Clark Outsorucing Intl Announces New Subsidiary OutsourcedMedical.com
Clark Freeport Zone, Philippines (Clark Outsourcing) April 16,2018
Clark Outsourcing, an American owned BPO company in the Philippines, recently announced the launch of a new subsidiary website OutsourcedMedical.com. The new subsidiary will provide a wide range of outsourcing services to healthcare providers in the United States as they try to keep up with the fast growing healthcare needs of the Baby Boomer Generation.
Mr. Zack Williamson, CEO and Founder of Clark Outsourcing explains his decision to enter into the healthcare industry. “Healthcare is the fastest growing sector in America due to the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. With $2 trillion in revenue in 2017 and the fact that 44 healthcare companies made it into the Fortune 500, it seemed like a no-brainer!”
The healthcare field has been changing a lot over the last few years and it makes hard for medical practices to keep up with the new industry standards. All of the recent developments in healthcare technology has resulted in more and more back office tasks that need to be completed.
“Medical technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past decade and we expect to see even more groundbreaking advancements in the coming years that will revolutionize the way healthcare providers engage with their patients. Things like Electronic Medical Records software, cloud computing and virtual reality are transforming the industry and we aim to keep our clients ahead of that curve by providing the back office services and support to implement these new technologies.” Said Zack Williamson.
In addition to back office support services OutsourcedMedical also employs registered nurses and medical transcriptionists to handle services that require in-depth knowledge of the medical field and its terminology.
What exactly does OutsourcedMedical do for healthcare providers? “Good question. Helping to record and manage their medical records more efficiently, medical billing, medical transcription and my favorite service, acting as a liaison between the insurance company and the pharmacy really saves a lot of time and money for our clients. Our goal is to help our customers grow their practice by taking some of the workload off of the doctors and nurses so they can see more patients.” Mr. Williamson explained.
The demands for outsourcing services in the healthcare industry are projected to increase significantly over the next decade due to a growing shortage of physicians in the U.S. | <urn:uuid:e341a871-3b92-4acf-bacd-9b802210765d> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://clarkoutsourcing.com/press-release/clark-outsorucing-intl-announces-new-subsidiary-outsourcedmedical-com/ | 2018-10-17T16:43:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583511203.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20181017153433-20181017174933-00490.warc.gz | en | 0.959757 | 484 |

Transcript of Frida Kahlo!
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter using the style of Realism, Symbolism and Surrealism. Realism is an art which looks exactly like the object being drawn, Symbolism expresses something by using symbols, e.g. like the peace sign is a symbol which represents peace. Surrealism art represents things which are not real like dreams and fantasy. Frida Kahlo never went to an art school, she was self-taught.
This is Frida Kahlo.
About Frida Kahlo
Born: July 6, 1907
Died: July 13, 1954
The accident that changed her whole life:
Frida Kahlo actually wanted to become a doctor but at the age of 18 she had a horrible bus accident. The bus crashed into a building wall and a pole went through her whole body. She was brought to the hospital as quick as possible and she was lucky to survive but she was never really healthy again and could not go to medical school.
The most important stages in Frida Kahlo´s life...
On the 21 August 1929, Frida Kahlo married the 20 years older famous painter Diego Rivera. In 1930 Diego and Frida moved to New York, USA . In 1932, Frida Kahlo visited her sick mother in Mexico - her mother died not much later. In 1933, Frida Kahlo and Diego moved back to Mexico because Frida was homesick.
New York Gallery
In 1939 some of Frida Kahlo´s paintings got displayed in a gallery in New York.
Frida Kahlo was born:
Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo
was born in Mexico in 1907. With her parents and sisters she lived in the blue house (Casa Azul)in Mexico City.
Frida Kahlo´s Childhood:
As a child Frida Kahlo had Poliomyelitis.
Poliomylitis is a disease you can get if you are not
vaccinated against Poliomyelitis. From Poliomyelitis you get palsies and sometimes you do not grow properly. Frida had one leg that remained shorter than the other because of the disease. She could never walk very well again.
In the hospital:
After the accident Frida Kahlo had to spend a lot of time in the hospital (Henry Ford Hospital). She hated it to lie in bed all day. She could not do the exams to get the stipendium for university because she had to stay in the hospital. Because it was boring lying in bed the whole day, her dad built a stand over her bed - so that she could
draw while lying in bed. This is how Frida Kahlo became a painter!
Frida and Diego
Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera divorced in 1939.
In December 1940 Frida and Diego married
the second time.
Guillermo Kahlo, Frida Kahlo´s dad died in 1941.
1943 Frida Kahlo became an art teacher at an
art academy named ´La Esmeralda´. Later the academy named itself after Frida 'Los Fridos'.
In 1944, Frida Kahlo began to write a diary -
she also drew a lot into her diary.
During her whole life Frida Kahlo had to go back into the hospital often and had a lot of operations.
She was sad most of the time so her paintings
were sad too.
"The mask is crying. Or are it Frida Kahlo´s tears
that are sliding through the holes of the eyes"
In the Galeria de Arte Contemporaneo
in Mexico she had an exhibition where only
her work got displayed. The doctor did not allow Frida to attend the opening ceremony - she had to stay in her bed, he said.
So she convinced her sister to find people to carry her to the ceremony lying in her bed.
In 1946, Frida Kahlo got a National Mexican Prize. In 1950, Frida Kahlo got operated 7 times at
her spine. She also got a disease on her feet and had to stay in a wheel chair the whole time now.
Viva la Vida
Frida Kahlo drew her last picture ´Viva La Vida`
on the 13 of July. At the age of 47 Frida kahlo died
inside the blue house.
Frida Kahlo drew a lot
about her life and her feelings,
her pictures tell stories about
her and her life time. Frida Kahlo uses loads of
different types of colours
in her paintings.
Frida Kahlo always had to
wear a corset to keep her back
straight. On this picture she drew a pillar to represent her spine which was broken.
This is a picture that Diego Rivera drew. I chose it because I like how the colours are organized and I think it looks really realistic. It is called The Threshing Floor.

This is Frida
thinking about Diego.
This is a portrait Frida
Kahlo drew of her dad, he was a
photographer. She often drew
portraits of people.
A presentation by: Lucia Carai 6c
Here Frida drew her
self twice, once sad
and angry and once happy
I imagined I would have
to lie in the hospital for loads of
months and years.
"Don´t bury me I have been in that
position for to long, burn me"
Frida Kahlo said. So she got burned.
An her ashes got blown away.
So she got blown away...
"There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst."she said after they devorced.
"Feet, what do I need you for
when I have wings to fly?"
I think her paintings are really
percise they look really real.
Sometimes she scares me with her paintings, because she was so sad some of her paintings were sad and scary. | <urn:uuid:cc7660ef-ce91-461b-8120-78317a5422d1> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | https://prezi.com/ojdkmhzfcuhd/frida-kahlo/ | 2017-08-18T20:46:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886105108.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20170818194744-20170818214744-00491.warc.gz | en | 0.961955 | 1,502 |

Advantages and Disadvantages of Jet Engines
- Gas turbine engines have a great power-to-weight ratio compared to reciprocating engines. That is, the amount of power you get out of the engine compared to the weight of the engine itself is very good.
- Gas turbine engines are smaller than their reciprocating counterparts of the same power.
The main disadvantage of gas turbines is that, compared to a reciprocating engine of the same size, they are expensive. Because they spin at such high speeds and because of the high operating temperatures, designing and manufacturing gas turbines is a tough problem from both the engineering and materials standpoint. Gas turbines also tend to use more fuel when they are idling, and they prefer a constant rather than a fluctuating load. That makes gas turbines great for things like transcontinental jet aircraft and power plants, but explains why you don't have one under the hood of your car. | <urn:uuid:32be0b02-aaa7-4556-bfdc-5129a63517c1> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/modern/turbine2.htm | 2016-02-13T08:53:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701166261.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193926-00071-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95591 | 187 |

Dear Princess Celestia,
This year we learned first-hoof about the true Magic of Friendship and the power of community. Hundreds of ponies are coming to Seaddle from all over the world and we've gotten so much help from so many of them that we never would have been able to do this without them. We also learned about the importance of believing in yourself and never giving up, no matter how difficult things may seem sometimes. When we first planned this event, we never expected so many ponies to come to our party! We are so excited that you've decided to join us at Everfree Northwest, and we are sure that everypony is looking forward to sharing with you what they've learned about Friendship.
Your faithful students,

For centuries, people all over the world have been bathing in order to stay clean, but early bathtubs were quite different than modern ones. Today, we have some of the most advanced and efficient bathtubs and showers that can make bathing more than just a necessity. Here, our bath experts share the history of baths and bathing:
The B.C. Years
Before bathtubs and showers were created, civilians turned to nature in order to bathe; free-flowing rivers served as baths and waterfalls served as showers. After awhile, early civilizations created wash basins and small tubs for personal use and soon after, the idea of public baths emerged as civilians began to come together to form communities.
The oldest civilization (the Indus Valley Civilization) was the first to utilize public baths followed by the Greeks and Egyptians. Bathhouses became the most popular way to bathe and civilizations even developed basic soaps and cleansing sands to aid in the bathing process; it was believed that cleanliness was associated with power and spirituality.
The Roman Era
Perhaps one of the most popular examples of public bathing was during Roman times. Roman bathhouses became elaborate structures that could hold hundreds or thousands of people at a time. In fact, the city of Bath was dedicated to bathing and featured an array of public baths with intricate water systems, swimming pools, hydrothermal springs, and more. These baths became the center of the town and drew in people to exercise, socialize, and relax.
The 16th Century
Beginning in the 16th century, public bathing became less and less popular as people began to realize that the spread of many plagues, epidemics, and diseases was due to sharing water. In addition, churches started speaking out about their dislike of bathhouses and believed the act was too sensual. Instead, being “dirty” was the commonality and bathing moved to a more individual practice.
The 19th Century
By the mid-19th century, middle class homes started being built with their own bathrooms and people turned to wooden bathtubs for bathing. It was also at this time that soap-making became a massively popular industry and a variety of soap scents and materials were introduced.
By the end of the century, the first bathtub design that used porcelain and cast iron was created by the Alexander Manufacturing Company and became the sought-after bathtub design. As you probably guessed, they featured the classic “clawfoot” design and were popular in the U.S. As the years continued, the clawfoot style faded and a more flush-bottomed bathtub was introduced. These are among the most popular bathtubs we use today. | <urn:uuid:ecaaa1c0-f743-44fa-835b-5a709e46d7c1> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.pjfitz.com/blog/bath/home-improvement-history-lessons-baths/ | 2018-09-23T22:52:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267159820.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180923212605-20180923233005-00350.warc.gz | en | 0.988891 | 551 |

I can tell now the difference between true hunger and emotional hunger. It's taken me a lot of failed attempts at this to be able to truly understand the difference between the two.
Before I eat, I do a kind of check in with my body and mind. It seems to work pretty well. It kinda goes like this.
When was the last time I ate? How much did I eat how long ago?
Have I expended enough physical/mental energy since the last time I ate to be truly hungry?
Does my stomach feel full?
When was the last time I drank water...might this be thirst?
EMOTIONAL CHECK IN:
What thoughts are going on in my head right now?
Am I craving a SPECIFIC food, particularly a 'comfort' food i've historically overate to overcome negative feelings or make good ones better?
Take a few deep breaths and clear your mind. Relax. After this is done, has your "hunger" level changed up or down? Same?
Since I have a history of abusing alcohol and cigarettes in order to elicit certain FEELINGS or lack of them, it is no wonder I have managed to apply the same principle to the misuse of food.
I want to keep doing these 'check ins' especially in times of quote-unquote "weaknesses" around food. This is only one peice of the puzzle to put together to successfully make my relationship with food a healthy one. But it's one heck of a great start. It beats the hell out of throwing my hands up as some kind of failure.
I HAVE THE POWER OF CHOICE here. So I choose to be mindful, and before overeating today, do this fact finding and emotional check in first, to separate my true hunger from my emotional hunger. | <urn:uuid:3f7cb738-61c2-452b-9c22-678a755fb356> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=5415952 | 2015-01-30T06:40:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115856087.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161056-00089-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95666 | 377 |
The Attic Chest was a literary circle hosted by William Porden and his daughter Eleanor Anne at their home in Berners Street, London. From 1808 to 1818 the circle met twice monthly during the winter season.
Anonymous contributions were stored in the Grecian cedarwood chest that gave the circle its name. The Pordens selected those to be read at each meeting and wrote editorial comments. Eleanor Anne chaired the meetings and read the contributions. At the end of each season contributors were invited to acknowledge their works.
Most of the Attic Chest contributions have been preserved and are currently held by the Derbyshire Record Office (DRO) in Matlock, UK, where they form part of the Gell Collection.
Anna Jane Vardill was a close friend of Eleanor Anne Porden and an enthusiastic contributor to the Attic Chest. With the cooperation of the DRO the Vardill Society has undertaken the task of transcribing the Attic Chest collection and making it available in digital form. | <urn:uuid:80cfb538-6c3e-4547-8752-cc82d0367114> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | http://attic.vardill.org/ | 2021-04-17T16:43:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038461619.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20210417162353-20210417192353-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.965884 | 207 |

Chelsea transfer news: Blues made ‘very strong push’ to sign Juventus defender Daniele Rugani in the summer, reveals agent
The Premier League giants were keen on bringing Daniele Rugani to Stamford Bridge, but the 24-year-old rejected the move
Chelsea made a serious charge to sign Juventus defender Daniele Rugani in the summer transfer window, but the player rejected the move.
That is according to the player’s agent, Davide Torchia, who has been lifting the lid on the 24-year-old’s transfer saga.
Rugani was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea during the summer, but the Blues could not agree a fee for him.
It was claimed at the time that the Italian centre-back wanted the deal to go through and had provisionally agreed personal terms.
However Rugani’s agent has dismissed those claims and said his client never asked to go.
“Chelsea made a very strong push to negotiate,” Davide Torchia told RMC Sport.
“Juve evaluated it, but the player never asked to leave.

LinkedIn is one of the great professional social media platforms that can be utilized for corporate and individual branding and marketing. When correctly utilized, LinkedIn can help a business to create the right networks with potential clients, other businesses, and employees. The bulk of the work, when it comes to marketing your company on LinkedIn, lies with using the right approach. Here’s an overview of key tips to get you started.
Creating a company page
The first thing to do is to create a comprehensive LinkedIn company profile page that details every aspect of the company. Attention to detail should be put on particular areas, such as writing the company’s summary or the ‘About Us’ section. Products and services that the company deals with should also be included in the form of descriptions and images.
Depending on the objective targeted, the company should invest in LinkedIn page optimization, both within LinkedIn and on other sites. Page optimization implies that web users using LinkedIn or other search engines to search for particular content, products, or services will be directed to the company’s page. Implementing search engine optimization on the company’s page involves inserting keywords and phrases that potential customers may use when searching the internet. It also involves cross-linking the company’s page on content published elsewhere to help boost its ranking in search results. Sharing the page’s content on multiple platforms, such as blogs and other social media platforms, can also achieve similar results.
Adding/seeking for followers
The more the amount of the company’s LinkedIn page followers, the higher the prospects of the page achieving its purpose of marketing and branding. When adding followers, it is important to start with the company’s management and employees as they act as the biggest advocates or brand ambassadors for the company. The followers who are internal to the company should promote the company’s page by sharing its content and profile in other social media networks to attract more viewership and followership.
Investing in page engagement
To remain relevant and achieve its objective, the page should be put to good use as far as public and followers’ engagement is concerned. This involves creating high-quality search engine optimized content that is enriched with media, such as videos and images. To extend the page’s reach within the web, the best content should be sponsored within LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter for extensive viewership. | <urn:uuid:da7f2f27-bd52-4457-8659-621e51e1a43f> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://lisalaporte.org/how-to-market-your-company-on-linkedin/ | 2022-10-02T02:40:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337244.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002021540-20221002051540-00619.warc.gz | en | 0.927941 | 488 |

Ares Rights, Notorious DMCA Abusers For The Ecuadorian Gov't, Now Sending DMCA Notices On Stories About Ares Rights
from the copyright-as-censorship dept
Last week, Adam Steinbaugh had a good blog post detailing how Ares Rights had issued some bogus DMCA notices over some news coverage in Ecuador... of Ares Rights itself. In May, PlanV had written about Ares Rights and its abuse of US copyright law to try to censor stuff on behalf of the Ecuadorian government. It's a good detailed breakdown of how Ares Rights abuses copyright law. However Ares Rights sent a takedown, claiming trademark infringement in the article, because (you guessed it) the article mentions "Ares Rights." Except that's not how the DMCA or trademark law works. At all.
Of course, rather than having the criticism of Ares Rights disappear, it just resulted in a lot more coverage of the situation (and, of course, the original article stayed up). It got American press coverage as well as Ecuadorian coverage from multiple sources.
Rather than learn the lesson that issuing bogus takedowns is a bad idea that not only doesn't work, but will likely backfire spectacularly, Ares Rights doubled down... and sent a new DMCA takedown to try to take down Adam Steinbaugh's post. In this case, Ares Rights is claiming the following:
b) Copyrighted work or other intellectual property that we are claiming to be infringed:Of course, most of that has nothing to do with copyright, and thus a DMCA notice is improper. Second, all of it is pure bullshit.Your customer shows private and not public data.c) A description of where the infringing material is located on your Site:
Your customer displays a document with copyright.
Note strictly private use with contact address, email and telephone. This data is private and not public use only.
Your customer violates privacy laws Spain and CEE.
Please, delete this url.http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2014/08/29/ares-rights-wants-ecuador-journalists-to-stop-talking-about-ares-rights-censorious-abuse-of-copyright/
Steinbaugh filed a "counter notice" which is well worth reading:
Dear Mr. Martínez:As per usual, Ken Popehat White does the best job summing this up.
I am writing in response to your censorious DMCA takedown notice of today’s date, which demands that I remove the entirety of my post about your firm’s censorious abuse of DMCA notices to intimidate or censor your critics and political dissidents, which is located here: http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2014/08/29/ares-rights-wants-ecuador-journalists-to-stop-talking-about-ares-rights-censorious-abuse-of-copyright/
This communication to you is a DMCA counter notification letter as defined in 17 USC § 512(g)(3).
My response is this: fuck off.
In more delicate terms:
First, your notice is defective in that it fails to identify the specific work claimed to be infringed, as required by 17 USC § 512(c)(3)(A)(i).
Second, the material at issue is not protected by copyright, and in the unlikely event that it’s protected at the barest margins of copyright law, my use of the material — which is still unidentified — is a fair use under 17 USC § 107.
I declare, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the complaint of copyright violation is based on mistaken information, misidentification of the material in question, or deliberate misreading of the law. And, to be sure, your reading of the law to demand removal of your abuse of the DMCA is unmistakably deliberate. To encourage the re-calibration of your interpretation of copyright law, please refer to 17 USC § 512(f), which provides for attorneys fees should a content provider be hoodwinked into temporarily disabling access to material on the basis of your fraudulent DMCA takedown notices.
My name, address, and telephone number are as follows:
I hereby consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which I reside, which is the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, conveniently located six blocks away from the foregoing address.
I agree to accept service of process from the complainant.
My actual or electronic signature follows:
XOXO, Adam Steinbaugh
It's not clear what Ares Rights hopes to accomplish. Their DMCAs will fail. This won't slow coverage. Trying to brush off the EFF or Steinbaugh with a DMCA notice is like trying to get a dog to stop humping your leg by petting it and feeding it bacon. Maybe they bill by the hour, even for patently ridiculous tasks? Maybe they are trying to convince their Ecuadorian masters that they are doing something, anything? Maybe they are just really very bad at their jobs?

It’s no big secret that a few (Ok, four out of six) of my main characters are based on actual historical figures. I went overboard with my protagonist, and based him on not one, but two real people, both of them coincidentally named Frederick.
I started by basing Kendryk Bernotas, Prince of Terragand on Frederick V, Elector Palatine. Kendryk is pretty much exactly like him, but better. And cuter. However, Kendryk is not a Mary Sue, I swear! He starts out pretty perfect, but he’s not. Very.
As my plotting progressed, I found myself drawing more and more on the life and actions of the other Frederick, the Wise, Elector of Saxony. This guy died nearly a hundred years before the beginning of the Thirty Years War, but was instrumental in helping Martin Luther survive and flourish. Since I decided to compress those hundred years, it all worked out.
It turns out that Kendryk is quite a bit cuter than this Frederick also- okay, he’s a LOT cuter- Oh, let’s face it, Kendryk is just flat-out cuter than just about everyone. He is however, not quite as wise as that long-dead Frederick. And frankly, just not wise enough to pull this whole thing off, although I have my doubts if anyone could be. It’s quite a mess I have created here.
When my story begins, Kendryk is only twenty-one, but he’s had a pretty interesting life so far. As the second son of the Prince of Terragand, he didn’t expect to become a ruler himself. At an early age, he expresses interest in religion, and is sent to another king’s court to study with a noted theologian.
Intelligent and contemplative, he shows a real aptitude for life in the clergy. Unfortunately, his older brother dies when Kendryk is just eleven, and he has to return home to take his place as heir.
His father, who’d never really recovers from his older brother’s death, dies about a year later, leaving Kendryk in the care of three regents. Each regent sees this as an opportunity for his or her own advancement, so they squabble amongst themselves and ignore Kendryk, who has no time for such stupidity.
At sixteen, Kendryk is able to establish his own power base, and fires his regents. It won’t be the last time his baby face and mild manner lead others to underestimate him. He assembles his own team of advisers and proceeds to rule Terragand in a fairly enlightened fashion.
His next move is to get married, in hopes of ensuring the line of succession- a few unsavory former regents still have some hopes in that direction. He hears that the daughter of King Andres Roussay of Norovaea is available and being courted by a number of royal suitors, so decides to throw his plumed hat in the ring.
Since Gwynneth Roussay is such a catch- she’s just like Kendryk, but super-sparkly- everyone expects that she’ll end up marrying a king. She’s just about decided to when Kendryk appears, and since naturally, he’s cuter and better than all the others, she is quickly convinced that he’s the one for her.
Her parents are not in favor of the match, but like many parents of teenage girls who are used to getting their way, they quickly cave in exchange for their sanity.
Kendryk and Gwynneth waste no time getting married, and return to Terragand, where Kendryk concentrates on being wise and just and Gwynneth has babies. By the time our story begins, they are still blissfully happy and everything is going smoothly. So naturally, it won’t last!by | <urn:uuid:50d5cc8d-bf1c-4705-87ce-998b97d6a3e7> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://christinaochs.com/2014/07/19/character-profile-kendryk/ | 2017-05-01T04:08:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917127681.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031207-00371-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9727 | 845 |

Compost Garden Now to Get Ready for Spring
The recent chill serves as a reminder that winter will eventually show up. I have taken this cue to heart and spent a bit more time than usual outside checking out public trails and parks.
However, I should spend a bit more time working on my yard and garden where tomatoes have gotten a bit out of hand and weeds are thriving where they shouldn't.
Linn County Extension Master Gardener Becki Lynch has some tips on how to best use the extra growth and leaves so abundant now to create an abundant garden next season.
Q :As we head into winter, is there an easy way to prepare a new bed for planting next spring?
A : Lasagna gardening is a no-dig, no-till organic gardening method that results in rich, fluffy soil with little work from the gardener. Lasagna gardening refers to the method of building the garden, which is adding layers of organic materials that will 'cook down' over time, resulting in rich, fluffy soil. It is also known as sheet composting.
One of the best things about lasagna gardening is how easy it is. You don't have to remove existing sod and weeds.
You don't have to double dig. You don't have to work the soil at all. The first layer consists of either brown corrugated cardboard or three layers of newspaper laid on top of the grass or weeds in the area you've selected for your garden. Wet this layer down to keep everything in place and start the decomposition process. The grass or weeds will break down fairly quickly because they will be smothered by the newspaper or cardboard, as well as by the materials you're going to layer on top of them. This layer also provides a dark, moist area to attract earthworms that will loosen up the soil as they tunnel through it.
Anything you'd put in a compost pile, you can put into a lasagna garden. The materials you put into the garden will break down, providing nutrient-rich, crumbly soil in which to plant.
The following materials are all perfect for lasagna gardens: grass clippings, leaves, fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea leaves and tea bags, weeds (if they haven't gone to seed, manure, compost, seaweed, shredded newspaper or junk mail, pine needles, spent blooms, trimmings from the garden, and peat moss.
Next, alternate layers of 'browns' such as fall leaves, shredded newspaper, peat and pine needles with layers of 'greens' such as vegetable scraps, garden trimmings, and grass clippings. In general, you want your 'brown' layers to be about twice as deep as your 'green' layers, but there's no need to get finicky about this.
Just layer browns and greens, and a lasagna garden will result. What you want at the end of your layering process is a 2-foot tall layered bed.
You'll be amazed at how much this will shrink down in a few weeks.
You can make a lasagna garden at any time of year. Fall is an optimum time because of the amount of organic materials you can get for free, thanks to fallen leaves and general yard waste.
Let the lasagna garden sit and break down all winter. By spring, it will be ready to plant in with a minimum of effort.

Stoking Demand in Mature Markets
Posted on Harvard Business Review: July 26, 2010 1:27 PM
Opera, which was born in Italy at the end of the 16th century, is struggling for survival in the country of its birth. The demand for tickets is falling; according to one estimate, the number of operagoers in Italy has fallen, over the years, by 20%. The costs of mounting operas are rising, and the art form usually caters only to small audiences at a time.
Moreover, Europeans believe that the state should underwrite culture, so there is no pressure on opera companies to make money. Around three-fourths of their revenues in Italy come from public funds. Consequently, the ordinary taxpayer ends up supporting an artistic activity that only the elite enjoy.
When you think about it, many mature industries face similar problems, with corporations fighting for larger shares of a shrinking market and accepting smaller profits. They follow their customers' life cycles and eventually die.
That raises the key issue: Is it possible to stoke demand in mature markets? My recent research shows that companies can use four levers to do so—as some opera companies are starting to do.
Go Beyond Core and Niche Customers. Several operas have developed products for younger and non-expert audiences. For instance, they offer discovery concerts that promote the operatic tradition among children and teenagers. They also broaden their appeal by producing popular operas instead of unknown ones. Milan's Teatro La Scala has reduced the number of niche titles it performs each season, focusing instead on popular operas such as Aida and Don Giovanni. As a result, tickets often sell out the day the box office opens.
Think Beyond Existing Platforms. To extend the customer base, some opera houses are using new channels. This enables them to overcome both geographic limitations (people who are unable to get to Milan or New York, for instance) and limitations on seating capacity. In 2007, the New York Metropolitan Opera launched opera performances that are shown live in cinemas in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, called Metropolitan Opera Live in HD at Cinemas. Inexpensive tickets and the availability of popcorn, no doubt, have made these box office hits; last winter, the showings of Bizet's Carmen sold out all over North America.
Look Beyond Existing Geographic Markets. Opera houses are becoming more global by organising international tours; striking alliances; and developing multiple teams In 2008, for instance, a La Scala troupe visited China—which will be a major market for opera in the future—for the first time. Opera houses can multiply reveneus by creating more than one troupe performing worldwide to the same quality standards.
Get Around Constraints. Opera companies face limits because they can hold only a limited number of shows and theatres are often small. To get around these problems, some opera houses now hold open air shows. For instance, the summer season at Verona's Arena and Rome's Terme di Caracalla are held outdoors. The target customer isn't the usual opera lover; the acoustics in the open air aren't the best. However, the atmosphere (you can dress casually); the setting (you sit on the steps of ancient ruins under the stars); and inexpensive tickets attract young Italians as well as foreign tourists. Some opera companies have also boosted the number of performances over the trade unions' protests. For instance, Milan's Teatro La Scala has increased the number of performances, from 160 to 250 per year.
As a rule, if your company is operating in a mature market, move your attention away from existing customers. While they may allow you to survive for a while, growth can come only from new customers. So "unblock" demand and reach "noncustomers" by lowering the geographical, economic, knowledge, and social barriers in your way.

It’s #SexWeek at 30 Dates, and the Experimental Daters have been sharing their takes on the topic of Sex.
Tonight Rebound Gal tackles the famous topic of the One Night Stand, from a female perspective.
Miss Twenty-Nine xxx
So, when I start to think about the subject of sex, there are a number of avenues I could go down (!).
However, I’ve decided to go down the road of the one night stand.
I am a big believer in having fun, so if the opportunity arises, I will, more often than not, take it! Now, I don’t go out hunting for fresh meat on a weekly basis (which I could very easily do, living where I do!).
And I should probably point out that throughout my 6 year relationship I was completely faithful, and would be in the future if and when I find myself in a new one.
But I’m a very sexual person.
I’m not saying that I can’t live without it, but I do remember one relationship where doing it once a day was a minimum!
This means that I am quite happy to meet new guys, and if I’m attracted to them, well, you can guess the rest.
Me being a girl, this can be frowned upon.
However I honestly don’t see the problem with bringing a guy back, having my way with him and not calling him the next day.
If a guy did it, you wouldn’t be surprised.
People say that you can’t have sex without having that emotional bond. I think you can. As long as you make sure you’re safe and careful, you don’t have to have the awkward, ‘So, I’ll call you…’ conversation. If you don’t want to call, don’t. It’s no skin off my nose.
I’m not saying I haven’t ever got attached.
There have been a few. But for the most part I have been quite happy to have fun and keep it at that. Like I said, if I were a guy, it wouldn’t be a problem.
The main things to take away from this are –
1) Have fun, you only have one chance at life and you need to go out and grab it.
2) Be safe, don’t just go home with anyone. I always make sure someone knows where I am, just in case.
3) Stay protected. Seriously, sex is fun and all, but we all know what can happen if you’re not careful and the consequences just aren’t worth it.
4) One night stands are great, just make sure you look after you.
5) Oh and don’t get upset if they don’t call! | <urn:uuid:89f1a07b-0b42-452c-b7fd-fef45dc014a5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://30datesblog.com/2014/02/16/sex-one-night-stands-rebound-gal/ | 2020-10-01T06:31:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00419.warc.gz | en | 0.959709 | 610 |

The researchers postulate that impaired brain development in term infants with congenital heart disease may be related to abnormal fetal circulation and lower levels of oxygen-saturated blood reaching the brain in utero.
“Congenital heart disease already has affected brain development before birth,” said study co-author Patrick McQuillen, MD, a pediatric intensivist and assistant professor of pediatrics at UCSF Children's Hospital. “At a metabolic and a micro-structural level, these infants’ brains look at least one month less developed at term, even before they have heart surgery,” he said.
The study, conducted between September 2001 and July 2005, compared the brains of 41 term infants with congenital heart disease with those of 16 normal newborns. Published in the November 8 issue of the “New England Journal of Medicine,” the study is the first to use a highly sensitive neonatal incubator that was developed at UCSF to compare brain development in the two infant groups. The incubator includes a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coil that allows it to create much more detailed images than regular MRI.
The device gives researchers studying the brains of infants born with heart deformities "an exciting new window on infant brain development that is amazingly powerful," according to study lead author Steven Miller, MDCM, MAS, a pediatric neurologist and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of British Columbia, Child & Family Research Institute. “This is the first suggestion that there are brain abnormalities that we can measure in both the structure and the function of the brain that you cannot detect with regular MRI,” Miller said.
The infants with congenital heart disease who were included in the study primarily suffered from two heart defects: transposition of the great arteries, a condition in which the aorta and pulmonary artery are in the wrong position, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and its variants, a rare condition in which the left heart chamber is severely underdeveloped.
The left side of a healthy heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and then pumps it through the left heart chamber to the rest of the body. In infants with congenital heart disease, the volume of blood and the amount of oxygen and other nutrients flowing to the brain and body are compromised by the abnormal circulation. Transposition of the great arteries and HLHS require cardiac surgery shortly after birth. Complete repair of HLHS may require as many as three corrective surgeries.
"If you look at something basic, like head circumference at birth, these babies’ heads tend to be smaller than those of normal term babies," McQuillen said. "So, clearly, the brains are not growing normally. But I think our data shows that not only are they not growing, they're not developing as expected."
The advanced MRI techniques used in the study allowed examination of regional brain micro-structural development and of brain biochemistry and found tiny areas of cell injury that are unusual in full-term infants, McQuillen said. "The most common type of injury that we saw was an injury to the white matter (of the brain) that is very unusual in full-term babies but looked identical to that seen in babies that were born prematurely."
Miller said the injuries appear as multiple small areas, usually one to five millimeters each. This pattern is markedly different from the brain injuries in normal term infants, such as perinatal asphyxia, in which the damage is typically located in the brain’s gray matter.
The gray matter is where the bodies of the neurons reside, while the white matter contains axons that are the nerve cell fibers connecting gray matter areas of the brain to one another. The location of the injuries is significant because different types of injuries appear at different stages of development, owing to periods of selective vulnerability of cell types that are developmentally regulated and occur at different points during gestation, according to Miller.
Miller and McQuillen emphasize that the ultimate goal of their research is to understand the point at which brain injury occurs in children with congenital heart disease in order to better understand when and how to intervene to protect the baby’s brain.
"Traditionally, the focus has always been on the surgery. It would be great to be able to say that you do the surgery and fix their hearts and their blood oxygen and then brain development catches up. We need to look more broadly at what occurs before surgery. For example, there has been interest in doing heart repairs earlier, even in utero," McQuillen said. "Our data has implications for the timing of surgery."
Miller and McQuillen hope their research will help improve outcomes for children with congenital heart disease, who may be moderately to severely delayed on standard developmental measures and be enrolled in special education programs after they enter school.
"The goal for this study is to look at brain injury and development and really connect it to what's happening with these kids once they reach school age," said McQuillen, who added that the research team is grateful to the families who generously donated their time to participate in the studies during periods of extreme family stress. | <urn:uuid:a7b6027e-f5e8-4fce-b34d-765401fbe9d1> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.pregnancyandbaby.com/baby/articles/945013/brains-of-term-infants-with-heart-disease-resemble-those-of-preemies | 2017-01-22T16:21:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281450.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00554-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96699 | 1,059 |
Before 2020, 9 in 10 global business leaders said they were facing a technical skills shortage, according to McKinsey. After managing the challenges of the pandemic in 2020, that gap has only widened in many critical roles, such as cloud support and cybersecurity.
Hiring managers face other priorities in 2021. We asked several experts in enterprise technology, workforce research, and recruiting what types of job skills will matter most in the new year.
Same skills, new learning modes
In 2021, many of the in-demand technology skills will remain the same. Demand for AI, Python programming, data storytelling (or analytics translators), and digital marketing skills will grow as companies accelerate their digital transformation in response to business challenges caused by the pandemic.
What will shift more significantly is who is learning these skills, and how. We will see an increased emphasis on spreading digital skills literacy across the organization, not just technical teams. Upskilling will help close these skill gaps and cultivate talent. Online courses and guided learning—online training embedded within an application or a project—will be effective for developing new skills on the job.

High-tech skill sets
Demand for AI and ML experts will continue to accelerate. Just as AI and ML must be properly applied to the right use cases at the right time, so also does successful digital transformation require process re-engineering and change management.
Required skills include prioritizing critical processes that often span multiple departments or systems, and understanding the obstacles and inefficiencies involved, often before great data insight is available. Communications and enablement planning is also needed to manifest change and enable organizational adaptability.
Where employees are working full time onsite—in manufacturing or healthcare roles, for instance—there will continue to be an escalated need for close communication and employee support that, in turn, will continue driving demand for effective mobile tools.

Higher EQ in IT
Demand for soft skills in technology hiring has increased in recent years. Creativity, cognitive flexibility, and emotional intelligence were the most sought-after skills in IT in 2020, and I expect that to continue.
Organizations are much more acclimated to virtual work because of the pandemic. This has widened the talent pool, so that companies can now recruit and hire from anywhere for specific technical skills on a team or project.
Another factor is the rise of low-code digital platforms. Advanced technical skills are no longer essential to manage a team of developers or engineers. IT leaders who have softer skills and can focus on communication, creative problem solving, and prioritizing the right business outcomes are becoming more valuable.
Senior manager, technology business management, Deloitte
Zero-trust security skills
I see growing demand for people who can help automate and implement information security controls that meet new needs, such as supporting and securing a hybrid workforce of remote and office employees.
As more organizations shift to a zero-trust framework, they can no longer rely on VPN-based access. Securing one centralized network is no longer enough. With workers connecting from home over networks, securing endpoint devices is more important than ever. Identity and access management are growing, complex disciplines that require specialized skills.
Vice president of engineering and product, Upwork
Specialist roles in the digital enterprise
Leaders are looking for people who can bring digital prowess to all aspects of their organization. But with every company prioritizing digital transformation projects, finding the best talent can be extremely difficult.
The skills in highest demand aren’t one-size-fits-all, either. The most sought-after professionals are competent in paid social/search, user experience (UX design), digital marketing (SEO/SEM), e-commerce, service design, and digital analytics. Individuals with these skills, and broader soft skills, are positioned to do well in the 2021 job market.

Changing the world is a big cause. It sounds big if we are talking about the physical world, the earth.
Let’s replace the word ‘world’ with ‘reality’. Can you change the reality?
Of course you can do so.
Reality is the way we see the world. A point of reference in our thinking and action. So remember, when somebody says ” The reality is…..”, he is actually referring to his own reality.
You own your reality. I own my own reality. All of us have different realities.
So when we own our reality, we are totally responsible to create that reality in whatever way we want it to be.
The one thing we can do to change the reality is to..
Change the lense of reality. If we wear a pair of sunglass with red lenses, the world looks red to us. If we change the lenses to a pair of crystal clear lense of course the world then is no longer red in colour in our vision.
The lenses act as filters and distort the images that we see. A yellow coloured rose looks red through a red coloured lense. The reality is , it is yellow in colour.
So what are the lenses of reality? The lenses of reality are simply our beliefs and values.
Do you need to change your beliefs and values to change your reality? That my friend, is for you to answer.
Instead of drastically changing your beliefs and values, let me offer you an alternative.
Before that, let’s get back to the lense analogy. One way to change the lenses is to change them to another lenses.
Another way to change them is to change them to nothing. This is the alternative I talked about earlier.
You simply take away your current lenses and not putting on any other lense.
See everything with a pair of naked eyes.
Instead of seeing things, events or people in relations to your beliefs and value, switch to see all of those as they are.
Drop any assumptions and seek to understand. Not sympathise. When we seek to understand, we ask questions. Ask questions to know more and understand. When we seek to sympathise, we sit by the ledge and look downwards.
The beautiful thing about this simple action of dropping assumptions and seeking to understand is that people are more open to express themselves to us.
They know and they can feel that we are able to see them as who they are.
Because of this, we will then feel more comfortable and at ease to express ourselves more genuinely in return too.
Just imagine what will happen if everyone has the liberty and freedom to truly express themselves genuinely and authentically?
The world will be full of more genuine and authentic people.
Isn’t that the kind of reality that you might want? | <urn:uuid:faf881f8-fecd-4f95-8e20-666af32355a7> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://www.theminimalistguy.com/simple-action-change-reality/ | 2019-06-21T00:07:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999291.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620230326-20190621012326-00349.warc.gz | en | 0.943806 | 586 |

The rise in carbon dioxide emissions is big news. It is prompting action to reverse global warming. But little or no attention is being paid to the long-term fall in oxygen concentrations and its knock-on effects.
Compared to prehistoric times, the level of oxygen in the earth's atmosphere has declined by over a third and in polluted cities the decline may be more than 50%. This change in the makeup of the air we breathe has potentially serious implications for our health. Indeed, it could ultimately threaten the survival of human life on earth, according to Roddy Newman, who is drafting a new book, The Oxygen Crisis.
I am not a scientist, but this seems a reasonable concern. It is a possibility that we should examine and assess. So, what's the evidence?
Around 10,000 years ago, the planet's forest cover was at least twice what it is today, which means that forests are now emitting only half the amount of oxygen.
Desertification and deforestation are rapidly accelerating this long-term loss of oxygen sources.
The story at sea is much the same. Nasa reports that in the north Pacific ocean oxygen-producing phytoplankton concentrations are 30% lower today, compared to the 1980s. This is a huge drop in just three decades.
Moreover, the UN environment programme confirmed in 2004 that there were nearly 150 "dead zones" in the world's oceans where discharged sewage and industrial waste, farm fertiliser run-off and other pollutants have reduced oxygen levels to such an extent that most or all sea creatures can no longer live there. This oxygen starvation is reducing regional fish stocks and diminishing the food supplies of populations that are dependent on fishing. It also causes genetic mutations and hormonal changes that can affect the reproductive capacity of sea life, which could further diminish global fish supplies.
Professor Robert Berner of Yale University has researched oxygen levels in prehistoric times by chemically analysing air bubbles trapped in fossilised tree amber. He suggests that humans breathed a much more oxygen-rich air 10,000 years ago.
Further back, the oxygen levels were even greater. Robert Sloan has listed the percentage of oxygen in samples of dinosaur-era amber as: 28% (130m years ago), 29% (115m years ago), 35% (95m years ago), 33% (88m years ago), 35% (75m years ago), 35% (70m years ago), 35% (68m years ago), 31% (65.2m years ago), and 29% (65m years ago).
Professor Ian Plimer of Adelaide University and Professor Jon Harrison of the University of Arizona concur. Like most other scientists they accept that oxygen levels in the atmosphere in prehistoric times averaged around 30% to 35%, compared to only 21% today – and that the levels are even less in densely populated, polluted city centres and industrial complexes, perhaps only 15 % or lower.
Much of this recent, accelerated change is down to human activity, notably the industrial revolution and the burning of fossil fuels. The Professor of Geological Sciences at Notre Dame University in Indiana, J Keith Rigby, was quoted in 1993-1994 as saying:
In the 20th century, humanity has pumped increasing amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning the carbon stored in coal, petroleum and natural gas. In the process, we've also been consuming oxygen and destroying plant life – cutting down forests at an alarming rate and thereby short-circuiting the cycle's natural rebound. We're artificially slowing down one process and speeding up another, forcing a change in the atmosphere.
Very interesting. But does this decline in oxygen matter? Are there any practical consequences that we ought to be concerned about? What is the effect of lower oxygen levels on the human body? Does it disrupt and impair our immune systems and therefore make us more prone to cancer and degenerative diseases?
Surprisingly, no significant research has been done, perhaps on the following presumption: the decline in oxygen levels has taken place over millions of years of our planet's existence. The changes during the shorter period of human life have also been slow and incremental – until the last two centuries of rapid urbanisation and industrialisation. Surely, this mostly gradual decline has allowed the human body to evolve and adapt to lower concentrations of oxygen? Maybe, maybe not.
The pace of oxygen loss is likely to have speeded up massively in the last three decades, with the industrialisation of China, India, South Korea and other countries, and as a consequence of the massive worldwide increase in the burning of fossil fuels.
Evidence from prehistoric times indicates that the oxygen content of pristine nature was above the 21% of total volume that it is today. It has decreased in recent times due mainly to the burning of coal in the middle of the last century. Currently the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere dips to 19% over impacted areas, and it is down to 12 to 17% over the major cities. At these levels it is difficult for people to get sufficient oxygen to maintain bodily health: it takes a proper intake of oxygen to keep body cells and organs, and the entire immune system, functioning at full efficiency. At the levels we have reached today cancers and other degenerative diseases are likely to develop. And at 6 to 7% life can no longer be sustained.
Scaremongering? I don't think so. A reason for doomsaying? Not yet. What is needed is an authoritative evidence-based investigation to ascertain current oxygen levels and what consequences, if any, there are for the long-term wellbeing of our species – and, indeed, of all species. | <urn:uuid:5b7abbfa-5d5a-4d05-a634-6b0f48965a5c> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/aug/13/carbonemissions.climatechange | 2015-07-03T09:18:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095806.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00030-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946481 | 1,143 |
A Russian law student has had it with men manspreading on trains and has taken action into her own hands. Armed with a bottle of water mixed with bleach she is “spray crotching” offenders. Yes, you heard me, she is walking up and down aisles of trains and splashing any man who dares spread his legs to an unacceptable width in the crotch. The mixture is guaranteed to leave the area in question bleached. Manspread shaming has just been taken to a new level. So far no one has reported her because let’s face it, who is going to go to the police?
This is what happens in my home town every Monday morning on the way to work. Our whole city has sing-a-longs on the public transport systems because it is the happiest place in the world. OK, not really , but some clowns thought they would give it a try. Onya Perth.
This is what happens in Perth if you don’t mind the gap … One, two, three, push. OMG, I am so glad that has never happened to me, how embarrassing.
Best comments in today’s newspapers ….hilarious
In Seattle 400 police, firemen, and ambulance dudes would have turned up, and after spending a week holding press conferences and demolishing the entire station Homeland security would have raided his house and read his emails, the police would have shot him, and the hospital ER would have given his wife a bill for a million dollars for confirming that he had a sore leg before he was shot.
If that was England, he’d have been robbed. Then fined for trespassing.
Right wingers would have left him and spat at him and probably blamed him for not looking.
In England they would have all been cautioned for not filling out a risk assessment !
It’s pretty simple. Stuck idiot = late for work. Solution: remove idiot.
Feeling good about my fellow Perth people today, still the worlds worst drivers, but now the best train pushers.
A word of warning dear loons do not, and I repeat, do not, choose a railway line to make drunk passionate love. Yep, you guessed it, a Ukrainian couple decided to do more than toe the line and now one is dead an the other is missing his legs. The survivor told police they “wanted to feel a sense of thrill near a railway track,”
Holy Swedish meatball, Batman, a cleaning lady has managed to commandeered/steal a train and then crash it in to a house at the posh end of town. Ta-da. Swedish police are still unsure what the hell happened, whether she actually stole it or whether she had accidentally knocked a lever or two. Anywho, the train was going at about 50m/h (80km/h) when it flew off the rails, skidded across the snow and kaboomed straight into the first floor kitchen of a house. The cleaning lady is currently in hospital while the train remains inside the house.
Holy health and safety Batman. Indonesia is installing a deterent for any wouldbe cheapskate commuters aka train surfers. Yes, the contraption consists of a metal frame with a line of concrete balls dangling from it. These balls will hang just a few inches above the tops of the carriages. Hmm, now let see people try to ride on the roof now.

President Biden’s open borders policies are a national security threat and a disgrace to the rule of law. As of April 2022, almost 3 million illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border during the Biden Presidency. In 2021, 42 people on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) terror watch-list crossed the southern border. Those are just the numbers that we know about. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security estimated that over 400,000 illegal migrants entered the border illegally last year undetected. During this Congress, I supported
and voted for legislation to:
- Restart President Trump’s border wall
- Reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy
- Maintain Title 42 protections to expel illegal migrants during a public health emergency
- Deploy new technology and hire new border agents to help secure our southern border
My strong stances for border security are part of why President Trump endorsed my campaign for re-election. In the next Congress, I’ll continue to push to return to many of the policies I worked together with him on to implement that secured our border and kept our nation safe. | <urn:uuid:cdd5a9ff-d7e0-4808-8b1d-0ad3308cf2c9> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://andybarrforcongress.com/issue/ | 2023-11-28T16:44:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679099892.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128151412-20231128181412-00334.warc.gz | en | 0.940662 | 227 |

carthage man sentenced to life in prison
for sexual exploitation of a child
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – David M. Ketchmark, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Carthage, Mo., man was sentenced in federal court today for the sexual exploitation of a child.
Todd Christopher Smith, 41, of Carthage, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Richard E. Dorr to life in federal prison without parole. Smith was sentenced as a repeat and dangerous sex offender against minors based on his prior convictions for sexual misconduct in the first degree in Missouri and criminal sexual abuse in Illinois (both convictions involved minor victims).
On Aug. 17, 2012, Smith was found guilty of using a minor to create child pornography.
Officers with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department responded to Smith’s residence on Sept. 27, 2011, after receiving a report that he had slapped a minor female. In the course of their investigation, officers found evidence of Smith’s sexual abuse of several child victims. Officers discovered six videos on Smith’s cell phone that depicted Smith engaged in sex with the child victim. There were also 12 videos that appear to have been taken covertly in the bathrooms in Smith’s residence that depict the child victim as well as five other minors.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by the Southwest Missouri Cybercrimes Task Force, the Jasper County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department and the FBI.
Project Safe Childhood
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

That looks like the culprit of useing 90/100w bulbs. You really shouldn't go higher than 55watt in stock housings with out upgraded wiring anyways.
There are several thread where people have put the housings in the oven to soften the glue in order to open them up for either a reto-fit, repair, or painting.
Ill try to find you a couple real quick to help yea out.

|amc49||The headlight assembly is heat glued together and not intended to ever be taken apart. Not that someone couldn't do it but getting it back together and still sealed to not get condensation will be problematic......................|

|bringler26||you can buy that plug from Ford. don't know the part number off the top of my head.|
|03-03-2013 10:29 PM|
the harness that connects to the bulb is very easy to change. Just cut the old one off and wire a new one in.
I cant tell if the plug that is attached to the actual headlight (where the car harness attaches) is missed up or not..
if it is you will need to bake the headlights apart and try to replace it
if you need help with anything let me know

Nelson, Shaw back in Cabinet
- PM Holness to name all ministers by weekend
Edmond Campbell, Senior Staff Reporter
THE CABINET of newly inaugurated Prime Minister Andrew Holness now comprises three members.
A day after his historic elevation to the seat of head of government, the 39-year-old prime minister instructed Governor General Sir Patrick Allen to swear in Audley Shaw and Dwight Nelson as ministers of finance and national security, respectively.
Before the end of the week, the full slate of Cabinet ministers is expected to be in place.
Yesterday's brief ceremony took place at King's House and was attended by family members and other government officials and well-wishers.
Holness, in his first official public address yesterday, said that the decision to stage an early swearing-in ceremony for Shaw and Nelson was made as a result of the critical and urgent nature of their responsibilities.
Describing the decision as "strategic and practical" Holness said he was living up to his promise to be "pragmatic".
Critical gaps to fill
"You can't have any gaps at all in administration of government in this area and, indeed, the minister of finance, strategically as well, the minister has several meetings that he must attend to right away and we certainly cannot afford any gaps," Holness said.
Earlier the governor general, in a moment of humour, enquired whether the swearing in of the two ministers were symbolic of the "pecking order" of the prime minister's Cabinet.
"There is no pecking order, Governor General. All ministers are equal, certainly in the sight of the prime minister," Holness quipped.
Holness was sworn in as Jamaica's ninth prime minister at a ceremony at King's House on Sunday. | <urn:uuid:411079a0-326c-4793-bf42-e10915d2d861> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20111025/lead/lead3.html | 2017-02-25T20:43:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171834.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00635-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978933 | 364 |
Since the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the Part B International Pricing Index (IPI) model late last year, there have been a number of inaccurate claims floating around about the proposal’s impact on patients, biopharmaceutical innovation and the U.S. health care system. This week, we are setting the record straight on how the proposal, which would set U.S. prices for Part B medicines based on the prices mandated by foreign governments, would most likely result in restricted access for seniors who rely on Part B for their medicines.
Fact: Every time other countries have set prices, it has resulted in restrictions in access to medicines. The recent report from HHS’ Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) found that all 16 countries evaluated in the report had fewer treatment options than in the United States and patients experienced delays in accessing treatment or were denied innovative medicines that could improve their quality of life. This is concerning given U.S. patients currently have, on average, access to 96 percent of new cancer medicines, while patients living in the countries included in the IPI model have access to only half of those medicines, on average. On top of having fewer options, patients in these countries also have to wait years longer, on average, for these medications than patients in the United States. That’s why a broad range of stakeholders have raised concerns with the IPI model’s impact on patient access to medicines.
In addition to research, numerous patient stories shed light on how access restrictions abroad have led to worse health outcomes. A recent Independent article highlights how patients as young as 25 years old are refused a promising multiple sclerosis treatment that can delay the disease and give patients an additional seven years of independence before needing a wheelchair. One U.K. patient shared the harsh reality of this system, explaining “You can’t imagine what it’s like to get a diagnosis and to be told there’s nothing for you.” Its patient stories like these that the Administration must consider before opening the floodgates to flawed foreign pricing policies.
The International Pricing Index Model is the wrong prescription for Medicare and America’s seniors. The Administration must stop the IPI proposal and instead focus on the right prescription for Medicare Part B. Policymakers should pursue changes that fix misaligned incentives, such as those seen in the 340B program, and support the continued shift toward value-driven care. Approaches like these will ensure the Part B program continues to fulfill its promise to seniors.

Mason Hosts Mural Festival in April
By Ahmed Farid, Staff Writer
Mason has impressive buildings and great scenery. However, Jeff Yu, vice president of the Mural Brigade, said that “our campus is very ‘businesslike’.” Mason’s campus can be described as elegant and sophisticated, but it lacks artistry that stands out and represents the Patriot spirit.
Yu and his fellow students in the organization decided to do something about it. It began when Finn Fisk, the Mural Brigade’s creative director, decided in October 2016 that she wanted to make our campus more interesting and creative.
Fisk went to Professor Don Russell, the university curator at the Arts and Design building, and asked for his assistance in fulfilling her vision. Since then, Finn along with the rest of the Mural Brigade team and Russell, have been working on creating murals and creating Finn’s vision, for which she is incredibly thankful.
So far, two murals were created. One of these murals was created by Mason student Reed Griffith, who has been receiving designs from students who were interested in the project and wanted to work on the mural.
Griffith, an artist himself, has been able to adapt other students’ designs into a mural. The other mural was created by professional artist Maricama. Maricama is an artist based in Virginia Beach.
In addition to painting, Maricama also creates “fantastical plays, puppets, performances, paintings, illustration, comics, and videos with the intention to raise the vibration of the collective consciousness,” says Yu.
Maricama’s mural will be on display by the side of the arts and design building while Yu’s mural can be seen from The Mix.
On April 7, there will be a festival outside of the Arts and Design building from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. celebrating the newest addition to Mason’s campus. Students will get a chance to participate in games, eat food, and listen to some music. Students will also get a chance to meet the artists. The Mural Brigade is working on three more murals that will be unveiled on Sept. 7. If students have any designs that they would like to showcase, send an email to email@example.com.

He was born in November 18, 1945 in Zvenigorod, Moscow region. He received higher technical education, and later graduated from Krasnokazarmenniy Institute of KGB.
From 1971 he worked in state security agency, since 1974 - in the First KGB Chief Directorate (foreign intelligence service). More than three years he worked in a business trip to South East Asia. Since 1992 was the head of a number of regional offices of FSS in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, in particular, led the Admiralty district department of FSS.
According to some mass media, Murov belonged to Petersburg commercial and bureaucratic clan, named "Admiralty", headed by the former deputy general director of "Lenexpo" and vice-governor of St. Petersburg Sergey Tarasov, who died in 2009 in the crash of the train "Nevsky Express".
In Leningrad KGB department in the 90s Evgenii Murov met Vladimir Putin.
Since 1997 Murov held the post of deputy head of the FSS in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region. Until August 1998 the head of department was Viktor Cherkesov (from March 2003 to May 2008 - Head of the State Committee for Control over Drug Trafficking, renamed in July 2004 to the Federal Service for Drug Control, Federal Drug Control Service). Some observers have noted that in Murov merit was put an absence of terrorist attacks in St. Petersburg in 1999, when a wave of major terrorist attacks in September waved ib Russia: there were explosions in residential buildings in the Dagestan town of Buinaksk, Moscow on Guryanov Street and Kashirskoye highway, as well as in the city of Volgodonsk in the Rostov region.
In January-May 2000, Murov was the first deputy head of the economic security department of the FSS. Post of the Head of Department held Yuri Zaostrovtsev (since March 2004 - First Deputy Chairman of the Board and member of the Board of Directors of "Vnesheconombank") May 18, 2000, Vladimir Putin, who became an elected president of Russian Federation shortly before, appointed Murov a director of the Federal Protective Service (FPS). Some sources claimed that Murov became the head of the FPS yet in May 1998.
According to mass media reports, Murov first reported on the threat of terrorist attacks committed by Islamic extremists during the summit of the "Big Eight" countries leaders in July 2001 in Genoa. This information, as well as large-scale Anti-globalists speeches, forced the summit participants to stay not in Genoa Ducal Palace, as planned, but on the sea cruise ship.
June 9, 2007 the mass media reported that Murov is the only one registered candidate in the elections of the Russian Federation of Boxing (RFB). On June 27, at the extraordinary conference of RFB Murov was elected its president. The acting Federation President Boris Ivanyuzhenkov, former president Edward Khusainov, General Secretary Edward Abdulmanov, supported his candidacy. According to mass media reports, the conference was held under unprecedented security measures. The police have cordoned off all entrances to the building of the Russian Olympic Committee, which brought together participants of the conference; snipers were on duty on the roof.
Mass media called the main Murov features that are phenomenal memory and extreme cruelty. Murov has the rank of General of the Army, he was awarded state awards. In addition, he is awarded by a number of public awards, including the Order of the "Silver Cross» of First degree and the distinction "For Merits to St. Petersburg." Murov is a laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation Marshal Zhukov and the National Prize of the Peter the Great. Evgenii Murov is married and has a son Andrew, General director of "Pulkovo" airport.

Murov Evgenii Alekseevich was born in 1945. He is interesting by the fact that he was not spying in Europe, but in Southeast Asia, where he stayed for a business trip for 3.5 years. He worked in intelligence service from 1974 to 1992. After that he came in FSS Petersburg Department - first he served as head of the district department, and in 1997 became deputy head of the Department of Federal Security Service of St. Petersburg. When "Europeans" had seized power over the central apparatus of FSB in 1998, Murov was transferred to Moscow, to the post of first deputy head of the Economic Security Department. This was nearly the main department of the FSB, he was firmly tied to a huge amount of money ... When Putin was elected as a president, Murov became a head of the presidential guard (FPS) - Since May 2000. However, now FPS is not the same gigantic secret service, which was a Security Service of the President under Korzhakov at the time. Murov is only concerned with the protection of President Putin. It does not matter whether Putin is a areal President, or only pretends that something runs out there - all the same, all the power of the "European mafia" over Russia currently holds upon him. Therefore, his protection is one of the most important tasks for mafia ... Murov belonging to "European mafia" is unquestionable, but it is not clear enough, how could he get there.
There are two possible variations:
1. Murov yet had a chance to go to Europe. After all, he served in the intelligence service for 18 years, he could fail at first and glow up in European direction, and then to go to Indochina, i.e., to 6 or 7 Intelligence Departments.
In Leningrad Directorate of KGB in the second half of the 1970s, Chekists worked simultaneously or almost simultaneously with the future president, now holding key positions, both in power and in the economic structures of the government. They are Sergei Ivanov, Nikolai Patrushev, Viktor Cherkesov, Viktor Ivanov, Georgy Poltavchenko, Sergei Veryovkin-Rohalsky, Evgenii Murov, and Vladimir Strzhalkovsky…
General Murov is directly in charge of the security service of the president, Viktor Zolotov. The degree of the influence of the last one in Kremlin is estimated very high. Many colleagues compare him even with Alexander Korzhakov. According to unofficial information, Zolotov exactly lobbied an appointment on his posts of Georgy Kutovoy (FEK) and Alexey Miller ("Gazprom"). Besides, in both cases, according to independent experts, it some’s not just about personal stuff preferences of chief of personal bodyguard of President but about a certain political and economic vector. Viktor Zolotov supports opponents of reform plans of RAO UES on Anatoly Chubais and German Gref.

Putin met with Yevgeny Murov exactly in the Leningrad KGB administration two decades ago. Since 1997, Murov was the deputy head of the St. Petersburg FSS, then transferred to the central office of the Federal Security Service (worked with Putin and Patrushev), and in May 2000, he led the Federal Security Service. ... The third stage (May 2000 - Spring 2001). After winning the presidential election, Putin has taken a number of vigorous steps to promote people, known to him, to the top. In May the new government was formed, in which Kudrin and Gref come to the leadership of the economic block of the government. There have been changes in force structures: the Foreign Intelligence Service heads Sergei Lebedev, and the Federal Security Service - Evgenii Murov.

The President took the General-Colonel Alexander Grigoriev from a post of the head of Federal Security Service Department for St. Petersburg and Leningrad region, and introduced the new chief - Sergey Smirnov general-lieutenant.
Then Putin decided to change the leadership of the Federal Security Service, putting Evgenii Murov, a deputy head of the St. Petersburg FSS, as its leader. Smirnov entered the Murov's team in autumn, becoming his first deputy. What happened during the month, when Smirnov was in FPS, is unknown. What is clear to understand that today, the FPS is in a rather delicate situation, and there might be many reasons to remove the "guard number 2". Take, for example, the scandal with the fight of FPS employees in Sochi, which Smirnov had to deal with. Besides, do not forget that last summer a security service of the president stood out from FPS to the separate structure again. And most likely, this "divorce" was not without complications.
Source: “Grani.ru”. 12.01.2001.
It was assumed Initially that FAPSI inheritance will simply join the FPS, but its leader Evgenii Murov thought otherwise. It was he who insisted on the creation of the Service of Special Communication and Information (SSCI). On the one side, it will be an independent agency with its own staff, medical service and private security. On the other - it is subject to the FPS (its head is ex officio Deputy Director of the Guard Service.).
Murov's wisdom is hard to underestimate. He went to such a move specifically, that SSCI has not become a special services and the OSA subject. Considering the elections - it is extremely principle.

It turns out that half a year ago, the Federal Protective Service (FPS), responsibility of which includes the protection of the president and other VIP-officials, became the owner of the trademark "official supplier of the Kremlin" and since then has successfully rents it out to everyone. ... However, the vast number of licenses for using an "official supplier of the Kremlin" title, FPS issued to alcohol and tobacco traders. For example, CJSC "Russian Wine and Vodka Company" specializes in supplying vodka to Kremlin and CJSC "P.R. Rus" and "Trade and Marketing" LLC - whiskey, cognac, tequila and rum. Also Kremlin inhabitants smoke much (apparently when they drink!). CJSC "Liggett-Ducat" and "Gallaher Liggett-Ducat" LLC have the status of official supplier of cigarettes in Kremlin. However, to be honest, not all of it boils down to drinking and smoking. It turns out that the kremlins also greatly respect household utensils of Lomonosov Porcelain Factory ... It is unlikely that the Kremlin caretaker has never faced the Kremlin suppliers, working "under cover" of FPS, for a year and a half. On the other hand, he could quietly trust to Evgenii Murov to carry out their castings. It's a sin not to use FPS opportunities for the selection of worthy.

In 2004, the FPS structures formed a Fund "Kremlin-9", which was an effective lobbyist, capable of solving the problems of its partners in the corridors of governance. One of the partners was called Child and old age Welfare Foundation, which received two promising area for the construction of buildings with a total area of 40 thousand square meters those years in Moscow. Previously, these areas could not be transferred to anyone, as it was a bomb shelter under them - a strategic object.

It was assumed that Murov might know something unpleasant about the former governor of the Perm. Reporters speculated that, given the persistence and rancor of Trutnev, Murov should be afraid of him.

In 2006, Evgenii Murov has initiated legal action against ex-Senator Igor Izmestyev, later accused of a series of very serious crimes, among them - the organization of eight murders and attempted murders. The object of the proceedings became Izmestiev's house on Rublevo-Uspensky highway, which was located in 600 meters from the presidential residence, "Novo-Ogaryovo". FPS achieved a judicial decision on demolition of house, valued at $ 40 million, in 2006. The court invalidated the agreement of acquiring a plot by Izmestyev and building a home on it, because he had not coordinated the construction of the FPS. His interest in Izmestiev's case Murov explained by the fact that the ex-senator blew fireworks in the evenings on the territory of the house and hindered a peace of President of the Russian Federation. Izmestyev had his own view of the situation: he believed that the reason for filing the lawsuit was his refusal of selling house to FPS for a pittance. Also Izmestyev argued that this refusal led to his arrest in January 2007, and all charges against him in a particularly grave crime are an occasion, contrived by FSO structures.

In 2007, Evgenii Murov came into conflict with the head of the Ministry of Agriculture Alexei Gordeyev. The history of the conflict is: FPS in due to the upcoming reconstruction of the fourteenth Kremlin housing should have to change the office. The building of state company OJSC "Agropribor» located on the Skakovaya street in Moscow met all the requirements. The decision to transfer an unused area of the building in 4377 square meters, and eight buildings with a total area of 2149 square meters to Russian Federation was made in October 2007, but the General Director of SRI "Agpropribor" Yuri Yunaev, who learned of the impending transfer of the property, sold part of the premises. Herewith Yunaev called the activity of Evgenii Murov and his companions not otherwise as raider seizure. Implementation of the state property was carried out illegally, test materials were sent to the Department of economic security of Russian Interior Ministry, and the central office of the Federal Property Agency was proposed to contact to the court demanding the return of unlawfully expropriated property to the state. Then an Agriculture Minister Gordeyev stood for Yunaev, coming thus to a conflict with Murov, and the Moscow Arbitration Court three times dismissed the claims of a Federal Property Management Agency, which was acting in the interests of the state and FPS. Then Evgenii Murov publicly called the actions of managers and employees of the Federal Property Agency unprofessional, because they failed to protect the interests of the state.

Evgenii Murov at the time expressed support for the Academy of Security, Defense and Law Enforcement (ASDLE), while the General Attorney's Office raised the question of liquidation of the organization, in cause of carrying out not quite legitimate activities. ASDLE involved in the fact that manufactured the state awards, certificates and the form of high-ranking officers in 67 regions of Russia. General Prosecutor's Office stated that the Academy, as a public organization, positioning itself as a state, uses symbols and attributes of state governance. In addition, ASDLE illegally, according to prosecutors, established dozens of identical state awards on behalf of the Academy special ranks were assigned and ASDLE staff issued service ID's that are similar to the ID's of the state sample. According to the General Prosecutor's Office, it creates conditions for corruption and discredits the government. President of the Academy Viktor Shevchenko, despite the attacks of the prosecutor's office, felt himself quite confident, as he received a full support in the government, from the Security Council and the Federal Security Service to the Ministry of Defense. Among the authors of letters in support of the Academy were the deputy head of the FSS Border Service Vladimir Rozhkov, the deputy chief of the Federal Security Service Academy Valery Andreev and Evgenii Murov.

Then in jeopardy was a project of the manager of the Office of the President Activity Vladimir Kozhin on construction of the hotel on the Red Square in cost of 360 million dollars because of claims of Evgenii Murov on the part of the building. If the building passed to Murov, the state had to compensate the expenditure of 150 million dollars to "UIC Development", a developer unit of United Industrial Corporation (UIC), controlled by senator from Tuva and the owner of the Industrial Bank Sergey Pugachev. Russian President Administration in conjunction with the "UIC Development" realized investment contracts based on the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "FC" Kremlin" in 2004. Conflict of FPS and UDP for the building did not take place for the first time: in 2005 Evgenii Murov sent a letter to then-President Vladimir Putin with a request to transfer this building to FPS, but, despite the positive Presidential Resolution, the building then remained in use of UDP.

Recently his department bought the Mercedes-Benz S 600 L with special protection for the bodywork of 27 million rubles.

Officially it's prohibited to FPS to conduct business activities, so the agency of Murov performs this function for free, and money for certificates received so-called "Kremlin Suppliers Guild" ("Guild of Purveyors to the Kremlin» LLC, established by inter-regional public fund of promoting the federal bodies of state protection "Kremlin-9." The Fund, in turn, is established by a group of individuals who are the veterans of the security services, according to media reports. The net profit of the fund in 2009 amounted to 21 million 355 thousand rubles). According to the press statement, the Guild charges in its favor up to 1.5% of sales of certified products, herewith the certificate of "Official Purveyor to the Moscow Kremlin" is worth 2.5 million rubles, certificate of "Moscow Kremlin Supplier" - 1.5 million rubles, certificate of a "Honorary member of the Guild of Purveyors to the Kremlin" - 750 thousand rubles.
Ford Motor Company and Mercedes-Benz enjoy the arrangement of Evgenii Murov. In 2009, the FPS purchased 106 vehicles total cost of 290 million 586 thousand 691 rubles. Of these, 90 are "Ford" cars and "Mercedes" in the amount of 230 million 113 thousand 312 rubles. All of them were purchased without competitive bidding through a dealer Ford - the company "New York Motors-Moscow". Similarly, information about the competition for the supply of spare parts, at cost of 60.5 million rubles was not found. This concern Daimler AG, which includes Mercedes-Benz, is accused by US authorities of paying bribes totaling € 2.87 million, allegedly paid for the contracts for the supply of cars to fleet FPS.
At Evgenii Murov Federal Protective Service has become a major participant of the construction business, doing, in addition to residential and business buildings, formalization of various approvals. Among the investment partners of the FPS, in particular, recorded the “Inteko “company, owned by the wife of Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, Elena Baturina. After the conflict with the structures of the former Senator Sergei Pugachev FPS received Moscow real estate complex in the Middle Trading Rows, which was claimed by the company of the businessman. According to the project, in the architectural monument "Middle Trading Rows" next to the Kremlin should appear class "luxury" hotel, residential apartments, the exchange of precious metals and diamonds, the auction house, boutiques and restaurants.
Next to walls of the Zachyat'evskiy Monastery can be easily found a house, where lives a General Director of the search engine "Yandex" Arkady Volozh: a lane is tiny even by local standards.
But the most eminent inhabitant of these places is a Head of Federal Protective Service Yevgeny Murov. If the house №11, where his wife bought a three-room apartment at 161.8 square meters more than three years ago, is also easy to find, then you will hardly find traces of these apartments in the official's declaration. You bet, they should cost fewer than 150 million. It was only possible to stumble references to other apartments; it is also rather big - 208 meters. How many of them does Murov have? Is turnout failed?
It's funny, but before the Murov's house on this site was historic mansion of his colleagues-enforcer Arkharov (from whose name comes the word "Arharovtsy"), the Chief of Police of Moscow. Despite the protests of architects, the house was demolished, leaving only part of the facade (and thanks for that).

The head of the Federal Protective Service (FPO) Evgenii Murov still leaves office. As a source in the Federal Protective Service told to "Izvestia" with confirmation from the sides, close to the presidential administration, Murov plans to move to work in the Federation Council. General Alexei Mironov, who is responsible in the structure for the Special Communication, will replace Murov as director of FPS.

In the near future one of the oldest gods will leave the Kremlin Olympus. The influential head of the FPS Evgenii Murov is preparing to go in a long treatment abroad for health reasons - most likely he will not return to his office. Some unofficial sources give another, more plausible explanation of what is happening: Evgenii Murov has a serious health problems, and currently a question of his treatment abroad is being discussed. Resignation in this case is a forced measure and is not caused by the desire of quietly retire. According to the most optimistic forecasts, treatment and subsequent rehabilitation will last for several months, and it is unknown whether Murov will recover sufficiently to return to work. ...
There is also a foreign policy aspect of the story: from 28 April Evgenii Murov is included in the sanctions list of the United States. As a result, leaving him to be treated in a small European country with a high level of development of medicine, glorious for its banks, watches and chocolate, is prepared in a special operation mode, actually. According to rumors Murov flied on the preliminary survey on the documents to another name. Now he has to go down for a longer period of time, and a "modest" pensioner can avoid too much attention much easier than the head of a powerful service. Most likely, Murov will simply write a statement with an open date, and official resignation will be announced when the issue about candidacy of the new Director of the FPS will be decided.
The loss of the apparatus influence can be a serious problem not so much for Evgenii Murov himself, as for related businesses. In particular, the director of the Federal Protective Service is called one of the beneficiaries of the holding company "Forum", which is officially owned by the former head of the FSUE "Rosmorport" Nikolai Negodov and businessman Dmitry Mihalchenko. It is believed that Mihalchenko - in fact is an external manager with a share in the business, in fact, acting as "obshchak"(thieves cash department) holder for a group of influential security officials. According to Forbes magazine, one of the biggest projects of the company is the construction of a new harbor near St. Petersburg, to which the federal budget allocated significant funds, not without the involvement of Evgenii Murov. The holding also includes the construction company "Baltstroy", conducted the restoration of the Grand Kremlin Palace and many other iconic objects, protected by the FPS. Actually, most of the "Forum" projects in one way or another depends on the support of various federal agencies, in case of leaving Murov that will be much harder to ensure this support. The irony is that influential (until recently) head of the FPS will soon be able to test the feelings of an ordinary pensioner, deprived of the pension savings to a certain extent.

FSUE "ATEKS", specializing in the performance of the functions of the general contractor during the construction and restoration work at federal facilities, in the near future should be withdrawn from the jurisdiction of Federal Protective Service of Russia and handed over to the Ministry of Economic Development. The true meaning of this reshuffle is to make less explicit relationship of Murovs father and son with businessman Dmitry Mihalchenko and a "Baltstroy" company, belonging to him, that regularly receives multimillion-dollar contracts from the Federal State Unitary Enterprise.

This year in March, during the ten-days mysterious "disappearance" of Vladimir Putin there was a rumor about a shootout, which was attended by Evgenii Murov. It was even said that Putin's internal policy ceased to arrange a number of security forces, and it was decided to reduce the impact of the FPS for the "better handling" of the president. Wherein, Murov allegedly received a bullet in the shoulder. If this version has at least some acknowledgment, it would be possible to talk about the next palace - if not revolution, then precisely the political turn.

The case of "rollbacks" in the procurement of vehicles for the Federal Protective Service and the Interior Ministry, which began with Nurgaliyev, so-so went to court with Kolokoltsev. The Court, however, is being in the mode of semi-secret, which is not surprising: both law enforcement agencies and representatives of Daimler AG tried to avoid unnecessary publicity, and let it down on the brakes, if not an international scandal, involving bribery of officials in the procurement of vehicles Mercedes-Benz.

I am so sorry. Please know that even leashed and collared, accidents still happen. At least the pain was over quickly for your sweet Bear. His last thoughts were probably happy ones. A chasing game with mom with my duck in my mouth.
When my Puppy was 6 months old, I was walking her on a busy street. Her prong collar chain came of as we were walking and she darted into a busy intersection with cars
Coming all ways. Luckily it was daylight, and traffic stopped both ways as I quickly chased her to the other side where a bunch of on lookers were able to help me fence her in. But before we crossed, she had paused when I called her RIGHT in front of an SUV. The woman inside was clueless and about to go and moved her wheels a little when I yelled NOOO as loud as I could. Luckily she did stop, and my puppy is okay. But it easily coudlve gone the other way, and she was leashed and collared to me.

A Voice of Concern Over Electronic Health Records
December 24, 2013 | Electronic health records (EHRs) hold great promise for 21st-century medical practice: reducing physician error, ensuring that patients' histories are retained and accessible, and helping care centers easily communicate as patients move between them. However, in a commentary that first appeared in Pulse and has now been given a wider audience through the Washington Post, a geriatrician reminds the public that while many of these benefits are still imperfectly realized, the barriers to seamless use of EHRs are front-and-center for many working physicians.

Type 1 diabetes can impact your sex life, so it should be part of your management plan. Diabetes can cause discomfort and affect intercourse. Being well informed can help you to anticipate challenges and implement solutions.
Sex and hypoglycemia
In case you haven’t noticed: sex is exercise! And this physical activity can sometimes be very intense. As with any exercise, the recommendations to follow are:
– Check your blood sugar levels (before, during and after) because it will allow you to get to know yourself better and be prepared for the next few times
– Listen to yourself – even if the beating heart and sweating mask some of the symptoms of hypoglycemia
– Have something to eat in case you need it: there’s nothing like a few candies or juice boxes in the drawer of the bedside table
Type 1 diabetes and erectile dysfunction
A man living with Type 1 diabetes may experience erectile dysfunction at certain times in his life. Hyperglycemia can cause nerve damage and reduce blood flow and thus cause erectile dysfunction and ejaculation disorders. Poorly controlled blood glucose levels can also disrupt the hormonal system and lower testosterone production, causing a drop in libido.
If you encounter such difficulties, do not hesitate to consult your doctor who can guide you if necessary towards one of the many existing therapeutic options (oral treatment, intracavernous injections…).
Treat vaginal dryness
Women with Type 1 diabetes may also experience symptoms that have an impact on their sex life, including reduced vaginal lubrication. Similarly, high blood sugar can affect blood vessels and nerves. This results in a decrease in the swelling of the vulva tissues and vaginal dryness, leading to pain during intercourse, a decrease in libido or difficulties in reaching orgasm.
The solutions to solve this problem: long-term glycemic control, lubricant to compensate for vaginal dryness or even perineal muscle building exercise. These can help to maintain or restore better lubrication.
Prevent fungal infections
Comfort and female pleasure can also be affected by the development of fungal infections. Indeed, excess sugar promotes the development of fungi (candida albicans) and bacteria, and an increased risk of infection.
Once again, good glycemic control is critical in treating a fungal infection and reducing the likelihood of it returning.
Fungal infections are usually treated with oral antifungal drugs and sometimes supplemented with local antifungal creams. Fungal infections are often not serious, but if you experience pain, burning, itching or unusual secretions, you should consult your doctor.
It is not always easy to talk about Type 1 diabetes and sex with your partner, especially at the beginning of a relationship. Additionally, medical devices (pumps, sensors, patches, etc.) can be difficult to deal with at first. Don’t forget that the best approach is dialogue. It is better to talk about it in the first place than to risk interruption by a loud alarm at a key moment, isn’t it?
Communication, understanding and mutual support contribute to a healthy sex life for all couples.

-- George Monbiot
I almost spilled a hot cup of coffee on my son's lap when I overheard the talk in the adjacent booth at Peet's. I think I actually soughed, "Ah!".
As George Monbiot points out in his March 2nd piece, "Extreme Measures: The Only Way to Bring Down Blair and Change the Political Context is to Take Direct Action", people taking to the streets "must be accompanied by polite campaigns of lobbying and letter-writing." However, he's crystal clear that nothing will happen "unless we get off our butts and make it happen." He addresses the need to take some risk, and as I read his words I found myself nodding in agreement, noting the parallels for us in the U.S.
It's not a stretch to contemplate direct action of the sort Monbiot advocates, but --with all of my experience at the barricades -- I still did a cranial double-take when I heard three men discussing arson in nearby Aptos...on behalf of the Haitian people! The loose lips that sink ships might have been emboldened by my wearing a headset; it wasn't turned on, unbeknownst to them. My little Marcel certainly didn't give them pause.
They didn't murmur long or provide a lot of details, but I was able to tune in to the thrust of what they were, supposedly, about to do. Burn something down? To put the "imperialists" on notice? I didn't catch exactly where they were planning to strike a match, and if John Ashcroft or that Head of Homeland Security who looks like a character out of Dick Tracy is reading this, please note that I didn't get a look at anyone. In fact, the only way I knew it was three people is that I heard three different voices. One could have been a talking dog from the Letterman show for all I know.
However, in all seriousness, the ravages of Jean Tatoune and Guy Philippe -- to name just two murderers we've supported up the kazoo -- I think it's a safe bet that there are elements in this country...citizens...with driver's licenses...with and without color...all across the demographic spectrum...that are about to explode. They've stopped taking bets in Britain with regard to whether or not there's life on Mars now that something's dipped into moisture up there, and it doesn't take a great leap to say it's a good bet that both frustrated activists and previously non-involved citizens may pick up the battering ram before long. As one tortured protester screamed recently, "Yesterday it was Iraq, today's it's Haiti, and tomorrow it'll be Venezuela!". Some people will wait only so long before they do something extreme.
Etymologically, extreme is the Latinate equivalent of the native English utmost. Voting -- please note the approximate 25% turnout in California's primary yesterday! -- and lobbying and letter-writing do not represent the highest, the greatest, or best of our abilities, powers and resources. The word comes via Old French from Latin "extremus" (meaning, for one, "furthest"). The underlying notion of "furthest outlying" still survives in the use of extremities for the "hands" or "feet."
In the outlying, excessive reaches of the angered minds of our citizenry, there's the potential for much that I hope we'll be able to avoid. Admittedly, it is a shred.
The three guys -- or mad dogs from Letterman's show as the case may be -- sitting on the Naugahyde surfaces behind me on March 2nd seem like they're all set to let their little feet -- or paws -- carry them to the furthest ends of activism in an effort to do their utmost...to stop our abominations. The question is what are you going to do?
Our Revolutionary War was advocated by only a third of the people living on these shores. Another third supported England, and about 33% didn't give a damn or didn't take a position one way or the other. Ditto for our Civil War, according to Howard Zinn. Today it wouldn't take more than a handful of Timothy McVeighs to weigh in with a whole slew of 9/11s overnight. And I'd say that today -- faced with the prospect of Bush or Kerry -- we'd better move as if we're in extremis in some fashion.
Monbiot made his plea for people to move in solidarity nationwide overseas. With the prospect of variations on the proposal laid out Tuesday in Peet's peaking over the horizon, I'd say America doesn't have much time. Remember, this is the land of rugged individualism.
Around the time "Burn, baby, burn!" was a household phrase in America, Joan Mellen wrote a brilliant review of Gillo Pontecorvo's "Burn!" (director of "The Battle of Algiers") for "Cinema" magazine (Issue 32, Winter 1972-73). In it she rightly points out that the film should have been titled "Burnt!" as the destruction wrought falls on the exploited and their land, not on the imperialist forces, as suggested by the title. English has two separate words burn, one transitive, the other intransitive. Both apply here as the country begins to boil over. Fire and brimstone? I'm afraid fervent patriotism is taking on a new twist, and that segments of our singed population will not allow it to go on, burning out of control.

The Mount Lowe Railway was created as a scenic tourist line to bring visitors to see Mount Lowe and Echo Mountain. The railway opened in 1893 and stopped services in 1938. Interestingly, the railway was the only scenic mountain electric traction (overhead electric trolley) railroad in the country. Another of its features was the remarkable incline up Rubio Canyon to the Echo Mountain House, and a circular bridge that was as an engineering landmark in itself.
Today the Mount Lowe Railway Trail offers access to the ruins at Echo Mountain and the Alpine Tavern (Mt. Lowe Camp), once frequented by LA tourists and subsequently destroyed by flooding and fire. Along the trial you'll find historical markers that relate the story of the rail line. The trail is quite sinuous as snakes through the Angeles National Forest, offing superb views of the mountain, canyons and surrounding pine forests.
There is no easy way to get to the Mount Lowe railway Trail. The easiest is to follow the paved access road up to the rail-trail near its Echo Mountain end point.
To reach the access road and trailhead from Interstate 210 in Pasadena, take the Lake Avenue exit. Head north on Lake Avenue for 3.7 miles to Loma Alta Drive, which is at the base of the steep massif. Turn left (west) on Loma Alta Drive and go for 1.1 miles to Chaney Trail; a flashing yellow light marks the road. Turn right (north) on Chaney Trail and follow this for 1.4 miles, passing a display about the Forest Adventure Pass, to a gate. If the gate is open, you can proceed for another 1.1 miles to a saddle where you will find another gate and the beginning of the paved access road. There is limited roadside parking.
It's a tough hike but not crazy. At the summit you're rewarded with ruins to explore. Continue on to Inspiration Point for more great views and exploring opportunities.
I have a full Echo Mountain hike turn-by-turn guide on my blog here:
"I walked Mt. Lowe Rail Trail from the first gate up to the old Alpine lodge, where the track bed ends. The walk is steep and grand. The views of Pasadena and the surrounding area were super. I planned while at home in Matyland to devote a day to this, while visiting the LA area. I'm glad I did."
"The easiest way is to drive up to Mt. Wilson, park at the Eton Saddle trailhead and ride down. You need a car shuttle or face a long ride uphill. This ride has side trips to Inspiration Point and the Mt. Lowe Trail Camp."

Is it time to buy back the Greenback? This USD/JPY setup certainly suggests so!
USD/JPY has just tested (and is now above) the 104.00 major psychological handle. I like this support area not only because it has been an inflection point since December but also because it’s near a 38.2% Fib and a mid-channel support on the 1-hour chart.
Fundamentally I think that the dollar bulls still have weapons in their arsenal. Despite the weak NFP report the Fed is still looking to taper its QE and the BOJ hasn’t veered from their plans to stimulate its economy.
I”ll be taking a chill pill with this setup though. My SMAs aren’t supporting an upward move and there might be a falling trend line since the start of the month. I think I’ll wait for a couple more candlesticks instead of entering at market or setting an order. Got any tips on entry and exit points?

BMC on the private equity block
$US6.5bn sale expected this week
“Please don't call us a middleware company” BMC is reportedly close to being acquired in a $US6.5bn deal arranged by Bain Capital and Golden Gate Capital Corp.
Financial press have tracked the deal for almost a month, but things now seem to be getting close to the moment at which prestigious pens reach paper, as Reuters roused itself over the weekend to report “people familiar with the matter” say the company will sell itself for $46 a share.
BMC's product portfolio includes middelware, but the company has of late been more interesting in talking about its BYOD-and-mobility-enabler MyIT or its IT Service Management (ITSM) wares, leaving its help desk and other products in the background.
The company brought $2.2bn through the door during its four most-recently reported quarters and announces its quarterly results on Monday May 6th. Profits are on the agenda: past results showed a net and operating margin of 18 and 25 per cent respectively.
At $46 a share, the private equiteers won't be paying a premium for the company, which trades at $45.42 at the time of writing after recently descending into the high $43 range. The closeness of the reported offer price and current trading price suggests markets have already factored in the purchase.
Private equity companies have been known to break their prey into small pieces and sell them off for an overall profit. Might BMC suffer that fate? Many of its products started life as standalone businesses and the company is not alone in finding it hard to tell a story about how and why they play well as a suite. Acquisitive types like IBM and Oracle already have products to match BMC, or passed on the chance to acquire the bits BMC bought.
Perhaps the equiteers simply feel BMC will do better once freed from the mucky business of being a public company?
We'll know soon enough: if negotiations are going on over the weekend it's usually a sign a deal is close. ® | <urn:uuid:1d51322f-2eb5-480d-806e-c5897eed0d10> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.theregister.co.uk/Print/2013/05/06/bmc_buyout/ | 2014-03-12T18:11:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394023864525/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305125104-00089-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962129 | 469 |

Update: Just got a few pictures sent to me of the booth at Calgary Comicon. Radness.
My dear friend Joy Ang invited me to participate in "The Anthology Project" with a ridiculously talented bunch of folks from around the way.
If you're in Alberta for the upcoming Calgary Comicon this weekend (April 25-26) you can see the debut of the project, meet a few of the artists and check out the prints they have on sale at booth #509. The book is slated for release early 2010!

Trashed: Black Sabbath reunion just 'speculation'
Tony Iommi: 'I was merely shooting the breeze'
As revealed yesterday (Tuesday), the guitarist told the
Birmingham Mail that the original band line-up of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward had already begun
rehearsing for a tour and new album.
He was quoted as saying: “We’re really looking forward to it and I think the stuff we’ve been writing is really good, it’s more back to the old original stuff.”
Now, these reports have been refuted by Iommi, who has written that he was “merely speculating, shooting the breeze”.
A statement on the guitarist’s website reads: “I'm saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Black Sabbath reunion.
“At the time I was supporting the Home of Metal exhibition and was merely speculating, shooting the breeze, on something all of us get asked constantly, "Are you getting back together?"
“Thanks to the internet it's gone round the world as some sort of "official" statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he's enjoyed his moment of glory, he won't have another at my expense.
“To my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better.
“All the best, Tony”.
Black Sabbath was one of the bands mentioned by Sonisphere 2012 organiser Stuart Galbraith when asked about possible line-up targets for next summer.
Having said that Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers were "two in a long list we're talking to," and confirming that no-one was yet pencilled in, he stressed that “making the event as broad as we can” was the priority.
"We could have Green Day or Blink 182. We could equally have Rammstein, Black Sabbath, Metallica or Iron Maiden. But there's no point us booking [for example] Metallica, Rammstein and Slayer, and equally no point booking Blink , Green Day and My Chemical Romance. We need a balance across the weekend."

Full of wispy smoke and kissed by the sun, the Iekeliene Stange Flair editorial is at once gritty and romantic. A short but sweet photoshoot, the images are nonetheless arresting. Shot indoors and out, the editorial focuses as much on the fashion as it does on the artistic captures.
Shot by photographer Emma Tempest, the Iekeliene Stange Flair editorial appears in the magazine's April 2012 issue. A versatile photographer, Tempest brings her penchant for seductive and cinematic captures to this particular photoshoot set. Exhibiting her skill with lighting and color, the Iekeliene Stange Flair editorial has a fanatstical element that nevertheless does not compromise the reality of the situation.
The looks in the Iekeliene Stange Flair editorial were perfected with tousled locks by hairstylist Maarit Niemela and a flawless face by makeup artist Mel Arter.

Ammon Covino, the co-owner of the Portland Aquarium who in February was charged with illegally harvesting marine species from Florida waters, has plead not guilty at his arraignment in a federal court in Florida. Covino, who co-owns the Portland Aquarium and is president of the Idaho Aquarium, was arrested in Boise with his partner Christopher Conk for allegedly purchasing protected wildlife that came from Florida, and if convicted, each faces up to 20 years in prison and $1 million in fines, according to KTVB.com.
The duo apparently contracted with a seller of spotted eagle rays (Aetobatus narinari), which is on the IUCN Red List as a near threatened species and lemon sharks (Negaprion brevirostris), and received shipments of these animals at the aquarium. According to OregonLive, Covino posted $100,000 bond but was then sent back into custody after prosecutors alleged that he had tried to contact the business, through his nephew, to destroy documents that were pertinent to the case. Covino and his business partner Conk have been charged with a single count of conspiracy and three counts of illegal purchase of wildlife, the paper reported. Both Covino and Conk could face five years in prison and fined up to $250,000 for each count if convicted.

A little psychology goes a long way in social media posts. Here’s a look at some tips and tricks from the world of psychology that can help social media managers engage more with their audiences.
If you think the success of certain brands on social media is pure chance, think again. Our favorite brands have been honing their techniques ever since social media began. In fact, the psychological social media tricks that they use can make us feel bonded to their brand, compelled to share, or driven to purchase. Ultimately, psychological marketing or marketing psychology is now the cornerstone of any successful company.
So how do they do it? Should they be doing it? And what can we learn? At my agency Contentworks, we’ve been gleaning some insider knowledge on the subject.
Here are the psychological social media “tips” you need to know.
1. Use Authority
“Authority” refers to the theory that consumers trust people in charge. Using authority in social media posts creates an illusion of being an expert, leader, or the only credible source of information. You may notice this a lot in ads for beauty, skincare, or pharmaceutical products.
Glossier leverages Authority to boost the perception of its expertise. “Pro Tip” infers that this is an eyeliner that professional makeup artists use. The tone is friendly but authoritative and includes scientific terms like “ophthalmologist tested” and “hypoallergenic.”
Glossier also assumes a level of authority by solving common beauty problems over on its Instagram channel. Notice the “gather round” comment. It’s almost like a teacher explaining something fun to her kindergarten class.
How to establish authority
- Use terms like pro tip, expert advice, or ask the experts.
- Write the titles of any team members shown (e.g., Mary Smith, Head of Consumer Research, Ph.D.).
- Show your team in uniform.
- Back up any claims with facts, stats, or sources.
- Answer audience questions around your product or subject.
2. Utilize Color Psychology
Nearly 85% of people choose a product based on its color. Also, we know that colors trigger psychological responses. But did you know that brands use this to their advantage on social media?
Here’s how colors affect our psychology or influence our perception of a product or brand.
- Red–Anger, urgency, passion, energy, romance
- Purple–Intellectual, regal, luxurious
- Yellow–Joy, happiness, peace
- Blue–Trustworthiness, approachable, soothing
- Green–Freshness, environment, money, start
- White–Cleanliness, emptiness, purity, simplicity, innocence
Color can play an important role in conveying information, creating certain moods, and influencing the decisions people make.
80% of consumers think color increases brand recognition. McDonald’s is a brand that has associated itself with happiness from day 1. The cheery yellow M logo. The happy meal and kids’ toys, and the onsite playgrounds at each restaurant are there for that exact purpose. Look at its Instagram post below … You can see a childlike image with bright cheery yellow and an invitation to tag a friend and take the friendship test. I would say this is right on the money for its target audience.
Similarly, check out their video “The story of 35-year-old child Sunil” and you will see that its branding is all about evoking feelings of happiness, childhood, and playtime. Sunil says, “I’m collecting memories.”
But see how the colors change when McDonald’s wants to create urgency below. The fiery colors and urgency implore social media fans to take action.
And then we switch to green to show environmentally friendly, fresh and natural.
How to use color psychology
- Think about background colors when you take photographs for social media.
- Ads in color are read over 40% more than those in black and white.
- Choose your CTA button colors. Black, white, and brown are the worst colors; orange, red, and green work best. Even if your CTA on social media is not clickable, it’s still a good idea to highlight the key CTA messages in the right color.
- Photography can also be used to stop social media scrollers in their tracks. Just look at the isolation effect post below. By putting your product in the middle with plenty of space around it, you are drawing the eye. Remember, purple symbolizes luxury and royalty.
- Use seasonal colors to fit the mood of your social media users. For example, check out Starbucks in Autumn. The orange background, nail polish, and topping are not accidental. They make us feel cozy, warm, and in need of a pumpkin spice latte.
Use FOMO (fear of missing out) wisely. FOMO is an immensely powerful social media marketing technique. It goes a bit like this:
- Choose a fear angle.
- Put out an “everyone’s doing it” message.
- Outline the reasons why.
- Create urgency and provide access.
But using fear can be a negative thing, depending on your audience. More and more Millennial-aged consumers are feeling real FOMO anxiety. It’s also questionable to use FOMO techniques for products like credit cards. Use FOMO responsibly.
3. Understand the Power of Social Proof
Social proof is not a new concept, marketers have been using it for years. Social proof is exactly what it sounds like. And it’s clever because it looks as though you’re not really selling. You’re simply showing people that their friends love this product. Or that thousands of people left positive reviews or made a purchase.
According to Robert Cialdini author of The Psychology of Persuasion: “We view a behavior as more correct in a given situation to the degree that we see others performing it.” So often in situations where we are uncertain about what to do, we look to friends, experts, celebrities, or people in power positions.
Brands on Instagram frequently employ social proof via paid comments and reviews. They are fairly easy to spot because they follow a certain pattern. Hundreds of users asking about the product, how they can order more, praising its effectiveness, and recommending it to others. The brand then swoops in and helpfully answers all those questions. Social media managers know that this just doesn’t happen naturally. Especially for unknown brands.
Social proof is also our favorite influencers or celebrities telling us that a product is great and we should buy it. Though Facebook and Instagram have requested more transparency for paid promotions, this is still very much a thing.
How to use social proof
No, I’m not going to tell you how to buy comments or hire Kim. Let’s look at some ways to create social proof in an authentic way.
- Ask your loyal customers to leave positive reviews for you on social media. This is one of the purest forms of social proof. A total of 90% of readers claim that positive online reviews influence buying decisions. You can also share customer reviews in your ads for some amplified social proof:
- Facebook’s algorithm shares check-ins and comments with friends. If you have a physical business, incentivize visitors to check in to amplify your brand visibility.
- Ask your social media fans to share photos of themselves using your product and tag you. Starbucks does this well. The resulting user-curated images make for great social proof. There is also a micro-influencer element at play here.
Did you know …
Reciprocity is the psychological hack used by top social media marketers. Psychologist Robert Cialdini, found that when we are given a gift, we feel a strong urge to return the favor. In one study, researchers discovered:
When customers received a small piece of chocolate with their bill, they paid a 3% tip. If the server delivered a treat and made eye contact, their tip went up by as much as 20%.
4. Write Persuasive Content
If you wanted someone to do something for you in real life, you would use persuasive, direct, and personable words. You might say, “Jane, can I ask a huge favor of you” or “Adam, could you please help me with something.”
Why then would you use cold and distant language on social media and still expect your audience to do something in return? Social media content should be persuasive but representative of your brand. If your brand voice is playful, your content should be, too.
Burger King, temporarily renamed Stranger King in line with the Netflix popular series Stranger Things, put out this awesome tweet.
How to write persuasive content
- Make sure you include the most critical information at the start of your caption. The first few words your audience sees should be compelling and relevant. If they aren’t hooked from the start, you’ll miss out on engagement.
- Speak to your audience directly using “you” “you’ve” and “we” to create a bond.
- Employ exciting FOMO words, phrases, and countdowns to make your audience take action.
- Use hypnotic words like “Imagine,” “Believe” or “Because” that have been found to stimulate the subconscious mind and bypass the consumer’s critical thought process.
- Include a CTA if it’s relevant. This might be a link or information about where to get the product.
- Highlight details or benefits that might not be visible from the photo.
- Ask questions but remember that open-ended questions get more engagement than “yes” or “no” questions. You can also run a Facebook GIF poll with set answers like ASOS.
Did you know …
Social media posts that include faces see a 38% increase in likes on Instagram than face-free snapshots. Research proves we can’t help but be captivated by the human gaze and this began in childhood. Psychologist Robert Frantz discovered during one study that infants looked at images with human faces for twice as long.
5. Be Everywhere (Frequency Illusion)
The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, also known as the frequency illusion or frequency bias is the feeling that after you see something for the first time, you start seeing it everywhere. It’s a bit like when you want to buy a certain car, and then you start seeing that car everywhere you look. Of course, in marketing, this isn’t always accidental.
Trip Advisor is one of the most aggressive at retargeting. In fact, TripAdvisor recently launched TripAdvisor Connect. This allows ads to appear as co-branded content posts with TripAdvisor’s logo and company name and the “Paid Partnership” language at the top of the ad:
How to convey the frequency illusion
- Consistent branding across all your channels will create the frequency illusion. This will make your brand appear bigger and more established.
- Remarketing is a great way to utilize the frequency illusion. A potential customer has visited your website and suddenly you’re everywhere. While retail remains at the top of the verticals that use retargeting at 27%, other industries are increasing the incorporation of this strategy. A retargeted ad is 10 times more likely to be clicked. Familiarity is probably the main reason
- Team up with local businesses or influencers to amplify your reach.
- Use familiar language. We’ve been here before after all …
Did you know …
Do many brands employ the decoy effect on social media? The Decoy Effect usually presents a decoy option that’s more expensive, pushing social media users to choose an alternate presented choice. It also encourages shoppers to believe they saved money. You may notice this in carousel ads on Facebook.
Social media psychology is constantly at play among big brands. If you’re running your own social media channels then you may want to experiment with some of the techniques I mentioned.

The anti-malarial drug artemisinin and its relatives are being promoted by the choice-medicine Neighborhood for most cancers generally speaking. There is some curiosity in their attainable anti-most cancers Houses, and a few good papers, mainly concentrating on which designs of gene expression predict the drug will kill cells in tissue tradition (Pharmacogenetics Journal six: 269, 2006). They are effectively-identified To do that, simply because they are poisons, and The truth that they kill most cancers cells (J. Med. Chem. forty nine: 2731, 2006, within the Hop) need to appear as no surprise. Especially, they may have action as angiogenesis blockers.

His center on the results of non-ionizing fields on human beings appears to have led him into fringe medication, and he has long been writing papers about artemisinin as an anti-most cancers agent because 1995. He notes that breast most cancers cells reportedly (several outdated papers in obscure journals) tend to possess additional surface transferrin (iron-binder) than their benign counterparts. So artemisinin (which generates toxic totally free radicals when subjected to iron) could induce apoptosis selectively in breast cancer. He managed to display this impact in a culture of breast most cancers cells awash in iron-binder (Lifestyle Sciences 70: 49, 2001). Artemisinin alone was a dismal failure.
Whether you believe in this sort of factor in theory(most immunotherapies for cancer have already been overall failures), you need to know what exactly is and isn't regarded concerning this fungus before you decide to commit some huge cash or hope.

Sydneysider Emily Sayers has dazzled social media with her unique putt-putt challenges, flexing her skills in a series of videos on Instagram.
Sayers, who relocated to London five years ago, has been under strict lockdown since March and sought to 'upskill' during her down time.
"Everything was miserable at the start of lockdown here, so I thought I'd do something I love and share it for a laugh," she tells 9Honey.
"I got into a routine straight away, and knew I needed to encompass some part of my pre-isolation life for a bit of normality."
The avid golfer, who's been playing since she was eight years old, started to 'chip' balls into the various pot plants around her flat.
Posting her work online, Sayers was flooded with messages from followers telling her she was "brightening their day"
"I was improving my chipping and entertaining people - it was a win-win really."
Sayers' self-isolation pastime quickly descended into a quarantine quest.
The series of 'chipping' clips showcases Sayers' golfing finesse, including shots over stacks of beer cans, a hole-in-one into a pot roast, and even a fateful shot into a cup placed on top of a record spinning the Bee Gee's 'Stayin' Alive'.
"I started to dress up, incorporate more challenges, get creative with my shots. I thought, 'Now's the time to have fun with this'," she laughs.
Garnering over 40,000 views on her videos since posting in mid-March, the investment banker admits that while the finished product depicted her golfing success, in reality the clips sometimes took hours to capture.
"I remember I was trying to hit a lime into a Corona bottle, but after five hours I gave up and just drank the beer," she laughs.
Noting her record time as half an hour to complete a single successful shot, Sayers maintains the "bloopers are sometimes better than the shot."
"I wouldn't feel the satisfaction I get when I nail a shot after hours though if they happened that quickly."
Sayers adds that the videos have "100 per cent helped my family cope with the fact that we're apart."
"I do it for my family and friends to keep them happy and to know that in all of this, we can still make time for a little bit of joy - that's what it's all about," she adds.
While Sayers' mum reportedly loves her lunch break routine, her boss had an unexpected response to the videos.
"My boss asked me what I'd been doing all day, so I decided to just show him one of my first compilations," she says.
"He loved it, said it was brilliant and even sent me inspiration."
When isolation ends, Sayers wants to get back on the green and test her new skills.
"I've definitely improved," she says, adding, "but it's how you actually go on the golf course that will show me just how much."
After more than two months in isolation, Sayers maintains that "just being able to have the freedom to go and enjoy the simple things that have been taken away" is what she's most looking forward to. | <urn:uuid:1800c7c7-9d80-4b0b-871b-5e4272676b0f> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://honey.nine.com.au/latest/coronavirus-womans-quarantine-golf-routine-dazzles-social-media/ed30fb99-6a91-4b28-b573-73ebe83f7fbb | 2021-12-08T18:54:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363520.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208175210-20211208205210-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.982367 | 691 |
Pregnant Kate Middleton Reacts to Kate Middleton Doll in Priceless Photo
Being famous means you get bragging rights when toy companies turn you into an action figure or Barbie doll. But Kate Middleton and Prince William’s child probably won’t be getting the Princess Catherine doll next Christmas, because her plastic namesake totally freaked the Duchess out.
While greeting a crowd in Scotland on April 5, Kate saw Dayna Miller’s Kate doll and her reaction was pretty funny — if not a little grossed out. “No! Oh no, is that me? Is that meant to be me?” Kate asked.
While an excited Dayna, 11, didn’t hesitate to tell Kate that she had received the doll for Christmas, we think it’s hilarious that all the Duchess could think about was how bad the doll’s hair was. Princesses, they’re just like us!
“Does my hair really look like that?!” she said. Dayna told Kate, “Her hair was not nearly so big and she laughed and seemed happy.”
To be honest, we’ve seen so much worse than the puffed up hairdo the doll makers gave Kate, and we think the doll kinda looks a bit like her — although we’ve never seen Kate have crazy eyes like that!
Another issue, as Dayna pointed out, is the royal jewelry. “Your engagement ring is on the wrong finger and is pink not blue,” she told Kate. Wow! Good eye, Dayna — talk about attention to detail!
Dayna was very impressed with the Duchess. “I can’t believe how nice she was though,” she adds. “She was just lovely. This has been the best day ever.”

47 U.S.C. § 230, a Provision of the Communication Decency Act
Tucked inside the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996 is one of the most valuable tools for protecting freedom of expression and innovation on the Internet: Section 230.
This comes somewhat as a surprise, since the original purpose of the legislation was to restrict free speech on the Internet. The Internet community as a whole objected strongly to the Communications Decency Act, and with EFF's help, the anti-free speech provisions were struck down by the Supreme Court. But thankfully, CDA 230 remains and in the years since has far outshone the rest of the law.
Section 230 says that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" (47 U.S.C. § 230). In other words, online intermediaries that host or republish speech are protected against a range of laws that might otherwise be used to hold them legally responsible for what others say and do. The protected intermediaries include not only regular Internet Service Providers (ISPs), but also a range of "interactive computer service providers," including basically any online service that publishes third-party content. Though there are important exceptions for certain criminal and intellectual property-based claims, CDA 230 creates a broad protection that has allowed innovation and free speech online to flourish.
This legal and policy framework has allowed for YouTube and Vimeo users to upload their own videos, Amazon and Yelp to offer countless user reviews, craigslist to host classified ads, and Facebook and Twitter to offer social networking to hundreds of millions of Internet users. Given the sheer size of user-generated websites (for example, Facebook alone has more than 1 billion users, and YouTube users upload 100 hours of video every minute), it would be infeasible for online intermediaries to prevent objectionable content from cropping up on their site. Rather than face potential liability for their users' actions, most would likely not host any user content at all or would need to protect themselves by being actively engaged in censoring what we say, what we see, and what we do online. In short, CDA 230 is perhaps the most influential law to protect the kind of innovation that has allowed the Internet to thrive since 1996.
CDA 230 also offers its legal shield to bloggers who act as intermediaries by hosting comments on their blogs. Under the law, bloggers are not liable for comments left by readers, the work of guest bloggers, tips sent via email, or information received through RSS feeds. This legal protection can still hold even if a blogger is aware of the objectionable content or makes editorial judgments.
The legal protections provided by CDA 230 are unique to U.S. law; European nations, Canada, Japan, and the vast majority of other countries do not have similar statutes on the books. While these countries have high levels of Internet access, most prominent online services are based in the United States. This is in part because CDA 230 makes the U.S. a safe haven for websites that want to provide a platform for controversial or political speech and a legal environment favorable to free expression.
EFF works to ensure strong legal protections for Internet intermediaries and endeavors to fight threats that would weaken such protections for intermediaries and users. We realize that a combination of technology policy and law protecting intermediaries ultimately helps uphold freedom of speech online.
NOTE: This summary of CDA 230 isn't a substitute for, nor does it constitute, legal advice. Only an attorney who knows the details of your particular situation can provide the kind of advice you need if you're being threatened with a lawsuit. The goal of these pages is to give you a basic roadmap to the legal issues surrounding the interactive computer services covered by CDA 230. | <urn:uuid:3d2688fc-cbed-477a-9c84-c3199689656b> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.eff.org/fr/issues/cda230?page=5 | 2018-09-22T05:15:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267158045.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20180922044853-20180922065253-00490.warc.gz | en | 0.946772 | 778 |
Women of the Wall blew a shofar at the back of the Western Wall Plaza and raised a Torah scroll at the plaza’s gate as they completed their service under a heavy police barricade.
Police wouldn’t let them bring a Torah scroll into the service, but before entering the plaza, the group sang as one woman held a scroll at the plaza’s gate.
One small step for woman holding scroll. No discernable big step for anybody.
Police acted on the side of caution, because, as they had done a month ago, thousands of seminary girls packed the plaza by the Wall and prayed quietly during Wednesday morning’s service.
None of the young women blew a shofar or pass the Torah around, but they did say Hallel, and Mussaf, quietly.
So police decided to barricade the 300 or so Women of the Wall and their male supporters at the back of the plaza, far away from the Wall, behind a heavy police barricade, a 15-foot buffer zone and two lines of police, according to the JTA report.
A WOW statement complained that they were “corralled into a small pen in the Western Wall Plaza, 150 meters from the Kotel. This, despite requests of Women of the Wall and MK Aliza Lavie, chair of the Knesset Committee on the Status of Women (Lavie in a letter to Minister of Internal Security Aharonowitz), to allow women to pray freely, according to their tradition at the holy site.”
Meanwhile, over at the men’s section, Haredim blew whistles and chanted insults. One Haredi guy chanted psalms into a megaphone, disrupting the WOW service.
The WOW statement accused Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, appointed administrator of the Western Wall and holy places, of leading prayers and addressing worshipers over this loudspeaker while the WOW attempted to pray together.
“The sound system is for public use,” they wrote, “and yet never in 25 years has it been used on Rosh Chodesh, until last month. Rabinowitz chose to use his status to take a biased and discriminatory stance: to drown out women’s prayer in favor of his own.”
In other words, a kind of Mutually Assured Disturbance was observed by both sides.
Women of the Wall chair Anat Hoffman said, “We will not forget that the Torah is exiled from the Western Wall, due to the discriminatory misuse of power by Rabbi Rabinowitz. Israel is the only democracy in the world that by law prohibits women from reading Torah. Unfortunately, the only people who felt at home today at the Kotel were the ultra-Orthodox worshippers and the police and Rabinowitz collaborated towards this end.”
Except, whenever this reporter asks the WOW to comment on the similarities between their case and the exile of Jews from setting foot freely, much less praying, on the Temple Mount, they clam up and declare those are totally different things. Freedom is freedom is freedom, unless you are a religious hypocrite, with whom this country has been richly blessed.
JTA noted that over the two Rosh Chodesh days, last month and today, a new status quo has developed at the Wall during the Women of the Wall attempted service: Orthodox girls arrive en masse and pray quietly next to the Wall, Police place Women of the Wall under a heavy barricade, and protesters try to interrupt them.
Two months ago, the protesters were “raucous and violent,” meaning they threw chairs at the WOW, this time things were relatively civil. And by the time WOW leader Hoffman blew the shofar, most of the protesters had already dispersed.
“More than ten women blew shofar together at the Kotel, as is traditional in the Jewish month of Elul preceding the high holy days,” reads the WOW statement. “The sounding of the ram’s horn symbolizes Women of the Wall’s perseverance and determination to see justice for women at the Western Wall, in Israel and around the World.”
Not so much justice as a little bit of civility. You don’t want to be drowned out by megaphones, please don’t do stuff that upsets folks who have been davening here since 1967. It appears the WOW are learning a hard lesson of what happens when you really awaken a Haredi lion from his/her slumber. It’s been known to bite.
Let’s hope nobody forgot to say Ya’aleh V’yavo – which you can always say later, during benching.

She is also a philanthropist who supports artists but also many social causes (AIDS, Fondation Abbé Pierre, Tara…). Over the years, Agnès b. has assembled a major contemporary art collection now comprising nearly 5,000 pieces (Jean-Michel Basquiat, Warhol, Gilbert and George, Nan Goldin, Harmony Korine, Ryan McGinley…).

With a bottle-feeded generation with mainstream culture, bombarded with clips, ads, magazines and blockbusters, the artist Eric Yahnker rushes into the breach without a net and without complex. Ace of the pencil, he draws 2 meters high lampoons that jeopardizes religion, politics, icons and symbols of today’s America with a stunning realism. Provocateur (or genuine) and without restraint, he was animator for the South Park movie after graduating from Cal Arts and has done the animation for the Seinfeld DVDs bonus. Trained in a school of journalism, he worships cartoonists like Paul Conrad, Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning, but also cites Woody Allen and Mel Brooks as references. His works offer a double reading, from the simple visual impact of its giant drawings to their meaning and look on American society. Whatever our perception as long as we see his works as he defines himself “political, stubborn, absurd, sarcastic, cerebral, perverted, jack-ass with a heart of golden testicles.”
Damian Elwes is a British painter born in 1960 who lives in L.A. From a family of famous portrait painters, his grandfather being Queen Elizabeth’s favourite, he studied in Harvard because he was good at maths but learned playwriting. In the early 1980s, Elwes moved to New York, where he met Keith Haring who encouraged him to start painting, and became an early exponent of graffiti. From 1992–2000, Damian Elwes lived in southern Colombia in a house that he built overlooking a rainforest. There he created four vast, interactive paintings which viewers can walk around inside. His work now focuses on re-creating the studios of famous artists (Picasso, Matisse, Yayoi Kusama, Alex Katz, Keith Haring, Basquiat) through his deep research in documentation and historical records. | <urn:uuid:b1ad02d9-3f1a-4f47-a416-61946ddc6105> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://ourchoices.co/tag/creation-under-covid/ | 2022-05-21T12:52:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662539101.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220521112022-20220521142022-00621.warc.gz | en | 0.957189 | 772 |
For some time now, Indie Rock players within a broad genre range have explored the acoustic Folk side project to somehow prove their diversity, depth and authenticity. Good Old War doesn’t really fit that construct; guitarist/vocalist Keith Goodwin and drummer/vocalist Tim Arnold decided against revisiting their Prog/Pop direction when their previous group Days Away collapsed. Instead, the duo crafted a contemporary Folk/Pop sound and with the addition of Unlikely Cowboy guitarist/vocalist Dan Schwartz, the trio Good Old War was born. (The band’s name comes from the players’ surnames; it’s a word puzzle, so figure it out).
GOW’s 2008 debut, Only Way to Be Alone, enjoyed more than a little acclaim, but the band’s eponymous sophomore album, released this past summer, might not only be the better of the two but could find plenty of support in the coming weeks as critics compile their end-of-year lists.
The second Good Old War album begins with “GOOD,” a lilting little instrumental that sounds like an Americana version of Juluka, and starts a sequence that punctuates the album (“OLD” follows a few tracks later and “WAR” closes the set).
Unlike so many bands who wear their Folk/Americana detours like momentary fashion, Good Old War are more interested in finding the places where their old roots intersect with their new direction, and that’s where the band’s sound becomes compelling and fun. And while it’s not necessarily a completely original concept, Good Old War does an amazing job of creating a fresh take on the idea with brilliantly crisp musicianship and heavenly vocal harmonies.
Mining nuggets from Pop/Rock’s richest veins — everything from The Beatles (“While I’m Away”) to Paul Simon (“That’s Some Dream”) to Roger McGuinn (“My Own Sinking Ship”) — and then using that raw ore to produce a gorgeous and unique new mineral, Good Old War has managed the rare feat of sounding classic and contemporary, simultaneously.

I've checked-out out the source as user anonymous - that way we can all
do a cvs update when required, however all mods will have to be done in
personal copies of the tree (which is not a bad thing of course).
First problem... Getting this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined
function: clearvariables() in
Not sure why - I can't grep that function in Alexey's beta test
directory, and the apache config is essentially the same as
www.alexey.beta.postgresql.org. Anyone got any ideas?

If we hadn't heard Josh's American-accented Hebrew we might not have noticed Urbun.
Now close your eyes, click your heels together three times and repeat after me: “There’s no place like Fireside. There’s no place like Fireside.”
Fuego’s very extensive menu is heaven for meat lovers, with an eclectic mix that will satisfy both those who like their eats straightforward and simple as well as those whose palate runs more to the trendy side.
Forget the niceties, this is a place where the barbeque sauce runs down your arms while you nibble on chicken wings,
I won’t lie to you – we knocked off the entire bread basket because the butter was so incredible that we just couldn’t stop eating it.
In the few short months since its opening, Pescada has made a name for itself and the restaurant was full, with a nice mix of people on the Monday night that we were there.
A graduate of Rhode Island’s Johnson & Wales College of Culinary Arts, the very personable Massin came to NoBo with both a solid education and years of experience at Mike’s Bistro and The Prime Grill.
One of the best perks of writing about restaurants is that we often have the opportunity to taste a broad sampling of menu items and the chef at Brasserie Halevi kept up a steady stream of food to our table.
Until that point, everything we had eaten at Butterfish had excelled in its simplicity, but our desserts offered a much greater level of complexity and both were truly outstanding.
While we all go to restaurants for a good meal, it is dessert, that final taste that lingers in your mouth, that is the crown jewel of any dining experience and Six Thirteen’s offerings did not disappoint.
The lemonana was something else. Never had we seen a green drink look so enticing.
The chicken and waffle nuggets were fabulous and were like chicken in a dessert form.
Both mains were clearly prepared with an expert hand and could only be described as heavenly.
Accustomed as we all are to eating steak whenever we dine in an upscale restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised when our main dish showed up and it turned out to be not beef, but fish.
Deciding on your order is no small task at The Purple Pear. The menu is a whopping eight pages long and as if that wasn’t long enough, there is an additional three-page sushi menu.
Curious as to whether Sophie’s Bistro is able to host events like a sheva berachot or a pidyon haben, I asked about party rooms. Amar answered with a broad smile and a display of Sophie’s party room, which is at once spacious and intimately elegant.
The name La Brochette is a nod to Cohen’s Middle Eastern roots, alluding to a shish kabob skewer, but the restaurant is first and foremost a French steakhouse, albeit one with a dazzling sushi menu.
Whether you are a repeat customer or a first time visitor, from the moment you enter Orchidea you are treated like family. Only better.
With a menu as enticing as Reserve Cut's we left the difficult dilemma of what to eat to our personable and efficient waiter, Csaba.
This is messy food, the kind of meal where you ditch the silverware and use your hands and with an array of fabulous sauces on the menu, I have no doubt that Gotham Burger goes through a lot of napkins. From the moment we started, till the very last crumb had either been eaten or packed up to take home, I loved every minute of our meal, chosen for us by Roth, at our request.
How to begin describing one of the best meals I have ever eaten? I suppose logic, and the “Sound of Music” song, would dictate that I start at the beginning.
I had the tremendous zechut to attend the wedding of my granddaughter Rachayli Fuchs to Shaul Klein in June, and then, much to my delight I was able to make one of the Sheva Berachot. My guest list was composed and invitations extended. The divrei Torah would be delivered by my grandson Rabbi Raphael Fuchs and my nephew Meir Greenwald.
If you are seeking a new place to visit this summer with all kosher amenities at your disposal, why not visit Scotland? Glasgow has a full range of Jewish facilities to cater for tourists and business people alike. Including daily minyanim, a mikveh for men and women, and kosher food. Edinburgh has a mikveh for ladies, minyanim only a few times during the week.
Armed with a clever name, an award-winning chef, and a remarkable menu, Meat Me is poised to take the world of Kosher cuisine by storm.
For the past six years, Café Muscat, located on Union Turnpike, in Fresh Meadows, Queens, has become a very popular spot in this particularly demanding neighborhood. You will not find bagels, cream cheese and lox on the menu of this restaurant.

A 53-year-old man was pronounced dead after he was found in a Lincoln parking lot Friday morning.
A worker clearing snow from a business west of downtown at 2nd and P streets spotted Kevin Harvey around 3:40 a.m. Efforts to revive him in the lot and at a Lincoln hospital failed.
Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said there were no signs of physical injuries. It's unclear whether Harvey was a victim of weather exposure or of some other medical problem. Authorities said he lived in a transitional housing facility at the People's City Mission.
An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday.

Miami is seeing a dining renaissance with a slew of new restaurants opening in 2014. From “Iron Chef” Masaharu Morimoto to Top Chef fan favorite Fabio Viviani, acclaimed toques are hitting the scene to open fresh new eateries. Here’s our guide to seven of Miami’s most-anticipated openings.
James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein (she won Best Chef: South in 2007) will open Seagrape at the new oceanfront Thompson Miami Beach in mid-November. The 267-seat, casually elegant restaurant will focus on simplicity by having a host of fresh vegetables, pedigreed steaks and an expansive raw bar with crudos, carpaccios, tartares and more. Seagrape’s nautical-inspired design, old-style Florida décor and indoor and outdoor seating create a feel of a classic brasserie. Bernstein has also commissioned local farmers to grow specific items just for her.
Celebrity chef and restaurateur Michael Mina is bringing his Las Vegas restaurant Stripsteak to Fontainebleau Miami Beach in the space formerly occupied by Gotham Steak. Led by chef de cuisine Derrick Roberts, this will be Mina’s second restaurant at the Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel. (Michael Mina 74 opened December 2013.) With this entry, think steakhouse gone upscale, elegant yet edgy, with modern takes on classic chophouse fare. The menu features all-natural, certified Angus and Japanese A5 Kobe cuts enhanced by creative plate presentations. Expect an impressive list of scotches, both foreign and domestic. Stripsteak is expected to open late fall.
The city’s most talked-about new spot is “Iron Chef” Masaharu Morimoto’s 180-seat namesake restaurant opened in early October at the newly renovated Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach. Designed by Glamorous of Tokyo, the look and ambience capture the sexy vibe of South Beach through pink, bronze, gray and light amber hues, and a unique chandelier specially made for the place. The equally eye-catching menu carries Morimoto’s signature specialties, such as tuna pizza, spicy king crab and toro tartare, as well as his playful takes on hamachi tacos, Wagyu tartare and bagna cauda. Look, too, for new star dishes created especially for South Beach, including ceviche with locally sourced seafood; seafood cocotte with lobster, prawns, scallops, clams and mussels; and gazpacho served with wasabi freshly grated tableside. Of course, the sushi bar takes center stage here, running the full length of the restaurant. You’ll also want to pull up to the regular bar that sits at the heart of the eatery and extends outdoors. Pastry chef Manabu Inoue’s salty caramel-chocolate tart or coconut-mango pudding is the perfect way to the end the meal. For the ultimate experience, book the VIP chef’s table on the terrace. (Also at the Shelborne, be sure to seek out self-proclaimed apotheker Albert Trummer’s sublime libations at his new Drawing Room Bar & Lounge that just opened on September 24.)
Indulge in authentic Spanish cuisine at Piripi (slang for “happy” or “tipsy”) by chef Najat Kaanache, a San Sebastian-born TV actress and former chef of Spain’s elBulli who honed her culinary skills at such high-profile establishments as Noma, Five-Star The French Laundry and Five-Star Per Se. The 200-seat indoor-outdoor restaurant will be located at the upscale Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables. The menu will stress fresh seafood, lively tapas and paellas that come with chef Kaanache’s creative spin. Standout design elements include a wine wall and a spectacular 20-foot blown-glass chandelier hanging in the bar/lounge area that is being produced by master glass blower Ryan Blythe, a disciple of famed Dale Chihuly. When Piripi opens in October or November, you’ll be able to take in the view from the prominent central bar while sipping from an array of Spanish wines and a selection of gin and tonics.
Coming to Miami Beach is Top Chef favorite Fabio Viviani with an outpost of Chicago’s Siena Tavern. The Florence-born Viviani will incorporate locally sourced produce and seafood into the menu of his upscale restaurant. The chef will strive to create a high-quality Northern Italian dining experience by making as much of the menu as possible from scratch. Siena will feel like a hybrid, a sort of rustic Italian market, fine-dining restaurant and modern, industrial tavern with walnut community tables, sleek booths with rich gray leather, crystal-and-steel chandeliers, graffiti art and brightly colored tropical foliage. Beyond the main dining area, you will have the option of eating under a sprawling olive tree, in an Art Deco rotunda or under a cozy pergola. When it comes to the stylish menu, Wagyu beef meatballs, housemade gnocchi with truffle cream and crispy pancetta, balsamic-drizzled hamachi crudo, thin-crust pizzas and the addictive coccoli (stracchino-cheese-stuffed dough balls) and prosciutto di parma are all must-try items. If you can, save room for Viviani’s signature dessert, the bomboloni, Italian hole-less doughnuts made from mashed potatoes and served with injection bottles filled with decadent dipping sauces.
The group behind the swank Villa Azur is launching this sister restaurant in trendy Midtown. Designed by François Frossard, the brasserie is expected to have a menu of French-Mediterranean cuisine. Though most other details are still under wraps, if Brasserie Azure is anything like Villa, you can expect a très glam gastronomic experience when the place opens in late fall.
Popular local chef Daniel Serfer of Blue Collar and food blogger Ryan Roman opened this oyster bar in the trendy Edgewater neighborhood back in August. Casual yet classy, the 1,600-square-foot, 60-seat Mignonette (the name comes from the vinegar-based sauce that traditionally accompanies oysters) is located in a refurbished gas station from the 1930s. It features elements of New Orleans (Bevolo copper lanterns and exposed brick) and touches of Old Florida (vintage wallpaper and wood paneling). Grab a house aperitif (a mix of bubbly, Banyuls wine vinegar, candied shallots and pink peppercorns) while you take a gander at the menu filled with “plain” and “fancy” dishes. From classic oysters Rockefeller and popcorn shrimp, to Kaluga caviar, prime rib and everything else in between, Mignonette has something that will please all tastes. Check the oyster bar’s marquee for the daily selection of half shells, too. | <urn:uuid:b6014439-a95d-43b2-ac67-ff60ba2994f2> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://stories.forbestravelguide.com/7-hot-miami-restaurant-openings-for-fall | 2020-08-06T19:12:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737019.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200806180859-20200806210859-00167.warc.gz | en | 0.90406 | 1,503 |

Asked my girl if I could take a picture of her with my cock in her mouth because it made her look even cuter, then took a video instead. | <urn:uuid:1c753d44-1416-4044-83d9-d19dcb27ba98> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://smutr.com/v/13913/ | 2018-04-25T21:50:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125947968.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20180425213156-20180425233156-00546.warc.gz | en | 0.972148 | 84 |
The main distinction between a statesman and an ordinary leader is the ability to place national (security) interests above personal political ambitions. Geo-politics is the biggest game of high stakes poker, thereby, millions of lives hang in the balance. The decision to protect ones citizens (in the long or short term) can result in placing a leader’s political career in jeopardy.
Many scratch their heads in bewilderment, wondering how Jewish leaders (supposedly known for their smarts) can make so many grave errors in judgment, particularly in the realm of strategic calculations. Specifically, and most recently, the much heralded IDF left most of Hamas’s terror leadership (and many of their foot soldiers too) alive and kicking during Operation Cast Lead. To be sure, the military leadership is subservient to the political leadership, however, it too is infected with personal political aspirations.
At play are two dangerous paradigms, one of which is the IDF doctrine of havlaga, “restraint is strength”, an oxymoron of Orwellian proportions. This doctrine was designed by a leftist professor ( all ‘credit’ due to Professor Asa Kasher, what a shock), which basically attempts to place an otherwise lofty goal-taking the moral high road-juxtaposed against the dynamics of brutal battlefields.
In tandem, Israel’s political leadership basically follows leftist doctrines (my op-ed, ‘The Paradox of Israeli Politics:Vote Right, Get Left’ explains the phenomena http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/06/the_paradox_of_israeli_politics_vote_right_get_left.html ), and in order for a high military leader to transition to political office (upon their retirement) they must prove their leftist bonafides. Hence, their hands are tied into double knots, both by the orders of the political leadership and through their future political ambitions. Restraint becomes a much more appealing/viable option under the above considerations-the path of least resistance. Hmm….
Back to the game of geo-politics. With Egypt’s recent fall to the Islamist Brotherhood, coupled with Hamas-their spawn-ruling Gaza, the above detriments (with a more than willing IDF Chief of Staff in tow, during Operation Cast Lead into Gaza in 2009) exposes what happens when personal ambitions trump national interests. The following is a non-hysterical rendering, by a well known Israeli analyst, explaining where the dangerous fault-lines (and onus) lie when statesmen are not at the helm-http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/security/01/06/egypt-has-fallen.html. | <urn:uuid:415d811c-7a25-464c-9df8-c73e5fbd1a28> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/06/ | 2017-08-23T23:17:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886124662.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823225412-20170824005412-00688.warc.gz | en | 0.947303 | 566 |

Periodically, GrubHub-Seamless digs into its mountain of delivery data, and there’s a brief public reckoning over New Yorkers’ lousy or surprisingly commendable tipping habits. For its latest breakdown of who’s tipping what, the online-ordering behemoth has teamed up with massive real-estate website StreetEasy. The two combined their powers — StreetEasy’s info on median rents in 2014, Seamless’s tip averages during the same — and used the results to gauge how paying a lot for rent affect tips. Not surprisingly, they conclude there’s a link, and sadly the two seem to be inversely related.
Here, first, are just the top ten neighborhoods by tip average (for some reason, the Bronx, portions of Brooklyn and Queens, and Staten Island weren’t included):
1. Greenpoint, Brooklyn (15.3 percent)
2. Sunset Park, Brooklyn (15.1 percent)
3. Woodside, Queens (15.1 percent)
4. Bushwick, Brooklyn (15 percent)
5. Gowanus, Brooklyn (14.9 percent)
6. Ditmas Park, Brooklyn (14.9 percent)
7. Borough Park, Brooklyn (14.8 percent)
8. Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (14.7 percent)
9. Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn (14.6 percent)
10. Kensington, Brooklyn (14.6 percent)
When tips and rent were compared, Seamless and StreetEasy say they found “the higher a neighborhood’s rent, the less residents tend to tip.” People in Upper Carnegie Hill, a well-off New York neighborhood, were the city’s worst tippers, tipping an average of just 12.3 percent, and 17 of the worst 20 tipping neighborhoods were in Manhattan.
It could be because the rent burden is higher in these neighborhoods, but that might not engender much sympathy from the guy who just received a buck for the Chinese he walked exclusively on marble to deliver. | <urn:uuid:5c06ff29-51dc-45e5-8939-495a35966e1f> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://www.grubstreet.com/2015/12/nyc-neighborhoods-that-tip-best.html | 2019-04-25T18:25:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578732961.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190425173951-20190425195951-00500.warc.gz | en | 0.927562 | 432 |

Medalcraft Mint works with customers to attain the ideal look for custom coins
The commemoratives marketplace is filled with generic event and organizational coins that fall short of creating the warm feeling intended from a special gift. A growing number of buyers are investing in the long-term benefits of short-run challenge coins and custom coins from Medalcraft Mint to reinforce their brand in the minds of recipients.
Medalcraft Mint, a Wisconsin-based company with a history of award-winning medal striking, leverages its in-house art department to create coins that stand the test of time. Recipients are more likely to hold onto and display custom coins much longer than they would a generic coin.
“Our team works collaboratively with customers to ensure their coins feature the exact style they are looking for,” says Jerry Moran, owner and chief executive officer at Medalcraft Mint. “Our commitment to ensuring every detail is covered makes custom coins more than just a commemorative. They are truly lifetime keepsakes.”
Custom coins are able to feature unique designs
Few commemoratives catch the eye more than coins. The ability to work specific messages, images and logos into the design makes them special for each organization or event. These unique designs provide tactile and visual memories that recipients retain for extended periods of time.
Medalcraft Mint’s metal striking process begins with highly skilled craftsmen, who engrave or hand-sculpt designs approved by customers into a steel die block. Pressing material into the die cavity makes an exact, repeatable impression of the crafted image and creates more superior images than cast pieces.
“Distributors as well as direct customers are looking for custom coins that set them apart from their competitors,” Moran says. “Our in-house manufacturing capabilities make it possible for us to deliver orders within three weeks of approval. This is another advantage of working with American manufacturers.”
Medalcraft Mint has reputation for quality craftsmanship
Medalcraft Mint has been a Wisconsin-based company since its founding in 1948.

COASTWISE WAREHOUSES, INCORPORATED
COASTWISE WAREHOUSES, INCORPORATED
THE development of ocean traffic which has come within recent years has advanced the port of New York to first place among the world's greatest. This means the great increase of facilities for the loading, unloading, handling, and storage of merchandise.
That last item of storage is of vast importance and warehouses for the free and bonded storage of merchandise now engage the energies of important firms, foremost among which is the corporation known as Coastwise Warehouses, Inc., having its principal offices at 534 Washington Street, New York, which with its numerous warehouses is now unquestionably the largest in the business.
Coastwise Warehouses was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in July, 1915, beginning with the Jane Street Stores at 142-132 Jane Street. This is a six-story warehouse with 65,000 square feet of floor-space with three elevators and a ioo-foot loading platform. Its capacity was soon taken up and the large patronage called for expansion of facilities, the first completed addition being the Washington Street Stores, 466-470 Washington Street (No. 2) containing 75,000 square feet, with two elevators and a 6o-foot loading platform.
On April 1, 1917, the Beach Street Stores, 48-60 Beach Street (No. 3) were added, with 106,000 square feet of floor storage space. It is a large and well-equipped plant with four large elevators and X 51-foot loading platform. The automatic sprinkler system is installed throughout the building.
The next addition was made on May 1, 1917, with the Greenwich Street Stores, 387-391 Greenwich Street and 69 North Moore Street (No. 4). It contains 60,000 square feet, with two elevators and a ioo-foot loading platform.
On July 25, 1917, the company added the Thompson Street Stores, 91-93 Thompson Street Xo. 5), where they have 40,000 square feet and an elevator with 40 feet loading space. By this time the business offered the company took up the full capacity of the stores then owned, and on October 1, 1917, the company added the Washington Street and Charlton Street Stores occupy-ing the premises at 532-540 Washington Street and at 121-127 Charlton Street (Nos. 7 and 8), where the company has both free and bonded stores. This is the finest equipped warehouse in New York, with storage space of 125,000 square feet, three fast elevators, a 200-foot loading platform, and steel awnings twenty feet wide. The general offices of the company are in the building at 534-540 Washington Street, and the office floor is most effectively and conveniently arranged with offices for the heads of departments and the large clerical and accounting forces required for the conducting of this great business, and in the arrangements and surroundings there is ample evidence of the fact that this firm is one which is in sympathy and fellowship with its employes.
Great as are the accommodations already enumerated, they have been largely increased during the year 1918 by notable accessions, including three new warehouses, of which the Thirtieth Street Stores (No. 9) are located at 656-632 West Thirtieth Street and have storage space of 40,000 square feet; the Perry Street Stores have storage space of 60,000 square feet; and the Forty-Eighth Street Stores (No. 11), located at 533-537 West Forty-eighth Street, have storage space of 56,000 feet. The company thus has its ample space evenly distributed all along the west- side water front, affording points of convenient storage within short distances from all the most important piers and freight terminals along the North River front. The management of these warehouses has tirelessly labored to furnish to the mercantile public the best storage accommodations, and it is this high quality of service that has brought to this enterprising company its wonderful development that has put it in the forefront of the storage business in the metropolis.
Not only does the company offer to its patrons the best that can be procured, but it is especially solicitous for and helpful to the welfare of its employes. All those employed by the company are protected under the company's group life insurance, and all employes are required to undergo regularly monthly physical examinations and receive free treatment from the company's physician.
THERE has never been in any country at any time in the world's history a more rapid and remarkable development of shipbuilding activities than that experienced in the United States during the past three years. The fact that a very large amount of tonnage was being destroyed, at the very time when there was a larger demand for the use of sea-going vessels than there had ever been before, created a demand for shipbuilding expansion, which called into action the resources and energies of every man and institution that could be enlisted in the problem of building ships to meet the world's needs.
As the United States excelled in resources of raw materials and manufacturing facilities, and was the only one of the great powers so situated that it could increase its shipbuilding capacity, there started up such a rapid development of shipbuilding as to create wonder and interest in all parts of the world. The demand for ships seemed to be insatiable. Shipyards sprang up at every available point on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Coasts, and the demand for tonnage was so great that the building of ships of wood, which had almost become an extinct department of the shipbuilding art, was revived in many places, with the most satisfactory results.
New enterprises in shipbuilding to meet these urgent demands were started at various points on the coast, and of those devoted to the building of wooden ships one of great prominence and unsurpassed completeness is that of the Coastwise Ship Building Company, of Baltimore, Maryland.
The business was established by T. M. Whed- bee, R. S. Scott, and Frank A. Brandy, who organized the business and incorporated their company in May, 1916, Mr. Whedbee becoming president, Mr. Scott vice-president, and Mr. Brandy secretary and treasurer of the company. The company operates a very complete plant at Balti-more, which has been characterized as the most modern wood shipbuilding plant in the United States, and which has every modern facility and convenience for the economical and expeditious construction of wooden hull ships. The yard has a capacity for the simultaneous construction of six vessels with 320 feet keel, and nothing has been left undone that could contribute in any way to the satisfactory working and the efficient prosecution of the shipbuilding business.
The company was one of the first to attract the attention of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, its plant having been planned and partly constructed during the year previous to the declaration of war, and it therefore was designated by the Shipping Board to build a considerable number of ships for the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
The operations are conducted under skillful supervision and the company have built to date eleven sea-going barges, six of which were of 1,700 tons deadweight capacity, four were of 1,500 tons deadweight capacity, and one was 1,750 tons deadweight capacity.
The excellent quality and thorough serviceability of the wooden vessels which they construct has attracted wide attention and the company is kept busy in the filling of orders not only for the Emergency Fleet Corporation but also for other ship- owning organizations, including the Reading Company of Philadelphia, for which it is now building a schooner barge, and it also has in hand the construction of a number of wooden freight steamers.
Baltimore is most favorably situated as a shipbuilding center, and particularly as one for the building of wooden ships, being accessible to large supplies of raw material for the construction of these vessels and being within easy access for the receipt of shipments from the Southern forests. The officers of the company are men that combine practical experience with business ability, in whose hands the industry is conducted in a most orderly and efficient manner, with a resulting product that gives the highest satisfaction to those for whom they are being built.
COASTWISE SHIP BUILDING COMPANY
The usefulness of the wooden ship for certain classes of freight has been amply demonstrated by recent experience, and while the rebirth of the wooden shipbuilding industry was brought about by the country's emergency, the result has been to create a permanent and increasing demand for wooden tonnage. | <urn:uuid:e5a6b7cf-5131-4038-9500-9c4c1dd12ed5> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.marinelink.com/history/coastwise-warehouses-incorporated | 2017-02-27T14:02:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501172831.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104612-00391-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97216 | 1,757 |
