Legend of the Galactic Heroes (LoGH) is based on the Japanese animation series bearing the same name. LoGH is all about the epic battles between gigantic fleets of the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance. This mod will feature different political factions of the empire or the alliance. We aim to recreate the space opera feeling and the fleet tactics employed in the series. Research and economics will be reduced to a minimum and the main focus will be on tactics and fleet movements like in the series.
Does not reach it's potential.
This mod sadly sacrifices gameplay in terms of "recreating" what's been seen on the screen. But if mods for soase have showed us anything than it's that soase's machanics allow for a deeper experience inside the universes we love so much.
This mod throws out all research to focus on space battles.
You start the game - immediately start building your ships - attack the enemy. And that's about it. There's no "real" diplomacy no research of ships and planet management has also made almost obsolete.
This mod wants to shine when it comes to the battles that made LOGH so impressive. And to some extent it does!
The music is perfectly chosen and will make you feel comfortable at once.
The new resource effects and symbols are extremely well made and show the dedication that went into them.
The ship textures - one of the most important aspects - range from great to right out horrible, while even the great ones often lack the certain three-dimensionality that they'd need and appear somewhat "flat".
Another major flaw is that most regular ships are practically the same ship with different textures and slightly different stats. Even capital ships have all the same generic skills(hello gamplay!)
The "support" ships try to make up for that but eventually fail to deliver.
The AI is only sub par and doesn't quite manage what this mod would need to compensate for the gameplay elements thrown out.
What's left is a decent looking mod with incredibly shallow gameplay that just feels "lacking" in so many departments.
Slowing down the pace of the game would've improved the space opera feeling by a landslide and having kept the research mechanics and significant planet management in the game would've not only allowed for a deeper gameplay experience but also for a deeper experience of the source material.
As a fan of LOGH I hoped that this would be the mod that would suck me into it's world and experience but in the end I'm still searching for it | <urn:uuid:06734349-3be7-4423-adb5-09a70835fdaf> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://www.moddb.com/mods/legend-of-the-galactic-heroes/reviews/542726 | 2019-01-17T05:04:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583658702.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190117041621-20190117063621-00125.warc.gz | en | 0.960014 | 513 |

Interviewed at Meherabad, India 1981, 1982
Padri (Faredoon Driver) is interviewed at Meherabad in 1981 and 1982 by Gary Kleiner. Padri is at his pithy best as he emphasizes the importance of obedience to the master.
Padri was 18 years old when he met Meher Baba in 1922. He oversaw the construction and maintenance of buildings at Meherabad, where Meher Baba's body was entombed in 1969. Baba called Padri one of the "four pillars" of Meherabad. | <urn:uuid:04c30568-aca6-47ab-92a9-144e5d177b97> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://searchlightbooks.org/products/padri | 2022-05-24T12:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662572800.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220524110236-20220524140236-00748.warc.gz | en | 0.961839 | 119 |

I and some of my family went to see world renowned superstar Rihanna at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday 25th June 2016.
Rihanna has become a modern music, entertainment and fashion icon. As an accomplished performer, she has sold 54 million albums and 210 million digital tracks worldwide making her the top-selling digital artist of all time.
We were all so excited to see Rihanna and it was great that she was performing at our own town of Coventry. However, we were not impressed with the Ricoh Arena and how unorganised and unprofessional it all was. We had gold circle tickets where we would be standing but to get near the front or at the front we needed to arrive early. We had all planned for this and had our picnic supplies, mat to sit on and of course our rain coats and umbrellas(as you can't go to a Rihanna concert without an umbrella,Ella, hey, hey...)
We arrived at 1pm giving us three hours before the gates opened at 4pm, we sat by the entrance stairs at gate 25A where our tickets had directed us to. There were a few people in front but not too many so we were positive about being near the front and was very excited. As time went on more and more people arrived and were all trying to squash into this very small area. Although there was plenty of staff around they were doing nothing about organising barriers for queuing and people were trying to push in. If they had used queuing barriers this would not have been a problem, why should people who arrive just before opening the doors be able to push in.
The doors were due to open at 3.30pm but was late so opened at 3.40pm but only for people who had paid for priority gold circle tickets allowing early entrance half an hour before, there was not many and they got through quickly. More and more people were arriving at this point and we were all squashed together like sardines waiting to go up the stairs and get inside. The tension within the crowds was building up it was pouring down with rain and when doors finally opened at 4.20pm the crowds pushed and we were all thrown up the stairs towards the doors.
Because of the amount of people that were pushing the staff just about managed to check our tickets but did not check our bags.Then to make matters worse we were all sent into another room, squashed together some more and had to wait for what seemed like forever for two very small doors to open. What on earth were the staff thinking? let's wait until there are hundreds of people in one very small stuffy room, make everybody wait a further 15 minutes until the room is so full from every corner then squash them all through the doors together! Why wasn't the doors open for us when they had checked our tickets we could have all just walked through without the big surge. I suffer from claustrophobia and I nearly passed out at this point, I was stuck, there was no way back as there were so many people behind me and at the sides.
When the doors opened, we all thought our lives were over as everybody started pushing and it was simply horrifying we were squashed through those doors like caged animals and my 15-year-old niece had her wrist bent back and bruised, Luckily we survived but there were some extremely bruised people who were crying and shaking. I'm so glad I didn't bring my 13-year-old daughter she would have been crushed, I saw some younger girls crying it was shocking. The Ricoh are to blame and if they are to hold more concerts in the future they need to sort things out. What would Rihanna have thought if she knew bags were not checked and she was at risk?
But after all the drama Rihanna was simply amazing, I loved all her new songs from her new album and of course all the old favourites. She is absolutely stunning, can dance so well, her voice was just perfect, the stage act was so cool along with her dancers and all her sexy outfits. We were at the front and it was so surreal to be that close to such a super star what a great life experience that I will never forget! | <urn:uuid:4066a994-9ffd-40ca-ad6d-4a607c060c22> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://www.clixprestige.co.uk/single-post/2016/06/27/Rihanna-Anti-world-Tour | 2019-12-15T12:32:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575541308149.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20191215122056-20191215150056-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.995281 | 858 |
Lott's conservative critics. What Trent Lott and nitwits such as Sean Hannity seem not to realize is that this isn't partisan, and it's not really about the racist remarks Lott made at Strom Thurmond's birthday party last week. Many conservatives have been leading the charge in the effort to drive Lott out as Senate Republican leader, if not out of the Senate itself. And the reason is that Lott's praise for Thurmond's 1948 segregationist presidential campaign was reflective of Lott's longstanding practice of seeking friendship and support from the most racist, retrograde elements of the Republican Party.
This morning, Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby, a stalwart conservative, calls on Lott to resign, calling him "a witless yahoo who waxes nostalgic for the pre-civil rights South." WTKK Radio (96.9 FM) talk-show host Jay Severin, who stands approximately to the right of Tom DeLay, has been urging Lott to step down as well. No surprise there: Severin delights in calling affirmative action a form of "racism," but he also marched for civil rights in the 1960s.
Another conservative, the Wall Street Journal's John Fund, writes today, "Mr. Lott's remarks reopen one of the rawest and ugliest moments in American politics." Fund reports that the four Republican appointees to the US Civil Rights Commission -- including the extremely conservative, anti-affirmative-action Abigail Fernstrom -- have issued a statement saying that Lott's comments "were particularly shameful coming from a leader of the Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, and the party that supported all of these essential steps forward far more vigorously than the Democratic Party, which at the time was the home of Congressional southerners committed to white supremacy." (Question for Thernstrom: the Democrats used to support slavery, too. Is that still relevant?)
Conservative Andrew Sullivan has been huge on this, and has posted more good stuff this morning -- including a shot at the loathsome Hannity. (Last night, on the Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes, the witless cohost demanded that the black congressman who'd agreed to come on the show defend the Reverend Jesse Jackson's statements that he spit into the food of white people when he was a youth. Say what?) Sullivan writes that Lott "cannot be Republican Senate Majority Leader any more without destroying a good deal of what George W. Bush has accomplished" -- a reference, I suppose, to the president's halting but sincere efforts to make the Republican Party more inclusive.
Reader LC called my attention to yet another conservative columnist who is demanding Lott's resignation, Charles Krauthammer, who writes in today's Washington Post:
This is not just the kind of eruption of moronic bias or racial insensitivity that cost baseball executive Al Campanis and sports commentator Jimmy the Greek Snyder their careers. This is something far more important. This is about getting wrong the most important political phenomenon in the past half-century of American history: the civil rights movement. Getting wrong its importance is not an issue of political correctness. It is evidence of a historical blindness that is utterly disqualifying for national office.
And on and on it goes, and will go, until Trent Lott finally goes.
One final point. Hannity-inspired boneheads who blame Lott's woes on liberals should consider that it's the Democrats who have the most to gain by his staying on, as Wayne Woodlief notes in today's Boston Herald. You can be sure that President Bush is waiting for Lott to do the right thing so that he doesn't have to whack him in public. But Lott's values are not Bush's, and if Lott insists on staying, he's going to cripple the next two years of Bush's presidency.
I suspect Lott has maybe one more day to step down before Karl Rove tells him to expect the president to mention him in a brief statement on the White House lawn. | <urn:uuid:ff1cefcf-8999-4a01-afba-1bbd4a8f533e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://medialogarchives.blogspot.com/2002/12/lotts-conservative-critics.asp | 2023-09-27T01:10:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510238.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927003313-20230927033313-00486.warc.gz | en | 0.957722 | 824 |

One of the things which make me love this server is capcha. It's quite unique and very important features of cataclysm. Macroses killed UO, so if we could make pleople play less unattended - its for the good. Suggestions:
1) There is a way to make capcha input more fun and less annoying when you gather resources. Make it give award 2 platinum if you typed it succesfully Not much difference in economy, but makes server better place.
2) I also suggest add capcha to more activities - like crafting and some other stuff (animal taming & etc). It would make server more unique place - less affected by macroses. I would even suggest add capcha for all skills, but I understand that too much people would be against it So lets just try to add some more activities for now?

We're considering a last-minute trip for MLK weekend. Disney resort nights would be Fri & Sat Jan 18 & 19, 2013. A standard Pop Century room is $125/night, and a preferred All Star Movies is $131/night. Which one is better? We'll have a car so will only need the bus for our MK day. I thought crowds would be ludicrous, but Josh's calendar says the parks will be a 5&6, and in August a few months ago we had 7's so that's a nice surprise. I thought the crowds would be worse on a holiday weekend. | <urn:uuid:ee50f077-a626-4f98-a34c-29363380e616> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.disboards.com/threads/pop-century-vs-all-star-movies.3031901/ | 2015-11-28T23:57:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398454553.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205414-00120-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974064 | 123 |
In today’s post, I will provide a comprehensive Amway Review.
Love them or hate them, Amway is a powerhouse in the network marketing industry. Depending on the year, they’re either the # 1 or # 2 MLM Company in the world. There’s normally a battle between them and Avon for the top spot.
They have huge market share, doing nearly $11.8 billion in sales in 2013. In fact, they are one of only a handful of network marketing companies to surpass the $1 billion annual sales mark.
What I want to do in this detailed blog post is give you an independent Amway review, so you can see if it is the right fit for you as a customer or distributor. As a quick disclaimer, I should tell you upfront that I am “former” distributor; however, I have no negative feelings toward the company. I’m also still a happy customer, from time-to-time, since I’ve always enjoyed the Amway products.
The Company History
Amway is the “God Father” of network marketing. That’s how I think of them anyway. They trace their roots back to the 1950s. Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVoss were successful Nutrilite distributors at the time. They founded the American Way Company (Amway for short) in Ada, Michigan in 1959. Their first product was the L.O.C. Cleaner.
Within a few short years the company expanded into Canada (1962). In the 1970s they acquired Nutrilite and expanded into several other countries, including Australia. By the 1980s the company reached the $1 billion mark in annual sales. By the 1980s they had more than one million distributors worldwide and did business in more than 20 countries.
By the 1990’s the company was in full swing and at all time high in popularity. Amway continues to thrive each year and expand into new international markets. They are definitely the “big dog” in our industry.
The Amway Founders
In this section, we are going to talk about Amway Founders Richard Devos and Jay Van Andel. They are two quite interesting entrepreneurs. Here are a few things you might not know about them.
Richard DeVos was born in 1926 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He received his education at Calvin College in Grand Rapids. Rich served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II.
Richard is married to Helen DeVos. Together, they have four children.
In January of 2017, the figures determined Richard DeVos was worth $5.1 Billion. Rich has invested in various sport’s teams over the years but as of now, he just owns the NBA franchise Orlando Magic, and has a minority share in the Chicago Cubs baseball club.
The first business had both of these men working together. They started a drive-in diner.
Richard DeVos is well known for giving back. He does have a heart to help people but that is not what I am talking about here. You see, Rich has a new heart. In 1997, he was the recipient of a new heart via transplant.
He holds strong to his Christian values. He is greatly opposed to gay marriage and has been attacked for his beliefs. In addition, he has authored various books to include:
- Believe – 1975
- Compassionate Capitalism – 1993
- Hope From My Heart – 2000
- Ten Powerful Phrases For Positive People – 2008
- Simply Rich – 2014
If I had some idea of a finish line, don’t you think I would have crossed it years ago? – Richard DeVos
Jay Van Andel
Jay was born in 1924 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Sadly, he passed away in 2004 from Parkinson’s Disease. He was married to Betty Hoekstra – Van Andel who also passed away in 2004 from complications with Alzheimers. They had four children.
Jay Van Andel was Chairman of the United States Chamber of Commerce from 1979 to 1980. Upon starting Amway, Jay wrote the majority of sales and marketing manuals for Amway distributors. Jay wrote and published one book: An Enterprising Life which is his autobiography.
You can’t predict the future, but you can follow your dreams. – Jay Van Andel
No matter what your opinion is of Amway or Richard DeVos and Jay Van Andel, you must admit that they have changed the world for the better. Personally, I have nothing but respect for these two men. They were able to start their business with very little money, and build it into an empire: the true American Dream.
The Amway Products
The Amway products are phenomenal. I know people who have been using the products for 30 or 40-years, and they’re just customers. I left the company more than 15-years ago and I still use several of their the products. To me, that speaks volumes.
Amway manufactures several hundred of their own products. Some of their leading product lines include vitamins, nutrition, weight loss, skin care, personal care, energy drinks, and magnetic therapy. They have soaps, shampoos, lotions, potions, cosmetics, and so much more. They really do offer something for everyone.
Some of their most popular products include:
- Nutrilite Double X vitamins
- Artistry Makeup
- Amway SA-8 laundry detergent
- XS Energy Drinks
- E-Spring Water Filter
Since I left the Amway business in 2004, I know they have lowered the prices on a lot of their products to make them more competitive in the marketplace. They aren’t always the cheapest products around, but I do think they are priced fairly, especially if you shop around and buy at the wholesale price.
The Amway Compensation Plan
Within Amway, you are paid to help the company generate sales. You make money by either retailing the products or by building a team of distributors. When you are just getting started with Amway I suggest you focus on building a customer base first. When you get customers you earn the wholesale-retail difference, and you can also get paid on the total volume. This will help you be profitable, right out the gate.
You can also earn overrides and commissions by building a large team of distributors. That’s where the big money in network marketing comes from. Some distributors have teams of hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of distributors that they earn a small commission from each person’s sales and orders.
Amway uses a unilevel compensation plan, sometimes referred to as a breakaway compensation plan. That means that distributors can personally sponsor as many people as they want to on their front line. When someone you sponsor places and order or makes a retail sale, it counts towards your total monthly sales volume.
The goal is to help someone you sponsor reach the rank of Platinum, whereupon their group “breaks away” and is no longer included in your monthly volume. Instead, you start to receive a royalty commission off that group’s total volume each month (assuming you meet certain qualifications).
In Amway, they use PV and BV to determine monthly commissions. PV is the point value of a product. BV is the business volume. Your total PV determines which percentage of the BV you get paid upon. As an example, a product that sells for $100 might have a PV of 40 and a BV of 80. That is just a hypothetical example to put things in perspective.
Here’s how the commission breakdown works.
- 100-299 PV in a month earns you 3% of the BV
- 300 to 599 PV in a month earns you 6% of the BV
- 600 to 999 PV in a month earns you 9% of the BV
- 1,000 to 1,499 PV in a month earns you 12% of the BV
- 1,500 to 2,499 PV in a month earns you 15% of the BV
- 2,500 to 3,999 PV in a month earns you 18% of the BV
- 4,000 to 5,999 PV in a month earns you 21% of the BV
- 6,000 to 7,499 PV in a month earns you 23% of the BV
- 7,500 PV or more in a month earns you 25% of the BV
Keep in mind this includes your personal consumption, your personal sales, and your team’s personal consumption and sales.
The ranks advancements include:
- Founders Platinum
- Founders Ruby
- Founders Sapphire
- Founder’s Emerald
- Founders Diamond
- Executive Diamond
- Founders Executive Diamond
- Double Diamond
- Founder’s Double Diamond
- Triple Diamond
- Founder’s Triple Diamond
- Founders Crown
- Crown Ambassador
- Founders Crown Ambassador

Amway vs. the FTC
In 1979 Amway paved the way for the rest of the network marketing industry. They won an important lawsuit vs. the FTC helping establish the legality of the network marketing profession. The key points from the lawsuit were that distributors must have 10 customers, that 70% of the products are sold at the retail price, and that the company offers a buyback period.
The Amway Controversy
Without a doubt the major controversy with Amway is the tools and Motivational Organizations. To this day I’ve never met anyone who had a problem with the company itself. Most people love the products and have a high regard for the company.
All of the problems stem with the tools business. The major controversy with the tools business is that the successful distributors (Emeralds and above) make MOST of their money from the tools and business support materials, not Amway. The tools include Standing Order Tape, Book of the Month, voicemail services, events, and other business support materials.
Depending upon who you ask, many of the Diamonds make more than 70% of their income from the tools, not the Amway business. The biggest issue with the tools is the deceptiveness. When you are shown the plan, no one tells you that the Diamonds make a big portion of their income from the tools. And when you ask most Diamonds how much they make from the tools, they normally brush it off.
Many folks argue that Amway exists to support the tools business, not the other way around. And that is the problem that most people have with Amway. I personally see it as a conflict of interest.
I personally don’t think the tools and systems are bad. The tapes and functions helped me immensely. I know they do offer some value. I think it’s the pressure and deception that many Diamonds use to get everyone on their team “plugged in” to the their system. They stress the importance of the system and tell people the only way they can succeed is if they use the system. In many cases, they even refuse to work with people who don’t “buy in” to the system.
Once again, it’s how they go about it that rubs people the wrong way. I hope that one day Amway will “police” the Amway Motivational Organizations and either get rid of, or modify, how the tools business works. If they would do that, I think you would see a lot of people rejoin Amway.
I personally think the best thing Amway could do would be to get rid of the AMOs, tools, and systems and handle everything in house. They could create and sell their own business building tools at their cost, or for a small profit. That would eliminate most of the problems with the tools business.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly about Amway as I see it.
- Great products at fair prices
- Huge product line
- Huge international presence
- Established company, 60+ years old
- Outdated compensation plan
- Crazy rules in the distributor agreement (just read it)
- Bad reputation with many consumers and prospects (many folks hear the name and run)
- The tools business and AMOs
- Horrible online reputation
Keep in mind these things are just my opinion. Your opinion may differ.
Amway Success Stories
I should start out by telling you that most people who join Amway QUIT. Don’t let that scare you though. Nearly 90% of all businesses fail in every industry. In addition, most realtors fail, most insurance agents fail, most marriages fail, and most diets fail. It’s just important to compare oranges to oranges and put things in context.
And while there might be some Amway horror stories online, there are also lots of success stories. Some people achieve monumental success in Amway. And many others earn a very nice part-time income that adds to their lifestyle and improves their quality of life.
Within Amway, Diamond seems to be the pinnacle of success that everyone is trying to achieve. In essence, a Diamond is someone who reaches Platinum and helps minimum six other people do the same thing.
Some of the most famous Diamonds in Amway include Bill Britt, Dexter Yager, Barry Chi and Holly Chen, Tim Foley, Dave Severn, Larry and Pam Winters, Robert Crisp, Jody Victor, Ron Puryear, Mark Lei, Jim and Nancy Dornan, Mark Schwarz, Leonard and Esther Kim, Fred and Bernice Hansen, Don and Ruth Storms and many others.
I put together a huge list of the top 27 Amway Diamonds of all time. I think you will enjoy reading that detailed post.
Amway Success Tips
If you look at most of the successful people in Amway, most of them joined prior to 1990, and most of those folks joined prior to 1980. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but not many! You could still join Amway today and achieve big success (Diamond and above), but it would be difficult.
During my time with World Wide Dream Builders, they taught that Amway was a two to five year plan to financial freedom. During my 2.5 years with the company, we only had one or two new Diamonds in WWDB, so I questioned how good the plan really was. Hands down the biggest challenge was attrition. Keeping people “plugged in” to the system and ordering the products each month was hard to do.
While it might be difficult to join Amway today and become a Diamond, I think anyone could join the company and make $500 to $1,000 per month by building a part-time retail business. One of my best tips would be to avoid the systems and tools. The major problems with the systems are the expense. For most folks participating in the system will eat up any of the profits that you do generate.
I would also tell anyone joining Amway today to build up a customer base first. Develop 10 to 20 personal customers so you can make $200 to $1,000 per month in retail commissions. Do that BEFORE you go out and promote the business opportunity. If you just go out and just try to RECRUIT-RECRUIT-RECRUIT, you will spin your wheels, get bad results, and get burnt out! Trust me. I’ve been there and done that.
Another tip would be to study marketing, sales, and lead generation. Learn how to sell and learn how to generate leads online and offline. This will really help you out in your Amway business. Treat it like a business and it will pay you like a business. Treat it like a hobby and you will lose money. Does that make sense?
My Experience in Amway
I joined Amway in 2002. At the time it was called Quixtar. I was 24 years old and was a First Lieutenant in the Army at Fort Carson, Colorado. One of my peers invited me over to her house about a money making idea. I had no idea what it was about, so I showed up out of curiosity. I didn’t really want to go, but my best friend dragged me a long.
When I got to her house, the presenter (another Army Officer) was spinning the circles on a dry erase board and talking about “finding six people who find six people.” I was mesmerized to say the least. Up until that point in my life I had never heard of Amway, residual income, or network marketing. I was so excited that I didn’t sleep much for a few days. In fact, I went home and signed up as a distributor that night.
I spent about 2.5 years in Amway. Overall, my experience in Amway was very positive. I didn’t get rich or ever make it to Diamond, but I did achieve moderate success. I was profitable and had a lot of fun. I learned a lot about life, business, and goal setting. I reached the rank of Eagle with 2500 PV and was very close to 4000 PV. I decided to leave the business for personal reasons (mainly the tools business), but have been involved with network marketing ever since.
I have nothing negative to say about my Amway experience. I learned so many valuable lessons that continue to guide me today and have helped me become the person I am. I know it’s not for everyone, but I consider Amway (and network marketing) the greatest business school you can attend!

How Amway Helped Me in Life
Next, I want to share how Amway helped me become successful in life and in business. I understand that everyone has a different experience. This is just a summary of how Amway impacted my life.
During my time with the company, I learned tons of valuable lessons about life, business, sales, marketing, business finances, people skills, and much more. Of all the lessons I learned in Amway, three really stand out and still guide me today. These three lessons have shaped my life and helped me become successful in life and in business. In the paragraphs below I am going to explain each lesson in greater detail. I hope they can help you as much as they helped me.
Lesson # 1: The Importance of Goal Setting
Prior to joining Amway I knew NOTHING about setting written goals. No one in school or college ever gave me even one hour of instruction on how to set written goals. No one taught me how important it was to have written goals. Right from my first few weeks in the Amway business my upline sat me down and educated me about goals. He helped me set some business and life goals. He had me WRITE DOWN my goals and taught me to read them out loud to myself every morning.
Since then (2002) I have set written goals every single month. I also set yearly written goals. If I had to credit one thing to my success of being a high achiever, it’s my goals. My goals keep me on track and keep me focused. They give me something to work for and stretch me out of my comfort zone. They give me purpose and direction.
All businesses need goals. All people need goals. Goals can change your life in a good way. Most people just float through life and take things as they come. Successful people decide what they want, they create a game plan to make it happen, and they get after it. To succeed in life, you need to learn how to set goals.
Lesson # 2: The Power of Association
Anyone who has children understands the power of association. You don’t want your kids hanging around bad influences, because it might affect YOUR child’s behavior. As adults, the power of association is equally important.
It’s important to rub elbows with other achievers and successful people. It’s important to hang around others who have a good attitude. It’s important to hang around others who are supporting and encouraging. It’s important to hang around people who want more out of life.
Now, I’m not saying you should avoid or ignore anyone else. You can’t always choose the people that are close to you in life, specifically your family. However, make sure you spend MOST of your time around positive people with big goals, who want more out of life. Make sure you spend time around people who lift you up, not people who bring you down.
Amway taught me this lesson and I am extremely grateful.
Lesson # 3: The Power of Personal Development
Probably the biggest and most important lesson I learned during my time in Amway was the power of personal development. Up until that point in life, no one had ever taught me about personal development. I never read books, went to seminars, listened to tapes, or did anything to improve myself.
Yes, I went to college to get a degree and yes, I went to some Army classes, but that was it.
Amway helped me start my personal development journey. They helped me fall in love with reading. They challenged me to grow as a person a little bit each day. They challenged me to enroll in auto-university and re-program the way I think. They challenged me to attend personal development and business seminars.
I look back at the person I was when I first joined Amway 13-years ago and there is NO comparison with whom I am today. I am a completely different person. And because of my personal growth journey I will continue to learn, improve and develop. I look forward to the person I will become in the next 13-years.
To succeed in life, develop a personal development plan. Your growth won’t happen by accident.
In conclusion, I am still a big fan of Amway, even though I don’t like the Amway Motivational Organizations, tools, and systems. The company is a powerhouse in the network marketing industry and has paved the way for so many other network marketing companies.
In addition, I believe the company has great products and still offers a good business opportunity. No, it’s not for everyone. But, if you’re looking to partner with an established MLM Company with a global presence it might be the right fit for you! Like any other business venture, make sure you do your due diligence first so you can be an informed decision maker.

A Twitter Bot in 10 Lines
Everyone loves Robocop right? He's a police officer and a robot, it's the greatest pairing since PB+J. Plus he has an affection for Unicorns.
We can learn a lot from Robocop. I mean, just check out the Wikipedia entry:
Set in a crime-ridden Detroit, Michigan in the near future, RoboCop centers on a police officer who is murdered brutally and subsequently re-created as a super-human cyborg known as "RoboCop". RoboCop includes larger themes regarding the media, gentrification and human nature in addition to being an action film.
Having watched the movie 100 times during my teen years, I can assert that it definitely has all those larger themes covered. I eagerly away the Criterion Collection DVD. Robocop spawned sequels, a stage adaptation, and also a musical.
One of the best catchlines from Robocop is "I'd buy that for a dollar". From Wikipedia:
A joke among people who know RoboCop is a popular, but inane TV show with the catchphrase "I'd buy that for a dollar!", which people in the film's future universe find humorous. The star is the goofy Bixby Snyder (S.D. Nemeth). Neither the name of the show nor the character are ever revealed in the movie, although girls are heard to greet him with "Bixby!" and "Happy birthday Dave!" On the DVD commentary, Edward Neumeier comments that somehow the explanation & history of this television show was never included in the script. A deleted scene from the DVD finally reveals the show's name to be It's Not My Problem!, which is also a reference to one of the film's major themes of greed and personal satisfaction.
Allow me to introduce Bixby Snyder to Twitter. Thanks to a nifty ruby gem Twibot, anyone who mentions Robocop in a tweet will get a taste of nostalgia in return. Here's the source code if someone wants to play:
You learn two things while writing a Robocop-based twitter bot:
1 - People talk about Robocop a lot more than you think on Twitter. And I don't mean the Kanye West song.
2 - Writing bots is really fun. | <urn:uuid:fcb11794-4b39-4b0d-bf30-ff9c5cc72955> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://muffinlabs.com/2009/09/30/a-twitter-bot-in-10-lines/ | 2019-02-17T06:20:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247481624.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190217051250-20190217073250-00286.warc.gz | en | 0.959458 | 467 |
What are your guilty clichés?
Every industry has its clichés.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
He was as mad as hell.
Weak as a kitten, strong as an ox.
At the end of the day….
Clichés are shorthand
They show us that we have a shared language, and understanding.
They are grounded in shared experience and that means they are shared over time.
But time bleaches words of meaning. Words left open to the light from repeated exposure lose their vividness and colour.
The danger of the cliché is that we give our audience permission to zone-out.
When our audience can anticipate our trajectory, we give them permission to get comfortable. That’s not entirely a bad thing. If I turned up for a corporate presentation in my pyjamas, there would need to be a compelling reason, and it would need to be tied to a theme in order for it to make sense. If I didn’t, I would run the risk of being so disruptive that nobody would pay much attention to what I was saying.
That said, we so often run in a default mode of repeating the familiar that we lose the opportunity to be fresh.
“time passed like ivory beads on a black thread” – John Hawkes, Travesty
“a stately ice pudding of a cloud” – Patrick White, A Fringe of Leaves
“[The] city lay curled up below like an animal infested with electric lights” – Angela Carter, Several Perceptions
We have so many tools at our disposal to engage an audience, why leave it to the poets and the writers to create something fresh?
Clichés are not just our words, but our actions
Must every presentation be at the front of the room?
Are we doing the same things all of our competitors are?
Think about the kinds of clichés that are in your industry, and avoid them….
like the plague. | <urn:uuid:4f7dd6c4-f6c2-43e4-94f7-56a2dd357836> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://fortepresence.com/2015/05/14/be-disruptive-subvert-the-cliche-to-stand-out/ | 2017-12-15T04:34:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948563629.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20171215040629-20171215060629-00589.warc.gz | en | 0.952535 | 415 |

Digitimes is reporting that the next release of Mac OS X, code-named Leopard, will not ship until October of this year as Apple works to ensure compatibility with Windows Vista.
Sounds a little hard to believe, but the report says that with the inclusion of Boot Camp inside Leopard, Apple wants to make sure that Mac owners will be able to run Vista and Leopard on the same machine. Boot Camp, currently in beta, allows Mac users with Intel's chips to run Windows XP on their systems. Apple plans to include a final version of Boot Camp with Leopard.
Other popular Mac applications, such as iTunes, are still not fully compatible with Vista. And there have been problems reported with third-party drivers from companies like that didn't work properly when confronted with Vista. But would Apple really delay the next release of its operating system to ensure compatibility with Vista, which is only being used by a fraction of PC users at present?
Apple has said it expects to ship Leopard this spring. Spring started this week, and ends just after Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference wraps up in June. | <urn:uuid:449915ff-cacb-4b39-ba91-9b7f6bfa1eed> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.cnet.com/culture/mac-os-x-leopard-delayed-to-october/ | 2022-06-26T18:48:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103271763.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20220626161834-20220626191834-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.967457 | 221 |
“Hulk Smash!” Fans have been waiting to hear that phrase on the big screen for years upon years, and in the summer of 2008, they got their wish. The popular Marvel character Hulk busted back onto the big screen after a five-year hiatus in one of the most action-packed movies of the summer. And that, folks, is not hyperbole. The Incredible Hulk has a host of ingenious and flat-out crazy action sequences, but what about the story? Well, we’ll look at that and the one-disc release right after the synopsis.
The Incredible Hulk kicks off an all-new, explosive and action-packed epic of one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) desperately hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk. Living in the shadows–cut off from a life he knew and the woman he loves, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler)–Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power. As all three grapple with the secrets that led to The Hulk’s creation, they are confronted with a monstrous new adversary known as The Abomination (Tim Roth), whose destructive strength exceeds even The Hulk’s own.
Before I go any further, like most reviewing this title, I feel obligated to at least mention the 2003 Ang Lee Hulk film. Personally I liked it, flaws and all, and if you want to know why, the review for the recent Blu-ray release of Hulk is available to view here. However, to give The Incredible Hulk the attention it deserves, this is all I’ll be mentioning of that movie. I’ll be looking at The Incredible Hulk completely independently from the 2003 Hulk feature. I understand The Incredible Hulk was a reboot because of the 2003 original, but I feel that, for some reason, whenever The Incredible Hulk and Hulk get mentioned in the same breathe, people automatically think less of the newest movie starring the Green Goliath. Now, in order to be fair, I’m going to look at The Incredible Hulk as a completely unique affair, so, let’s get going!
While The Incredible Hulk may be light on substance, it has an over-abundance of flash. In fact, this movie is probably what many, many fans of the Green Goliath were waiting for. The action sequences are incredible and the special effects hold up pretty well. The movie opens and we’re already rolling with the storyline, since every bit of backstory is covered in the inventive and clever opening credits sequence. His origin, the accident, his attempts to find a cure, all of it is here, so there’s no need. Instead, we jump right into the story which proves to be a huge benefit for the film. We’re not bogged down with any type of backstory but, instead, we’re rushed into the second act. Director Louis Leterrier keeps the moving going, but never makes it feel rushed in any way. While it’s obvious the movie has been trimmed, Letterier is able to make this movie so engrossing that it’s impossible not to get sucked in.
And that is how this movie manages to work so well. It keeps you completely sucked in, mostly thanks to the stellar acting of Edward Norton as Bruce Banner. He’s a great sympathetic character, one that you can root for as the movie puts him through quite a few rough spots. He fully envelopes the character, especially the yearning for a cure and the constant struggles he’s enduring just to get to the end of the day. The movie thankfully shares with us how he manages to keep the Green Goliath at bay, mainly through meditation (including a couple gimmicks straight from Bruce Jones’ run on the The Incredible Hulk comic). Norton’s Banner is smart, focused, driven, and, ultimately, heroic.
The rest of the main characters serve their purpose fine. Liv Tyler is just fine as Betty Ross, Banner’s main squeeze and the resident damsel in distress. Her character’s father, played by William Hurt, is the driven General Ross, determined to bring Banner in at all costs. Tim Roth is excellent as the mysterious Emil Bronsky, who eventually undergoes a similar mutation and ends up duking it out with Hulk. These characters make the most impact on the story and help drive it to the inevitably loud and special effects-laden finale. Thankfully, for the audience, it’s a fun trip.
Leterrier creates a very convincing world here, on a global scale, no less. The opening in Brazil is really inspired, all of which leads to a great chase sequence, with beautiful Brazil in the backdrop Hell, Brazil is utilized during the chase, as we see Banner jump through closely compacted houses and narrow pathways. Naturally, this chase sequence leads to the first appearance of the Hulk, who Leterrier kept in the dark purposely until the campus sequence later in the movie. But here, wow, Leterrier made the Hulk frightening. All we see is this large black figure, with green highlights, moving through the dark, and, boy, does that creature every look as intimidating as hell. No real surprise, though that when we actually see the Hulk in all his glory, he’s not as scary as he was in that great opening sequence.
Still, all in all, Leterrier has done a good job with the Hulk. The CGI looks good and, personally, I never expected the Hulk to look photo-realistic, especially with today’s standards for CGI. Still, he looks convincing enough on screen for me, even if, at times, I can’t help but get distracted by it from time to time. The Abomination, the other CGI creation, holds up alright too, though suffers from the same problems as the Hulk. Looks “real” enough to pass, but, at times, the CGI can get a bit distracting. Personally, it all works for me and I’m quite pleased with what I see on screen. Once the fists start flying, I’m sure viewers aren’t going to mind all that much.
Fans of the comics should be pleased, though. This comic adheres to the comic just as it does to the classic The Incredible Hulk TV show (and yes, the classic “Lonely Man” theme is in here, plus a cameo by Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby). We get references to quite a bit from the comics, included one scene seemingly adapted straight out of the classic Hulk: Gray series, a nod from The Ultimates, and a lot of tidbits from the Bruce Jones Return of the Monster storyline. Plus we get a pile of nods, from the always-awesome thunderclap, Samuel Sterns, and arguably the best Stan Lee cameo to date! What the film does make a point of doing is making Hulk a hero, specifically during the final battle, and it’s a smart move by Norton and Leterrier. Plus it also sets up establishes both Banner and the Hulk, and clearly defines their personalities, for future films. Besides, after seeing that final shot in the movie, I can’t help but get pumped about seeing the big Green Goliath on the big screen again in the future.
I also feel I should make special note of the score, composed by Craig Armstrong. It’s a solid piece of work that fits the movie like a glove. The score compliments the movie perfectly and is definitely something fans of the movie should seek out.
While The Incredible Hulk may have been overlooked this past summer, it’s probably one of the best Marvel films of the past couple of years. It’s definitely as solid as the recent Iron Man feature film, without a doubt. While not a blockbuster film, it still performed to the expectations of both Marvel and Universal, and hopefully they’ll consider future installments. Fans will not be disappointed by this movie, that I’m sure of. It has plenty of action, a good cast and story, and it’s pure fun from start to finish. It holds up remarkably well on repeated viewings, something I find most comic book movies are unable to do. To put it simply, The Incredible Hulk has everything you want, and nothing you don’t, so take a chance on this Jade Giant. The Incredible Hulk comes Highly Recommended!
Universal Home Entertainment has released the The Incredible Hulk one-disc regular DVD in the standard Amaray casing with no additional frills whatsoever, although we do get a batch of advertisement inserts.
The audio and video on this disc is quite incredible, pardon the pun. The audio is a real house-shaking affair. Both the quieter scenes come off crystal clear, as do the more action-packed action sequences. The scene on the campus, especially, is something to behold, especially with all the gun fire going off in multiple channels. I swear, at times, the sound sounded almost tangible. A really great audio transfer. The video is great, and is nearly DVD reference material. Everything is crystal clear and beautiful looking, although a shade dark, but easily a solid standard definition video transfer.
And now, the bonus material. Universal Home Entertainment has given The Incredible Hulk a fine release for the one-disc edition. The DVD contains a good commentary by director Letterier and actor Roth, with Norton unsurprisingly absent. The commentary provides mostly anecdotal and some behind the scenes information. The deleted scenes found here on the first disc is completely worth checking out. It provides a lot of background on questions fans may have had about what they saw in the film. I can see why these scenes were cut, as they would have slowed the pace, but these scenes are just as good, if not better, than the movie itself.
For those wondering, the alternate opening, with the “blink and you’ll miss it” cameo by Captain America, is not available on the one-disc regular release. You’ll need to pick up the Special Edition DVD or Blu-ray to get that scene.
The Incredible Hulk is a great movie, easily equal to Iron Man, and it definitely holds up on DVD. Universal Home Entertainment has really done the movie justice, and if you want just the movie, than the one-disc regular release is fine. But, if you want some great extras, then you should pick up the three-disc DVD release or the Blu-ray. While they likely should have mentioned, and maybe even rectified, the controversy surrounding Norton’s thoughts on the film, in the bonus features, perhaps we’ll see another home video release of The Incredible Hulk somewhere down the line, one approved by Norton. Still, the feature film itself is an action-packed spectacle that is sure to please longtime fans. It’s an exhilarating action-adventure that definitely deserves to find a bigger audience on home video. The Incredible Hulk is one of the best comic book movies to come out of the House of Ideas and is definitely Highly Recommended to add to your collection, but you may want to choose which of the three home video releases for The Incredible Hulk you’d like to add.
The Incredible Hulk arrives on single-disc DVD, three-disc DVD, and Blu-ray on October 21st, 2008. | <urn:uuid:ec2920c7-407b-4109-9a02-06aecc8c0223> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://popgeeks.com/the-incredible-hulk-dvd-review/ | 2018-11-14T20:16:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742263.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114191308-20181114212809-00057.warc.gz | en | 0.953832 | 2,398 |

The legendary pop icon Michael Jackson may have passed on, but his legacy remains alive and well. It was on August 29, 2014 that the King of Pop would’ve been 56 years old. For many that marks another turning point in the history of the icon. The star is not forgotten as his music and legacy continue to proliferate pop culture, including a new ad that features on of his most recent works being played within the realms of a “jeep” car commercial.
Michael’s Children Get Together
The children of the legendary singer recently got together for the first time in what may have been a very long time. Since the tragic death of the singer, his children have been at separate locations with each one doing their own thing as a result of several different issues. Paris, Blanket, and Prince, all took the death tough and it was Paris that attempted suicide at one point. The healing process continues over time, and she has spent the past year at a specialized school in Utah to help with the process. Despite the trouble, the children got together to celebrate their father’s legacy and life with a trip to Indiana for a special family moment.
Fans Still Mourn
Even though Michael Jackson is gone, his legendary status continues to build with memorabilia, music, and rereleases of his work. More so than ever before, collectors are looking to purchase and get a hold of all the pieces that make up the singer’s archives, and more. With such a rich tradition in music, you’ll find that fans aren’t ready to let go of the memory or impact that Jackson had on the world. His music lives on, despite a troubled past, and many naysayers that weren’t sure if he would ever make a comeback. His fans, children, family, and friends still remember the King of Pop, who would’ve been 56 this year. In recent months the Jackson family have been quiet, which is a sign of healing, no doubt. | <urn:uuid:2e26eb2e-4641-498b-898d-1f1bf769d5e5> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://michaeljackson.topbidswipe.com/tag/book-i/ | 2018-07-20T10:23:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591578.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20180720100114-20180720120114-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.979181 | 415 |

Black boys with epilepsy may have working memory issues but that doesn’t require any special magic to teach them.
“Be an advocate for your child. If you believe your child can do more speak up. If you feel that they are in a learning environment that is not a good fit for them speak up. You are your child’s voice.”, states a local Atlanta teacher and advocate for Black boys with epilepsy.
Traci Bryant has seen success with her son and Black boys she teaches by their growth in responding to questions or prompts that use the information they know.
She uses thematic teaching which engages Black boys in learning similar concepts and skills throughout the day in different capacities.
Black boys with epilepsy thrive on consistency and repetition. Thematic teaching provides students with an opportunity to receive and apply information in a variety of ways.
“Being a teacher and a parent of a Black boy with epilepsy has allowed me to help them find academic success!”
Assignments and instruction should focus more on recognition and less on retrieval of information.
This builds confidence for Black boy. It also demonstrates their level of understanding.
She told me in a recent interview that the best advice she could give a fellow parent would be to not compare your son to another Black boy.
It’s also important for teachers to remember that every child is different and epilepsy affects everyone differently.
Ms. Bryant believes it’s very important for parents to communicate with their child’s teacher frequently.
Discuss the challenges your child has and collaborate with them to ensure your child receives what they need.
Traci Bryant is a Science Teacher (K-2) and Summer Camp Director for Midtown International School
Jason has worked in education for over 15 years as a teacher, blogger and community advocate. He speaks and writes primarily about the need to improve education for Black boys, particularly increasing the number of Black male educators in schools. In addition to blogging here at EdLanta, Jason is also a featured writer at Education Post. | <urn:uuid:96366a40-c743-492f-b338-8f23ff51003d> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://edlanta.org/2018/12/theres-no-special-magic-needed-to-teach-black-boys-with-epilepsy/ | 2021-08-01T04:22:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154158.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20210801030158-20210801060158-00007.warc.gz | en | 0.965506 | 418 |

Josephine performed with Rapid Fire Theatre from 2011-2016. She got started in high school through the Canadian Improv Games at both the provincial and national level for four consecutive years.
What is your favorite?
TV Shows: Comedies would be Arrested Development and Clone High. Dramas are currently Game of Thrones and Skins.
Movies: I love too many movies, but I have watched Joe Wright’s Pride and Prejudice an embarrassing amount of times.
Actors: Ellen Page, why aren’t we friends? If you are reading this Ellen please be my friend!
Video Games: What are those?
Authors: J. K. Rowling, Stieg Larsson, Anthony Burgess, Philippa Gregory, Edgar Allan Poe.
Music: Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Websites: IMDB, tumblr, google… I will google anything and everything.
Food: I only like sushi.
Places to eat in Edmonton: Tokyo Noodle Shop is the best sushi ever. Go there. Oh yeah, and Remedy Café is awesome.
How did you get involved with Rapid Fire?
I competed in two High School Tournaments from grade 9-12 (The Nosebowl and the CIG). At the end of grade 12 I got invited to audition for Rapid Fire. I was also given the opportunity, along with a few other lucky guys, to go to Germany and participate in an Improv festival that summer sponsored by Rapid Fire. Needless to say, going on the trip was the best experience of my life. Thank you RFT!
What are the keys to a successful improv scene?
Establishing a solid platform. If you have a strong beginning to a story the ending will write itself. That and listening to your fellow Improvisers, you don’t want to miss any of their golden offers.
What are some tips you can offer audience members about giving suggestions to improvisers?
Give simple suggestions, those work best. You could also try giving a suggestion that would imply sentimental value. Like a trophy: who won it, and how did they win it? It’s probably important to them!
What do you like about short form vs. long form and vice versa?
Short form is amazing because it reminds you that no matter how good or bad a scene is, it’s done forever. It keeps your insecurities and your ego in check. But I have always been more of a long form fan. I find it more rewarding to do, and to watch. The pace allows the improvisers to relax and go more in depth with the story they are telling.
How would you describe your improv style?
Very narrative-heavy and introverted. I am always thinking of what the actual story is and how I could best tie up any loose ends.
What is your most memorable moment on stage?
Before we went to Germany, David Walker, Thomas Barnett, Ben Fitzpatrick and I did a fundraiser show. It was my first time ever doing a musical on stage and I stepped up and started singing first, the other guys thought it would be hilarious to walk off-stage and out of the theatre, and it was hilarious. Even though that night was nerve racking and full of risks, those guys showed me how fun improv could be.
What do you do for a day job?
I work at Remedy Café, come visit me! I’m also an English Student at the UofA.
How does improv come in handy in your day-to-day life?
It’s made me a more confident speaker, which is handy since I have always worked in customer service. It has also taught me to let go of things. If you do a night of bad improv it’s done forever, don’t think about it just move on to better things.

Ahead of the first session of the newly-constituted 17th Lok Sabha on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the role of an “active Opposition was important” adding that the “Opposition should not bother about their numbers”.
Modi further expressed hope that the Opposition will speak actively and participate in the house proceedings.
So far, the Congress has not named its leader in the Lok Sabha and no meeting has been held to decide the floor strategy.
After arriving at the Parliament for the first session of the 17th Lok Sabha, PM Modi said, “After several decades, a government has won an absolute majority for the second term. People have given us the chance to serve the country again.”
He further requested all the parties to support the decisions that are in favour of the country.
Besides Triple Talaq Bill, the bills likely to be introduced in the session are the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers Cadre) Bill and Aadhaar and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill 2019.
Earlier on Sunday, the BJP held its parliamentary party meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi assuring Indians that his government will be at the forefront of facilitating legislation that manifests the spirit of “sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas”.
After the ruling coalition’s meet on Sunday, he said the “NDA family” looks forward to fulfilling the dreams of 130 crore Indians, who have reposed “unparalleled faith” in the alliance.
Earlier, chairing an all-party meeting on Sunday, Modi invited heads of all parties to a meeting on June 19 to discuss the “one nation, one election” issue and other important matters.
Congress leaders Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and K Suresh attended the all-party meeting giving rise to speculation that one of the two may be named the party leader in the Lok Sabha. However, names of party MPs Manish Tewari and Shashi Tharoor are also doing the rounds.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invited Presidents of all political parties with representation in Parliament on June 19 and it remains to be seen if Rahul Gandhi will go for the meeting. | <urn:uuid:7814dfd5-10d8-4836-9bad-35bbb425b650> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.thestatesman.com/india/numbers-opposition-must-actively-participate-pm-modi-ahead-first-lok-sabha-session-1502766360.html | 2019-11-20T06:26:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670512.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20191120060344-20191120084344-00243.warc.gz | en | 0.95744 | 463 |
NEW HAVEN ― We are in the midst of a boom in popular economics: books, articles, blogs, public lectures, all followed closely by the general public.
I recently participated in a panel discussion of this phenomenon at the American Economic Association annual meeting in Denver. An apparent paradox emerged from the discussion: the boom in popular economics comes at a time when the general public seems to have lost faith in professional economists, because almost all of us failed to predict, or even warn of, the current economic crisis, the biggest since the Great Depression.
So, why is the public buying more books by professional economists?
The most interesting explanation I heard was that economics has become more interesting, because it no longer seems to be a finished and closed discipline. It is no fun to read a book or article that says that economic forecasting is best left to computer models that you, the general reader, would need a Ph.D. to understand.
And, in truth, the public is right: while there is a somewhat scientific basis for these models, they can go spectacularly wrong. Sometimes we need to turn off autopilot and think for ourselves, and when a crisis occurs, use our best human intellect.
The panelists all said, in one way or another, that popular economics facilitates an exchange between specialized economists and the broader public ― a dialogue that has never been more important. After all, most economists did not see this crisis coming in part because they had removed themselves from what real-world people were doing and thinking.
Successful popular economics involves the reader or listener, in some sense, as a collaborator. That, of course, means that economists must be willing to include new and original theories that are not yet received doctrine among professional specialists.
Until recently, many professional economists would be reluctant to write a popular book. Certainly, it would not be viewed favorably in considering a candidate for tenure or a promotion. Since it does not include equations or statistical tables, they would argue, it is not serious work that is worthy of scholarly attention.
Worse than that, at least until recently, a committee evaluating an economist would likely think that writing a popular economics book that does not repeat the received wisdom of the discipline might even be professionally unethical.
Imagine how the medical profession would view one of its members who recommended to the general public some therapy that had not yet passed scrutiny from the appropriate authorities. Medical professionals know how often seemingly promising new therapies turn out, after careful study, not to work, or even to be harmful. There is a rigorous process of scholarly review of proposed new therapies, associated with professional journals that uphold high research standards. Circumventing that process and promoting new, untested ideas to the general public is unprofessional.
In the decades prior to the current financial crisis, economists gradually came to view themselves and their profession in the same way, encouraged by research trends. For example, after 1960, when the University of Chicago started creating a Univac computer tape that contained systematic information about millions of stock prices, a great deal of scientific research on the properties of stock prices was taken as confirming the “efficient markets hypothesis.” The competitive forces that underlie stock exchanges were seen to force all securities prices to their true fundamental values. All trading schemes not based on this hypothesis were labeled as either misguided or outright frauds. Science had triumphed over stock-market punditry ― or so it seemed.
The financial crisis delivered a fatal blow to that overconfidence in scientific economics. It is not just that the profession didn’t forecast the crisis. Their models, taken literally, sometimes suggested that a crisis of this magnitude couldn’t happen.
One way to interpret this is that the economics profession was not fully accounting for the economy’s human element, an element that can’t be reduced to mathematical analysis.
The relatively few professional economists who warned of the current crisis were people, it seems, who not only read the scholarly economics literature, but also brought into play more personal judgment: intuitive comparisons with past historical episodes; conclusions about speculative trading, price bubbles, and the stability of confidence; evaluations of the moral purposes of economic actors; and impressions that complacency had set in, lulling watchdogs to sleep.
These were judgments made by economists who were familiar with our business leadership ― their inspirations, beliefs, subterfuges, and rationalizations. Their views could never be submitted to a scholarly journal and evaluated the way a new medical procedure is. There is no established scientific procedure that could prove their validity.
Of course, economics is in many ways a science, and the work of our scholars and their computer models really does matter. But, as the economist Edwin R. A. Seligman put it in 1889, “Economics is a social science, i.e., it is an ethical and therefore an historical science….It is not a natural science, and therefore not an exact or purely abstract science.”
To me, and no doubt to the other panelists, part of the process of pursuing the inexact aspects of economics is speaking honestly to the broader public, looking them in the eye, learning from them, reading the emails they send, and then searching one’s soul to decide whether one’s favored theory is really close to the truth.

In this 2-minute read, we discover one of the World’s most expensive palaces and why people
prefer their own simpler home comforts.
Close your eyes and imagine the palace of your dreams.
On second thoughts, don’t close your eyes because you won’t be able to read the rest of this
Right then, when you think of palaces the one which springs to mind for many people in the UK,
and indeed the World is Buckingham Palace.
Truly a place fit for a Queen. And here’s why.
Queen Elizabeth’s London home is worth between £1billion and £2 billion depending on what
internet source you look at.
Quite a difference in opinion but one thing is for sure, and that’s with the following features and
benefits – Buckingham Palace is up there with the most desirable residences in the World.
The palace has 775 rooms. That includes 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 78
bathrooms, 19 staterooms and 78 bathrooms.
And if that wasn’t enough to gain a Royal seal of approval it also boasts a cinema, swimming pool,
post office, police station, clinic and even a cash machine.
The latter, we find a little ironic as we’ve always been led to believe the Queen doesn’t carry cash.
But according to a survey carried out last year among 2000 homeowners across the UK, you
don’t need gold plated taps to make a home comfortable.
The survey, carried out by a hotel company, listed 50 things people said were truly home
And in our experience, the findings ring true.
Here are the top ten:-
1. Your bed
2. A proper night’s sleep
3. Home-cooked food
4. Comfortable sofa
5. Family around you
6. Your favourite film or TV programme
7. A cup of tea
8. Getting into your comfy clothes
9. Your own toilet
We’d probably add reliable, fast broadband to the list.
What would you add?
We love helping people in Salcombe, Devon and the surrounding area find homes where they feel at their best.
So, if you are thinking of buying or selling get in touch with us.
While we can’t promise you a palace, we will do all we can to treat you royally.
Thanks for reading.

I can’t remember when I stopped watching new episodes of “The Simpsons” every Sunday night, but it had to be at least 12 years ago. There was a time when I was a true follower of Matt Groening and company’s show, repeating lines to my friends as often as these guys (READ IT). But even after the majority of my young life kneeling at the “Don’t Have A Cow, Man” altar, I fell out of the habit.
Part of that is that I agree with a lot of the common criticisms of where the show is now. It’s less character-focused. The plots have grown more “ADHD” (though it hasn’t slid quite into “Family Guy” levels of non-sequitur gags). They lost their best writer in John Swartzwelder and their best producers in Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein. And generally, after 24 seasons and a decent movie, there just isn’t as much life to be drawn out of the series anymore.
Still. Unlike some folks who abandoned the show entirely, I kept half and eye on “The Simpsons” over the years. I watch it while making dinner since it’s always on around 6:00 whatever city you’re in. And after a really fallow period, I started to catch the occasional episode that was actually, genuinely funny from the most recent years.
And then tonight while eating a hamburger, I watched a rerun of the episode “The Book Job” which originally aired almost exactly a year ago.
Hoooooollllllleeeee. That was GREAT.
Of course, I’m biased on this one. The episode featured Neil Gaiman, a writer whose work I greatly enjoy – particularly when I discovered him through comics before he became know across the country as “Award-Winning Children’s Author Neil Gaiman.” And as such, the story involved a ton of winking joke references to his specific work (Sez Moe: “I don’t care if he wrote ‘Sandman Volume One, Preludes and Nocturnes!’”). I expected as much when I missed the episode last year, but I never really picked up on the story of “The Book Job.”
And it was the whole story that really hit home for me. The episode revolves around Lisa’s learning that her favorite tween fantasy series wasn’t penned by the author who’s personal story so touched her. Instead, the series was cranked out by a corporation who write YA novels by committee. The authors on the back covers are all actors, the text written by teams of recent college graduates desperate to pay off their student loans:
I’m sure just by looking at this blog, you can see why this plot hit home for me. And while the rapid-fire jokes ratcheted up wonderfully as Bart and Homer build a team to crank out their own YA series about a pair of lost prince troll brothers who go to a private school located under the Brooklyn Bridge and Lisa committed herself to writing a novel the right way (i.e. procrastinating at every available opportunity and getting nothing done), the total effect of the episode was a satire of writers who stupidly give up their rights to corporate interests.
Because, you guys…THIS IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME IN OUR BUSINESS NOW.
For years, one of my biggest drums to beat in the children’s/YA lit world is a call to arms on the issue of real ownership vs. work for hire. As a fan involved in and then a freelance journalist for the comics industry, the story of creators being screwed over their rights by publishers is one I’ve heard over and over again. The sale of Superman from Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster to DC Comics is rightly viewed as comics original sin. And aside from making for lawsuits that are still entrenched and personally painful to read about today, the history associated with that event serves as an object lesson to creative people working in idioms ripe for media adaptation.
Comics was an industry run by greedy, exploitative publishers from day one thanks to its connection to the now dead pulp industries. But now in an age where corporate owned comic characters make billions in movie and licensing, the world of book publishing – and kids books in particular – has picked up on the Work For Hire contract practices pioneered by shifty, untrustworthy comics companies to feed books stands, TV stations and movie theaters with profit-maximizing “Intellectual Properties.” (ugh…that term chills the spine)
The kingpins of this practice are “Alloy Entertainment” – a company formerly known by the more accurate name “Alloy Media + Marketing” (yes, they really used the plus). Best known for “Gossip Girl” and their similar scads of teen novel series turned basic cable dramas, Alloy is probably the most untrustworthy, exploitative publisher in any book market today (no surprise then that they were recently bought out by DC Comics owners Warner Bros!).
If you haven’t already, you should read New York Magazine’s exposé on Alloy’s partnership with cretinous author/known literary fraud/Oprah buffoon James Frey. It’s a real horror story. And even deals at Alloy that aren’t necessarily built on predatory practices like the Gossip Girl franchise (whose TV show I’ll cop to watching for many years) created by former Alloy Editor Cecily von Ziegesar have a tendency to screw over the writer in one way or another.
But more often than not, signing with a firm like Alloy just means that they’ll screw you as hard as they can when the opportunity to do both that and make a ton of money for themselves comes along. Take the case of writer L.J. Smith who created the best-selling Vampire Diaries franchise for Alloy ahead of the current vampire craze and THEN came back to give them more volumes so they could capitalize on the mass of Twilight fans who cropped up in the past five years.
As Smith explained in a recent interview:
When they sent the contract, it said it was a work for hire. What it meant was I was giving up basically all the rights I’d have as a normal writer, including the right to continue writing my books. And Alloy Entertainment decided they wanted shorter books that were promoting the television series, and they simply informed me, even though I had already written a book called Phantom for them and given them all the information for that book and the next book, Moonsong, that my services were no longer required.
Shocker, right? I try not to mock writers who work for this company because, like the Devil did with Daniel Webster, I’m sure the people they first met from Alloy were all smiles when they were signing the contracts. But stories like this – stories of disenfranchisement and summary dismissals and an unwarranted loss of creative control after making them millions with your talent – should be told again and again in our industry until Alloy is shamed into collapsing.
No, that may not happen any time soon if ever, but as a writer, it’s up to you to know your rights and avoid people who would exploit you unfairly. Even if you make the big bucks at first from an ABC Family TV series, the pain of having your work ripped from your hands will be much worse than a modest paycheck up front. And in real life, you don’t get to team up with Neil Gaiman in an “Ocean’s Eleven” style scheme to ensure the book your company publishes meets your original vision. You’re simply shown the door.
Meanwhile, people who safeguard their rights and do wonderful, even commercial work for their own edification are doing just fine in the bank. People like Matt Groening who’s controlled merchandising for “The Simpsons” since its inception as well as full creative control over the franchise. It doesn’t just empower him to make the money. It enables him to speak the truth. | <urn:uuid:9d38320f-2499-4b72-abf1-74b8536a7111> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://kielphegley.com/all-i-really-need-to-know-i-learned-on-the-simpsons/ | 2015-10-09T12:11:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737929054.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221849-00102-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971119 | 1,718 |

from Zen Gardner:
The word convict is often used in the legal system to identify people who have been found “guilty” of a crime and is serving a sentence in prison. What most people do not know about the word convict is that there is a deeper meaning to this word. Its deeper meaning is used by the Dark Forces and their minions to mock people who were in prison or are serving a sentence in prison. After reading this article, you will know the occult definition of convict and why the legal system likes to use this word to mock convicts.
The overt definition of convict is “a person proved or declared guilty of an offense.” This definition only defines the word convict at the surface level. To find the deeper meaning of the word convict, you need to split the word into two words “con-vict” and switch them around. When you do this, the words become “vict-con”.
The Occult Definition of Convict
The prefix “vict” comes from the Latin root word vict, meaning “conquer.” It is related to the root word vinc. This is where we get the word victim from. The definition of victim is “a person who is deceived or cheated, as by his or her own emotions or ignorance, by the dishonesty of others, or by some impersonal agency” or “a person or animal sacrificed or regarded as sacrificed”.
To connect the dots, a “con-vict” or “vict-con” is a victim of a con who has been conquered and deceived due to his or her ignorance. This is the covert or occult definition of convict. So, what is the con? The con is the legal system. Convicts are victims of the con known as the legal system.
The legal system is a fraud because it is based on presumption and is run by a bunch of criminals that are using it to con people to pay them money, and therefore it is a con system. Most people who are in prison are in prison because they have been conned by the legal system. The legal system mocks them by calling them convicts. Are you starting to see the big picture here?

In an age where photography is ubiquitous, an engaged travel photographer uses their curiosity and camera to delve beyond the surface to reveal the essence of a place. We venture off of the beaten path, engage in authentic interactions with locals, and strike a balance between informed planning and openness to serendipity. By simply having the curiosity to explore, new worlds will unfold before our lenses.
San Miguel de Allende is a well-known travel destination, but during our five-day expedition, we slow down, connect with the rhythms of everyday life, and discover its secrets. Using the city as our muse, we develop travel stories and spend part of each day photographing in the field, focusing on human connections to build upon those stories. In the classroom, participants receive daily feedback from Krista in one-on-one and group critiques.
Krista’s experience on both sides of the photo editing desk gives her a unique perspective, and she generously shares strategies for researching and preparing for an assignment, honing visual skills, and creating compelling images that tell a story. She also imparts her self-promotion strategies (especially concerning social media) and discusses approaches for distributing work.
By week’s end, you know how to make photographs smartly, efficiently, and more creatively, and you return home with an engaging visual narrative that captures the spirit of this magical Mexican town.

The secular lives that most of us lead, no matter what our faith (or lack of it), can often keep us from seeking tough answers to hard questions. We have no absolute standards for guidance. We're more likely to blur the issues, no matter how well meaning, by appeals to what's practical, what works, what's cost-effective, what suits our politics, and what suits our open society. Most of all, it's about what suits us.
Two issues before us today focus on questions that men and women of good faith debate with less than absolute judgment. Opinion gets mixed up in the political process. The answers don't come easily.
Congress last week enacted a prohibition on what has become known as "partial-birth abortion." It's a cruel process, one that kills the baby as it emerges from its mother's body and the doctor crushes the baby's head and applies an instrument that sucks out the brain. It's easy to oppose such a horrific procedure, though the debate gets bogged down in legalisms over whether a doctor should be able to kill the baby if medically necessary to save the mother.
Those at the extremes of the argument move quickly into the politics of abortion. Will this legislation infringe on a woman's right to choose? Is it a positive step for pro-life forces, who oppose all abortions? But these are the wrong questions. The grotesque cruelty of the procedure makes it necessary to ban it; a late abortion exception of a more benign nature should be limited to the health of the mother. Why can't something as elemental as that be described clearly and plainly?
When the courts legalized abortion, proponents of Roe vs. Wade never imagined the extreme barbarity of partial-birth abortion. We must stand firmly against it. This is not a pro-choice or pro-life issue, but about a vile method of death that we cannot allow.
Other answers are not nearly so clear-cut. In Florida, legislators debated another life issue, whether Terri Schiavo, who has lived in a vegetative state for 15 years, should be deprived of the feeding tube that keeps her alive. She left no document saying what her choice would be; her husband says she would want to die. He sought to have the feeding tube withdrawn and the courts agreed after five years of litigious haggling.
Mrs. Schiavo's parents, who see life behind their daughter's eyes, say she responds to the soothing voice of her mother. They believe that her life offers hope and want to continue feeding her. They lost the battle in the courts.
But once the court order was obeyed and the feeding tube was withdrawn, the Florida legislature hastily enacted a law directing that the tube be applied once more, and Gov. Jeb Bush quickly enforced the law.

On Demand Help?
I fell asleep last night while watching Cold Justice (the Oxygen channel) via On Demand. It's a 43 minute episode and I watched 30 minutes of it before falling asleep on the couch. I woke up and the show was over.
So I got up this morning, figuring I'd watch the last 13 minutes (or so) of the show, to see how it ended. But it won't let me fast forward to the part where I fell asleep. I tried everything, including pressing SHIFT + the arrow key.
Help!? I don't want to watch the entire program, again. I just want to watch the end.

Donald Trump may have a content management problem.
That might seem strange to say about someone who has run an unprecedented political campaign whereby he is the source of sound bites and social media snaps that have dominated successive news cycles. But according to Politico, the presumptive Republican nominee and relentless self-promoter is having trouble getting people to speak at the forthcoming party convention.
The showcase event in Cleveland begins on July 18 is and is supposed to present the coalescing of the party around its chosen standard bearer. But this may seem a distant possibility given that many in the GOP hierarchy are saying they won’t speak or even attend, and some may be replaced with a slate of sports stars and celebrities instead. It looks like the convention may be a potential messaging mish-mash, presenting an image of disunity and superficiality.
Trump’s daughter Ivanka said the convention won’t be “ho-hum”. Like most things about the campaign, that’s certainly true. But whether this kind of carnival-like infomercial will help get across an idea of him as a serious world leader-in-waiting is another question.
One speaker who may still show up is Senator Ted Cruz, the last Republican to fall to Trump in the primaries. Former Cruz aide Jason Miller recently joined Trump’s campaign as director of communications and in a sign of the content-focused political times, swiftly deleted his previous tweets attacking his new boss.
Trump’s personal brand outreach is built on name recognition and the idea that, as Oscar Wilde wrote in The Picture of Dorian Gray, the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. It’s largely impossible for him to be anything other than who he is and, despite attempts to appear like a more conventional politician – “Teleprompter Trump” he’s being called – it is the blunt Trump that Republican voters seem to want.
Distribution sweet spot
In the primaries, Trump’s free media bonanza allowed him to bypass traditional ad channels to market his message. But now there are questions over his campaign finance situation entering the general election, making the control and effective use of content marketing – both proactively and reactively – even more important than in previous elections.
And with national polls showing their candidate trailing to expected Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, the challenge now for RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and House Speaker Paul Ryan, who will ostensibly preside over the convention, is how to distinguish the Trump brand from the broader Republican brand.
At stake regardless of the outcome of the White House race are down-ballot contests that will determine control of both houses of congress – and the impact of having Trump at the top of their ticket is worrying Republicans. As NBC news reports:
“Here’s what’s going to happen for you every day,” Republican strategist and fiery Trump critic Rick Wilson said. “Do you agree with this utterly racist whack-job thing? Do you agree? The Democrats are going to run ads against these guys without mercy.”
Yet as has been widely reported, both expected nominees are historically unpopular, providing a challenge for their content and message strategies.
YouTube channels and news sites
One of Hillary Clinton’s most successful message distribution methods has been through her YouTube channel and The Briefing, a clearing house for her news, statements and popular ads – both TV and online.
As the Democrats prepare for their own convention in Philadelphia – the week after Cleveland – her opponent Bernie Sanders is still technically hanging on, holding back on an endorsement. His campaign news site Democracy Daily runs stories covering the populist themes of his “revolution” and – interestingly – barely mentions Mrs Clinton.
But the opposition messages against the expected Democratic nominee are already ramping up, both from the Trump campaign and outside groups.
Trump launched a website called LyingCrookedHillary.com. (Her campaign’s equivalent is ArtoftheSteal.biz a play on his book title Art of the Deal. Cleverly, ArtoftheSteal.com directs to a Fox News article on how Trump “fights back”.)
Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association just bought more than $2million worth of ads in battleground states – such as the convention sites Ohio and Pennsylvania – against Clinton in the wake of the Benghazi Report.
And the ongoing FBI investigation over the former Secretary of State’s personal email use will continue to be fodder for pro-Trump ads and messages using hashtags like #anythingforpower.
Email junk mail
To illustrate just how multi-faceted this content campaign is, Trump this week fell foul of a somewhat lower-profile marketing channel, the humble email list.
Not only did a lot of his fundraising emails “get filtered out as junk”, according to Yahoo Finance, but his campaign prompted complaints to the FEC (Federal Election Commission) by soliciting foreign politicians.
It’s illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to American political campaigns, and Trump and his advisers surely know that. It may have been accidental, but whatever the explanation it appears there are questions to be answered about the lists the campaign is apparently using.
On a lighter note, one piece of cute political content that went viral this week was a public service video by BuzzFeed featuring President Obama attempting “five things tougher than registering to vote”.
FirstWord’s Steve McGookin first covered a US presidential election in 1988 and says that this one is easily the most fascinating yet. He’ll be writing here regularly about political ads and the candidates’ media-messaging strategies until election day in November. | <urn:uuid:1b9c8b08-196d-4814-b22a-86f486d9f8f7> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://www.firstword.co.uk/dark-side-content-marketing-revealed-us-election/ | 2018-08-20T00:52:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221215487.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20180820003554-20180820023554-00092.warc.gz | en | 0.957781 | 1,171 |
Search Engine Marketing consists of organic search results and paid search results. One of the most popular paid search strategies is Google Ad Words. It is an effective small business SEO tool to help drive traffic to your small business website.
What is Google AdWords?
Google AdWords is Google’s advertising system in which advertisers bid on certain keywords in order for their “clickable” ads to appear in Google’s search results.
Does AdWords Work?
It all depends on your keyword strategy. Specifically, the competitiveness of these keywords you’re bidding for and the relevancy of the keyword for your company. Generally speaking, Google AdWords are extremely effective for any business, as long as they don’t waste their money on the wrong keywords, or write bad ads.
Thanks to WordStream.com, this Infographic will help you understand how AdWords works. It describes the “bidding-process” which is paramount in determining the cost-per-click. | <urn:uuid:32bf2155-c56a-4676-a14f-8365bc9e5d9b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://www.giantmarketingsolutions.ca/small-business-seo-tool/ | 2022-10-05T06:00:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337537.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005042446-20221005072446-00308.warc.gz | en | 0.906652 | 207 |

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about Australia being the ‘lucky country’. Although it remains so, I write this week with sense that the party is over. Below I list two realties that dominate this sense, both have come with tsunami-like force taking all in their path.
1. As I write I am flying over the worst floods in Queensland in decades. For extreme contrast, I have left behind what is being described as the worst peace-time disaster in Australia’s history … bushfires that became fire storms, taking whole towns as they roared through the state.
2. It seems everyone I talk to is experiencing ‘reduced head counts’ at work. The speed and severity of the economic spiral is frightening …
I lament the lost opportunities the government’s stimulus package represents. We got into this mess because we have been living beyond our means; how does putting more cash in people’s hands solve the problem? And what an extraordinary opportunity to invest in infrastructure for the future, in particular the new energy technologies that will both help us meet our obligations to reduce CO2 emissions and kick start a new economy. C’mon Kevin.
But front of mind today is the numbing loss associated with the fires. For the first time ever our family sat in the lounge room, gathered around the radio. As the disaster unfolded it was hard to stop listening to the emergency services network.
It had a strange eeriness for us because we had been in the area of one of the major blazes on Saturday as the drama developed. As we drove out back to Melbourne via detours not in place hours before, we witnessed the breakout of fires, flames just a couple of hundred metres from the road being fanned by the searing wind in 46 degree heat. . We were concerned for the 100 odd people at a wedding we left behind … but were relieved Sunday morning to hear they had been evacuated after playing the frightening game of waiting, while the smoke blackened skies and orange glow surrounded them.
Too real. Too close. But for many, too close became worse. Earlier this year I wrote an obituary piece for Sir Ebia Oleware who died suddenly … no one saw the great man’s end coming.
Over this last weekend, there were great people and great towns that met their end with sudden ferocity. Stories have begun to emerge of people who chose to stay and defend who saved their homes. But the dominant narrative seems to be that the rage of the flames made a mockery of the intention to fight. I wonder if the wisdom of staying to defend will come under question with already the loss of life over 100 people.
When you do a job like mine you spend a lot of time in Marysville. Ninety minutes from Melbourne via one of the great Australian drives through the Black Spur it was a mecca for Conference Centres, craft shops, cafes and holiday retreats. By Sunday afternoon Marysville was no more. The images of charred streets are numbing … how must it be for those that have lost loved ones, homes and memories?
It has made me rethink my understanding of resilience. I’ve thought of resilience being about resistance, being able to withstand the onslaughts life offers. But sometime what life offers cannot be withstood. ‘Tsunamis’ smash us. Perhaps resilience is about what we have that allows us to cultivate seeds of life that emerge from the rubble. | <urn:uuid:9b6ecf6f-177a-475d-b599-c64b2301e068> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://colduthie.com/2009/02/09/sudden-death-the-partys-over/ | 2021-04-22T01:04:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039554437.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20210421222632-20210422012632-00220.warc.gz | en | 0.971752 | 716 |

You need to have the right persuasive selling skills in order to close any deals for your future employer.
Many business owners who have a sales department are always looking for salespeople who are able to help them close numerous deals. They will normally start by listing the main criteria that they want in the salespeople. Therefore, if you are looking to apply for a sales position, you should sit down and talk to sales recruiters or experts in the sales hiring process, as they are able to help you get through the interviews or teach you more about how to close deals.
In addition, they are able to explain the various types of sales positions, the goals that companies generally have, and many others. In short, you need to have the right persuasive selling skills in order to close any deals for your future employer. Below you will find three selling skills that can help you close deals much easier:
When you approach a client, you need to know what he or she is looking for. You need to find out what he or she needs in order to be satisfied with a particular product or service. Once you have everything in order, you need to present your product or service as the remedy. This is a great way to ensure your client gets what he or she needs and wants. Take as much time as you need to ensure your service or product is the remedy your client has been waiting for.
Experts say that salespeople, who are able to talk losses, and not gains, tend to achieve the best possible results. Instead of telling the potential clients what they will achieve by using your products, your salespeople should inform them what they will lose if they are not using them. If your salespeople have this skill, how will it actually help your company?
This particular skill works for various sales departments, because the pain of losing a particular thing or feeling that the clients already have is a lot more intense compared to the contentment of gaining something they do not have. This is where most insurance agents approach it incorrectly, as they often present insurance as a gain. Normally, you will hear that the policy allows you to have peace of mind, but the better approach would be to tell you what you stand to lose by not buying the insurance policy.
If your salespeople keep talking about losses, they effectively disrupt the clients’ comfort zones, and provide them with the motivation to take action. One of these persuasive selling skills is to paint a picture of what your clients already have but might stand to lose.
When one is uncertain about what product to purchase, one often looks to the behavior of other people, especially the experts, to verify what course of action to follow. This is why people often see print or television advertisements that claim, “Three out of four medical practitioners recommend…”, which is a great strategy to use; consequently, you need to find experts who have high opinions of your products and services. Ensure that your salespeople share these experts’ testimonials and advertise awards that your company may have earned.
At the same time, do not forget to share comments from your satisfied clients. When employers are hiring salespeople, they need to ensure that they are able to convince their prospects that their products or services are tried and true by showing them that various experts have acknowledged them as the best.

Lucky you… a second thought download from me in a day… but then you have been patient over Christmas. A quality vital to get you through this one, but bear with me:
In the same way that I never intended this to be a political blog, it is not also a religious blog. However the two so often go hand in hand, especially in America, and especially in an election year, and are often inescapable. It is this connection, not the arguments themselves per se, that I have been thinking about.
This all stemmed from a discussion in the local with a good friend and self-confessed ‘anti Goddist.’ (He would probably spell God without a capital letter, and do check out his blog) (And by including a capital I know I have broken the intention of my opening paragraph… but lets press on before we all end up in a vortex of indecision, grammar, and syntax.)
My friend told me about a recent clip he had watched by Penn Jillette, one half of the Penn and Teller entertainment duo, that discusses the current Republican Party candidates, their religious affiliations, and presents Penn’s atheist view on the interface between religion and politics in the US. It really is well worth a watch. I am not sure why Penn has been chosen to present this case, but he is certainly rational, reasoned, thoughtful, and passionate about the subject. The clip forms part of a bank of ‘interviews’ and pieces on the Big Think site. If you are not accustomed with this site, please leave my humble ramblings right now, go to it, and rummage about there. It’s much better than any talking animals or the like you will find on here.
Penn presents his thoughts on the major Republican candidates in the current race to fight Obama for the White House. He is noticeable silent on Gingrich, and Santorum, but has some real fun with Bachmann, and claims that “Michelle Bachmann’s blasphemy is greater than anything I have ever accomplished.”
It is pretty frightening that she not only has the self belief to think that voters will be swayed by her beliefs, but is also not hauled over the political coals for claiming that earthquakes and hurricanes were God’s way of getting politicians attention; using human suffering, and God’s wrath to support and promote a candidate that champions ‘Christian values’ is a very round about, and frankly a reductio ad absurdum approach. (It does rather take the writings of CS Lewis to an absurd and literal level… his Problem of Pain is one of the best books on Christian philosophy I have ever read, and his ability to weave words precedes his religious writings.)
On a separate point it is an interesting difference between the here and our American friends how abortion always becomes a prominent theme during the Republican caucuses, but is rarely, if at all, mentioned in the British election debates. In the states the topic seems to then rather melt away once the Presidency is announced… but again, for more on this see the blog mentioned earlier.
Penn accounts how 30 – 40 years ago religion was not seen as a politically motivating factor, and claims that no sensible candidate would ever have described themselves as a Baptist, Catholic, or Protestant, for fear of the support of other factions shying away. Today however, his argument goes, because we now use the umbrella term ‘Christian,’ it has become accountable, mandatory even, to bring God into the polling booth.
IMHO, he is right in general terms, I am not sure I agree with his historical claims… Woodrow Wilson was an ardent Presbyterian, indeed his father was a Presbyterian minister and professor of theology. Hoover was a Quaker and there was a national debate at the time of his inauguration as to how he would swear the Presidential Oath (given that Quakers don’t swear oaths.) Kennedy was a Catholic who often spoken openly about his religion, and Jimmy Carter continued to teach in a Baptist Sunday school and serve as a deacon in his local church while he was President. I think it might be a better theory than practice, and religion (and by this I mean the President’s individual beliefs and affiliations, not a general ‘Christianity’ as Penn claims) has been a major player in US politics for generations. His idea that the ‘Christian’ candidates are in death throws, and that it is now impossible to avoid main stream culture, philosophy, and influences, are however right on the nail.
He also has a good old dig at the Iowa caucus winner (by the narrowest of margins) Mitt Romney, and here he is not only funny, but has a more serious point. Penn reminds us that Romney is a Mormon, and wears magic underwear! “[Romney] believes that a convicted conman, got golden tablets that no-one else could see, and sat with an angel to find out that the original Jews of the Bible were living in North America.” It is true that all this is only slightly removed from talking snakes, virgin births, and burning bushes, I know, but great fun none the less. Do check out this link to get your own magic pants… I know what I want for Christmas next year!
Penn asks how on some level Mitt Romney does not sit down and say, “Yer, you know, there weren’t actually original Jews living in North America..,” and if he doesn’t then he is actually “bug-nutty bat-shit crazy!” All he asks for in his exasperated tones is for any of the candidates and politicians generally to stand up and say, some of these beliefs I profess are bug-nutty bat-shit crazy, but I am not. Penn believes that they are all moral people, who have family values, but who are speaking in a code for which he has not been given the key.
His final diatribe is against those that claim that they take the Bible as the word of God, and take it literally. On this, he is spot on. There is not a lot I can add to his angry bewilderment, and it’s a frightening feature of religion on both sides of the pond that there are an increasing number of people who believe this, but who also are comfortable about professing it. I know we all have religious freedom, and freedom of expression, but believing someone should be stoned for working on the Sabbath, or will go to hell for mixing cotton with linen cloths is pretty far out in my opinion. For what its worth.
So, go and check out the video linked, the comments alone are priceless. It’s not only thoughtful but also, how many British comedians would use the word “solipsistic” on TV? Oh, and here is the talking animal that I promised you… it’s brilliant! | <urn:uuid:dfef3e76-09a5-4575-af88-78b19be21451> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://timmyatt.com/tag/michelle-bachmann/ | 2020-02-23T03:35:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145746.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200223032129-20200223062129-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.975394 | 1,433 |

I have always been interested in family history and have been very fortunate in that I have a head start. I was given a family tree of my father's side of the family the WEST family of the East Lindsey area of Lincolnshire England, dating back to 1757. I am particularly interested in my 3xGt.Grandmother, Susannah who was a widow when she married Christopher West on 31st March 1789. Her widowed name was Foster but as yet I have been unable to trace her original maiden name. She was born in 1757 being 10 years older than Christopher, so it is possible that her marriage to Mr. Foster would have been sometime between 1773 and 1788. The parish record of her marriage to Christopher shows that she was living in the parish of BRINKHILL at the time the banns were read and where they were married and lived for the first 10 years or so of their long married life(nearly 50 years). I must add the reason for my particular interest is that my own wedding anniversary falls on March 31st!

Unanswered: locking issues, access 2k3 w/ win2k3 server
I'm seeing some strange things here, since we upgraded our file servers from win2K server to win2k3 server.
Databases that were once usable by multiple users (3-5), without any locking conflicts, seem to experience constant locking conflicts.
Even a project of my own, which is only usd by 2users aside myself, has locking issus. As if the entire database is locked rather than the individual table or record.
Queries are - as always - primarily optimistic / dynamic, and haven't been changed for ages.. so I'm really in a fuzz here.
Most of the databases are all very small, (< 2 mb).
Any ideas / suggestions?

Plantar fasciitis can be very painful and can hold you back from participating in the activities you love. At Crossroads Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we're proud to provide plantar fasciitis pain relief in Savannah for the hundreds of individuals who are struggling with this common condition every year in our community.
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation and irritation of the thick band of tissue running along the underside of your foot and forming your arch (called the plantar fascia). This irritation is due to micro-tears in the tissue and may lead to or be correlated with small bony overgrowths called heel spurs located on your heel bone (calcaneus).
If you have plantar fasciitis, you'll know it, as this condition can be quite painful and uncomfortable. Symptoms are often worse first thing upon rising out of bed in the morning or upon standing after sitting for a while. People with plantar fasciitis typically complain of achy and tender pain on the underside of the foot, right in front of the heel.
Any tissue in the body is susceptible to inflammatory damage if overworked or strained. Plantar fasciitis can happen to anyone, but is generally more likely to occur in people who are:
Plantar fasciitis responds quite well to chiropractic care, and a variety of people have found natural and effective relief for their foot pain in Savannah at our facility. Here are a few things our Savannah chiropractor can do if you or a loved one has plantar fasciitis:

Holistic medicine is becoming increasingly common in human health care. The appeal lies in the practitioner's efforts to treat the entire individual, both mind and body, rather than the ailment alone. Not surprisingly, a growing number of veterinarians have incorporated alternative and complementary therapies into their practices.
Dr. Peter J. Pascoe took up this controversial topic in his lecture, examining whether acupuncture, homeopathy, magnetic field therapy, and several other alternative techniques are useful for controlling animal pain. Dr. Pascoe is a professor of veterinary anesthesiology at the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California-Davis, and is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesiologists and the European College of Veterinary Anesthesia.
For the veterinarian, Dr. Pascoe said, the first welfare issue concerning the use of alternative techniques is whether they control pain. Few scientific data exist on clinical efficiency of alternative techniques in animals, he said, with much of the information largely derived from human literature.
Acupuncture is the best researched and most effective alternative method for providing analgesia for surgery, according to Dr. Pascoe. Although there is no doubt that acupuncture stimulation does increase the pain threshold, clinical data for the efficacy of acupuncture in the management of clinical pain are less convincing. The National Institutes of Health and British Medical Association have examined the evidence for the efficacy of acupuncture and found benefits in a few conditions, such as postoperative dental pain and nausea, but they did not examine acupuncture's clinical relevance for animals.
Nutrition is often emphasized by holistic practitioners and other veterinarians as affecting health and disease. There is a correlation between the amount of food eaten and the development of osteoarthritis of the hips, and between body weight in animals and a predisposition to hip dysplasia. What's more, animals on a restricted diet have some decrease in lameness as they lose weight. Overnutrition during growth has also been shown to cause problems in giant-breed dogs and other species.
In addition, n-3 fatty acids and other dietary supplements are increasingly used to manage such painful conditions as arthritis.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine more than 200 years old. The idea is similar to that of vaccination, Dr. Pascoe explained: low concentrations of a substance are prescribed to a patient to stimulate the body to eliminate signs induced by that substance at high concentrations. The problem with this treatment for Western science is that homeopathic remedies are thought to be more potent the more they are diluted, when in traditional medicine, the opposite is true.
Dr. Pascoe said there are few published studies with homeopathy being used to manage pain, but there is some evidence for its efficacy in people. He has been unable, however, to locate placebo-controlled veterinary studies on the use of homeopathy for pain management.
Herbalists believe certain herbs and plants are of therapeutic value because of their unique combination of ingredients. Randomized, controlled trials of herbal remedies have been published, and some positive effects have been reported. But because herbs are not regulated as strictly as drugs are, practitioners must be sure that suppliers adhere to stringent standards of authenticity and preparation.
Chiropractic is a relatively new discipline to veterinary medicine and is based on manual manipulation of the spine. The belief is that many diseases and disorders are caused by a dysfunction of the spinal column. There is a good deal of evidence that chiropractic is effective for treating human back problems. A major challenge for establishing chiropractic as a credible treatment is the difficulty in providing a placebo effect against which results can be measured. Reports of chiropractic's efficacy in veterinary medicine are largely anecdotal, Dr. Pascoe said. More research and formal training is likely, with the recent creation of the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association.
Magnetic field therapy has been around for many years. Two types of magnets are used: static magnets and electromagnets. The former can be applied to the skin, whereas the latter require a source of electricity. In human medicine, pulsed electromagnetic fields have been used to treat a range of conditions, from fractures to chronic skin ulcers, and have helped reduce pain. A recent preliminary study in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy found that dogs given morphine and magnetic therapy had lower pain scores than those receiving morphine or magnetic therapy alone, but the differences were not significant.
A review of available data suggests that alternative and complementary methods for pain management in people appear to be as safe or safer than pharmaceutical remedies, according to Dr. Pascoe. But a great deal of research still needs to be done before the same can be said for controlling pain in animals. | <urn:uuid:a9863c3b-3344-415d-b841-3d3b26c7842e> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.avma.org/javma-news/2001-12-15/alternatives-controlling-animal-pain | 2023-02-04T11:35:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500126.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20230204110651-20230204140651-00122.warc.gz | en | 0.957682 | 951 |

About the MGH Institute of Health Professions School of Nursing
The MGH Institute of Health Professions School of Nursing prepares compassionate and capable nurse professionals who are on the forefront of change in health care. We offer two pathways into nursing, as well as several options for Registered Nurses to earn an advanced degree or certification.
Since its 1977 creation as the successor institution to the 104-year-old Massachusetts General Hospital diploma nursing school, the MGH Institute has been at the forefront of nursing education. In addition to the original Master of Science in Nursing degree, in 2007 the school created one of the country's first four accredited Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs – which is now online – and has become two programs: a DNP for Advanced Practice Nurses, and a DNP for Nurse Executives.
The next year, the Institute inaugurated an Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree to meet the demand of filling more than 100,000 nursing vacancies nationwide. In 2011, the Institute introduced two Mind Body Spirit (MBS) Nursing certificate programs for nurses who want to integrate a holistic approach with enhanced patient care. In 2018 the certificate program became one in Mind Body Health and Healing, an interprofessional certificate for health care professionals interested in integrating a holistic approach.
In 2013, the Institute launched two innovative Global Health Nursing certificate programs in conjunction with the world-renowned Partners In Health. In 2018 this became an interprofessional certificate in Global Health Equity and Innovations.
You will be mentored by premier practitioners and researchers in the nursing field. More than 80% of the faculty hold a doctoral degree, most actively publish in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks, and many are recognized nationally and internationally. In addition, a large majority are practicing clinicians who use their own real-world experience as teaching examples.
You will receive priority clinical rotation placements within the first few weeks of your education at prestigious health care facilities. The MGH Institute is affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Children’s Hospital Boston, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, McLean Hospital, Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital and North Shore Medical Center. These placements have often resulted in job offers after graduation.
Graduating classes have strong pass rates as first-time takers on both the registered nurse licensure (NCLEX-RN®) and advanced practice nursing certification (ANCC and NCC) exams. Graduates also consistently score well above both state and national averages.
Become a Nurse
People with an existing Bachelor’s degree and no previous health care experience have two options to become a nurse at MGH Institute School of Nursing.
The 16-month Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) prepares you to become a Registered Nurse and provide direct care to patients at the bedside. This intensive program is the most direct way to enter the profession with the nursing knowledge and skill preparation that health care employers increasingly prefer.
Demand for registered nurses is high. Nationally there is a shortage of more than 100,000 nurses to care for the country’s rapidly aging population. The median income of registered nurses is $62,450.
The three-year Master of Science in Nursing has a rigorous science-base curriculum that prepares you to become a Nurse Practitioner.
Demand for Nurse Practitioners is increasing. You can deliver as much as 80% of the primary and preventative health care services traditionally provided by primary care physicians. The median income of nurse practitioners is $82,590.
At the successful completion of this program, you will be granted a BSN with your Master's degree. | <urn:uuid:6e7d2a4f-cab7-4886-946a-1d54fea34e9e> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.mghihp.edu/academics-schools-departments/about-mgh-institute-health-professions-school-nursing | 2021-05-15T05:32:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243989812.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20210515035645-20210515065645-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.955314 | 758 |

New Delhi: This young and cute-looking couple were reported to have been going through a rough patch but finally it seems just to be a bad rumour. Bollywood young guns Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra were recently in the news over their drifting apart from each other owing to their growing fondness for other respective co-stars.
However, all such things only seem to be a rumour. According to Bollywood Life.com, Alia was recently quizzed over her alleged tiff with Sid, to which she replied, “She said, “I haven’t fought with Sid. I don’t have any reason to fight with him. He’ll always be a very close friend. I also asked him casually about his dinner with a ‘mystery girl’ and he said, “I didn’t go for one.” He has been working non-stop. I’ve known him for the longest time now. We started off together and, of late, we have been spending a lot of time together. I have developed a huge fondness for him, and he’ll always be an important part of my life.”
The dimpled lass even confirmed about Sid not going out on any 'mystery date' with a woman. Hmm...a friend in need is a friend indeed! | <urn:uuid:31cc6495-e83a-45e8-9a10-018f50a2cf0c> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/celebrity/no-mystery-date-for-sidharth-malhotra-says-close-friend-alia-bhatt-read-full-story_1892438.html | 2018-10-19T03:55:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583512268.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20181019020142-20181019041642-00202.warc.gz | en | 0.990066 | 287 |

West Chester, OH, September 16, 2010—AK Steel (NYSE: AKS) today applauded the United States’ filing of a complaint against China for violating the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in imposing antidumping and countervailing duties against imports of grain oriented electrical steel from the United States.
“The Chinese authorities conducted the investigation contrary to WTO rules,” said James L. Wainscott, chairman, president and CEO of AK Steel. “The resulting duties are unjustified, and we are pleased that they will be reviewed by a WTO dispute settlement panel if the matter cannot be resolved through government-to-government consultations.”
Mr. Wainscott added, “We appreciate the decision by United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk to pursue this WTO remedy. AK Steel will be fully supportive.”
In December 2009, China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) imposed duties on imported electrical steel products. The tariffs total approximately 19.5% against AK Steel.
AK Steel is one of the largest and most technologically-advanced global producers of grain-oriented electrical steels, which are helping to meet the world’s growing demand for efficient electricity generation, transmission and distribution.

The Writing Life: What’s Your Reason to Write?
by Joanne Troppello
As of 2018, there are approximately 45.2 thousand writers and authors currently working in the US. If you are one of the many bloggers, writers, freelance copywriters, and authors, what’s your reason to write?
Have You Asked Yourself Why You Write?
If you were interviewed by a reporter and he or she asks the question—why do you write? What would your answer be? Has anyone ever asked you that question?
If you haven’t yet dug down deep inside to find out your reasons for writing, maybe your best work is not pouring out onto the page yet. I recently saw this quote by English poet, novelist, and critic John Wain and it truly resonated with me.
“Being an author is not a profession it’s a condition.”
Doing My Own Self-Reflection
A few years ago, I asked myself that question. God was speaking to me while I was reading The Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie Omartian. I had such a strong inclination that God wanted me to give up writing—my passion—and lay it down on the altar before Him.
When, or rather if, He greenlit it, I could start writing again. I know this sounds crazy. This is probably especially crazy for someone reading this who doesn’t believe in God. But it’s true and it happened to me.
I knew I would be crushed if God said I could never write again. However, my love for God is stronger than my passion for writing and I wanted to obey Him.
Nearly a year passed without writing. I just worked my day job. Spent time with the Lord. Lived life with my husband. And hoped that I would get the green light from God to start writing again. During that time, I dug deep into the Bible. I read the Word and prayed during my free time at work at lunch breaks and in the morning and evenings at home.
I will never understand truly why God asked me to give up writing for that period in my life. However, I grew tremendously in my spiritual life during that year. When I started writing again, my perspective had changed.
I had a new attitude toward why I was writing. I was no longer writing simply for myself because I loved to write. I started writing because I realized God gave me a gift to write and wanted me to tell stories that would glorify Him.
Seeking God’s View
Writing takes work. You need discipline. You must put in the effort to create high-quality work—and then market it correctly. However, I have now found that when my perspective is tuned into God’s view—and how He wants to speak through my words—all the tedious aspects fade into the distance. This leaves me with only the true joy of doing God’s will for my life.
I’ve always wanted to be a writer, ever since I was in high school, but that day during my lunch break when God asked me if I loved Him more than my passion for writing—everything changed. My passion for writing is so STRONG, I can’t express it enough. Being asked to give that up forever…I mean, really, I wasn’t so sure I could do it, but my love for God was stronger.
Finding the Beauty
The beauty of the entire situation was that just about one year later, God permitted me to take back my passion for writing. A new story was born, and I quickly got to work.
I’ve been happily working on my books ever since—truly knowing that I have God’s blessing to write. Whenever the doubt sets in that maybe I’m not good enough as a writer or should I be pursuing this career, I have this time in my life to fall back on. I can know beyond any shadow of doubt that God wants me to pursue writing books, working as a freelance copywriter, and publishing Mustard Seed Sentinel. That fact has been a great comfort to me in that last few years.
I will not limit myself and put God in a box. God’s ways are definitely not my ways. He knows what He is doing. He has a perfect plan for my life. No matter how things turn out, I will keep on writing books because that is my passion. I am so thankful for the opportunities I have been given. I want to do the best that I can with what I’ve been given and be a good steward of my talents.
God has a plan for your life, too. Just trust in His Divine Providence to be your guiding light!
Why I Write, My Writer’s Declaration
I write because I can even though there will always be critics of my work. I charge ahead brazenly, trying to freely express myself, my beliefs, and my dreams in what I write.
I write because it feels like I’m not breathing if I don’t write. It’s a part of who I am and the characters in my mind and their lives flow freely onto the page. I feel compelled to tell their stories.
I write because I feel that I have something important to say. Even if I didn’t think that anyone would ever read my work, I would still continue to write, for me.
I write because I have lived. I have experiences. I want to intertwine those pains and joys and emotional times into stories that can touch peoples’ lives—and let them know that someone else out there has felt the same way.
I write because I feel that God has given me a gift. I may not be the best writer in the world, but I want to become the best writer that I can be and glorify God in everything I write.
I write because it’s therapy when I’m going through something in my life and I can tell a story of someone who is struggling but goes through the journey. Then they come out the other side a better person. I hope that someday that will also be me.
I write because I love to read. Reading has always been a part of my life since I was a young child. I want to create my own stories that encompass the imagination I have.
I write because I want to leave a legacy. I hope that my work will, in some small way, make this world a better place and help readers see that God is the answer.
I write because there are some stories that just need to be told and I figure that somebody needs to tell them…
Why do you write? Do you have your own Writer’s Declaration or writing journey you’d like to share?

INDIANA: The Indy Star looks at how white women could be the key to any Clinton victory in the state.
NORTH CAROLINA: Gov. Mike Easley is a nice get for Clinton. But "Easley does not have the sort of political machine that Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania used to help deliver votes for Clinton in that state. But Easley is popular with rural, white, blue-collar Democrats, the sort of voters that Clinton has successfully targeted in wins in Pennsylvania and Ohio."
The Clintons have been quietly courting Easley, who is also a Democratic superdelegate, for months. Former President Clinton has had numerous telephone conversations with Easley."
Politico adds: "Easley is a meaningful ally in the culture war she's waging against Senator Barack Obama, as she seeks to cast him as a hopelessly unelectable liberal elitist and to persuade the Democratic Party leaders who will decide the nomination -- the 'superdelegates' -- to choose her instead.
The New York Times writes about the still-silent Edwards family in the primary. Of course, the piece also simply assumes if either Edwards endorses it will be for Clinton.
Clinton trotted out her "Day One" talking points in North Carolina and compared the decision for president to the decision they would make if hiring a surgeon to perform an operation -- you hire someone ready to perform the operation on Day 1. | <urn:uuid:5702e768-9935-4fa6-a3b7-795c0905b0b6> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2008/04/29/4434478-may-6-hrc-nabs-easley-edwards-next?lite | 2016-06-29T11:05:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783397696.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154957-00186-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95239 | 291 |

Cuban defector Odrisamer Despaigne makes strong debut for Padres
Coming off a rough week that featured the passing of franchise icon Tony Gwynn and the firing of general manager Josh Byrnes, the Padres were in desperate need of a pick-me-up. They received one on Monday night via Cuban defector Odrisamer Despaigne, who shut out the Giants for seven innings in his major league debut en route to a 6-0 Padres win.
The 27-year-old Despaigne defected last July while traveling to a European tournament with the Cuban national team. Prior to that, he spent eight seasons (from 2006 to 2013) pitching for Havana powerhouse Industriales in the Serie Nacional, compiling a 61-43 record with a 3.55 ERA. In 2011-2012, he went 13-8 with a 2.60 ERA and 6.8 strikeouts per nine in 169 1/3 innings, while the following year, he went 5-2 with a 2.58 ERA and 5.9 strikeouts per nine in 83 2/3 innings. He was on Cuba’s 2013 World Baseball Classic roster but did not pitch. After defecting, he established residency in Spain and began workouts in Mexico.
Following a February tryout with the Padres in which he worked 92-94 mph and touched 95, the Padres signed him to a minor league deal with a $1 million signing bonus. He dominated in two appearances at Double-A San Antonio, striking out 12 in 7 2/3 innings, but had been roughed up for a 7.61 ERA in five starts covering 23 2/3 innings at Triple-A El Paso due to a combination of high walk and homer rates and a .373 BABIP.
With Andrew Cashner hitting the disabled list due to right shoulder soreness, the Padres needed a starter on Monday night, so they took the wraps off Despaigne, who showed off a wide array of pitches, speeds and arm angles en route to an efficient, contact-centric approach. He retired the first 10 Giants he faced using just 32 pitches before Hunter Pence, his lone strikeout victim for the night in his first at-bat, touched him for a double with one out in the fourth. He yielded just three more hits: a fifth-inning single by Brandon Crawford, a sixth-inning double by Gregor Blanco and a seventh-inning single by Mike Morse, but none of the runners advanced. He threw first-pitch strikes to 15 of 24 hitters he faced, and while he got just five swings and misses from among his 86 pitches, he didn't walk a single batter, went to a three-ball count just three times, and generated 12 groundballs, including a double play grounder that erased Morse. He needed more than 13 pitches an inning only in the sixth, when he threw 21.
Via the hand-coded PITCHf/x data at BrooksBaseball.net, Despaigne relied primarily on a sinker that averaged 91.9 mph and maxed out at 94.1 but also used a cutter, changeup, slider and two distinct curveballs, one of them a big, slow bender that averaged 68.0 mph. Here's the MLB.com highlight clip:
Via Game Score, Despaigne's 70 ranks as the seventh-best of any Cuban starter in his major league debut. The top dozen on that list includes some big names and some obscure ones:
|Tommy de la Cruz||4/20/44||CIN||CHC||9||5||1||1||0||2||75|
With Jose Fernandez out for the year due to Tommy John surgery, Despaigne joins Elias, Reds closer Aroldis Chapman and Royals reliever Francisley Bueno as the only Cuban-born pitchers currently in the majors, though Raul Valdes (Astros) and Yoslan Herrera (Angels) made appearances earlier this year. Fernandez and Chapman have made big splashes stateside, of course, while the rookie Elias has put up a 3.74 ERA and 7.8 strikeouts per nine in 16 starts for the Mariners.
While he's clearly earned a longer look, don't expect Despaigne to have a Fernandez- or Chapman-sized impact, to say nothing of those of Cuban-born sluggers Yasiel Puig and Jose Abreu. His upside is as a mid-rotation starter, which will certainly suffice for the Padres, who have just two other active starters with an ERA+ better than 100, not counting the injured Cashner (144, on a 2.39 ERA); one of those is Jesse Hahn, who has all of three starts under his belt, the other is Tyson Ross (105, on a 3.22 ERA). Given the second Tommy John surgeries of Corey Luebke and Josh Johnson as well as Robbie Erlin's bout of elbow soreness, the Padres have room for any starter who can hold his own. At least upon first look, Despaigne fits that bill. | <urn:uuid:d65df9e1-41ce-42df-a700-060aed5ea57d> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.si.com/mlb/2014/06/24/odrisamer-despaigne-cuba-debut-san-diego-padres | 2017-02-24T13:37:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171608.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00502-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.922256 | 1,050 |
One of the things I like to see in a well implemented DAC is good dynamic control and a certain punchiness being translated into any amp connected to it, or in this case its own internal amp. This dynamic control and snappy rendition was most obvious in comparing the Rein Audio X3 and Just Audio uDAC2496 – the detail was there in the X3 but the uDAC2496 just sounded that bit more weighty and exciting compared to the flatter and more restrained X3.
The N4 tonally speaking sits somewhere in between both but lacking the utmost detail such as the X3 and not conveying the same visceral punch as the uDAC2496. Using it’s own internal amp the N4 is warm to neutral with a reasonably thick presentation and a smooth though somewhat soft attack and tapered top end without any irritating spikes or lower treble energy to distract giving a fairly coherent sound.
Bass is pretty solid, bloat free and fairly tight on the N4 without being overpowering or bleeding and disturbing what is a rather musical and fun midrange. There is a slight midbass hump rather than a deep extension but I didn’t really find it lacking on most dance tracks I tried.
The internal amp also did a great job conveying a pretty good sound stage and some great depth and accurate imaging. In some ways the N4 reminds me of the Island from ALO Audio tonally but while the Island felt a bit hollow and grander the N4 is more center focused and tighter and overall a slightly better choice for more detailed listening than the Island for me personally. It doesn’t have the same sparkle and dynamic punch as the uDAC2496 but it precision and smooth rich body to the tone more than compensates and places it at the easier end of the scale in terms of easier listening.
The N4 matches pretty well with neutral headphones that are not too demanding in power using the internal amp and whilst I detected a bit of hiss on more sensitive earphones and headphones I did not find it distracting when the music started. Using RCA the N4 duplicated much of the existing tonality into my Swann active speakers with a lack of dynamic punch compensated for with decent mid range performance and a clean but rich presentation that felt well controlled and a slight step up from what I was hearing from the internal amp. SPDIF output gave a slightly more digital presentation and again that slight attenuation in the treble but still retained that rich smooth response that makes the N4 so easy to listen with.

Deborah Gorman-Smith, a leading scholar in youth development and the prevention of violence, has been appointed dean of the School of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago.
Gorman-Smith is the Emily Klein Gidwitz Professor of the School of Social Service Administration and has served as interim dean of the School since July 2017. Her appointment is effective immediately.
“Deborah Gorman-Smith has provided vital leadership at the School of Social Service Administration. Her work has continued the momentum of the School, and we are confident Deborah will provide exceptional leadership in the years ahead,” wrote President Robert J. Zimmer and Provost Daniel Diermeier in announcing her appointment.
Gorman-Smith, who joined the University in 2012, is the principal investigator and director of the Chicago Center for Youth Violence Prevention, one of six national Centers of Excellence for Youth Violence Prevention funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The center, based at SSA, is devoted to studying and stemming the underlying causes of youth violence through evidence-based, collaborative interventions that focus on families and communities, linking them with schools, social service agencies, the justice system and policymakers.
Gorman-Smith has published extensively in areas related to youth violence, including the developmental impact of exposure to violence, the relationship between neighborhood characteristics, family functioning and violence and the effects of family-focused, school-based and community-level preventive interventions. She serves or has served as principal or co-principal investigator on several longitudinal risk and preventive intervention studies funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Justice, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and William T. Grant Foundation.
“It is a great honor and privilege to lead this distinctive School, home to a multidisciplinary group of faculty committed to rigorous research and preparing the next generation of leaders to address society's most pressing challenges. I look forward to partnering with faculty, staff and students to advance SSA’s vital contributions to social work and social welfare practice and policy,” Gorman-Smith said.
As one of the oldest and most highly regarded graduate schools of social work, SSA prepares leaders to confront society’s most difficult challenges by developing new knowledge, promoting a deeper understanding of the causes and human costs of social inequalities, and developing and testing solutions. In doing so, SSA embraces the enduring values of the University, academic rigor in research and teaching, interdisciplinary inquiry, and deep engagement with the community.
Gorman-Smith is a member of the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare, current fellow and past president of the Society for Prevention Research and has served on other national and state committees, including the Board of Scientific Counselors, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control.
Gorman-Smith received her PhD in clinical-developmental psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She received a master’s degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago and master’s and bachelor’s degrees from Northern Illinois University.
The selection of the new dean by Zimmer and Diermeier was informed by an elected committee of the School of Social Service Administration faculty, co-chaired by Prof. Julia Henly and Assoc. Prof. Gina M. Samuels. | <urn:uuid:0c70d276-8c68-405d-ad0d-f5603d01ce0f> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://news.uchicago.edu/story/deborah-gorman-smith-named-dean-school-social-service-administration | 2023-06-04T05:09:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224649439.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20230604025306-20230604055306-00644.warc.gz | en | 0.951371 | 697 |

Here are all the drugs americans want to legalize
“Just because Americans don’t want these other drugs to be legal, however, doesn’t mean they think current drug laws are fair.”
But the idea of legalizing other drugs draws little support across the political spectrum. While Republicans tended to favor legalization the least, support among Democrats and independents didn’t reach 20 percent for any drug and was lower for most.

For many years email@example.com was my main address for everything blog- and perfume-related. It was an OK service – if not to count that some of the providers were blocking it from time to time, that it went down for several days around New Year or that it was impossible to check e-mail from a mobile device. But I got used to it; I used it for all registrations, subscriptions and to communicate with my friends in perfumes. Not being big on changes, I would have continued tolerating all its quirks but it has been decided for me.
As of October 2, 2017, MyWay Email will be shut down. If you are a MyWay Email account holder, please log in and save all information you wish to save. After October 2, 2017, you will not be able to access your emails.
Well… I kept postponing it for as long as I could but from September I started moving everything I could think of to my new address. I think I’m mostly done. The last steps in my plan – to let know about my address change to all of you, here on my blog and in direct e-mails that will follow in the next week. So, if you have a strict spam policy in your inbox, please add my new address to your address book.

Citation: Choi, I., Stenger, D.C., French, R.C. 2001. Wheat streak mosaic virus p3 gene silent mutations affect both replication and movement, revealing an internal rna sequence element. American Society For Virology Meeting. (Not published) Technical Abstract: High sequence conservation in the 3'-proximal half of the P3 gene among divergent wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) strains suggested the presence of an internal RNA sequence element. A series of mutants bearing multiple silent mutations in the P3 gene were constructed in an infectious cDNA clone of the WSMV Sidney 81 strain. All P3 silent mutants examined were unable to systemically infect wheat, but did not differ from wild type whe translated in vitro. Multiple silent mutations in the WSMV CI gene did not alter systemic infectivity or in vitro translation properties, whereas a frame shift mutation in the P3 gene abolished infectivity and resulted in altered translation in vitro. To assess replicative and local movement phenotypes, each P3 mutant was placed in a WSMV genome capable of expressing the GUS reporter gene. GUS activity measured in barley protoplasts 36 hours post-transfection indicated that each silent P3 mutant tretained the ability to replicate in plant cells, albeit at 22-80 percent of wild type levels. Minimal GUS activity was detected in protoplasts transfected with the replication-deficient frame shift mutant, even though the GUS reporter gene was inserted upstream of the frame shift mutation. GUS assays conducted 3 days post inoculation (d.p.i.) revealed that each P3 mutant bearing only silent substitutions was able to establish localized infection in inoculated wheat leaves, although infection foci remained limited to small clusters of cells and increased in size only slightly by 5 d.p.i. In contrast, infection foci produced by wild type WSMV expressing GUS were much larger at 3 d.p.i., and by 5 d.p.i. had coalesced to produce continuous zones of GUS expression in inoculated leaves. Collectively, these results confirm the presence of an internal RNA sequence element. | <urn:uuid:72f24cd0-824c-4db1-9d1e-95fd93320fbb> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publications.htm?SEQ_NO_115=121375 | 2014-10-25T02:55:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414119646944.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20141024030046-00068-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.91157 | 504 |

Final Fantasy XIII-2 wasn’t the first game where you could have a monster instead of another party member. Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission dabbled with that idea eight years earlier with the Creature Create system. Players can capture fiends here and use them in battle instead of say Yuna or Rikku.It’s also possible to capture other Final Fantasy X characters like Tidus, lulu, Kimahri, and even Seymour plus NPCs like Nooj.
“Yes, in addition to the Last Mission from Final Fantasy X-2, additional dresspheres and the Creature Creator will be included in the game. I believe this is the first time that these elements will be playable to Western gamers, so I hope you look forward to it,” producer Yoshinori Kitase said to Siliconera.
The International re-release has a Japanese festival themed dressphere and the Psychic job which has a time freeze spell as well as passive abilities that absorb elemental damage. | <urn:uuid:e4e0e1a3-77cb-49db-a477-d94ae2a104aa> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/06/final-fantasy-x-2-hd-remaster-will-international-dresspheres-creature-creator/ | 2016-10-28T03:02:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721555.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00244-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.921327 | 231 |
New Delhi, October 07, 2016: To promote the soy based nutrition in public funded programs food processing industry, health and nutrition professionals academicians, scientists, agriculture experts and the soy food processing industry demanded that the Indian government should introduce soy products
in the feeding and social welfare programs which will make a huge impact on reducing malnutrition in our country. This was stated during stakeholders meeting at the launch of a “White Paper on the Soy Nutrition” in Le Meridien, Delhi today by USSEC, Soybean Processors Association of India (SOPA) , Soy Food Promotion & Welfare Association (SFPWA) in coordination with National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad.
India suffers from a high burden of malnutrition across the spectrum of age, sex and socio economic background. The Public Distribution system (PDS), Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and the mid – day meal (MDM) programmes are some of the programmes that
offer ready opportunity to reach the food and nutrition interventions to the under privileged populations. Soybean offers a great potential for developing value added health foods using appropriate processing technologies by the soy food processing industry. soybean can play a vital
role in improving nutrition status of millions of urban and rural population in India.
Director, India Soy Food Programme, US Soybean Export Council (USSEC) Dr Ratan Sharma, said that soy is an outstanding source of low cost and high quality protein. It has highest protein density among all plant protein sources. Its protein quality is comparable to meat, milk and egg protein quality delivering all essential amino acids in right proportion for different age groups as prescribed by FAO and WHO, and it can be easily added to traditional dishes and cuisines throughout the country.
soy can play an important role to reduce the malnutrition consequences in our country. It is an less expensive source of high quality protein with other important nutrients, minerals and vitamins and it can play a key role to combat the malnutrition in India as it increases muscle mass and weight, improves brain development, increases stamina, improves immunity, reduces fatigue and improves the overall health.
He further elaborated that in the year 2000, the US Department of Agriculture issued a ruling that soy protein can provide 100% of protein required in school lunch programs, replacing animal protein. As per Dr. Sharma, Indian population is predominantly vegetarian. Our diet
is lacking in terms of quantity and quality of protein. Even the majority of non-vegetarians among us do not consume animal products on a daily basis in quantities sufficient to provide the recommended amount of protein. He further stated that Starting in 1935, Mahatma Gandhi became interested in soybeans as a source of low cost, high quality protein in the vegetarian diet he advocated. Dr. Sharma pointed out that our immediate requirement is to bridge the protein gap in India, and soy should be the lead protein source to bridge this gap.
Soymilk, tofu, soy flour and soy fortified wheat flour, soy nuggets, soy based Dal Analogue etc. are easily available in the Indian market and can be supplied in any quantity for the government feeding and social welfare programs. He suggested for a policy driven support for the inclusion of soy in the government feeding and social welfare programs.
Dr. T Longvah, Director, National Institute of Nutrition, ICMR said that whitepaper would act as the road map for the future prospects of improving food and nutritional security. He thanked all the participants who helped in preparing the whitepaper so informative and easy to understand. He mentioned that, the global soy food demand is expected to grow by many folds in the coming years. It can be included in many existing nutrition intervention programmes. Soybean is a rich source of good quality protein and the cost is too low. Besides nutritional benefits, there are reports that soybean also provide several therapeutic benefits too. Soybean is one of the very few plants that provide a high quality protein with minimum saturated fat.
The issue of mainstreaming soy into existing Govt. supplementary programmes is not in the purview of NIN, Hyderabad. For the purpose, all the stakeholders need to sit together and take a decision on its inclusion in these programmes.

Most who know something about ocean acidification learn about its effects on coral reefs. It is a leading contributor to coral bleaching. It is important to understand that the effects of ocean acidification extend to well beyond the tropics, to the Southern Ocean.
What is ocean acidification? Many people speak of the ocean as an immense carbon sink, absorbing much of the increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Ocean acidification is the price of that sink. Ocean acidification is a chemical process triggered by having a great influx of carbon dioxide into a marine ecosystem. Naturally the ocean has a balance of bicarbonate (HCO3-), and carbonate (CO3-) ions. When there is an increased flux of carbon dioxide into a marine system there is an upset to the balance of bicarbonate and carbonate where bicarbonate becomes dominant. Zooplankton use the carbonate ions to help form their shells. With less carbonate available, zooplankton lack the necessary elements to form their shells, which are imperative to their survival. With fewer zooplankton, the bottom of the food chain is depleted, and there is a domino effect directly to the top of the food chain.
Additionally, relatively larger organisms like mollusks also rely on this balance of carbonate and bicarbonate in the ocean. When there is less carbonate available, mollusks create weaker shells and their chances of survival are severely diminished. This may one day have severe effects on people who subsist on mollusks for food or income.
Back to the southern ocean…there is a champagne effect with a marine system’s ability to hold CO2. That is to say, just as Champagne stays fizzier longer when refrigerated, oceans hold more CO2 when they are colder. This makes the frigid Southern Ocean a primary target for ocean acidification observation.
Dr. Donna Roberts and Team Acid, a group of scientists from Australia, disembarked a few weeks ago to study the effects of ocean acidification on the Southern Ocean. They are collecting samples of plankton across the waters of the Southern Ocean, from Australia to the Antarctic. This will help establish a baseline for other similar future studies so that scientists may see the effects of ocean acidification over time.
As said earlier, acidification affects the marine food chain from the bottom, up. An impact on polar food chains can have global ramifications, especially for the fishing industry. With the majority of US fishery landings deriving from high latitude seas, it is important to be able to predict and compensate for our impact on these systems.
As Dr. Roberts put it, “Team Acid is focusing on the little things to illuminate some of the biggest issues facing the planet, particularly the increasingly worrying picture of impacts on Southern Ocean plankton in a high CO2 world.”

|Finished UGC Painted Italian Cityscapes|
My first attempt at glass landscapes using UGC enamels. These might be more cityscape than landscape, but I love drawing all the intersecting lines. I based my glass sketches on photos I took in downtown Catania, a larger city in Sicily.
|Old Buildings in Downtown Catania, Italy|
This Italian city is filled with really old buildings surrounded by newer traffic signs and asphalt streets. I tried to include some of the architectural detail and some sort of newer vehicle. My drawings were done in UGC Outline Black. It was hard to decide what to include from the photo and what to edit out.
|UGC Black Outline of A Building|
After the black was set, I layered the UGC colored enamels to give the buildings depth. I had to wait for each adjacent color to dry before adding another to preserve crisp edges.
|UGC Fill Paint Dry and Before Firing|
Here's a photo of the painting process. I think my favorite tool to apply the UGC enamel is the toothpick. I try to use a new one each time so the paint pots don't get contaminated.
|UGC Fill Paint Wet and Before Firing|
Each building was fired with a different kiln schedule. The colors on the red building did not mature completely before sandwiching between glass layers and formed more bubbles and a different texture. I'm not sure which firing I prefer. | <urn:uuid:7770ba03-bc5d-49d2-bfb7-9213a7c9ff87> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://flutterbyfoto.blogspot.com/2015/09/ | 2021-02-25T05:16:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178350717.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225041034-20210225071034-00490.warc.gz | en | 0.96616 | 302 |
Reduced sugar Microwave jam with regular Ball Real Fruit Pectin
About two weeks ago I wrote to Ball to ask about using their Real Fruit Pectin for microwave jam. I got a reply back saying that the product had not been tested for that.
Well, there is only one way to find out. I made some strawberry jam that was surprisingly good. This afternoon, I made peach jam with finely diced candied ginger in it.
I used the proportions in the drop down menu from Ball on its web site that is labeled "How much Pectin." You actually get complete fruit recipes. But I followed the microwave procedure from a recipe I got off the net for microwave peach jam.
In brief, prepare the fruit and mix with lemon juice (and whatever else you add--be it amaretto or ginger or whatever). Cook it on high for about four minutes, stir it and cook it until it comes to a full boil. About eight minutes total. Gradually stir in the pectin(so it doesn't clump) and bring back to a full boil for a minute. Add all the sugar at once and bring back to a full boil and boil hard for a minute. I think this took about an additional six minutes. I tested by letting it sheet off a spoon.
I used four cups of fruit, which Ball's recipe indicated was for six jars of jam. But I only got five. Duh. If you reduce the sugar by two cups total, you are going to get a cup less jam. So I think Ball needs to re-edit that page. Still, it is good to know it works.
I water bath sealed mine. But one could easily make a small batch with only a jar or two of jam and keep it in the fridge.
It doesn't look like anyone is interested in this thread. But I will add to it because I was experimenting today. I wondered how well this procedure would go with frozen, unsweetened fruit. So I bought a five pound bag of sliced peaches from Gordon Food Services. I let it thaw in the fridge, In small batches I cut it up by pulsing in the food processor. Inevitably, a few slices remained intact and others were practically pureed. Next time I think I will only partially thaw the fruit and then finish dicing them with a knife. I measured the amount of resulting fruit, and I got a little over eight and a half cups. Four cups seems to be about the upper limit for microwave jam making, so I decided to make two batches from it. Because the frozen fruit contains ascorbic, citric, and malic acids to prevent discoloration, I reduced the amount of lemon juice by about 1/3 of what is given for the peach jam recipe on the Ball website. In the final jam, the ascorbic acid and citric acid are still a bit assertive, so next time I will cut it in half. I added two ounces of finely diced, candied ginger. Though I used the reduced sugar option, because the fruit was slightly more than than what the recipe called for, I increased the sugar by 1/2 cup total and the pectin by one teaspoon total (or 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon pectin respectively for each batch). Again, judging what constituted a hard boil was difficult. Unlike oatmeal porridge, which will practically crawl out of the bowl at a hard boil, the most this did was begin to roil a bit. I got a total of eleven cups of jam plus one slice of fruit that had survived the food processor which I fished out in case it wasn't cooked all the way through. After removing the jars from the canning bath, I noted that the top halves of the jars have lots of fruit bits in it and the bottom halves look like clear jelly. It seems to me I read someplace once that it is a good idea to let the jam sit for a few minutes after cooking, then to stir it to redistribute the fruit, and then pack. I'll open it in a week and see how it is. I put the extra two ounces from the batch into a custard cup. Apart from the more assertive acid flavor this time, it is a pretty good match to the batch I made from fresh fruit last week. | <urn:uuid:e2c38f07-6b91-476b-ae81-4fb0b31eab94> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/862763 | 2014-03-11T11:03:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011176878/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305091936-00068-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972927 | 895 |
Muddle the orange, sugar, bitters and water in an old-fashioned glass until the sugar is almost dissolved. Fill the glass with ice and add blended whiskey. Garnish with a marachino cherry. Serve with a swizzle stick.
In the classic Old-Fashioned the orange slice was only used as garnish and not muddled. However, today many bartenders muddle the orange slice to extract additional flavors from it.

Why is anyone who cares about the environment drinking bottled water? Yesterday, I went out for lunch at a trendy Philadelphia spot. The city has a very hip and environmentally conscious restaurant scene.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Just as is true in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, the city’s menus boast that there are no genetically engineered grains or vegetables. Most things being served are grown relatively locally and the chickens that appear on plates have ranged freely and happily before being turned into dinner.
One thing you quickly notice in fancy-pants establishments such as this is that despite all the attention to the political correctness of the food, everyone drinks bottled water. Philly bistros are awash in fizzy water from San Gimignano in Italy, still waters from French springs, mountain water from Norway and water that is supposedly captured from the waterfalls of Fiji.
So at this fashionable eatery, I asked for tap water. Eyeballs rolled, but I was right in my request. Why? Because it’s time for those of us who care about the environment and are concerned about global warming to stop buying and drinking bottled water.
Droplets of truth
Not too long ago, critics of Al Gore were prattling on about how his daughter had served Chilean sea bass — a rare fish — at her wedding reception and that Gore had eaten it. Well, protecting the fish may be a nice thing to do, but it does not make a difference to the problem of global warning and the even bigger problem of handling the enormous amount of waste humanity is dumping into leaky landfills. If you want to head out on hypocrisy patrol among the environmentally concerned, don’t worry about what they are eating or whether they fly, drive or walk from place to place. Just ask them, “What are you drinking?”
Here are a few facts about bottled water:
- The containers are made of plastic or glass. When full, both become very heavy. It costs a fortune in oil to ship heavy bottles around the country, much less around the world.
- Close to 2 million tons of plastic was used to make bottles for water last year. That manufacturing involves an enormous about of petroleum, since it is a key ingredient in plastic. In the U.S. alone, 30 million bottles a day, billions of bottles a year get tossed out. Recycling them costs another small fortune in gasoline to haul them to plants.
- Bottled water is being promoted all over the world by a host of companies such as PepsiCo, The Coca-Cola Co., Nestle and Cadbury Schweppes. These companies, plus the boutique outfits such as Evian and S. Pellegrino, are staking their future on getting you to drink water from bottles since it is getting harder and harder to persuade you to drink soda and other sugared water from their cans — and it’s working.
- According to Beverage Marketing Corp., a provider of beverage-related data, consumption of bottled water has been growing by a gallon a year per capita in the U.S., and consumption has doubled in the past decade. Americans now drink more water from bottles overall than any other nation. However, we are only tenth among nations of the world in drinking bottled water per capita, trailing Italy, Mexico, Spain, France, Germany and Switzerland.
Then there's the cost. Why pay dollars per gallon for bottled water packaged with a fancy name and aesthetically impressive label when you can get pure and healthy New York City, Seattle, Boston, Geneva or Singapore tap water for pennies without adding to environmental problems?
In other words, if you want to do something to really reduce global warming and cut down the earth’s pollution burden, stop buying bottled water. The containers mean oil in the shipping, oil in the refrigerating and oil in the recycling, not to mention the oil that’s also needed in the manufacturing of plastic bottles. That’s a whole lot of oil to quench your thirst in a most unethical way.

Kids need lots of thing when they go to sleep like a glass of water, bed time story books and alarm clock and many other things which is needed as soon as they wake up. This makes nightstands so important for kid's room. They are not only handy but are designed for storage with drawers and cabinets, for toys and books.
All nightstands must fulfill your basic bedside requirements. A nightstand's height must be proportional to the height of your bed. So for a platform bed you should go for a lower nightstand and a tall one for a high bed. If you have to tuck everything into the drawers then opt for the one with plenty of drawers and storage space.
Another element of the style is what kind of use you expect to get out of it. An avid reader might prefer one that has a lot of shelf space for several books. Most people prefer one with at least one drawer in it because it helps to have just a little bit of extra storage space in the bedroom. Other people like to have a lot of extra storage room, so they prefer some with three drawers. Just remember that whatever style you choose, it also must be functional with your day-to-day lifestyle. A piece of furniture that is too cumbersome for you to use is certainly of little use, so you want to make sure to pick something you love. Shopping online is a great way to see a lot of pictures of various styles and make comparisons before making a purchase.

It's no secret that the strains of a gently surging surf under a serene cyan sky act as a siren's call bringing visitors almost against their will to settle on sandy beaches and soak up the warming rays of the sun. A good book, super swim suit or a frisbee might be all you need to enjoy a sojourn to the beach. Any combination of these would make a wonderful respite from the hurly burly of the ordinary world. Look a little further and you can see you that trip to the beach can take you farther a field (or asea as the case may be) to an alien world in your back yard. Shelling, walking along the beach to collect the bounty of beauty the gulf offers is a long respected manner of spending time on sandy shores. In finding those amazing jewels of the sea, you sometimes encounter alien seeming life forms that are best enjoyed where one finds them, leaving them to their own journey that we might see them again. Among these are starfish and the sand dollar, each echinoderms whose extra-terrestrial world is actually our nearby salty brine.
Starfish (Sea Star)-
Right off the bat we know are not addressing this lovely friend appropriately for it is not a fish at all! There are over 2000 different types of Sea Stars out there, the most common variety having 5 arms but according to National Geographic, there are some with 10, 20 and 40 arms! The most astounding thing to many is their ability to regenerate an arm if it is lost (PLEASE DO NOT INJURE THEM IN ANY WAY) sometimes simply regenerating FROM the severed limb. Some of them look delicate and frail and others look downright foreign, with spines and and suction cups. These suction cups work to pry shells open allowing the Sea Star stomach to ooze within the shell, consume the prey and return to it's own body. Alien indeed!
One ususally doesn't think of this pale, bleached skeletal disk as having ever been hairy but while they live, their hairs have hairs! They, like you and I have, cilia, though for different purposes. For them it is about transportation and nutrition. They also have only 5 teeth, or tooth like appendages that make chewing incredibly slow. They can be found in groups in the hundreds and will often be tilted in the sand on their edge. These interesting creatures have left reproducing to the young themselves; spraying egg and sperm into open water and nature simply takes it's course. | <urn:uuid:d1141a64-879a-470e-9d55-9a8a13343fd7> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.pagbeachhouse.com/post/2016/03/25/local-ufos-unfishlike-objects | 2023-12-08T20:24:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100769.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208180539-20231208210539-00504.warc.gz | en | 0.959218 | 514 |

To see the eggs or tiny baby cockroaches in your dream, it suggests a string of bad luck will breed and multiply itself. | <urn:uuid:84b04b1c-13c5-4f13-a718-bdd1558150e3> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://dream-meaning.net/animal/cockroach-dream-interpretation/ | 2017-11-20T15:31:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806070.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120145722-20171120165722-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.944265 | 843 |
Auction Company Raises Bid for AS/400 Technology
As e-commerce expands, online auctions are becoming a commonplace means to buy and sell goods. A leading used-car auction service is finding that the Web provides an ideal support environment for its nationwide network of auction houses. Backing up this network are four AS/400s that provide data and images for its Web-based information service, which now receives more than a million hits per month.
"In the past, our buyers had to search the Web to find the cars that met their criteria, " says A. Jayson Adair, president of Copart Inc., which processes and sells salvage vehicles for the insurance industry. "Our goal is to drive the vehicles to the buyer, not the buyer to the vehicles."
Copart recently launched a new service -- incorporating daily e-mail notifications -- to notify potential buyers of vehicles that match their pre-established criteria. This service is accomplished with a Lotus Domino-based application running on an AS/400 model S10. The company also runs three other AS/400s -- another S10 for application development, and two 620 models for production and backup.
Previously, six employees were required to handle incoming requests for sale lists via fax. The automated process now provides buyers sale lists via the Web without any manual intervention. Buyers can search for cars on upcoming sales, and print out sales sheets and auction calendars. The Domino application also provides confirmation and bid status.
Through Copart's Web site at www.copart.com, registered buyers enter a profile of their vehicle purchasing criteria, including makes, models, pre-loss values, locations, and title status. The e-mail notifications describe the vehicles, list auction dates, and include hyperlinks.
This matching service represents a new approach to a previously fragmented approach, Adair adds. The move to bidding over the Web has boosted Copart's presence among both vehicle suppliers and buyers. "It is our goal to quickly expand into any area where our suppliers need us," says Adair. "This service will be a great time saver for our buyers."
"With one simple click, the buyer can view vehicle images and other data and enter an online bid on the vehicle," Adair says. The images downloaded to buyers' and sellers' browsers are generated by Real Vision Imaging for the AS/400 from Real Vision Software (Alexandria, La.), recently installed by Copart with assistance from Tamalpais Group (San Rafael, Calif.). The imaging software enables vehicle providers to view receipts and title documents on the Web. Copart is also using Real Vision Imaging to store and retrieve pictures of vehicles for viewing on the Web. | <urn:uuid:2dc4cb61-019e-4cd5-a730-a3173ea159f6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://esj.com/articles/1999/04/05/auction-company-raises-bid-for-as400-technology.aspx | 2022-01-24T20:25:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304600.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124185733-20220124215733-00661.warc.gz | en | 0.93885 | 550 |

AND WHEREAS the Government of China has requested and the Government of Canada, subject to provisions hereof has agreed, that the proceeds of loan granted under the Principal Agreement may, in addition to the purchases set out in the Principal Agreement, also be used to pay the cost of Canadian services;

AND WHEREAS the Government of China has represented that because of the shortage of supplies available for purchase in Canada it will not be possible to expend the whole of the said amount before the said date for the purchase of most urgently required commodities and has accordingly requested that the period during which the said loan may be requisitioned by it under the Principal Agreement be extended until December 31, 1948;
AND WHEREAS it has been mutually agreed that the said period be so extended and it is necessary in consequence thereof to make provision for repayment in respect of the amounts requisitioned during the extended period.

3. Pursuant to clause seven of the Principal Agreement, it is mutually agreed that any portion of the Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000) Canadian referred to in clause two of the Principal Agreement which has not been requisitioned by the Government of China in accordance with the said clause two on or before December 31, 1947, may be requisitioned by the Government of China on or before December 31, 1948, and the Minister will pay the amounts so requisitioned in the manner provided in the Principal Agreement in respect of amounts so requisitioned.
4. Without restricting the operation of clause six of the Principal Agreement, which shall have full operation in respect of amounts paid by the Minister into the account of the Government of China for the credit of the Chinese Government during the period therein mentioned, the Government of China agrees that amounts paid by the Minister into the account of the Government of China for the credit of the Chinese Government pursuant to the Principal Agreement and clause three of this agreement during the period commencing on January 1, 1948, and ending on December 31, 1948, inclusive, together with interest thereon as provided in clause five of the Principal Agreement, shall, at the end of the said period, be consolidated into one amount, called in this clause the consolidated debt, and the Government of China shall thereupon on December 31, 1948, pay one-thirtieth of the amount of the consolidated debt and deliver to the Minister bonds of a face value equal to the remainder of the consolidated debt, which bonds shall constitute valid, binding, absolute and unconditional obligations of the Government of China; the said bonds shall bear interest at the rate of three percentum per annum, payable semi-annually on the 30th day of June and the 31st day of December, and shall mature serially in twenty-nine equal annual amounts of principal payable on the 31st day of December 1949, and on the 31st day of December in each year thereafter up to and including the year 1977.

Midtown Detroit To Host Prep Football Tournament
By Edward Cardenas
DETROIT (CBS Detroit) – Midtown Detroit is home to some of the hottest restaurants, boutique stores – and this weekend – some of the best football players in the state.
Sixteen teams from Detroit Cass Tech to Lansing Sexton and Chicago Brother Rice are taking part in the The Prep Kickoff Classic at Wayne State University.
The season-opening high school football is organized by the Detroit Sports Commission and features an estimated 40 players who have signed to play at Division 1 schools.
“You will have an opportunity to see some of the top high school football players in the state at one location,” said Dave Beachnau, DSC executive director.
But in addition to showcasing the top talent, the event gives players, bands and cheerleaders to play and perform at a college environment.
“A very, very small percentage of these high school student athletes will compete beyond their high school days,” he added. “We wanted to offer that special experience and create life lasting memories for these kids.”
The event was founded in 2005, and moved to Wayne State University in 2012. The home of Warriors not only is hosting the Kickoff Classic, but will also be the home for De La Salle High School football games and the Michigan-Ohio high school football all-star game in June 2015.
“With the growth and rebirth of that part of town it only accentuates everything that is good about the city of Detroit,” Beachnau added. “I think it will be a real eye-opener for everyone who hasn’t been here before.”
Tickets are $10 a day, and are available at the Wayne State and at participating schools. A portion of the proceeds from tickets will go back to the schools. The action kicks off 1 p.m. Thursday as West Bloomfield takes on Dearborn, and continues through Saturday with the 2 p.m. game between Birmingham Brother Rice and Chicago Brother Rice.

While most of America has been consumed with the upcoming elections, president Obama has been using his final months to further his agenda to bring in more Syrian refugees. Despite Obama bringing in thousands more refugees than the original goal, he is also rushing more than one thousand refugees in the month of September alone.
According to MRCBlog.com,
Americans everywhere have been focused on the upcoming presidential election for most of 2016. That’s why Barack Obama took the opportunity to quietly make a major move for Muslim refugees.
According to Breitbart, the Obama administration has brought in 12,571 Syrian refugees in the 2016 fiscal year, far exceeding the original goal of 10,000 for the year.
Despite polls that show a vast majority of voters oppose increasing the number of Syrian refugee, the Obama administration is moving forward by rushing in 1,831 Syrian refugees during the month of September. If the White House continues bringing in refugees at this rate each month in Fiscal Year 2017, which begins on Saturday, the total number of arrivals from that war torn country would exceed 21,000.
Over 99 percent of these Syrian refugees (12,470 of 12,571) are Muslim while less than 1 percent (101 of 12,571) are Christian or of other faiths.
An anonymous official who works in one of the politically powerful resettlement agencies who receive more than $1 billion annually from the federal government to resettle refugees recently said he thinks the Obama administration will bring between 20,000 and 30,000 Syrian refugees into the United States in FY 2017.
“We anticipate that [the number of Syrian refugees arriving in FY 2017] will be above 12,500 but I don’t have a number other than that,” an official with the Obama administration testified before congress recently. Clearly, this was a lie.
With these numbers, we can be thankful that Obama is coming to the end of his term because if he were to continue with this trend there is no telling what could happen in the U.S. Hopefully the outcome of the 2016 elections will be that Hillary will be defeated and we can get rid of some of these outrageous policies that are causing so many issues. | <urn:uuid:9a6f50ba-d2a2-410b-ac3d-7aefcbed3bb3> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://dailyheadlines.net/while-focused-on-election-obama-just-moved-to-fundamentally-transform-america-for-good/ | 2022-05-17T12:00:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662517245.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220517095022-20220517125022-00335.warc.gz | en | 0.968792 | 441 |
