areas because I really do believe that all the areas of your life are interconnected. Mind, body, business, relationships. I recently added spiritual to that list as well. So what can I do on a daily basis that’s going to help me to improve on these main areas of my life? So when taking a look at the next challenge that I want to do. Yesterday one of my good friend of mine, Ryan posted a note and asked me if I was going to do this GRIT challenge.
Now I belong to this monthly group of marketing, entrepreneurs these misfits that we don’t really fit anywhere else together, but we fit really good together. And they started doing this thing called a GRIT challenge where every single day the physical trainer in our group, CJ releases a new set of exercises for our people to be able to go out there and complete these every single day. It’s something different. Sometimes the exercises are something that you can do in your home. Sometimes you have to go to a park. Sometimes you have to find like, one of the challenges was to run uphill and do some kind of burpees, challenges or things like that. I really thought about signing up for that cause I thought it’d be really cool. 28 day challenge to do. And my only problem is is that during the month of November, there’s going to be a four or five day stretch where I’m moving, I, I’m thinking of, you know, here I am, I’m in the middle of Texas or I’m in Oklahoma or Missouri or whatever state that I’m in while I’m in the process of moving, trying to find a rest area or a park or someplace else like that that matches the criteria of the challenge.
And the thing is, is you have to do the challenges every single day. You can’t skip a day. If you, if you skip a day, if you don’t post, if you don’t put your stats up there, they kick you out. Right. That’s, that’s one of the rules of being in this 28 day challenge. It’s, it’s a pretty high bar to meet and I would absolutely love to push myself to meet that challenge, but I just don’t think I can do it because moving across the country is going to be stressful enough. I’m going to have enough on my mind as I’m moving without having to worry about trying to find a park or a rest area or someplace that I can go to actually, you know, meet these criteria. So the thing is is like what can I do over the next 30 days? Cause I still want to do a challenge, right?
These, these challenges have become very important to me for the reason that it drives home a very key lesson that I learned in life. And actually I’m reading a book right now that’s called Copywriting Secrets because I do want to get better at writing copy at being able to write better messaging that is going to take clients that is going to take clients of clients and get them to take some kind of an action. Whether that’s to sign up for something or to schedule an appointment or, or buy a service or whatever that is. But I want to get a lot better at copy writing. And I had some experience at that earlier this year. I fell in love with it, so I want to get better. But what’s interesting is that with that whole speech right there inside of the book, he wrote something that I thought was interesting.
He says, “You have to commit to getting good at something. And then you gotta go do it. And then you have to practice it. But before you can be great, you have to be good. Before you can be good, you have to be bad. And before you can be bad, you have to try. But you have to do something.” And it reminded me of when I started this whole 25 by 5k challenge, I knew that I was going to have to go out and train myself to actually run a 5k. And so the first time that I went out there, I remember I skipped week one and week two of the training and went right to week three. And the first very first day that I went out running is, you run for five minutes, walk for three, run for five, walk for three, repeat for, you know, 30-40 minutes or something like that.
And I remember that when I went out there and I said, Oh, I can run for five minutes. So I ran for five minutes and at the end of five minutes, man, I was sucking wind. I mean, I couldn’t believe it. I was like way out of shape. I’m like, Oh, I go on, you know. And I kept looking at my phone, I’m like, man, am I have five minutes yet? You know, come on, five minutes, get there. Maybe, maybe the, maybe the clock stopped. Anyways, I made it to five minutes and I stopped and I walked for three and I just remember sucking wind, sucking wind, sucking wind, right? I was bad at it. I was absolutely horrible at running a 5k and I thought to myself, man, this is going to be an uphill battle. But you know, the thing is is that you have to be bad in order to be good.
And you know what, as the weeks went by, five minutes became eight minutes, which became 10 minutes, which became 12 minutes, which became 15 minutes of running. And I was pushing myself that entire time. And then when I finally got to a point where I was actually able to go out and run a 5k without stopping, that’s when I started the 25 by 5k challenge. But it wasn’t until towards the end of the 25 by 5k challenge that I realized that I could break the 30 minute mark. And for me breaking that 30 minute mark, that’s great. So I went from being bad to being good. Maybe I could actually run a 5k and after a while of being good, suddenly I had the opportunity to become great. And I decided it was worth that pursuit. So it’s just a lesson in life, no matter what you do matter where, where I’ve gone, I’ve always started out being bad at something, but you can’t be, you can’t be good unless you’re bad and you can’t be great unless you’re good.
That’s just how the process goes. Doing these physical challenges for me drives home that point. Cause like I said before, I’ve never put a lot of emphasis on my body. I mean, I’ve always tried to be healthy, but the older I’ve gotten, the more I realized that my health is more important. I want to have a good quality of life forever. So doing these physical challenges for me anyways has been a gateway to remind me that that’s the important lesson in life. So anyways, for my next challenge, what I’ve decided to do, I’d love to do that GRIT challenge. I think that would be so much fun. It would be tough both mentally and physically. I’d love to do it. But like I said, there’s going to be like a four or five day period where I’m moving across the U S and I do not, I just don’t think it just be too much for me.
So what I’ve decided to do is I’ve done a another, I’ve implemented a 30 day challenge and I will be starting today, but my challenge will be the 3,000 burpees. That’s going to be my challenge. So every single day I’m going to be doing 100 burpees. Every day. And granted the last time that I did burpees was some time last year, I can’t remember exactly when 3000 burpees, I will be doing a hundred burpees every single day over the next 30 days. And every Monday is going to be a measurement day where I’m going to see if I can do 100 burpees faster than I could a week before. So guarantee you that during the first week or maybe even week and a half of doing this, I am going to be bad at doing these burpees. But you know what? After when I start bleeding into week two and week three, I’m going to start being bad at burpees to start being good at doing these burpees.
And then the last week I am going to get to the point where I’m going to be great at doing burpees. That’s just how the process goes. So anyways, that’s going to be my next challenge. It’s going to be starting today. If you don’t know what a burpee is, I’ll probably be releasing a video later on today. I’ve got a couple of phone calls this morning and a couple of meetings this morning. So I’ve looked for that probably sometime this afternoon, but I’ll be releasing a video of that happening and I’m going to be going from there. So anyways, I just wanted to thank you guys for stopping by today. I do appreciate your time and attention. I hope you guys have a fantastic Friday. If not, make it a great Friday. I will be back again tomorrow with another story. But look for my burpee video later on today, but I’ll be back again tomorrow with another story and I will see you guys at that time. | <urn:uuid:5243d702-6132-4f20-9c89-450c640e3b8b> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://pathto1million.com/path-to-1-million-ep-166-being-bad-in-order-to-be-great/ | 2019-11-22T22:46:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496672170.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20191122222322-20191123011322-00372.warc.gz | en | 0.97316 | 2,282 |
Malaria outbreaks and tick-borne diseases could happen in the UK as the climate warms up, according to a report.
New research shows there is a one in 40 chance that by 2012 south eastern England will have experienced a serious heatwave. Periods of very cold weather will becoming less common while periods of very hot weather will be more common.
Winter deaths will continue to decline as the climate heats up with flooding an increasing risk.
The updated report on the “Health Effects of Climate Change in the UK,” published by the Department of Health, says health authorities need to remain alert to the possibility of future European malaria outbreaks or to the arrival in the UK of better European vectors of malaria.

Try and test and research new and other social media marketing techniques as well as opportunities. You can find literally thousands of numerous ideas to upping your social media presence as well as boosting your marketing on-line. If you get trapped in one straightforward strategy, you might be missing out on a fresh technique that may significantly help the business.
Do not forget LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a smaller amount popular when compared with FACEBOOK or Twitter; however you can find really influential customers on this site. Give a LinkedIn ‘share’ button on the articles, along with chances are that somebody that shares your posts on LinkedIn may cause dozens of individuals to share that on some other websites.
Test adding images to your social media web site. People get you a better knowledge of a product whenever they can literally view it. And, when we understand your products, they are more prone to purchase that. You do not need to get too many photographs; just a few ought to do the job.
Utilize FACEBOOK to obtain some really low cost marketing possibilities. Make an expert business account as well as create a business page. Take some time to find information about your competitors in FACEBOOK to determine how much of a name they have, and just what they would to get which. Do not replicate what they does, but utilize their web page as an example for is operating or what’s not.
If you are intending to use a MICROBLOGGING support, try receiving as many enthusiasts as possible. A lot more important people along with responding to remarks on a MICROBLOGGING services are much harder in comparison with using social networking websites, generally due to the variation of updates which MICROBLOGGING users get involved their RSS feeds. A post changes regularly also constantly look for brand-new followers.
Use linking programs on FACEBOOK to post for your other social media information at the same time. These types of linking software are a massive time saver. Whenever you post a communication on FACEBOOK, it will immediately post the identical message in your FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE. Com, and Google+ information, so you need not sign directly into all of them to publish the same content material.
Be wary involving hiring a social media marketing organization. Many of these companies operate fraudulent procedures to rip-off inexperienced internet marketing business entrepreneurs. The companies make use of thousands of phony twitter, Fib and YOUTUBE. Com accounts, that they can create employing proxy computers and automated enrollment bots. The advertisement then it rarely noticed by a real man or woman despite the watch count as well as the large amount of funds you have compensated the social media marketing business.
Your subject is crucial with a good submit. Most social CPA networks encourage you to definitely keep your content short, of course, if you were to create a long write-up, chances are no person would invest time to read it. Test posting a web link to your report with a good head line that each grabs your current readers’ attention as well as explain what the article is is around.
Have an objective for your social media marketing strategy. You need to establish a goal associated with why you are entering into the social media industry.

Consider this an invitation to be messy.
Yep, I’m asking you to scatter some bread crumbs.
As I look at each new year, I try to focus on something I can finish or at least make progress with.
I’m inviting you to do the same.
In 2016, what is your most pressing genetic genealogy goal? Or maybe your most important genealogy goal that DNA might be able to help you with?
Limit yourself to one ancestor or couple, please, and list their name first so it’s easy for people to see. Be specific so that someone who sees the breadcrumbs can follow them and can determine whether or not they are from the right family line to help you.
Here’s my example.
My 2016 Brick Wall That Needs to Fall
I am brick walled on my Moore line.
James Moore, born about 1721, was first found in Amelia County, Virginia in 1742 on the tax lists. That part of Amelia would later become Prince Edward County, Virginia. He was a neighbor to Joseph and Rachel Rice and married their daughter, Mary, around 1745. James Moore is mentioned in Joseph Rice’s will in 1766 as his son-in-law. By 1770, James and Mary Rice Moore are living in Halifax County, VA, where they live for the rest of their lives. James and Mary’s death dates are uncertain and there is no will. Their children are:
- James (marries Susanna and believed moved to Stokes Co., NC)
- William (Methodist minister, marries Lucy, stays in Halifax Co.)
- Lydia (unproven, marries Edward Henderson, stays in Halifax Co.)
- Mackness (marries Sarah Thompson, moves to Grainger Co., TN)
- Rice (Methodist minister, marries Elizabeth Madison, moves to Grainger Co., TN)
- Thomas (unproven, married Polly Baker, dead by 1804 in Halifax leaving 2 orphans)
- Sally (marries Martin Stubblefield, moves to Grainger/Hawkins Co., TN)
- Mary (marries Richard Thompson)
We do have Y DNA samples from three of James’ sons’ lines, so we know what his Y DNA looks like. But we cannot find any matches to any Moores other than the Moore men that we know and love as cousins or who are also disconnected at a later date.
My shout-out is this. If you’re a Moore male whose early lineage comes from Virginia or even Pennsylvania, and your line hasn’t been Y DNA tested, please, PLEASE Y DNA test at Family Tree DNA. The only way we’re ever going to connect James with an ancestral line is through Y DNA testing. I’ve already combed the records of relevant and even just potential feeder counties with no luck. Many records have burned.
Also, if anyone is descended from James Moore’s children’s lines, please take the autosomal Family Finder test at Family Tree DNA or contact me if you already have tested at Family Tree DNA or elsewhere.
Please feel free to list your 2016 genetic genealogy goal in the comments section. You don’t know who is going to read your goal and be or know the right person to solve your problem. People Google 24X7, and yes, my blog shows up in google search results. As I used to tell my kids, “If you don’t ask, the answer is no.”
So….ask away and scatter a few breadcrumbs. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You just never know what wonderful discovery may be waiting in the shadows, or who is going to find your breadcrumbs. As you can see, someone already found mine and it didn’t take long at all!

* 4.89% (30-year fixed)
* 0.36 (average points)
Here's a look at the state of mortgage rates from Bankrate.com's weekly national survey of large banks and thrifts conducted Dec. 8, 2010.
Mortgage rates continued to catapult upward in the latest weekly survey, with 30-year fixed home loans climbing a sharp 18 basis points to 4.89%.
The relatively sharp increase comes after several weeks of rising rates and, if the trend continues, would send 30-year fixed rate mortgages over the 5% threshold in the near future.
The ascent was even more severe for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, which climbed 19 basis points, to 4.26% from 4.07% a week ago. A basis point is one-hundredth of 1 percentage point.
Other popular home loans had more modest hikes, but rose nonetheless. The 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage hit 3.85%, a gain of 11 basis points. With a 5/1 ARM, the mortgage has a fixed rate for the first five years, then is adjusted annually for the remainder of the loan's term.
Meanwhile, 30-year jumbo mortgages were at 5.39%, a hike of 10 basis points.
The latest mortgage figures come as a new survey shows that Americans continue to have grave misgivings about the direction of the housing market.
The survey, released jointly by Trulia.com and RealtyTrac, found 58 percent of American adults expect recovery in the housing market won't happen until after 2012. One in five respondents believe it will be 2015 before housing regains its economic health.
"Government incentives have come and gone, and historic lows in interest rates have done little to spur recovery,'' says Pete Flint, CEO of Trulia.

* 0.49% (1-year CD yields)
* 1.5% (5-year CD yields)
Here's a look at the state of CD rates from Bankrate.com's weekly national survey of large banks and thrifts conducted Dec. 8, 2010.
CD rates broke their nonlosing streak in this week's rate survey. All in the survey slipped a bit.
The average one-year CD yield fell 2 basis points to 0.49%. Also down 2 basis points, the average five-year CD yield came in at 1.5%.
Jumbo CDs also lost some ground. The average one-year jumbo CD yield is down 2 basis points to 0.54%. The five-year yield lost 1 basis point to 1.52%.
For the 14th week in a row, the average money market account yield is 0.19%.
If low rates on savings vehicles have you despairing, there are alternatives. For instance, high-yield checking may be the answer to your rate woes. There are some high-yield checking programs with rates as high as 4%. For more alternatives to skimpy savings rates, read "5 ways to beat puny savings account rates."

* 6.19% (60-month, new car)
* 7.16% (36-month, used car)
Here's a look at the state of auto loan rates from Bankrate.com's weekly national survey of large banks and thrifts conducted Dec. 8, 2010.
Auto loan rates fell further this week into record-low territory. New-car rates were lower across the board, with the average rate for a 60-month, new-car loan falling 3 basis points to 6.19%. The rate for 48-month, new-car loans also slid, dropping 2 basis points to 6.22%.
Used-car loans were also lower in this week's survey. The average rate for a 36-month, used-car loan shed 5 basis points, to 7.16%.
This month the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, proposed new requirements for rearward visibility in cars and trucks by 2014, according to a report by The Detroit News. The requirements are intended to prevent motorists from accidently backing over pedestrians, particularly children under 5 years of age, 100 of whom are killed in such accidents every year. To comply with the proposed rules, automakers would most likely have to install rear-facing cameras and screens in new autos, adding between $159 and $203 to the cost of producing a new vehicle.

Here's a look at the state of home equity rates from Bankrate.com's weekly national survey of large banks and thrifts conducted Dec. 8, 2010.
Loans based on home equity saw little movement in the latest Bankrate survey.
Home equity loans rose 1 basis point, to 7.09%. A basis point is one-hundredth of 1 percentage point.
Meanwhile, loans known as a home equity loan of credit, or HELOC, were unchanged at 5.49%.

Here's a look at the state of credit card rates from Bankrate.com's weekly national survey of large banks and thrifts conducted Dec. 8, 2010.
Changes in the Bankrate.com survey were the cause of some of the rate drops this week. A dwindling number of credit cards in the survey carry a fixed annual percentage rate, or APR. The removal of one fixed-rate card this week due to its new purchase rate of 59.9%, previously 23.9%, caused the average to plunge 72 basis points to 13.04%.
Several cards from a federal credit union were added this week. The average APR for variable-rate credit cards dropped 12 basis points to 14.45%.
On Tuesday, TransUnion released its annual forecast for national credit card delinquencies. The credit reporting agency, based in Chicago, predicts that the ratio of credit cardholders past due 90 or more days on at least one account will decline from a projected rate of 0.75% at the close of 2010 to 0.67% at the end of 2011.

Commerce Bank Triple Crown - 1.HC
USA, June 3-8, 2008
Race 5 - June 8: Philadelphia International Championship, 251.0km/156mi
Breschel's patience pays off in hot sprint
By Mark Zalewski, North American Editor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
CSC repeats Philly win, Breschel wins triple crown
The expected sizzling temperatures forecast for today's Philadelphia International Championship did not disappoint, as the mercury rose from the low 80s (30 Celsius) in the beginning of the race to 98 degrees (36 Celsius) by the finish more than six hours and 156 miles (251km) later. This resulted in one of the slowest races in the 24 year history and seemed to doom any breakaway from surviving.
Back in the peloton the CSC team kept their cool - both literally and figuratively - making sure their riders were topped off with fluids and not working too hard, gambling that it would be a field sprint. And the plan worked, as the young Matti Breschel was set-up ideally coming into the long final straightaway. The 23 year-old Danish rider held-off his sprint until the perfect moment, keeping Kirk O'Bee (Health Net-Maxxis) and Freddie Rodriguez (Rock Racing) from coming around him on the line.
"We only had six riders and not such a strong team," said Breschel about his team's strategy for the day. "We know this distance from racing in Europe and we know to take care of ourselves - and wait, wait, wait the whole time. In the end we put one guy in front to pull with the other teams but otherwise everybody took in easy."
"It's a really hard sprint, and it's not my style to wait the whole day," Breschel continued. "I tried it out a couple of times on the wall but I knew when we went on the three last laps it was coming down to a sprint, so I took it easy and prepared myself. I was by myself on the last lap and I didn't have a good position over Lemon Hill, so I struggled to get a good position before the roundabout. I got a good position on the right side and took it easy for a few meters."
From there it was only Health Net-Maxxis able to have any organized effort with John Murphy leading-out the US criterium champion Kirk O'Bee. "Going into the last kilometre I saw him [in front] but he was on the left and I was on the right," Murphy told Cyclingnews. But as soon as we hit the fountain he got to the outside and I said, 'Let's go!' It was awesome, I don't know if he saw me or what, because as soon as we connected I took him all the way."
But the infamous finish stretch in Philly is deceivingly long and with a stiff headwind Health Net was one rider too few, and with 200 meters to go Murphy's thermostat redlined. "We were going and I think [Kirk] was waiting but I started to die. The CSC guy jumped us and then [Kirk] went, but I was tunnel-vision at that point!"
Despite coming up just a few meters too short, O'Bee was all praises for his team's efforts. "I was in the totally wrong position until 1km to go. I was just sitting at the back conserving [at 3km] but luckily Frank [Pipp] was back there with. Frank took me up Lemon Hill all the way into the roundabout. Then Murphy was behind me and gave me a perfect lead-out! He was a little bit short by like 50 meters but the CSC jumped with a strong jump, so what can you do?"
In third was former winner Freddie Rodriguez. The veteran champ got an easy rider early in the race with teammate Tyler Hamilton in the first break. But coming into the final time up Manayunk and into the finish, he knew from experience he had to be clever on the front. "With 2km to go over Lemon HIll we got a gap with about five guys and I had to make sure I was there. I did that and then coming into the last kilometre it is always a little sketchy, but once you hit the corner it always is smoother."
"Health Net did a good job in the lead-out for O'Bee. But it bogged down, understandably, in the final 200 meters because of the headwind that was really strong, and CSC played it right to come from behind with speed. Kirk had good legs today and we both were just on the front too early. I hit the famous pothole on the street and almost lost it, and I just came off O'Bee's wheel. It's been there since we started racing and I think over the years it is settling more and more!"
Earning the title king of the wall was Davide Frattini (Colavita-Sutter Home who gained his lead by virtue of being in the main break of the day. The Italian rider said he was not planning on going for the points, but was trying to take the pressure off his protected teammates such as Sebastian Haedo.
"When CSC and High Road wasn't there I knew it would be difficult, so I had to try and save the legs for my teammates," he said. "I was to help Alejandro Barrajo and [Sebastian] Haedo, but unfortunately we lost [Haedo] in a crash. I wasn't going for the KOM but I set the tempo on the climb. The first two or three [laps] the Jittery Joe's guys passed me so I told him to go for the KOM but on the next lap he wasn't there anymore. So I thought yeah, okay, now I am going for it!"
The heat, which by some thermometers on course hit 100 F (38C), was definitely a factor all day, but also in the field sprint. Big names such as former winners Greg Henderson (High Road) and Henk Vogels (Toyota-United) were not there, nor speedsters like Ivan Dominguez (Toyota-United) or Daniele Bennati (Liquigas).
"It was just a really tough day, that was a survival sprint!" said sixth place Tyler Farrar (Slipstream-Chipotle-H30). "I saw Eisel moving up so I followed him but the legs were just locking up in final 100 meters."
Teams were doing just about anything to beat the heat, in addition to the huge amounts of cool liquids. "We were getting socks full of ice every lap, sticking them down the back," said Farrar. "I don't even know how many bottles I drank today - I don't remember the last time I raced in weather this hot."
The sixth place was even more impressive for Farrar who had recently been sidelined by an infection. "This was the first week of racing I have done since Georgia. I was supposed to to Picardie and Catalonia, but I got this really weird infection in my saliva glands and spent four days in the hospital. I was already on a two week break and it turned into four weeks off the bike. But my speed is coming back fast and this might set me up well for July if the team decides to take me to the Tour."
Breschel's win here was much bigger in context, as the Dane had suffered a horrible crash in early 2006, nearly ending his career as he entered his twenties. For him, the prestige that this race has garnered over the years made the win his biggest yet. "I had some nice victories but this is the biggest, that is for sure," he said. "They know the race over there. There is a lot of prestige in the race - it used to be the American championship so they know Philadelphia over there."
How it unfolded
The opening kilometres were much slower than usual for the 190 starters, likely due to the expected temperature spike later in the day. Much of the first large lap out to Manayunk was spread across the road. Coming into 'the wall' the usual sprint to the turns before the climb were slower than before. Finally, in the final 500 meters before the tight chicane Slipstream-Chipotle moved to the front. Their captain Magnus Backstedt led the charge, towing a few of his teammates to the bottom in perfect position.
The first time up the wall was all the peloton needed to spring into action. On the 'fall off the wall' the peloton split, and attacks began. Everyone seemed to want to be in the first move of the day as some predictions were that a good early move might stick due to the heat.
The first main break of the day did not come until the fourth lap, consisting of Edward King (Bissell Pro Cycling Team), Davide Frattini (Colavita-Sutter Home), Brad White (Team Successful living), Daniel Ramsay (Time Pro Cycling), Benjamin Kneller (Jittery Joe's), Richard Geng (Rite Aid Pro Cycling) and Tyler Hamilton (Rock Racing).
This break had the biggest gap on the day at around 8:30, but the heat made short work of chasing them down. A few laps later the break had shed Geng and Kneller, with the others still pushing on. But the gap to the field had been cut in half with teams such as High Road and Slipstream doing a lot of the work.
On a later lap the wall had taken a huge bite out of the peloton, causing a split about halfway back. A group of 20 riders formed a chase group with some pretty major names in it. This brought the break even closer. Inside of a minute the peloton and reformed and the break continued to dangle. Magnus Backstedt decided to try to jump across and suffered in the gap for a few kilometres. But once he made it across the field was within sight.
Approaching the wall the next lap all but Frattini had been caught, with the Italian deciding to give it a push to at least secure the KOM lead. In the usual counter attacking after a catch, two riders slipped away - the powerhouse Canadian Svein Tuft (Symmetrics) and Francisco Matamoros (Tecos-Trek). Not long after another well-known break rider Glen Chadwick (Team Type 1) joined the duo. While Matamoros was not feeling well enough to pull, the other two committed themselves.
"As soon as Chadey came up and we rolled it the Tecos guy started wavering," said Tuft. "I would have never rolled it if it wasn't Chadey, but if you have two strong riders I don't care what the Mexican did - he wasn't going to be a factor so you just put your head down and go. We had a gap and the field was screwing around, so you just play it the best you can."
"I actually crashed a couple of laps before," Chadwick told Cyclingnews. "I bent my deralier and had a bike change. On Manayunk my chain got caught between the 23 and spokes, and the bunch split. As we caught back on I had some momentum and so I just put the hammer down."
After catching the two, Chadwick immediately took the front. "Tuft and I were working well but Tecos rider just wouldn't pull with his. I think that's just the way they ride. We tell them to ride but they'll just point to their ear piece and point back to the team car. He did come through a couple of times , but we could have stayed out a bit more if he'd worked and it would have meant me and Tuft would have been a bit stronger."
"The first few laps I didn't feel well and I wasn't pulling," Metamoros said. "I didn't pull until the last lap [we were away.] This course isn't for me as much, I like to climb more, but it was still a great course."
The last time up the wall the break was inside of one minute, and Chadwick made sure he rode under O'Brien's watering hole. Chadwick's break mate Tuft said that access to the spray fountain set-up by the pub on the wall was pretty fair all day in the bunch, adding that it made things a little nicer on the steep climb. "It was pretty fair because it was always strung out, but that was sure nice!"
As they headed back to Lemon Hill with only the three finishing laps ahead of them the break was caught... well all except Tuft who decided to go it alone. He lasted all the way through the finish line and onto Lemon Hill before the effort sank him. "As soon as you put a long effort in out there you start feeling it," he said about the heat. And then lights are going out!"
Lemon Hill was the launching pad for the rest of the attacks with Oscar Sevilla (Rock Racing) over the top first the penultimate time. But it was Rory Sutherland (Health Net-Maxxis) and Chris Jones (Team Type 1) who converted it into a break, pushing it to 10 seconds. The final time up Lemon Hill the two break riders sat-up while Slipstream's Martijn Maaskant whacked it up the climb.
Off the climb with 2km to go it was High Road setting the early organization. But that changed as Vincente Reynes Mimo (High Road) made a last-minute solo attack at 1.5km. He was caught as the field approached 1km with no clear organization. That is when John Murphy saw his Health Net teammate Kirk O'Bee on the opposite side of the train. Luckily the Logan Square roundabout forces the lines to change, and O'Bee was then all of a sudden on the outside with Murphy able to take him around.
But the distance from the circle to the line, about 600 meters, was just too much. As Murphy ran out of gas CSC's Matti Breschel jumped around him on the left, forcing O'Bee to the other side and following Breschel as he posted-up on the line. | <urn:uuid:d607d4bb-80b6-43b5-af04-714d797c2d5e> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/jun08/commercebank08/?id=results/commercebank085 | 2014-10-25T02:51:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414119646944.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20141024030046-00083-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986599 | 3,004 |
With the imminent rise in energy costs expected on January 1, households across the UK are urged to take proactive measures to avoid overcharges and manage their winter bills effectively. Natalie Mathie, an energy expert at Uswitch.com, highlights key steps to navigate the impending surge in energy prices.
Rising Costs Prompt Precautionary Measures
Mathie emphasized the significance of ensuring accurate charges for the energy consumed over the past three months, especially with escalating costs coinciding with the coldest period of the year. “Households on standard variable tariffs will witness a surge in energy bills this winter,” she warned.
To mitigate potential overcharges, Mathie outlined essential steps:
Meter Readings Crucial Before January 1
For households without smart meters, submitting meter readings to their energy supplier around December 31 is critical. This timing ensures that December’s usage will be billed at the current, lower rates, averting the impact of pricier January prices.
Highlighting the direct correlation between energy usage and bills, Mathie stressed the importance of vigilance and regular meter readings. “The more you use, the more you’ll pay,” she cautioned, urging households to remain vigilant and monitor usage closely.
Practical Steps for Cost Management
In addition to meter readings, Mathie recommended several practical steps for households:
- Check Meter Readings Regularly: This ensures accurate billing and allows suppliers to adjust direct debit amounts accordingly.
- Verify Direct Debit Payments: Ensuring payments align with actual usage prevents both under and overpayment.
- Explore New Deals: Utilize comparison sites like Uswitch to discover and potentially switch to more cost-effective energy deals.
- Explore Support Schemes: Investigate available energy support schemes or grants that could alleviate financial strain.
Tracking and Implementing Changes
To aid in cost control, Mathie advised using smart appliances that offer insights into energy spending and provide tips for reducing bills. Additionally, staying informed about the energy market fluctuations can aid in making informed decisions.
Small changes within households can yield significant savings:
- Adjusting thermostat and boiler settings
- Managing radiator settings by bleeding and regulating valves
- Optimizing appliance usage
- Enhancing insulation with door seals and window dressings for improved energy efficiency
Financial Benefits of Home Adjustments
Simple actions like draught-proofing can yield substantial annual savings of up to £50 by preventing heat loss. Such measures, Mathie affirmed, contribute significantly to reducing energy bills amidst rising costs.
As households brace themselves for heightened energy expenses, these preemptive measures can play a pivotal role in mitigating financial strains. Mathie urged proactive engagement, stressing that vigilance and small adjustments can make a substantial difference in managing winter energy bills.
In light of the impending cost surge, implementing these recommendations could prove instrumental in alleviating the financial burden many households might face with increased energy prices. | <urn:uuid:79c58aa2-9372-4115-a0e1-4094a75eca29> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://daily-news.org.uk/health/britons-advised-on-avoiding-overcharges-in-energy-bills-this-winter/ | 2024-03-01T23:02:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475711.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20240301225031-20240302015031-00545.warc.gz | en | 0.900928 | 596 |
The Respiratory Service Framework
Developed by the PCRS Service Development Committee, the Respiratory Service Framework (RSF) helps those looking to design a patient focussed respiratory service working across all sectors of out of hospital care to see the ideal components for a given population of patients. It has been designed to be applicable and helpful to those delivery care at a PCN or ICS level.
Patients with respiratory disease deserve care that is standardised, patient focussed and delivered by a healthcare professional with suitable training and experience, in a site and timeframe to meet their needs. Sadly, this is often not the case.
The Respiratory Service Framework (RSF) seeks to demonstrate what excellence is – and how it may be delivered at a population level and across the patient pathway. It will help those seeking to design a patient focussed respiratory service working across all sectors of out of hospital care. It is applicable to those delivering care at PCN or ICS level.
It builds on the work previously undertaken by PCRS to develop a series of care standards for GP practices as part of its Quality Award programme.
RSF Interactive Resources
To support the framework, and to improve the ease with which users can find the relevant resources, we have developed an Interactive Respiratory Framework Resources page.
Conduct a workforce calculation to help to help you understand your service requirements
Practical tools and resources
Practical tools and resources to support you when using the respiratory service framework
Webinars and videos
Video presentations to support you when using the Respiratory Service and Workforce Framework
Service Development Committee
The purpose of the Service Development Sub-Committee is to drive improved practice and system change by equipping primary care clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to work across the NHS at local, regional and national levels.

The Elk Lake Hut Backpack Trip, Saturday/Sunday 28th 29th Nov. 2015. Thanks Tudor for the trip report.
Sunny skies and great skiing weather, compared to last year’s -30 and cancelled. The set tracks and snow conditions very good. Depth of snow 40 cm on our downhill to hut. Temp: -19 at start at trail head parking, to plus in afternoon sun. We were eight: Kelly, Linda, Judy, Barb, Amanda, Bob, Dion and Tudor; and Saturday sleepover with four others in the hut.
Backcountry Backpacked Steed.
We’re off the set tracks;
Barb’s behind pulling bobsleigh,
and whipping this unbroken back country bronco
on a rough tracked carousel.
I wobble, mogul my way
down the steep Hydro cut line,
levelling off at times;
and on challenging mid section,
bucked off many times
into feathery deep snow…
….my head a merry-go-round,
getting no-where fast,
but past the saying:
three tries for a Welshman!
After my eighth, I prank off my skis –
“I’ll walk,” and duly stepped through
the thin packed upper crust,
to the knee deep base.
Fall after fall, takes my stuffing.
With Alpine Christmas-turkey-supper ahead,
back on, couple more blips,
then near perfect bottom section
to the hut.
Many a but, but not beaten.
Back out, a re-waxed new day,
through overnight gloriously cut diamond snow,
uphill to track set, with rocking horse stability…
…and stable tracked sprint to finishing post.
Next year, skins for sure.
© Tudor (this, my first Club trip, first loaded backpack, and mogul like downer)

“Compared to 2006 and 2010 we are stronger, younger and full of enthusiasm. Italy is a fantastic team but we can beat them. We are a good group with the right mix of experience and freshness. We want start the World Cup well also to repay the trust of our fans.”
Roy Hodgson, the coach of England, is confident of winning tonight as well:
“We studied Italy since the day of the draw. They are a good team with many good players, but we are in a great physical condition and we want to win.”

I was surprised to run across a company that sells replacement keys for laptops. And after reviewing the many online resources they offer, decided to try it out. The process couldn't have worked out better. I just followed the simple procedure outlined on their website and was completely satisfied with the results. They covered every aspect, from finding the correct replacement parts to installing them. Many thanks to them. I typically don't give 5 stars to anyone.

Starting July 1, it’s going to cost Minnesota nonprofits more to get a donation through GiveMN.
The online giving agency has worked to keep transactions low since it started up in 2009.
But, because of increased costs incurred by its technology provider Razoo, the fee for transactions on GiveMN is jumping from 2.9% to 4.9%.
Executive Director Dana Nelson stated in a news release that “The technology required for keeping GiveMN innovative, secure and reliable comes with significant costs. Even with this increase, GiveMN still offers one of the lowest transaction rates for online giving. Credit card processing fees alone are 3% on average. On high-tech platforms comparable to Razoo, transaction fees range from 4.75% to 15%.”
According to GiveMN, more than $73 million has been channeled to Minnesota charities through its site. | <urn:uuid:b87edb40-946d-4451-9980-a2c2b0f71050> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://blogs.mprnews.org/state-of-the-arts/2013/06/givemn-increases-transaction-fee-for-donations-by-two-percent/ | 2021-03-01T02:03:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361808.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228235852-20210301025852-00619.warc.gz | en | 0.970558 | 179 |

FRESNO, Calif. - Despite persistent rain throughout the day, the Fresno State Bulldogs and UC Davis Aggies were able play game one of their four-game series Friday night.
In the end, the Aggies were able to pull out a 4-2 victory behind a solid start by Eddie Gamboa (1-0), who worked effectively to quiet the Bulldogs' bats. Fresno starter Justin Wilson (0-1) took the loss for the Bulldogs.
Things looked good early for the Bulldogs as first baseman Ryan Overland launched a towering home run over the right field wall for the early lead. But Bulldogs batters saw little time on base after that, as they managed only 4 hits in the game.
Fresno State also struggled defensively, committing two errors that eventually led to two unearned runs for the Aggies. A third unearned run came in the ninth inning after a Danny Grubb passed ball.
The Bulldogs had a couple of scoring chances late in the game against the Aggies but were unable to come through with the clutch hits.
Saturday's scheduled double-header between the Bulldogs and Aggies has been moved up to a noon start, with the second game beginning approximately 30 minutes after the end of game one.
Saturday will also be a historic day for Bulldogs baseball as Fresno State baseball legends Dick Ruthven and Tom Goodwin will have their respective jersey retired and remembered on the left field wall of Beiden Field. The ceremony is scheduled to take place between games one and two, or at 4 p.m. if rain should cause game cancellations.
"Join the State - Fresno State!" - The Fresno State baseball team continues their weekend home series against UC Davis in a doubleheader on Saturday, February 23 beginning at 2:05 p.m. and a single game Sunday, February 24 at 2:05 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com, by phone at (559) 485-TIX, in person at the Bulldog box office or at Beiden Field on game day.

New battery materials developed by the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Lab and a Maryland company could enable electric vehicles, power tools and even cell phones to recharge in minutes rather than hours.
In collaboration with a Princeton University researcher, the Lab has demonstrated that small quantities of graphene – an ultra-thin sheet of carbon atoms – can dramatically improve the power and stability of lithium-ion batteries, while maintaining high energy storage capacity. The pioneering work could lead to the development of batteries that store larger amounts of energy and recharge quickly.
Today, a typical cell phone battery takes between two and five hours to fully recharge. Researchers think using new battery materials with graphene could cut recharge time to less than 10 minutes. | <urn:uuid:8ed8bf6c-1db6-415d-819d-30cecaa28148> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://federalnewsradio.com/technology/2010/07/new-batteries-provide-shorter-recharge-times/ | 2015-07-01T12:24:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375094924.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031814-00017-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941586 | 143 |
Parkinson's disease is a neurological condition which is believed to affect over 6 million people world wide. It is caused by neurological defects in the substantia nigra. Several studies have been done to explore whether or not acupuncture can benefit people with Parkinson's disease. Many of these studies have found some benefit, one acupuncture point that has been particularly effective in studies is GB34.
A study recently published in CNS Neuroscience and Therapeutics, examined the effect needling GB34 has on the brain using fMRI to try and determine how it affects Parkinson's disease. Previous fMRI studies comparing control groups to people with Parkinson's disease have shown lower activity levels in the thalamus, putamen and other areas related to motor function. This study was designed to investigate the association between GB34 and Parkinson's be seeing how treatment at GB 34 affected the brain regions shown ti have low activity in people with Parkinson's disease.
24 participants were involved in the study, half healthy and half with Parkinson's. All were examined using fMRI before acupuncture and again afterward. Results indicated increased neural responses in brain regions impacted by Parkinson's disease after stimulation of acupuncture point GB34.
This study was very small, and the authors note that follow up studies will be needed to confirm their findings. However the results of this study suggest that acupuncture can have a direct effect on brain function with resultant benefits for people with Parkinson's disease.
The study was led by S. Yeo of the College of Korean Medicine, Kyung Hee University. | <urn:uuid:81f14c66-556e-4eda-aea2-9e6f55370c85> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.aconitemedical.com/blogs/news/7266572-effect-of-acupuncture-at-gb34-on-parkinsons-disease | 2014-07-23T13:57:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997878518.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025758-00242-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965424 | 307 |

The owner of WA’s second-biggest wind farm has confirmed it is considering offloading the asset in a bid to cut its bulging $1 billion debt mountain.
Responding to reports yesterday that it was planning the sale of $1.2 billion of wind farms as part of a radical shake-up of its Australian business, Infigen Energy said the move could give it more financial flexibility.
“Infigen Energy continues to assess a range of options to provide improved financial flexibility,” the company said in a release to the securities exchange.
“Infigen Energy also continues to deal constructively with bona fide opportunities that might advance the group’s strategy, including (among other things) potential asset sales.
“Infigen will provide disclosure to the market if and when it becomes appropriate or required.”
It gave no details about the fate of its only WA asset, the 90 megawatt wind farm near Walkaway 30km south-east of Geraldton.
The farm provides power exclusively to Alinta Energy, which onsells it to WA businesses.
Electricity from the wind farm is exported through a 132kV transmission line, which crosses the wind farm site.
Infigen has other farms in the US and around Australia which, unlike Walkaway, are connected to a national grid, meaning the local operation could be ripe for selling.
Since commencing operations in 2006, the Infigen site has been dwarfed by the UBS-backed Collgar wind farm in the Wheatbelt, which opened in 2011 at a cost of $750 million.
But since that deal, the WA Government has changed rules for the wholesale electricity market, which have cut revenue at some wind farms by as much as 30 per cent, in a bid to reflect the cost that intermittent wind power places on the State’s grid.
Despite these changes, State-owned generator Verve is planning to significantly increase WA’s share of renewable energy supplies by spending $600 million to build the State’s biggest wind farm.
In documents lodged with WA’s environmental watchdog last year, Verve said the Warradarge wind farm, about 270km north of Perth, could produce enough electricity to power 140,000 homes.

Godawful editing aside, Stallone’s “The Expendables” was nevertheless a pretty damn good time at the theaters. How could you not feel like a school boy in a candy store while watching the film? I know I did, but that may be because I was actually wearing a schoolboy uniform while watching it, but that’s another story.
Current box office numbers have “The Expendables” taking Friday with an estimated $13.5 million, which is good news because the film was always expected to make around $30 million in its first week thanks to some excellent advance tracking in terms of moviegoing awareness and enthusiasm. Looks like all that insider stuff actually works. With $13.5 already in the bank, and Saturday and Sunday still to come, the manly blow’em up should easily make, if not surpass its predicted $30 million-or-so take. Get ready to hear even more talk of an “Expendables 2″.
Julia Roberts’ chick flick to end all chick flicks, “Eat Pray Love” came in second with $9 million, while Edgar Wright’s fanboy-friendly “Scott Pilgrim vs The World” barely managed the Top 5 (coming in at #4) with a measly $4.7 million on Friday. The film got great reviews, and pretty much everyone who saw it adored the hell out of it (including our very own Todd Rigney — read his review here). Alas, all that love does not seem to have translated into any type of box office sugar for the comic book movie. Weep, fanboys, weep.
The final tallies on Sunday should tell the tale, but “The Expendables” seems poised to take the weekend unless the chicks flock en masse to see “Eat Pray Love” on Saturday and Sunday, which is entirely possible. Who can truly understand what chicks do the things they do? It’s like asking why they always go to the bathroom together.

In Organic We Trust
Produced and directed by Kip Pastor
People have come to assume that organic certified food is the gold standard of real, uncontaminated, pure food. When interviewed and asked why he eats organic foods, the average person on the street will usually say it is healthier for you, it’s not exposed to pesticides, and then his voice trails off because he doesn’t really know much more than that.
This film takes a close look at what is under the rug of the organic industry, and it’s not as clean as most people might think.
The philosophy that inspired the organic standard included concepts like working with nature, using no chemicals, no irradiation, no GMO, no sludge, and acknowledging that soil quality is where it all starts. If you don’t have good soil, it doesn’t matter what you grow or how you grow it. Certain pesticides are allowed by organic standards but they are all natural, whatever that means. The organics philosophy also intended that food ought to be from local sources, not shipped from the other side of the planet.
So how well does the organic industry as a whole stick to those principles? If I mention that the USDA oversees and controls organic standards that might trigger some doubts among those who are familiar with such government agencies. But it gets even more doubtful. The USDA does not directly inspect organic farms but authorizes independent inspection organizations to do that. Inspections are only done once per year. If I were suspicious I might think that leaves a lot of time to mess around between inspections. Another suspicious fact is that the inspectors are paid by the farmers they inspect. Funny how often conflict of interest is at the core of everything a government agency does. To top it all off, the USDA really has no oversight over farms and producers from other countries. Is that “organic” food from China or any other country really organic? Who knows?
The producer scheduled an appointment to interview the USDA for this film which was then cancelled by the USDA. Showing the usual lack of spine, the USDA evaded any further attempts to be interviewed. The producer doesn’t waste a lot of film time suggesting approaches to fix the USDA. The main solution offered here is to forget about the USDA and their organic certification and go local, and even to grow your own food as much as possible. I happen to agree and so does my UP-turned thumb.

Women pledge that when her daughter in law is expecting they will take care of her full comfort, give her iodine salt and iron folic acid tablets and provide her with full nutritious food.
The purpose of this video is to encourage the community to take action to prevent malnutrition. It explains simple things one can do to prevent malnutrition.
It is intended for the community at large.
A woman pledges that when her daughter in law is expecting she will take care of her full comfort. A second woman pledges that she will give her iodine salt and iron folic acid tablets. A third woman pledges that she'll provide full nutritious food to her expectant daughter in law. I'll make sure she takes green leafy vegetables, pulses, eggs, milk and fruits in good quantities.
The war on malnutrition has already begun. You too take a pledge to join us. And always remember these four things.
One - Correct diet for the expecting mother
Two - Mother's first milk is the best
Three - Only breast milk for the first six months
Four - After that, balance mother's milk with a nutritious diet
So, remember the four things. Say yes to all of them and say "Malnutrition, Quit India".
Malnutrition is a lack of the right nutrients in the body.
A child is specially prone to the dangers of malnutrition from the time of its conception till two years of age. This is a very important period for overall long-term growth.
Malnutrition in India
Malnutrition in children and women remains as one of the greatest challenges in India. Malnutrition remains a major threat to the survival, growth and development of children.
Today, nearly every second child in India is a victim of malnutrition.
It means they are physically and mentally weak due to which they are targets to many ailments, deformities, disabilities and allergies affecting normal growth mentally and physically. So we should jointly wage a war against malnutrition!

Google demonstrated running a web browser on its computerized glasses to its employees recently, we hear from a source close to Google.
It seems Google is actually serious about the project if it's coming along at this kind of pace.
When Google co-founder Sergey Brin walked around wearing them shortly after they were unveiled, we heard the glasses did little more than boot and shut down.
That was just about two weeks ago.
A concept video shows Google's computerized glasses running location-based applications, video chat, maps and other social applications like Google+.

TPO: Thermoplastic Polyolefin and PVC: Polyvinyl Chloride
What are TPO and PVC?
These roof systems are synthetic substances that are softened when heated, but harden upon cooling. These roof membranes are single-ply and can be installed using a variety of methods including mechanical attachment, point-affixed and fully adhered.
Benefits of TPO and PVC Roofing
TPO Roof Systems
TPO membranes are made with a co-polymerized rubber that allows them greater flexibility in cold climates. This membrane is best recognized for having the benefits of EPDM and PVC systems, at a more economical cost. TPO membranes are white and highly-reflective, making them an excellent choice for those looking to reduce energy costs. In addition to being ENERGY STAR rated, TPO’s recyclability makes it an environmentally conscious system. TPO roofs are durable and resist dirt, bacteria and debris build-up making them highly resistant to tears, punctures and impact damage.
PVC Roof Systems
First installed in the early 1960’s, PVC was the industry’s answer to the oil crisis, as it was the first membrane to contain half of the fossil fuels normally used in system manufacturing. Engineers discovered that adding additional solid plasticizers to the PVC membrane allowed for additional weatherability and flexibility, where the membrane alone would be more susceptible to seasonal climate changes. To this day, PVC membranes remain incredibly versatile, chemical resistant and are highly recommended for roof-over projects. They are available in a variety of colours, thicknesses, widths, and reinforcements, making them an excellent option for almost any roofing project.
Along with the environmental benefit of using (fewer) fossil fuels in the manufacturing process, PVC is highly reflective/UV resistant, making the membrane an energy efficient option for warmer climates.
Why choose CentiMark Ltd. as your TPO or PVC contractor?

For many families, having a child diagnosed with autism can be emotionally devastating. Governor Jim Doyle says it can also take a massive financial toll because most insurance companies don't cover treatments for the disease. As a result, he says some families spend over $50,000 each year to pay for treatments. However, Doyle says many children go without treatment if their family can't afford the care.
Doyle wants lawmakers to act quickly on legislation that would require insurance companies to provide coverage for autism-related medical treatments. The Governor says it's needed to provide the care and support the children need and deserve, and also help relieve the financial squeeze on their families.
The Governor says requiring the coverage would also ease the burden on a state program that provides waivers to help families pay for treatment. The program currently has an 18-month waiting list, but Doyle estimates mandated coverage would help to remove at least one-third of those signed up right away.
The state Senate approved the bill last session, but Assembly Republicans blocked its passage. The GOP argued the state should instead focus on expanding the waiver program.
The legislation will receive a Capitol hearing next week. | <urn:uuid:eadbf405-856d-4b5c-b215-1e48aac604df> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.wrn.com/2009/02/governor-urges-action-on-autism-mandate/ | 2021-08-02T19:41:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154356.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20210802172339-20210802202339-00675.warc.gz | en | 0.97776 | 232 |
On Tuesday, we have an extraordinarily important decision to make. Many look at the economy and wish the recovery was happening more rapidly. Some would like to see a larger return on their stocks. And a select few look at their family and hope each day for the same protections most every other family in the country currently has.
You might remember this letter I posted last week from young Sophia Bailey Klugh.
Ten-year-old Sophia penned a letter to President Barack Obama. In the letter, she told the President how happy she was that he agreed with her on the topic of marriage equality. You see, young Sophia has two dads.
She continued on and asked the President an important question.
“I am so glad that you agree two men can love each other because I have two dads and they love each other, but at school kids think that it’s gross and weird, but it really hurts my heart and feelings…If you were me and you had two dads that loved each other and kids at school teased you about it, what would you do?”
Thank you for writing me such a thoughtful letter about your family. Reading it made me proud to be your president and even more hopeful about the future of our nation.
In America, no two families look the same. We celebrate this diversity. And we recognize that wherther you have two dads or one mom what matters above all is the love we show one another. You are very fortunate to have two parents who care deeply for you. They are lucky to have such an exceptional daughter in you.
Our differences unite us. you and I are blessed to live in a country where we are born equal no matter what we look like on the outside, where we grow up, ow who our parents are. A good rule is to treat others the way you hope they will treat you. Remind your friends at school about this rule if they say something that hurts your feelings.
Thanks again for taking the time to write me. I;m honored to have your support and inspired by your compassion. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to dinner, but I’ll be sure to tell Sasha and Malia you say hello.
Governor Mitt Romney‘s campaign recently stated that he believes gay and lesbian families visiting one another in the hospital is a privilege and not a right. Additionally, he has spoken out against gay parents adopting children.
I hope that young Sophia wakes up on Wednesday morning to find there’s someone in the White House who believes her family should have the same protections as every other family in the country. | <urn:uuid:1cfb28de-b3cb-419d-9560-8c3055b558b5> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2012/11/obama-responds-to-10-year-olds-heartfelt-letter-about-her-two-dads/ | 2017-02-23T13:52:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171171.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00128-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97972 | 538 |
Good morning from Logan Airport. We're waiting for a 6 a.m. flight to Detroit and a four-day Red Sox road trip. Quick turnaround from covering the game last night, but a window seat on the plane will provide a chance to nap.
The Red Sox (44-30) at the Tigers (39-31) should be a fun series because the teams lead their respective divisions. Plus getting to see Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder play for four days is a treat.
“I think we felt coming into this month this presented … a very strong test for us,” John Farrell said. “We’ll get four full days of them. They’ve got a couple of pretty good players over there. We’re going to get challenged in Detroit. We know that. But I’d like to think they’re probably going to feel the same when we leave there.”
Lots of Bruins jerseys in the airport this morning. This is certainly an interesting time in Boston sports with the Bruins in the Cup, the Red Sox with the best record in the American League and the Celtics seemingly on the verge of trading Doc Rivers.

Questions from our workshop attendees...
This is a loaded question even though it comes up at least once at almost every workshop. The selection of type styles is largely a matter of personal taste and utility. The answer is usually different for each example. To understand what works and what doesn't, some basic rules should be observed.
First, you should always be careful not to allow typographic technique to be its own goal. These days the DTP and design writers in magazines are having a tough time coming up with things to write about. Typography is always an easy hit, so we're continually reading about this rule or that. Sooner or later the uninitiated will begin to assert some of these techniques just for the sake of the technique.
Kerning*, for example, was highly popularized with some of the early DTP programs. Suddenly every headline and title was kerned. Although that's OK when done properly, and in good taste, kerning for the sake of kerning usually turns out to be obvious to the reader.
People read for a specific purpose.
Anything that stands in the way of the reading process is wrong. The communication process must be the sole purpose of any inventiveness. I urge you to ask four questions about any typographic project you're about to undertake:
1. How can I best expose the meaning of the text?
2. How can I make the reading seem easy?
3. How can I make understanding effortless?
4. How can I present this type so it will be perceived as "reader-friendly"?
Remember: these should be the goals of design applied to typography. All creativity and imagination should be applied strictly to the service of these goals.
Typefaces speak to your audience
You should always select a typeface that speaks to the audience in a tone that best reflects the subject matter without sacrificing readability. Your type combination will usually work when you establish and maintain a type hierarchy. Type weight is all-important in reinforcing your message levels. Headlines become heavy, subheads become bold, text is medium (perhaps even light) and italics for stress or emphasis.
Following these rules you can't go wrong.
Serif typefaces are best used for text. They are more comfortable to read, and lead to quicker understanding. I personally like text faces that have rounded or near-pointed serifs because they allow more white space in and around each character. Slab-serif style faces like Rockwell, City, and even square serif Egyptian are a little less friendly than faces like Baskerville, Bell or Garamond. Newer faces like Stone Serif and Galliard also make for fine reading.
Sans-serif type is usually ideal for display type like headlines, subheads, pull-quotes and captions because it is "type that stands apart." Sans can be used to add impact to a layout. I personally like the classic sans-serifs like Helvetica, Frutiger, and Franklin Gothic. (I really like Franklin Gothic Condensed for an excellent all-purpose, heavy sans-serif!) You may like some of the more modern sans faces like Syntax Sans, or Kabel. You'll also find sans to be the better selection in forms, and table text.
Without the serifs however, there will be less differentiation between letters, so the sans style can become a barrier to readership. Sans-serif type always needs a bit more white space around surrounding the characters and setting
Display and Decorative Fonts
Display or decorative fonts like Lithos, Droplet and others should be used with great discretion. These fonts are intended to be more ornamental than informative, so they should be reserved for headlines and display only. Script and Black fonts (Cursive, Old English, Celtic, etc,) fall into this category as well and should never be used in all-caps or in text situations.
As to helping you decide which fonts to use, I urge you to experiment. Allow yourself plenty of time and try various combinations. Remember to tack your proofed-out laser pages on the wall and stand back.
Do the faces work together?
Are there sufficient reader clues?
Does the "look" support and reinforce the intentions of the copy?
Try Helvetica Black Condensed for heads contrasted against Garamond light for text. You'll find that your subheads don't need to be much larger than the body text to grab real impact, to "lead" the reader. If you're looking for a bit more progressive look, try Antique Olive for heads and Bulmer, Palatino or Melior Light for text. (Melior's square-oval circles are the perfect pairing for Olive.)
For homogenous design, where you use the SAME FACE for all the text, look for a serif with just a little personality so your heads and display type will have a little distinction. Try Zapf Book for it's smart extravagance, or Trump Mediaeval for its classic posture. To push the envelope, try Silica.
These are merely suggestions. The final decision is up to you. If it is easy to read, and communicates the feeling of the message or audience, you'll probably come up with a hit, no matter which face you use!

Judicial Branch Announces Relaunch of Online Spanish Self-Help Center
www.sucorte.ca.gov offers Spanish-speakers ease of use and expanded information
SAN FRANCISCO—Free legal help is available online by means of an expanded self-help website for the estimated 4.3 million Californians who represent themselves in court each year. The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) today announced the relaunch of the Spanish-language self-help Center website, Centro de Ayuda de las Cortes de California, at www.sucorte.ca.gov.
The Spanish-language site and its English-language counterpart, the California Courts Online Self-Help Center, at www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp, have both been redesigned to be easier to use and feature expanded information such as:
“This updated website will make the legal process more accessible to the many Californians who go to court without an attorney because of economic reasons,” said Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye. “Even those individuals who have an attorney can get more information about the court process and work more effectively with their chosen attorney. Informed litigants ensure a more just and efficient process for both the litigants and the courts.”
About Online Self-Help Centers
The California Courts online self-help centers, both English (www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp) and Spanish (www.sucorte.ca.gov), provide self-represented litigants with quick access to comprehensive information about many basic court procedures as well as other resources, including referrals to legal service programs and lawyer referral services. These free online services provide information and education about the justice process for all Californians. | <urn:uuid:0cf22dda-e152-4d57-82a2-3e2bb5a29da1> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp/15189.htm | 2016-05-04T11:45:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860123023.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161523-00096-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.904414 | 388 |
The Western Cape farmworkers' strike has been called off, says the trade union federation's provincial secretary general Tony Ehrenreich.
"On the advice of workers, we are calling off the strike actions in all areas, so that workers can evaluate the victories that they have gained, and plan more carefully for the way forward," Ehrenreich said on Tuesday.
He said Cosatu would be co-ordinating "the mother of all strikes against bad farmers" later in the year, should no agreement be reached on a better daily wage, decent farm conditions and a comprehensive land reform plan.
Farmworkers went on strike last year, demanding that the minimum daily wage to be increased from R69 to R150. The strike was suspended in December, but resumed a few weeks ago in various towns in the province.
Cosatu suspended the strike a week ago on condition that farmers' organisation Agri SA agreed not to victimise workers and committed to "local-level" agreements.
At the time, the union federation said the strike would resume this week should these conditions not be met.
Motion of no confidence
On Tuesday, Ehrenreich said while workers wanted to continue with the strike, they had to consider the impact on children who had no food at home.
"We are also mindful of the fact that these industries belong to the people of South Africa, and while we want to ruin bad farmers, we don't want to ruin our industries."
Cosatu claimed Agri SA repeatedly rejected its offer of "peace, friendship and a new industry plan".
"It is this short-sightedness from Agri SA that has seen a motion of no confidence in the president of Agri SA being considered."
Agri SA president Johannes Möller said anyone in his organisation was more than welcome pass a motion of no confidence in him.
"I might even, at the next round of meetings we have, consider asking the council of Agri SA to consider it," he told the media.
A way forward
He said the employer body intended finding a way forward in agriculture, agreeing that R70 a day in wages was not enough.
The organisation was waiting for the pronouncement on the new minimum wage early in February, with effect from March 1.
In the meantime, it had contacted the International Labour Organisation to see if it could offer assistance through its decent work country programme.
Möller said he was cautiously optimistic at Cosatu's calling off of the strike, considering the damage to income from both sides.
"We are still getting conflicting reports on whether everybody is in agreement on whether the strike is off or not."
The Food and Allied Workers' Union announced on Tuesday that around 1 500 farmworkers were expected to start trickling back to work from Wednesday in De Doorns, the epicentre of strike action.
Asked if the food union would extend the call to other towns, general secretary Katishi Masemola said this depended on the sentiments of workers.
"The problem was that we were having mixed messages and many voices speaking. This can create confusion. We have to meet with our members in these areas first."
Public violence complaint
The Building and Allied Workers' Union of South Africa said on Tuesday morning that the strike continued in De Doorns.
General secretary Nosey Pieterse said meetings would be held in De Doorns, Worcester, or Paarl on Tuesday evening.
Civil rights group AfriForum laid a public violence complaint against Pieterse at the Lyttelton police station in Centurion, Gauteng, on Tuesday morning.
AfriForum's investigation unit head Nantes Kelder said they had found Pieterse was the central figure in the strike after visiting the affected areas at the end of last year.
"Pieterse still continues with the unprotected strike, knowing full well that it has become violent. According to AfriForum, he is therefore guilty of a criminal offence and he must take responsibility for his actions," Kelder said.
AfriForum encouraged farmers to bring claims for damages against Pieterse and Cosatu.
Pieterse was not immediately available to comment. – Sapa | <urn:uuid:2ee81f3c-08a8-40a9-a5fa-4d1a613fda6c> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://mg.co.za/article/2013-01-22-cosatu-farmworkers-strike-called-off | 2015-04-18T03:27:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246633512.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045713-00164-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969932 | 862 |
We love all dogs, but prime-time pooches are among the most amazing canines ever. They're everywhere — as cartoon characters, bit players and heroes who always save Timmy from the well in the nick of time. In honor of National Dog Day (Aug. 26), we bring you some of TV's top dogs from today and years past.
If don't see your favorite famous pup in the roundup, it's only because there's no way we can toss a bone to every great one.
Sit and stay ... and enjoy!
The shaggy collie with a hero's heart was perpetually getting her owner Timmy out of various jams, whether in short stories and novels starting in 1940, movies starting in 1943 and finally an Emmy-winning series that initially ran from 1954-57.
Leader of the Pack: Lassie had company in the pack of super-pets who transitioned from big to small screen — Rin Tin Tin and Petey from "Our Gang," for example — but it's Lassie who stays in our hearts and keeps kids out of danger.
Brian Griffin, 'Family Guy'
On the other end of the spectrum from Lassie is the upright-walking, drinking, smoking, smart-talking (yes, talking) aspiring writer known as Brian. He's a huge draw and proved so popular that he had to be brought back from the dead when "Family Guy" suddenly killed him off in 2013.
Leader of the Pack: A whole list could be made of amazing animated dogs, from "The Simpsons'" Santa's Little Helper to Scooby-Doo to "The Jetsons'" Astro. But as Russell in "Up" might have noted, "It's a talking dog!"
If you look up the definition of "loyal" in the dictionary, a yellow Labrador retriever's face should be right there. "Lost" may have been mysterious and confusing, but Vincent was a constant companion in an island of chaos for many on the show. And as the series wrapped, who else could have been with Jack to see him through the final minutes of his — and the show's — life better than Vincent?
Leader of the Pack: Yeah, Scully had Queequeg on "The X-Files", but in general, sci-fi/fantasy dramas don't include pooches who'd rather just chase a ball into a lake than figure into some major mystery. Vincent stands alone.
A Jack Russell terrier who packed as much personality as any human, Eddie became a star in his own right and even graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly in his day. Played by two dogs — a father (Moose) and son (Enzo) — over "Frasier's" 11-season run, Eddie remains one of modern TV's most memorable dogs for any number of reasons, including his uncanny ability to stare down humans.
Leader of the Pack: "Mad About You" had Murray, "Full House" had Comet and "The Brady Bunch" had "Tiger" but let's face it, those sitcom pets can't hold a candle to the only dog who could make Frasier Crane look dumb.
Anyone who grew up watching NBC sitcoms overseen by Gary David Golberg's company UBU Productions, like "Family Ties" and "Spin City," knew the show was definitely over when they saw an image of a black Labrador retriever holding a Frisbee and a voice (Goldberg's) saying, "Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog." Ubu (Goldberg's real-life dog who died in 1984) was truly the best TV dog who never had a real role on TV. | <urn:uuid:8c9b3f35-10c9-4ee6-b594-c08dc428402d> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.today.com/popculture/good-dog-5-tv-pooches-who-lead-pack-national-dog-1D80105516 | 2016-07-30T22:36:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469258943369.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723072903-00301-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976309 | 761 |

Rafael Palmeiro, 1994 Studio #126
Then there's the confounding case of Rafael Palmeiro. After scratching and clawing to stay on the ballot in each of his first three years of eligibility, the man who ranks 25th all-time in career hits and 12th in home runs received only 25 votes among the 571 ballots cast. That gave him 4.4% of the vote, dropping him below the 5% minimum required to stick around. It would have seemed inconceivable a decade ago, but Raffy is off the map. He's being swept aside with a group of one-year-and-done retirees that includes Moises Alou, Hideo Nomo, Luis Gonzalez, Eric Gagne, J. T. Snow, Armando Benitez (and woe be unto the one solitary lunatic who cast a vote for him), Jacque Jones, Kenny Rogers, Sean Casey, Ray Durham, Todd Jones, Paul LoDuca, Richie Sexson, and Mike Timlin. As the years pass and the Hall of Fame debate becomes even more of a scattershot fiasco, I tell myself in an increasingly-loud voice that the whole thing is unworthy of my annoyance and frustration. But the whole messy process is just too much to ignore for a baseball fan. May time heal all wounds...and wound all heels. | <urn:uuid:9d2fe7e5-a7d8-4d4a-99ad-3c56b0683e02> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://oriolescards.blogspot.com/2014/01/rafael-palmeiro-1994-studio-126.html | 2015-03-30T12:52:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131299339.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172139-00160-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952462 | 286 |

The concept of success is complex and can be defined in several ways. In most cases, it is associated with the financial or career success, while the philosophical basis of this phenomenon is directly related to the issue of self-identification and self-esteem of the individual. It is essential to clarify the meaning of activity and assess it from the psychological and socio-psychological (communications) standpoints to understand the nature of success.
We will write a custom Essay on Being Successful: Definition and Factors specifically for you
807 certified writers online
Success is commonly perceived as one’s achievement in the external world, regarding the material and other aspects such as high income, high career prospects, and other tangible achievements appreciated by the vast majority of people. The contemporary world is characterized by the general desire of people to obtain material values and possess various kinds of comfort (Wos 137). As a consequence, the cult of external success (the desire to have a lot of money, achieve higher job positions, obtain all sorts of pleasures) drives all aspects of people’s life.
The cult of pleasure, in turn, implies the dominance of the number of possessions over the quality of spiritual life. However, the amount of wealth in the world is limited; thus, people have become highly competitive. Subsequently, the side-effects of success have become increasingly important due to the globalization process. The globalization of market relations has affected the scale and the core intellectual substance of this notion.
Success has several external characteristics to it. Firstly, one of the leading characteristics is the financial and social well-being (possessing a lot of money, respectable job, and the position in the society), which is the generally accepted criteria of a successful person. Secondly, it has internal characteristics associated with the satisfaction from the achievements both on the emotional and spiritual levels (Cardone 27). It is crucial to note that a convergent approach to evaluating success should be applied, while it will facilitate the harmonic input-output ratio (Harford 247). The convergence in the evaluation of success leads to the idea of a balance between internal (material) and external (spiritual) human achievements.
The criteria for successful activity can be defined by several parameters, such as the achievability of the intended aim; the degree of consciousness of the individual; the psychological preparedness for obstacles, and so on. In turn, the successful activity implies the following stages: the adaptation to the circumstances, self-regulation of the person, and the purposeful balance between the outer and inner world (self-management) when achieving the aim (Keane 227). The goal-setting should be central to ensuring the success of a person regarding the adaptation to the external world, self-regulation, and the balance between the reachable and the desired outcome.
Despite the mentioned above, people tend to overestimate the meaning of economic wellbeing and the importance of social status, trying to persuade people that they are successful. Recently, the Washington Post has published an article about the habits of successful people (“9 Work Habits” 13). Despite the potential usefulness of it, it should be noted that the right habits are the result, but not the trigger of success, while it is the hard work and goal setting that drive people to success (Williams 53). Every individual, should set goals and realize his or her personal strengths and weaknesses when achieving this goal. This idea is applicable to both the spiritual and material strivings of a person.
Summing up, there is no singular path to achieving success; though, there are guidelines that a person should follow to obtain the best of outcomes. The goal setting is the primary aspect of success; it should comply with internal and external factors. The success is always individual (for some people the wealth is the true success and for some, the good health or kind family relations are the true notions of a successful life), notwithstanding nature, everyone should try to reach harmony in actions and perceptions. The person should try to balance the steps to success, depending on his or her perception of this notion, with spiritual development.

One of WorkingMouse's longest standing innovation partners is SafeWorkPro. This company aims to enable a zero-harm safety culture by utilising technology in a variety of industries. Basically they remove the need for unnecessary and annoying safety paperwork by replacing it with a quicker, safer and compliant app.
SafeWorkPro's founder Steve Cole, first noticed the problems involved with using paper safety documents while working as Director of the electrical contracting company Cole Contracting. The company started to face serious productivity issues in terms of managing risk assessment. Steve observed hours of backend management's time was spent writing, organising and filing these forms every week. These types of forms are required for compliance with Australia's workplace health and safety laws, which meant workers ended up spending more time completing paperwork than actually on the job!
SafeWorkPro was Steve's innovative software solution to the paperwork problem. Like so many other mundane human tasks these days, shouldn't the paperwork process be digitalised? Yet for some reason, Steve found no suitable technology available to Cole Contracting on the market. Research was then conducted into the idea of digitalising workplace safety and creating the SafeWorkPro app. One case study showed that a company with 12 employees could save $10k to $17k every year simply by using the app to complete their risk assessment instead.
After enlisting the help of WorkingMouse, building SafeWorkPro began to become reality. The process occurred alongside consultation with tradies and contractors. This means it's not just the WorkingMouse tech team who can understand how to use the app, it is simple enough even for your tech-illiterate grandma to pick up. Since the app was founded by industry professionals, it also understands the important aspect of legal compliance when it comes to workplace safety. All the documents are saved on the application making them easy to manage in case your business is audited.
WorkingMouse is proud to say we have now worked with SafeWorkPro to release over 20 versions of the successful app. In fact, one of the core capabilities of our Codebots Platform was built in collaboration with the needs of SafeWorkPro. Our ‘documents' capability allows for the creation of surveys, exams, questionnaires and other types of data collection on a website or application.
‘Documents' has given SafeWorkPro the opportunity to add some really cool features to their app. It allowed for the creation of an awesome dashboard that displays information like the time of day when workers are exposed to the highest risks, who is being exposed to the highest risk and more. All of this data is collected through workers filling out a form (built using the documents capability) on the app. The data from this form is then transformed into a visual representation of graphs and graphics for the dashboard.
Gathering the information you want in this way will make your application (and your life) infinitely more efficient. Usually this kind of information would be collected using shared documents or even manually, like the safety industry before SafeWorkPro. Creating a document online is therefore an important tool for improving interaction between the administrator and the users of an application.
Beyond documents and the dashboard, there are a bunch of other cool capabilities that both SafeWorkPro and WorkingMouse are really proud to have accomplished. One of these is geotagging. Geotagging is an important tool on the app because it allows for the tracking of each safety instance. Employers can then see exactly where these happen, real-time, on a map. Yet another awesome feature is the push notifications. These pop up on the screen of a device to give the employer's the opportunity to contribute to a safety outcome in real time.
With the technology behind them and combining that with their own innovation, SafeWorkPro have now grown to over 50 active users. Knowing the directions this awesome partner wants to take their business, WorkingMouse is excited to see SafeWorkPro move from strength to strength into the future. | <urn:uuid:424a4ec6-6977-4d32-8cef-a36efcd40cf5> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://workingmouse.com.au/innovation/safeworkpro-and-workingmouse-innovating-the-safety-industry | 2019-12-13T13:12:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540555616.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20191213122716-20191213150716-00094.warc.gz | en | 0.95274 | 799 |

How can you not love frittata, unless of course you are vegan but if you are vegan why are you reading a recipe for Frittata! Personally I have to have one at least once a week.
Frittata is an excellent way to use up leftovers, the combinations are endless. For this frittata I started with some extra red bell peppers from the garden and then just built the rest from there. I added spinach, fresh parsley, and feta. But you can really put anything a frittata!
To make things easier I always use a cast iron skillet. It’s non-stick and perfect for going straight from stove to oven.
When the eggs start to set on the edge I top with cheese and pop it in the oven to finish cooking.
Garden Fresh Frittata
- 6 egg
- 2 tablespoon water
- 4 ounces feta, crumbled
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup parsley, coarsely chopped (stems removed)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the water until light and fluffy.
- In a cast iron skillet, heat butter or oil.
- When oil is hot add in bell peppers, spinach, and parsley.Cook over medium-high heat until veggies are soft.
- Pour eggs over veggies and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper.
- Continue cooking and stirring gently until the eggs start to set around the edges of the pan.
- Remove the eggs from the heat and sprinkle with the feta.
- Carefully place the skillet into the oven and continue to cook at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until eggs are set.
- Remove pan from oven and let the frittata sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting into wedges. | <urn:uuid:bdebd45a-0284-498d-bd14-efdcfebb1226> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | https://healthymoderation.wordpress.com/2012/07/08/garden-fresh-frittata/ | 2017-01-24T11:04:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560284405.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095124-00040-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.900236 | 403 |

Effective September 19, 2013, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has finalized the regulations regarding the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property (commonly referred to as the repair and maintenance regulations). These final regulations apply to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. There are new provisions in the regulations that are taxpayer-friendly and affect virtually all types of businesses.
The final regulations attempt to resolve some of the discrepancies that have arisen in the past between the IRS and tax payers over how to classify costs as either an expense or capital expenditure. Within these new regulations, more guidance has been issued in order to correctly classify those costs.
The next advantage of the new regulations for the taxpayer is the partial disposition of assets election. This election allows a taxpayer to claim a loss on a disposed component of a building or any other asset (classified as a single unit of property). This election minimizes the instances where two of the same components of a building (i.e. roof) or similar assets are simultaneously depreciated. Keep in mind that there will need to be a determination of the adjusted basis of the components that are disposed, which in some cases could be difficult. The best and most accurate way to determine the adjusted basis of the disposed property is a cost segregation study. Other alternatives include original cost records and prior invoices, a detailed building appraisal, or the use of consumer prices indices.
Another advantage of the new regulations is the safe harbor election regarding the de minimis rule. Under this election, taxpayers can expense costs dependent upon the level of financial statement assurance the taxpayer produces on an annual basis. For taxpayers that produce a certified audited financial statement or financial statement that is filed with a state or local government, the dollar threshold is $5,000. For taxpayers without this type of financial statement assurance, the dollar threshold is $500. Costs are limited to the total invoice or per line item of the invoice if it is itemized. It is important to note that a written capitalization policy needs to be in place at the beginning of the year for which the election is made.
Another part of the safe harbor election is the routine maintenance safe harbor that allows taxpayers to deduct the cost of recurring maintenance on tangible personal property and buildings to keep it in efficient operating condition. To qualify, the taxpayer must reasonably expect to incur the expenditure more than once over a 10-year period for buildings or the useful life for all other assets.
Overall, the favorable changes in the new regulations are a breath of fresh air from the IRS that show willingness to work with the taxpayers.

Prose & Poetry - Ivor Novello
Ivor Novello (1893-1951) was born David Ivor Davies on 15 January 1893 in Cardiff. Novello was educated at Magdalen College School in Oxford which he attended having won a soprano scholarship; his mother was similarly a singer.
He began writing songs while still at school under the name Ivor Novello of which a number were published and received a degree of popular acclaim.
With a reputation as something of a prodigy Novello left school and moved with his parents - his father was a tax collector - to London, living in New Bond Street in the immediate pre-war years. There he persevered with singing lessons through a visiting singing coach.
In 1913 Novello moved to a new address at 11 Aldwych - directly above the Strand Theatre - where he retained as his base until his death in 1951.
Novello's career took off with the publication in 1914 of Keep The Home Fires Burning, a sentimental tune which rapidly gained popularity among British servicemen and among those they left behind while serving at the Front. On the back of the fame earned from this song Novello received the first of many commissions to write music to accompany West End plays.
In 1916 - the same year he enlisted to serve with the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) as a pilot - Novello met the actor Bobby Andrews while in New York and developed an intimate relationship with him which spanned 35 years until Novello's death; they were also to feature together in Novello's plays.
Three years later Novello starred in his first major motion picture, The Call of the Blood (1919), a silent film. He went on to star in many subsequent film productions in non-singing roles and was regarded as something of a popular heart-throb.
1924 saw the debut of Novello's first play in which he himself starred alongside co-author Constance Collier, The Rat. This was followed by two sequels, The Triumph of the Rat (1926) and The Return of the Rat (1928).
In 1926 collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock in producing the movie The Lodger; they also worked together on Downhill the following year.
Other notable plays - he chiefly wrote melodramatic romantic musicals - included Symphony in Two Flats (1930), The Truth Game (1934), Proscenieum (1934), Glamorous Nights (1935), Careless Rapture (1936), Full House (1936), Comedienne (1938), The Dancing Years (1939), Perchance to Dream (1945), We Proudly Present (1947) and King's Rhapsody (1949).
Over the years Novello developed close friendships with many of Britain's leading theatrical and literary figures, including Sir Lawrence Olivier, Noel Coward and Siegfried Sassoon.
Novello's glittering career was interrupted during the Second World War when he was jailed in 1944 for illegal use of petrol coupons for his Rolls Royce car: he served half of an eight week sentence in Wormwood Scrubs.
During the 1939-45 war itself Novello continued to write and perform, offering what he regarded as a valuable morale booster to servicemen on active duty. To this end he travelled to perform in Belgium and France. We'll Gather Lilacs in particular was a popular wartime theme.
After the war Novello spent periods in Jamaica where he shared holidays with Bobby Andrews. Having composed over 250 songs on 6 March 1951 Novello collapsed and died at home of a coronary thrombosis just four hours after performing in King's Rhapsody; Andrews was at his side when he died. Novello's funeral at Golders Green Crematorium was broadcast live and attracted thousands of bystanders.
A "conchie" was slang used to refer to a conscientious objector.

For the set up, that was probably about $200, min. As far as monthly, probably nothing really. Except for electricity. Yearly? Food, water conditioner, possibly medications, I wouldn't expect to spend more than $50. But that is with a really nice set up. And then I do keep adding things that are for me more than the fish... Like more plants, different lights. But once you have the basics, depending on what you choose, they are pretty cheap.
Once you get into breeding or having more than just a couple (in divided tanks), the cost goes way up!
But for one fish, if you were to spend about $100 on a set up (cheaper if you get the tank/lights second hand), food, w/c, filter, heater, you would be super set for a really long time.
Not too much monthly...startup can be quite expensive though...and redecorating..but other than that a 10 dollar bottle of Prime and plant ferts. every couple of months and aquarium salt is all i need...unless a filter or heater breaks...or i see some nice plants i want...or a new fish...or decor..haha...
Mine costs $10 for rocks and $20 for silk plants. Then $20 for water conditioner per year, $10 on salts, $10 on pellets, $25 on frozen foods, and we'll say $30 on other meds. So that's... $130ish on my 5 boys. Plus $45 for each tank/filter/heater. | <urn:uuid:0769a676-7f38-4f45-800c-33c132e4c488> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.bettafish.com/showthread.php?t=81433&page=0 | 2014-08-30T16:50:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500835505.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021355-00328-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962647 | 326 |
An island vacation in upstate New York? Not only is it possible, but it is inspiring. I bring you The Sagamore. This Victorian-era resort is set on an island, surrounded by the clear water of Lake George. The resort provides you with all the excuses you need to stay on property the whole time. Numerous activities, great restaurant options and a peaceful Adirondack atmosphere to decompress.
There’s a ton of options at the Sagamore, but if you want the most central location (close to the pool and restaurants), I recommend staying at the historic hotel. I like this option because it feels really grand, and something unique. You can book a traditional room or upgrade to a lake view room. For me, I’m a big fan of water views (I live in Ohio…) so this would probably be my option. If you need more room, the historic hotel offers 54 different suite options. Whether you choose the traditional suite, the lake view suite, Governor’s suite or my favorite, the Premier suite with balcony, you and your family will be able to spread out for the trip.
Another room option would be to stay in a lodge room or lodge suite. There are 7 lodge buildings around the island that are within walking distance (shuttle service for some) from the historic hotel. You’ll be able to enjoy the rustic charm of the Adirondacks with this option. There’s 2 levels to each lodge, so you can book the walk-in option (top floor) or the lower level. The suites have modern kitchens, which makes it easy to cook breakfast in the morning, and some have views of the water.
The Hermitage building is another great option for families. The building has eleven 1 bedroom bi-level suites and one 2 bedroom bi-level suite, and all have kitchens. The loft bedroom, the exposed beams and cozy furnishings make the hermitage rooms a memorable experience.
For a more spacious place to call home for the trip, try a condo. The 2 bedroom condos have everything you need, from a kitchen to a washer/dryer. Each condo has 2 terraces, 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs, that provide views of the lake or the hotel.
For a large family, why not stay in a castle? The Wapanak Castle is located right next to the historic hotel, so it’s centrally located next to all the amenities. The castle is a 6 bedroom, 2,000 sq ft house that provides enough room for up to 12 guests. It has high end appliances, dining room, formal living room and a lower deck. I always like to point this out (because I love the idea of this) but what a great option as a grandparents suite if you’re getting married at the Sagamore.
There's so many different dining options at the Sagamore, you really don’t need to leave. The one that I find to be the most impressive is the Pavilion. This restaurant is along the waterfront and provides for a special outdoor/indoor dining experience. The Pavilion focuses on serving amazing seafood, including a raw bar and seafood rice bowls, but you can also order from different pasta and meat options.
If you want to enjoy an Italian experience while admiring amazing panoramic views, you should reserve a table at La Bella Vita.
The Club Grill Steakhouse overlooks the golf course and has a very upscale-rustic feel. I love the look of the exposed beams and large chandeliers. The menu has all the favorites (NY strip, filet mignon, ribeye) from a local sustainable farm. The menu is rounded out with well composed chicken, seafood and pasta dishes.
Mr. Brown’s Pub is an excellent choice for any and all, especially kids. The menu features classic pub foods such as burgers, fish and chips, ribs, and chicken fingers.
As far as activities go, there's a ton to do at the Sagamore. I’ll start with the resort’s beautiful golf course. You'll enjoy winding through the tall pines of this Donald Ross course, where you can take in amazing views of the lake. Golf Digest and Golfweek both list this course as one of the best public courses you can play. For me, I love how secluded it is, which is why I love golfing, just to be out with nature.
For those who want to go for a swim, the hotel does have both an indoor and outdoor pool. The pools are large and provide stunning views of the area. If you want to go to the beachfront and take a dip in the Lake, you can! I can’t stress what a perk this is. There are other areas on Lake George to swim, like the Million Dollar beach, but they are normally very crowded. You can also go fishing at the waterfront or sign up for a waterski lesson.
At the center of the resort is The Rec, a 10,000 sq. ft. indoor activity center for all ages. Within the facility, they have: mini golf, wiffle ball, basketball, a rock climbing wall and table games (such as billiards and ping pong). For outdoor games, the Sagamore has an outdoor half-court basketball area, 4 tennis courts (2 Har-Tru surface courts and 2 hard courts), a playground and a sand volley ball court. This place has it all and it reminds me of my youth. Growing up, I loved my family vacations to Canada, and I will always remember playing at the resorts rec hall. My brother and I would shoot pool after dinner. He always won, (I still say the table was rigged... somehow), but just playing and taking part in other activities (like the beach camp fires) really brought us together. That's why little things like having a rec center, and offering a Kids Club, really matter to me.
Other Activities include taking a ride on the Morgan. This is a replica 19th century vessel that will provide a peaceful 1.5 hour ride around the lake. The tour, which is free for resort guests will provide some of the best views.
You can pair something very physically demanding, like a game of basketball, with a trip to the spa at the resort. The spa offers a variety of services including a Adirondack Stone Massage, which helps to help encourage muscle relaxation.
If you’re staying for the winter season, take advantage of the nearby slopes and enjoy skiing (and night skiing) as well as tubing.
Outside the Sagamore:
You can head to downtown Lake George, which is an interesting place. There’s a lot of arcades, mini golf, ice cream parlors and souvenir shops, but I think my favorite part was the small outdoor theater in Sheppard Park. When we were there, a magician was performing for the crowd, which was a wonderful after dinner treat. They have live entertainment there, and it is a great place to watch the fireworks.
The ropes course near Sagamore kicked my butt! I loved it, but it kicked my butt. After completing all five courses (which took 4 hours), I wanted to pass out. You’ll climb obstacles and coast above the forest floor on a zip line. The further you go on the course the more physically demanding, and higher you get. It’s a great activity to do for a little adventure.
If you want to wonder and shop, I highly recommend nearby Saratoga Springs. This area is beautiful! They have a wide variety of restaurants along the main road as well as cool shops to explore. The kids loved it because of the carousel near the main street that was connected to a beautiful park. It is a really laid-back, pretty town.
I hope you enjoyed this hotel highlight! If you do end up going, please let them know that I sent you, and don't forget to subscribe!

Sen. Joe Negron today outlined for fellow senators his plan to reform the state's Medicaid program. The state will need a waiver to accomplish many of its goals, including moving Medicaid patients into HMOs. And Negron said if Florida doesn't get the waiver, the state may have to handle Medicaid on its own, without federal financial help.
"If the federal government elects not to allow us to manage the program in a way we believe is in Florida's best interset, then we'll operate our Medicaid program with our resources," Negron said, noting that he doubted it would come to that. "We're going to give the federal government 100 good reasons to give us this waiver."
Medicaid costs Florida about $22 billion a year, with a little more than half of that provided by the federal government.
Lawmakers have long been seeking ways to cut Medicaid costs. Highlights of Negron's proposal include moving most Medicaid patients into HMOs, nearly doubling payments to Medicaid providers, requiring that 90 percent of Medicaid money go to health care, giving Medicaid providers more protection from lawsuits, and cutting services so Medicaid plans will be more in line with what's available in the private sector.
"Medicaid is a very generous program, especially on paper. What it purports to provide to you is much greater than anything provided in the private sector," Negron said.
Negron also said his bill will not include putting persons with disabilities into Medicaid HMOs, a measure that has concerned advocates for the disabled.
Negron predicted his plan will save Florida more than $1 billion in the first year, and more than $4 billion over three years.
After the presentation, Karen Woodall who lobbies on behalf of Medicaid patients, said she liked some of the ideas Negron highlighted, such as increasing Medicaid provider payments, and the requirement that payments go almost exclusively to patient care. She also appauded Negron for pulling people with disabilities out of the HMO concept.
But she questioned why it would be necessary to give Medicaid doctors increased protection against lawsuits, saying it's low reimbursement rates that keep doctors from participating in the program, not concern about lawsuits.
She also expressed concern about rolling back benefits. Some benefits provided by Medicaid -- such as eyeglasses, dentures and hearing aids -- are necessary because Medicaid patients are so poor that they don't have extra money to pay for those items. Negron won't release details until later this week, but Woodall wondered how far the service cuts would go to meet the stated goal of coming in line with private plans.
"They're not going to be able to have savings unless they're whacking the heck out of benefits," Woodall said. As to the comparison to private plans, Woodall said this: "The reality is a lot of private health care is inadaequate. That's the reason we have the (federal) Affordable Care Act, which this state is suing to not participate in." | <urn:uuid:d36ff008-57d4-4d00-a24e-5750b68e170e> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2011/02/negron-outlines-plans-for-medicaid-reform.html | 2017-08-19T11:17:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886105341.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170819105009-20170819125009-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.96924 | 610 |

Deputy Health Minister praises Salvation Army’s Bridge Programme
published on 9 Jun 2015
The Deputy Health Minister for Wales has praised The Salvation Army for helping transform the lives of people experiencing homelessness and alcohol and drug addiction.
Vaughan Gething AM attended a special event in Cardiff today (Tuesday June 9) to mark the 10th anniversary of the church and charity’s Bridge Programme.
Based at The Salvation Army’s Ty Gobaith Lifehouse in Cardiff (a centre for people experiencing homelessness), which was recently awarded Midlands Centre of the Year at the Learndirect Inspirations Awards, the Bridge Programme is a joint working initiative between The Salvation Army and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board’s Community Addictions Unit (NHS Wales). It was set up in 2005 to address the complex needs of people experiencing homeless and substance misuse issues. Each service user has a say in how their treatment is delivered, with the ultimate aim of the programme being to resettle people in stable accommodation.
Speaking at the event in the Norwegian Church Arts Centre on Cardiff Bay, Mr Gething said: “The person-centred approach of the Bridge Programme has proven very successful because people experiencing homelessness and substance misuse problems have a range of different needs. These can include support with daily living, access to mental health services and help to manage their substance misuse.
“The £50 million I announced at the start of April will further strengthen programmes like this that tackle drug and alcohol abuse – and demonstrates our clear commitment to reducing the harm caused by substance misuse across all walks of life.”
Laura Carey, manager of the Bridge Programme, said: “Through specialised input from staff and partner agencies, the programme has been empowering people to make positive changes that will transform their day-to-day lives.
“This anniversary celebration is a fitting testimony to everyone who has been involved in the programme over the years.”
Stuart is a service user at Ty Gobaith Lifehouse, who had been living in Caerphilly but moved to Cardiff after losing his job through substance misuse.
He said: “Things started going pear-shaped at home when I lost my job. That was the end of living with my mum so I made my way to Cardiff as this is where I knew I could get help.
“Around five years ago I started to access the purple bus (The Salvation Army’s Bus Project for rough sleepers in Cardiff city centre) and the support workers managed to get me floor space at a church during the winter months. I stayed there for eight weeks and then began staying in various accommodations in the city.
“I bumped into an old friend and she allowed me to sofa surf at her place, but I still was not in control of my life and I thought it was time to seek help and turn my life around.
“I contacted EDAS (Entry into Drug and Alcohol Services) which recommended the Bridge Programme. I kept to all of my appointments and became abstinent from all drug use. The day I moved onto the Bridge Programme was the day I stopped taking drugs. The support workers at Ty Gobaith had faith in me.
“When I first started on the Bridge I expected to fall back to drugs within three months. But with the help and the support I’ve managed to remain clean – and in the next fortnight I’ll be off my methadone script completely. The truth is, though, there’s no way I could have achieved this without the support of The Salvation Army.
“To keep myself occupied I got in touch with the Big Issue and started selling the magazine, for which I’ve won vender of the year twice. I’ve even gone on to work in festivals and have won numerous awards with the Big Issue. People look up to me now, which is a nice thing.
“I admitted to my ex-wife that my alcohol and drug taking had got out of control, which I feared would mean losing contact with my family. But since I’ve accepted the specialised help I needed, my ex-wife has been my rock and my children constantly tell me how proud they are of me. Now they can rely on me as their father and I’m always there for them.
“I didn’t have a future when my life was out of control but now I’m off everything I can see the positive things in life. One of my big ambitions is do some aid work. I see a future now rather than the next 10 minutes.”
Nicholas Redmore, The Salvation Army’s regional homelessness services manager, said: “The Bridge Programme is an innovative example of partnership working that meets the needs of residents in an environment conducive to change.”
Major David Emery, Chaplain to Ty Gobaith, said: “The Bridge Programme is a place of healing, where battles are fought against homelessness, addiction, and despair. It is a place where people can discover and begin moving towards what they were designed to be. It’s a place where people, ordinary people, accomplish heroic things every day.”
Yvonne Connolly, manager of Ty Gobaith Lifehouse, said: “The Bridge Programme strives to achieve these qualities because they believe that they have been commissioned to reach out and help people whose lives are battered and broken. To become well, whole and healed so they can discover their purpose.
“The programme offers a therapeutic and safe environment where people experiencing homelessness can tackle their dependency issues. Service users remain central to the shaping and direction of the programme and its strength and impact can be seen by the year-on-year increases in successful detoxes and planned discharges.
“As the manager of the Lifehouse it’s a privilege to work with such a dedicated team and humbling to see service users change their lives for the better.”
This year The Salvation Army is celebrating 150 years of Christian service and is still at the heart of community today, supporting those in need and transforming lives. | <urn:uuid:74b1527b-fad1-4f85-af54-cf11f45c30af> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/news/deputy-health-minister-praises-salvation-armys-bridge-programme | 2021-12-02T07:08:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964361169.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202054457-20211202084457-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.971107 | 1,262 |

Binance prohibited Visa and Mastercard cards issued in Russia, causing cryptocurrency trade volumes to plummet. While Russian citizens still have access to cryptocurrency exchanges, sanctions on traditional payment channels appear to be limiting their capacity to trade.
While most crypto exchanges oppose blanket bans on Russian consumers, many have ceased taking payments from sanctioned banks and businesses, limiting Russians’ access to cryptocurrency. People are also afraid about putting their wealth in bitcoin for fear of losing access.
According to data from digital asset analytics source Kaiko, ruble-denominated Bitcoin and Tether trade volumes have slowly decreased since Binance’s decision last week, and are now at levels observed prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
A discrepancy between ruble and hyrvnia-denominated crypto trading was also highlighted by Kaiko. Following the invasion, BTC-UAH buying soared, showing that traders in Ukraine were flocking to cryptocurrency in the face of financial turmoil.
Trading volumes in Ukraine have remained high, with Tether in particular showing strong demand. As the hyrvnia plummeted, citizens were spotted paying up to a 20% premium for the stablecoin.
However, it was only after the application of sanctions, notably the exclusion of Russian institutions from the SWIFT network, that BTC-RUB volumes began to rise. Sanctions imposed by the West on Moscow are the toughest they’ve ever been, virtually cutting Russia off from major global financial markets.
The United States recently imposed a ban on Russian oil imports, and Europe is considering doing the same. This would further upset the Russian economy, given that oil is its major export.
The Russian ruble has recovered from record lows against Bitcoin thanks to lower BTC-RUB trading activity. One Bitcoin is now worth roughly 4.6 million rubles, down somewhat from last week’s peg of over 5 million rubles.
In currency markets, the ruble is still under a lot of pressure. It is now trading at near-record lows against the dollar and the euro.

NIHL is a tough nut to crack. Unless there is
some type of acoustic trauma, e.g., firecracker, gunshot, it can
takes years for the effect of noise to show up in a typical
audiogram. Thus, testing teens exposed to iPods, music
bands, etc. can be very misleading unless there is audiometric data
that was taken prior to the noise exposure, during the noise
exposure and for years after. Both temporary and permanent
threshold shifts must be monitored. Losses from noise will fluctuate
over time as the temporarily damaged cells recover. However,
eventually, the repeated exposure will eventually break the cells
and there will be permanent loss. A year is just not enough to
determine if an NIHL exists or not. |
From my professional view, it is much more important to determine not so much if these teens are suffering the loss NOW, but whether they are more susceptible LATER and will incur an NIHL at an earlier age due to their teenaged exposures.

In the link, it says "10 percent of the 14.9 percent figure"; admittedly, that can be interpreted in two ways. I still tend to favor mine; but even 4.9 percent would be worrying. Anecdotally, one of my grandsons did damage his outer hair cells by a loud noise, namely by that of a fire cracker. Loud music is dangerous too, I think.

To find out how childhood is changing, Panorama travelled to the West Midlands to spend a month in the life of three very different tweens and their families.
Hello, my name's Adele and I'm nine years old. My hobbies are singing and dancing and drama.
When I grow up I want to be a pop-star like J Lo or Britney because I like the kind of fashions that they wear.
Brands are very important to Adele, and at the age of nine she is already clued up on what is hot and what is not.
Her favourite labels include Diesel, DKNY and Ted Baker - all labels that many fashion conscious adults aspire to.
And she is well aware of the importance of the right clothes - referring to people who don't wear brands as "nickynonames".
She says designer clothes make her feel alive, with her favourite clothes making her feel "expensive because they're very expensive clothes."
But wearing designer labels does also have a more protective purpose - being part of a group can be important for children, especially when it comes to bullying.
Adele knows this well, and when asked if she be friends with a "nickynoname" she said: "I'd still be their friend, but I wouldn't hang around with them as much because you're just going to get bullied with them.
"You will get picked on for hanging out with a "nickynoname" person, so really you've got to be careful of what's your fashion and what's not."
Hi my names Izaak and I'm 12 years old and a skater.
I don't know if that means anything to you but it basically means we like skating and have a very individual fashion sense.
I'm into food, sleeping and music and when I grow up I want to be a rock star.
Izaak has a more individual idea of fashion and says he doesn't want to follow the trendy set.
But he still knows what he likes - and what he likes are skater labels like Billabong.
"I buy skate gear that I think looks good," he told the programme, "I don't go out and buy the latest trend because if I did that then I'd end up being the same as all of the other people wouldn't I.
"Trends are things for sheep," he added.
Izaak's parents Phil and Kate remember needing to be in a social group from their childhood, and feel it is why they indulge Izaak.
Kate said: "I can remember that pressure to belong so acutely, that was the most important thing. I think he probably feels that and I think a lot of children feel that."
His dad Phil added: "There's enough hassle out there, if they're getting hassle for something that can be solved easily by buying the right pair of trainers, then buy the right pair of trainers."
Hi my name's Imogen and I'm 12 years old. I like reading and creative writing. I want to be an author or a graphic designer when I'm older.
I've got loads of friends and we're always out and about doing stuff.
Imogen's parents have brought her up to be shielded from the pressures of modern advertising.
She has been educated at home, and as a result has also been raised away from peer pressure in school.
She does like to look good, but it isn't the most important thing on her list, and she gets her clothes from what many people her age would see as an unconventional source.
"Mostly I get my clothes from charity shops or car boot sales or something," she said.
Because of her upbringing Imogen - who loves playing computer games such as The Sims - also has strong views on advertising and branding.
She said: "I don't think you are what you wear or you are what you buy, as if how much money you have defines what kind of person you are?
"The original word brand came from the long iron pole with the logo on the end that was burned into a cow's side, and that showed the farmer owned them.
"So its as if having the company's name across your top shows that they own you." | <urn:uuid:c660b9ac-f087-4f04-b2d0-422668efc68f> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/panorama/4011997.stm | 2017-10-20T05:09:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823731.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020044747-20171020064747-00618.warc.gz | en | 0.987503 | 878 |
Disability: recommendations for eye programmes
In 2012, CBM’s Medical Eye Care Advisory Working Group met in Hyderabad, India to discuss the inclusion of people with disabilities in eye care.
As a result of these discussions, the following recommendations were made:
- Involve local disabled people’s organisations (DPOs) in planning (page 12).
- Appoint a member of staff as the coordinator for disability inclusion in all eye units (this may be a part time role).
- Identify barriers to access, both internal and external, noting which are easy and which are difficult to fix. Put in place an action plan to address these.
- Consider any additonal needs based on gender and age.
- Ensure that eye care services are comprehensive and include health promotion, disease prevention, curative medical and surgical services, and rehabilitation services.
- Ensure counselling, links and referrals to rehabilitation and education services are available to people who cannot be helped clinically. Ensure these services also refer patients to eye units.
- Staff with the heaviest loads – such as ophthalmologists – need to know that they can (in a caring manner) refer patients to other skilled staff in the unit.
- Employ people with disabilities to work in eye clinics.
- Ensure physical accessibility as well as large, colour-contrasting signage.
- Specifically plan for the provision of services for hearing impaired people.
- Include disability-inclusive practices in training curricula.
- Provide disability-inclusive training for eye unit staff and raise awareness with other stakeholders. For example, simply training staff to say: ‘I can refer you to XYZ, because there isn’t anything more I can do for you’ versus saying: ‘Nothing can be done for you’, can make an enormous difference to ‘quality of life’ or ‘whole of life’ outcomes and the mental health of patients with long-term visual impairment.
Colin Cook, Babar Qureshi, Harpreet Kapoor, Dominic Misquith, and David Lewis
Improving access for women and girls with disabilities
Nearly all eye health programmes strive to reach the most marginalised people. They also seek to be gender sensitive, ensuring equal access for all people. Women and girls with disabilities (including those with impaired vision) are some of the most marginalised people, as they face the triple discrimination of being female, having an impairment, and being among the poorest.
It is important that eye health programmes consider how they can support women with a disability. Here are some practical tips:
- Consult with women with disabilitito identify what is blocking their access to eye care, and to talk about how best to overcome these barriers
- Raise awareness among staff and collaborators about the impact of disability on women and girls and work together to address barriers
- Appoint a coordinator for disability inclusion, who understands gender sensitive practice (part-time or full-time)
- Collect and analyse data by gender, age, and disability, for example by using the Washington Group self-reporting questions.
- Employ women with a disability in your programme.
- Develop networks and two-way referral between your programme and primary health care, rehabilitation, education, and DPOs.
- Ensure that women and girls with disabilities who cannot be assisted through medical intervention are referred to other services, such as education, rehabilitation, livelihood, social inclusion and health services.

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – A provincial board member who had a running feud with slain Mayor Ernesto Balolong Jr. even before the 2013 election has clarified he and his family have nothing to do with the cold-blooded slaying that happened in broad daylight on June 7.
|Board Member Raul Sison|
Interviewed by newsmen at his office before the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) started its regular session Monday, a teary-eyed Second District Board Member Raul Sison said even if his son Raul Martin Sison is the vice mayor of Urbiztondo and will succeed as mayor by operation of law, he can swear that the Sison family had nothing to do with the slaying.
Sison said he was attending a cockfighting at Araneta Coliseum on the day Balolong was assassinated while supervising work on a construction site owned by his family at the back of CSI Supermarket in Poblacion, Urbiztondo.
He said he is willing to cooperate with investigators and to give his statement if it is needed by them.
“If they (investigators) need my statement, I will do it if only to help expedite the solution of the case, he said in Filipino.
In the interview with newsmen, Sison said he knows that the suspicion will be heaped on them (Sisons) because it is his son Raul Martin who will benefit from the incident and become the town mayor.
That is why, he said, he advised his son not to assume yet the position of the mayor till Mayor Balolong is brought to his final resting place.
The elder Sison used to be councilor of Urbiztondo during the first term of office of Mayor Balolong, a position that qualified him to be elected as president of the Philippine Councilors League (PCL).
Now, he is on his first term as regularly elected board member of Pangasinan representing the second congressional district.
They used to be both councilors of the municipal council and when Sison ran for mayor, Balolong was his vice mayor. Balolong was elected but Sison failed in his mayoralty bid.
Sison acknowledged that he and Balolong parted ways when he was asking his help on the administrative case filed against him by Loida Cancino, the municipal treasurer of Urbiztondo before the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
He said he was not able to help him because at that time, majority of members of the legislative body believed Balolong committed lapses in connection with the withdrawal of loan of the municipality from the Philippine National Bank (PNB) sans duly approved resolution from the Sangguniang Bayan.
Balolong, a member of the Liberal Party, appealed his preventive suspension from the Office of the President which decided in his favor.
Both Balolong and Sison further strained their relationship when the wife of Sison ran for mayor in the last election with their son Raul Martin as her vice mayor. Balolong won a second term of office.
In the barangay election, Sison’s wife again ran for barangay captain of Poblacion, Urbiztondo but lost to Myrna Balolong, wife of the mayor.

To: OAPSE Members
From: Executive Director Joe Rugola
Re: Recognizes Administrative Professionals; Fighting for Strong Pensions, Fair School Funding
Date: April 21, 2021
National Administrative Professional’s Day
April 21 is the day we recognize the contributions of the OAPSE members who serve as administrative professionals! Take a look at the video below for more about the importance of the work they and all OAPSE members do to provide critical services to our schools, boards of developmental disabilities, community colleges, Head Start agencies and libraries.
State Budget: HB 110
Thanks to our work with AFSCME International on passage of the CARES Act and American Rescue Plan packages, the state budget has the resources to keep our economy and state moving forward and avoid drastic cuts to the services our members provide.
For years, OAPSE has championed the importance of fair funding for school districts and supported court battles, some of which went all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court, to try and get poor urban and rural districts the funding they deserve – just like wealthy school districts get.
OAPSE has worked closely with OEA, OFT and the education management groups like the school boards and treasurers on HB 1, the Fair School Funding Plan. That led to us being able to get the new fair funding formula in new state budget bill, HB 110.
The Fair School Funding Plan is a fair and equitable school funding system that reflects what it actually costs to provide a good education, and how much a community can actually afford to pay. This plan will finally address the root problem of Ohio’s school funding system, the reason why it has been ruled unconstitutional four times in the last 24 years. The current funding system provides unfair advantages to wealthy districts at the expense of the poorer rural and urban districts.
The Fair School Funding Plan will fully and fairly fund Ohio’s schools. The plan also funds community schools and vouchers with direct state payments instead of sending the money with the student when they go to a charter school or use a voucher. This will help the public know the true and accurate funding levels of charter schools. And it means public schools will not be financially penalized when a student leaves for a charter school or receives a voucher.
Also in HB 110, the Ohio House has added a bus purchase allowance of $45,000,000 for each fiscal year of the state budget.
The state share of the base transportation formula for school districts is increased from 25% to 29% in this first year and to 33% in the second year of the budget. It continues to increase back up to its original level of 50% at the end of the six-year phase in of The School Funding Plan.
HB 110 also has moratorium language for academic distress districts (ADC) for both fiscal years of the state budget (FY22 and FY23). That means the state cannot classify school districts as being in academic distress and having the state takeover the district.
The budget for developmental disabilities programs has a $70 million dollar increase in the county board waiver match in the first year and a $62 million increase in the second year of the state budget.
The local government fund has a slight increase of $3 million in the first year and an increase of $15 million in the second year of the budget. This will help maintain the current funding level for our community libraries.
HB 1 and HB 110 will continue to be considered by members of the Ohio House of Representatives before they vote and send the bills over to the Ohio Senate. We will keep you updated.
OAPSE continues to fight for strong pension benefits for retired members. We have been keeping a close watch on changes discussed by the staff and the Board at the School Employees Retirement System (SERS), which could devastate OAPSE members when they retire.
The union worked with OAPSE active and retired members on the SERS board (Vice Chair Barbra Phillips, Jim Haller, Cathie Moss and Frank Weglarz), and all members of the SERS Board decided not to change the final average salary calculation or what constitutes a full year of service credit. Those discussed changes could have cut benefits to future retirees by as much as 10 percent.
With the goal of keeping the pension fund as strong as possible for as long as possible, OAPSE continues to discuss with SERS board members and staff the sustainability of the fund and to look at potential changes and how they would affect retirees.
OAPSE will continue to work with SERS Board members to make sure OAPSE retirees are not subjected to unnecessary cuts. And we will to continue to oppose cuts and freezes to COLAs, including those implemented four years ago.
Social Security Update
The national union continues to push for total repeal of the Social Security GPO & WEP issues in Congress. Thanks to their work and OAPSE’s efforts and petitions highlighting the injustice of the GPO & WEP, several bills have been introduced in Congress calling for the total repeal.
Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL) has sponsored H.R. 82 with 129 bipartisan cosponsors and Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is ready to introduce a companion bill in the U.S. Senate. We will continue to work with our National Union to keep these issues a priority and an integral part of any Social Security reform package discussions in Washington.

Guess we spoke too soon when we said that the singer was having a rough day yesterday, huh?
The pic in question of a guy's naked lower torso and peen popped up on Twitter earlier today, which was claimed to be of the Believe crooner himself!
While JB’s team hasn’t commented yet, his Beliebers were quick to jump to his defense, exclaiming, "that's not JERRY!"
Devoted Beliebers — who probably know more about Justin than he knows about himself — took note of how Bieber’s nipples and bellybutton weren’t identical to the pic and cited Photoshop for the similar Bieby bird tattoo on the guy’s lower hip!
DAYUM! Who knew Beliebers were detectives on the side, too? Ha!

As an employee of Dana Farber Cancer Institute, I am participating in the 2023 Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk and plan to complete the half-marathon course with my lab.
I lost my dad, Jim Pitton, to a thirteen year battle with sarcoma in March 2023. While he had excellent care through Fred Hutch and UW Medicine in Seattle, most patients don't have access to the same opportunities. Dana Farber serves cancer patients across the country and especially from the Northeast, providing high quality care and experimental treatments that are only available at a few hospitals in the country.
In the Tothova lab, we research acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its precursor disease, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). AML is the most common adult acute leukemia, but still has limited treatment options. Through our work in the lab and on our clinical trial, we hope to provide new treatments and improve our patients' prognoses and qualities of life.
When you make a gift to my Walk, you’re directly supporting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s unique 50-50 balance between cutting-edge research and compassionate patient care. Your support allows Dana-Farber leaders to enhance programs and initiatives that serve pediatric and adult patients and their families.
Thank you for supporting my Jimmy Fund Walk fundraising efforts.

Last month I shared with you an update on my daughter’s juvenile arthritis. Her ninja-like immune system is back at it and we’ve started a new medication. So far so good!
One of the reasons I write about my daughter’s illness is awareness. People tend to know very little about this disease that affects over 300,000 children in the US alone. And because of my posts on juvenile arthritis, I have gotten many emails from parents with a child who has just been diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. I am able to help those parents by providing them with resources and support to help ease them into their new normal.
One thing that was a bit lacking when my daughter was diagnosed was resources. Obviously I googled the crap out of “juvenile arthritis” but I got a lot of the same stuff. When you have a child who is struggling with something, you typically want to basically read and learn every possible thing you can about it and you want to talk to parents of children dealing with the same thing.
You want information. You want support. You want hope.
My friend Kim also noticed this lack of information out there for the parents of children with juvenile arthritis. She is the parent of not one but two children with juvenile arthritis. Both her handsome boys struggle with different types of this disease and she was frustrated with the lack of information out there. So she did what any reasonable person would do.
She wrote a book!
In fact, she wrote a great book.
(Disclosure: I received this book at no cost in exchange for my review. All opinions are mine. There are affiliate links to Amazon for your connivence)
Finally, a Book on Juvenile Arthritis!
Living with Juvenile Arthritis: A Parent’s Guide by Kimberly Poston Miller is a fantastic book aimed at parents of children with JA. Kim weaves her own experiences of dealing with her sons’ illnesses with stories from other parents from all over the world, providing the reader with a plethora of insight into the world of parenting a child with juvenile arthritis. From managing flares and pain, doctors visits, and hospital stays to managing home life, school life and finding a “new normal,” Kim covers the topics that every parent with JA needs to know in a well organized and easy read format.
Though the information in this book is wonderful, insightful, and much needed, what I really loved about this book was how Kim presented the information. You see, Kim’s husband was an NFL player. Their family lived and breathed football for many years, and Kim used this part of her life as a framework for this book. Comparing life with chronic illness to the game of football was not only witty but kinda brilliant.
At the Juvenile Arthritis conference this year, the parents were separated into moms and dads groups at the beginning and end of the conference. At the end, my friend Katy who was running the mother’s group asked us to share what we learned and what we found the most valuable during the 4 days.
Woman after woman stood up and expressed how happy they were that their husbands were “getting it” and finally talking about it.
“It” being juvenile arthritis. “It” being that their child had a chronic illness.
Men tend to deal with things a bit differently than women. They tend to not talk about things as much and seem to rely a lot on their wives to do the research. They don’t often read the research, the books, and from what I’ve heard, rarely go to doctors appointments (my husband is an exception…he has been to all but maybe three of my daughter’s rheumatology appointments the last three years. Those three appointments he missed only because we now have a clinic close to our home rather than close to his work.) This means the mothers can feel alone and overwhelmed. At the conference however, the dad’s were learning more about JA and meeting families that could relate and the experience really helped bring these families together.
I think that Kim’s book could do something similar for families living with JA. Kim has written a book that is perfect for men. I mean….A book that compares living with JA to football?
Touchdown! A book both men and women can relate to!
It’s not Just for Parents
This book isn’t just for parents. As I read through this book, I thought every pediatrician, family physician, and orthopedist needs to read this book. Why? because these are the three types of doctors who most often come in contact with children with JA. Not only will this book give them an idea of what life is like for these families, but reading this book should also force them to keep JA in the back of their minds when kids come to them with JA-like symptoms. JA unfortunately can take a long time to get diagnosed due to doctors being poorly educated about this disease.
In addition, I think it is very important for physical therapists and occupational therapists to read this book as most kids with JA undergo one if not both of these therapies at some point during their lives (E went through physical and occupational therapies in 2011). Understanding what these kids and families go through will only make you that much better a therapist!
I loved this book, and let me summarize why:
- It was well written and easy to read.
- The personal stories: These are honestly the best. Reading about how other families are affected by a scary disease your child has gives you a kind of peace and reminds you that you are not alone.
- The information was relevant, helpful and useful. Kim provides lots of simple tips about handling this disease that you may not ever have thought of. One tip is keeping a notebook to keep notes in at all the doctors appts…simple yet brilliant tip to keep things all together!
- Resources: Kim provides a TON of resources in this book to help educate and connect families dealing with juvenile arthritis.
- There is something for everyone. Whether you have been dealing with JA for years or arebrand new to this game, you will walk away with something helpful.
- Great for pediatric rheumatologists, pediatricians, family physicians and orthopedists (PTs and OTs too!) as it gives a good overview of what families dealing with juvenile arthritis go through.
Where Can You get a Copy? How Can You Learn More?
You can pick up a copy of Living with Juvenile Arthritis: A Parent’s Guide at Amazon! Looking to learn more? Check out Kim’s great blog: Living with Juvenile Arthritis: Learning to Thrive not just Survive with JA. She has a lot of practical information for families of children living with chronic illness. Make sure to like her Facebook Page too to keep up to date!

Now You Tell Me….
Do YOU have a child with juvenile arthritis? If so, tell me one piece of advice YOU would give to families just being diagnosed.
If you do NOT have a child with JA…tell me, did you know about JA before reading my blog? I’d love to hear about YOUR experiences with JA or lack there of. | <urn:uuid:507f144f-c653-4d59-83e1-6a286251ac00> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.playingwithwords365.com/2013/10/living-with-juvenile-arthritis-a-parents-guide-a-review-and-chances-to-win-a-copy/ | 2016-10-21T12:58:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718278.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00036-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974926 | 1,610 |

For the money, this isn't a bad place to start. It's a fairly inclusive package, with the guitar, strap, tuner, picks, gig bag, etc. Personally, I'd step up to the Breedlove Discovery series, which, for another $100, comes only with a bag, but that bag has a much nicer guitar in it!

Jose Mourinho will have to adapt to Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer plans in the summer, according to Alasdair Gold via football.london.
The football correspondent shed light on how he thinks the Portuguese will have to work his way around Daniel Levy’s transfer policy before the start of next season.
As a consequence of the ongoing pandemic, football clubs across the planet are facing real economic uncertainty, and many are accepting the fact that the upcoming transfer window won’t be one for colossal signings.
It is fair to say that Mourinho has enjoyed splashing the cash over the years. Indeed, the former Manchester United boss broke a club record to bring Paul Pogba back to Old Trafford for a staggering fee worth £94.5m via Transfermarkt.
However, due to financial pressure, he will have to rein in his heavy spending, and “add to his squad by identifying areas that can be cheaply fixed” (football.london).
Understandably, many Spurs fans discussed Gold’s thoughts on social media, with one supporter begging Mourinho to “go manage somewhere else.”

Ha could go manage somewhere else in the prem…he’d really reap the benefits of our transfer spending then!

While funds will be tight , if we are creative we can still do swap deals + invest little bits of cash into cheaper players , there’s no excuses not to get the players in the right positions to come in and we can certainly get quality if we target smartly.

Community Embraces La Brioche Bakery in Norfolk's NEON District
Courtesy of Downtown Norfolk Council
“People here are really kind,” says Parisian-born Jacqueline Devulder of La Brioche, her accent as buttery rich as her husband Yvan’s croissants. “They’re very supportive with small businesses.” Proof abounds. Soon after the bakery’s March opening, a regular strode in and hung a photo he’d taken of the Champs-Élysées on the wall by the meringues and palmiers. Another gifted them with a vintage “We Bake Our Own Bread” neon sign.
Apropos, as Yvan produces baguettes and brioche in Norfolk’s NEON District so evocative that customers can’t help reminisce about their European travels while picking up pastries in the morning and sandwiches at lunch, grabbing quiche for dinner or heading upstairs to savor a luscious éclair with coffee and a book. “We are a real French artisan bakery. We don’t do doughnuts, and if something is gluten-free, it’s only because that’s the way it’s always been made,” she states warmly. “We use butter, we use sugar. Everything that makes people happy.”
La Brioche is located at 765 Granby St., Norfolk. 757-226-9745 | <urn:uuid:241ded00-b93f-4622-8335-f6fa2347836e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.coastalvirginiamag.com/October-2019/Community-Embraces-La-Brioche-Bakery-in-Norfolks-NEON-District/ | 2020-07-13T18:24:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657146247.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713162746-20200713192746-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.930163 | 315 |

Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume IV/Origen/Origen Against Celsus/Book VI/Chapter XXII
After this, Celsus, desiring to exhibit his learning in his treatise against us, quotes also certain Persian mysteries, where he says: “These things are obscurely hinted at in the accounts of the Persians, and especially in the mysteries of Mithras, which are celebrated amongst them. For in the latter there is a representation of the two heavenly revolutions,—of the movement, viz., of the fixed stars, and of that which take place among the planets, and of the passage of the soul through these. The representation is of the following nature: There is a ladder with lofty gates, and on the top of it an eighth gate. The first gate consists of lead, the second of tin, the third of copper, the fourth of iron, the fifth of a mixture of metals, the sixth of silver, and the seventh of gold. The first gate they assign to Saturn, indicating by the ‘lead’ the slowness of this star; the second to Venus, comparing her to the splendour and softness of tin; the third to Jupiter, being firm and solid; the fourth to Mercury, for both Mercury and iron are fit to endure all things, and are money-making and laborious; the fifth to Mars, because, being composed of a mixture of metals, it is varied and unequal; the sixth, of silver, to the Moon; the seventh, of gold, to the Sun,—thus imitating the different colours of the two latter.” He next proceeds to examine the reason of the stars being arranged in this order, which is symbolized by the names of the rest of matter. Musical reasons, moreover, are added or quoted by the Persian theology; and to these, again, he strives to add a second explanation, connected also with musical considerations. But it seems to me, that to quote the language of Celsus upon these matters would be absurd, and similar to what he himself has done, when, in his accusations against Christians and Jews, he quoted, most inappropriately, not only the words of Plato; but, dissatisfied even with these, he adduced in addition the mysteries of the Persian Mithras, and the explanation of them. Now, whatever be the case with regard to these,—whether the Persians and those who conduct the mysteries of Mithras give false or true accounts regarding them,—why did he select these for quotation, rather than some of the other mysteries, with the explanation of them? For the mysteries of Mithras do not appear to be more famous among the Greeks than those of Eleusis, or than those in Ægina, where individuals are initiated in the rites of Hecate. But if he must introduce barbarian mysteries with their explanation, why not rather those of the Egyptians, which are highly regarded by many, or those of the Cappadocians regarding the Comanian Diana, or those of the Thracians, or even those of the Romans themselves, who initiate the noblest members of their senate? But if he deemed it inappropriate to institute a comparison with any of these, because they furnished no aid in the way of accusing Jews or Christians, why did it not also appear to him inappropriate to adduce the instance of the mysteries of Mithras?

My husband and I were recently blessed with a much needed night out and were in Schererville from Milwaukee. We had many choices of restaurants near our hotel but decided to try Giuseppe's based on the reviews here on Trip Advisor. Giuseppe's is kind of off of the beaten path and is in a quieter area of Schererville in a newer strip mall. The restaurant is kind of small but cozy. We each ordered a side salad and a thin crust pizza to share. The salad was one of the best I've ever eaten and the pizza was even better! Our whole bill was under $25 which is hard to do these days. I would definitely come back here to eat in the future! The only negative about the place was the lack of smiles! The servers/cooks were very good, but no one was smiling! Sounds silly but it really makes a difference in the atmosphere. I did appreciate the hostess opening the door for us though--she had a smile on her face! Eat here, you won't be disappointed.

The PIP recently released the results of a rather uninteresting study that was reported almost everywhere for some reason.
They asked \"How concenered are you about the following types of internet crime\", and \"Which one of these types of Internet crimes converns you the MOST\".
From those 2 questions they draw this conclusion:
\"... and 50% of Americans cite child porn as the single most heinous crime that takes place online\"
Did I miss something there?
The #1 answer in to both questions was Child Pornography, but how did they arrive at that conclusion?
SiliconValley.com put it best when they said, \"People least worried about big Internet risk\".
eMarketer.com has a the Report broken down with lots of nifty charts and grafts.
So what have we learned here?
People worry about child pornogrphy [Which is horrible, awful and should be illegal, but doesn\'t come after you and steal your stuff], meanwhile they\'re being DOS\'d, or a Cracker [Note: not Hacker] just grabbed their credit card numbers.

I have used grade 8.8 bolts, and still had the breakage problem! The most important thing is mount angles!
I will NOT mount a engine with the stock OEM studs. I also use red locktite and either double nut or use nylon locking nuts. 5 builds nar a problem with the mounting. Like I said before PROPER mount alignment IS A MUST.

Pre install HT tips
A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Of course, that means whatever fabrication is necessary to make the front mount fit properly and even the back one if absolutely necessary.
I've personally never had a problem with stripped threads or broken studs anywhere on my engine. (I don't use a torque wrench either and never have except on car engine head studs.)
In fact, it's never missed a beat, except for a stuck slide.

Im not sure but ive seen alot of bikes sold with a rear tube of 1.250 thousand and then it spreads the studs and cracks the case too.. On brand new bikes never really rode? Im working on a good machined fix for this, just might cost me $750 for a nice milling machine, My bike has 1.125 tube so no problem for me, I hope...
They have a new mount system out now. I think I thought of it first, just never built one. Needed this type of system when I built a Micargi D.I.Y. kit. The M-50 frame was/is NOT made for these china made engines. I had to do a lot of mods to make it work. Then it was stole in Utah It's in the "stole bikes" forum. I have had another one stole 3 weeks ago here in LA CA. I'm tiered of building great bikes for thieves!!!

Session One8:45 am - 9:15 am
The Changing Landscape of DDoS Attacks – Advanced DDoS Is Here – Are You Ready?
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have entered a new era! Historically DDoS attackers have used a “brute force” approach to making an online services unavailable by overwhelming your company’s internet connection. DDoS targets wide variety of important resources, from consumer-facing financial and news websites, to internally-oriented employee intranet links, and presents a major challenge in today’s cloud-based world to making sure people can access important information and mission-critical applications. Brute force attacks have morphed into more sophisticated, multi-vector attacks. Your adversaries are patient, launching targeted attacks using deception & “smokescreen” tactics to take down your network. The frequency of DDoS attacked has risen dramatically as well. The emergence of IOT devices has led to larger, more destructive attacks from Lizard Stressor, to Mirai & now Memcache. 2018 has seen the first DDoS exceeding I tbps! (1.3 tbps & 1.7 tbps attacks)
Arbor will discuss the misconceptions & facts about modern day DDoS attacks and best practices to protect your company against DDoS attacks while providing maximum network availability. “Bandwidth saturation” will impact your business – an attack that exceeds your internet pipe is all it takes. In this new world, “peace time” no longer exists so having a DDoS protection strategy is critical! With 30+% of DDOS attacks causing havoc at the Application Layer with potential data exfiltration, the stakes could not be higher.

Session Three10:15 am - 11:00 am
A new approach to email security for Office 365
For hackers, Office 365 is the new black!
Because a simple set of Office 365 credentials can give you access to sensitive documents, applications and confidential business information, Office 365 is now the go-to place for cybercriminals looking to make a fast and high profit.
Each day these hackers implement new and always more creative phishing and spear-phishing attacks, that easily bypass the traditional email security solutions.
Discover what their techniques are, and learn what you can do to prevent cybercriminals from breaking into your organization with just a single email.
Session Four11:00 am - 11:30 am
A Practical (low cost) Approach to Securing East-West Traffic & Critical Data
Despite best efforts organizations continue to struggle detecting and stopping attacks that lead to costly exposures of critical data.
Why is this? One reason is that organizations typically do not have a simple means to provide visibility to threat as they move East-West across their network. Leaving them blind to up to 80% of their threat surface.
Come learn how to leverage simple techniques to make your existing threat detection and investigation processes much more effective.
Learn also how to add layers of defense to protect your most critical assets.

Session Five12:00 pm - 12:30 pm
How They Bypass Office 365 Security
The move to SaaS has changed the phishing landscape: your Office 365 inbox is the #1 threat vector and your Office 365 credentials are their #1 target. In this talk, we will demonstrate the techniques attackers use to bypass Microsoft’s defenses. Learn how they use Microsoft’s own services to fool filters and utilize built-in tools to launch them internally–bypassing your email security gateway.
During this session, we’ll demonstrate how to protect Office 365 from:
- Email-based phishing, spoofing, and malware
- Account takeover, insider threats, compromised Microsoft credentials
- Loss of sensitive data from OneDrive, SharePoint and Office 365

Session Six12:45 pm - 1:15 pm
Protecting Your Data: What You Need to Know about Cloud Security and the Dark Web
Effectively leveraging the cloud is not just about migrating data and applications. Security must travel into the cloud as well. When organizations fail to understand that security in the cloud is a shared responsibility, the consequences can be disastrous (and profitable for threat actors!). In this session, Armor will demonstrate the vulnerability of your unprotected data in the cloud via a real-world experiment using “honeypots” disguised as a healthcare web portal.
You will learn:
- The most likely attacks your organization will face
- How active and dynamic security controls can mitigate risk
- Simple steps you can take to prevent a breach
- Why your data is so valuable on the Dark Web (findings from Armor’s Black Market Report)

Do you have time for security?
Today, the focus on security tends to emphasize technology and expertise. Does an enterprise have the technology in place to stop threats? Do they have people with the expertise to response to threats? Often overlooked is the question “does the organization have enough time to adequately manage their security needs?” During Nuspire’s presentation, Maria Graham will delve into different elements required to maintain a secure network, how much time and effort each of these elements take, and what technology and expertise is needed for a credible security posture. She will discuss different approaches and strategies to deal with time constraints to security management, and how companies of different maturity levels can respond to their unique needs.
Maria has been with Nuspire for nearly six years where she held a number of roles throughout the company, including the Senior Channel Executive, Channel Sales Team Lead and Franchise Program Sales Manager to her current role as Director of Business Development.
