One of the places we consistently buy through Local Dines is back in stock today. If you like Macayo's, hurry . . . they only stock 100 each month!
You can save 50% (a few are discounted even more) through Local Dines. There is also a $1 processing fee. (When I added another one, the processing fee went up to $1.20 for me.) I've used them before and redemption is super simple. There are no minimum ordering requirements on them, but you do have to pay tax and tip, in addition.
There are many restaurants to choose from, so even if it's gone, check out the others. I'm not even sure which to highlight since it depends on what you like and what is near you. Many are small, local restaurants. They restock them each month, so check back if the one you want is out of stock.
There area quite a few great deals!
If you want to try to win a $30 certificate to Macayo's, see this post. | <urn:uuid:ca3ff39e-a6d8-41e9-b181-486a2bef613e> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.bargainbeliever.com/blog/2012/12/50-off-phoenix-area-restaurants-macayos-is-15-for-30/ | 2017-02-23T12:25:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171166.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00086-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978053 | 217 |
Victim Services Available
Victim Services offers comprehensive services to victims and witnesses of all types of crimes. Assistance is provided from the moment the crime occurs for as long as assistance is needed; there is no cutoff for assistance by the program. The Program was created by the passage of Section 13835 et seq. of the California State Penal Code, which mandates local comprehensive centers for victim and witness assistance throughout California. In the County of San Diego, this assistance is administered through the District Attorney's Office.
Mandatory Victim Services:
- Crisis intervention
- Emergency assistance
- Resource and referral assistance
- Direct follow-up counseling
- Property return assistance
- Orientation to the Criminal Justice System
- Court escort & court support
- Case status & case disposition information
- Notification of family and friends
- Employer notification
- Victim of crime claims assistance
Optional Victim Services:
- Creditor Intervention
- Child care
- Restitution information
- Witness notification
- Funeral and burial arrangements
- Crime prevention information
- Temporary restraining order information
- Transportation assistance
- Court waiting area
- Employer intervention
In California, victims of crime have a constitutional right to restitution. Restitution involves restoring economic losses incurred by crime victims or returning what was taken away from them as a result of a crime. It is the policy of the District Attorney that prosecutors and supporting staff members will assist victims to obtain restitution from convicted defendants in every appropriate case. Prosecutors accomplish this by seeking a restitution order from the judge handling the criminal case. See brochure on Enforcing Criminal or Juvenile Court Restitution Orders as Civil Judgments.
Victims of violent crimes can also receive some reimbursement for eligible losses from the state. The California Victim Compensation Board (State Board) administers the program that is primarily funded by restitution fines that courts order convicted offenders to pay in every case. The application for the Crime Victim Compensation can be found here. Visit The California Victim Compensation Program (CalVCP) website.
What losses are eligible for State Board claims payments?
- Medical and medical-related expenses for a victim, including dental expenses
- Funeral and burial expenses for deaths by criminal acts up to $5000
- Relocation expenses up to $2,000 per household
- Outpatient mental health treatment or counseling and in-patient psychotherapy costs
- For actual victims, wage losses for up to five years following the date of a crime
- Up to 30-days of wage losses for a parent or legal guardian of a minor victim who has been hospitalized or has died as a result of the crime
- Support losses for legal dependants of a deceased or injured crime victim
- Home security systems or improvements up to $1,000 if the crime occurred in victim's home
- Crime scene cleanup for up to $1,000 if a victim died as a result of a crime inside a residence
Expenses not eligible for State Board claims payments:
- Lost, damaged, or stolen personal property, except medically necessary replacement of items such as eyeglass and medical equipment
- Legal fees
- Claims for pain and suffering
- Expenses submitted more than three years after such expenses were incurred
- Expenses for applicants or victims who have themselves been convicted of a felony and are either placed in jail or on probation or parole
The victim claims will only pay crime-related bills not covered by insurance or other sources. Reimbursements cannot exceed a total of $70,000 for a particular crime. Each of the above losses may have their own limits. You do not need a lawyer or other representatives to receive payments through the State Board Victim Compensation Board.
If you have been a victim of a crime and need assistance, you can call 619-531-4041. A Victim Advocate will speak with you and determine how we can assist you. Program services are provided free of charge, and there is no legal citizenship requirement to receive assistance. | <urn:uuid:82bb0bac-e427-4e54-b7fc-5911dbeb80a0> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.sdcda.org/helping/victims/victim-services.html | 2015-07-29T21:56:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042986646.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002306-00156-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.932596 | 807 |

Um, maybe I'm missing something but how do I invoke the client terminal window? I have the server started, I can see it intercepts my keys when I run it with --verbose but by default, the launchpad.ini file has a system command 'terminal' under the T key, but the actual 'terminal' binary doesn't exist. Was this made for pre-3.1 firmware versions which included a 'terminal' binary or what?

Geelong Advertiser, Saturday 3 February 2007, p. 92.
Melbourne gets its first taste of A-League football finals at Telstra Dome when Melbourne Victory takes on Adelaide United in the second leg of the major semi-final tomorrow night.
Over 40,000 tickets have already been sold and the Australian record for a match between club teams, set earlier this year when 50,333 saw the Victory play Sydney FC, is likely to be exceeded.
The winner, and there must be one, goes straight into the grand final, while the loser has a chance to redeem itself in the preliminary final against Sydney FC or Newcastle Jets next week.
Adelaide last season and Victory this year have been on parallel courses leading into this match.
Both won the home and away league season comfortably with matches to spare and then lost momentum going into the finals. Then they played a scoreless draw in the first leg last week. Last year Adelaide failed to win a game thereafter crashing out in the preliminary final to Central Coast Mariners.
Victory coach Ernie Merrick is determined that history will not repeat itself and has responded to claims that his team will be under pressure by pointing to Adelaide’s dismal record last year.
The two coaches could not be more dissimilar.
Ernie Merrick is reserved, undemonstrative and unflappable, but a brilliant teacher and capable of finding positives in any situation.
His parents were involved in the circus, but while Merrick has learned to juggle players, he has never been a showman.
Indeed if there has been any criticism of him this season it is that he has been reluctant to ‘feed the chooks’ by giving the media the sound bites and one liners they crave for headlines.
Merrick prefers to proceed quietly and deliberately relying on meticulous preparation and sports science to bring his team to its peak for the finals.
John Kosmina by contrast is extrovert, lively, opinionated and prepared to be abrasive when necessary.
Mind games come naturally to him.
He has a rapier wit and, as he showed when he clashed with Victory skipper Kevin Muscat earlier in the season, he does not know how to take a backward step.
His club sent him to an anger management course after that incident.
Geelong’s former Socceroo Kris Trajanovski grew up watching Kosmina on television when he played for Australia and thought he was a really good player who scored lots of goals.
Later Kris was coached by Kosmina at Brisbane Strikers in the National Soccer League. ‘He wasn’t too bad as a coach. A bit crazy back then,’ Kris remembers.
Nothing much has changed.
Both teams should be at full strength though each has young players involved in the Olyroos squad which has been training for qualifying matches against Chinese Taipei this week.
Geelong’s Adrian Leijer picked up an injury and was exhausted at the end of a full-scale practice match to the annoyance of his coach, but he should be ready to resume his place in central defence for the Victory.
Victory needs to win to proceed, while any draw other than nil-all will see Adelaide go through on the away goals rule.
If the match is scoreless, there will be extra-time and if necessary penalty kicks to decide the winner. | <urn:uuid:8aaf4a88-1a17-447e-9f3e-fd29159d2892> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://sesasport.com/showdown-at-the-docklands/ | 2021-07-24T10:27:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046150264.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20210724094631-20210724124631-00522.warc.gz | en | 0.971932 | 702 |

by Paolo Valpolini
Formerly a Detective Chief Superintendent in the London Metropolitan Police, in which he served for over 24 years, Richard Freeman is now the Senior Police and Security Adviser at the UK’s Department for International Trade, Defence and Security Organisation.
“Border surveillance and events management are the main topics we deal with, the World Cup that will take place in Qatar in four years time being an example,” he tells EDR Magazine in the DIT DSO booth at Milipol. He explains that DSO works with numerous countries to help them in developing their systems, in training and in ensuring the follow-up on products during their lifetime. Most companies present in the UK pavilion work closely with UK agencies, which gives them considerable credibility abroad.
Among the various fields in which Mr Freeman sees is the exploitation of Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) as one of the most promising sectors for quantum jumps in exploiting data. “In the UK we have a considerable experience; we started working with CCTV in the early 1970s, the first CCTV City centre having been established in London in 1972, and nowadays we have some seven million CCTVs around the nation. It is essential to establish a CCTV strategy, to develop systems to review images, which can be collected in up to 40 different formats, and to develop software to analyse images, something that allows significant reduction from days of footing to hours to allow officers to review only the images relative to their case,” he explains, adding that around 96% of crime investigations include some CCTV evidence. It does not come to a surprise that some companies present at Milipol in the DSO pavilion are specialised in this field.
“Another significant area of interest is border security, merging various technologies from satellite observation to unmanned ground sensors, as well as long-range radars and cameras.” Systems based on fibre optic cables linked to dug in unattended sensors allow one to detect, identify and classify movements and potential threats which represent some of the solutions. “We are also considering portable solutions, with a container hosting a ground radar, SATCOM and CCTVs, with solar panels providing power which could be a solution for the problems on small islands, or on very large areas, as they will be remotely monitored,” Freeman says.
Airport security is another major concern, “the aim being to avoid creating stovepipes generating great numbers of people concentrated in cramped areas, a perfect target for a potential terrorist.”
The four “P’s” Protect, Prevent, Pursue and Prepare are the mantras of UK counterterrorism strategy. Protecting is done in many ways, from controlling accesses to physical protection of buildings, Prevention means mostly dealing with potential radicalisation, Pursuing deals with post-event investigation, tracking suspects i.e. with CCTV, and finally Prepare which means amongst other things acceptance that we may have terrorist attacks, so developing procedures for confronting different types of emergencies. National security agencies also work closely with academia and industry to cope with all those aspects in order to remain at the cutting edge of technology, artificial intelligence and other such technologies being at the forefront of current developments.
The Gunpowder Plot of November 6th, 1605, in which a group intended to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of England’s Parliament, is considered the first terrorist event of the world, at least the first known, thus the UK has the primacy in this field. “We are quite expert in combatting terrorism and in mitigating its effects, and we are very keen to share our knowledge with our friends and allies,” Mr Freeman concludes, explaining that this can be done in various forms such as government-to-government agreements, and can include cooperation on procedures, legislation and equipment. | <urn:uuid:0697af8c-f13b-4c81-a7a0-354fad5c71a4> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.edrmagazine.eu/homeland-security-the-uk-approach | 2023-01-31T22:59:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499891.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20230131222253-20230201012253-00088.warc.gz | en | 0.959826 | 784 |
Here is the second round of Q&A with Cat Blogger Jenny Dean of Floppycats with Subscriber Questions
These Q&A videos are more about my life with cats and as a cat blogger – not about cat health questions. When I ask if people have questions, I sometimes get cat health-type of questions, so I wanted to make that clear. I am game to know what cat health questions you have for whenever I interview a vet, but I can’t answer them myself.

Tech experts want a “proper national strategy” to help schools buy the right IT equipment, as research shows a drop in schools’ spending on technology for the first time in a decade.
Speaking at a Westminster Education Forum this morning, a number of specialists, including an academic and the top boss at the British Educational Suppliers Association, warned many schools are “confused” by the range of software, equipment and providers on offer, and are unable to make good procurement decisions.
Dr Sarah Younie, the professor of education innovation at De Montfort University, said local authorities used to negotiate with “EdTech” suppliers, but this task is now often left to individual schools since the onset of academies.
For quite a while, education technology bucked the trend. But in the past two years, we’ve gone into negative figures for the first time
As a result, EdTech companies now have 2,000 points of entry to the market, a tenfold increase on eight years ago, when the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (BECTA) and local authorities dealt with procurement.
BECTA was a public body which promoted IT in education and was funded by the Department for Education, before it was abolished in the 2010 post-election spending review.
Schools now lack knowledge about which technologies are the best, according to Younie. Alongside the constant financial pressure, she said that an unclear market means the country is “at risk of a major failure to spend sufficiently on EdTech in schools”.
A survey of 1,000 schools by the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) showed less money has been spent on technology over the past two years, the first time there has been a drop since 2010.
Caroline Wright, the director general of BESA, told delegates that primary schools reported a five-per-cent drop in spending last year, and a four-per-cent drop this year.
Meanwhile, secondary schools reported a seven-per-cent drop overall last year, and a six-per-cent drop in spend on education technology this year.
“For quite a while, education technology bucked the trend,” she told Schools Week. “But in the past two years, we’ve gone into negative figures for the first time.”
Schools may also be spending inefficiently by using several services with similar functions, said Naimish Gohil, the CEO and founder of Show My Homework, an app for homework management in schools.
The demise of a “central procurement system” through local authorities has caused he called a “spaghetti bolognese” effect, in which schools have multiple apps or networks all doing similar things.
“Schools are ending up with five or six technologies all having the same effect,” he said.
New start-ups can get seed funding quite easily, meaning that if, say, a school wishes to use a maths-learning app, they have 20,000 to choose from.
“We really need to give schools a lot more schools about who to choose,” he added. “They’re confused.”
Senior leaders, teachers and network and IT managers all needed to talk to each other to make sure they didn’t duplicate each others’ decisions and choose the best technology at a good price, he continued. | <urn:uuid:c267d8ba-1d56-4530-a0c3-75856d10e885> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://schoolsweek.co.uk/experts-demand-national-strategy-for-tech-procurement-as-school-spending-drops/ | 2018-07-19T15:23:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591140.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20180719144851-20180719164851-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.964442 | 714 |

Ridiculous Things that have Somehow Remained Funny #17
Is it possible for a song about armpit farts to be truly funny? Yes!
Sometimes things that are funny to a teenage boy cease to be funny when he grows into manhood. And then there are other things which never really cease to be funny. The Great Cornholio, for instance. At least in small doses.
Consider also Bodine Brown…‘cuz she’s fun to be around.

And, everyone always flips

ATTOCK - Jamaat-e-Islami former ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad said on Friday that there was no justice, no education and no health facilities for a layman in the country, as those in power were busy looting public wealth and transferring it to their Swiss, Britain and US bank accounts.
He said this while addressing a gathering here at Fwara Chowk, Attock. JI candidate for NA-57 Israr Ahmad, JI candidate for PP-15 Muhammad Iqbal Malik and JI office-bearers and party activists were also present on the occasion.
Qazi Hussain Ahmad observed that a common man was leading a miserable life, as he had no security and no dignity. He claimed that this situation could only be changed if the Islamic system was implemented. He said the country came into being in the name of Islam, but every thing was being done against Islam. He said this system could only be changed if there was honest leadership, rather than by terrorism and killing of innocent people in mosques, imambargahs and public places. He said people were confused as from where they could get justice and which door they could knock for it. He said it was regrettable that neither DCOs, nor MPAs and MNAs were interested in ensuring justice to the people. He said there was disappointment everywhere. He alleged that the present leadership was responsible for all this. He observed that the country was rich with resources, manpower and talent but there was no sincere leadership could utilise all these boons for the prosperity of the country. Qazi said the central government was providing supplies to Nato forces in Afghanistan, which was beyond understanding, as Nato forces were busy killing innocent people. He urged the people to elect honest leadership in the next elections, if they wanted a prosperous Pakistan. Earlier, Israr Ahmad and Malik Muhammad Iqbal also addressed the gathering. | <urn:uuid:db5e2a28-8a09-4ce9-9c6a-3019d2b000d7> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://nation.com.pk/national/17-Mar-2012/enforcing-islamic-system-panacea-to-all-problems-qazi | 2014-09-21T10:10:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657135396.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011215-00195-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.991231 | 382 |

Last week, we hit the road and traveled around the state talking with student loan borrowers about their experiences dealing with debt. We met with students, professionals, and local leaders and heard powerful stories about the struggles folks have due to student debt.
We made eight stops in four days, traveling to Wayzata, Brooklyn Park, St. Paul, St. Peter, Mankato, Coon Rapids, and Duluth. Check out some of the news coverage we got along the way!
12 News covered our roundtable discussion at North Hennepin Community College, where we heard from a diverse group of students about their worries for the future.
KEYC covered our roundtable discussion at Minnesota State University-Mankato, where students – some of whom would be graduating soon – and nurses talked about their debt loads and how that impacts their choices. The Mankato Free Press also attended, writing:
Most of the Minnesota State University seniors who visited with two state lawmakers Wednesday said they planned to move back home when they graduate.
The decision to return to their childhood homes is financially motivated, they said. Avoiding rent for awhile will help them start to pay off their student loans.
The St. Peter Herald wrote about two of our events: the roundtable at MSU-Mankato and another roundtable with Gustavus students.
Minnesota graduates carry an average student loan debt load of over $31,000 – the fifth highest in the nation, according to the North Star Policy Institute, which sponsored both events. And almost 1 million Minnesotans combined have over $20 billion in student loan debt, part of the $1.3 trillion total in the United States.
That burden translates to monthly payments as high as $500 to $750 a month, students reported, nearly as large as a potential mortgage payment. And with interest rates as high as 8 percent, students at both discussions voiced similar frustrations. While the federal loan programs often are easy to access, students admitted to shock and surprise to the student loan totals as graduation and entering the workforce loomed.
Students offered individual debt loads exceeding $70,000 and $80,000. For students continuing on to law school or medical school, those numbers soared even higher.
We ended our week in Duluth, where we were very excited to join Mayor Emily Larson in announcing that the city of Duluth and St. Louis County will now inform all employees about Public Service Loan Forgiveness. The Duluth News Tribune quoted Mayor Larson:
“I’m really proud as mayor that we are embracing this program, too. Already as a city we are talking about this with our employees, and our commitment is to let future employees know that this is a benefit that’s available to them.”
At the press conference, Duluth Parks and Recreation employee Josh told his story of struggling with student loan debt.
Josh Abraham, a 27-year-old recreation specialist for the city of Duluth, said he emerged from seven years of study at the University of Minnesota Duluth and the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, with bachelor’s degrees in outdoor recreation and business management plus a master’s degree in recreation management — and $48,000 in student debt.
He has since paid that down to $44,000 with the help of double payments but said the debt still looms as a large factor in his daily decisions.
“It really affects my ability to save money and to look forward to future events such as getting married or one day buying a house. It’s one of those things that I’m constantly looking at every day,” he said.
Northland’s News Center wrote:
The “North Star Policy Institute” discussed the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
Employers are not required to inform their employees about this program, so the think tank is trying to help people learn how it works so they can get out from under staggering student debt and begin contributing more to their communities.

This Touchstone pamphlet asks whether a more equal distribution of income would jeopardise the UK's economic prospects. Indeed, is more equality just what we need to improve our prosperity and well-being?
The assertion that less inequality is 'part of the good society' resonates strongly with most people on the left and centre-left. This pamphlet shows that this is a sensible belief:
The UK is a very unequal country, and this inequality is the result of a major shift in income distribution in the 1980s and 90s.
There is a conventional economic view that asserts that inequality is a price a country has to pay to achieve economic success. But a comparison of the performance of equal and unequal countries does not back this up.
Indeed, there is evidence that some redistribution enhances economic performance. International comparisons provide very strong evidence that inequality is linked to poor health and social outcomes.
The theories to explain this relationship are still being developed. This pamphlet outlines two of these - that inequality has harmful psychological effects and that poor outcomes follow on from deprivation, which is more common in unequal societies.

While walking from the parking lot to my building, I couldn’t help but think about the professional segment that aired on the Today Show this morning. One of the topics was about people playing hooky from work. According to a Reuters report, 26 percent of people have used bereavement time for vacation and 47 percent have used a sick day for vacation.
It really got me thinking. I have never played hooky. I am always afraid of getting caught and getting into serious trouble with my boss. We are all entitled to days off, but to not take the day in advance or take a personal day and be honest is wrong to me.
When I pulled into the parking lot this morning, I was a few minutes earlier than usual, but there were a lot of empty spots. That really got me thinking, “Did people call out today because it is the first nice day?”
Have you called out of work and played hooky? Did you feel guilty at all? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

When your boss puts you in charge of organizing the company Christmas party, what do you do first?
Do you develop a time line and start assigning tasks, or do you think about who would prefer to do what, and try to schedule around their needs?
When the planning starts to fall behind schedule, what is your first reaction? Do you chase everyone to get back on track, or do you ease off a bit, recognizing that everyone is busy just doing his/her job, let alone the extra tasks you’ve assigned?
Your answers to these types of questions can reveal a great deal about your personal leadership style. Some leaders are very task-oriented; they simply want to get things done. Others are very people-oriented; they want people to be happy. And others are a combination of the two. If you prefer to lead by setting and enforcing tight schedules, you tend to be more production-oriented (or task-oriented). If you make people your priority and try to accommodate their needs, then you’re more people-oriented.
Neither preference is right or wrong, just as no one type of leadership style is best for all situations. However, it's useful to understand what your natural leadership tendencies are, so that you can then begin working on developing skills that you may be missing.
A popular framework for thinking about a leader’s ‘task versus person’ orientation was developed by Robert Blake and Jane Mouton in the early 1960s. Called the Managerial Grid, or Leadership Grid, it plots the degree of task-centeredness versus person-centeredness and identifies five combinations as distinct leadership styles.
The Managerial Grid is based on two behavioral dimensions:
Using the axis to plot leadership ‘concerns for production’ versus ‘concerns for people’, Blake and Mouton defined the following five leadership styles:
This leader is mostly ineffective. He/she has neither a high regard for creating systems for getting the job done, nor for creating a work environment that is satisfying and motivating. The result is disorganization, dissatisfaction and disharmony.
This style of leader is most concerned about the needs and feelings of members of his/her team. These people operate under the assumption that as long as team members are happy and secure then they will work hard. What tends to result is a work environment that is very relaxed and fun but where production suffers due to lack of direction and control.
Also known as Authoritarian or Compliance Leaders, people in this category believe that employees are simply a means to an end. Employee needs are always secondary to the need for efficient and productive workplaces. This type of leader is very autocratic, has strict work rules, policies, and procedures, and views punishment as the most effective means to motivate employees. (See also our article on Theory X/Theory Y .)
This style seems to be a balance of the two competing concerns, and it may at first appear to be an ideal compromise. Therein lies the problem, though: When you compromise, you necessarily give away a bit of each concern, so that neither production nor people needs are fully met. Leaders who use this style settle for average performance and often believe that this is the most anyone can expect.
According to the Blake Mouton model, this is the best managerial style. These leaders stress production needs and the needs of the people equally highly.
The premise here is that employees understand the organizations purpose and are involved in determining production needs. When employees are committed to, and have a stake in the organization’s success, their needs and production needs coincide. This creates a team environment based on trust and respect, which leads to high satisfaction and motivation and, as a result, high production. (See also our article on Theory Y .)
Being aware of the various approaches is the first step in understanding and improving how well you perform as a manager. It is important to understand how you currently operate, so that you can then identify ways of becoming effective in both areas.
It is important to recognize that the Team Leadership style isn’t always the most effective approach in every situation. While the benefits of democratic and participative management are widely accepted, there are times that call for more attention in one area than another.
If your company is in the midst of a merger or some other significant change, it can be acceptable to place a higher emphasis on people than on production. Likewise, when faced with an economic hardship or physical risk, people concerns may be placed on the back burner, for the short-term at least, to achieve high productivity and efficiency.
Theories of leadership have moved on a certain amount since the Blake Mouton Grid was originally proposed. In particular, the context in which leadership occurs is now seen as an important driver of the leadership style used.
And in many situations, the "Team Leader" as an ideal has moved to the ideal of the "Transformational Leader": Someone who, according to leadership researcher Bernard Bass:
So use Blake Mouton as a helpful model, but don't treat it as an "eternal truth".
The Blake Mouton Managerial Grid is a practical and useful framework that helps you think about your leadership style. By plotting ‘concern for production’ against ‘concern for people’, the grid highlights how placing too much emphasis in one area at the expense of the other leads to low overall productivity.
The model proposes that when both people and production concerns are high, employee engagement and productivity increases accordingly. This is often true, and it follows the ideas of Theories X and Y, and other participative management theories.
While the grid does not entirely address the complexity of “Which leadership style is best?”, it certainly provides an excellent starting point for thinking about your own performance and improving your general leadership skills.

If you are a retailer or a restaurateur – that is, you manage a company dealing with customers – you know that your staff is an important factor for success. Your workforce’s quality of work, attitude to customers and level of service is part of what makes your brand. If your staff behaves unprofessionally, it won’t matter how good your product is: your customers will say goodbye, and share their unfavorable impression of your brands with their friends and family – and possibly with thousands of strangers, through online reviews. Employers can do a lot to improve – or, conversely, destroy - their employees’ quality of work and productivity. We have listed some common problems that staff members lament. Do you make any of these productivity-killing mistakes in your workplace?
There is not a clear set of rules
How do you train new staff members? Do you tell them clearly what is expected from them, and how to respond to common customer queries and situations, or do you expect them to learn as they go along –making repeated mistakes, and damaging your brand along the way? If you don’t give your employees a clear message, you will get back mixed results. Here’s an idea: The Apple Store staff are trained to follow a series of “steps of customer service”, which prescribe how to behave throughout the shopping experience – from welcoming the customer in the store, all the way to the end of the customer relationship. Many businesses have now created their own simple set of rules, easy to remember and easily adapted to most customer interactions, to ensure that all customers are treated with the attention and care they deserve.
Employees don’t feel part of a teamWhen people feel connected to each other, they work harder and enjoy it more, science has shown. Not only: people who perform their tasks separately from their colleagues tend to be less satisfied in their job and perform more poorly. Here’s an idea: Create a team spirit among staff members organizing team-bonding days. Have all staff engage in fun activities where all members are required to perform at the same time: think drumming together, singing, doing yoga or team sports. Synchronous activity has been proved to increase cooperation and team spirit.
There is no official communication channel
How many times have you had to frantically call your employees to find a last-minute substitution? How often do you end up with the wrong number of staff on the floor because requests for time off got lost or mixed up? Managing staffing by phone calls, messages and Excel sheets is ineffective both for management – which cannot properly control time registrations and budget – and for the staff, which can never be sure of the finalized time schedule, and whether their requests have been accepted and accounted for. Here’s an idea: The best workforce management systems include tools for clear, straightforward communication between staff and management. LS Staff Management features an Employee Portal, a great tool for staff members who can use it to view upcoming shifts, comment on their hours, receive messages, accept or decline work requests, request to work certain days, ask for shift changes or time off, and see their manager’s responses to these requests. The system immediately alerts managers to any requests that need addressing, which they can accept or reject.
SilenceYou probably play music in your stores and restaurants for your customers – but what about areas that are off-limits to customers? Although some managers believe music in the workplace to be a source of distraction, science has shown that playing music can have big benefits on people’s state of mind – and productivity levels. Not only: people are also more concentrated if they work at the rhythm of music. Here’s an idea: In-store music is not only for the customers: employees and managers benefit from it too. Many scientific studies support that people tend to work faster, and complete their tasks more accurately and creatively, when listening to music. Just make sure that you choose something agreeable for everyone – your 16-year-old busboy probably won’t be a fan of Perry Como.
There is not a positive working cultureWhat’s the atmosphere in your stores like? Are people helpful to each other and smiling? Or are they nagging about management, prone to criticism, quick to take the credit for their colleagues’ work but ready to shift the blame when things go bad? Working in a negative workplace has lots of downsides: people are unhappy, hard-working staff members will end up leaving, and quickly the word will spread to other potential employees, making hiring good staff difficult. According to a recent survey from human resources firm TriNet, 36 percent of small business owners believe that company culture and reputation are the most important factors for employee morale - ranking higher than compensation (9 percent). Here’s an idea: Make sure you create a strong, positive culture: reward employees who contribute to the performance of the entire team, underline the importance of honesty and discipline, support staff members who are going through hard times, and treat all employees with trust, respect and gratitude – no matter their level in the organization, age, gender. Make sure that management gives the good example.
Employees’ strengths are not leveraged
Sometimes employees have to perform tasks they do not enjoy – and that’s just part of the job. On the other hand, it is often possible to find the right person for each task - putting Laura, who is great with kids, in the children’s shoes section, or making sure that Jon, who performs well under pressure, is the one dealing with impatient diners during the lunch rush. The problem is, management is often guiltily unaware of their staff members’ skills and preferences, and therefore unable to assign the right task to the ideal person. Here’s an idea: Your employees are more than just a number. Take the time to get to know your staff: who they are, what they are good at and love to do, and what tasks they find hard or unpleasant to do. Taking a genuine interest in your employees can lead to a better work relationship, and possibly to the discovery of untapped skills and abilities related to the job. Happier workers are more productive workers – it’s been proved. If any of the factors outlined above are the cause behind dissatisfaction and poor employee performance at your company, here’s the good news: you can take action now.

Chris Brown has made it loud and clear that he misses his sweet baby girl Royalty. Sadly, tensions are running high when it comes to his custody battle for his daughter with Nia Guzman. HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that Chris’ own mommy dearest is playing peacekeeper for the two dueling parents.
Chris Brown, 26, is finally getting some precious father-daughter time with his little lady Royalty, 1, and there’s one person to thank — his mother, Joyce! HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned the details behind their sweet reunion and why
“Grandma Joyce has been the bridge that links Chris to Royalty. It shouldn’t be that way but it is,” a insider close to the singer tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “Nia wasn’t thrilled at all about letting royalty visit him while he’s on tour. But she knew Joyce would be there and that was the only reason why she agreed to it! Chris is thanking his lucky stars that she’s his mother. He needs to put her on the payroll because she’s been playing hostage negotiator for him.” That’s what mothers are for, to be there to help guide you — no matter at what age!
The insider tells us that Joyce feels she knows just how to get to Nia — mother to mother. “She’s the only one who knows ‘Nia speak.’ She knows how to talk to that girl, how to calm her down and how to make the situation make sense for everyone involved. She’s constantly in Nia’s ear, telling her to stop holding royalty hostage. She tells her that just as much as Royalty is with her mother, she needs that same time and attention from her father.” Agreed. Nia needs to allow Chris to parent their daughter, because he’s here to stay!
Chris’ Mother Is Handling The Custody Arrangement Of Royalty
“Chris knows his mother has the magic touch. But Joyce is fair too,” our insider went on to say. “She checks Chris’ butt all the time and puts him in his place when he’s being wrong and selfish. She checks Nia too. And lets her know when she’s out of pocket and demanding too much. They don’t really need a judge to weigh in on their custody battle or child support – just leave all that to Joyce.”
The source added, “Her work speaks for itself. Chris is with Royalty as we speak. But all and all, Chris wouldn’t have been able to see his munchkin if it wasn’t for his mother convincing Nia to allow it and telling Nia, that she’d be there to help chaperone.”

Even though interior design and architecture share some common ground, there are some differences an architect should know before getting into designing interiors. The two fields have always been interconnected and intersected. They are essential elements of every project.
Many architects are pursuing interior design as part of their ever-growing portfolios. While the two are somewhat similar, the most significant differences are materials applications, scales of the project, and the scope of work.
If you’re an architect interested in interior design, it’s vital to understand some basic points, including environment needs, interior construction, materials, and professional practice. Here are some basic tips to help you get on the right track.
Understand the difference between decorators and designers
Anyone with a sense of colors, textiles, and materials can decorate a living space, but that doesn’t make them an interior designer. In fact, even though it might look and feel the same, there’s a difference between decorators and designers.
First of all, interior design requires a degree. Education is probably the most significant difference between the two. An interior designer is someone who took 2–5 years of education with some certified institution.
Their academic journey started with the basics of interior design. Then it broadened the scope of learning to fields like patterns, textures, color, joineries, detailing, scales, ergonomics, proportions, structure, materials, and space planning.
An interior designer can also be a decorator at the same time, but the decorator can hardly be a designer. While you may have lots of experience with decorating, interior design requires a more detailed, knowledgeable, and enhanced approach. However, learning a lot about decorating can help you to become a better interior designer.
Learning about load-bearing, electricity, and plumbing codes may not seem necessary, but it is. As an interior designer, you’re required to know local codes and laws.
Aside from ensuring your project complies with the latest regulations, such knowledge improves your marketability and gives you an edge over your competitors.
Each region has its respective guidelines and laws, and not complying could lead to legal actions.
The principles of interior design are crucial to getting ahead in your new occupation – they are essential guidelines for interior design practice.
There are five basic principles of interior design:
Aside from the essentials, there are also other interior design principles that you should explore, such as pattern, texture, color, line, form, light, and space. These principles are the core of your future expertise and will give you a complete picture of what interior design truly is.
There are good reasons to use 3D visualization for interior design. First of all, 3D visuals are incredibly immersive and photorealistic. They provide realistic quality without wasting too much time and effort.
Since the latest 3D rendering tools are so powerful, they make it easier to depict any interior in a realistic setting, present the atmosphere, and get clients on board with your ideas. More importantly, 3D visualization makes editing projects easy.
You can change things and save hours, even days of work. On the other hand, your clients will love that you are so forthcoming and communicative. In addition, it’s much easier to find the right clients and sell your work with proper visualization by your side.
Attention to detail is paramount in interior design. It’s what separates your work from the rest. While architects typically work on exteriors, interior designers are required to work on smaller scales.
Because of that, handling all the details of joineries, furniture, structure, material, etc., becomes increasingly challenging.
Clients hire architects to project entire buildings, while interior designers usually work on smaller scales of objects and are hired to design a room or an office in a building.
Materials are right next to details. In other words, they are critical for any project. Thankfully, you should be well acquainted with the importance of materials as an architect.
However, remember that materials used in interior design differ from the ones used in architecture.
Architecture relies on materials such as steel, glass, stone, concrete, and wood. Interior design materials include wallpapers, upholstery, fabrics, ceramics, veneer, glass, marble, granite, paints, etc.
Textiles and fabrics are quite popular in interior design. They are versatile and can make any space come alive.
Both work pretty well with staircase railings, furniture, carpets, ceiling, and partitions and can add a lot of vibrancy to any interior space by enhancing its ambiance and aesthetics.
When it comes to interior design, the selection of colors, finishes, and wall paintings are crucial to completing a project successfully.
Unlike architects, interior designers are typically required to work with a wide spectrum of colors to complement the materials used.
Color allows interior designers to combine all five principles and create a vibrant living space.
Both visuals and graphics are essential to designing immersive living spaces. Whether you’re working on commercial, hospitality, retail, or residential spaces, graphical incorporation gives you access to a wide spatial spectrum that you can apply to any interior design project.
Visuals and graphics give you multiple aspects of every project and allow you to address the unique needs of clients with different backgrounds.
No matter what you do, you should always aim to stay unique. Add your personal touch to your designs to make them unique. However, you’ll need a personalized method of approaching an interior design project as an architect.
The best direction is to take the best from both worlds and combine that immense knowledge into one unstoppable, omnipotent force capable of delivering an unparalleled design style. | <urn:uuid:273c2995-3cff-4ae5-8a50-0aa4ec1ea404> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.easyrender.com/a/are-you-an-architect-interested-in-interior-design-heres-what-you-should-do | 2023-12-11T06:39:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679103558.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211045204-20231211075204-00796.warc.gz | en | 0.940881 | 1,176 |

Lovely cottage in a fabulous setting. The surrounding countryside was stunning yet you are not too far away from anywhere. Sharon the host was very welcoming and the cake went down a treat!
We only had a week, but could have easily enjoyed a month! The cottage is clean and very welcoming, we didn’t want to leave!
The bottle of wine, welsh cakes and fudge were a lovely touch. As history buffs the place suited perfectly!

COVID-19 has changed nearly everything about our daily lives, from the way we shop and socialize to how we approach healthcare. For providers and their practices, the global health crisis has rapidly accelerated the need for remote patient care tactics. The question is, what can healthcare practices do to engage patients and keep them up to date during such unprecedented times?
Here are four tips for managing the patient journey from a (social) distance:
1. Explain new expectations, policies, and procedures to patients.
Proactive communication is always essential for building strong patient-provider relationships and facilitating positive health outcomes. With that said, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s now more important than ever before. One of the best ways to manage the patient journey remotely is to reach out and explain new expectations, policies, and procedures. How have your operations changed?
By communicating between office visits and keeping them up to date on the latest happenings for your practice, you can engage patients and help keep them informed as things evolve. For example, you can use automated text messages, emails, and phone calls to update your patients on important factors like social distancing protocols, changes to care delivery, and new office procedures, such as mandatory masks and virtual check-in and registration.
2. Focus on patient engagement even if you can’t meet in person.
Patient engagement is likely already a top priority for your practice—and it should remain at the top of the list even if you can’t meet in person. You can, however, meet face to face in a different way via a virtual care visit. Telehealth, which has seen rapidly accelerated adoption in 2020, offers a significant opportunity to continue building and maintaining that critical personal connection remotely.
Telehealth services not only have the ability to increase access to care in rural and often underserved communities, but also to improve adherence to prescribed medications and treatment plans. In fact, many would argue that COVID-19 is actually transforming the future of telehealth. By leveraging a virtual visit tool to offer telehealth appointments, you can help keep your patients healthy and engaged between in-office visits.
3. Send targeted surveys between office visits to collect feedback.
Sending between-visit surveys is a great way to monitor different patient populations and check in to see how they’re doing without the need for an appointment. You can assess their functional status by automating surveys based on specific criteria of your choosing, such as diagnosis, procedure, lab values, pain level, medications, and more.
You can then take action based on survey responses to improve patient reported outcomes (PROs). For example, if a patient expresses a high level of pain or a low functional status, you can intervene with automated outreach like an e-mail l or text (or even a virtual care appointment) to improve outcomes. In higher-risk cases, outreach via a personal phone call may be the best approach.
4. Optimize your current technology stack for remote care.
Another way you can manage the patient journey remotely is to optimize (and simplify) your current healthcare tech stack so it’s equipped for remote care. You can optimize your tech stack by analyzing your existing solutions and determining which are necessary for delivering remote care efficiently and effectively.
For example, you can improve remote patient management initiatives by making the most of your patient portal. Self-service tools like digital appointment scheduling and the ability to check electronic records, review lab results, and make payments online are all highly effective when it comes to empowering patients to play an active role in their own health—even amidst the pandemic.
Using the Right Tools to Engage Your Patients from a Distance
Healthcare providers have a unique opportunity to adapt to the new normal and alter the way they approach care delivery. However, access to the right technology is essential for truly managing the patient journey remotely.
All-in-one solutions or “platform products” have touch points along the entire patient journey—before, during, and after appointments. From patient portals and automated outreach to refill requests and flexible financial options, all-in-one solutions suites offer all the tools you need to keep patients engaged remotely.
There are numerous ways to approach remote patient management, but each of them has one constant in common: technology. Analyze your current tech stack, identify where it’s lacking, and make the appropriate changes to drive strong patient engagement—during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. | <urn:uuid:c1e5218b-1d37-43df-be38-20159cb8ffef> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.intelichart.com/blog/4-tips-for-managing-the-patient-journey-remotely | 2023-10-01T04:34:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510781.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20231001041719-20231001071719-00120.warc.gz | en | 0.928276 | 925 |
The danger of Materialism is that it is so much like part of the parable of the sower Jesus taught us in Matthew 13, Mark 4 and Luke 8! He said the seed was the Word of God and some seeds fell into various grounds or hearts. One seed fell into a type of heart choked or thorny with Materialism and the love of material things
He also that received seed (of the Word of God) among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
And that (seed of the Word of God) which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word (of God), and it becometh unfruitful.
So clearly, we see how dangerous materialism and capitalism are to the receiving of the pure power of the Word of God! Materialism and Capitalism suffocate the Word of God in our hearts, they ‘choke’ us, they preoccupy our minds and take away our desires towards the Word of God, and that’s exactly what is wrong with the people!
These thorns and so on also destroy our faith and expectation that God is there and able to do great and mighty things which we know not! Jeremiah 33:3.
I love this following true anecdote which comes from at least a hundred years ago.
Please forgive the appalling lack of political correctness!
A white British Christian missionary had gone to Africa. He had formed a church and congregation. He taught the Gospel. He preached and encouraged the people to believe that God could do anything. God was the creator and therefore all should put their faith in Him and His Son Jesus Christ.
One day he was visiting a young African mother in her thatched hut. Her small son had a fever and he had been called to come and pray for the sickly child.
The young mother looked up hopefully to the missionary to pray and help her infant. The missionary realised and mentioned that the boy needed ice to bring down his fever but realising also that ice was impossible to get there in the heat of the African summer, he therefore prayed a ‘general’ prayer asking God if it was His Will to make the little one better, that God would do so.
The woman, seeing her pastor had not prayed for ice or specific healing, went ahead with her own prayer: ‘Oh Lord, you have said that my boy may need ice to help his fever. If ice is necessary for his healing, please send ice right now, I do believe, Amen.’ As she finished her prayer, a piece of ice the size of a large pebble rolled into the door of her hut. A hailstorm had immediately begun, and it was raining hailstones of unusual size into the area! The storm was highly localized and of a narrow area. The woman picked up the now many ‘pieces of ice’ and applied them with a thankful heart to her son’s head. The boy fully recovered, and the missionary learned never again to limit God!
Materialism is the direct and deadly enemy of us Christians. We cannot love God and Mammon. We may not be aware of the roots, deep and long, that Mammon has in our lives. For anyone wishing to destroy the roots it is a very painful process. I would say for us as Christians this is one of the most insidious evils we have to face and very few people even know how to fight it effectively nor where to start.
Since I spent twenty-five years of my life living as a significantly poorer younger person with a family on the mission field I know what it is to not know where our next meal was going to come from! I believe unless you have gone through something similar in terms of struggle financially as a Christian your priorities will be skewed, and you will exist in the smug material complacency some Christians seem to have here in the UK.
I’m not preaching original Franciscan poverty or other Mother Theresa styles of living, but I believe it would do all Christians good to see the ‘good hand of the Lord’ provide for them in a miraculous way as they come to the end of their rope, are at their wits’ end and know they need a (financial) miracle. Nehemiah 2:8 Psalm 107:27.
Finally, we should understand that there are without doubt some or many people like the ‘rich man’ Jesus spoke about in Luke 16:19-31. There are some people who are rich and have no heart for the poor. We do not know the whole picture, or even who they are, as there are many who are charitable in the UK, but without doubt, the parable of the rich man applies to some here. We cannot see this clearly or judge, but God has the God’s eye view.

Has anyone had success fishing? Went to Tenkiller earlier this week and stayed for a few days. The first day we had no success at all. Tried to find brushpiles for crappie but didn't find any, we planted a couple of them a few years ago,couldnt find them either. Tried fishing for bass but they must have been deeper than we were fishing. Then we tried trolling and caught nothing again. Fished below the dam on the lower illinois for stripers, we caught enough shad but no stripers. The person next to our campsite caught some catfish on juglines so we set out juglines that night. The next morning they ended up on the other side of the lake with nothing on them, but we ran into a ton of sand bass and caught 18. All were at least 1.5 pounds, good sized ones.
The next morning we looked in the same spot and caught 14 before the wind kicked up and scattered the shad. Those were even bigger, almost all of them weighed at least 2 pounds.
We were fishing with rooster tails on the surface, just following the same school everywhere. We didn't go the last couple mornings because the wind is blowing too hard, which makes it impossible to find them on the surface. Tomorrow there is supposed to be no wind, we are going then and will try to bring some relatives with us, hopefully they will be able to go. I haven't really had much other success this year except on some sand bass in the spring, how is it going for everyone else? | <urn:uuid:6a2a9850-fa8b-48c3-844a-d4667d521066> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.duckhuntingchat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=38058&start=0 | 2014-10-30T15:41:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637898226.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025818-00178-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987142 | 323 |

Whether preservatives and colourings cause or exacerbate hyperactive behaviours is an important question for many paediatricians and parents. A recent randomised placebo controlled trial in 297 children aged 3-9 years provides evidence of increased hyperactive behaviour after they ate a mixture of food colourings and a preservative (sodium benzoate).1 In contrast to many previous studies, the children were from the general population and did not have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The trial found an adverse effect of the mixture on behaviour as measured by a global hyperactivity aggregate score. The daily dose approximated that found in two 56 g bags of sweets.
In view of the potential importance of these findings, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recently provided an opinion that takes other evidence into account. …

1976 SSPC Baseball Cards
The only full baseball card set ever issued during the Topps monopoly, was produced by SSPC in 1975, but not released until 1976. The 1976 SSPC set contains 630 full-color cards and was a refreshing change of pace from the predictable Topps issues. The underrated 1976 SSPC set is similar to the 1953 Bowman cards in that the front of the card is a color photo and no print. The card backs contain the player's stats, bios and something Topps never though of - his uniform number. I highly recommend this attractive, yet affordable set.

suddenly lost concern for himself, and forgot to look at a menacing
fate. He became not a man but a member. He felt that something of
which he was a part—a regiment, an army, a cause, or a country—was
in a crisis. He was welded into a common personality which was dominated
by a single desire. For some moments he could not flee, no more
than a little finger can commit a revolution from a hand.
This passage occurs in Chapter V as
Henry engages in battle for the first time. He feels a brief but
important respite from his nagging obsession with individual recognition.
This powerful desire for personal glory and accompanying conviction
that his life is more valuable than that of most other soldiers
lead to some of Henry’s worst behavior, including his abandonment
of the tattered soldier. Against these moments of hyperinflated
egotism come flashes of realization that he is but one man among
many. However, Henry’s convictions do not really change at these
times: he does not particularly care whether he fights for “a regiment,
an army, a cause, or a country.” Yet he does let slip the selfish
preservation instinct that often blinds him to larger struggle.
This momentary lapse of ego allows Henry to behave with honor. This
later proves the surest and most responsible way of winning the
glorious accolades that he so desperately desires. | <urn:uuid:1190174d-14c1-46b6-8e49-ed0242d6dc3d> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/redbadge/quotes/page/2/ | 2019-10-19T10:43:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986692723.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20191019090937-20191019114437-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.963977 | 308 |
There are times when you might want an odd-value resistor. Rather than run out to the store to buy a 3,140 Ω resistor, you can get there with a good ohmmeter and a willingness to solder things in series and parallel. But when you want a precise resistor value, and you want many of them, Frankensteining many resistors together over and over is a poor solution.
Something like an 8-bit R-2R resistor-ladder DAC, for instance, requires seventeen resistors of two values in better than 0.4% precision. That’s just not something I have on hand, and the series/parallel approach will get tiresome fast.
Ages ago, I had read about trimming resistors by hand, but had assumed that it was the domain of the madman. On the other hand, this is Hackaday; I had some time and a file. Could I trim and match resistors to within half a percent? Read on to find out.
Your run-of-the-mill through-hole resistor is a metal-film resistor, made by depositing a thin layer of metal onto a non-conductive ceramic cylinder. The metal film is cut into a helix, and the length, width, and thickness of the resulting metal coil determine the resistance. Since the deposited metal is so thin, between 50 nm and 250 nm, you might think that trimming this down by hand is going to be a bit finicky.
Jumping straight to the punchline, when I was trying to change the resistance by small amounts, maybe less than 5% or so, it was trivially easy to land spot on the exact desired value. I had bags of 1 kΩ and 2 kΩ 1% resistors, and I figured I would make a whole bunch of mistakes while learning.
The reality is that I went over the target once out of seventeen attempts, and that only by one ohm. The rest of the resistors are trimmed as well as I can measure — down to the single ohm. (My meter and probes have a 0.3 Ω offset, but there’s nothing I can do about that.) I pitched the “bad” one, made one more, and had a perfect set in short order.
Here’s the whole procedure. I put the resistor into some insulated clamps, and clipped my ohmmeter to either end. I used a small round file, and just went at it. The first few strokes get you through the relatively thick coating, but once you see metal, or notice a blip on the ohmmeter, a very light touch with the file is the rule. Maybe blow some of the metal dust off between strokes when you’re getting close, but I didn’t notice that it made much difference. Seven or eight light strokes with the tiny little file brought the resistors to a ten-point landing.
Indeed, because it’s easy to go too far at first, I found that ideal candidate resistors to file were the 1,990 Ω ones. Many of my 1 kΩ resistors came in at 999 Ω, which makes it hard to get through the casing without overshooting the mark. I probably could have just left them. The good news is that most 1% resistors will be off by more than a few ohms in either direction, otherwise they’d be sold as 0.1% resistors. And of course, you need to pick source resistors with a lower resistance than the target — you’re not adding metal with the file.
So you only need to have one value of resistor in your kit, right? Absolutely not. Creating a 1.2 kΩ resistor from a 1 kΩ original is asking for trouble. I got it to work a few times, again down to the single ohm, by restarting the filing process in a different place rather than simply going deeper in one hole, but I don’t recommend it, and I can’t think of when you’d need to. Just add a 200 Ω resistor in series and trim that. Remember that you’re thinning down a metal spiral that’s only 100 nm thick to begin with. Easy does it.
Filing down through-hole resistors to exact values was so much easier than I had anticipated that I decided to take on something harder. I tacked a 1206 2.1 kΩ resistor onto some stripboard. Wouldn’t you know it, it read out exactly 2,100 Ω, so 2,105 Ω became the target. That didn’t go well at all; I ended up with a 2,722 Ω resistor faster than I had expected.
The second 1206 started out at 2,103 Ω, and I just went at it without a goal in mind. By going very carefully, I got it’s resistance down to 2,009 Ω before it jumped to 2,600 Ω and beyond. Lowering the resistance doesn’t make sense at all. Maybe I was dragging some solder into the gap and effectively thickening the metal layer? I went looking for information, but didn’t get any further into the construction than Vishay’s datasheet: “metal glaze on high-quality ceramic” which doesn’t enlighten much.
After two more attempts, I couldn’t get the SMT resistors in trim at all; the layer of deposited metal is just too thin. And anyway, I’m not sure how useful it would be — the thought of soldering and de-soldering seventeen of these isn’t very appealing.
Trimming through-hole resistors is awesome. I made a complete set of matched better-than-0.05% (!) resistors for an 8-bit DAC in half an hour with nothing more than a file and an ohmmeter. And on my first try. You could easily make a 10-bit DAC this way. The result was an order of magnitude better than I had hoped, and it wasn’t hard at all. Amazing. And nothing says cool like a hand-made, artisanal DAC. (For odd values of cool.)
My attempt at trimming surface-mount resistors, on the other hand, was a complete failure. Anyone out there care to guess why? Is it just the tweakiness of trimming a super-thin film? Anyone with a precise laser cutter want to have a go and write us about it? | <urn:uuid:696b4d46-2e83-48c0-a24b-ac14e9ce7caf> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://hackerworld.co/hackaday-trims-its-own-resistors | 2019-08-18T03:12:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027313589.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20190818022816-20190818044816-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.962523 | 1,380 |
The other week, I attended a live workshop downtown in NYC. One of the attendees who sees behind the scenes of a lot of online entrepreneur’s businesses shared that lately, many women are actually OUTPERFORMING men as online entrepreneurs.
What do you think about that?
I think a whole lot of things about that, but something that definitely seems to be true, is that the online world is really calling for more of a human touch.
It got me wondering if we, as women entrepreneurs, are doing the industry a solid by combining our business and savvy smarts with our natural talents for caring for others to give that human touch people are crying out for. Of course, men are able to create that killer combo as well.
But as a woman, I think we do have a natural, maternal side, that gives a certain touch or feel to our audience, that’s priceless.
The trouble is, I still have a bone a pick with some of you.
Because some of us haven’t allowed ourselves to utilize this killer combo.
I truly believe that I was put on the planet to be one of the humans that helps to shift some things that have been ingrained in us, as women, for far too long.
So today, I’m gonna do my job. I’m gonna do my part of waking up more women, to start taking up a F***-Ton more space in this online world.
Disclaimer: You may love what I have to say or you may hate it. And if you hate it, and it triggers you, then maybe you’re the kind of woman who needs to hear it the most. Additionally, I am more than happy to to be the target of your anger, if it gets the job done.
Regardless… it’s all in love, and service to you. I mean that with my whole heart.
So here are some of the reasons that you might be hiding your light under a ROCK.
1) You live in VictimVille/ You’re a Control Freak
As women, perhaps many of us are naturally maternal, and that’s a strength. But like any strength, it’s a strength, until it becomes a weakness when it’s not kept in check.
And all of our behaviors are teaching others, about our priorities.
Definition of Victim: A great or constant sufferer.
Are you someone who tries to do it all? If so, how’s that going for ya?
I know you like to take care of everyone, and wear ALL HATS in your business. But guess what, if you don’t start getting your message out, and acting like the CEO, instead of an assistant, you become exhausted.
In fact, you CAN’T be a leader in that instance. What you CAN do, is end up building up resentment; and/or later in life saying that you lived it for everyone but you. Truth be told, if these are the rules you’re living by, especially in terms of running your business, you have no one to blame but yourself <3
It’s SO easy to wish for the results of a World Changer, while taking the role of major martyr.
If you act overwhelmed, hopeless, and like it’s too much… then it is, and you are.
So, BE the visionary, and get the support that you need to take action, instead of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
You cannot do it all.
If you’re the owner and visionary for your business, then I can tell you what you’re not:
- You’re not a Web Designer.
- You’re not a Virtual Assistant designing lead pages, formatting emails, etc.
- You’re not an Online Business Manager.
- You’re not a FB Ad Specialist.
- You’re not a Social Media Manager.
- You’re not an Editor.
- You’re not a PDF Designer.
- You’re not CRM Specialist.
Unless you ARE one of these roles, which is AWESOME!
Question: How can you let go of the million things you’ve decided YOU need to do, and start asking for help and support and let go of your control freak-ness enough to step into specialist, expert, CEO, and world changer.
Isn’t that why you started this business in the first place?
2) You don’t want to be Spammy or Sales-y
I get it, but I want you to think think about something…
Think about another woman that you love. Is it your daughter, your sister, your mother, your grandmother, your best friend, your sister from another mister, your aunt, your little niece?
What’s a gift she has to share with the world? Something that you’re proud of her for? Something that’s special about her?
Now, how would you feel if you saw someone walk up to her while she was joyfully sharing her gift, and say to her, “Stop that, you’re drawing too much attention to yourself. Keep that to yourself.”
That’s right, what if she was told to be quiet about her gifts?
What would you do?
What might you say to her?
I’m guessing you’d tell her to keep on keepin’ on and to NEVER forget the gifts she has and how they can help change the world.
If you’re with me, great!
And, if you feel that way, then stop BEING that person who is TEACHING her that she SHOULD hide her gifts, by hiding your OWN.
Is it because you “don’t feel worthy,” “aren’t sure you’re good enough,” “feel worried that no one will invest to work with you”?
One of the reasons I OWN my offers, is because my mom taught me to. She did it before she even knew she was doing it.
She was told she wasn’t smart enough to get a PhD in Chemistry, by another woman, no less. But she did it anyway, as one of the ONLY women. And when I heard that story, and taught me that I could do the things I wanted to do no matter what other people thought.
But not all of us are that lucky or privileged.
That means we have to take on the responsibility ourselves, in terms of what we teach the other women around us about their own worth and ability to share their gifts.
Historically, women were not land owners and they didn’t control wealth, with a few exceptions.
It wasn’t until 1978, that most woman in this country could get their own credit cart without a man co-signing.
Today, only 9% of executives are women. That’s all.
Isn’t it about effin’ time that we end the legacy and get over ourselves a little bit? Get over the fear? Because it’s not really about your fear, unless you make it.
When you think sales are icky, and offering your gifts are sleazy, you teach yourself and everyone else, to CONTINUE buying into a LEGACY of women being 2nd class in our relationship with impact, resources, and as business owners. Yup, you just keep being a part of locking us all in to the legacy.
3) You’re a FRAUD!
You’re a fraud, right?
At least that’s what you’re worried might be true.
Well hey, maybe you are and maybe you aren’t.
I’ve never meet a client of mine who didn’t genuinely care about helping others.
The thing is, even the most successful humans feel that fear, BUT, they don’t act on it.
AND lady, EVERYbody’s gotta start somewhere.
In that workshop I attended, there were ALL women attendees and only one man who was attending.
This man? Well, he chimed in quite a bit. He sure as hell took up some space in the room and he didn’t seem to mind one bit. You’d have thought that maybe it was his workshop that he was hosting.
What I found so fascinating is that I noticed myself, and just about every other woman in the room apologize for asking too many questions at least once.
In my own group programs, I’ve got amazing women, but I have never in my life heard a group of men speak so much about their fear of being visible, or charging that price. Never EVER.
It seems it’s a constant battle for a significant amount of women.
The thing is, you start seeing yourself differently, when you start making different choices and getting out of your comfort zone, and STOP apologizing for yourself.
You ONLY need a glimmer of your gifts, that’s all, and then it’s time to start acting on them, so you can master your gifts and develop your craft to expert level.
A mentor of mine said, you can’t course correct while standing still. And it’s true.
That means it’s time for you to ditch all three of these things that might be stopping you from really going for it and remember that it’s so much bigger than just you and your fears.
To stepping out,

Recently there have been conflicting reports that the Oxygen network would be pulling Shawty Lo’s controversial reality special All My Babies’ Mamas from their network lineup before the show even hit the air.
Oxygen has now officially decided to cancel the special.
“As part of our development process, we have reviewed casting and decided not to move forward with the special,” an Oxygen spokesperson said in a statement to theGrio. “We will continue to develop compelling content that resonates with our young female viewers and drives the cultural conversation.”
The program was initially slated for release this spring as a one hour reality special on Oxygen TV. The show would follow Shawty Lo and his 11 children by ten different mothers. According to Oxygen, “Shawty Lo and his family were considered for the show, but other families were being considered as well.”
Teasers for All My Babies’ Mamas first came out in December 2012. The description in the show’s press release read, “As the household grows, sometimes so does the dysfunction, leaving the man of the house to split his affection multiple ways while trying to create order. Will there be a conflict over a family holiday, who needs school supplies and who holds the household finance purse strings, or can these feisty babies’ mamas band together and live peacefully as one family unit?”
The special immediately received intense scrutiny from media watchdog groups, saying it would portray a negative image of the African-American family and glorify the stigma of “the baby mama.”
Earlier this month, The Parents Television Council asked the network to not let the program air, calling it “grotesquely irresponsible and exploitive.” Their involvement came on the heels of Sabrina Lamb, a New York writer who started a petition cancel the show, which already has more than 37,000 supporters on Change.org.
“By pushing these degrading images, your company seeks to profit from the humiliation of girls and women and the blatant stereotyping of African-Americans,” Lamb wrote in the petition.
Yesterday Paul Porter a leader of the media think tank Industry Ears, who was also demanding for the show’s cancellation, told theGrio “we’re announcing victory.”
Porter noted that not only did Industry Ears collect signatures, but all major advertisers and corporate sponsors for the network were contacted.
“This show exploits children more directly than any other, and putting children in a mix like that is toxic,” he pointed out. “The good news is the project was really only in the development stages.”
Though Shawty Lo has not commented on the special, he recently spoke out to MTV News in support of his family’s living situation, saying he believes he is a good father to his children.
“I take care of all my kids…Outta all the 10 baby mamas, I just have problems outta one. That’s it,” he said.
Oxygen and theGrio.com are both a part of NBC Universal.

Review of The Falconi Effect: A Modern Novel About the Days of the Messiah, by Catriel Sugarman (2016) paperback. 394 pages. Ketoret. ISBN-10: 0692531882.
The symbol of Jerusalem’s Third Temple and its implications for Messianic Times, including world peace, universal brotherhood and the end goal of the Jewish mission, looms large in Jewish, Christian and even some Muslim traditions. According to the Bible, both the First and Second Temples stood on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and the Third Temple, as described and prophesied in the Book of Ezekiel, will be there, too.
In “The Falconi Effect” by Catriel Sugarman, that time has come. The Third Temple, called in Hebrew the Beit HaMikdash, is standing and operating, and the world is changing.
The book is teeming with information, but, because it is such a good story, the facts—historical, religious and even architectural—go down easy. This is not a dry textbook. It is a fun read.
This is no mean feat. The construction of the Beit HaMikdash assumes the disappearance of two Muslim shrines, the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque, both of which were built on the site of the neglected Temple Mount immediately after the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in 638 CE.
Not so in “The Falconi Effect.” In Mr. Sugarman’s sturdy, knowledgeable hands, the Temple is a very real place, imbued as much with quotidian living as it is with End Times mythology.
A craftsman in wood and metals who has actually completed a miniature model of the Beit HaMikdash, Mr. Sugarman is well-versed in the intricacies of the building, its functions and its maintenance. His model, the result of 500 hours of research and two years of construction, is considered a masterpiece of gold, silver, bronze and fine wood by both patrons of the arts as well as Hebrew scholars. It is now part of a private collection. Mr. Sugarman’s knowledge of the Temple lies at the base of “The Falconi Effect,” and the story he weaves, like the structure itself, flows naturally once the ground rules are accepted. How do the Levites know who among the visitors to the Temple are actually in a purified state? How is it that the High Priest understands the inner workings of the minds of men and women whose goodwill can affect the efficient working of the Temple and spread the word of its mission? Mr. Sugarman doesn’t answer these questions. This is just the way things are once the Third Temple stands on the Temple Mount.
This story, which is filled with information about the Temple, the history of the Jews and the tradition’s image of what an ideal world will look like, is not about a struggle between good and evil. There are no villains here. This is a tale of transformations.
Careful readers of “The Falconi Effect” should not be surprised to find themselves transformed, too. “The Falconi Effect” may just be the perfect postscript to the Book of Ezekiel.

During the past twenty years, Hawaiian dramatist and museum educator Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl has become established as one of the foremost playwrights working in the contemporary Pacific. Since the mid-1980s, a dominant strand of Kneubuhl's oeuvre has involved a critical examination of Hawai'i's colonial history, using various forms of theatrical performance to interrogate historical injustices and characterizations of Hawaiian culture that erase or overwrite indigenous epistemologies, offering restorative models and, in some instances, stimulating efforts that bring about material social change. This paper surveys six of Kneubuhl's historiographic works produced during the 1980s and 1990s, highlighting varied dramaturgical strategies employed to engage the cultural past in order to address contemporary concerns. The discussion distinguishes two broad theatrical genres arising from Kneubuhl's training and work experience: historical "plays for the theatre," which incorporate fictional or fantastic elements and are designed for repeated performance within the aesthetic and commercial frame of amateur or professional theatre production; and her "living history programs," site- and occasion-specific performances based more directly on documentary sources and developed in consultation with historians, with a stricter pedagogical purview and a tendency toward a more realist style of presentation. This overview of Kneubuhl's plays and programs foregrounds the important cultural interventions effected by her work during the last two decades, and contributes to an investigation of the various uses of performance in helping to construct indigenous histories in Oceania, while engaging in a broader dialogue about the ways in which theatre functions actively within the postcolonial Pacific. | <urn:uuid:157bc748-f101-4330-a772-0a515fd4f24d> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://muse.jhu.edu/article/419959/pdf | 2021-05-06T10:06:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243988753.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20210506083716-20210506113716-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.944015 | 331 |
Dear ManageMagazine Readers
Today ManageMagazine has been online for two full years to serve leaders and managers actionable knowledge and food-for-thought about How to Manage with Passion, Wisdom & Creativity.
It has been a fantastic year with many milestones reached and many new moonshots (goals) to follow. By looking back, we look into creating the future.
Contributors to ManageMagazine
It’s a great honor being able to publish so much actionable knowledge, always with the intention of providing a fuller understanding of what is going on ‘under the hood’ of organizations and providing tips, tools, and guidelines for implementing successful changes.
This is only possible due to our long list of contributing authors and amazing partners, who evaluate the success of their knowledge by the impact it creates.
From the ManageMagazine team to all authors, please receive our heartfelt gratitude and words of thanks. You make it all happen. Specifically, your hard creative work makes ManageMagazine rank very high among global leadership and management magazines – surely not in terms of quantity of publications, but rather in terms of high-quality content.
ManageMagazine Co-Creative Partnerships
At ManageMagazine, we are particularly proud to have engaged new Co-Creative Partnerships with outstanding organizations and individuals of great passion, wisdom, and creativity.
The Project Leadership Institute in the Netherlands, run by Susanne Madsen, Bart Hoitink, and Jivan Schuurmans, is an outstanding example of what happens when you gather people who are driven by a vision for a greater future and possesses the skills to execute plans for reaching it.
What’s more, partnering with the award-winning BIZCATALYST360 and editor-in-chief Dennis Pitocco – operating out of Tampa Bay, Florida – is a true honor. Dennis Pitocco is another great example of a truly great individual living out dreams of creating a new and brighter future for the many.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Dennis Pitocco and his team on their new non-profit adventure GOODWORKS 360°, which has recently launched. Another beautiful and purposeful venture coming from the 360 group. They deliver mission-critical pro bono services to deserving non-profits around the world. Please go and have a look.
In Spring 2019 – We invite you to Yet Another Henry Mintzberg Event
In May 2018 we had a fantastic event in Copenhagen with Henry Mintzberg, thanks to the outstanding collaboration with our Co-Creative Partner – Henry Mintzberg’s family business, CoachingOurselves.
We co-branded this event in great partnership with Hildebrandt & Brandi and prestigious national business papers visited to report from Henry Mintzberg’s talk about Re-Balancing Society.
We are extremely proud that Henry Mintzberg and CoachingOurselves have asked ManageMagazine to host yet another event in Denmark in the spring of 2019, following up on the success of 2018.
We’ll keep you posted on this event and if you are in the area you will have a chance to come by. As of now, we’re in the process of talking to interested co-creative partners, co-branders, and sponsors for this upcoming Mintzberg event so feel free to contact me at [email protected] if this is interesting for you and your organization.
More Events from ManageMagazine
Our vision is to create inspiring, healthy, and prosperous organizations of tomorrow and our mission is delivering the information needed to accomplish the specific creation of healthy organizations built out of passion, wisdom, and creativity.
So – in the spirit of these thoughts, we are launching our first events to facilitate leaders and managers on the journey of improving businesses, non-profits, and government institutions.
Everything has a beginning, and the beginning of MM Events starts out in Aarhus, Denmark.
During 2019, events will be held in major cities in Europe to the extent possible. We want as many as possible readers – whether ManageMagazine members and others interested – to be able to gain knowledge from these events, so they can bring it home to create greater organizations.
Here’s a couple of examples of what’s on in the near future:
Workshop: Making Collaboration your Greatest Advantage
In collaboration with Paul Skinner, we invite you to join us in Aarhus the 5-6th of December for our first 2-day workshop: Making Collaboration Your Greatest Advantage.
Paul and I will host the workshop together therein our work suits each other extremely well for making a real difference for a group of participants.
In June, Paul Skinner published his extraordinary book: The Collaborative Advantage: How collaboration beats competition as a strategy for success. My own research is about identifying dominant logics and breaking down barriers of collaboration.
Together we’ll talk about creating collaborative advantages and provide tools and frameworks for understanding how to avoid barriers to collaboration so strategy becomes reality and so dreams have result an impact.
Workshop Design Thinking: How to Design a Company Culture
We are excited to invite you to a 1-day workshop about Design Thinking with Professor Tyrone Pitsis from Durham University. The workshop takes place in the spring of 2019 also in Aarhus. We’ll keep you posted on this event also.
Partnership & Collaboration Festival 2019
One of my dreams for the Fall of 2019 is to host a festival about Partnerships and Collaboration. We deliberately call it a festival and not a conference, as we are looking to give participants ‘mind-bites’ of cultural input throughout the festival.
These ‘mind-bites’ will make for a more cheerful learning process while ensuring new ways of ‘clearing one’s head’ shaking off information overload.
We’ll find a groovy setting to replace the well known dusty hotel carpets with a rustic urban environment. Invited are then musicians and theatre groups to help create a fun and engaging festival. A festival that, however, will not lack serious and actionable knowledge presented in a lively and engaging fashion.
Stay tuned for more on our Partnership & Collaboration festival. If you sign-up for our newsletter, the MM Post, then you are sure to be notified about this festival in due time.
Thank You for Your Support
Finally, I want to say THANK YOU for your support along the journey of building a magazine with a focus on sharing actionable knowledge with leaders and managers.
Thank you for reading ManageMagazine. Thank you for sharing our articles with friends and colleagues, for commenting on articles, and for being part of our community and so much more.
We couldn’t do it without you.
Please contact me if you have ideas about how ManageMagazine can better facilitate you as a decision maker. Also write to me if you have topic suggestions for future articles or other things, which we haven’t thought of. Your feedback is extremely valuable to me.

Scotch whisky is very characteristic, and the taste of it is rather different from one distillery to the other one. For those reasons, the selling of whisky has been confined to Scotland for many years. People outside Scotland were not really interested by this beverages. To be successful on international markets, to major problems had to be solved:
the taste of whisky is very different from one distillery to the other
French Cognac represented a big concurrence
Blended whiskywas a solution for the first problem. The principle is a clever proportioning of malts from several distilleries and grain whisky. Grain whisky was made possible by the invention of the Coffey Still.
The solution to the second problem was found in the major ecologic catastrophe which affected the French vineyards during the second half of the 19th century and destroyed nearly all the vines on the French territory, including the ones used in production of Cognac.
Phylloxera is a microscopic insect living form the sap of vine. This insect arrived from America, and wiped the French vineyards off the map in a few years time. Only the grafting technique could save France from this major catastrophe. The redding technique consisted of grafting French vines on american stocks. The american stocks were insensible for phylloxera. The european vineyards resumed slowly thanks to this technique. But the production of Cognac was reduced to the meanest share.
So water-of-life lovers had to turn towards whisky. But, unlike Cognac (which is in most cases sold as a blend) single malt was still very different according to the producing distillery or region. Standardisation of the taste was then the major challenge for whisky producers, who wanted to take this unique opportunity to sell their product worldwide.
An Irish invention solved that problem.
The Coffey Still
Aeneas Coffey invented a new kind of still, making continuous distilling of grain alcohol a reality. This still is called "Coffey still" or "Patent still". In opposition to the traditional "pot still", is was not made for distilling malted barley.
Aeneas Coffey was an Irish man born in Dublin in 1780. This could rekindle the controversy about the origin of whisky. Both nations fight over the paternity of whisky since ages.
His invention, patented in Ireland in 1830, and still considered as a major contribution of Ireland in the world of innovation, consists of a kind of "warmth exchanger made of two columns called respectively the "analyzer" and the "rectifier".
The functioning of this kind of stills is rather complex.
Unlike malt whisky, grain whisky is distilled in a continuous operation. The invention of the "Patent Still" made distillation of grain and corn possible. Corn is the basic ingredient of american whisky, also known under the name of "bourbon". The way to standardisation of scotch whisky was open.
This made it possible for the scotch industry to put on the market a product able to compete with the French cognac which was in a very bad situation due to the catastrophe of the phylloxera. Blended whisky quickly ousted single malt till recently.
Lots of distilleries exclusively produced whisky for blenders. Some of them were build especially for that purpose. | <urn:uuid:e70bbd7a-2c73-4a7a-90c2-019294711c97> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.whisky-distilleries.info/en/history-of-whisky/whisky-vs-cognac | 2020-10-30T22:11:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107911792.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20201030212708-20201031002708-00041.warc.gz | en | 0.965817 | 684 |
sweater: similar here
I’m pretty big on the boyfriend jean trend (ironically, my boyfriend completely hates it when I wear them, but oh well). I don’t know about you, but I don’t wake up every single morning wanting to pull on my tightest skinny jeans. Often I want to go for a comfier look, and boyfriend jeans work perfectly for those types of days. I went for a pale and slightly distressed pair from Free People, however I’m also planning on purchasing a pair in black. I threw on my comfiest sweater and a hat, and added a pair of platform heels. I typically wear boyfriend jeans with either platforms or boots with a slight heel for a more slimming look (personally I don’t love the silhouette with flats.)
What do you guys think of the boyfriend jean trend? | <urn:uuid:26684ceb-f707-4384-920c-58ae843b8d4c> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://paulagallagherblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/11/boyfriend-jeans/ | 2018-07-20T14:25:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591683.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20180720135213-20180720155213-00213.warc.gz | en | 0.91865 | 183 |
I have a confession to make.
I’ve been watching the Biggest Loser this season.
I blame Marie. Marie, a contestant on the show, is from my hometown of Springfield, Missouri. I tuned into the first episode out of curiosity. My first impression was she was going to go home early. I tuned in next week to see if my prediction was correct. It wasn’t. So I continued to tune in every Wednesday afternoon (via the NBC app on my phone) while I did my treadmill intervals. Then I got hooked.
As a fitness professional, I am normally not a big fan of the Biggest Loser. I think it sets up unrealistic expectations for weight loss. There should be nothing disappointing about losing 4 pounds in a “week” (there is debate about how long the TV weeks are). The show can also make my job harder because it may be the only impression potential clients have of personal trainers and their behavior. For the record, I have NEVER made anyone puke nor have I ever jumped on a client’s back. That may make good television but most people don’t respond well to it in real life.
As I watched each week’s workouts and weigh in, I did see that there are some redeeming qualities to the show. If you look past the shameless product placement there are some important lessons one can learn about getting fit in the Real World.
- You will lose a lot of weight in the first couple of weeks then hit the skids.
When you cut out the sugar and starch you will lose a lot of water. This accounts for the big numbers in the first couple of weeks. Then your weight loss will slow down. And that’s okay. Slow and steady may not help you win a game show but the weight is more likely to stay off if you keep your weekly loss between .5 -2 pounds per week.
- You have to find your WHY.
Everyone has a different reason for being on the ranch. Everyone has something deep and personal pushing them through the intense workouts and separation from their families. This journey takes a lot of work. Changing a lifetime of habits is extremely hard. You need something driving you each day that really means something to you. Without your WHY you won’t make it very far.
- Your body will do what it wants, when it wants and how it wants.
Hap and Tonya have both stood on the scale with baffled expressions when the numbers were “small”. Their trainers backed up their proclamations of hard work. Yet the numbers don’t reflect it. Fat loss is not a perfect science. Weight loss is not linear. Most importantly, fat loss and weight loss are also not the same. Their bodies are changing just not in a way that shows up on the scale. They shouldn’t be disappointed and neither should you when the scale doesn’t drop. Focus on how your pants fit or how much longer you can hold your plank.
- There is power in numbers.
Having a support system is a huge secret to their weight loss. On the ranch they are surrounded by people on the same journey. They have experts at their disposal for food and fitness questions. They have a solid support system. Don’t be afraid to ask for help on your journey. Surround yourself with those who share your values of health and fitness.
- At the end of the day, the only person you can really depend on is yourself.
In the last episode before the holiday hiatus the teams dissolved. Now it was time for each player to stand on his or her own. Eventually you too have to take responsibility for your journey and your actions. So what if someone brought donuts to work? It’s your choice if you eat them. So what if your workout partner canceled? You can still go to the gym or do a workout at home. All results are tied to the choices YOU make.
What do you think? Are you a Biggest Loser fan? What lessons have you learned from the show – good or bad? | <urn:uuid:42d05d72-bd2a-400a-bb5e-552788e46655> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.thrivepersonalfitness.com/2014/01/5-real-fitness-lessons-from-the-biggest-loser/ | 2017-05-25T05:05:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607998.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525044605-20170525064605-00283.warc.gz | en | 0.965705 | 850 |

So, thinking about life and the choices we make, the things we get to choose from, why we pick one and leave the other, the pain we go through to choose when we have to choose between two things we totally love. Reminds me of the late Papa Yankson’s “S3 ekoto womame na wo yir d3 wo gun so mu a, eb3yi hwana?” literally meaning, if you see your mom and wife drowning in a river, who would you save? This is the case of a lady who is an only child and has to choose between her sick mom and her husband. Sending her story to CASE STUDY on 3FM with Michelle McKinney Hammond and David Papa Bondze-Mbir, the issue read:
I was raised by my mother. I never met my Dad. Everything I am today, my mother’s influence helped shape it. My choice of schools, career, Husband, my mother was a part of each decision making.
That’s why it’s very difficult for me to leave her all by herself. She’s 79 years old, and I am her only child.
I used to employ a qualified nurse and a professional help to attend to her failing health issues, however, my attention was drawn to how they (those I hired) maltreated my mother. They would whip, slap, shout/scream at her, insult and deny her food, leave or lock her all alone in her room – whilst they entertained men in my mother’s house.
I have proof of all these because I have surveillance cameras installed in her house. After talking things through with my husband, concerning my mother’s condition, we agreed on letting her stay with us.
I have been married for Seven (7) years, and I have Two (2) kids. My mother has been staying with us for the past Three (3) years, without any problems, until recently, when my husband started giving me attitude.
He wants my mother out of the house. I have overhead him argue with his mother on phone – explaining why mine is staying with us. She wants to also come over and stay with us.
Dave, I don’t have any problems with my mother-in-law coming over. My issue is, why should she use my mom’s stay to make a point? She’s not sick. All her kids are alive and doing well. They all take care of her. We live in a Four (4) bedroom house. The kids sleep in two, my mom is in the third room.
My husband is insisting I let my sick mother return to her house, so we hire different caretakers to attend to her. I can’t do that. She went through hell when I trusted employees.
My husband of late doesn’t come home early. He doesn’t talk to my mother because she questions why he stays out as late as 12 AM.
He used to not be like that. Now I am also beginning to feel my mother’s presence is causing my husband to change.
I am getting fed up with seeing my mother around the house too. I love her, and would not want her to be left alone, knowing very well she’s not that healthy. She needs her family around, but to whose expense, mine?
I love my husband, and wouldn’t want to be the reason why he changes into something else. I think for the sake of keeping my husband, I may want to keep my mother out of our house.
I am just confused.
What would you do in her case? Would you be ungrateful and let go your mom, who has single handedly catered for you from birth, health, through education and all that you are and have today? In this case she is your mom, she had just you and she is old and sick. Or would you forget your vows and go against your husband whom you have become one because of the vows you shared? Finding yourself in situations like this makes one very sorry for being in this world. The question is: what if you leave your mom and she dies? The guilt that will come with it which you would have to live with for the rest of your life! What if the decision to go with your mom and ignore your husband breaks your marriage? Think about it.

They were linked to scores of robberies across the Midlands and were caught after some of their haul was advertised for sale over the internet.
But now the two men are behind bars for their part in a string of break-ins in Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire.
They were caught following a long operation by police which saw detectives trawl through phone data and traffic cameras.
It is also included contacting Canadian authorities to find information about the websites used by Mark Toogood, of Dudley.
The 28-year-old of Stourbridge Road, Dudley was jailed for nine years and Matthew Clinton Brookes, also 28, of Field Road, Princes End, Tipton, was jailed for seven-and-a-half years.
Both had admitted conspiracy to burgle addresses in the three counties.
Detective Constable Dave Louden of West Mercia Police said the investigation was launched when Toogood was arrested for three separate burglaries last June.
He was found to be selling property from burglaries on free websites, and detectives analysed his phones and used data from ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras to link him to about 38 burglaries committed across the Midlands over the previous year.
Through Toogood police were able to trace Brooks, and he could be linked to about 20 of the burglaries.
DC Louden said: “This was a very complex and in-depth case involving West Mercia and various other police forces.
“As the websites Toogood used were registered in Canada, it became an international inquiry, and we had to seek the permission of the authorities over there to access information about how he had used the internet to advertise and offload the stolen goods.
“A lot of hard work went into bringing these charges against both Toogood and Brooks, and we are very pleased with the result.”
In December, Toogood was given a 32-month sentence for carrying out three burglaries - two in Redditch and one in Fairfield, near Bromsgrove – for which he was arrested in June.
Last autumn West Mercia Police launched Citadel, a scheme aimed at reducing the number of burglaries taking place across the force area.
The operational tactics being used include greater analysis of crime patterns, co-ordinated use of new technology such as ANPR software, and partnership work as well as more traditional policing tactics such as high visibility patrols in burglary hotspots.Subscribe to our Newsletter | <urn:uuid:a321f100-7098-4571-a163-51c08c813fab> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2014/05/24/serial-midlands-burglars-jailed-after-uk-raids-haul-found-on-canadian-websites/ | 2015-03-31T06:40:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131300441.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172140-00096-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981248 | 514 |

Skin Cancer Clinic
Skin cancer surgery involves removing the tumor and then reconstructing it. Depending on the size and location of the tumour the skin can either be pulled together and closed. If the skin cancer is larger and depending on the location, you might need a skin flap or graft.
A graft is skin and sometimes cartilage that is disconnected from its blood supply and moved to a different location. It survives by in growth of blood supply from the recipient bed. Grafts need to be kept dry for 1-2 weeks depending on the location of the graft.
All scars need to be protected from the sun for about one year after surgery to prevent them getting darker. This can be with taping, sunscreen or barrier clothing as necessary.
How can I prepare for surgery?
What you do is vital to the success of the operation. Before the operation:
- Stop smoking as this significantly increases complications rates. You cannot smoke for 6 weeks prior and 6 weeks after surgery.
- Stop all blood thinners unless previously discussed with Dr Hadi. Please stop any over the counter medications that might thin the blood. You will be given an extensive list during your consultation. Please check any over the counter medications to see whether they contain these ingredients.
- Shower the morning of surgery with a medicated soap. These reduce the bacteria living on the skin and there is evidence it reduces chance of infection.
Where will the procedure be performed?
The procedure can be performed at The Swan Clinic or at Kareena Hospital depending on your preference and the extent of the procedure.
How long will the procedure take
You will need to be fasted at least six hours before surgery. The procedure usually takes around 1-2 hours.
After the procedure you will be given something to eat and drink and we will look after you to ensure you are feeling well. You will be given antibiotic tablets and pain relief tablets to take home so that you can be comfortable. You will be given Dr Hadi’s number to contact her if you have any concerns or questions post operatively.
What about showering?
You can generally shower from the next day. We will confirm this with you.
When can I go back to work?
You generally need 1-2 weeks off work. If it is a leg skin cancer, you might need longer depending on its size and location.
What about exercise?
Please avoid heavy exercise for two to four weeks after the procedure.
What about Swimming?
Generally 2 weeks of swimming avoidance is preferred depending on what type of reconstruction you have had.
What about the sutures?
Sutures will need to be removed around 1 week for flap repair. Graft sutures are generally dissolvable.
What about scar management?
Initially all flaps need to be taped to help with healing. Silicone gel is then usually applied from two weeks post operatively for six weeks, depending on how the wound heals.
Grafts need to have moisturised for a few months after surgery.
What can you do after surgery?
Your part in the operation is essential. You can help achieve the best possible outcome by:
- Keep the operative area elevated.
- Keep the area clean
- Take tablet antibiotics as prescribed to avoid infection
- Do not smoke for at least 6 weeks after surgery
- Come back for regular review as detailed in the next section to ensure your healing is progressing at each stage.
What about post-operative visits?
As a minimum, you will be seen by Dr Hadi one week after surgery, two weeks after surgery, six weeks after surgery and twelve weeks after surgery. Further follow up depends on how the wounds are healing. Some patients come back to see us at the one-year mark. This is so that you can have the best possible outcome.
Please call the Swan Clinic on 9526-6885 following your surgery to ensure we have booked all your follow up appointments.
As our patient at the The Swan Clinic, you will be well looked after and can count on our honesty, as we always have your wellbeing in mind.
Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions. | <urn:uuid:d5096be3-5f7f-4652-9a4f-0b71f6475007> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://www.swanclinic.com.au/procedures/skin-checks-and-skin-cancers/how-to-treat-skin-cancers/ | 2018-08-21T04:44:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221217951.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20180821034002-20180821054002-00601.warc.gz | en | 0.931187 | 973 |

Date Night! On those seemingly rare occasions when everything falls into place and events proceed as though following the script of a romantic classic, it's good to savor the moment. I've been savoring now for 28 hours... My wife and I escaped our home last Saturday night to enjoy an evening of unfettered relaxation. We'd engaged the kids' favorite babysitter, and left the house with a simple plan, only 3 generally-defined destinations. We arrived for Catholic Mass at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis at about 4:30. We were early, and discovered a wedding party just departing. As we entered the church, I was drawn back to my childhood attendance of Mass at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Sleepy Eye . Though the church of my childhood is somewhat less grand than the Basilica, the notable similarities helped inaugurate our evening with pleasant reminiscence. Once Mass had concluded, we returned to the car and drove the 3 blocks to the Walker Art Center
GullFOSS - Sun Microsystems joins porting effort for OpenOffice.org for Mac We can only hope that there'll be some excellent cross-pollination between Sun's team and the folks at NeoOffice . NeoOffice has done a good job of delivering added value to OOo, and it would be a shame to see that good work fall by the wayside as the OOo core evolves to include its own Mac-native UX. I'm sure mine is not the only voice encouraging the teams to find ways to cooperate and bring the best of both to OpenOffice's Mac user community. | <urn:uuid:ab0c3318-4294-4227-91e2-88a273cdd7ec> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://blog.joepeichel.com/2001/10/web-entourage-mac-os-scripting.html | 2021-02-28T08:57:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178360745.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228084740-20210228114740-00164.warc.gz | en | 0.931031 | 483 |

When creating a hosted feature layer view the following is stated:
You can overwrite the hosted feature layer from which the view was created to refresh the data only if the following are true:
- The parent hosted feature layer was published from a file in ArcGIS Online, not from ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap.
- The hosted feature layer view was not generated by the Join Features analysis tool.
- You did not define an area of interest on the view.
The first point needs to be looked at. At the moment you can't publish a layer from Pro, make views from the hosted feature layer in ArcGISOnline and then use Pro again to overwrite the hosted feature layer to refresh the data of the parent hosted FL.
When using the overwrite web layer tool in ArcGIS Pro it tries to delete all the related service items. Which it can't because there are views created from the parent layer.
StatusMessage: Server Response: ERROR: code:400, Unable to delete item. This service item has a related Service item, Bad syntax in request.
However you CAN publish from a FGDB (or any other file) in Online or use FME to publish. It really stuns me that you can't use ArcGIS Pro for this.
So please take it into consideration to fix this!

My knowledge of World War II history is abysmal. For that matter, so is my knowledge of the first half of the 1900s. That’s an added benefit of doing genealogy now – I’m filling in gaps in my general knowledge of history.
It turns out that Castel di Sangro – most likely the home of Custode Iacobucci before she came to America – was held by the Germans during WWII. If the Italian genealogy source is correct, it is also where Adriano Giorgio was living after he left Dunbar and where he married his third wife – Maria Flamminio – in June 1913.
If our estimate of when he died is correct (early 1950s) he would have been in Castel di Sangro during WWII. Given his birth date of 1871, he would have been too old to fight for Italy during WWII but he would have lived there during the German occupation.
Which means he would have experienced this after the Germans were forced out by the Allied Forces Eighth Army. This picture appeared in Pittsburgh newspaper on January 2, 1944. The fighting around Castel di Sangro occurred in late November 1943.
I wonder how our ancestors who were from Italy felt when they saw their home town in ruins? There were plenty of Georges and Iacobuccis who joined the American Armed Forces and fought for the Allies so I know our ancestors were proud Americans willing to fight for their new country. Most of those young enough to fight during WWII had probably never been back to Italy, but for those older relatives who grew up there, I imagine this would have been a heartbreaking sight. | <urn:uuid:f1dee9e9-5e57-4ddb-8907-65301c05ef08> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://trovandofamiglia.wordpress.com/2016/02/ | 2017-05-01T04:24:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917127681.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031207-00580-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.993255 | 336 |
The grille, pictured above, supports rumors we’ve heard that the Wrangler JL will retain the SUV’s iconic seven-slot grille. It also appears more modern than the outgoing Wrangler JK’s with headlights partially integrated into the slotted grille section and an overall more streamlined, aerodynamic appearance.
Adding to the validity of the purported Wrangler JL grille is the lack of indicator lights. The Wrangler JK’s grille featured circular turn signals below the headlamps, however the Wrangler JL will feature LED turn signals on the front fenders, so there’s no need for the extra set of lights on the grille.
The final major change we can spot is the lack of a Jeep badge. The Wrangler JK’s grille featured a chrome ‘Jeep’ text badge above the seven-slot opening, however the JL will likely wears its front-end badge on the hood. It’s also possible Jeep will do away with a front-end badge and rely solely on the Wrangler’s iconic appearance to give it away as a Jeep product.
The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL will debut at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we’ll continue to cole out information as it becomes available. | <urn:uuid:383ae651-da62-4a22-b823-b1592e47f9a5> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://fcauthority.com/2017/01/potential-2018-jeep-wrangler-jl-grille-leaks/ | 2019-02-18T14:17:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247486936.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218135032-20190218161032-00629.warc.gz | en | 0.890352 | 279 |

Volunteer Spotlight: Michelle Messemer
Michelle Messemer has been involved with DAWS for nearly a decade. She is currently our shelter’s Foster Coordinator and prior to that was the Cat Program Co-Chair. Michelle has been a true asset to our organization, even far beyond the shelter – she has helped facilitate our community tag sale event, was a gala volunteer coordinator for multiple years, assisted with our 5K, was part of the team for our golf tournament fundraiser, and even drives transport on the weekends to pick up our new animals.
“DAWS has taken over my life, but in the best way possible,” Michelle exclaims. “My eyes have been opened about the needs of homeless pets in our country and while many of the stories are sad, the work people are willing to invest to save their lives and find them adoptive homes is incredible. I cannot imagine a time that I will not be involved in this cause going forward.” One of Michelle’s favorite parts about her role is the adoption process. “The joy for the animals and their new families is very special. I also appreciate the camaraderie displayed by all involved (shelter volunteers, fosters, and staff) who work together to organize all the moving parts to make these adoptions possible.”
Over the last nine years, Michelle has helped countless animals. When asked what she enjoys the most, she said, “I think my most precious memories are of the kittens (or any animal actually) who come into the shelter in a fragile state and watching the clinic and foster families care for them until they are healthy, happy, bundles of joy who I then have the great delight to find homes for.” Gina Amenta, Director of Operations, adds that, “Michelle is the ultimate volunteer! She is compassionate, devoted, and always willing to lend a helping hand in whatever capacity is needed.”
Michelle encourages others to also get involved at DAWS, or at their own local shelter. “To anyone thinking about volunteering, I say ‘go for it!’ There are so many needs you may be able to help with. Not everyone wants to work directly with the animals and that is fine there are other ways to volunteer and contribute. The relationships you will build with other volunteers and staff, as well as the animals will last a lifetime.”
Michelle lives in Brewster, NY with her husband, two adult sons, two dogs (one a DAWS foster fail), and two cats (both DAWS foster fails). She works full-time as a Speech/Language Pathologist and fosters kittens any chance she gets! | <urn:uuid:752fe926-0307-4398-a20e-46a1e10ed46a> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://daws.org/volunteer-spotlight-michelle-messemer/ | 2022-07-07T01:29:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104683020.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220707002618-20220707032618-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.972034 | 557 |

Since I started my tea blog I've learned SO much about tea culture around the world. Growing up, I was only ever exposed to how Persians brew tea. In my family, tea is not so much about brew time but about brew color and aroma. I love to use glass because then I can see if the tea has brewed to the perfect shade. Is this wrong? Who knows, but it's how I enjoy my tea.
I discovered Bitterleaf teas on Instagram and they create beautiful tea ware! I've been wanting to try a gaiwan so I purchased this gorgeous moka glazed gaiwan.
I've seen many people using gaiwans and honestly I was a little intimidated. I'm not an expert in tea and wondered if I would do it wrong. It also didn't help that when I looked up how to use a gaiwan I saw multiple videos that were 20 minutes or longer. Woah, a little out of my league.
BUT, I decided to take a leap. I started this blog to explore and that's what I'm going to do.
I found several guides that were much easier and clearer to understand and I started brewing! I learned many things that were truly fascinating!
Are you thinking, what the heck is a Gaiwan? Gai = lid and Wan= bowl.
The gaiwan is this cute little bowl with a top. Brewing is actually very simple but I found it to be a very meaningful little ceremony. Like Matcha, the brewing process is more involved and I found it to be so calming and meditative!
First you warm both your gaiwan and your tea cup. This is something I have never thought about doing but it is genius! If the gaiwan is cold then the water you pour in will drop in temperature much quicker.
Before your gaiwan cools down too much put your tea leaves into the gaiwan. Now, at this point I have seen many different practices. Some people turn or swish the tea, but the basic idea is to get it spread out and not all stuck together, this way it can brew more evenly.
The first pour into the gaiwan will be a wash. This is one of my favorite parts. This first rinse or wash is just there to wake up the leaves. This is so poetic and fitting for tea, I love it!
Fill your gaiwan once more and let it brew for a few minutes. Brew time is highly dependent on what type of tea you're using. That's it. Enjoy! My favorite part is using a small tea cup so that every time I fill it, the tea is at a different stage in brewing.
I've looked at some rituals that were more complicated, but I liked doing it this way. It was simple but most importantly, it connected me to my tea!
If you have trouble meditating, I suggest trying this ritual of tea brewing. You will focus on your tea, gaiwan and tea cup. You will be calm and the cup of tea you drink at the end is so much more meaningful.
I feel like different gaiwans may start popping up on my shelves, if you have any suggestions drop me a line please! | <urn:uuid:d9f3bd44-3555-4031-b326-a24cecb5276d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://teathoughts.com/thoughts/my-first-gaiwan | 2019-07-23T20:02:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529664.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723193455-20190723215455-00256.warc.gz | en | 0.979675 | 670 |

Havana, September 15 (RHC) At present, some 3.7 million users access the Internet in Cuba through the mobile network. There are also almost 1,600 Wi-Fi areas and 1.7 million permanent Nauta accounts, states an article on the computerization of society published this Tuesday in the Granma newspaper.
In statements to the media, Ernesto Rodríguez Hernández, deputy head of the Ministry of Communications, described the legal bases of computerization in Cuban society, the search by Cuban institutions for technological sustainability and sovereignty.
Rodríguez Hernández pointed out that the National Informatization Program has 22 projects, which seek the creation of technological infrastructure and the development of digital contents and services.
This program includes e-government and e-commerce, cybersecurity, computerization of public registries, online services and procedures, development of national payment gateways, and ICTs to increase yields in agriculture, among other projects.
The Deputy Minister of Communications referred to the development of open-source platforms and national computer applications such as Transransfermóvil, EnZona, DóndeHay, Tuenvío, among others, which illustrate the capacity and strength of the human resources trained by the Revolution, to support the sustainability and sovereignty of the computerization process, promoting the preservation of the nation's culture and values. | <urn:uuid:ed82a708-d62e-46bd-89f9-b75633db3197> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.radiohc.cu/index.php/en/noticias/nacionales/234186-more-cubans-access-the-internet-via-mobile-networks | 2022-11-30T17:03:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710765.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20221130160457-20221130190457-00860.warc.gz | en | 0.90454 | 290 |
Melanie Arakaki Wins A $150 Spree At Safeway
On a recent Wednesday, Melanie Arakaki and daughter Lexie went to Safeway in Waimalu to get some things for dinner.
As she made her purchase at noon, MidWeek‘s representative approached Melanie with a simple question.
She answered correctly and instantly won a $150 Safeway shopping spree.
“I like shopping at Safeway because it’s convenient,” said this week’s Mystery Shopper, a real estate agent.
“Also, they have great deals and coupons.”
A 1992 graduate of Kapaa High School, Melanie was born on Hawaii island, raised on Kauai and moved to Oahu after high school.
In her free time, she enjoys traveling. She also likes to read MidWeek.
“I read it cover to cover,” she said.
“I like the ads, the articles and the coupons.” | <urn:uuid:1e94c192-23c3-4518-8bb0-bff9b885cd15> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://www.midweek.com/melanie-arakaki-wins-150-spree-safeway/ | 2018-09-25T03:00:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267160923.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20180925024239-20180925044639-00283.warc.gz | en | 0.977382 | 207 |
Like many combing tech blogs and tuning into Twitter last night, I saw that an intern was terminated from TechCrunch for allegedly requesting a Macbook Air in exchange for writing about a startup company.
A post by SiliconAngle shared their view of the situation, and linked Daniel to his role as an Intel Insider.
The Intel Insiders are a group of eleven social media advisors. They are people who inspire us for their ability to communicate and connect with people using new technologies. They are great personalities and we’re often amazed at how they can so quickly create and share quality videos, photos and other content online. We seek their valuable feedback on ways Intel can better communicate and share stories with people interested in innovation and Intel technology.
We sometimes involve the Intel Insiders in communications planning processes, invite them to events and occasionally pay for their travel to visit Intel sites and industry events, like Computex or CES. Here’s a collection of highlights celebrating the second year anniversary of the program.
We seed Insiders with products and whenever we do we explicitly require them to publically acknowledge Intel’s support, whether a gift from Intel is involved or if sponsorship or travel was provided by Intel. We follow rules set forth by WOMMA and our legal team guides us to adhere to rules set forth by FTC. Our aim since the first blog post kicking off the Intel Insider program in June 2008 is to build relationships, learn ways to improve our own communication and openly share our intentions and experiences.
Daniel and a group of other talented, young people just attended the Intel Youth Summit at headquarters last week, where each participant received a netbook for sharing their time and ideas for ways Intel can better connect with their technology-interested peers. No one was obligated to attend, and attendees were not obligated to blog, tweet or share videos and photos from our day together. But many did, and were asked and, to our knowledge, openly did express that Intel sponsored their travel and provided a gift for sharing their time.
I spoke with Daniel and we’re glad he wants to remain an Insider. We are also collecting feedback from other Insiders about this situation, and will continue to follow this story with interest.
This weekend we will join Daniel as a sponsor of his annual Teens in Tech event in San Francisco. We’ve learned a lot from getting to know Daniel better, and I personally admire how he works so hard and so passionately building out his dream of being a young entrepreneur. And along the way, I have always seen him generously sharing his knowledge with others. | <urn:uuid:43a83b7a-26e1-42ec-b5fb-5dcb3bde8a6c> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://scoop.intel.com/intel_insiders_program_and_disclosure/ | 2015-11-27T20:50:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398450581.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205410-00330-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968771 | 524 |

The Reverend Bray was a non-conformist chaplain to the Salford Union for 22 years and lived at Holly Bank, Eccles Old Road, Pendleton.
John Dyer Bray was born in Bristol on 2nd December 1867. He was educated at Swansea Grammar School and Rawdon College, Leeds. He first came to the Pastorate of Broughton Baptist Church, Great Clowes St, (later to be called the Salford Union Church) in 1891. At the time of his death he was the longest serving non-conformist minister in Salford.
Reverend Bray took a great interest in the social work of Salford and was an exceptionally good and witty after-dinner speaker. He was a prominent Freemason and held the position of Principal Grand Chaplain of East Lancashire. He was also a Past Master of Royal Salford Lodge. It was reported that when another prominent Freemason, Mr James Higson, JP, was Mayor of Salford in 1917 – 18 one of the "finest Masonic Services ever held in the Borough took place at the Brunswick Wesleyan Church, when Rev Bray preached a sermon that for its eloquence and general treatment made a profound impression".
Just before he died, the Rev Bray suffered from internal pains which he thought were caused by indigestion, but on 20th May he suffered a fatal heart attack at his home on Eccles Old Road, aged 57. The funeral service was held at Pendleton Presbyterian Church and he was interred at Weaste Cemetery. | <urn:uuid:791d8d3b-2e32-4410-86df-be1a65ed66fb> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://www.weasteheritagetrail.co.uk/salford-people/biographies/entry/rev-john-dyer-bray.htm | 2018-03-17T10:56:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257644877.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180317100705-20180317120705-00382.warc.gz | en | 0.987845 | 322 |

She peers through eyes that have orbited well
always looking outward
unable to see her own reflection.
In a heartbeat
her seasoned gaze locks with his
causing her to momentarily forget
how many times she has circled the moon
There is no male equivalent of nubile.
Confusion locates itself in her brain
then ripples and courses through each stenotic artery
circles sinewy ligaments
dodges her shrinking uterus
bounces off her shortened Achilles heel
and settles into
the gravity in her body.
and of the moment.
Her heart chambers echo and clang.
Her sacrum remembers to ache.
with crooked fingers
she smooths her skirt over her knees
and readjusts her gaze.

Chiefs’ Reid: Good chance that Tamba Hali plays Sunday
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that injured linebackers Justin Houston and Tamba Hali would not practice Wednesday.
There was some encouraging news on Hali. Reid said there was a good chance Hali would play Sunday against the Broncos.
Houston finally underwent an MRI on his dislocated elbow today, because there was too much swelling for an earlier scan. | <urn:uuid:64fa3633-3c1d-4315-ac5c-065998cccaff> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.itsalloverfatman.com/prime-cuts/slice/injury-report-looks-like-chiefs-will-have-hali-but-not-houston | 2015-08-02T10:23:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042989042.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002309-00274-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982934 | 87 |
One driver in eight admits to falling asleep behind the wheel, according to new research by the AA Charitable Trust.
And nearly two fifths say they have been so tired they have been scared they would nod off while driving.
Collisions caused by falling asleep at the wheel are more likely than not to lead to some form of injury. That's because a driver who has dozed off won't have had enough reaction time to apply the brakes or steer elsewhere to reduce the impact.
Meanwhile, the brunt of repair and injury costs to third parties would fall on their insurer which, could run to a seven-figure sum.
Worse, it could lead to a loss of life on either side - which no amount of money can heal.
There's also the aftermath. Causing death by drowsiness could lead to the driver's prosecution for dangerous driving while the damage to your premium could mean you never afford to drive again.
The latest road casualty statistics show drowsy drivers contributed to 53 fatal and 351 serious crashes in 2017.
Based on Department for Transport figures, the cost of these crashes amounts to about £175.5million. However, the AA alleges the true figure for fatigue-related crashes is much higher due to under-reporting.
It estimates that up to 25% of fatal accidents are caused by drivers who have fallen asleep at the wheel.
Statistically crashes due to drowsy driving are most likely to occur on monotonous dual carriageway roads or motorways and in the early hours of the morning.
Young drivers in denial
The AA's research has been launched today as part of a nationwide campaign to alert drivers to the dangers of driving drowsy.
It found men are three times more likely than women to say they have fallen asleep at the wheel (17% compared with 5%).
And young drivers, aged 18-to-24, are the most likely to say being very tired does not affect their driving ability.
They are also the most likely age group to say they normally carry on regardless if they feel tired while driving.
Spot the warning signs
Over a third of drivers said they felt fine when they started their journey and their drowsiness took them by surprise while one in 10 knew they were tired when they began their journey.
More than a fifth said they had been driving for more than two hours without a break when they were affected by tiredness.
The AA Charitable Trust is calling on drivers to be alert to fatigue, reminding them that if they find themselves winding down the window or turning up the radio that these are symptoms of tiredness – and not an effective remedy.
Drivers doing these things need to take it as a sign they are too tired and need to stop at the next safe place; have two cups of coffee (or equivalent caffeinated drink) and nap for around 15 minutes.
4 seconds asleep on the motorway is equal to the length of a football pitch
"Tiredness is a fact of life at some point for most of us and it is crucial we know how to manage it in relation to driving," explained Edmund King, AA Charitable Trust director.
"Crashes involving a drowsy driver tend to be catastrophic. If a driver has fallen asleep at the wheel they do not brake before an impact and make no attempt to steer away from a collision," he added.
"A driver who nods off for just three or four seconds on a motorway would have covered the length of a football pitch with closed eyes. A 30 second nap while travelling at 60mph covers half a mile; a terrifying thought.
"Simple measures can help alleviate the risks. Winding down the window, singing and turning up the radio are not remedies to tiredness – rather a symptom in themselves.
"If you feel tiredness creeping up on you when driving then stop and take a break."
Dr Katharina Lederle, author of Sleep Sense, added: "Drinking caffeine and having a short nap before the caffeine effect kicks in - about 20 minutes - is a short-term solution. It can help drivers increase their alertness sufficiently to carry on driving for another hour or two. But this is no substitute for proper sleep.
"There are certain times of day when the risk of driver fatigue is highest, specifically between 2am and 6am and 2pm and 4pm, when the internal body clock is promoting sleepiness.
"Young drivers may also be more at risk as their need for sleep can be greater and lifestyle factors, such as excessive screen-time in evenings, irregular sleep patterns and consumption of stimulants can have a negative impact on sleep quality." | <urn:uuid:393d46aa-4d4a-4255-99e2-b03e536d4183> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/tiredness-kills-4-seconds-asleep-13522305 | 2019-04-22T01:38:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578532948.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20190421235818-20190422021818-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.975742 | 954 |

(AP/CBS) – Wide receiver Terrell Owens held a workout for NFL teams on Tuesday, but none of them showed up.
The 37-year-old free-agent participated in some drills and caught passes Tuesday outside Los Angeles, both only two TV stations were on hand to watch.
ESPN and the NFL Network were there, and televised the showcase.
TO’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said on Twitter that he will be contacting teams to tell them Owens “is immediately available to visit and work out for them. He could play this Sunday!”
There was some rumblings the New England Patriots may have been interested. There is a chance teams could still invite Owens in for a private workout.
Owens underwent surgery on his injured left knee over the offseason. He played 14 games for Cincinnati last year, making 72 receptions with nine touchdowns.
Owens has 153 career touchdowns over his 15-year career .

Fat killer pills are turning into the most looked for after weight loss supplement on the market today. There are a lot of things to consider with regards to buying supplements. It is basic that the item is free from harmful chemicals. As of late, there are reports that shook the entire country about thinning items that contain Ephedrine, which is a subsidiary from herbs from China. The herb is a crude fixing to make the synthetic.
Fat loss originates from your caloric admission being lower than your caloric use. Many weight loss program reviews demonstrate that moment weight loss diets prompt a human body crash or disappointment. This crash is an aftereffect of muscle loss, digestion rates dropping, and different other well-being reasons. They also demonstrate that losing anything more than two pounds seven days will prompt a crash, much else besides two seven days, for the most part, signifies that you are losing predominantly muscle mass and safe Anavar steroid cycle.
The digestion rate dropping means your body switches into starvation mode and starts to accumulate the fat cells, turning around any weight loss that had happened. The muscle mass your loss may have brought down the digits on the scale, however, has radically expanded the time required for you to really shed pounds from consuming fat. Muscles give an outlet to consuming calories, without your muscles you wind up becoming a knot in your sofa or bed. The best part of all is that what you can get for better results and make sure that it never counts. What you need to do is to simply get them on the run.
Advertising plays a significant part in our conviction about items. The crusades that work the best guarantee us what we need, or even need at the moment. We need to shed pounds with no exertion. Diets are hard. Many of us have attempted them and fizzled, a few times over. It’s a thrill ride of results – the fat falls off, and afterward moves back on, at that point back off, at that point zooms off. The diet pill advertiser burns through a huge number of dollars to persuade you their item will be different than the last fizzled one.
The compound is generally the primary fixing in most eating regimen pills items. These items are awfully costly and deadly to one’s wellbeing. There have been reports of incalculable people who utilized the item and endured antagonistic impacts, and nearly eighty people passed on. Now is the ideal time to pick a characteristic eating routine supplement.
Fat folios are fat safeguards. Rather than enabling the fat to be consumed by the body, fat folios join themselves to the fat cells and along these lines help expel it from the body. Proactol and Alli are known for their fat restricting impacts. Fat terminators enable the body to consume fat and keep the arrangement of fatty stores. A portion of the normal fixings in fat consuming supplements are green tea, ginseng and HCA. | <urn:uuid:8eae3f55-25ba-48b1-95d1-ef56faeb12db> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | http://locandatlantide.com/do-fat-loss-pills-work-for-everyone/ | 2019-09-21T19:12:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514574662.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20190921190812-20190921212812-00499.warc.gz | en | 0.960768 | 600 |
The Schellhardt siblings take a break for a photo at the 2009 annual Our M.O.M., Inc. Walk / Run they hold to raise money for Siteman melanoma research in honor of their mom.
Eight Siblings Fight for a World without Melanoma
Patricia Schellhardt Malone was “super mom.” She prepared a family dinner every night for her husband and eight children. She steadfastly continued the tradition after her husband died unexpectedly in 1982 from an aneurysm. At that time her oldest child was 17 and her youngest was 2.
“I cannot imagine having eight children and suddenly becoming a single mom,” Patricia’s daughter Elizabeth says. “But we were always her top priority. She never wavered.”
Patricia set high expectations for her children, and resolutely helped them achieve them. All eight kept their grades up in high school—while playing sports and leading full social lives—and continued on to college.
“We always had fun together, too,” Patricia’s daughter Maria recalls. “Actually, we are still together all of the time at family events and helping each other through everything!”
Talking and Drinking Coffee at Our Mom’s House
In January of 2005, Patricia was diagnosed with melanoma. She and her children and husband Frank Malone (whom she married in 1993) researched and visited elite cancer centers around the country. She chose Gerald Linette, MD, at the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine, to provide her care.
“Dr. Linette gave us the most confidence in what our mom’s treatment would be and what her life would look like,” Elizabeth says.
Patricia looked forward to seeing Dr. Linette at her appointments and was grateful that she was able to receive great care in St. Louis because it kept her strong support system close.
“Each time we were in the Siteman waiting room before Mom’s appointments, we’d meet someone who had traveled a long way to get their care here,” Elizabeth says. “We felt grateful that we were where we needed to be and that it was only a 10-minute drive.”
Although Patricia was given six months to live in July 2005, she continued to lead a full life until the winter of 2007, when her cancer progressed and the intensity of her treatment increased. “We all lived at our mom’s house during her last six months, drinking coffee and talking,” Maria says. “Our step-dad would tease us and ask if we had jobs or families to get home to because we’d be there around the clock.”
Our M.O.M., Inc.
In memory of their mother, the Schellhardt siblings created a foundation called Our M.O.M. (Our Mark on Melanoma), Inc. to raise awareness about melanoma prevention and detection. They also began to raise money to support the fund they started at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation: the Our M.O.M., Inc. Melanoma Endowed Fund in Memory of Patricia Schellhardt Malone, which supports Dr. Linette’s research. In 2010, they pledged $50,000 to the fund.
“When our mom was fighting melanoma, she said that she didn’t want anyone else to go through what she was going through,” Maria says. “In honor of our mom’s battle and in hope that no one else will have to experience the same pain, we are dedicated to supporting Dr. Linette’s research.”
The Our M.O.M., Inc. board, comprised of all eight Schellhardt siblings, volunteers time to speak about their cause at local high schools, construction sites, companies and at the Our M.O.M., Inc. Day at Busch Stadium. Proceeds from the annual Our M.O.M., Inc. walk/run benefit their mother’s fund at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation. The walk is the backdrop to a fun day of food, music, and face painting, with a dermatologist on-site to answer questions.
“Some people stay all day, and we are happy to have more people each year,” Elizabeth says.
“No matter how big our walk gets, everyone will be fed and entertained because our mom always fed anyone who walked through her door—and no matter the event, there was always a party after,”Maria adds.
Support the Our M.O.M., Inc. Melanoma Endowed Fund in Memory of Patricia Schellhardt Malone (#3417) today!

A significant number of South African citizens – good, principled men and women – have never believed that the South African Rugby Union (SARU) could ever be a credible agent for the promotion of non-racial sport, and particularly non-racial rugby, in this country.
South African rugby in the era of democracy has a sad history of promises made … and quickly and casually broken. And so, no one should be surprised that, despite the by-now tiresomely regular hands-on-heart commitment to transformation and the promise of new opportunities for black players, next month, when the Springboks participate in their 6th World Cup, the run-on team will have a familiar look about it. They will, in all likelihood, start their campaign with a side containing just two black players – a long-serving wing (in Bryan Habana) and a loosehead prop who wasn’t even born in South Africa (in Tendai Mtawarira).
This is hardly better than their first foray into the World Cup in 1995, when Chester Williams was the only black member of the team that started the final against the All Blacks.
It is a disgrace – of which the consequences should be mass sackings in SARU. In this regard, I am convinced that the weight of public opinion will result in heads rolling – even if South Africa wins the World Cup.
But this column is not about team selection, or even about transformation. Rather, it revolves around another issue, an issue centering on a lack of respect. It is about pissing on other peoples’ history. It is about SARU’s stock reaction to criticism of their failure in so many different areas both inside and outside the game: a silent, but unmistakably clear and arrogant … ‘Fuck you!’
South Africans who fought apartheid in sport are proud of their achievements – and do not take kindly to those whom they see as untransformed and always advantaged spitting on the sacrifices they made during some of this country’s darkest days.
On Saturday, the Springboks will play the Pumas in a friendly in Buenos Aires, which will have no meaning on the field, but will lead to at least one serious question being posed off it.
And it is this….
What the hell possessed SARU to agree to participate in a match celebrating the apartheid history of Argentine and white Springbok rugby?
Saturday’s game will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the tour to South Africa and the then Rhodesia by an Argentine team in 1965, during the high-noon of apartheid.
For those who have forgotten – or who want to forget – let me tell you what the 1960s meant to black people like me … to my parents … to my grandparents … to my family … and to my friends.
It was an era in which mixed marriages were forbidden, in which mixed-race couples were hounded, harassed, driven apart and often exiled. It was an era in which sexual relationships across colour lines were banned. It was an era in which the Population Registration Act ‘defined who was of which race’. And it was time in which countless thousands of black South Africans were driven from their homes as a result of the National Party’s Group Areas Act.
And that’s not all….
In 1963, the promulgation of the General Law Amendment Act gave police the right to detain people and, as some would point out, to torture them for 90 days without trial, and without access to a lawyer. By 1970, 22 people had died in detention after ‘falling out of windows’, ‘hanging themselves’ and ‘slipping on bars of soap’.
This, dear readers, was the Sixties.
Also in 1963, the ANC’s top leadership was detained at Liliesleaf Farm outside Johannesburg, after a raid by security police. In the so-called Rivonia Trial that followed in 1964, eight ANC leaders, including Nelson Mandela were sentenced to life imprisonment.
And yes, SARU, this is just another snippet of the true meaning of the 1960s.
And still this is not all.
In the 1960s, black sportspersons also felt the full weight of the jackboot of apartheid.
Of Maoris and Dollys
For many years, England, Australia and New Zealand and France, white South Africa’s traditional sporting opponents in rugby and cricket, knew what they needed to do if they wanted to undertake tours to the southern tip of Africa: they had to pick all-white teams.
And they were more than happy to comply. In one instance, the England cricket selectors were even prepared to drop a player of Indian origin in a series in the UK, so as not to upset the South African government.
But there is always an inevitability about change – even slow change. And so, as opposition to apartheid began growing, overseas administrators were forced to make polite ‘what if’ enquiries – such as ‘what if we were to choose our teams on merit?’
The question was first seriously raised during discussions about a New Zealand tour scheduled for South Africa in 1967. Word from New Zealand was that All Black selectors were becoming increasingly reluctant to collaborate with South African rugby authorities and their government in excluding Maoris from their touring teams.
Leaks from various sources suggested that the South African authorities would relent, and allow the All Blacks selectors to choose their teams on merit.
This confidence, however, proved to be misplaced….
On 4 September 1965, in a speech to hundreds of cheering supporters at Loskop Dam, near Groblersdal in present-day Mpumalanga, Verwoerd said: ‘No!’ His reasoning was that ‘once [different races] have integrated on the sports field, then the road to other forms of social integration has been opened.’
Verwoerd’s decision was later ratified by his cabinet.
But bad though this decision was, the biggest scandal of all during the 1960s was what became known as the ‘D’Oliveira Affair’. It revolved around Basil D’Oliveira, a cricketer from the Bo-Kaap, who was forced by apartheid to leave South Africa, to establish a career in England, for England … and JB Vorster, Verwoerd’s successor as Prime Minister of South Africa.
D’Oliveira’s dream was to return to the land of his birth as a member of an MCC (England) side. A run of bad form during an England tour to the West Indies saw him lose his place in the test side against the touring Australians. But then he was recalled for the final match of the Ashes series at the Oval.
D’Oliveira knew that his recall had brought him within sight of realising his incredible dream. Just one good performance would see him packing his bags for South Africa – and a test series against the Springboks. Or so he thought. He plundered 158 runs off the Aussie attack, but when the team was announced, his name was missing. He would never forget that day: it was Wednesday, 28 August 1968 – and he just broke down and cried.
But in the furore that followed, he was thrown another lifeline: the England allrounder, Tom Cartwright, withdrew through injury, and D’Oliveira was named to replace him. But this is where Vorster stepped in. Addressing a National Party congress in Bloemfontein, Vorster said, amid a cacophony of cheers from the party faithful: ‘The MCC team as constituted now is not the team of the MCC. It is the team of the Anti-Apartheid Movement, the team of the South African Non-Racial Olympic Committee and the team of Bishop [Ambrose] Reeves (an outspoken English cleric].’
The tour was cancelled.
So, again, dear readers this was more of the 1960s. Do you want SARU to celebrate and commemorate these events – in YOUR name?
SARU had no right to have accepted to play a game under these circumstances – and to be part of the celebrations of such a dubious occasion.
Whoever was responsible to agreeing to the request for this friendly match should resign – with immediate effect. Or be fired.
And the players, especially the black players need to be respected too. After being briefed by people who understand these issues, they should be given the option to withdraw from the squad.
This is the very least that SARU can do. | <urn:uuid:39d55052-e052-4925-96d7-1c7db1ef74e3> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://dougieoakes.co.za/2015/08/10/heres-why-sarus-entire-leadership-should-resign/ | 2020-01-25T03:27:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250628549.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200125011232-20200125040232-00106.warc.gz | en | 0.980295 | 1,795 |

Motorized Ghost Ship by SarielMay 4, 2012 posted by Walter
What happens when Lego Technic and Pirates clash? It seems we’ve just found out. Combining the power of Technic and Pirates, Sariel has built a motorized pirate ship that actually moves around. This lavishly spooky vessel also features some lovely details such as the crew getting into ghoulish mishaps and dark accents that personify this vessel as a ghost ship. It is certainly a vessel that many a sea fairing men would surely fear.

Mon dieu! Eight years of developing and delays aside, the Chicago French Market continues to surpass our expectations, and it's not even opening until mid-November.
The European-inspired, year-round indoor market, which will encompass 15,000 square feet in the Ogilvie Metra station, has added 16 more local vendors to its roster. They include Delightful Pastries, whose Fat Tuesday paczki are, for lack of better words, the bomb (that's proprietor Dobra Bielinski in the photo below); Fumare, a purveyor of cured and smoked meats; and Saigon Sisters, two sisters (and their mom) cooking up pho, banh mi and other Vietnamese items.
We admit -- we're not familiar with the bulk of these vendors, who also will offer tacos, Korean food, Belgian fries, freshly squeezed juices, baked goods, popcorn, seasonal produce, vegan food and flowers.
But judging by the previously announced purveyors (the oh-so-French Vanille Patisserie; the adorable nuns of Fraternite Notre Dame; the topnotch Pastoral cheese and wine shop, and South Loop's Canady Le Chocolatier, among them), we also doubt we'll be too disappointed. | <urn:uuid:957f4bce-f594-49b3-943d-2d9a57821cf6> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://blogs.suntimes.com/food/2009/10/more_vendors_join_chicago_fren.html | 2014-08-29T03:14:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500831565.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021351-00269-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.933692 | 263 |
EPIC-Every Person Influences Children
EPIC - Every Person Influences Children, Inc. is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping families, schools, and communities raise children to become responsible and successful adults. EPIC supports the people who have the most influence on children by providing evidence-based programs for parents, a character education curriculum for families and schools, and training for schools and agencies.
EPIC was founded out of a tragedy experienced by founder Robert Wilson. In 1977, his wife was murdered by a 15-year-old neighbor, a foster child they had befriended. Investigation of the child's life indicated that he had been abused, neglected, and placed in 11 different foster homes. He had not experienced love; he only knew anger and violence. While it was too late to change what had happened to his wife, Wilson felt that it was not too late for others.
In 1980 established EPIC in Buffalo, New York with a vision of preventing tragedies like his. EPIC's programs have now been replicated in hundreds of locations throughout New York state and in 16 other states. EPIC workshops and trainings carry out Robert Wilson's mission by involving the entire community in helping children make responsible decisions, understand and respect authority, develop positive self-esteem, plan for the future, and succeed in life.
The EPIC parenting education model is built on the principles of active learning. Workshops are designed to optimize learning, increase abilities, and decrease feelings of isolation and unacceptable behavior choices like hitting or yelling at your children.
Through quasi-experimental design and evidence-based research, EPIC has demonstrated that its parenting programs have a positive impact on children by first positively impacting their parents.
The following outcomes summarize EPIC's research:
- The more engaged parents are in EPIC workshops (attending the majority of workshops in a series) the better their Parental Confidence, the more positive their view of their role as parents, and the greater their levels of interaction with their children.
- When parents increase their levels and quality of interactions with their children, children become better prepared for school and personal success.
- The same positive changes occur, regardless of race or income level.
EPIC's research continues to demonstrate an increase in the capacity of children through parent education, improving their social/emotional skills, their relationship with their parents, and their future academic achievement.
EPIC is currently involved in over 21 different research projects with four university partners, including The University at Buffalo School of Social Work, University of Missouri - St. Louis, Rutgers University, and Canisius College.
EPIC has been a grassroots organization since its inception and continues to place a high value on community involvement and collaboration. This priority placed on community stems from EPIC's values and the very nature of its programs and services.
Implementing EPIC's programs in your community can change families' lives. EPIC trains parents, professionals, and community partners to facilitate its interactive workshops in their own communities through a two-day Facilitator Training. Specialized trainings are available for each of EPIC's programs to give partners the tools they need to successfully deliver the programs in their community. This model ensures that the quality of the program is maintained, while allowing for the greatest number of families to be impacted, a goal which is more attainable through community partnerships.
EPIC invites you to see how its programs and services can meet your school or agency's unique needs. We are happy to consult with you about bringing EPIC to your community. We are also interested in collaborating with agencies and schools to support our common goal of raising responsible and academically successful children. | <urn:uuid:279812ab-b19f-4e6d-bcac-e6e378dc68cc> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.idealist.org/en/nonprofit/629a886447c141a4b9d7fa886b18f8da-epic-every-person-influences-children-buffalo?redirected-from-listing=true | 2018-06-20T21:21:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863886.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620202232-20180620222232-00319.warc.gz | en | 0.970673 | 750 |
