NetSuite has deprecated the "Full Access" role that is used in the Kantata OX integration. To maintain the integration between NetSuite and Kantata OX, changes need to be made in both NetSuite and the M-Bridge integration platform.
Perform the following in NetSuite, in order:
- Make sure the Mavenlink Token Bundle is installed in NetSuite.
- Confirm required feature settings in NetSuite.
- Confirm required permissions for the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role.
- Migrate to the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role.
- Create a new Access Token.
- Retrieve the Account ID.
Then perform the following in M-Bridge, in order:
- Create a new service in M-Bridge with the new Access Token.
- Create new mappings in M-Bridge.
- Update Scenarios with new mappings in M-Bridge.
This article outlines the exact steps to take in NetSuite, and then links you to the steps to take in M-Bridge.
Install the Mavenlink Token Bundle
Make sure the Mavenlink Token Bundle is installed in the NetSuite environment you would like to integrate with. If it is not already installed, perform the following steps to install the bundle.
- In NetSuite, navigate to Customization > SuiteBundler > Search & Install Bundles.
- In the search bar, search for
Mavenlinkand select Mavenlink Integrations Token Based Auth. The Bundle Details page displays.
- Click Install on the top left of the Bundle Details page. This will take you to the Preview Bundle Install page.
- Click Install Bundle on the top left of the Preview Bundle Install page to begin the installation. This may take a few minutes. The Mavenlink Integrations Token Based Auth bundle is installed now.
Certain features and settings need to be enabled in the NetSuite environment for the integration with Kantata OX to function correctly.
This section outlines how to confirm the settings.
- Navigate to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
- Ensure that these features are enabled under each subtab:
- Project Management
- (optional) Intercompany Time and Expense (enable if resources will be assigned to projects outside of their home subsidiary in NetSuite)
- Expense Reports
- Time Tracking
- Weekly Timesheets
- Time Tracking for CRM
- Client SuiteScript
- Server SuiteScript
- Soap Web Services
- Token-Based Authentication
- Override Rates on Time Records
- Navigate to Setup > Users & Roles > Manage Roles.
- Find the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role, and click Edit.
- Under the Subsidiary Restrictions banner, select ALL. This makes all subsidiaries accessible to the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role.
- Navigate to the following Permissions subtabs, and confirm the following permissions with Full level access:
- Permissions > Transactions
- Expense Report
- Track Time
- Permissions > Lists
- Employee Record
- Expense Categories
- Project Tasks
- Projects (or "Jobs")
- Permissions > Setup
- Access Token Management
- Accounting Lists
- Allow JS / HTML Uploads
- Log in using Access Tokens
- User Access Tokens
- Web Services
- Custom Fields
- Permissions > Transactions
- Click Save.
What is a Role in NetSuite?
A role is a customizable set of permissions that can be assigned to employees in NetSuite. An employee assigned with the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role will display as the creator and updater of records that the integration writes to in NetSuite.
If an employee profile in NetSuite dedicated to integrations exists, we recommend adding the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role to that profile. If there is not yet an employee profile dedicated to integrations in NetSuite, we highly recommend creating one. This makes data and user management easier and cleaner.
Alternatively, the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role can be assigned to any existing user with access to NetSuite.
How to Assign the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role
- In the top search bar, type the name of the user you want to assign the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role to. As you start typing the name, the drop-down will populate with a list of relevant records.
- Select the
Employee: <name>record. The Employee record displays.
- Click Edit.
- Navigate to the Access subtab. If the employee doesn’t have access to NetSuite, check the Give Access box. You can also send the employee a welcome email or manually set a password for them here.
- Under the Roles subtab, add the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role.
- Click Save.
- Navigate to Setup > Users/Roles > Access Tokens > New.
- The Access Token page displays. Select the following:
- Under the Application Name field, select Mavenlink Token Based Integration.
- From the User drop-down, select the NetSuite employee profile that the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role was added to.
- From the Role drop-down, choose the Mavenlink Integration Custom Role.
- The Token Name field is auto-populated by the Application Name, User, and Role, but you can rename it.
- Click Save. The Access Token page reloads with the Token ID and Token Secret information.
- Copy and save the Token ID and Token Secret.
Note: This is the only time this information is displayed. Once you navigate away from this page, the Token ID and Token Secret are no longer visible. If you do not save or if you lose the Token ID and Token Secret, you will have to generate a new Access Token.
- Navigate to Setup > Company > Company Information, and locate the Account ID for the NetSuite environment being integrated.
- Copy and save it to the same place with your Token ID and Token Secret.
Note: Each NetSuite environment has a unique Account ID. A sandbox account and a production account will have different Account IDs.
New M-Bridge services and mappings need to be created for new NetSuite environments, and scenarios need to be updated. Perform the following steps in order:
We recommend giving a name to your Service that indicates which NetSuite environment it is for.
New Mappings (users, job status, etc.) need to be created in M-Bridge for each NetSuite environment because the internal IDs of mapped objects are different in every environment.
As with Services, we recommend giving names to your Mappings that indicate which NetSuite environment they are for.
Once new mappings have been created, make sure you update each scenario to use the new mappings. | <urn:uuid:69d0ed27-a443-4845-80bd-a3d1253caf96> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://knowledge.kantata.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041834853 | 2023-12-06T07:42:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100583.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20231206063543-20231206093543-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.812362 | 1,437 |

I’m not sure I’ve ever actually been nervous about writing a post on Unreality before. Today is a big day for me, one where I accomplish a goal that I’ve been working toward for a long, long time.
After a solid year jam packed full of a thousand hours writing, reading and editing, I’ve finished my first book, The Last Exodus, and published it through Amazon where it’s now live and available for purchase and download as an eBook. It’s only $3.99, and even if you don’t have a Kindle, there are free Kindle apps for iPad, iPhone, Android and even PC that you can download which will allow you to read it on pretty much any device.
It’s a sci-fi story, something you might expect from me if you’re familiar with my writing and interests. It’s an adventure tale of sorts, and before I speak further about it, you can read the full plot synopsis below:
“The Earth lies in ruins in the aftermath of an invasion, the land devastated by an intergalactic war where neither side won. The seas are drying up while the atmosphere corrodes and slowly cooks all remaining life on the now desolate rock.
Few survivors remain, but one of them is Lucas, an ordinary man hardened by the last few years after the world’s end. He’s fought off bandits, murderers, and stranded creatures on his long trek across the country in search of his family. What he finds instead is hope, something thought lost in the world.
There’s a ship buried in a crater wall. One of theirs. One that works. To fly it, Lucas must join forces with a traitorous alien scientist and a captured, merciless raider named Asha. Their perilous journey fighting savage men and creatures alike takes them across the remains of the planet and far out into the stars to…where exactly? Lucas has to live long enough to find out.”
I’m taking to Unreality to make this announcement because you guys have been an awesome community ever since the site was founded way back in 2008. I’m incredibly scared/excited to see what you all think of the book, as you are the kings and queens of the geek universe, and it would mean the world to me if you picked up a copy, read it, and let me know what you thought.
It’s not super long, and I believe only 300 something pages if it were an actual print book. It’s just over 100,000 words total (the first Harry Potter was 76,000 words for comparison’s sake) and I think it’s a pretty easy read. I’m not going to pretend like its “hard” sci-fi in the vein of the some of the classics of the genre. Rather, I just wanted it to be a good story with memorable characters, and I didn’t think spending huge chunks of the book trying to prove imaginary science would be worthwhile.
The Last Exodus is meant to be the first of a series, and I’m already about 25% of the way through the sequel. Nothing would motivate me to keep writing more than positive feedback, so I’m waiting to see how it’s received among you guys, my closest e-friends. Yes, I just said that.
If you really, really want to help me out, if you read the book and like it, a good Amazon review would go a long way in terms of getting it more attention in the Kindle store. If you hate it? Uh, do me a favor and maybe email me your review instead, heh.
Fact is, if I sold 20 copies of this thing, I’d be pretty pumped. Finishing a book is kind of like running a marathon. It’s a goal you set for yourself, and once you complete it for the first time, it hardly feels real. Just seeing my book listed on Amazon is incredible, even if I did put it there myself.
So take a look, and let me know what you think if you do get a chance to read it. Feedback is welcome and you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.org with your thoughts. And yes, even after 30 read-throughs, I’m sure there’s still a typo or two in there somewhere.
I’ve dreamed about writing this post for a long time, and now I guess all I have to do is wait and see what people think. Or if anyone reads it all. In any case, it’s been an incredibly fun, exhausting journey to get to this day, and I’m just excited it’s finally come. | <urn:uuid:8411bf18-f807-41e5-b4fc-34e7b53b4876> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://unrealitymag.com/news/my-first-book-the-last-exodus-is-on-sale-now/ | 2017-01-21T10:38:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281069.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00109-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951407 | 1,003 |
Tea in general is a good beverage to incorporate into your diet as part of your weight loss efforts. Of course, some teas are more beneficial than others thanks to specific ingredients. Furthermore, it is possible to make your tea just as unhealthy as other bad beverages if you choose to open up that bag of sugar and pour freely. You don’t have to drink unsweetened tea, but you do have to watch. You can worry about the sweetener later though. Let’s get to looking at some of the best weight loss teas.
Everyone has heard of green tea. In fact, many people that don’t know much about teas for weight loss still know about the benefits of green tea. There is much more to learn though than just the basic benefits. It could certainly be argued that green tea is the best of the bunch when it comes to weight loss teas. There are good reasons for that, too, and we will get to some of them.
First, let’s get you introduced to some of the other choices you have. You will want to drink more than one kind of tea anyway, and so now you will have more of them to try. For example, there is oolong tea, a Chinese tea that is known for its weight loss benefits and also for being made a certain way. For your sake, you don’t have to make oolong tea the traditional way, which you would appreciate.
If you have the time to chop up tea leaves and all, that’s great. However, most people are looking for quick fixes these days. There are different varieties of oolong teas out there, and it is interesting to note that these teas are also known as dark green teas. That’s really interesting when trying to differentiate between green tea and oolong tea.
White tea is another choice that you have. Then there is pu’er tea, too. There are other choices, and of course as mentioned, regular tea, without too much sugar, is a good weight loss beverage in general. While there are other choices, the four that have been brought up are the main ones that people drink for the weight loss benefits. So which one is the best?
It is going to be difficult to top green tea. In fact, experts say you don’t even have to drink too much of it to get the benefits. The recommendation is that you consume approximately two and a half cups daily. This leaves room for other healthy beverages and even other teas you might want to try.
You might already know that black tea is the most popular tea. It’s the same old stuff that everyone drinks all the time, so no one gets excited about it. Make no mistake though, black tea is also good for you. If you want to go with the king of weight loss teas though, green tea is the one. There are different varieties, too, so make sure you pick up one with all the extra nutrients and antioxidants. | <urn:uuid:77bfaa79-7375-4566-8aff-c73867eb9473> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://dietonlinecenter.info/what-are-the-best-weight-loss-teas-out-there-to-try/ | 2018-12-14T06:42:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376825363.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20181214044833-20181214070333-00372.warc.gz | en | 0.979046 | 626 |

Bible lesson: Weapons neither good nor evil
After a mere dozen or two folks were slaughtered recently, the chant of “Guns bad, ban guns, guns bad, ban guns” was verbalized throughout our land. Sorry, but that won’t help. Why? About 3,000 years ago (see Judges 15:15 in the Old Testament), a single fellow slaughtered 1,000 human beings in just one day. His deadly weapon? A jawbone of an ass. The chant back then of “Bones bad, ban bones, bones bad, ban bones” also did not correct the problem.
Things aren’t good or evil. It’s their use and abuse by bad people that’s the problem. Even a jackass knows this fact.

Enid police are searching for a man who they believed broke into a home when the residents were out of town between July 3 and July 14.
Several items are missing, officers say, including a Patek Phillipe watch, Gold Pocket Railroad watch, a Dell computer, and a gold coin from a necklace. A credit card taken from the home had also been used several times, officers say.
Police say the homeowner is offering a $3,000 reward for anyone with information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the burglar.
Anyone with information should contact Enid Police Department at 580-242-7000. | <urn:uuid:17c626e2-b2ae-467e-8638-f7cc7cc28574> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.koco.com/news/oklahomanews/around-oklahoma/enid-police-searching-for-home-burglar/21385396 | 2015-05-03T22:37:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1430451423003.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20150501033703-00011-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983896 | 128 |

Houses with dirt floors
This is for Blog Action Day - 2008 Poverty. We're supposed to do what we always do on our blogs. So, I'll give you a story.
The year was 1968. The town was Springfield, Illinois. I was in the 7th grade. The girls' counselor called me down to the office during last hour. She explained there was an 8th grade girl who had been "out sick" for some time. The counselor had been taking homework to the girl, but for some reason was unable to do so on this day. Since the girl's house was on my way home, and since I walked home, would I be able to take her homework on my way. I didn't really want to. But, I agreed anyway.
I had passed by the house lots of times. It was actually a one-room shack with a well and outhouse. The mom answered the door holding a baby and surrounded by a bunch of kids of all ages. As they all backed up to let me in, I noticed the uneven hard-packed dirt floor. When I said I had homework for the girl, she came forward from the crowd of kids. She was about eight months pregnant. But she looked so happy to see me. Like I was a friend who had come to play with her, even though I never met her before.
Not surprisingly, I've managed to find myself in more houses with dirt floors since that first one. They're still out there.
So, now the pitch. If you're already doing something to fight poverty, good and thank you. If you want to do something, but not sure where to start, a very worthy Springfield organization is the Washington Street Mission. They take cash, household items, and clothes. Their clients get to shop there for free. Or, visit the web site for other ways to get involved.
Listening to "The World is a Ghetto" by War. (It's a pretty song.)

Thanks for this Marie. What a story! And what a nice reminder about a problem that is too often overlooked. Poverty, I mean, not just dirt floors.

Thank you, Palmer. I especially liked yours. | <urn:uuid:7a3d6740-4d25-4ad2-894c-7af804067dd6> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.disarranging.com/review/archives/002522.php | 2017-04-27T12:50:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917122167.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031202-00635-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990853 | 536 |
What Is CJC-1295DAC?
CJC-1295DAC (DAC stands for Drug Affinity Complex) is also known as DAC:GRF. The GRF is the name gives you a clue as to what this drug does, as it stands for Growth Hormone Releasing Factor. CJC-1295DAC improves the ability of a human body to produce its own natural growth hormones. It stimulates the Plasma Growth Hormone and the Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1.
To put it simply, Plasma Growth Hormone is produced naturally in the body and regulates how the body grows. As you will realize, when we are young, the body is busy producing this hormone to make sure that our bones, muscles, and organs grow at the appropriate rate. It ensures we attain a normal height and body mass, and that we grow into healthy adults.
As we get older, less of this hormone is produced; usually just enough to keep up running repairs in the body. But for those who want to build more body mass, a supplement such as CJC-1295DAC can stimulate the body to do what it used to do as a matter of course – produce growth hormones.
CJC-1295DAC is taken as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. The timing of injections can be two or three times a day, or daily for a longer time period. Some athletes like to maintain a program of a once-weekly dose. Your own needs and circumstances will dictate the program which is right for you.
CJC-1295 DAC Benefits
Human growth hormones control and stimulate a great many beneficial activities in the body. They help to build muscle, repair muscle, develop the brain, heal and repair the skin, build bones, boost your metabolism, especially the metabolism of fat in the body, and much more. Used carefully, CJC-1295DAC will stimulate your very own Human Growth Hormone and can be used to help pack on the muscle you want for athletic, sporting and personal activities.
After each injection, HGH levels can be observed to rise at the basic cellular level. CJC-1295DAC not only stimulates HGH but it extends its half-life, making it more available to do its building and repair work for longer. For the best possible outcome, it should be used in conjunction with a good, protein-based diet and sensible exercise. Around a half an hour of moderate exercise each day, coupled with an hour or so of gentle exercise is sufficient while you are taking a program of CJC-1295DAC.

In a clinical trial, it was found that CJC-1295DAC injected every day for twenty days into fit young men and women resulted in an average lean muscle gain of 4.6lb – and that is impressive! Similar trials with older subjects found similar muscle gains, coupled with a significant loss of fat.
Some people using CJC-1295DAC will experience localized issues around the injection site – redness and a bit of itching or pain. This is a temporary and minor effect.
For the athlete looking to build body mass, CJC-1295DAC can offer really excellent results based on the body’s own natural resources. Muscles will bulk up, injuries will repair more quickly and as a result, your performance will improve. | <urn:uuid:6068a9ed-afc2-462a-913e-9b5e78f03c69> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://onpeptides.com/product/cjc-1295-dac/ | 2020-07-09T07:32:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655899209.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709065456-20200709095456-00253.warc.gz | en | 0.939417 | 731 |
Why Choose Masonry Insurance
Masonry Insurance protects you and your business from expenses related to liability claims, employee injuries and damaged, lost or stolen property. Since masons work with hazardous tools like mallets, chisels and metal straightedges, the potential for personal injury is high. No matter how skilled a craftsman you may be, there is always a risk of injury. Masonry Insurance protects masons in the event of an accident.
The liability protection provided by Masonry Insurance protects you and your business from a work-related lawsuit. In addition, expensive tools are covered by insurance if they are lost, damaged or stolen.
Types of Masonry Contractors Insurance
Contractors General Liability Insurance will give you piece of mind by protecting your business assets. Contractors General Liability Insurance will cover legal fees from claims brought against you or your business, which could bankrupt a small masonry business. This type of insurance is typically a state requirement.
Since workplace injury is commonplace for masons, Workers Compensation Insurance is required in most states to protect employees who need medical attention or those who become injured on the job. Workers Compensation Insurance will protect your business from lawsuits by injured employees.
Inland Marine Insurance compensates businesses for its assets that are lost, stolen or damaged in transit. This insurance covers tools, mobile equipment and other work-related supplies. If your business frequently transports equipment, tools and/or supplies to and from your worksite, Inland Marine Insurance will protect the value of those assets. | <urn:uuid:6e65d799-87f6-4fcd-a2cd-6c2deabc599f> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://contractorsinsurance.org/masonry-contractors-insurance/ | 2017-06-23T01:44:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319943.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623012730-20170623032730-00664.warc.gz | en | 0.950266 | 308 |

Forget fighting like cats and dogs, this was more like fire-fighting. Family pooch Leo risked his life to save a litter of newborn kittens from flames engulfing a house and was hailed as a hero by Australian fire brigade.
Leo's owners, a family of four, had escaped from their blazing home in Melbourne, with a second dog. But Leo, a jack russell cross, refused to leave the building. Believing one person unaccounted for, firemen entered the house, where they found him standing guard over the kittens despite the thick, acrid smoke.
Outside, Leo, who had lost consciousness and stopped breathing, was revived, with rescuers giving him oxygen and a heart massage. The kittens, in a cardboard box in a bedroom, also needed treatment.
Ken Brown, a fire service commander, said yesterday: "Leo wouldn't leave the kittens, and it nearly cost him his life." He said the family were relieved to be reunited with all their pets. "Everyone's fine," he said. "We rescued everyone."
There was no smoke alarm in the house, and officials said the family was lucky to be alive. An 11-year-old girl suffered smoke inhalation and was treated by paramedics. She had been at home with her mother and two brothers, aged five and 18, when the fire started in the front room. The cause has not been established, but police are treating it as suspicious.
And Leo has a new nickname: Smoky.
October 27, 2008
A dog named Leo stayed behind in a burning home in Melbourne, Australia, to guard a box of kittens! Four family members and one dog escaped the fire.
"But Leo was still inside standing over the kittens, and we were scared he would get burned," she said. "We couldn't find Sabrina (mother of the kittens) and we thought they would all die."
The children sobbed with relief when firefighters rescued and revived 11-month-old Leo.
"Then we were told there was a box of kittens still in there, and firefighters returned to grab them too," Cdr Brown said.
He said Leo licked the kittens with joy when he saw them. "It was a wonderful
sight," he said. | <urn:uuid:0da22a8c-61c2-4a07-b993-27c0f3b9aeb9> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | http://www.animalliberationfront.com/Philosophy/Morality/Speciesism/DogFireKittens.htm | 2019-08-23T02:06:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027317817.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20190823020039-20190823042039-00269.warc.gz | en | 0.990946 | 470 |
With no common language to explain anything beyond my desire to go to Sulimaniye, I was determined I wasnt leaving the bus, I didnt have any assurance who these guys were despite what their badges said. I clutched onto the bus in vain but the Sergeant wasnt having it and I was grabbed by the arm and herded towards a police pickup truck. They were especially interested in the fact that I had a camera with me, and it was a quirk of fate that I had had it out at the time the bus stopped and had just quickly stuffed it into my trouser pocket. Normally it would have been in my jacket and throughout the ensuing ordeal it was not searched once. A local boy who spoke good English had offered to help but in spite of my protest he was brushed aside. It didnt dawn on me in such terms at the time but I was under arrest.
Hustled into the back of the pickup, I was sat on my own and the cops immediately showed their piss poor professionalism. I was free to delete the 5 or 6 recently taken photos of the desert fortresses and suburbs of Kirkuk which I thought might incriminate me. Driving through the broad boulevards of Kirkuk, I saw Iraqi flags for the first time en route to the police compound, a ropey affair made of slapped together breeze blocks with barbed wire and a roof mounted machine gun. Upon entering the main building I was shown into an office where I met Adam the paymaster, a small kindly faced guy who had good English and most fortuitously was on his one 24 hour shift he had to do each week. Upon walking out towards a small building in the centre of the courtyard I was left wondering why I was being taken in this direction, it didnt seem to offer anything of significance. The Sergeant started to fiddle with his holster and the 4 escorting cops were line abreast behind me armed with AKMs. It did just cross my mind at this point that they were about to squirt my guts against the wall. In vain I looked for a way to run but the compound wall topped with barbed wire was a clear 100 yards away, I would never make it. My footsteps must have momentarily faltered but thankfully none the wiser, the cops just kept on walking and now I saw that we were headed over to another small outbuilding over the other side of the HQ. Here I was presented to the commander, a squat burly guy in civvies who you wanted to be on the right side of. So I got 20 questions to which I carefully added a little padding to the truth, he was more bothered about me taking photos and I had to go through them one by one. There were a few he was not happy with, ones showing political party name crests and another of pin sized soldiers slouched by the statue at Arbil Citadel. It was also bad patter to admit that I was headed for Iran, not flavour of the month around here but my visas would have given the game away anyway. They also wanted to go through all of my gear but did a very sloppy job of it, they never saw half of my stuff and I could have very easily still been concealing my camera or a weapon for that matter. The camera was taken off me and passed back umpteen times, it was a circus. After a while though the interrogation relaxed as it turned to politics. I explained through Adam that I was trying to investigate Kurdistan, that I was the first of many travellers who wished to see their country and with the help of the brochure Ant had given me in Dohuk I threw in the work of Diakonia for good measure. Having already established that these guys were all Kurdish it was music to their ears and so the heat was off. In turn, it revolved into a very interesting education about the resentment felt towards Turkish involvement in the present situation. Turkey favoured the small local Turkmen community who held the balance of power between the Kurdish and Arab populations in Kirkuk, and was using them to intentionally destabilise the area. The fate of Kirkuk would be the linchpin in any future Kurdish state and the last thing Turkey wanted was for the new Kurdish Autonomous Region to flourish. An election pencilled in for November 2007 would be a crucial juncture.
Another interesting aspect was Adam. He was a Sabaean Medean Christian, that is a follower of John the Baptist of whom he explained there are perhaps only 250,000 worldwide, 10,000 of whom are in Iraq. He had had to try and hide the fact for his families safety in the south but had finally fled north. Now getting the royal treatment, the TV was switched onto the BBC World Service where Michael Palin was tackling the Sahara. We all had a laugh when I explained through Adam that he was travelling through a part of Algeria known as the Triangle of Death, probably the first white man to go there in 10 years. Most pertinent! Meanwhile the news explained that Baghdad was now under a third night of curfew, 21 had been killed by a bomb in Tel Afar, and 23 had been shot in cold blood after been taken from their homes in Diyala. And it was all happening just down the road. God knows how anyone could believe that this was in their best interests.
The US Army eventually sauntered in at 3, a Captain Wolfe and 3 troopers whom I later established were of the 25th Infantry. Captain Wolfe (my own personal superhero) could only have been late twenties, Centola was a kid from New York, also Purvis the fat guy and their very brave local interpreter whose name escapes me. The third guy went back outside to sit by the M60, their Humvees parked in a circle wild west wagon train style. They had been returning from a standard patrol and had been within sight of their base when they got the call about me, they were mystified by my presence. Thinking I might have a bit more of a problem explaining myself to these guys I made it plain that I was a tourist travelling in Kurdistan and had not wanted to enter Iraq, it was the cops who had brought me there. Thankfully, the Captain readily agreed that it had been a pretty dumb thing to take me off the bus and bring me into Kirkuk "for my own safety". I had no idea where I was but they explained I was in the south, and the worst part of the city at that. For good measure some idiot playing with his weapon in the courtyard ND'd (fired his weapon accidentally), it could have gone anywhere and did little to settle my nerves. Thankfully the Yanks stood by me and insisted I was delivered to Sulimaniyeh personally by the police, despite their continued attempts to fob me off. Moaning about lack of resources, they just wanted to dump me at the local taxi garaj, not healthy for a white boy in this neighbourhood. So with 2 police pickups with roof mounted heavy machine guns and 10 heavily armed guys in balaclavas, all just for sweet little me, I was eventually ready to go when Captain Wolfe called. They had radioed my details to their HQ who had contacted the Brit consulate and said that a Brit diplomat would be visiting. Already dusk, it would mean spending the night at the police compound and despite all that had happened, the overwhelming sentiment was of boredom, I just wanted to get out of there and be left alone.
Over the course of the evening I was audience to a ragtag bunch of fat guys and kids coming and going, decked out with AKs and body armour (those not too fat to wear it!) that made up what I discovered were Kirkuk's finest (sic), the Emergency Response police. When the shit hit the fan these were the guys who were supposed to go out and deal with it. No wonder the country was a mess! Over the course of the night 2 young guys were brought in and received the full treatment from the chief and his cronies. He had shown that he was a real Jekyll and Hyde figure and was pretty quick in laying slaps and kicks into these guys before taking a big stick to them instead. It could so easily have been me. I thought they might have been curfew breakers but was later told they were robbers.
Another observation had been that the chief's office where I had spent the day was adjoining the exterior wall of the compound and would have made a really soft juicy target for any bad guys. It was plain for me to see that you could have parked a vehicle outside right up against the building, and coordinated with a lookout, taken out half of their force in one hit. Prefering the sofa, I was beckoned instead towards the chiefs grotty old U shaped bed and had to try to sleep up against that wall after one hell of a day. Staring back at me from the walls were pictures of martyred cops killed in the line of duty on the streets of Kirkuk. Thankfully the place quietened down later on, and left pretty much to myself I managed to sneak a tin of Efes from my bag I had been savouring, I had never needed one so much. | <urn:uuid:ee830b40-3805-4a28-a68e-279d68453c24> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://andyhay.travellerspoint.com/69/ | 2016-05-05T01:02:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860125750.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161525-00043-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.993593 | 1,870 |
Press criticise cabinet "consultant"
The Swiss press have few kind words for Finance Minister, Hans-Rudolf Merz, who announced his resignation on Friday.
Ridiculing him as an “eternal consultant”, most newspapers agreed that Merz failed to rise to the many challenges he and Switzerland faced during his seven-year term, including attacks on banking secrecy.
“Hans-Rudolf Merz resigns. This is good news for him, for his party and for the whole country,” read the commentary in Blick.
The tabloid newspaper said Merz, at the time of his election, was little more than a puppet of the big Swiss banks and a “defender” of banking secrecy long after it, for all intents and purposes, ceased to exist. Blick also accused Merz of allowing the entire country to be taken hostage after the United States charged Swiss bank UBS for aiding and abetting Americans wishing to evade taxes.
The former head of UBS, Marcel Ospel, is long gone and it’s now Merz’s turn, Blick added. “Both represented the ideology of marketplace radicalism, which has now been completely discredited.” The paper concluded that Merz’s centre-right Radical Party will benefit most from his departure from the political arena. “The Radicals can present themselves as the proud founders of modern Switzerland...and not just a country made up of crazed bankers in Zurich.”
The Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) was less harsh. Although criticising Merz for “underestimating the extent of the UBS crisis [giving] the impression that he had a better relationship with the bank than with his cabinet colleagues”, the NZZ praised the outgoing finance minister for presenting a 2009 federal budget that was the envy of neighbouring countries.
“Even in difficult economic times, Switzerland, thanks partly to Merz, was able to reduce the federal deficit, and the country could well find itself in the black in 2010,” the Zurich paper said.
Der Bund, one of two paper’s in the nation’s capital, also praised Merz for reducing the deficit by SFr20 billion ($19.25 billion) and pushing through tax cuts for families and business.
But the Bern-based newspaper said this was offset by Merz’s leadership deficits: “The privatisation of Swisscom [country’s largest telecommunications operator] flopped, a move to introduce a more flexible work contract for federal personnel was put on ice and his ideas for a flat tax came out flat.”
Bund said it was “one of the ironies of history” that a former UBS man would put the wheels in motion to end banking secrecy. “What followed was a retreat in steps,” Bund concluded, saying Merz increasingly isolated himself from the other cabinet ministers, withdrew from the media spotlight and even put a stop to plans for an official biography.
The Geneva-based Le Temps, in its commentary, asks whether Merz’s name will one day “make it on the list of major Swiss political figures who have shaped the country thanks to their courage and visions.” The answer is clear: “He has never been a statesman.
“There was nothing in the curriculum vitae of the multilingual businessman that showed he was predestined to become a member of the government. There was nothing in his character – his good nature and manners – that helped him in the ruthless world of foreign policy.” This, Le Temps said, was a lesson Merz learned the hard way in his dealings with the Gaddafi clan while trying to negotiate the release of two Swiss businessmen from detention in Libya.
“Although Merz will leave behind a record of a finance minister who has mastered the federal budget, it would have been better if he had shown that he was up to the challenge of acting like a boss instead of an eternal consultant in a world much tougher than he was.”
Fribourg’s La Liberté was one of several Swiss papers to remind readers that Merz was elected to the cabinet along with rightwing Swiss People’s Party strongman, Christoph Blocher.
The arrival of the two (Blocher was voted out of government in 2007) led to expectations of a “shift towards neoliberalism”, La Liberté wrote.
“Seven years later, the federal finances are certainly good, but banking secrecy has been partially undone by the person who represented the best guarantee of keeping it under lock and key,” La Liberté said.
The paper agreed with Le Temps that Merz remained a consultant at heart and was therefore ill prepared for the attack on banking secrecy.
“Seven years of financial orthodoxy cannot outweigh the events of a few months when, under international pressure, Switzerland was changed.”
Dale Bechtel, swissinfo.ch
Merz, 67, entered politics in 1997 when he joined the Senate as representative of his rural canton Appenzell Outer Rhodes.
In December 2003 he was elected to the cabinet for the centre-right Radical Party.
He held the portfolio of finance minister and also the largely ceremonial post of Swiss president in 2009.
He suffered a heart attack in September 2008 and returned to work six weeks later.
Merz had a career as a management consultant before he entered politics and is considered close to the business community.
Swiss cabinet ministers do not answer to their parties and there is no possibility to impeach them.
They are free to choose the moment of their resignation themselves and they enjoy considerable autonomy in the cabinet.
The cabinet members have to be confirmed in their posts every four years in the wake of parliamentary elections.

How do A's prospects fit into Oakland's needs?
By Bernie Pleskoff / MLB.com
This series is designed to evaluate the role prospects play in each Major League organization, looking at the short- and long-term needs of each club and illustrating how prospects fit in both scenarios.
Here's my look at the Athletics:
Veterans and younger players that no longer have rookie/prospect status occupy roster positions for the coming season in Oakland.
Outstanding pitchers with little service time and huge upside like Sonny Gray, Dan Straily and A.J. Griffin anchor the club's pitching. Unfortunately, Jarrod Parker will miss the season, requiring his second Tommy John surgery. Hopefully, he comes back strong.
PROJECTED 2016 OAKLAND LINEUPProjecting the A's 2016 lineup based on players currently in their system.
Outfielder Billy Burns has made a tremendous impression this spring with his fantastic speed. He has shown an ability to get on base, steal and wreak havoc on the basepaths. The A's could use Burns' energy. He has a chance to continue increasing his profile. Burns stole 74 bases last season, while playing in the Washington Nationals' system.
Addison Russell is one of the finest shortstop prospects in the game. He can do it all.
An extremely skilled athlete, Russell was the A's first-round selection in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft. The 20-year-old is 6-foot and 195 pounds. In only two seasons, Russell has progressed through every classification of the A's organization, having finished 2013 at Triple-A Sacramento. He has a career Minor League batting average of .302, with good power numbers as well.
Russell has extremely quick hands and feet. Even more power should be on the way as he continues to fill out his frame. At the plate, Russell is quick through the ball. On defense, he has enough range to make every play.
Center fielder Billy McKinney was a first-round selection in the 2013 Draft. The left-handed-hitting McKinney has already played for two A's clubs. I saw him in the Arizona Summer League, where he hit .320 in 206 plate appearances before moving on to Class A Short-Season Vermont to finish the summer. McKinney hit .353 there, for a combined first-year batting average of .326.
McKinney, 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, has good instincts and fine speed. He provides the club with a reliable hitter and solid defender in center.
Right-handed Raul Alcantara is a 6-foot-3, 180-pound starting pitcher. He has completed four Minor League seasons, finishing last year at Class A Advanced Stockton. Alcantara's career record is 24-24 with an ERA of 3.51 and a WHIP of 1.21. He has very good control and command. Last year, Alcantara walked an average of one hitter a game. He pitches to contact with a fastball that can touch 95 mph, a slider and a changeup.
Right-hander Michael Ynoa joins Alcantara in the starting-pitching prospect pool. Ynoa is tall and lanky, at 6-foot-7, 210 pounds. He could stand to add more weight to his frame.
Ynoa has completed three Minor League seasons, walking an average of five hitters per nine innings. Command and control are his major issues for future development. Ynoa finished 2013 with a combined 3.69 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP over two classifications.
Daniel Robertson is another shortstop candidate in the system. Selected in the first round of the 2012 Draft, he makes good line-drive gap contact. Robertson is also a very good fielding infielder.
Robertson had a great debut in the Arizona Rookie League, hitting .297, but he scuffled when he moved on to Class A Short-Season Vermont, hitting only .181. Given the presence of Russell at shortstop, Robertson could profile at third base, too.
Left-handed-hitting Max Muncy gives the A's a future option at first base, a position of recent need for the franchise. The 6-foot, 190-pound, 23-year-old has some raw power. Muncy hit 25 home runs and drove in 100 runs last season, combined between Class A Advanced Stockton and Double-A Midland.
Muncy waked 88 times last year, showing good patience at the plate. He struck out 102 times in 625 plate appearances, fine for a power hitter.
Right-handed pitcher Bobby Wahl is a few years away from the big leagues. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound, 21-year-old pitched for the University of Mississippi. He reached Short-Season A Vermont last season and threw 20 2/3 innings, yielding nine earned runs for a 3.92 ERA. Wahl walked 2.6 per nine innings, while striking out 11.8 per nine.
Renato Nunez is a solid candidate at third base who is a few years away from the parent club. He has power to all fields and hit 19 home runs while driving in 85 runs at Class A Beloit. Nunez's game is still raw, and he needs to refine his hitting mechanics to retain the excellent start to his career.

[TOTM: The following is part of a blog series by TOTM guests and authors on the law, economics, and policy of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The entire series of posts is available here.
This post is authored by Corbin Barthold, (Senior Litigation Counsel, Washington Legal Foundation).]
The pandemic is serious. COVID-19 will overwhelm our hospitals. It might break our entire healthcare system. To keep the number of deaths in the low hundreds of thousands, a study from Imperial College London finds, we will have to shutter much of our economy for months. Small wonder the markets have lost a third of their value in a relentless three-week plunge. Grievous and cruel will be the struggle to come.
“All men of sense will agree,” Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 70, “in the necessity of an energetic Executive.” In an emergency, certainly, that is largely true. In the midst of this crisis even a staunch libertarian can applaud the government’s efforts to maintain liquidity, and can understand its urge to start dispersing helicopter money. By at least acting like it knows what it’s doing, the state can lessen many citizens’ sense of panic. Some of the emergency measures might even work.
Of course, many of them won’t. Even a trillion-dollar stimulus package might be too small, and too slowly dispersed, to do much good. What’s worse, that pernicious line, “Don’t let a crisis go to waste,” is in the air. Much as price gougers are trying to arbitrage Purell, political gougers, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, are trying to cram woke diktats into disaster-relief bills. Even now, especially now, it is well to remember that government is not very good at what it does.
But dreams of dirigisme die hard, especially at the New York Times. “During the Great Depression,” Farhad Manjoo writes, “Franklin D. Roosevelt assembled a mighty apparatus to rebuild a broken economy.” Government was great at what it does, in Manjoo’s view, until neoliberalism arrived in the 1980s and ruined everything. “The incompetence we see now is by design. Over the last 40 years, America has been deliberately stripped of governmental expertise.” Manjoo implores us to restore the expansive state of yesteryear—“the sort of government that promised unprecedented achievement, and delivered.”
This is nonsense. Our government is not incompetent because Grover Norquist tried (and mostly failed) to strangle it. Our government is incompetent because, generally speaking, government is incompetent. The keystone of the New Deal, the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, was an incoherent mess. Its stated goals were at once to “reduce and relieve unemployment,” “improve standards of labor,” “avoid undue restriction of production,” “induce and maintain united action of labor and management,” “organiz[e] . . . co-operative action among trade groups,” and “otherwise rehabilitate industry.” The law empowered trade groups to create their own “codes of unfair competition,” a privilege they quite predictably used to form anticompetitive cartels.
At no point in American history has the state, with all its “governmental expertise,” been adept at spending money, stimulus or otherwise. A law supplying funds for the Transcontinental Railroad offered to pay builders more for track laid in the mountains, but failed to specify where those mountains begin. Leland Stanford commissioned a study finding that, lo and behold, the Sierra Nevada begins deep in the Sacramento Valley. When “the federal Interior Department initially challenged [his] innovative geology,” reports the historian H.W. Brands, Stanford sent an agent directly to President Lincoln, a politician who “didn’t know much geology” but “preferred to keep his allies happy.” “My pertinacity and Abraham’s faith moved mountains,” the triumphant lobbyist quipped after the meeting.
The supposed golden age of expert government, the time between the rise of FDR and the fall of LBJ, was no better. At the height of the Apollo program, it occurred to a physics professor at Princeton that if there were a small glass reflector on the Moon, scientists could use lasers to calculate the distance between it and Earth with great accuracy. The professor built the reflector for $5,000 and approached the government. NASA loved the idea, but insisted on building the reflector itself. This it proceeded to do, through its standard contracting process, for $3 million.
When the pandemic at last subsides, the government will still be incapable of setting prices, predicting industry trends, or adjusting to changed circumstances. What F.A. Hayek called the knowledge problem—the fact that useful information is dispersed throughout society—will be as entrenched and insurmountable as ever. Innovation will still have to come, if it is to come at all, overwhelmingly from extensive, vigorous, undirected trial and error in the private sector.
When New York Times columnists are not pining for the great government of the past, they are surmising that widespread trauma will bring about the great government of the future. “The outbreak,” Jamelle Bouie proposes in an article entitled “The Era of Small Government is Over,” has “made our mutual interdependence clear. This, in turn, has made it a powerful, real-life argument for the broadest forms of social insurance.” The pandemic is “an opportunity,” Bouie declares, to “embrace direct state action as a powerful tool.”
It’s a bit rich for someone to write about the coming sense of “mutual interdependence” in the pages of a publication so devoted to sowing grievance and discord. The New York Times is a totem of our divisions. When one of its progressive columnists uses the word “unity,” what he means is “submission to my goals.”
In any event, disunity in America is not a new, or even necessarily a bad, thing. We are a fractious, almost ungovernable people. The colonists rebelled against the British government because they didn’t want to pay it back for defending them from the French during the Seven Years’ War. When Hamilton, champion of the “energetic Executive,” pushed through a duty on liquor, the frontier settlers of western Pennsylvania tarred and feathered the tax collectors. In the Astor Place Riot of 1849, dozens of New Yorkers died in a brawl over which of two men was the better Shakespearean actor. Americans are not housetrained.
True enough, if the virus takes us to the kind of depths not seen in these parts since the Great Depression, all bets are off. Short of that, however, no one should lightly assume that Americans will long tolerate a statist revolution imposed on their fears. And thank goodness for that. Our unruliness, our unwillingness to do what we’re told, is part of what makes our society so dynamic and prosperous.
COVID-19 will shake the world. When it has gone, a new scene will open. We can say very little now about what is going to change. But we can hope that Americans will remain a creative, opinionated, fiercely independent lot. And we can be confident that, come what may, planned administration will remain a source of problems, while unplanned free enterprise will remain the surest source of solutions. | <urn:uuid:7d869344-a06b-4aba-8032-6614880de3a8> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://truthonthemarket.com/2020/03/23/there-is-no-cure-for-government-incompetence/ | 2021-11-28T09:20:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358480.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128073830-20211128103830-00499.warc.gz | en | 0.951615 | 1,629 |
Testing the Water” SUP Core Sequence:
Integrating the body and building a strong core for SUP begins with one key move: plank. Done properly, plank can offer a firm foundation for not only the core, but building back strength, leg strength and upper body strength, all of which are required for efficient paddling. In this exercise sequence we will be using plank as our platform for some exercises I like to call “Testing the Waters”. It adds oblique strength, and an extra balance challenge to keep the board stable while you move.
Testing the Waters Circuit #1
To begin: come into plank pose with the hands directly under the shoulders, and legs extended with toes on the board.
Lift the hips slightly to pull the low belly up into the low back, preventing the low back from swaying. Hold strong and imagine dragging the hands back towards the feet and feet forward towards the hands on the board. NOW YOU FEEL THE BELLY WORK IN PLANK!
Next, tap the right toes in the water on the right side of the board, like you are “testing the water” with your toes. Return back to plank and then repeat on the left side of the board.
Return back to plank.
Repeat on each side aiming for 8-10 repetitions. Keep the core still and centered as you move.
Testing the Waters Circuit #2
Begin in the same plank position and imagine dragging hands and feet towards each other to ignite the core.
Take your right leg and bring the knee forward crossing it through underneath the left leg to tap the right toes in the water on the left side of the board.
Return back to plank and repeat the same thing with left knee coming forward, extending the leg out underneath the right leg and tapping the left toes in the water. Return back to plank.
Continue on each side aiming for 8-10 repetitions.
This alternating, twisting action creates strength in the upper, lower, and side abdominals to “work your core like never before” on the SUP! | <urn:uuid:7093d432-589c-4c28-8ce2-9f18695f2f10> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://standupjournal.com/fitness/jodelle-fitzwater/testing-water-sup-core-exercise-sequence/ | 2017-11-17T17:42:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934803848.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20171117170336-20171117190336-00122.warc.gz | en | 0.879896 | 425 |

Acupuncture: A new kind of veterinary needle
It's not a typical veterinary visit, but it's become the norm at Columbus Small Animal Hospital since Dr. Kramer became a certified veterinary acupuncturist in late 2008. Since that time, she has used acupuncture to treat everything from osteoarthritis to anxiety, allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, and ear infections. The service has proven to be a success and has converted even the most skeptical clients into believers.
Looking for a new way to supplement your patient care offerings while generating revenue for your practice? Follow these steps for adding acupuncture services.1. BECOME CERTIFIED
2. COMMIT TO THE PROGRAM
After all of that work, the doctors decided that failure was not an option. So they converted a room in their facility into a specialized acupuncture room, complete with carpeting, recliners, a sofa, earthtone paint colors, pleasant aromas, and background music. The doctors even replaced the standard door with a glass one so that passing clients could take a look. "We call it the Zen room—we don't want people and their pets to feel like they're in a clinical situation," Dr. Jim Kramer says.
During a treatment, clients can either sit with their pets for the 20- to 30-minute procedure or request that one of the practice's team members do so. Some clients even use the time to meditate, read a magazine, or simply close their eyes and relax. "It's therapeutic for our clients, too," Dr. Jim Kramer says.
3. DEVELOP A PRICING STRUCTURE
Since most veterinary acupuncture cases require multiple treatments, Dr. Ann Kramer typically offers clients two options: Try the service once for $79, or prepurchase a block of three appointments for $150. If a team member is required to sit with the pet, the price increases by $25 per treatment. Because the system encourages clients to invest in multiple treatments, they're less likely to bring in their pets arbitrarily and more likely to see major benefits from the treatments.
Those benefits have helped many of the practice's patients live better lives, Dr. Jim Kramer says. "Some of our patients will go from not being able to jump in the back of a pickup truck to hopping up there easily," he says. "Or they'll have itchy skin that clears up after they come to our practice. There's no sleight of hand, and there's no placebo effect. The results are easy for clients to recognize and have been truly amazing."
4. DON'T SHORTCHANGE YOUR CLIENTS
In the end, acupuncture has become a successful loved service at Columbus Small Animal Hospital. "We're always trying to find new ways to become better veterinarians and get better results," Dr. Jim Kramer says. If you share a similar philosophy, acupuncture might be the next step for your veterinary practice. | <urn:uuid:c7196b51-01d8-4bc6-86b6-5b1257bfa878> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://veterinarybusiness.dvm360.com/acupuncture-new-kind-veterinary-needle | 2015-11-27T13:51:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398449160.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205409-00278-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954617 | 594 |

She reached down and took my thumb and folded my fingers around it. She guided my hand to her pussy. I pushed it in to her. Her pussy sucked around my wrist like a vacume.*God Damn!* I yelled out.She grabed my head and pulled me back to her clit. A miniute or two later she climaxes.

The Yeren (Chinese: ; pinyin: yěrén; literally "wild-man"), variously referred to as the Yiren, Yeh Ren, Chinese Wildman, (Chinese: ; pinyin: Shénnóngjiàyěrén; literally "The Wildman of Shennongjia"), or Man-Monkey, (Chinese: ; pinyin: Ren Xiong; literally "Man Bear"), is a legendary creature said to be an as yet undiscovered hominid residing in the mountainous forested regions of China's remote Hubei province.
Witnesses typically report the creatures to be covered in reddish-brown hair. Some white specimens have also been sighted. Their height is estimated to range from six to eight feet, although some colossal examples allegedly in excess of ten feet tall have been reported.
Regional officials have recorded nearly four hundred sightings since the 1920s. Since the 1980s, government on a local and national level has likewise taken a keen interest in the creatures, distributing posters that request sighting reports and physical evidence, and supporting scientists who choose to study the yeren.
In 1980, a Chinese team claimed to have found a dozen nests, some in trees and some on the ground, in an area called Fengshuyang in the Zhejiang province.
Some cryptozoologists have drawn a link between the Yeren and the extinct hominid Gigantopithecus, which formerly inhabited the region. Many of the local caves are rich in the fossilized bones of the animal, although whether Gigantopithecus was capable of any meaningful bipedal motion is a matter of debate.
The yeren has also been hypothesized as a new species of orangutan, one that is ground-dwelling, bipedal and native to mainland Asia instead of Borneo or Sumatra.
It is also thought that the yeren might just be a legend. The Yeren apparently dwells in a region already rich with superstition and strange phenomena, including an inordinate occurrence of albinism in the local fauna, adding to its mystique. It has been connected with ancient Chinese legends of magical forest ogres and man-like bears.

“This poll suggests that Romney’s decline is due to a movement among Independents from McCain to Giuliani,” said David Paleologos, Director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. “Romney trailed both Giuliani and McCain among Republicans, but was trounced by Giuliani among Independents who vote Republican. This speaks to the broad appeal of Giuliani to place first over a favorite son Governor whose unpopularity rose among Independents over the past year.”
On the Democratic side, Senator Hillary Clinton (32%) easily bested former Senator John Edwards (19%), Sen. Barack Obama (18%), and former Vice President Al Gore (13%), with 12% undecided.
Senator John Kerry, who recently left the door open to a Presidential bid in 2008, could have problems staying in the US Senate. When voters were asked whether Kerry should run for another six-year term in 2008 or if it is time to give someone else a chance, just 37% indicated that he should seek re-election while 56% said that it was time to give someone else a chance. Among political parties: 76% of Republicans, 62% of Independents, and 39% of registered Democrats said that it was time to give someone else a chance.
“This poll is showing us the early warning signs of a political storm for John Kerry,” said Paleologos. “He may best be served by coming home to Massachusetts and taking care of business.”
After 100 days of service to the Commonwealth, Governor Deval Patrick remains personally popular and is considered the most powerful person on Beacon Hill, though few give him high grades. When asked to name the most powerful person on Beacon Hill, 40% said “Governor Deval Patrick.” In addition, Patrick scored a 53% favorable and 25% unfavorable rating after 100 days in office, slightly lower than the 60% favorable and 29% unfavorable rating he recorded on election day in November, 2006. In a re-run of the General Election, Patrick topped former Lt. Governor Kerry Healey by 19%, just three percent less than his landslide win last November.
Overall, voters gave Patrick an “M” for mediocre. Just 12% graded Patrick’s performance as “above average,” while 48% said “average” and 33% said “below average.”
The early missteps of the Patrick Administration left voters perfectly divided: 48% said that Patrick had made more mistakes than they expected while 48% said that he had not.
In other poll findings, the majority of voters continue to believe that Massachusetts is on the wrong track, although improving slightly. When asked, do you think Massachusetts is heading in the right direction or is on the wrong track, 44% indicated wrong track while 37% said right direction. This is slightly better than the 52% wrong track and 31% right direction recorded on election day 2006.
The most popular political figures in the statewide poll were Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, who had a 58% favorable and 19% unfavorable rating; and Attorney General Martha Coakley, who had a 58% favorable and 11% unfavorable rating.
The Suffolk University statewide poll was conducted April 12 through April 15. The margin of error (moe) is +/- 4.90% at a 95% level of confidence. All 400 Massachusetts likely voters indicated they were registered voters. The Democratic subsample of 220 carries a moe of +/-6.61% and the Republican subsample of 100 carries a moe of +/- 9.80%.
Suffolk University is scheduled to release 252 pages of cross-tabulation data, marginals, and charts on its website Wednesday, April 18. | <urn:uuid:90cc4f4e-22ba-4b28-84e2-edc25191a99e> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://www.suffolk.es/news/6134.php | 2018-03-20T06:10:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647299.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180320052712-20180320072712-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.967299 | 766 |
LIMERICK have named an experimental team for Sunday’s final round of the Allianz Hurling League against Laois in Kilmallock.
Regardless of the result on Sunday (2.00), Limerick cannot win promotion to Division 1A. The quarter-final line-up is all that is on offer ahead of this fifth round clash in Division 1B.
Win, lose or draw on Sunday Limerick will be in quarter-final action on Sunday March 29 against one of the top four teams from Division 1A - Tipperary, Cork, Dublin, Galway or Clare.
For Sunday’s clash with Laois, TJ Ryan and his management have made six changes from the side that lost to Offaly last Saturday.
With a number of players carrying injuries at present none have been selected - Seamus Hickey, Wayne McNamara, Tom Condon and Kevin Downes.
Shane Dowling misses out through injury, while the Kilmallock quartet are also still absent from the team.
Into the team come Aaron Murphy and Thomas O’Brien for their first taste of league action this season. There are also starts for Seanie O’Brien, Cathal King, David Reidy and Patrick Begley.
Dropping out are Hickey, Dan Morrissey, Cian Lynch, John Fitzgibbon, Nickie Quaid and Shane Dowling.
If there are no late changes to the line-up it will mean that all bar three of the current 30-man inter-county panel will have started in this current league series - Kilmallock trio Paudie O’Brien, Graeme Mulcahy and Barry Hennessy the three not yet included.
LIMERICK: Aaron Murphy; Stephen Walsh, Richie McCarthy, Seanie O’Brien; Cathal King, Declan Hannon, Conor Allis; James Ryan, Paul Browne; David Reidy, David Breen, Donal O’Grady; Thomas O’Brien, Patrick Begley, Seanie Tobin. | <urn:uuid:f273544c-81e4-46c4-8372-3417f96bca82> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://www.limerickleader.ie/news/limerick-sport/117810/Six-changes-to-Limerick-hurling-team.html | 2018-10-21T09:14:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583513804.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181021073314-20181021094814-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.897583 | 434 |

*Quote from The Epilogue*
Suddenly Harry was kissing her as if he couldn’t resist the temptation. There was a kind of frenzy to the kiss at first, a kind of desperate need, but it melted into something soft and sweet and gentle, a promise of a future when kisses would never be limited. When they broke apart he rested his forehead on hers, sprinkling a few affectionate butterfly kisses across her face. “I love you,” he murmured.

I'm not really sure how or when it happened. I'd say somewhere between when he saved my life (and didn't even mention it!) and our late-night conversation. Or maybe in third year, but I just repressed it. No matter when it happened, something clicked with James Potter, and I felt like a fool. Especially when I learned that he had a girlfriend. Hopefully with stories of a nude Petunia and my charm, he'll see the light.

Harry and Ginny are happily married with a baby on the way. When they manipulate Ron and Hermione into both meeting them for lunch, the last thing anyone expected was for Harry and Ginny to be kidnapped.
Suddenly Ron and Hermione are left with nothing more than a note and the realization it’s up to them to follow the clues and rescue the couple they both love and adore. If only the clues weren't nonsense. If only they knew who could possibly have taken Harry and Ginny. If only they didn’t hate each other. If only they hadn’t once loved each other.

The first time Gearbox gave us a look at the playable psycho bandit named Krieg, I knew this character was made for me. Krieg is rampage incarnate. He’s off-the-walls crazy. The more carelessly you play, the more damage you can deal. And I just love carelessly shredding into enemies. It’s what Borderlands was made for, as far as I’m concerned. And so there’s no better character to complement this endeavor than big, bad, muscular and very insane (and a little ugly) Krieg.
The very accommodating Mr. Mike Fahey captured some footage of said psycho Krieg for you all, which you can see spread throughout this article. Fahey is rocking a level 31 Krieg, and shows you what the bandit-man is capable of in all three of his skill trees.
Krieg might be considered a risky character to offer players. It certainly was for Gearbox, lead writer Anthony Burch tells me roughly two weeks ago over a demo of the newest character to Borderlands 2. In fact, Gearbox’s Paul Helquist had the general idea for Krieg thought out even before Borderlands 2 launched. But the Psycho character class is as much high risk, high reward in-game as he is out there in the market. So Borderlands 2 wouldn’t be shipped with this playable hulk of a creature, not when he might turn off some players. Krieg would be saved for downloadable content.
He’s going to make you do things that go against the gamer code you were raised by: namely, don’t get hurt.
“Well, shit,” I’m thinking. As much as I am dedicated to the Siren class, I would have played as Krieg straight through the game from the get-go if they’d let me. But I’ll settle for extra content on a second playthrough because he’s that amazing. Let me tell you why.
I like Zer0, the assassin class in Borderlands 2. He’s neat; he has some neat moves. But he’s the sniper class, and therefore typically at his best when you play as a stealthy killer. While I do enjoy silent and scoped kills, it’s not quite my preferred style. I rather opt for the exact opposite: guns-blazing, face-slicing killing where there’s not a moment’s break. And Krieg lets me be me.
The philosophy behind Krieg, Burch tells me, is to put players in an awkward position. He’s going to make you do things that go against the gamer code you were raised by: namely, don’t get hurt. But as Krieg’s shields are down and his health is below a certain percentage and he’s literally on friggin’ fire, he can actually deal more damage. Asking your co-op friends to shoot you in the face is a thing you will (reasonably) request while playing as Krieg, because some skills allot you extra damage as you take damage. Including the friendly fire kind.
Krieg’s basic action skill—that one special move that’s specific to his character class—is a melee Buzzaxe swing, shown quite a bit in the videos you see here. But it’s not as simple as that. You can do so much with Krieg, both within the bounds of his action skill and outside of it. On its own, when you enter Krieg’s buzzaxe rampage mode, you’ll immediately regain all your health and swing or throw massive damage at enemies. Sounds fun enough. But if you choose to go for the Bloodlust skill tree, your melee weapon can include a pack of dynamite stuck onto it. Or if you choose to go for the Mania tree, things can really get interesting. You can spec your Krieg to get maximum melee damage, and throw additional skills on top to turn yourself into an ever-rampaging beast.
With Mania, your melee damage can multiply by 250% (but you run the 12% risk of smacking yourself in the face in your raging confusion—stupidly hilarious). You can turn into a badass psycho; physically deformed and way stronger than before. Instead of fighting for your life, crawling on the floor like an injured animal, you’ll enter a rage mode where you can flick sticks of dynamite at people, or even go suicide bomber on top of them. In the latter case, if you killed the enemy in the process, you’ll instantly be revived and put right back in the game. You can even set up combat scenarios that give your action skill an instant cooldown. There’s a lot you can do in this skill tree to keep the pace—and your adrenaline—up.
While I grew to love Mania, Hellborn was the first to catch my eye. This skill tree is all about lighting yourself on fire, and building the tree in a way that gives you bonuses for doing so. You can mold Krieg’s abilities to increase your fire damage, reduce all damage to yourself, and even breathe fire at your enemies like a bloodthirsty dragon. Best part about this skill tree is the many lines of monologue—both somewhat sane but more often crazy—that Burch wrote for Krieg. You can hear some in the video above. Unfortunately there seemed to be a PC bug where the fire-breathing went a little...consistent, but you get the idea. You can see a bit of that in the video above.
Bloodlust is more calculated. It's similar to the Mechromancer’s stacking skill tree. As you make kills with your gun, your melee damage increases. As you make melee kills, your grenade damage increases. And as you make kills with grenades, your gun damage increases. You can stack kills by setting off nova explosions that will produce a domino effect if the first explosion manages to kill an enemy. The nearest enemy will die, and then the one next to him, and on and on as long as the damage is lethal.
Building Krieg up from scratch doesn’t feel too exciting. Things really get going when you approach the level 30s and have room to play around with your skill tree. Ideally you want to get a healthy mix of two trees. If you haven’t already tired Borderlands 2 out with multiple, multiple playthroughs, Krieg is my new favorite character that's well worth another run.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) November 14, 2017
PITTSBURGH...Current methods of avoiding drunk-driving incidents don’t seem to be working as much as they should, so an inventor from Houston, Texas, decided to develop the idea for a more reliable way to prevent a drunk person from endangering others with a vehicle.
The patent-pending B.A.C. SENSOR provides a reliable way to reduce drunk driving by preventing a drunk person from even starting a vehicle. It also ensures that the person gets home. Overall, it helps avoid accidents, injuries and fatalities.
Designed to promote safety and peace of mind, the B.A.C. SENSOR is compatible suitable for all vehicles and beneficial to all drivers.
The original design was submitted to the Houston office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

Specifically, Title VII makes it illegal for employers to:
[f]ail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms or conditions, or privileges of employment, because of that individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or
limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.11
The statute defines employers broadly as "a person, engaged in an industry affecting commerce, who has at least 15 employees for 20 weeks during the current or preceding calendar year."12 Given the expansive nature of the definition, few businesses escape classification as an employer subject to Title VII's proscriptions.
Title VII imposes similar prohibitions on labor organizations, defining them just as broadly13 and making it illegal for them to:
[E]xclude or to expel from membership, or otherwise discriminate against, any individual because of his or her race, color, religion, sex, or national origin;
[L]imit, segregate, or classify membership or applications for membership, or to classify or fail or refuse to refer for employment any individual, in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities, or would limit such employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee or as an applicant for employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or
[C]ause or attempt to cause an employer to discriminate against an individual in violation of this section.14
While race, color, sex, and national origin are somewhat concrete concepts, "religion" was not defined in this early version of Title VII. Rather than define the scope of its mandate in the statute itself, Congress created a new federal agency, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which was charged with administration and enforcement of Title VII's provisions.
The EEOC offered some early, if ambiguous, guidance as to employers' duties under the law. The commission's guidelines not only directed employers to avoid using religion as a decision-making factor, but also established an affirmative duty to accommodate the religious needs of employees to the extent possible without "serious inconvenience to the conduct of the business."15
The EEOC subsequently refined this duty by linking religious discrimination to an employer's failure to make "reasonable accommodations" to an employee's religious beliefs and practices that did not amount to an "undue hardship" on the business. The Commission's guidelines were not readily adopted by the courts16 and it would be eight years before Congress would amend Title VII to include a definition of "religion."
Congress finally provided a definition of "religion" with the passage of the Equal Employment Opportunity act of 1972,17 where "religion" was defined to include "all aspects of religious observance and practice, as well as belief, unless the employer demonstrates that he is unable to reasonably accommodate to an employee's or prospective employee's religious observance without undue hardship on the conduct of the employer's business."18
The statutory duty for employers and unions to accommodate an expansive definition of "religion," coupled with the fact that such accommodation could not place "undue hardship" on the employer's business, would eventually become the standard by which both an employer and a union would be judged in cases where an employee alleges some form of religious discrimination.19 | <urn:uuid:6dd2652a-2e6b-47c0-9a05-d6f00e50e0b8> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.mackinac.org/2910 | 2016-05-30T22:17:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464051114647.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524005154-00024-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961136 | 726 |
A man who was tackled after running onto the field during Monday night’s NFL game filed a police report against Los Angeles Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner.
Wagner leveled the fan shortly before halftime of the game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, between the Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, ESPN reported. The man, who ran across the field with what appeared to be a device emitting pink smoke, was thrown to the turf by Wagner and teammate Takkarist McKinley.
Members of the stadium’s security detail then escorted the man off the field, CNN reported.
“He looked like he wasn’t supposed to be on the field,” Wagner, 32, an 11-year NFL veteran who joined the Rams after 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, told reporters after the game. “I saw security was having a little problem — so I helped him out.”
Santa Clara Police Department Lt. Cuong Phan said on Wednesday that the police report was filed on Tuesday afternoon, ESPN reported. Information will be limited because an investigation is ongoing, Phan said.
Animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere took responsibility, saying that the man was trying to raise awareness of “Right to Rescue,” CNN reported. The affiliate organization’s goal is to “help the whistleblowers facing prison time for exposing factory farm abuses and rescuing suffering animals.”
Wagner said Wednesday that he knows about the police report but added that he “can’t really focus on it,” ESPN reported.
“I’m more concerned about the security guard that was hurt trying to chase him,” Wagner said. “You just got to do what you got to do.”
The protester was one of two individuals involved with the organization who attempted to run onto the field. The other person has stopped by security before she could reach the playing surface, The Sporting News reported.
Both were detained, cited for trespassing and released, according to the sports news website.
“Otherwise, they’re a bit beaten up but in good spirits,” Direct Action Everywhere said in a statement.
It is not the first time an NFL player has taken down a fan who decided to run onto the field.
Most famously — or infamously — the hardest tackle on a fan who ventured onto the field was delivered by Colts linebacker Mike Curtis at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.
On Dec. 11, 1971, the fan ran down the line of scrimmage between plays during the fourth quarter of a game between the Colts and the Miami Dolphins. When the fan attempted to run off with the game ball, Curtis bolted across the line and leveled the intoxicated man.
“He wasn’t supposed to be on the field,” Curtis said after the game.
Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters that he supported Wagner’s actions.
“I think that we all know where Bobby’s intentions were,” McVay said. “And I support Bobby Wagner. That’s where I’m at with that. I don’t think anybody will disagree.”
“There’s consequences for your actions,” Wagner later told reporters, according to ESPN. | <urn:uuid:6f960cd1-f4a9-4efb-88c4-9f247baabd79> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://houstonseagle.com/1046045/man-tackled-by-rams-lb-bobby-wagner-after-running-on-field-files-police-report/ | 2023-12-02T22:29:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100452.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202203800-20231202233800-00613.warc.gz | en | 0.967455 | 686 |

Seal Slaughter Fades with the Ice
Global warming, global disapproval erode the butchery
by Rebecca Aldworth
Thirteen years ago, I flew to the harp seal nursery for the first time.
I remember being amazed at the way the ice seemed to go on forever. How it formed an entirely new landscape on the ocean. You couldn't see land from any direction—just the stunning hues of blue and gold and the seals lying across it.
At the time, the ice felt solid enough to drive a truck over.
Now, as we fly over the same areas, it is devastating to see the change. Where once we landed our helicopters on solid sea ice, there are now just tiny ice pans—often too small to support the weight of a baby seal.
Climate change is causing the sea ice here to disappear at an alarming rate. The past decade has seen markedly below-average sea ice formation off Canada's east coast, and the situation is getting worse. What we are witnessing is part of a devastating trend—one that is seriously threatening the survival of seal populations.
The seals that are the target of Canada's commercial seal slaughter are, like polar bears, ice dependent animals. Mother seals need the sea ice to give birth and nurse their pups, and the pups need the ice to remain intact until they are strong enough to survive in open water.
As the ice vanishes, we see fewer and fewer baby seals. This year, a government scientist predicted that half the seal pups born in Atlantic Canada would die. I believe he was being conservative. For where we should be seeing hundreds of thousands of pups, only a few dozen can be spotted.
Clubbing the survivors to death
But instead of taking action to protect this struggling population, the Canadian government just set the highest seal quota in history—allowing sealers to kill more than 468,000 seals. It was a pointless gesture, since the sealers can't find many live pups out here to kill anyway.
It is shameful. I wonder how the few fishermen participating in the seal slaughter this year can stomach what they are doing. They are seeing first-hand the ice disaster and the desperate struggle of these baby seals to live. Yet one by one, they are killing off the survivors.
Today, the Protect Seals team has been held back from the killing grounds by high winds and fog. But tomorrow, the weather clears, and we will be back to expose the cruelty of Canada’s seal slaughter to the world.
Stop this travesty. Pledge now to boycott Canadian seafood in 2011.

Contact our firm right away to learn more about appealing to the Michigan Court of Appeals, and explore other post-conviction and appeals options with our experienced team. We understand what you need to do to improve your case outcome and will help you or your loved one fight for justice even after an initial conviction.
Post-Conviction Defense Attorneys in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Throughout Michigan
If your request for oral argument to the Michigan Court of Appeals is granted, your attorney will have an extremely limited amount of time to present your case. You need to be sure you hire an attorney who can argue to win, and who has experience working in time limited Michigan Court of Appeals cases.
The attorneys at our Michigan criminal appeals firm have worked in countless past post-conviction cases, and know what it takes to achieve the best-case outcome. Founding attorney Scott Grabel began his legal career as a prehearing clerk in the Michigan Court of Appeals and is a Michigan Supreme Court Advocates Guild member, giving him the inside knowledge and hands-on experience needed to ensure you are properly protected from excessive punishment.
Argue to Win in a Michigan Appeals Case
The first steps in any appellate case are quick action and preparation, which could be critical later on when arguing in front of a court. You need to be sure that you keep on top of deadlines and don’t miss your chance to appeal a court decision. Working with an attorney early on in the post-conviction process will give your legal team ample time to prepare a compelling argument, and ensure that effective research and analysis has been done for your unique case.
Your lawyer will need to submit briefs and transcripts to the appellate court, after which the Court of Appeals may set a date for oral arguments. Criminal appeals cases are not regular trials, and it is critical to work with an appeals attorney who knows the differences between criminal defense and appellate defense. Our lawyers will help you expose errors in the initial trial and build a convincing case against the decision, so that you can push for an improved verdict or sentence.
Michigan Appellate Case Arguments
Most Court of Appeals arguments, if granted, are heard by a panel of three judges, and every judge has different tendencies and tactics. Our attorneys have worked in the state of Michigan for over a decade and know the judges that you will face in your appellate case. We will consider every detail of that judge’s background when building an oral argument, and our Michigan criminal appeals lawyers know how to avoid common case mistakes that can be made during oral arguments. Grabel & Associates will help you make the most of your opportunity to obtain a better outcome.
Our Approach to Michigan Criminal Appeals Defense
The attorneys at Grabel & Associates know what types of arguments can be effective, and we understand that all too often appellate attorneys come with a dry, prepared, robotic speech that does not allow for interaction with a judge or response to questions raised. Our team knows how to prepare a collection of central ideas and adapt responses to the questions of a judge, so that the judge is more likely to feel your case has been comprehensively presented.
Our firm emphasizes preparation, and we will practice oral arguments extensively before a court appearance. We know the importance of understanding potential issues judges may raise and will ensure we are completely familiar with the specific details of your case. Our team is recognized as a top choice for appellate defense in Michigan because we are never caught unprepared when the time for oral arguments comes.

Elizabeth Tank, PhD earned her doctorate degree from Washington University in St. Louis in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology under the guidance of Dr. Heather True-Krob. During her graduate work, she focused on prion biology and mechanisms of protein aggregation utilizing the unicellular eukaryote, S. cerevisiae. Her work highlighted both intrinstic and extrinsic factors that drive yeast protein aggregation. Given Elizabeth’s interest in diseases of protein aggregation, of which aging is the greatest risk factor, she became a postdoctoral fellow in the field of aging biology in Dr. Cynthia Kenyon’s lab at University of California, San Francisco. There she studied neuronal aging in the nematode C. elegans, a unique and elegant model organism. Elizabeth’s work demonstrated key features of normal neuronal aging and modulators of the neuronal aging process. Following her postdoctoral fellowship, Elizabeth moved to the Neurology department at UM to continue her career focusing specifically on the neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemperal dementia. Her work is in close collaboration with Sami Barmada, MD/PhD. Here her work utilizes ALS patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) as a model system. She has identified fundamental aspects of RNA metabolism that appear to be altered in patient-derived cells, and will be investigating these and other aspects of RNA biology in an effort to prevent neurodegeneration in ALS and related diseases.

For no real reason, I associate blindness with mystical power. Backflips, telepathy and such. Maybe it's because every martial arts movie made between 1971 and Infinity features a sightless old guy that can regulate on everyone. Actually, that's exactly why. There.
ANYWAY, when Chris and I came upon a school-for-the-blind-slash-massage-spa in downtown Ho Chi Minh City, I imagined the perfect massage: precise, powerful and just a little bit magic. Plus, if your masseuse is blind, how shady can the massage be? "Two, please."
What did 3 dollars buy us? An hour of painful, horribly off-the-mark back torture. I kept thinking, "it's supposed to be like this right?" He pounded my spine. He slapped my head. Was that a noogie? I think he punched my kidney!! Wait a minute. Did we just get conned?
"No," said Chris. "We just let blind guys give us massages." | <urn:uuid:c3751303-bafb-4265-bed9-967ebeeb2eed> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://5050travels.blogspot.com/2008/02/blind-massage-aka-painful-lesson.html | 2017-08-21T06:39:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886107720.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20170821060924-20170821080924-00171.warc.gz | en | 0.947177 | 215 |
``ACEs are not destiny!``
Adversity experienced in early life can negatively impact a child’s development and increase their risk for serious health conditions later in life. Screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) allows for early detection of toxic stress and hence, early intervention.
The Statewide ACEs Aware initiative
As San Diego grantees, the Social Policy Institute has partnered with the Academy of Pediatrics Chapter 3 (AAP-CA3) to provide opportunities for pediatric providers, community-based organizations, and other stakeholders, to come together as regional Networks of Care, laying a foundation for mutual understanding and trust, and build effective working relationships.
ACEs are very common. In fact, here is what the situation looks like in California.
SPI’s efforts are multipronged; in addition to building and facilitating the Network of Care sessions across San Diego county, the SPI team works to increase ACEs Awareness through strategic communications, in close collaboration with our partners at the YMCA of San Diego and the AAP-CA3. We focus on trauma-informed family engagement and ACEs screening awareness, providing targeted and practical materials and tools for providers to help build protective factors that can buffer the effects of toxic stress resulting from traumatic experiences.
In The End
SPI has been working on this initiative since July 2020 and is actively involved with all other ACEs Aware partners in San Diego and Imperial County. Our main goal is to raise awareness of ACEs in San Diego county and to create sustainable regional networks of care that will create positive impact for children and families.
“The ACEs Aware Campaign launched in California exemplifies a prevention model. The developing regional Networks of Care in San Diego, led by the Social Policy Institute and the AAP-CA3, focus on family-centric opportunities and healing-centered resources for families during the well-child visits at the Pediatrician’s office. It is profoundly uplifting to participate in San Diego’s ACEs Aware network convenings with the Pediatricians and service providers engaging, real-time, on behalf of families’ needs. You can feel the threads of intentional connectivity evolving with the bridging of trauma-informed services providers and agencies engaging with the Pediatricians. A paradigm shift, healing-centered collective impact is gaining traction throughout California.”

The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Mogawak Shrine puzzle The Power of Water will utilize your Ultrahand ability and some good ol’ H2O to showcase the puzzle’s namesake. The puzzle will have you building and combining electrical currents. Here’s how you complete The Power of Water puzzle in TotK.
Mogawak Shrine The Power of Water Walkthrough in TotK
Mogawak Shrine Location
The Mogawak Shrine can be found in Zora’s Domain, east of Lanayru Wetlands. The exact coordinates are 3299, 0424, 0112, and its location is marked on the map above.
How to Complete Mogawak Shrine The Power of Water in TotK
The Power of Water puzzle will showcase, well, the power of water. It inspired me to try new ways to build with my Ultrahand, and I know it’ll do the same for you. Here’s the solution:
- When you enter the shrine, glide down to the lower platform. Grab the battery laying on the floor with your Ultrahand and carry it to the right side of the room.
- You’ll see a wooden board in front of a waterfall, with your Ultrahand rotate and attach it to the other side of the wheel you see next to the waterfall so it mirrors the existing one.
- Lift and drop the wood so that it catches the water’s current, as shown above.
- Place the battery on top of the battery charging port, as shown above.
- Once the battery is fully charged, it’ll fill yellow. Grab it with your Ultrahand once it’s ready.

How to Get The Power of Water Treasure Chest in TotK
- Bring the battery to the opposite side near the pool of water, and set it on the battery port, as shown above.
- With your Ultrahand, move the two metal balls under the water so that their electrical currents connect. The gate to the treasure chest will open.
- Swim across the water quickly, the battery will drain. Make sure to avoid the electrical currents, too — I learned this the hard way.
- Open the chest and you’ll receive an Opal.
- Now you’ll need to go recharge the battery at your water wheel, do so until it’s full again.
- Carry the battery with your Ultrahand to the battery port above the staircase, but don’t set it in until you’re in the basket, as shown above.
- The battery will power the basket to the top and the exit.
- You can now leave and receive your Light of Blessing!
Well, that’s it for our guide on how to complete The Power of Water Mogawak Shrine puzzle in Tears of the Kingdom.

This Minnesota town was part of the city of Anoka until 1877, and during its beginnings, the sandy soil and very abundant wetlands discouraged would be farmers from taking up residence here. With the development of Interstate Highway 35W, U.S. Highway 10, and Minnesota Highway 65, it was easier for those situated here to get to the Twin Cities, and the numbers of those wishing to reside here soared. The National Sports Center located here has over 50 full sized soccer fields, a full golf course, and the Schwan Super Rink, which is the largest ice facility of its type in the world. The Herb Brooks foundation is going to play a large part in developing the Herb Brooks Training Center, that will be a one of a kind and very state of the art ice hockey training facility located here. The top employers in Blaine are Aveda, Cub Foods, Infinite Campus, Parametric Technology Corporation, Carley Foundry, and Herberger’s.

Suggestions For Emergency Dental Care
It is advisable to tend to an intense tooth ache with simple treatments while waiting for your Blaine emergency dental care appointment. Making use of warm water, wash your mouth as a way to clean the affected region. After that make use of ice cubes to create a compress to sooth the pain, hold the ice against the affected region, and make sure to place a cloth between the ice and your teeth. Lessen the pain by using over the counter pain medicine, it’s alright to utilize it during the wait to see the emergency dentist.
One client at a Blaine Dentist office experienced a missing filling. Advice was handed to her by the dental practitioner that sugar free chewing gum is a good, secure approach to occupy the area in which the cavity was. This is a common way to keep the exposure from the missing filling protected and reduce any discomfort which may be experienced from air flow getting into the raw filling. An alternative choice is to spend a little cash for dental cement and cover the opening. Right after you are able to cover the absent tooth cavity, it is best to locate an emergency dental clinic and get the cavity refilled soon.
Soft Tissue injuries are another type of dental emergency that require immediate attention. Please take a moment to stop and rinse the wound with water mixed with salt. You can use a cool moistened piece of gauze to apply pressure to the injured region. Use a cold compress, the same as we suggest for the other types of dental emergencies. Should you not be able to slow and finally stop all the blood loss, keep the area covered and head to the emergency room, clinic or dentist.

10 Nov – The 4th edition of the Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFFest) will no longer be held next month, as it has now been postponed to next year.
Originally scheduled to run from 5 to 10 December 2020, the film festival has to be delayed due to the current nationwide cinema closures.
"As the film festival will physically take place at local cinemas, the festival committee has decided to postpone the event until 2021," MIFFest stated.
"The health and safety of filmmakers, artistes, audiences, crew and staff members are our priority and concern. This decision has been reached in response to the worldwide efforts in taking preventative measures to contain the pandemic."
The tentative new date for the film festival is January 2021, though this will be subject to cinema availability by then. | <urn:uuid:30f501bb-045e-4ffd-a3b4-ecda3b433a9f> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.cinema.com.my/articles/news_details.aspx?search=2020.n_mifffest2021postponed_58001&title=4th-Malaysia-International-Film-Festival-postponed-to-2021 | 2021-05-06T05:48:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243988741.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20210506053729-20210506083729-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.969925 | 165 |
Dexi is the ultimate platform for web scraping, browser automation and a whole lot more! In this article, we briefly explain how you can get started using the different parts of the platform.
To extract data from a website, create an Extractor robot:
- First, you must identify the starting page you wish to extract data from. Your imagination is the limit!
As an example, extracting product information, the page is often either a list page, listing multiple items and serving as a starting page or a specific details page, presenting the details of a single item.
- Browse to app.dexi.io and sign up (or sign in, if you already have an account).
Select the activation link in the email you receive.
In the dialog that displays, select the item that most closely matches what you want to use Dexi for.
Some options will take you through a tour showing you how to use Dexi.
- If you didn't choose one of these options, select the Projects link in the left-hand menu.
- Select the green New... button and then select Create new robot.
- Ensure Extractor is selected in the dialog that displays.
- Paste the URL into the URL text box and provide a name for the robot.
- Select Create new robot.
- The requested URL will now load in an editor that allows you to point and select the elements you want the robot to interact with, e.g., extract data from.
Extractor robots provide a powerful way to interact with web pages. It is not only possible to extract data, you can do pretty much anything you can do in your browser, e.g., select buttons, select elements in lists and much more. If you would like to see an example of an existing robot and do some experiments, select the Create an example robot button.

You can also search our knowledge base for a specific topic which we continuously add information to.
For background information on a couple of web technologies (e.g., HTML) that you might need to build some Extractor robots, please see Web Data Extraction Basics.
Once your Extractor robot (or any other robot type) is working as intended in the editor, you must execute it to get actual results.
Robots can be executed with different configurations, called runs in part of the platform, most importantly with multiple input values, effectively executing the robot multiple times with different search values or dates.
To get the results of your robot:
On the Projects page,
- Select the robot and select the New run button:
Select the Open button to open the configuration.
Change any settings you want to change, e.g., setting a schedule, adding any integrations or, if the robot takes any inputs, add/import inputs to the configuration:
Execute the robot, or rather the configuration, by selecting the Execute now button (the latest saved version of the robot is executed).
On the Executions tab, select View to view the execution. Depending on system load, it can take from a few seconds to a few minutes for the execution to start.
On the Results tab of the execution, results display as they are extracted. When the execution completes, results can be downloaded in various formats, such as CSV, XLS, and JSON/, and sent to and stored in a number of different places, such as Google Drive, Google Sheets, Amazon S3, your own custom webhooks, or retrieved via the API.
Results are permanently removed after 3 weeks of completion of the execution, so make sure you send the results to one or more external locations for permanent storage using integrations.
In case there is a problem with the execution, it is possible to debug the robot. Read more about debugging in How can I debug a failed execution? and How can I resolve execution errors?
Read more about configurations/runs in How can I create a run? and, e.g., using multiple input values.
The actual task of executing the robot is performed by what is called a worker. The number of workers on your account determines your capacity, i.e., how much work can be done concurrently.
Robot configurations with multiple inputs can be set to use multiple workers for faster execution. This is controlled by the Concurrent inputs on the Configuration tab.
For example, if your subscription includes three workers, you will be able to concurrently execute, e.g.:
- Three robot configurations with one or no inputs.
- One robot configuration with multiple inputs and Concurrent executions set to 2, and configuration with one or no inputs.
That is, some combination that adds up to 3.
Visit our price plans to see how many workers are included in each price plan.
Worker Utilization (avoid short-lived robots)
Executing many short-lived robots concurrently, ie. robots that complete in less than ~60 seconds, can cause unpredictable utilization of the workers on your account, e.g. it can cause your workers to be under-utilized. The limitation applies to the same robot executed for multiple inputs or different robots executed concurrently.
This reason for this limitation is because the administrative overhead, albeit insignificant for low amounts of robots, adds up when running many robots/inputs of the same robot.
Hence, to ensure optimal worker utilization, always make sure that when running many robots/inputs of the same robot concurrently, that the robot runs for more than ~60 seconds. For example, instead of an Extractor robot only getting the details of one product, make sure it loops over a list of products, thereby increasing the runtime of the robot.
Where do I go next?
We understand that there can be a bit of a learning curve in learning to use the platform efficiently, e.g., that there are a number of new concepts to learn. The glossary provides a concise description of all concepts used in the dexi.io universe.
To explore more features of the platform, read on and follow the links below:
Pipes robots makes it possible to automate a process of data processing and transformation (ETL) performing arbitrarily complex business logic. For example, a Pipes robot could execute an Extractor robot, iterate its results, call an external web service for each result, do some custom formatting of the web service result and save the enriched results in an external SQL database or a Dexi data set (see below).
Crawler robots allow you to quickly collect a large number of URLs and other basic information from a website, e.g., identify product pages on a website and save the URL and page title for each page. For example, a Pipes robot could execute a Crawler that gathers product pages on a website and sends each URL to an Extractor that extracts the required information.
AutoBot robots allow you to normalize/standardize (the fields of) results extracted from a number of different websites, e.g., extract and save product ID, name and description from three different webshops.
Data sets make it possible to work with large amounts of data (even images and files!) similar to a NoSQL collection or SQL table. Advanced deduplication and record linkage can be performed using, e.g., fuzzy matching.
Dictionaries map keys to values and can be used, e.g., to correct misspellings like Galaxy vs Gallaxy.
Addons add functionality to the platform in various ways. For example, integration addons allow you to send data to third-party services, e.g., Amazon S3, Box or Google Sheets. Other examples include CAPTCHA-solving services, Google Maps (geocoding) and machine learning/text analysis services. More addons are continuously implemented.
Triggers perform actions when events occur. For example, when an execution of a robot completes, results could be added to a data set. More events and actions are continuously implemented.
The API allows you to programmatically talk to dexi.io, e.g., get the results of an execution or start an execution of a robot configuration.
“Just get me the data, please”

Maybe the long winter is causing short tempers, but it seems like the mere mention of Stop & Shop these days is met by a spew of fury. Anyone with a gripe – high prices, low wages, too much government, corporate greed, lack of parking, traffic congestion – can find something to complain about in the long-running debate over the proposed expansion of the Vineyard Haven grocery store.
Lately much of the anger seems to be directed against the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, to whom the plan was referred as a development of regional impact a full year ago. The commission has held six public hearings so far; hearings will resume on February twentieth.
All can agree that the review process has dragged on too long, though in fairness the commission is only partly to blame. Requests for even routine information and adjustments posed to Stop & Shop and its parent company, Ahold, often need to be sent up the corporate ladder, resulting in frustrating delays. And in the latest wrinkle, it became clear last week that the town of Tisbury is still muddling over a related issue of what to do with the town parking lot.
To be sure, the Stop & Shop project has been freighted with a host of issues that have been kicked down the road for years. And the proposal itself is full of complexity: is it prudent to allow a high-traffic business to triple its size, given its location in a floodplain next to a historic house at the very gateway to the Island?
But by failing to identify the essential issues clearly and allowing itself to be tugged in too many directions, the commission is doing itself and the Island a disservice. It’s hard to get a clear sight line on things, even for the commissioners themselves. “There are so many angles to this whole project . . . nobody knows what’s really going on,” said an exasperated Ned Orleans, commissioner from Tisbury and a seasoned elected official, at the most recent public hearing.
Created by an act of the state legislature forty years ago, the commission’s mandate is broad, charged as it is with balancing a range of interests to protect the Island’s unique natural, historical, ecological, scientific and cultural qualities. Though the specific pressures on the Vineyard are different than they were four decades ago, the Island still badly needs a body that can take the long view about what’s best for the Island.
Instead, the Martha’s Vineyard Commission and its director Mark London seem to have taken a steady hand off the tiller and allowed themselves to become distracted by side matters and bogged down in minutiae. Though the commission has wrested some size and design concessions from Stop & Shop, it is hard not to feel that it has been nipping around the fringes of the project instead of sinking its teeth into the core issues and addressing them head-on.
The commission needs to climb out of the weeds, identify the critical questions raised by the plan — including traffic, parking, aesthetics, economic impacts and the fate of a historic house — and spell out exactly what it would take for Stop & Shop to win approval. The commission has the power to impose conditions on every project, but it needs to first make clear against what standards the project is being judged.
In the Martha’s Vineyard Commission Vineyarders have a potentially valuable vehicle for resisting outside pressure and defining the Island they want. But the commission needs badly to find some leadership. That Islanders are beginning to look at it as a meddlesome bureaucracy ought to be a wake-up call. | <urn:uuid:cab3c6ee-4024-47c7-a451-6b8e587050bc> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | https://vineyardgazette.com/news/2014/02/06/leadership-challenge | 2017-01-22T22:20:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281649.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00031-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969008 | 742 |
Queued Means in Gmail: Everything you Need to Fix this Issue
Gmail is considered the best option to choose your email service provider because of its best service, such as receiving and sending emails securely and smoothly. Most importantly, this service is free of cost. Every email service provider has issues, including Gmail, when your email is stuck into the draft with queued status. You must know how to remove this status and why your emails go into queued status. In this article, you can find why your emails get into the queued status and how you can remove this status. First, let you know why your emails get into queued status.
Why do your emails get into Queued Status?
There are a few reasons you may be experiencing this issue:
- You’re low on storage space – a queued email may be a case of running out of storage space. Until your device has extra storage space, the email will remain queued.
- Issues between the app and the server – If this is the case, your best is to wait until the network issues are resolved. There are other workarounds, but they are a little more complicated.
- You may have hit the threshold limit – and this could be any threshold: too many emails sent, size of attached files, or too many outgoing emails.
Method to fix this issues:
Remember, whenever the cause for the queued in Gmail is dispersed i.e. server is up and running again or storage space is back- then the outbox emails will be sent automatically by the app. However, if you want to fix the issue immediately or the issue persists for a long time, then you need to do something about the issue. Follow these steps for the solution.
Go to ‘Settings’ on your phone and find the ‘Apps and notifications’ option.
You will notice the list of all the apps that are installed on your phone. Find ‘
’ from there.
Click on ‘Force Stop’ button. Don’t worry; it won’t hurt your Gmail app or the stored emails.
Click on the ‘Storage’ option from that very page.
Now, you will be directed to the next window where you will see two different options marked ‘Clear Data’ and ‘Clear Cache’. Hit both of the options one after another. This will help in clearing any erroneous files in the Gmail app; hopefully, the issue is fixed.
“This is what I did when I faced this issue: Close Gmail. In your phone APP SETTINGS go to Gmail. Then go to data usage and check the option that says something along the lines of “allow app unrestricted use of data even when data saver is switched on”. Reopen Gmail. In the sent mail screen it should say that you have unsent mail in your outbox. go to your outbox and refresh (pull the screen down). it should change to uploading. I hope that helps you too!” by Dave Collier. | <urn:uuid:a1e8974e-1c18-4e69-b25e-2b36a21c987e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://techoreview.com/queued-means-in-gmail-everything-you-need-to-fix-this-issue/ | 2023-09-22T21:57:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506423.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922202444-20230922232444-00159.warc.gz | en | 0.937855 | 672 |
How to Make Sure Your Halloween Makeup Doesn’t Cause Skin Issues
How to Make Sure Your Halloween Makeup Doesn't Cause Skin Issues
If ever you’re going to give it your all in the makeup department, it’s Halloween. Every other day you have to be (arguably) tasteful and well-planned.
On Halloween, the brakes are off: you can really go for it and go wild painting yourself up as a ghoulish nightmare.
However, though this might be fun- and hopefully scary to others- such heavy layers of sometimes overly thick, poor quality makeup can be terrible for your skin.
Luckily, we have you covered. If you follow our top tips in this article, you should be able to get through this holiday season without doing any damage- perhaps you’ll even come out of it with better skin than before.
Things to bear in mind
If you follow these top tips, everything should come out OK:
Read the ingredients:
It’s always important to know what you’re putting on your skin. Though it might sound obvious to read the ingredients, people often don’t bother. Preservatives and fragrances that can cause allergic reactions can often be found in their formulas
Given that stage makeup is often thicker and oilier, these pitfalls are magnified.
Make sure that you buy good quality makeup from reputable companies, and check that there are no nasty ingredients and chemicals inside.
Fully prepare your skin:
You should never put new makeup on top of dirty skin or older layers of makeup. This is especially true of the thick, oily stage makeup that usually comes out at Halloween. To make sure that you’re not blocking pores or trapping infectious bacteria, always prepare your skin properly before application.
Wash your skin properly with warm soapy water, dry, and then apply a good quality moisturiser. MAIONE Advanced Youth Original Essence
is perfect for this, laying a lovely, soft, skin friendly base on which to build your nightmarish makeup.
Infused with the botanical extractions from multiple plants, MAIONE Advanced Youth Original Essence
helps to maintain healthy skin by protecting it from the kind of damage done by harsh makeups. It provides instant hydration, keeping your skin supple and moisturized.
Buy your makeup new:
We’re always being told to recycle and reuse, and it’s likely that you haven’t dipped into your gruesome makeup since last Halloween. However, you should think twice about using older makeup: it’s much better to chuck it out and buy fresh.
If you’ve left it in a dark container for a year or more, this makes for a perfect breeding ground for all sorts of nasties. Makeups and creams can accrue bacteria over time which can harm the skin.
To dodge the risk of infection or irritation, go out and get everything new.
Try a spot test beforehand:
You may look like a convincing zombie if your skin reacts badly to makeup: sores and hives will certainly look gruesome. But we can probably agree that this isn’t ideal.
Before you apply the makeup to your face, try putting a little on the back of your hand, wrist or arm as a quick test. Leave it for an hour or so and wash off. If your skin hasn’t reacted, you’re probably OK to put the makeup on your face.
Triple wash before bed:
Finally, aftercare is very important with makeup. The face paints you see at Halloween can be harder to get rid of than your usual fare, so you will need to be very diligent when washing it off. Otherwise, your pores will clog up and your skin will become greasy and irritated.
A three-step cleansing wash is a fantastic idea, here.
Begin with a gentle cleanser like MAIONE’s Youth White Reveal Facial Cleanser
. Then, using makeup remover or baby oil, remove the last of the makeup residue. After this, exfoliate.
When you’re fully clean, it’s a good idea to reapply some moisturiser: reach once more for that MAIONE Advanced Youth Original Essence
, and MAIONE Youth Awakening Serum
for one last application before bed.
If you follow all of these tips, you should come away from this Halloween’s celebrations looking as bright and breezy as ever- not like the Corpse Bride or an extra from Dawn of the Dead. | <urn:uuid:f6e2350f-b14f-45c8-8e5c-c22d5481d707> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://yijia.blog/how-to-make-sure-your-halloween-makeup-doesnt-cause-skin-issues/ | 2021-10-27T08:58:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588113.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027084718-20211027114718-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.923207 | 950 |

While cleaning the garage, I found a tape recording from Carol, an astrological counselor I’d consulted while suffering through the darkest days of my life journey. In six months, two family members committed suicide–both young men. One death was caused by my gun and my bullets, which I had not hidden well enough to thwart a young man high on drugs and alcohol.
Like Cassandra, I’d foreseen family stresses and desperately sought help, but no one listened. I managed to get everyone in front of a therapist at the same time, but my attractive, witty family charmed him into pronouncing them all well-adjusted. I was old, out-of-touch, imagining things.
While I was in my initial stage of grieving, a well-meaning priest attempted to explain why God hadn’t answered my prayers to save my family. The suicides, he said, were consequences of forces set in motion long ago. That was true. Was he saying those forces were stronger than God? He avoided answering that question.
Exhausted by grief and guilt, I turned to Carol and her astrological acumen. In speaking to me and by casting my chart, she determined that underneath the rubble of my self-loathing, I was a seeker, whose will it was to armor through darkness in search of light. She compiled mini-charts of those with whom I was involved–they were wall-builders, disinclined to self-awareness. Reconciliation attempts would continue to be futile. I did not need those people in my life. “Give them to the universe,” she said. “Let the universe care for them.”
What a blow! Hope rises as a natural desire and I refused to accept her advice. With passage of time, however, I found she was right. I’d need to carve out a new life and leave part of my family behind.
I was a sentimental person. Memories were fly-papered to my soul–children’s fingerprints on my high school graduation photo, dandelion bouquets, long games of Clue and Monopoly, bedtime stories, a set of pastel bowls, so many, so many…
I followed Carol’s instructions. Without bitterness, I cast my memories into the heavens, and after a short time, they lost their power to torment.
The universe treated me kindly and I was unused to kindness. As a result, I fell in love with the heavens, planets, clouds, the moon, the stars, the dim winter sun. It forgave me, accepted me, and I flourished.
I tried to email Carol to tell her of my progress, but she didn’t answer. Later, her partner responded–she’d passed away. I told him I was grateful for her help. He said that had been her mission–to help people.
Often I look into the night sky and see Carol there. How many others did she help?
amid the stars.
I’ve been writing poetry today, not creating, but tending to line breaks, listening for sound structures, weighing words. The poems are about a river storm, a shooting of an old, sick dog, and a worm’s destruction of rosebushes. I had in mind to write one about my fabulous back yard–I’ll do that tomorrow.
But I can’t keep the present out. Another shooting. The worst one we’ve ever had. I’m aghast. I’m numb.
I’m also riding a wave of anger. I’m mad at the NRA, which goes past reason, accountability, and morality in its refusal to support stronger gun legislation and enforcement of current laws. Selling a person with ISIS connections a gun–an AR assault rifle–is unconscionable. The seller didn’t know? The seller should have known.
I’m furious at politicians–Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians. A pox on all their houses! How dare they not do their jobs. I’m mad at apathetic people, those who counsel “thought” and “prayers” to solve our direst problems. I’m mad at the media, at TV news that is biased and simply ON TOO LONG. Orwell’s telescreen in 1984 continually spouted propaganda.
As far as I know, my TV isn’t monitoring me, but my computer is.
I’m mad because education isn’t given the financing it merits. An education helps you assess data and come to informed decisions. The Constitution was not created by uneducated people. The finest minds in the country came together to create our nation. How we dare we shame our forefathers by electing bumpkins to be our leaders!
I’m also mad about that kid in California getting away with rape, but that’s another entire issue–the denigration and control of women. I’m saving that for my next rant.
I’ve come to the conclusion that what’s wrong with America is us. We’re not standing up for our basic principles. We’re sloppy, lazy, and self-focused. We’re closing our eyes to what’s slipping away–and I don’t mean the Fifties (let that time of hypocrisy go). I mean our future.
Lynne Handy, Poet
I am pleased to announce that my novella, The Untold Story of Edwina, is ready for purchase on Amazon.
When poet Maria Pell agrees to write a biography of deceased writer Edwina Frost, she has no clue that the horror fiction maven’s ghost will tag along. Complicating matters is the discovery of a child’s bones on Frost property. How does Louise, Edwina’s aloof sister, figure into the story? Her Poe-quoting cousin James? Then there’s the Spanish poet who writes of peacocks…
Maria loves her housemate, Mathieu. So does her gorgeous red-headed neighbor, Sybi, who shares photos of dried monkey heads to help with his article on voodoo. As Maria’s jealousy grows, will she suffer the same fate as Edwina? Will a malevolent spirit possess her? Read The Untold Story of Edwina to find out.
I’m pleased to announce that my poetry and I are on pages 40-41. Read the magazine.
As a poet and writer, I’m fortunate to live in the Fox Valley in Illinois. Not only does the area proliferate with writers groups, many attached to libraries, there is abundant support for writers. People care enough about local talent to set aside time from busy lives to provide venues, get out and listen to readings, applaud writers, and participate in forums, most of them informal, to solve problems inherent in publishing and marketing.
I’m primarily a poet and want to spend my time creating. The rest of my writing time I spend researching and editing. Once a poem is written and fleshed out, I begin editing. I care passionately about image and sound, and may rewrite a poem forty times before I deem it ready to submit to my poets group, Open Sky Poets, and/or send to editor Gloria Boyer.
Before “Spy Car and Other Poems,” I’d never put a chapbook together. The task seemed daunting because of the number of poems required–40-70. In autumn 2015, I had more than enough and began identifying the poems I wanted to include.
Once I determined the order in which the poems would appear, I handed them over to Kevin Moriarity, who handled the formatting, all dealings with CreateSpace, and most of the marketing.
The MGB on the chapbook cover (and the inspiration for the final poem) belongs to my grandson, Jeff Krabec. Jeff patiently photographed the car (two occasions), and magician friend William Pack waved a magic wand and gave the photograph artistic qualities.
Throughout the process, I enjoyed the support of Open Sky Poets Frank Rutledge, Brandon Fink, and Jen May.

Everyone wants their skin to look as young and beautiful as possible. Treating aging skin takes more than just slapping on wrinkle cream. Your daily skin care routine must be customized to address the needs of your specific skin type and issues. If your goal is to have younger-looking skin, then it's time to develop an age-defying skincare routine.
#1. Exfoliate to remove dead skin.
Exfoliating is an important step for a number of reasons. The first is to remove dead skin and allow new skin growth to come through. This can prevent the build-up of dead skin, which leads to clogged pores that cause breakouts and blackheads. Another reason is to improve your skin's tone and texture by cleansing it deeply at the surface level. It also stimulates blood flow and new cell growth, which can make your face glow more than before! You should exfoliate twice per week, or once every three days if you have oily/acne-prone skin.
#2. Cleanse with a gentle cleanser.
It's significant to cleanse the skin of dirt, oil, and makeup each morning and evening—but you can do damage by using harsh cleansers. To avoid this, stick to gently cleansing ingredients like rose hip seed oil, aloe vera, or jojoba oil. Take care with water temperature as well. You want to avoid hot or scalding water in order to prevent broken capillaries, so always opt for cool or lukewarm. Also, beware of over-cleansing—this can compromise your skin's natural barrier and lead to dryness and irritation.
#3. Moisturize your skin.
Keeping your skin hydrated is the easiest way to prevent signs of aging. That's why it's important to moisturize daily, whether you have dry or oily skin. Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of moisturizer. If you have dry skin, a cream will likely work best, whereas those with oily skin should opt for a gel or lotion. If you have normal or sensitive skin, a hypoallergenic moisturizer is probably your best bet to avoid any unwanted reactions.
#4. Use a serum that reduces wrinkles.
Because they contain smaller molecules than moisturizers, serums penetrate deep into your skin to deliver powerful ingredients that can help with everything from wrinkles to dark spots. They are also more concentrated than most moisturizers, so you only need a few drops each day, which means one bottle can last a long time. The serum contains antioxidants and vitamin C—both of which have been shown to help minimize sun damage to the skin. Antioxidants block free radicals—the unstable molecules that accelerate the aging process—while vitamin C helps brighten dull skin and reduce discoloration.
#5. Apply an anti-aging eye cream.
The next step in your routine is applying anti-aging eye cream. As its name suggests, anti-aging eye cream is a skincare product focused on treating the signs of aging around the eyes. This skin type tends to be very delicate and is also one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Using an eye cream will prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming in this area. These creams also help with puffiness, dark circles, and sun damage. To apply your eye cream, gently dot it under your eyes and follow with a feathery tapping motion. Be careful not to pull or stretch the skin while doing so as this can cause premature wrinkles! Avoid applying too much pressure as well—this can cause puffiness or broken capillaries around the eyes which would defeat the purpose!
#6. Protect your skin with sunscreen.
It's easy to neglect sunscreen in the winter, especially if you live somewhere like New York, where it's cloudy half the time. But it's just as important to protect your skin from sun damage in the winter as it is any other month of the year. The sun will still age your skin when you see it and when you don't. So, how much sunscreen should one be wearing? It depends on several factors, including the SPF of your current sunscreen and how often you're reapplying. As a rule of thumb, we’d recommend wearing at least SPF 20 or 30 daily (this amount is usually enough to cover your face, neck, and ears). Wearing SPF 50+ once every two hours while staying out in direct sunlight is even better.

I have hard time believing that anyone would buy any unauthenticated mosaic tiles as people could simply go to Home Depot and do it by themselves.”
— Space Invader
French mosaic artist Space Invader has traveled the world, and placed his street art in over sixty cities in more than thirty countries. He’s been arrested a few dozen times, but says that’s part of the job.
Life and Education
Space Invader has chosen to remain anonymous, so the little that is known about his comes from his website and interviews that he has chosen to give. Invader is from Paris, went to school at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Sorbonne. Invader says that only a few people know his real name and his parents think that he works for construction companies as a tiler. Invader’s cousin, Mr. Brainwash, shot Banksy’s film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, featured Invader and his work.
Invader’s first tile designs were based on the characters of the Space Invaders video game, although each of his designs are unique and tailored to the city, the building and the context in which it is installed.
Many of Invader’s works are partially built in advance to make it easier to install once he gets to a city and decides where he wants to place his work. Most of the locations that he has used were done without the knowledge or consent of the location’s owner, but, a few years ago, Invader has sent out requests, on social media, asking for building owners to allow him to use their sites legally.
Because of its value, Invader’s work is sometimes vandalized. “A large number of the pieces are removed, damaged or destroyed by individuals who seek to resell them.” he said, “Given the type of tiles I use, to steal the work is impossible. These individuals by removing the mosaics destroy the piece and then have to buy ceramics to repair or recreate the work. They even try to add a patina to make it look vintage. They then try to sell these bad replicas! I have hard time believing that anyone would buy any unauthenticated mosaic tiles as people could simply go to Home Depot and do it by themselves … I can only hope that soon enough nobody will be tempted to buy or steal pieces in the streets and therefore that this nonsense and painful destruction will stop.”
In addition to his tile work, Invader has created works using Rubik’s Cubes and barcode patterns. He has had exhibited in galleries in Hong Kong, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Rome and other major cities, where this works sell in the six-figure range. | <urn:uuid:a6366b51-e0bf-44d9-9b9e-149c5cd6c145> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://vertufineart.com/artists/space-invader/ | 2021-03-02T03:52:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178363217.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20210302034236-20210302064236-00415.warc.gz | en | 0.982533 | 573 |

The Jacksons is a 1976 album released by The Jacksons for Philadelphia International/CBS Records. The album was the band's first for CBS, following their seven-year tenure on Motown as "The Jackson 5".
Jackson 5 member Jermaine Jackson stayed with Motown when his brothers broke their contracts and defected to CBS; he was replaced by youngest Jackson brother Randy.
To ensure chart success, the group was teamed with Philadelphia producers Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, as well as their staff of writers and players.
Despite the promise, "The Jacksons" is hampered by derivative tracks and a lack of knowing what to do with the group, particularly lead singer, Michael Jackson. The big hit here, the jerky "Enjoy Yourself," perfectly captured Michael Jackson's late adolescence, with his newfound vocal tics and inflections.
"Show You the Way to Go" best captures the Philly sound, with a pretty melody and a great vocal from Michael.
The group was able for the first time to write their own material, something that had been denied to them at Motown. The Jacksons composed "Style of Life" and "Blues Away" on their own. "Blues Away" was the first published song written by lead singer Michael Jackson, who began to take a more percussive vocal approach beginning with this album.
This album also spawned the second R&B single "Show You The Way To Go". The album itself placed #36 and #6 on the pop and r&b album chart.
The album was the Jacksons' first gold album, despite selling more than 10 million albums while at Motown. (Motown's sales and financial records were never presented for auditing by the RIAA until 1976).

The Jacksons move to Epic regenerated their enthusiasm and spirit for several years. The Gamble/Huff team brought them fresh material and new production ideas, as well as better tracks and arrangements than they'd gotten in quite a while on Motown.
Goin' Places was The Jacksons' second album for CBS Records' Philadelphia International subsidiary. It was released in 1977, the year before the family group moved to Epic Records in 1978 for their return to mainstream success.
This album did spawn the Disco-hit "Different Kind of Lady" written by the Jacksons.
That song gave the brothers the confidence to decided to write and produce a whole album by themselves.
This album got them R&B and pop hits and kept the family act in the spotlight for a little while longer.
This is considered their lowest selling album next to 2300 Jackson Street.

The Jacksons are finally turned loose to write and produce themselves, and the result is their best (non-hits collection) ever. The dance tracks still sound fresh; "Blame It on the Boogie," "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)"; and the ballads are heartfelt and smooth.
This album is a dry run for Michael Jackson's adult solo career.
The band had left their longtime label Motown in 1976. After a couple of years signed with Philly International, the Jacksons now set their sights on one of CBS Records' most popular labels, Epic.
After their last two CBS albums were spearheaded by legendary producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, Epic allowed the Jackson brothers to write and produce their own material fully for the first time in their career.
Composing much of the album in their home-made recording studio in their gated Hayvenhurst mansion, the group finished recording the album within two months.
Like many of the acts that have left Motown though, the Jacksons were often dealt with the curse that they would no longer enjoy the success they had while associated with the label basically giving the same response after hearing of longtime front man Michael Jackson's move to a full-fledged solo career a year after this album was released.
Released on December 17, 1978, Destiny did what it was supposed to do for the group: re-establish them as a top-selling group. The album's success was largely based on the second single released from the album, "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)", which became a Top 10 single in the spring of 1979.
The single, "Blame It on the Boogie", was also released. The album eventually peaked at number eleven on the Billboard Pop Albums chart and number three on the Billboard Black Albums chart and went on to platinum status cementing it as the first RIAA-certified platinum seller by the Jacksons as most of their Motown recordings were uncertifiable, despite their huge success on the charts.
The accompanying tour was a huge success running on many legs and also toured overseas.

This album's predecessor Destiny was a high-selling album that featured the guys maturing and delving into self-production.
In 1980, Michael Jackson's classic Off the Wall was still selling. This album has the group fleshing out their sound and songwriting abilities even more.
The anthemic "Can't You Feel It" has enough hubris and undeniable craft to get this polished work started.
But as Triumph plays, what's striking is that the songs don't immediately leap out at you but they all land on their feet. The blissful and funky "Lovely One," with its effortless, punchy horns, has Michael Jackson with his quirky vocals and charisma.
At it's best, this is a collaborative effort, not just super-hot Michael Jackson talking his brothers out for a spin. The Jackie Jackson-penned "Your Ways" creates the right mix of paranoia and uncertainty that meshed well with Michael Jackson's high-pitched and haunted lead.
That certainly mixes well with Triumph's best song, "Heartbreak Hotel (which was renamed "This Place Hotel" to avoid confusion with the Elvis Presley song of the same name). The track is an early instance of Michael Jackson's patented love as horror, kisses as doom ethos. The song's creepy aura and sound effects maximize the effect.
The only ballad, "Time Waits for No One" has Michael Jackson getting weepy on the delicate and well-arranged track.
The masterful "Walk Right Now" and "Give It Up" are two great examples of the group's chops in the studio and their grasp of the L.A. pop/funk sound.
Triumph is a gorgeous effort and remains an absolute necessity for any comprehensive collection.
When it was released, the album became the Jacksons' first album to reach number-one on the R&B Albums chart since Maybe Tomorrow in 1971, and went Platinum a year after its release.

The Jacksons Live! is a live album by The Jacksons, recorded and released during their popular Triumph tour in 1981.
The live show featured songs from the group's Motown and CBS recordings, and also songs from lead singer Michael's Off the Wall LP.
At this point, Michael, age twenty-three, was among the most popular performers in pop music, and The Jacksons had become legends in their own time and attained their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Triumph tour would be the group's last tour together for four years, while Michael released the highly successful Thriller album and its singles in 1982 and 1983.
In 1988, Rolling Stone magazine described the Triumph tour as one of the best 25 tours from 1967 to 1987.
It's easy to forget, in the wake of a decade of bizarre behavior, rumors, and innuendo surrounding Michael Jackson that the Jacksons were once known solely for being a major music franchise. This live album, which was pretty obscure in its original double-LP vinyl version, is a reminder of how great an act they were, and captures what was just about the end of Michael Jackson's work with the family group, all of it very much on a high-note.
Live opens with a pounding, powerful rendition of "Can You Feel It" and, with one exception, never lets up, pushing on through a high-velocity and high-articulation version of "Things I Do for You," and a soaring "Off the Wall".
Michael Jackson slows things down for "Ben", "This Place Hotel" and the "She's Out of My Life" make up for that lapse.
The last section of the album, commencing with Off the Wall's "Rock With You," is practically a live rendition of that album, and so bracing as to almost exhaust the listener; and the preceding medley of their early Motown hits is just about worth the asking price of the disc by itself.
On the down side, there are no notes and barely any credits, and the volume is set a bit low, but it pumps up beautifully with virtually no excess noise. The album is worth tracking down as an artifact of a simpler, more unabashedly joyous time in music, as well as the family's history.

Victory is a 1984 album by The Jacksons for CBS/Epic Records. It was the only album to include all six Jackson brothers together on one record.
After a successful reunion on the Motown 25 television special in 1983, Jermaine Jackson decided to return to the group, having left Motown after nine years as a full-fledged soloist.
His brothers had left Motown in 1975. Tensions reportedly grew between the brothers during the recording sessions; as a result, little publicity photography was done, and an illustration was commissioned for the album cover (this is also why the album only had two videos: "Torture" and "Body"and neither Jermaine nor Michael appeared in either one).
As well, the brothers rarely worked together on the album; it was mainly composed of solo songs the brothers had each worked on during that time. The song "State of Shock" peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Two later singles, "Torture" and "Body", were less successful.
Victory was supported by the Victory Tour, with lead singer Michael Jackson, who had recently released the world's all-time best-selling album, Thriller, prominently featured.
Shortly after the tour ended, Michael and Marlon Jackson quit the band. Jermaine, Tito, Randy and Jackie Jackson continued on as the Jacksons, and releasing one more album, 1989's 2300 Jackson Street.

What more people out there need to understand is that when they run their own business, things are not always going to be on the up and up. There will be times where things are going well and then there will be other times where things are a little bit harder to deal with. And this is because life is a long time and all sorts of different things can occur in life.
This can range from illness to break-ins, to equipment breaking, to staff changes, as well as everything in-between. This can even include things such as a worldwide pandemic which caused a lot of havoc when it came to running a small business. But no matter what the case may be, it is important that people are able to bounce back which is why this post is dedicated to how you can emerge even stronger than before when implementing supply chain and logistics.
You can emerge even stronger than before when implementing supply chain and logistics as you are able to give yourself a clear view
You can emerge even stronger than before when implementing supply chain and logistics as you are able to give yourself a clear view. One of the many reasons why people were not able to act quickly when it came to the pandemic is because they were not able to see into the future as well as how this was going to impact their business not only in the present moment but also in the future. But when people look into something such important such as this, they are able to see clearly what is going on when disaster does strike and they may even be able to predict this disaster before it happens.
This way, business owners are able to take more of a proactive approach and they are able to make more informed decisions than before. And this may not only help when it comes to profits but it also may help when it comes to keeping a brand intact and dependable for customers. Furthermore, this can save a lot of stress and time consuming work for employees who may already be burned out due to the pandemic and don’t have anything left to give, especially to a sinking ship.
You can also emerge even stronger than before when implementing supply chain and logistics as everything can be in one place
You can also emerge even stronger than before when implementing supply chain and logistics as everything can be in one place. What can often happen when someone runs their own business is that they will have all sorts of online documents and spreadsheets shared across a bunch of different computers and this can make things really hard to find for the rest of their employees. What people really need is something that is easy to access for everyone in the team and from any computer, especially in moments of urgency.
And all of this can easily occur when people look into this very important service and they can make sure that things are not going to missing, are duplicated, or are misinterpreted. For example, someone may accidentally delete an important spreadsheet or have it go missing on their personal computer. Whatever the case may be, people are able to reduce the chances of this occurring when they are able to look into implementing something new such as this and they are able to emerge stronger every than before, ready to tackle anything that comes their way. | <urn:uuid:2186b40c-7fb9-4425-8d26-30b4270f6ea8> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.prideentertainment.net/how-you-can-emerge-even-stronger-than-before-when-implementing-supply-chain-and-logistics/ | 2022-10-02T07:39:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337287.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002052710-20221002082710-00112.warc.gz | en | 0.984038 | 640 |
Imagine, if you can, traveling across five continents and sighting each landscape from the air, while simultaneously being exposed to four seasons—all in less than four minutes. Making that impossible, possible, is the short film Chemin Vert, a collaboration of Giacomo Micheli, a creative coder and computer scientist from Rome, and A Ghost Train, an electronic music project by Portuguese musician Paulo Pinto. Based on Micheli’s childhood fantasy of riding a rocket from the ground at full speed, the absorbing, 3:15-long clip takes the viewers on a visually accelerated road trip via Google Street View that captures the panoramic frame of roads and their surroundings at about 1000 mph. But this film comes with yet another twist: A high-resolution version that immerses viewers into the film, allowing them to control their speed, and navigate the direction and explore the distinct landscapes across each continent, simply by using the mouse and the arrow keys. Though the stereographic projection compromises the experience of immersion and the graphics of the high-resolution video, it still allows the viewers to concentrate on the augmentation of the landscapes, and witness electronic music in landscape architecture form. Micheli anticipates installing this clip in a full dome projection where viewers could experience the virtual reality in domed architecture for the ultimate ‘Chemin Vert’ experience. • vimeo.com/37214968

Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.
Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence, and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolize "break time." This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Tivo have released a new search function that searches over not only the content on the box or that provided by the broadcaster subscribed to, but stretches beyond this to encompass relevant results from the TiVoCast service and Amazon Unbox™ on TiVo.
Being TiVo, they’ve tried to make the process as simple as possible with the starting point being the TV programmes that each viewer likes, in their words …
Universal Swivel Search allows viewers to seamlessly link from descriptions of one program to all others that have common elements, including program name, actors, or suggestions based on other viewers’ feedback. Additionally, users can find programs related to a specific subject with ‘tags,’ which are topic-related terms that might not be included in the program’s title or episode description, but fall under an over-arching subject of interest.
We see this as a smart move by TiVo, as they’ll get subscribers thinking out of the box (sorry, couldn’t resist that one), opening the growing sea of content to them.
If you’re a TiVo subscriber with a Series2 or Series3 box, you’ve got a chance to get on-board and sign up for it now.

TUCSON, Ariz. - The Arizona volleyball team opened the Wildcat Classic and the 2012 season with a 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 25-14) sweep over Evansville on Friday morning inside McKale Center.
The Arizona sophomore tandem of Madi Kingdon (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Taylor Arizobal (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) paced the Wildcats with a combined 31 kills and 23 digs. Both finished with double-doubles as Kingdon had 17 kills and 10 digs, while Arizobal finished with 14 kills and 13 digs. Junior Candace Nicholson (Long Beach, Calif.) led the UA defense with 19 digs. Meanwhile, Chanel Brown (Tempe, Ariz.) quarterbacked the UA offense by dishing out a match-high 41 assists to go along with eight digs.
The Wildcats out-hit Evansville, .218 to .058, while also out-blocking the Purple Aces, 9-3 in the season opener. Freshman Olivia Magill (Seattle, Wash.) made her presence felt at the night with a match-high six blocks for the Cats.
"I wasn't quite sure what to expect with the first match and I thought there were certain aspects of the game that were very good," head coach Dave Rubio said. "We served well, passed well and defended well, but I thought that there are certainly some things we can improve on."
In the opening set, the Wildcats got off to a quick start by jumping out to a 6-1 lead, which forced an early Evansville timeout. Evansville pulled to within two on a couple of occasions, but after the Purple Aces cut the lead to 19-17 on an Arizona attack error, the Wildcats regained the momentum by winning the next three points. Arizona closed out the set on a kill by Kingdon. Both teams struggled in the opening set as Arizona out-hit Evansville, .128 to .093 in the frame. Kingdon led all scorers in the first set with seven kills.
The Wildcats had a slight advantage throughout the opening parts of the second set, but could never quite pull away from Evansville. Clinging to a three point advantage at 17-14, Arizona reeled off three straight points to grab a five point lead. With the Cats in front 24-20, freshman Halli Amaro (Las Alamitos, Calif.) clinched the second set with her seventh kill of the match. Kingdon and Arizobal paced UA in the set with six and five kills, respectively. The Wildcats out-hit Evansville, .250 to .095 in the set. Amaro recorded seven kills and two blocks in the match.
After Evansville jumped out to an early 4-2 lead in the third set, Arizona won the next four points to take a two point advantage of its own. The Wildcats extended their lead and cruised to a match clinching 25-14 third set victory. UA out-hit Evansville, .312 to -.029 in the frame.
Evansville was led by Ashley Ring, who finished with 12 kills and 11 digs for a double-double. Katie Klages led the Purple Aces defensively with 16 digs.
The Wildcats will face Cal State Northridge in the nightcap at 7 p.m. before closing out the tournament against Utah Valley on Sunday at 7 p.m.

Celtic Solstice Part 1
year was no different. We grappled with health issues in the family, some of which have been resolved, some not. Fall classes started up in September at my Local Yarn Shop, so I've been doing lots of knitting. Hubby sided the house this summer with cedar shingles, and that work had to get finished before winter. We had 9 cords of wood to cut, split, and stack; and there was the fall clean up in the yard.
All in all, not a lot of quilting has gotten done since August. I did finish the Turning Twenty quilt (renamed Rainbow Jungle), and I think that's the last project I worked on seriously. I've tried to get back into my sewing, but nothing really moved me. . . until Bonnie Hunter sent out a newsletter that her annual mystery was starting at the end of November. Nothing like a good Bonnie Hunter mystery to get you back in the swing of things!
So far I've only made 30 of 92 orange-blue triangle units for Part 1. I'm taking my time because I am experimenting with each of the four methods Bonnie mentioned in the first clue--using the Inklingo software to print on fabric, using the Inklingo software to cut templates, foundation piecing, and cutting out pieces using the TriRecs rulers. The units I pieced with Inklingo went together Perfectly, but foundation piecing is my preferred method right now. I'm cutting slightly oversized shapes with the TriRecs rulers, then paper piecing them. Extra work, I suppose, but I'm enjoying it instead of stressing whether or not they'll finish to the right size, and I'm really not in any hurry.
Bonnie didn't disappoint with her colors for the Easy Street Mystery last year, nor with the Lazy Sunday Mystery in Quiltmaker magazine, in January; so I decided to go with her color choices again this year. I am Lovin' the orange-blue combination so far.
See what other mystery quilters are doing on Bonnie's blog here.
We had a little snow yesterday, an inch or so, and it was a gray, cold, raw day today--a perfect day to stay in and sew. | <urn:uuid:7dbe4f32-eff6-4d0a-88d9-c35d03356f9f> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://northwindsquilting.blogspot.com/2013/12/celtic-solstice-part-1.html | 2016-12-03T23:50:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698541142.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170901-00067-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971079 | 474 |
Choosing sunscreen might at first seem like an easy task before you see the wide variety of options available. Have you ever checked the SPF (sun protection factor) of your sunscreen? You should, as this is what will form the basis of your skin’s sun protection. Below, we’ll go into detail on which sunscreen to choose, how to apply and reapply it, the Australian sunscreen standards, the health benefits of sunscreen, and much more.
If you’re interested in reading specific information, click on one of the navigation links below to jump directly to that topic.
Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing sunscreen:
When choosing sunscreen, make sure you read the label, as not all of them are the same. Always choose sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection against both UVA/UVB rays. UVB rays cause sunburn while UVA rays contribute to skin aging, and both can be harmful and cause sun damage. Only products that are specifically tested are labelled ‘broad-spectrum’.
When choosing sunscreen, you need to make sure that it is SPF 30+ or higher. The SPF (sun protection factor) indicates the degree of protection that the sunscreen provides against UVB radiation. SPF 30+ filters out about 97% of UVB rays and SPF 50+ about 98%. No sunscreen gives you 100% sun protection.
When choosing sunscreen for swimming, you need to opt for water resistant sunscreen. No sunscreens are completely waterproof, so you’ll need to reapply it according to manufacturer’s instructions to maintain its effectiveness. Sunscreen also rubs off when you dry yourself with a towel, meaning you’ll need to put it on again for continued sun protection.
Make sure to apply sunscreen properly at least 20-30 minutes before you go outdoors. This gives the sunscreen ample time to work before your skin is exposed to the sun. Be generous with the amount of sunscreen you use, as it’s better to put on slightly too much than not enough. Sun damage can occur when we don’t apply enough sunscreen, or if we don’t apply it frequently enough.
For adults, apply at least 5ml (one teaspoon) for each area of the body – leg, face, neck, arm, etc. For your whole body, as a rough guide you might use 35ml (seven teaspoons). Obviously if you’re a bigger/taller person, you might need more, and if you’re a smaller person, you might need less. Apply sunscreen to all areas of the body that aren’t covered by clothing.
When using sunscreen, make sure you reapply every two hours or directly after swimming to stay safe against UVA/UVB rays.
Other than using sunscreens in Australia, other ways of protecting yourself from sun damage include protecting your skin by wearing long sleeved clothing that covers you well, staying in the shade to limit exposure to direct sunlight, avoiding tanning beds and sun lamps, and wearing sunglasses and a broad brimmed sunhat. For the best in sun protection, combine these sun smart ideas with sunscreen to protect against UVA/UVB rays.
For more information on how to protect yourself from the sun and prevent skin cancer, read our handy Skin Cancer Prevention Guide.
The Australian sunscreen standards state that an SPF (sun protection factor) rating of 50+ filters out 98% of UV radiation, while an SPF 30+ filters out 96.7%. A broad spectrum sunscreen filters out both harmful UVA/UVB rays and is the best choice of sunscreen.
Manufacture of sunscreens in Australia is regulated by the Australian Government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration. All sunscreens are tested to make sure they are safe, follow the TGA approved formula, have valid SPF claims, and contain the necessary active ingredients. Some people have qualms about using sunscreen, but it’s a highly regulated arena, and ultimately sunscreen saves lives.
It’s best to protect your skin by choosing Australian made sunscreen, as you can be sure that sunscreen in Australia adheres to our country’s standards of protection. When you opt for an Australian sunscreen, you know what the SPF (sun protection factor) means in terms of saving your skin from aging, burning and skin cancer.
The short answer is yes, sunscreen will prevent tanning to a large extent. If you’re still getting a tan while using sunscreen, you may not be applying it properly, or often enough. It’s possible a small amount of tanning may still occur when wearing sunscreen, as no sunscreen blocks 100% of the sun’s rays. However, your priority should not be tanning, but preventing sun damage that can lead to the most common types of skin cancer.
It sure does. According to the Australian Cancer Council, “in 2010, Australians prevented more than 1700 cases of melanoma and 14,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer thanks to regular sunscreen use over the previous decade.”
Skin care experts recommend that you do wear sunscreen every day on areas that are commonly open to sun exposure, such as the face, neck and hands. This can also help to prevent sun damage. Making it part of your regular daily routine means that you can protect your skin from aging, burning and skin cancer as a matter of course.
First of all, you should choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. If you want the highest protection, choose SPF 50+. If you’re happy with a lower protection, use SPF30+. Don’t forget to choose a sunscreen that’s water resistant if you’ll be swimming.
Sunscreen can be used for kids, but you should be careful when applying that it doesn’t get into their eyes or mouths. Be aware of sunscreen safety in this way. There are many sunscreens on the market with application options that are easier for kids to use. There are also sunscreens that use natural ingredients which are designed for more sensitive skin that are dermatologically tested to be paraben and fragrance free.

Columbia University Psychologist Dr. Derald Wing Sue has pioneered research on what are called "racial microaggressions" or experiences of racism that are so subtle that neither victim nor perpetrator may entirely understand what is going on. These microaggressions can range from more overt behaviors like name calling, to insensitivity to a person's racial heritage, to comments that negate the feelings of minority people. Think about things like an Asian American person repeatedly being asked "where are you from?" which can send the message that they are not American. Or an African American person being followed around a store. In both of these cases it isn't entirely clear that a racist even occurred, but if you are a minority and these things happen all the time you start to really notice them. While a single negative comment isn't likely to send someone spiraling to full blown depression or substance abuse, emerging research suggests that the accumulation of these subtle negative experiences can build up and may prove to be especially toxic for minority people.
Dr. Sue has grouped various kinds of microaggressions into three areas:
A microassault is an explicit verbal or nonverbal attack meant to hurt the intended victim through name-calling, avoidant behavior, or purposeful discriminatory actions.Read more: | <urn:uuid:81dc591c-d36c-4fdc-aa71-20934d47230a> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://fathermartykurylowicz.blogspot.com/2010/08/unmasking-subtle-heterosexism.html | 2017-08-23T17:20:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886123312.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823171414-20170823191414-00259.warc.gz | en | 0.932709 | 255 |

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva speaks during the Global Women’s Forum in the Gulf emirate of Dubai on February 16, 2020.

The global economic downturn has been so severe that already half of the world has asked the International Monetary Fund for a bailout, the organization’s chief said Wednesday.
“This is an emergency like no other. It is not because of bad governors or mistakes,” Kristalina Georgieva told CNBC’s Sara Eisen on CNBC’s “Squawk Alley.” “For that reason, we are providing funding very quickly.”
“We are asking for one thing only: Please pay your doctors and nurses, make sure that your health [care] systems are functioning, and that vulnerable people and first responders are protected,” Georgieva said.
Georgieva comments came after the IMF said Tuesday it expects the global economy to contract by 3% this year, adding the world could see a 1930’s style recession. The fund had forecast a 3.3% economic expansion for 2020 in January.
Georgieva noted the global economy could expand by 5.8% in 2021 if the virus is contained and new cases start to recede. However, she added the total global economic output would be less than in 2019 even with such a jump. Economic output could also be worse if the virus takes a “double trip” around the world.
“It’s the first time in the history of the IMF that epidemiologists are as important as macro economists for our projections,” said Georgieva. “We are really hoping our scientists will not disappoint us.”
More than 2 million coronavirus cases have been confirmed globally, according to Johns Hopkins University. In the U.S. alone, over 600,000 cases have been confirmed.

Definitions and History of Emotional Intelligence
It all began about 2,000 years ago when Plato wrote, “All learning has an emotional base.” Since then, scientists, educators, and philosophers have worked to prove or disprove the importance of feelings. Unfortunately, for a large part of those two millenia, common thought was, “Emotions are in the way. They keep us from making good decisions, and they keep us from focusing.” In the last three decades, a growing body of research is proving just the opposite.
In the 1950′s, Abraham Maslow wrote about how people could enhance their emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental strengths. His work sparked the “Human Potential” movement which could be the greatest celebration of humanism since the Renaissance. In the 1970s and 80s this led to the development of many new sciences of human capacity. Serious research was occurring to define both emotions and intelligence. One of these researchers was Peter Salovey, now Provost and Professor at Yale University. He says that over the last few decades, beliefs about emotions and intelligence have both changed — where intelligence was once perfection, people were recognizing that there was more to life. Where emotion was once perdition, people were recognizing that it might have substantive value.
There is ongoing discussion about the origins of “EQ,” but consensus is that the seminal publication was an article called “Emotional Intelligence” by Peter Salovey and John “Jack” Mayer in 1990. The article defined EQ as a scientifically testable “intelligence.” Salovey says he and Jack were equal coauthors, and he got his name first because of a coin toss. The team has gone on to publish numerous articles, and their definition of EQ has evolved to:
“Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive emotions; to access and generate emotions so as to assist thought; to understand emotions and emotional knowledge; and to reflectively regulate emotions so as to promote emotional and intellectual growth.”
In other words, there are four parts:
1. Perceive or sense emotions,
2. Use emotions to assist thought,
3. Understand emotions,
4. Manage emotions.
As their colleague David Caruso writes, “It is very important to understand that emotional intelligence is not the opposite of intelligence, it is not the triumph of heart over head — it is the unique intersection of both.”
Daniel Goleman drew on the research of Salovey and Mayer, as well as several other key researchers and practitioners, for his bestselling book, Emotional Intelligence. In addition to the research, Goleman reviewed best practice in education. He wrote about two school programs, Six Seconds’ “Self-Science” and the New Haven Schools’ Social Development program. He also spoke with many “hard” science researchers and saw how their work connected with what was occurring on the leading edge in schools and organizations. (Here is an interview with Goleman where he discusses the origins.)
In 1997, Six Seconds’ team sought to take those best-practices and create a framework for teaching and practicing the skills of EQ. They went beyond the scientific definition to capture the practical value of the concepts that are worth teaching and learning. Their definition of emotional intelligence is, “The capacities to create optimal results in your relationships with yourself and others.”
Six Seconds also developed a model that captures those practices in three areas: “Know Yourself,” “Choose Yourself,” and “Give Yourself.,” with eight specific skills. Six Seconds’ approach mirrors David Caruso’s vision: The goal is to integrate thinking and feeling to live more effectively.
The Six Seconds Model is focused on action — within the three action steps, or “pursuits,” are eight learnable competencies. These are measured by Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Assessment, and there is proof that with training scores on these skills increase (White Paper: Increasing EQ).
While the various models of emotional intelligence structure the concept differently, all are concerned with the integration of emotion, reason, and action. Where “pre-EQ theory” suggests that emotion is a byproduct of thought, the EQ models all point out that emotion is meaningful unto itself. Hence Six Seconds uses a triangle to show that thoughts, feelings, and actions are co-equally interlocking.
Another leading researcher whose work inspired both Goleman and Six Seconds was Antonio Damasio. In Descarte’s Error, Damasio outlines how emotions are functioning in the brain to create people’s sense of identity and guide rational decision making. He continues to discuss this work in The Feeling of What Happens, where he contends that our sense of being conscious comes from emotion.
Damasio’s contributions provide powerful evidence that it is artificial to separate thinking and feeling. Other researchers would go further. Candace Pert is a leading neurobiologist who wrote Molecules of Emotion, was the chief of the brain chemistry section of the NIH from 1982 to 1988, and is now a professor at Johns Hopkins Medical School.
Pert’s perspective is that “thinking” occurs in the brain and the body. All kinds of “information” is processed throughout the body — ideas, feelings, and maybe even spiritual impulses. While the brain has the most processing power, it is not necessarily driving the system. Pert’s assertion is certainly a far cry from the notion that the “rational” brain is the center of human essence. (Here is an interview with Dr Pert)
So, what does it matter? While some researchers have focused on defining the skills of emotional intelligence, others have looked at the effects. Reuven Bar-On has been interested in non-cognitive competencies since the mid-1980s. He developed a test that measures people’s self-report of these competencies, called the EQ-i.
Bar-On’s definition is: “Emotional intelligence is an array of noncognitive capabilities, competencies, and skills that influence one’s ability to succeed in coping with environmental demands and pressures.” Again similar to Six Seconds’ approach, Bar-On is focusing on the real-world results.
Dr. Bar-On explains how his work is similar to and different from Salovey/Mayer’s: “We are both assuming a cognitive schemata and attempting to empirically demonstrate that this construct is not personality. They are relating primarily to a specific set of emotional abilities and a potential for behavior (emotional intelligence), while I am focusing on emotional and social functioning or behavior (emotionally and socially intelligent behavior).”
The EQ-i assesses five areas: Intrapersonal (awareness), Interpersonal (relationships), Stress Management (stress tolerance), Adaptability (problem solving), and General Mood (happiness).
Another useful definition comes from Q-Metrics, the creators of the EQ Map. They say: “Emotional intelligence is the ability to sense, understand, and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions as a source of human energy, information, trust, creativity and influence.” One key insight from this model is that having a capacity or skill is not enough to create real-world results.
Q-Metrics’ CEO, Esther Orioli, explains, “I know plenty of CEOs who have the skill to empathize or give positive support. They don’t do it. Why not? Because they just don’t think it important.” Orioli points out that when leaders see how certain behaviors create more positive results, they do change their values. “Values dictate how we spend our time and resources. If we teach people skills in a vacuum, without relating them to their value and belief system, there is no real benefit,” Orioli concludes.
One of the more recent measurement tools is the Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Assessment (SEI – see www.6seconds.org/tools/sei/); it was built “from the ground up” for development. Focused on eight learnable competencies in a simple, clear model, the test provides insightful feedback and many development suggestions. The purpose is to assist people to enhance the way they use EQ skills in their leadership and life. A comparison of all these tests and more is online (www.6seconds.org/tests/).
No doubt the field of emotional intelligence will continue to develop. Bar-On says the key is refining the research of development, effects, and assessment. He predicts we will also see, “A more clear connection between EI, individual/group performance, and group/organizational productivity. As a result of this activity, we will have a much more accurate and empirical view of what this construct is — and what it can and cannot do.”
Dr. Salovey offers a similar conclusion: “I agree with Dr. Bar-On. I think in the coming decade we will see well conducted research demonstrating that emotional skills and competencies predict positive outcomes at home with one’s family, in school, and at work. The real challenge is to show that emotional intelligence matters over-and-above psychological constructs that have been measured for decades like personality and IQ. I believe that emotional intelligence holds this promise.”
Comparison of EQ Models
All the models touch on understanding yourself, taking charge of yourself, and then applying that awareness and ability in your interactions with others.

Before I start this post, I just have to share a photo I snapped last night at the beach in Bayfield.
Right before sunset two planes passed overhead.
How fantastic is that!?!
To see all the pics I snap through the week… follow along on Instagram!
Ok… Now For My Design Tip!
Has this ever happened to you?
You are out shopping and you see a pillow or blouse a scarf or bag that you think would work well with something you have at home in your closet or living room so you buy it.
At home you excitedly pull it out of the bag and race to see how smart you were…
The anticipation brewing up ready to overflow in self congratulations!
You just KNOW it’s going to be Perfect!!!!
Then you realize…
It doesn’t work!
Now you are left disappointed and with a return trip to the store in your very near future…
You wasted time, energy and money.
Insert frustrated sigh…
Colour memory is a gift.
Some are blessed with a better skill set than others but it isn’t just colour memory… sometimes it is the lighting in the store so let yourself off the hook!!
Over the years I have developed a trick to help.
Whether you are looking for a pillow to add to your living room or a scarf to complement a new suit…
This easy trick will save you time, money and a lot of extra hauling of stuff from store to store!
Invest in a paint chip deck to have a at home.
When you buy a skirt that you want to match a blouse or earrings to for example.
Match the item to a chip from the paint deck.
Then write that chip number down.
If you are anything like me you will be in the proximity of a paint store on a regular basis…
Pick up a chip the next time you are in and then write a note to yourself…
Here are a few that I have in my purse right now.
Now I can pull them out in a store and check easily…
I am currently looking for some pale ice blue bedding, earrings and shoes for an upcoming wedding, a long skirt to go with a beautiful scarf I have and accessories to go on a painted side table for a client project.
Once you get in the habit of doing it, you won’t believe how much time it saves.
Well… what do you think?
Will you give it a try??
On a personal note…
I also want to share a few photos of my parents today.
As many of you know, they celebrate their 50th anniversary this summer. We gave them a surprise reno of their living and dining rooms as our gift… here is the reveal if you missed it!
We also wanted to take some photos of them for a keepsake. Our son Spencer came up with a fantastic idea to go back to the Stratford park where they had their wedding photos taken fifty years ago.
I thought you might enjoy seeing a few of them!
Here they are on the same bridge… fifty years later!!
They are so cute!!!
hope you have a fantastic week! | <urn:uuid:1f163817-58fb-4dcd-bd42-5a56342dcc95> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://cynthiaweber.com/easy-design-tip-will-save-ton-headaches/ | 2023-02-06T03:50:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500303.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20230206015710-20230206045710-00255.warc.gz | en | 0.950584 | 676 |
School’s (Not Quite) Out The ABCs of learning platform naming conventions
Amidst sudden school closures brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, many remote learning platforms are taking the virtual centre stage. What can the naming convention language of these brands tell us about their power to sustain learning in the current climate and beyond?
Names of brand offerings like ‘Google Classroom’ and ‘Microsoft Teams’ recreate the collaborative shared space of school environments, whilst ‘Blackboard’ and ‘Khan’s Academy’ recall traditional scholastic icons – signalling academic rigour.
Platforms offering communication services, such as ‘Zoom’ and ‘Seesaw’, embody online movement from one space to another by evoking active dynamism. Linguistic references to ‘fire’ in ‘Fire Tech’ and ‘Firefly’ blend digital technology with elemental energy connoting a spirited, passionate drive for learning.
Some brand names, such as ‘Thirdspace’, embrace and amplify the distance from the classroom to an extra-terrestrial scale. Along a similar theme, ‘Atom’ and ‘Twinkl’ draw on astronomical language of stars to connote immense power compacted into small pockets – coding the closed home learning space as an open frontier for exploration.
Who knows if school’s now out for summer or beyond, but the future of our understanding of learning will be altered by the meteoric rise of online platforms.

Nanowire solar cells raise efficiency limit
(Nanowerk News) Scientists from the Nano-Science Center at the Niels Bohr Institut, Denmark and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, have shown that a single nanowire can concentrate the sunlight up to 15 times of the normal sun light intensity. The results are surprising and the potential for developing a new type of highly efficient solar cells is great.
Due to some unique physical light absorption properties of nanowires, the limit of how much energy we can utilize from the sun's rays is higher than previous believed. These results demonstrate the great potential of development of nanowire-based solar cells, says PhD Peter Krogstrup on the surprising discovery that is described in the journal Nature Photonics ("Single-nanowire solar cells beyond the Shockley–Queisser limit").
Nanowire crystals are used as the solar cells. The image (left) shows a SEM (Scaning Electron Microscope) image of GaAs nanowire crystal grown on a Silicon substrate. A TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) image (middle) shows a single nanowire. Further zooming in on the crystal structure, using STEM (Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope) imaging, shows the actual atomic columns (right). (Image: Niels Bohr Institute)
The research groups have during recent years studied how to develop and improve the quality of the nanowire crystals, which is a cylindrical structure with a diameter of about 10,000 part of a human hair. The nanowires are predicted to have great potential in the development not only of solar cells, but also of future quantum computers and other electronic products.
It turns out that the nanowires naturally concentrate the sun's rays into a very small area in the crystal by up to a factor 15. Because the diameter of a nanowire crystal is smaller than the wavelength of the light coming from the sun it can cause resonances in the intensity of light in and around nanowires. Thus, the resonances can give a concentrated sunlight, where the energy is converted, which can be used to give a higher conversion effeciency of the sun's energy, says Peter Krogstrup, who with this discovery contributes to that the research in solar cell technology based on nanowires get a real boost.
New efficiency limit
The typical efficiency limit - the so-called "Shockley-Queisser Limit" - is a limit, which for many years has been a landmark for solar cells efficiency among researchers, but now it seems that it may be increased.
It's exciting as a researcher to move the theoretical limits, as we know. Although it does not sound like much, that the limit is moved by only a few percent, it will have a major impact on the development of solar cells, exploitation of nanowire solar rays and perhaps the extraction of energy at international level. However, it will take some years years before production of solar cells consisting of nanowires becomes a reality, says Peter Krogstrup who just completed his PhD at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.
The research is conducted in collaboration with the Laboratory des Matériaux Semiconducteurs, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, the Foundation and the company SunFlake A / S. Their scientific findings work support results published in the journal Science in January. Here, a group of researchers from Lund, showed that the sun's rays was sucked into the nanowires due to the high amount of power that their solar cell produced.

So, I finished up my taxes yesterday, but had to contend with these annoying drips and drabs of stocks I had liquidated last year. Specifically, I had anywhere between 0.1 shares and 0.54 shares of a variety of stocks that I had sold long ago. The reason was that I had reinvested dividends and accumulated fractional shares in my brokerage account.
Let me tell you that calculating the cost basis on these things was annoying and took far longer than it should have. With a few of them, I just took a zero cost basis, meaning that rather than just the capital gain being taxed, the whole thing was taxed because it wasn't worth my time to figure it out. Sure, it cost me a little bit of money, but I figure the government might be able to make use of my charity these days. | <urn:uuid:43490238-b669-4906-a391-8e16270101aa> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://fmonitor.blogspot.com/2011/04/cost-basis-and-dividend-reinvestments.html | 2017-11-19T06:25:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805417.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119061756-20171119081756-00334.warc.gz | en | 0.993869 | 170 |
Two months after the operator entered administration, the football index published an explanation about the allocation of money which could still be owed to players.
After a massive exodus of consumers and investors, the enterprise halted operation in March 2020 because of its decision to slash players’ dividend from 14p to 3p. Many consumers have now lost thousands of pounds overnight. The party went on management and was terminated until its participation of jdl555 malaysia betting and gaming boards was suspended by the Gambling Commission.
The joint managers of the BetIndex Ltd – which is the Football Index – Richard Toone, Adrian Hyde and Adrian Rabet of Begbies Traynor LLP, were then selected. On 30 April 2021, the administrators for BetIndex Limited released a request for the proper allocation, as well as the listing of those consumer groups that could be eligible to share in these funds, of the monies invested in the Football Index Player Protection account.”
On Friday, the enterprise declared a drastic cut in these dividends, resulting in a dramatic crash in “share rates.” This is after repeated promises that the business is financially stable. Many users of their Football Index portfolio have tens of thousands of pounds, losing massive funds overnight. The Football Index group has been challenged in the last few days when consumers have had to confront a loss of large amounts from a forum operated as a gambling website, which is considered a “stock market” football and used by many as an investment product.
The board of the firm met with external legal and financial consultants, and the UK and Jersey Gambling Commissions according to a statement this evening. The decision to suspend the network has been taken. The declaration recognised that the adjustments in the dividend were “unwelcome” and that the firm is now undertaking a “restructure.” The trading platform of the web has been suspended as part of this operation, and trade, deposits and withdrawals cannot be made.
Engaged in turning yourself
In a Thursday statement the Department of Public Security in Guangdong Province http://www.jdl555.com/my/en-us/ urged cross-players to turn in by 30 April. In exchange, the government will take more cautious action.
The Department reported on two incidents of online gaming that are being used and promoted, and asked “flying criminals” to turn in to report their names and identification numbers for citizens of mainland China. All of those instances was an operation under the name “Sands Macao” that has been operating since 2020. The leaders of the group will face critical questions about their repetitive promises about the survival of the company before it collapses.
In recent days the company’s leadership has shown damning signs that the product was “garantized” and even encouraged fans to take on their credit card debt to the platform.
Nottingham Forest and QPR are seriously questioned as to whether they can maintain the Football Index as their jersey sponsor. A forest spokesman said that, although QPR had not spoken, the club was considering it. | <urn:uuid:055daa48-4adf-4347-ab9d-24a6710be492> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.iidco.org/football-index-concerns-declaration-concerning-money-distribution/ | 2022-08-19T01:36:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573540.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819005802-20220819035802-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.972418 | 638 |
The 2020 NFL schedule is here! The feel of a new season, even under unusual circumstances, is always awesome and something I’ve always looked forward to, both as a fan and as a player. As a fan, you might look for home games first, to get excited about attending them, and then primetime games and away game times.
As a player, it’s a little different. These are the five things we look for when the schedule drops.
1) Bye week
This is, hands down, the No. 1 thing players look for when the schedule is released. And it’s not because we don’t want to play, but more because we get a break. Not just a physical break, but a mental break.
Camp starts on Aug. 1 and the last Sunday of the regular season is Jan. 3. That’s roughly 22 weeks of football. During those 22 weeks, we will not get off more than three days — and that might be generous — until the bye week. We understand the physical rigors of the game, but that’s a long mental haul. Your body is beat up, your mind is stressed from the anxiety of playing, and you’ve spent less time around your family.
During the bye week, all of that goes away. You get a mental break from preparing and playing, and you get to spend time with family. A bye week is at least four days off, and many coaches end up giving you longer than that. Players can escape with a vacation, as I did frequently. After the bye week, you return to the team refreshed and ready for the rest of the season.
Preferably, your bye week is in the middle of the season. Week 8-10 is the best for everyone, including the coaching staff. During a bye week, the coaches do a self scout of the team’s play. They figure out what the team is good, average and bad at doing. Then, after the bye, you’d ideally change your identity to match what you do well. It’s easier to have a full set of data for the self scout after half a season, rather than after just a month of football.
2) Thursday Night Football
Thursday Night Football is important for players because just like a bye week, it’s a designated spot on your schedule for at least a weekend break. I always preferred Thursday Night Football earlier in the season, as your body is fresher and turning around from a Sunday game is more fluid for the joints. Then, you’d get a mini bye weekend.
However, my brother enjoys Thursday Night Football later, because that week of practice is super easy. You’re not in pads, and you’re probably only on the field for Tuesday practice. So, you do get a rest from the pounding of practice, but again, you’re still playing after a short rest. Whether you like TNF earlier or later, all players love the mini bye weekend.
After those first two, the next three things vary in importance for the players when the schedule comes out.
3) Primetime games
Primetime games are awesome in theory: under the lights, better opponents, and the ability for your family and friends who might not have the NFL Sunday Ticket package to watch you play.
However, too many primetime games can be tedious, especially if they are on the road. We travel back to our hometown right after the game. Playing a late Sunday game puts us back home in the wee hours of Monday morning. You’re just a zombie on Monday and Tuesday trying to recover. Monday Night Football is even worse. It ruins your week.
4) Cold weather games
As someone who grew up in Los Angeles, I never saw snow as a kid. It was always my dream to play football in the snow. When the schedule was released, I’d look for opportunities to play in the snow.
But, and this is big, no one likes playing in the cold. We look for cold weather games because we need to mentally prepare, starting in May, for playing in the cold. During actual game action, playing in the cold isn’t too bad. It’s everything else that’s tough. Warming up is more difficult, staying warm is brutal, it hurts more when you get hit and so on. No one likes it.
5) Rivalry games
Whether these are division games, or games where you are personally seeking revenge, you make a mental note of when these are. Division games are important and of course, if a game is personal for you, it feels more meaningful.
For example, when I played my brother, I had that game circled the day the schedule dropped. So did my entire family. If you’re a player who got released under bad circumstances and you get your old team on the schedule, this is a time to show them up.
Well, I hope everyone enjoys the schedule release. We are getting closer to football and I can’t wait for it to begin. | <urn:uuid:afb6c77d-abbc-4a30-9f11-1d46e50f159a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.schwartznfl.com/5-things-that-players-look-for-immediately-when-the-nfl-schedule-is-released/ | 2020-07-11T23:31:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657129257.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711224142-20200712014142-00440.warc.gz | en | 0.963321 | 1,061 |

I need an intervention. It is official. I have a major addiction to Instagram.
The truth is, I had an Instagram account a couple of years ago but had my privacy settings set so only I could edit and view my pictures. As many of you have heard in the past, I am the first to admit that I am not tech savvy. At first, I thought Instagram was just for my personal use, and I didn’t understand that it is a great place to meet like minded people with similar interests and lifestyles and to see very artistic pictures! There are some great photographers in IG land!
So, after we launched the blog a few months ago, I set up an Instagram account and I have been hooked every since, this time, sharing the snap shots of my life with others and being part of the pretty visual community there.
My favorite thing about Instagram is that, if you don’t have a blog, than Instagram is a great way for us to share our lives with each other.
I love getting little emails that you send (THANK YOU!) introducing yourself to me! But, it makes me sad when you say “You probably will never meet me, I don’t have a blog…”
Well, sadness, you can leave now, cause Instagram is here to the rescue!
I thought I would share some of the pictures from my IG account, and invite you to come find me so I can get to know you too. 🙂

Michael Edesess questions the notion of a “rebalancing bonus,” wondering if it’s a ghost in money management’s machine. The concept, he recaps, was formalized in Bill Bernstein’s influential 1996 study—“The Rebalancing Bonus: Theory and Practice”, which found that “the actual return of a rebalanced portfolio usually exceeds the expected return calculated from the weighted sum of the component expected returns.” Edesess points out, apparently with Bernstein’s support, that the 1996 analysis is slightly misleading in the sense that the underlying assumptions aren’t as practical as they could or should be. Although Edesess’s number crunching is yet another reminder that you can’t count on rebalancing to boost return, that’s still not an argument for shunning rebalancing as a risk-management tool.
Nonetheless, Edesess nails what I think is a critical issue on the topic of rebalancing, namely, recognizing that this technique requires us to navigate the rocky path between two of the most powerful forces in asset pricing: mean reversion and momentum. As he explains:
Furthermore, some studies, including particularly one for which I am grateful to Bernstein for supplying, have concluded that securities prices have historically had a tendency to mean-revert over time, with a half-life of about three and a half years (i.e., half of them mean-revert by that time). Other studies have shown that for shorter time intervals, securities prices show signs of mean-reversion’s opposite: momentum. That is, a high return over a time interval has increased the likelihood that the return will be higher than average over the next interval.
These results are in agreement with the theories of Hyman Minsky and behaviorists in finance and economics that, basically, irrational exuberance and panics do produce bubbles and crashes (i.e., momentum and mean-reversion, respectively).
However, even if these things are true, does that mean that rebalancing on any particular schedule will succeed? The rebalancing would have to occur at just the right time to catch a mean-reversion in order to succeed – and if rebalancing occurred when momentum was in charge, it might even be counterproductive.
Edesess runs some statistical tests of his own and finds that “introducing mean-reversion into the returns process did not cause rebalancing to beat buy-and-hold any more than it did when returns did not mean-revert.” It’s fair to say that when it comes to looking at rebalancing as a return-boosting technique, the best you can say is that the record is mixed. Much depends on the assets and time period under scrutiny, along with the details of the rebalancing strategy. Suffice to say, there’s a wide array of results. But there’s also a broad consensus: Just do it. Reviewing a number of studies on the subject in my book Dynamic Asset Allocation (see Chapter 6), I noted that there was disagreement about how and when to rebalance. Nonetheless, most analysts agreed that rebalancing as a strategy was likely to be superior to no rebalancing.
Edesess doesn’t necessarily disagree, although he argues (rather persuasively) that assuming that rebalancing will always generate a higher return is more about hope than facts:
Rebalancing is certainly not necessarily harmful, unless it conflicts with another risk management strategy that better suits the investor. It is better to have an investing discipline than not to have one, and rebalancing is one acceptable default discipline – especially when the investor would fail to adhere to any discipline if his portfolio’s volatility exceeded a particular level. It should not, however, be thought of as a strategy that delivers a returns bonus as compared to other strategies.
John Rekenthaler at Morningstar has read Edesess’s critique and decided that two essential lessons emerge in matters of rebalancing:
1) Rebalancing between assets with similar return levels brings a benefit (higher returns) without cost;
2) Rebalancing between assets with dissimilar return levels brings two benefits (maintaining portfolio risk level, participating in asset-class mean reversion) and one cost (ultimately lower returns due to owning more of a lower-performing asset).
Perhaps the most valuable point that Edesess makes is a reminder that any rebalancing analysis needs a robust benchmark. He recommends (and I agree) that “the only meaningful comparison is with a buy-and-hold strategy, i.e., a strategy of not rebalancing. The reason for choosing that benchmark is that it is the simplest and most straightforward alternative to rebalancing.”
By that standard, it’s not terribly difficult to find papers that offer encouragement for thinking that you might earn a rebalancing bonus. Meb Faber’s widely cited 2007 study (and an update in 2013), for instance, found that a simple strategy of tactical asset allocation across multiple asset classes based on moving averages juices returns and lowers risk vs. buying and holding. I’ve generated similar results with the rebalanced version of my Global Market Index compared with its unmanaged cousin (see here and here, for instance).
Can you count on earning a higher return with rebalancing? No. In fact, you can’t even count on reducing risk with rebalancing. That’s the nature of finance: there are no guarantees. But if you study history intelligently, you can learn a thing or two. That starts with a basic fact: if you don’t rebalance, you’re effectively letting Mr. Market run your asset allocation strategy, i.e., you’re favoring a market-value-weighted mix of assets.
You could do a lot worse. History suggests that passively holding a broad set of asset classes, weighted by relative market values, is competitive with most attempts to do better. But for reasons of risk management and/or earning something better, you have two basic choices if Mr. Market’s not your cup of tea (and he usually isn’t, based on choices in the real world).
First, you can alter his asset allocation: leave out this asset class, overweight that one, etc. Two, you can rebalance. Unless you go off the deep end on the first choice, which isn’t usually recommended, most of your success (or failure) will be bound up with rebalancing. The details surely matter. For most folks, the lesson is clear: some form of rebalancing is productive if only to keep the winners from dominating the asset allocation, which inevitably exposes you to painful short run volatility a la mean reversion. In fact, virtually everyone agrees. Rekenthaler sums it up rather well: “There is no rebalancing debate.”
There, is however, plenty of work to do to find an appropriate rebalancing strategy for each investor. It’s hard work because we’re all forced to make choices based on imperfect information due to a familiar gremlin: an uncertain future. In that sense, we can think of asset allocation and rebalancing as the worst set of tools available–except when compared with everything else. In any case, customization is crucial. Andre Perold and Bill Sharpe’s 1995 paper–“Dynamic Strategies for Asset Allocation”–remains the gold standard for summing up the critical challenge:
Ultimately, the issue concerns the preferences of the various parties that will bear the risk and/or enjoy the reward from investment. There is no reason to believe that any particular type of dynamic strategy is best for everyone (and, in fact, only buy-and-hold strategies could be followed by everyone). Financial analysts can help those affected by investment results understand the implications of various strategies, but they cannot and should not choose a strategy without substantial knowledge of the investor’s circumstances and desires. | <urn:uuid:ab787ab7-d54e-4cd3-b886-303eaaead755> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.capitalspectator.com/a-false-but-useful-debate-about-rebalancing/ | 2017-06-29T16:04:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128329372.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629154125-20170629174125-00605.warc.gz | en | 0.932456 | 1,691 |
If your dishwasher won’t drain all the way, you may have a problem. Sometimes this problem is easy to fix on your own, but sometimes this means you need a plumber.
If your dishwasher isn’t draining, try the following:
Check the sump pump
If there’s just a teensy bit of water in the bottom of your dishwasher, you don’t need to worry. You need a little bit of water to remain in the bottom to make sure the pump seal remains moist.
Check the dishwasher door
If it’s not closed all the way and latched, the dishwasher won’t finish draining. Try closing the door, latching it, and running the dishwasher again.
Check the cycle
If the cycle was interrupted, the dishwasher might not have drained. Look for a cancel/drain button or a way to reset the dishwasher.
Check the electrical source
Many dishwashers are plugged into an outlet that is controlled by an electrical switch. Maybe sure you didn’t accidentally turn off the electrical source mid-cycle.
Check your dishwasher drain hose
Your drain hose is probably connected to your garbage disposal, which means you could be experiencing issues with the disposal or the drain hose. Check to see if:
- The drain hose is kinked, preventing drainage
- The drain hose is clogged
- The knockout plug is still in place and needs to be removed
- The drain hose is hanging down or is too long (it needs to be tacked up so it reaches the underside of the counter in order to drain properly)
You may need a new drain hose.
Check the garbage disposal and drain
If your garbage disposal is clogged or your drain system is blocked, your dishwasher won’t drain properly until you get the drain cleared or the garbage disposal cleared. Likewise, check your sink drain, since many dishwashers drain through the sink drain. Try running hot water down the sink drain or disposal and running the disposal. If this doesn’t work, call us and we’ll come clear your drain for you.
Check to see if you have a clogged air gap in your sink
If your air gap is blocked, remove the chrome cover, unscrew the cap, and clean any residue or build up with soap and water. You may want to check the manufacturer’s instructions for further cleaning advice. Replace air gap plastic cap and cover when finished.
Perform annual maintenance on your dishwasher
Each year, you’ll want to do the following:
- Clean the filter and trap with a stiff brush and hot soapy water (you can find the filter and trap at the bottom of your dishwasher).
- Clean the spray arm holes with a stiff wire brush (removing debris that has accumulated and clearing all the spray holes).
- Check the dish racks for cracks or for peeling off of the rubber sealant. You’ll find that after a couple years of use, this rubber coating comes off, exposing metal. The metal rusts, and those bits of metal collect in the drain, clogging it. You’ll need to order (online) little rubber caps and glue so you can cap off those rusty ends. You can also order liquid rubber that you can paint onto these areas so that they won’t rust and add debris to the bottom of your dishwasher.
- Check the drain hose clamps to ensure they are properly attached and angled for optimal draining.
- Look for leaks or cracks in the door seal.
- Make sure the pre-heating mechanism is working properly (use the manufacturer’s directions to do this).

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is among the most invaluable medical innovations of the 20th century. MRIs allow health professionals to more accurately scan different types of tissue in the body, while also detecting any abnormalities or pathologies that may be present. Particularly useful is the ability to take specific looks into major areas of the body susceptible to abnormalities, such as the brain, liver, joints, and spinal cord.
Technology that can process clear images of bones has already been established in the form of X-rays, but visibility into soft tissue was severely limited before the MRI. MRI machines provide a better image quality and more accurate diagnostic read than any other imaging technique. With the ability to produce images on any plane, the level of detail available in an MRI scan is far superior to that of CT scans or X-rays. This increased visibility enables doctors to see more soft tissue detail, making MRIs more versatile in examining and diagnosing a wide array of conditions.
A major benefit of this type of diagnostic imaging is that an MRI does not expose patients to harmful X-rays or radiation—it uses only strong magnetic fields, coils, and computer image processing to produce the scans. Because there is no radiation emitted, an MRI is safe to use with pregnant women and babies. Reported ill health effects resulting from an MRI are incredibly rare.
MRIs can also detect any potential abnormalities as related to the cardiovascular system, providing useful insight into blood circulation and blood vessels. The scans are used in disease detection and treatment monitoring, allowing doctors to more vigilantly track their patients’ health. There are many different types of MRI scans depending on which part of the body is being examined, including:
- Functional MRI (fMRI)
- Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
- Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV)
MRI scanning is one of the most useful and advanced medical technologies to date. It is painless, non-invasive, and allows physicians to get a clear look inside the human body that they can use to better supplement their examinations and provide an accurate diagnosis.

Your first impression may also be the last impression you leave behind. Most people that you meet will form an immediate idea of who you are and what you’re about within seconds of first meeting you – and that’s never more true than in an interview situation. Read on to find out how you can make the best first impression for an interview that will land your dream job.
Lay Good Foundations
Preparation is everything. From rehearsing your CV and answers to likely interview questions, to researching the company – and the interviewer – every minute spent on preparation is another per cent gained.
You’ll feel more confident if you’ve taken the time to prepare for your interview and nothing sells like confidence. Rightly or wrongly, many employers value this over qualifications or experience.
Get an early night ahead of a big interview to make sure you feel rested and ready to go. Whatever you do, don’t go on a bender the night before an important interview. There will be plenty of time to celebrate after you’ve got the job!
Present Yourself As A Professional
Think about how the people that are already doing the job you want present themselves. It might not be how you’d choose to go out into the world, but this is a game we’re playing; if a suit and tie are the norm, then make sure you do the same.
Pay attention not only to your clothes, but also to make-up, jewelry and shoes. Every part of your wardrobe must reinforce the image that you are professional, trustworthy and a sure thing.
Don’t Arrive On Time
What? But that’s interview 101! It is, but let’s go one better – be early! Not by such a margin that it makes the recruiter uncomfortable, but turning up a good five minutes early shows that you’re keen – and dependable.
If you have time, give your interview journey a test run ahead of time to iron out any kinks. You’ll look good on the day, plus you’ll feel more relaxed and confident.
Play Nice On The Way In
Your interview doesn’t start when the interviewer invites you to take a seat; it starts the moment you’re on company property. From the security guy to the receptionist, you have no idea how much influence they have over the interviewer, so just be nice to them on the way in, OK?
And we don’t mean in the words you choose to say; this is about your body language. Don’t tie yourself up in knots; smile, don’t cross your arms and make eye contact.
Be positive! No interviewer wants to hear about the hellacious traffic on your way in, nor do they want to hear you badmouth your present employer. That only establishes you as making a career move from a position of weakness. You’re far more likely to be successful if they believe you have chosen to be here in order to progress your career.
When the interview’s coming to an end, most recruiters will ask if you have any questions. Far from seeming rude, this is your chance to demonstrate that you’ve thought about the role, the company and what you could contribute. Recruiters LOVE it when candidates ask questions that show they’ve really thought about how they might fit into the company and how they could address any shortcomings, so make sure you have at least a couple of questions to fire in.
Whether you get the job or not, make sure to ask for constructive criticism on your interview. If you were successful, this will only help to cement the reasons you were hired – and if not, this feedback could be instrumental in making sure your next interview is a win.
We’re In Your Corner
Interviews are always stressful, but they don’t have to be lonely. Working with an expert recruitment agency can not only improve your chances of getting the job, but it can also make the whole experience less stressful. Kingston Barnes will help you to ensure that you’re fully prepared for your interview. We’ll go above and beyond to help you make the best impression for your next interview – and make the most out of your career potential today.

BioNTech is Applying mRNA Vaccine Technology to Treat Multiple Sclerosis
BioNTech, a German biotechnology company that is working with Pfizer to develop a COVID-19 vaccine, reports that they are using the same technology to develop a therapeutic approach to multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers treated mice with MS-like disease, termed experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis or ‘EAE mice’, with a specialized messenger RNA (called m1Ψ mRNA) coding for MS disease-related autoantigens as an approach to prevent the immune system from attacking myelin and found they could suppress or reduce the severity of MS-like disease. The EAE treated mice showed that further disease progression could be prevented, with a reduction in demyelination in the spinal cord and restoration of motor functions without complete suppression of the immune system. This research is published in the journal, Science in January 2021. While promising, this early-stage research in mice will require considerable testing before it can be translated to humans.

State-of-the-art unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) should enter service with the Russian air force by 2011, according to Lieutenant General Alexander Zelin, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force. Lieut. Gen. Zelin recently spoke with reporters about the new weapons the Russian military will receive in the near future.
The original development of UAVs started in the Soviet Union years ago. However, the projects could not be completed in the 1990s due to economic situation in Russia at the time. The line units of the Russian armed force have recently started to be equipped with the UAVs whose research and development stage began some 10-12 years ago.
Russian design bureaus are currently working on the development of UAVs to be used for a variety of purposes e.g. reconnaissance systems for target detection and recognition to relay targeting coordinates to manned reconnaissance and strike aircraft. Various types of UAVs including unmanned helicopters are being developed. The systems capable of flying independently up to 10-12 hours will be either air-launched or deployed into aircraft-type flight.
The cutting-edge Russian technologies and know-how are used for the development of the new types of UAVs.
Lieut. Gen. Zelin said that the Russian designers were laying special emphasis on the integration of digital technologies into the new systems. For example, the designers aim to ensure automated processing of mission objectives and independent flight capability using data provided by satellite navigation systems, and automated data gathering and processing.
In addition, Russia may soon develop a fifth-generation air defense missile system, which should greatly surpass the Russian S-400 missile system, which is currently being deployed. Besides, the new system will be capable of intercepting space-launched targets.
“While working on the S-400 missile system we appreciated the importance of developing a next-generation air defense system that should demonstrate greater mobility and maneuverability with improved characteristics when it comes to intercepting enemy aircraft and missiles,” said Lieut. Gen. Zelin. He specified that the new system’s improved characteristics would be achieved mostly thorough the upgrading of its main components.
“The fifth-generation missile system will enable the national air defense forces to effectively detect and intercept targets at an extended range. As a result, we will be able to deal with a broader range of objectives. For instance, we will be able to intercept space-launched targets,” Lieut. Gen. Zelin added.
Speaking about other new equipment that may be accepted into service by the Russian air force in the near future, Lieut. Gen. Zelin also informed that Russia and India were involved in active cooperation for building a transport aircraft of medium load-carrying capacity. Besides, designers are also working on Il-112, a light-load transport aircraft. Designers are also involved in preparation work for the development of a frontline aircraft complex and a long-term aircraft complex, Lieut. Gen. Zelin added.

The agriculture community has used anhydrous ammonia as a low cost, highly effective nitrogen-based fertilizer for years. It’s prevalence in the farming community makes it easy to sometimes forget that this a dangerous chemical and should be handled with caution and care.
The word, “anhydrous”, means without water. When anhydrous ammonia comes in contact with moisture, the water and ammonia rapidly combine. When injected into the soil the liquid ammonia expands into gas and is readily absorbed into the soil moisture.
Agricultural anhydrous ammonia is compressed into a liquid state that must be stored in specially designed tanks strong enough to withstand internal pressures of at least 250 pounds per square inch. As the outside temperature increases, the temperature of the liquid in the tank increases causing it to expand. When the liquid expands, the vapor pressure in the tank increases. People working with this substance need to be mindful of these changes. The table below notes the difference in pressure with changes in temperature.
Temperature of Ammonia Vapor Pressure
Another concern is that anhydrous ammonia can be used in the manufacture of dangerous illegal drugs such as methamphetamine. Thieves can cause dangerous damage to holding tanks that the farmer may be unaware of. For this reason, there are some precautions that should be taken when it comes to the installing and management of the holding tanks.
A few tips on holding tank safety:
- Keep tanks in well lighted area and if possible within sight of a residence.
- Beware if you find abandoned containers around your storage tanks, particularly small portable propane tanks used for gas grills.
- Other signs might be pieces of rubber hoses, duct tape coolers, inner tubes or foot prints around tank.
- If you suspect a theft has occurred contact law enforcement authorities immediately, leave the area and keep others away until tank can be inspected by qualified personnel.
- Use locking devices for valves if possible.
- Place brightly colored plastic wire ties on valves for quick visual check. If tie is cut or broken the valve has most likely been tampered with
While anhydrous ammonia can be very useful on the farm, mishandling or poor preparation can be disastrous. Anhydrous ammonia that comes in contact with your eyes, skin or mucous membranes will cause rapid and severe burns as it combines with the moisture of your body. If you are accidently exposed to even a small amount of anhydrous ammonia, you should immediately flush the area with fresh clean water for at least 15 minutes, and seek immediate medical attention.
A few safety tips when handling anhydrous ammonia
- Always wear chemical proof goggles, rubber gloves and heavy duty thick clothing.
- A full face respirator is best, it will provide eye and lung protection
- Tanks should only be filled to 85% to allow for liquid expansion during warm weather
- Keep five gallons of water near tank being filled and another five gallons of water on tractor.
- Individuals should also carry and eight ounce eye wash plastic bottle in case of accidental exposure.
- Inspect all valves and hoses for damage replace or repair if necessary.
- Review safety procedures with all farm workers. | <urn:uuid:499f5505-a9dc-4679-acfd-1f7ffe7a9296> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.arkansas-crops.com/2013/03/26/safe-handling-of-anhydrous-ammonia/?intlink=rcmid | 2016-06-29T00:13:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783397428.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154957-00023-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.916534 | 644 |
Christianne’s Lyceum of Literature and Art
The Lyceum is a place full of stories – we have the largest private children’s library in the city. Our camps start with great works of literature, which we take great delight in sharing. We use these to inspire the creation of incredible works of art and writing, or the weaving of shared imaginative spaces where really anything can happen.
The centre is run by Dr. Christianne Hayward, who is a legend in Vancouver’s education and children’s literature communities. She has created this magical space where there’s a focus on making for the joy it brings, and being part of a creative community.
What we hope children will learn is that making things – whether it’s a painting, a story, an ordinary box into something truly extraordinary – is a sustaining and lifelong activity. We also hope that when they leave our camps they have a greater sense of how curiosity transforms into possibility.
The Lyceum also offers delightful art and literature-based summer camps (that may even involve fairies!) all summer long for ages 3-18. | <urn:uuid:d9e26311-5f9b-47e9-abde-538c67a9f06e> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://www.vancouvermom.ca/biz/christiannes-lyceum-literature-art/ | 2017-07-25T12:32:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549425193.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20170725122451-20170725142451-00711.warc.gz | en | 0.950036 | 233 |
